Grant Description

Taqadum will establish new partnerships with four ministries (Agriculture, Sport and Youth, Housing and Construction, and Labor and Social Affairs) in addition to the three ministries it currently partners with (Health, Education, and Municipalities and Public Works).

These partnerships will focus on decentralization of authorities and service delivery improvements in 15 provinces (excluding the Iraq Kurdistan Region).

Taqadum will assist in establishment of task forces, conducting assessments, and developing and implementing Intergovernmental Coordination Improvement Plans (ICIP) and Service Delivery Improvement Plans.

This work will be accomplished through the facilitation of meetings between provinces and decentralizing ministries, and by building the capacity of local governments.

Taqadum will also focus on the three Da'esh-occupied provinces to build their capacity for restoring service delivery following liberation.
