Supporting Recovery and Stability in Iraq through Local Development
This program intends to help the Government of Iraq to restore the legitimacy of the country’s institutions and renew the social contract between citizens and the state.
The programme builds upon the momentum created by the EU-Funded Local Area Development Program (LADP II), which concluded in mid-2019, after providing strategic planning and capacity building support at governorate level across Iraq.
The programme, implemented by UNDP and UNHABITAT, has the overall objective of contributing to the stability and socio-economic development of Iraq by enhancing democratic governance at the local level. The focus is on improving the ability of selected governorates to effectively and transparently manage local government and public services, increasing economic growth and creating jobs (with a focus on green projects involving youth and women) and enhancing the living conditions of returnees and the local population in conflict affected areas.
