The present report forms part of the evaluation of the Swiss Assisted Return and Reintegration (AVRR) programmes mandated by the Federal Office for Migration (FOM) in 2012. It is to contribute to reaching the evaluation’s objectives and providing answers to the three principal evaluation questions by presenting data and experiences from Iraq (more precisely: the Kurdistan region in the North of the country). At the same time, this report is a document in its own right, designed to be understood by readers without the necessity to consult additional documents, including the six other country studies (Georgia, Guinea, Kosovo, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Turkey) and the overall and synthetic evaluation report.
