OUR PARTNERS
PBI has partnered with The Education for Peace in Iraq Center (EPIC) on an initiative to connect Iraqi diaspora with civil society NGOs working inside Iraq. EPIC works one-on-one with civil society leaders in Iraq to provide relief to vulnerable populations, monitor the crisis to better inform public policy, and enhance understanding of Iraq’s story. EPIC was founded in 1998 by veterans of the Gulf War who believe that a human security approach can make Iraq safe and prosperous again.
