The IMIRA survey will deliver basic data on living conditions in Iraq. It will cover population, housing, infrastructure, health, nutrition, education, labour market and household economy. In post war Iraq reliable and uncontested data on the living conditions in different areas of the country and of the various segments of the population will become important in order to plan humanitarian interventions and for supporting the overall development process. Timely and accurate statistics are also important for the design of adequate policies, monitoring and evaluation. Uncontested data may form an important vehicle for launching social dialogue and fact based reflection over the way forward. IMIIRA is a rapid living conditions assessment of Iraq that will be carried out by the Central Office of Statistics and Information Technology (COSIT) of Iraq in Cooperation with Fafo. It is financed by UNDP through a grant from the Norwegian Government. IMIRA is intended to cover all the 18 governorates in Iraq. A representative, two-stage probability sample of 22,000 households will be drawn. Fieldwork statusThe fieldwork in the 16 southern governorates was completed the 1st of June 2004.
