Focus Group Report and NDI Poll: Iraqi Views on Politics, Sectarianism and Women, February - March 2011
Focus groups conducted in January suggest that, although Iraqis continued to have an optimistic view toward their country’s democracy, they had significant grievances about the lack of job opportunities and services that they expected from the government.
