United Nations and Government of Iraq Deliver Transformative Results for Sustainable Development in 2024 [EN/AR]

Baghdad, 14 August 2025 – The United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in Iraq, working closely with the Government of Iraq, has launched the 2024 UN Annual Results Report, highlighting transformative achievements that have accelerated Iraq’s progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and national development priorities.

The report marks the conclusion of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF) 2020–2024 and reflects the collective impact of 23 UN agencies partnering with national institutions, civil society, the private sector, and international partners to address Iraq’s most urgent challenges while laying the foundation for long-term stability and prosperity.

In 2024, joint UN–Government efforts delivered impactful results across five priority areas:

  1. Social Cohesion, Protection and Inclusion: Nearly 285,000 children, women, and families accessed child protection and domestic violence response services. Housing rehabilitation supported 2,695 returnee families, while 209 community policing initiatives-built trust between law enforcement and residents. Peacebuilding advanced through the engagement of 416 women and youth in Local Peace Committees, driving reconciliation and promoting peaceful coexistence in conflict-affected areas.
  2. Economic Growth for All: The UN boosted inclusive economic opportunities by creating 1,300 jobs and 62,000 worker days in Nineveh and Duhok. Livelihood support packages strengthened resilience for 8,209 households, while 7,539 job-seekers – 29% women – were linked to employment through service centres. To stimulate local economies, $7 million in grants helped 540 SMEs expand, while the renovation of 50 dairy centres created 730 jobs. Additionally, 465 entrepreneurs were trained by UN-certified trainers to start or grow businesses.
  3. Effective, Inclusive and Efficient Institutions and Services: The UN supported Iraq’s first national census in over three decades, a milestone for data-driven policy and equitable resource allocation. Education services improved for 1.5 million children – 53% girls – through the school-based management model, while 47% of 290,418 identified out-of-school children re-enrolled…

Ramapough Lenape chief unseated, arrested in illegal coup, lawsuit says

The leader of the Ramapough Lenape Nation in Bergen County has sued rival tribal members for allegedly staging an illegal takeover of the council, ousting him, having him arrested, and seizing control of the tribe’s nonprofit arm.

Chief Dwaine Perry claims in court papers that rival members violated the tribe’s 2008 Constitution when they voted in May to suspend him and later removed him and other council members without proper authority.

After his removal, Perry was arrested at tribal headquarters in Mahwah for allegedly trespassing, court records show.

Perry says his removal was based on outdated 2004 bylaws that allow non-council members to vote, according to the lawsuit, filed in Superior Court of Bergen County on Aug. 7.

Tribal Council members did not respond to calls and emails seeking comment on the lawsuit.

The Ramapough Lenape Nation is recognized by New Jersey and New York as an American Indian tribe. The Tribal Council oversees the Wolf Clan in Mahwah, the Turtle Clan in Ringwood and the Deer Clan in Hillburn, New York.

After his suspension, Perry was charged on July 22 with criminal trespass when he returned to the Ramapough Lenape Community Center in the 100 block of Stag Hill Road, according to court records.

A source close to the case claims Perry was arrested when he returned to replace pictures of himself, which had been taken off a wall after he was ousted.

Police issued Perry a summons to appear in court and released him. The charge, which is a disorderly persons’ offense, remains pending in municipal court.

Perry is suing rival members for allegedly defaming him after he suggested “their finances should be looked at,”…

Firm selected for design engineering work on closed Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge

WILKES-BARRE — PennDOT has approved Luzerne County Council’s firm selection for design engineering work on the closed Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge, Council Chairman John Lombardo announced at Tuesday’s meeting.

Council has selected Modjeski and Masters Inc. based in Cumberland County. The firm designed the Carey Avenue replacement bridge that opened in 2002 over the Susquehanna River and links Hanover Twp. and Plymouth.

The county owns the closed Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge over the Susquehanna River and has been going through PennDOT’s process to select a design firm to determine how to repair, reconstruct or replace the bridge. That will allow the county to receive $10 million in federal project funding through the state Transportation Improvement Program.

“The project is one of the top priorities for all of us, and I’m pleased to announce that we’re moving forward on that in actually a rather timely manner, while ensuring that we’re doing it right,” County Manager Romilda Crocamo said. “The firm that was selected by council I’m confident will do an extraordinary job in this project. Your patience and your support during this process — it’s a rather tedious process — is greatly appreciated. … We have a lot of work to do, but we are up to the challenge.”

On March 20, Crocamo closed the bridge over the Susquehanna River shortly after engineers conducting a scheduled routine bridge inspection determined advanced deterioration and section loss of primary, load-carrying components were critical deficiencies.

The bridge, built in 1914, links Nanticoke City to the West Nanticoke section of Plymouth Twp. The distance between the West Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge and the next-closest bridge over the river, the Route 29 bridge connecting Hanover Twp. and Plymouth Twp., is more than one mile.

Last year, the vehicular weight limit on the bridge was reduced to 5 tons. That…

Sun sale ‘not quite at the finish line,’ team could stay in Connecticut 

Fans in the Nutmeg State may find themselves without their lone professional sports team, if recent reports that the Connecticut Sun may be moved to Boston will come to fruition. However, the WNBA and team president Jennifer Rizzotti say it’s not a done deal yet. 

“Contrary to some of the articles that were out yesterday, the team has not been sold,” Rizzotti said at a press conference on Sunday. “I can say that I have met personally with different investment groups over the last few months, and it’s been a thorough process. We’re not quite at the finish line yet.” 

In May, the Mohegan Tribe hired investment bank Allen and Company to “explore all options to strategically invest in the team,” without ruling out a potential sale, according to WFSB Channel 3. 

The commotion comes after the Boston Globe broke the news on Saturday that Boston-based investor Stephen Pagliuca had bid $325 million to purchase the team, a record-breaking price for a women’s sports franchise. Pagliuca is a former co-owner of the Boston Celtics, the city’s NBA team. 

A statement by Pagliuca specifies his group’s objective is “[to] keep New England’s WNBA team in New England…enabling the Sun to play in larger capacity arenas” and to invest in the team’s growth, but notes that “no transaction has been agreed [to] yet.” 

Another investment promise made by his Pags Group is an additional $100 million to build the team a dedicated practice facility in Boston. The Sun currently practice inside Mohegan Sun Arena or at the Mohegan Tribal Community Center, which is sometimes used as a shared space.

New visitor center at Mohican State Park debuts this week

LOUDONVILLE, Ohio – Mohican State Park, one of Ohio’s most popular outdoor spaces, will debut a new visitor center this week.

The $4.7 million center, which opens Tuesday, will feature information about park activities, park geography and the flora and fauna of the area, plus plenty of places for hikers and other visitors to take a load off.

“Mohican to me is about trees and hikes through the beautiful forest, maybe canoeing down the beautiful waterways,” said Mary Mertz, director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. “The visitor center will reflect that. It will have a lodge feel to it along with a beautiful porch space.”

It will also have a fireplace, interactive public art and “great bathrooms – which is always the most important thing for park visitors,” said Mertz.

The 5,200-square foot center is located off Ohio 3, just south of Loudonville, about 70 miles southwest of Cleveland.

It’s adjacent to the Clear Fork Branch of the Mohican River and the entrance to the park campground. It will be open year-round.

The structure is one of a handful of visitor centers being added to Ohio’s most popular state parks in recent years. In 2019, the state added a visitor center to Hocking Hills State Park, the state’s flagship in Southeast Ohio.

A visitor center at Portage Lakes State Park in Summit County is expected to open this fall.

Mohican State Park, with 1,110 acres in southern Ashland County, is surrounded by 4,450 acres of Mohican Memorial State Forest.

The park is home to an overnight lodge, camping sites and cabins, plus hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding trails. For information: ohiodnr.gov/go-and-do/plan-a-visit/find-a-property/mohican-state-park
