Way Forward
• Need for GoI leadership at strategic and technical level for maximum national ownership
• Alignment with NDP process is critical for ownership of UN development assistance as well as for maximum impact
• Partnership with GoI, academia, civil society must be sought to ensure a comprehensive and integrated development framework that builds on the principle of mutual accountability
Way Forward … cont’d
• Harmonization within UN planning processes, and between GoI and UN, will lead to a coherent, coordinated, and effective response to national priorities at the country level
• Joint UN-GoI prioritization of development results for Iraq to enhance the effectiveness of respective contributions and mutual accountability
• UN principles and values including MD/ MDGs remain central to CCA/ UNDAF process –
Human Rights Based Approach to programming and Results Based Management principles to be followed along with Conflict Sensitivity Analysis to understand the
dynamics and to plan within a clear contingency framework
