Description:

The project aims to address the underlying drivers of instability in Iraq and support the Government of Iraq (GoI) in meeting the needs of the Iraqi people. This project supports the Iraq Reform, Reconstruction and Recovery Fund (I3RF), a five-year (2019-2023) World Bank-managed multi-donor trust fund launched in November 2018. The I3RF works to provide a platform for donor coordinated financing, dialogue and engagement with the GOI with a focus on providing technical assistance, pilot programs and advisory support to the GOI’s public investments in socio-economic recovery, reconstruction, national economic and financial governance reform efforts and private-sector-led economic growth. Project activities include: (1) technical assistance and support for innovative pilot programs to increase access to employment opportunities for youth, women, internally displaced persons and the poor; (2) technical assistance and advisory support to the GOI on economic and governance reforms; and (3) multi-stakeholder planning and coordination of reconstruction and development efforts.
