Poverty is a social and economic phenomenon that afflicts nations and societies, and it
represents a complex problem with serious political, economic, and social dimensions.
Poverty is one of the most significant obstacles to development due to its impact on
human security within society. Therefore, eradicating poverty is a high-priority
requirement for sustainable development. However, advanced countries with large
economies have managed to reduce poverty rates, raise the poverty line, and mitigate its
effects on vulnerable groups.
Political and security instability, wars, economic imbalances, financial corruption, and
administrative mismanagement have contributed to the widespread prevalence of
poverty in Iraq. This has resulted in a cumulative nature of poverty, despite the numerous
policy programs aimed at addressing it. In 2022, the poverty rate reached 25%, and it
continues to increase. The significant population growth, limited resources, and lack of
effective resource management further exacerbate this issue.
