Past conflicts in northern Iraq, including the genocidal use of weapons of mass destruction, continue to take a severe toll on people’shealth and on the environment.

Sjt risks and mitigations of releasing datakjantin
This document discusses risks and mitigations when releasing data. It defines risk as the probability of something happening multiplied by the resulting cost or benefit. There are risks of physical harm, legal harm, reputational harm, and privacy breaches to data subjects, collectors, processors, and those releasing the data. Risk levels can be low, medium, or high. The document provides strategies for mitigating risks such as considering partial data releases, including locals to assess risks in local languages/contexts, and being aware of how data may interact with other datasets. It also discusses handling personally identifiable information by learning to spot red flags like names, addresses, exact locations, codes, and uncommon terms that could identify individuals.

It states that civic power, when applied strategically through these tactics, can disrupt corrupt systems, weaken support for corrupt leaders, and win over the public and honest officials. The document also provides 10 good practices for effective anti-corruption campaigns and lists some tools that have been used, noting that 80% of governments fail to provide adequate budget transparency.
The document provides instructions for grantees on how to report their financial information to the funding organization. It explains the various financial reporting forms that grantees must submit, including a Financial Reporting Sheet, Invoice Verification Worksheet, and timesheet.

The document discusses tactical mapping, which is a tool to help understand relationships and institutions that sustain human rights abuses ("the terrain"). It involves visualizing these connections on a map and identifying potential tactics. The map has a central relationship at the core and layers of connected individuals and groups radiating outwards. Lines denoting the nature of relationships are drawn between nodes on the map. Tactics can then be assigned to specific targets. The process helps coordinate strategies and uncover new approaches.
