ACF is committed to people with disabilities and actively fights against all forms of discrimination.

The mission currently employs 3 international and 39 national staff, working from the coordination office in Erbil, field offices in Mosul, Sinuni sub-base and Basrah. ACF is intending to expand to other locations in the country especially Dyala with the BHA project.

The coordination is located in Erbil which is the the capital of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, has a unique political landscape shaped by the region's semi-autonomous status. The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) plays a significant role in governing Erbil, fostering a degree of political stability. Erbil is estimated to have a population of around 1.5 million people. Socio-Economic Situation: The city has experienced economic growth, particularly with investments in the oil and gas sector. The Kurdistan Region's relative stability has attracted business ventures and contributed to the region's economic development. The population of Erbil is predominantly Kurdish, with a notable presence of Arabs and minorities. The majority of residents are Sunni Muslims, but there is also a substantial Christian and Yazidi minority. Erbil generally enjoys a more stable security environment compared to other parts of Iraq. The KRG's focus on internal security measures contributes to a safer atmosphere. However, occasional security concerns persist, and expatriates should remain vigilant and adhere to security guidelines.
