IIACSS (Al Mustakella for Research)

IIACSS is an Iraqi-owned, fully licensed research and evaluation company – and Iraq's first survey research firm. The team has completed more than 3 million face-to-face interviews across Iraq and the Middle East since Iraq's first-ever poll in 2003 in the immediate aftermath of the Saddam regime. IIACSS is Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon's member of the Gallup International association, established 72 years ago. It is the first name in international public opinion research in Iraq. Working with several international partners since 2003, the IIACSS research team has undertaken hundreds of face-to-face household surveys on behalf of the UK government (MOD, FCO, DFID), US government (DOD, DOS, USAID), media organizations (BBC, Al-Jazeera, News International), NGOs (UNICEF, ICRC), World Bank, and many others, from the World Values Survey Association to the Arab barometer. IIACSS has five offices across Iraq, which cover all eighteen governorates from the North to the South. Our five regional offices are in Baghdad, Basra, Babylon, Sulaymaniah, and Erbil. IIACSS also has a subsidiary office in Stuttgart, Germany, with headquarters in Amman, Jordan, and partners in Syria, Yemen, and Libya.
