This workshop will build on the outcomes of the previous “Workshop on evaluating the capacity of Iraqi institutions in project implementation and coordination among governmental and non-governmental organizations”, which was held in Beirut - ESCWA, between 4-6 December 2018, attended by 24 Iraqi senior civil servants. The first workshop assessed the institutional capacities in the health, education and labor sectors in addition to the municipal institution in Al-Hamdania district (Nineveh governorate) to meet the challenges of reconstruction and reintegration of IDPs. The main recommendations were: (1) to tackle the institutional gaps assessment at the district and governorate levels; and (2) select trainers from among the participants for future training of trainers (TOT).
