"Our cooperation with the World Bank has been fruitful, and this project complements the existing and supportive efforts of the Department of Finance "The project we are signing today will focus on donor-government coordination, more effective resource management, stronger oversight and accountability, and fight corruption." The EU is ready to help Iraq meet the challenges of reconstruction and secure a better future for Iraq.
"The program is based on three pillars and includes nine sub-components, each of which is linked to a specific objective of the Iraqi government's mandate, and a government institution or unit has been designated for each of these components to be the follow-up to the implementation of this component with the World Bank Group and the European Union. While the Iraqi authorities will be concerned with the implementation of some components with the support of the World Bank, the World Bank and the European Union will implement other components because of the weak potential.
"The program envisages the establishment of a donor coordination committee to discuss all decisions on fiscal management reforms and donor support under the supervision of the Iraqi government to ensure ownership, coordination, integration and comprehensive reforms."
