  • Multi-Sector Needs Assessment of Hosting Communities Across the Kurdistan Region of Iraq
    MULTI-SECTOR NEEDS ASSESSMENT OF HOSTING COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE KURDISTAN REGION OF IRAQ KURDISTAN REGION OF IRAQ ASSESSMENT REPORT MARCH 2015 Multi-Sector Needs Assessment of Hosting Communities Across the Kurdistan Region of Iraq EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Before any attempt at analysis is made, it is important to briefly take note of context. Territories under the control of the Kurdistan Regional Government have absorbed multiple bouts of large scale, protracted external and internal displacement. The latest, and most severe round, was internal and although caused by the spillover of conflict from neighbouring Syria, displaced an estimated 1.6 million individuals. An estimated 1.2 million of these individuals now reside in the KRI, scattered across areas already hosting significant numbers of Syrian refugees. Since then, no comprehensive attempt has been made to assess or even establish a baseline to document and gauge the effects of these crises on the hosting communities of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). This report presents findings and analysis across the sectors of demographics, livelihoods, food security, education, health as well as social cohesion for hosting communities across 22 districts of the KRI. Key findings from the assessment include, but are by no means limited to, the following: Demographics: Minors under the age of 18 constitute 65% of all individuals, whilst minors under the age of 12 account for a third (30%) of the host community population, thus indicating a high rate of dependency and highlighting a very young population. The proportion of dependents relative to the economically active is highest in Dahuk, in particular the KRG-administered districts of Ninewa.

  • Ex-Ante Evaluation (For Japanese ODA Loans) 1. Name of the Project Country: the Republic of Iraq Project: Water Supply Improveme
    Japanese ODA Loan Ex-Ante Evaluation (for Japanese ODA Loans) 1. Name of the Project Country: The Republic of Iraq Project: Water Supply Improvement Project in Kurdistan Region Loan Agreement: March 17, 2009 Loan Amount: 34,266 million Yen Borrower: The Government of the Republic of Iraq 2. Background and Validity of the Project After receiving significant damage economically and socially due to the long-term economic restrictions and conflict, Iraq has been reconstructed with support from international society after the war. Although the water supply sector in Iraq was relatively in good condition compared with its neighboring countries before the 1991 Gulf War, its condition has worsened significantly because of the lack of maintenance, operations, and extension due to economic restrictions and conflict following the war. Infrastructure Because the infrastructure for water service was neglected in the Kurgistan Region under the former Hussein regime, the facilities have aged, markedly decreasing the region’s ability to draw and purify water. With no choice but to impose restrictions, water is supplied only about one hour per day in the Sulaimaniya and Dohuk Governorates, and four to five hours per day in the Erbil Governorate, which is far short of sufficient supplies. For example, in Erbil, the largest city in the region, the capacity of the three water treatment plants is approximately 241,000 m3 per day, which falls considerably short of the daily demand of 442,000 m3. In Halabja, a city in the Sulaimaniya Governorate, there are no water treatment plants, and.residents must rely on springs and ground water as water sources.

  • National Development Plan
    National Development Plan 2013-2017 Republic of Iraq Ministry of Planning National Development Plan 2013 – 2017 Baghdad January 2013 Preface by the Minister of Planning A clear and defined path for development can only be mapped out through the creation of medium- and long- term plans and strategies built on sound methodology and an accurate reading of the economic, social, urban, and environmental reality. All the possibilities, problems, and challenges of distributing the available material and human resources across competing uses must be taken into consideration to maximize results for the national economy and the broader society. Three years of implementation of the 2010-2014 National Development Plan have resulted in important successes in certain areas and setbacks in others. It’s not fair to say that responsibility for the failures lies with the policies and programs adopted in the previous plan. The security and political dimensions of the surrounding environment, the executive capabilities of the ministries and governorates, the problems that continue to hinder the establishment and implementation of projects, weak commitment to the plan, and the weak link between annual investment budgets and plan priorities, along with the plan targets and the means of reaching these targets are all factors that contributed to these setbacks in certain areas and require that this plan be met with a high degree of compliance. The official decision announcing the 2010-2014 National Development Plan document included following up on plan goals in 2012 to monitor achievements and diagnose failures. In addition, it included keeping up with world economic developments and the effects and repercussions of the financial crisis on all economic conditions, in particular oil prices and developments in oil production and exports in Iraq, expectations of increasing it over the medium term through oil licensing rounds, and the effects of this on the great increase anticipated in the resources available for development and relative improvement in security.

  • Supporting Recovery and Development in the Kurdistan Region
    Supporting Recovery and Development in the Kurdistan Region July 2009 United Nations Development Programme Supporting Recovery and Development in the Kurdistan Region UNDP-Iraq in Partnership with the Kurdistan Region Since 2003, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has been supporting the work of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in its efforts to reconstruct and develop the Kurdistan region. Based on the legacy of UNDP’s Electricity Network Rehabilitation Programme implemented from 1996 to end 2002, several initial projects undertaken by UNDP focused on infrastructure activities. Since these early days, UNDP’s support has expanded to cover a broad spectrum of projects covering many sectors across the three governorates. These have ranged from short-term income generation initiatives for vulnerable groups, mine victim assistance and response to the cholera outbreak to more upstream activities such as the development of a donor assistance database for aid coordination, loan management, budget execution and public finance management. It is also supporting the KRG in rule of law, human rights and justice issues as well as water sanitation master planning and capacity building programmes. Reflecting its broad development mandate, UNDP Iraq currently operates in Kurdistan across the following four programmatic areas: (1) Recovery and Crisis Prevention; (2) Governance and Civil Society; (3) Poverty Reduction and Human Development; and (4) Mine Action. Following restructuring in summer 2009 UNDP Iraq will operate under two programmatic pillars: (1) Governance and (2) Economic Recovery and Poverty Alleviation. In 2009, UNDP renewed its commitment to assist the KRG and has expanded its support in all the areas under its development mandate.
