Challenges We Faced
Capacity of Iraqi Ministries/AgenciesDifferent Implementation Modalities between Grant and Loan – Project Owner is Government of IraqLack of system/legislation/rule
Who would be the borrower ???, Who can assure the effectiveness of loan agreements???
Centralized Decision Making, Economic SanctionLoss of some good Iraqi officials due to the security situation
Implementing projects under the prevailing security situation
Japanese Consultants and Manufactures gradually started to visit Iraq
