CIGE actively seeks partnerships to enhance its operations, including embedding international standards and best practices across its work, and facilitating the provision of essential services.

In parallel, CIGE pursues a judicial cooperation program in pursuit of its investigative goals, including the fulfillment of requests for assistance from credible third state investigative entities. CIGE remains appreciative to its partners for their continued support and remains open to engaging with stakeholders where its mandate allows.

CIGE pursues long-term partnerships with organisations that specialize in capacity development and technical assistance for the investigation of complex international crimes committed by non-state actors. To date, these partnerships have greatly improved CIGE's operational capabilities in areas such as investigative best practices, evidence digitization, evidence management and analysis, requests for assistance, general legal assistance, victim and survivor support, and outreach.

CIGE also participates in specialized training sessions led by subject-matter experts that can increase its skills, techniques, and understanding of relevant aspects of its work. CIGE welcomes such support.

CIGE is committed to maintaining and expanding its referral network of qualified and suitable services for victims and survivors. This network includes specialized psychological centers, medical facilities, and CSOs that focus on psychosocial support.

CIGE coordinates closely with national stakeholders to find, identify and repatriate remains of missing persons, further refine methodologies for identification and to facilitate the exchange of pertinent information related to missing individuals, including CSOs and national institutions such as the KRG Ministry of Interior, Directorate of Yezidi Affairs, Office of the Kidnapped Affairs, Mass graves Directorate of Martyrs Foundation, and Medico Legal Directorate in Baghdad.

Engagement with survivor groups, including tribal leaders and managers of IDP camps, plays a pivotal role in enabling CIGE to establish connections with remote and diaspora survivors. This collaboration enhances CIGE's understanding of survivors' experiences and challenges, informing its support initiatives effectively.

CIGE is committed to fostering collaboration and cooperation with NGOs and CSOs to enhance support for survivors. As part of this commitment, CIGE actively participates in several initiatives, such as the Network of Legal Advisers, where legal advisors from national and international CSOs in KRI convene to discuss collaborative initiatives and frequently participates in other events and programs such as those of the Coalition for Just Reparations (C4JR). CIGE remains open to engaging and partnering with any NGOS that align with its mandate.

CIGE supports the criminal investigations of various reputable third states and international organisations by actively handling and responding to requests for assistance, in line with Iraqi national laws on mutual legal assistance.
