In an effort to fill gaps in action oriented research on Syrian refugee adolescents and their host community peers, Mercy Corps conducted eight focused discussions with adolescents in the Kurdish Region of Iraq (KRI) in June 2014.
Based on those discussions, this report details findings and presents recommendations that should guide investments in future oriented strategies to facilitate and improve adolescent well-being and critical development skills for Syrian refugee and Iraqi Kurdish adolescents residing in host communities in the KRI.
