With support from the United Nations Industrial De-
velopment Organization (UNIDO), in cooperation with
the Italian Trade Commission, 13 Iraqi entrepreneurs
attended the EDIL LEVANTE Construction Fair in Bari,
Italy, from 22 – 25 April 2010. The aim of the study
tour was to support the entrepreneurs in upgrading
their small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
through international partnership, technology transfer
and equipment purchases. “This presents a great op-
portunity to be exposed to up-to-date technologies,
know-how transfer and to help in reconstructing
Iraq.” said the Director-General of Industrial Develop-
ment and Regulatory Directorate of Iraq‟s Federal
Ministry of Industry, Mr. Sinan Kadim Jasim Al-Saidi.
The Iraqi entrepreneurs visited over 140 exhibits and
conducted 64 bilateral meetings with Italian entrepre-
neurs. They stressed that the fair was a unique op-
portunity to introduce the Iraqi construction sector to
firms abroad and learn about new machinery and
technologies. “We are very glad to cooperate with
foreign companies in re-building Iraq, and hope to
provide new technology, good quality and modern
style productions to the Iraqi community through
partnerships built at this fair,” said Mr. Sami Jaleel
Mousawi, President of Al-Ansab Business Group.
Prior to the mission the selected entrepreneurs re-
ceived technical assistance funded through the UNDG
ITF, with contributions from the Italian Cooperation
for Development, project C10-07, approved for $3.0
million, “Enterprise Development and Investment Pro-
motion for the SME sector in Iraq.”
The project‟s objective is to contribute to the develop-
ment of SMEs in Iraq and the creation of employment
opportunities. Enterprise Development and Invest-
ment Promotion (EDIP) set up three Enterprise Devel-
opment Units (EDUs) in the governorates of Baghdad,
Erbil and Thiqar, to provide enterprise development
services to local entrepreneurs. The EDUs are com-
posed of local institutional counterpart officials
trained by UNIDO, who have to date provided train-
ings to 341 potential entrepreneurs and are currently
supporting 235 small and medium businesses through
counseling services. The counselors supported the
preparation of 98 business plans and upgrading plans
which were reviewed by international consultants and
ready to be
p re s en t ed
to suitable
f i n a n c i a l
institutions.
The project
to date has
suppo r t ed
training of
95 Iraqi of-
ficials in
ente rpr i se
c r e a t i o n
and up-
g r a d i n g
that has resulted in the establishment and expansion
of 37 enterprises. The provision of an SME credit fa-
cility of $1 million was also included within the project
to ensure that beneficiaries would have access to an
appropriate financing scheme.
In order to further reinforce and complement the
UNIDO assistance to SMEs, the Italian Cooperation
for Development has granted bi-lateral funds to
UNIDO to support “Investment Promotion for Iraq”
and the through the UNDG ITF a total of $2.9 million
was approved for C10-12 "Enterprise Development
through Information and Communication Technology"
that focuses on increasing the competitiveness of ex-
isting SMEs, and support the creation of new ones
through on-line training and tutoring.

Urban Planning (UP) and Local Economic Development (LED) training Courses in Baghdad and KRG
Issue
In towns and cities, the growing confidence in the future of Iraq translates into demand for land and sites for
housing, schools, commercial and business uses. Managing this demand and creating an appropriate land use
plan and infrastructure investment framework to support it, is the role of town and city planners. However, the
profession is weak; municipal staff performing these roles usually come from the engineering profession and
there are limitations in the skills and numbers of qualified planners performing these roles. The UN-HABITAT
project, “Local Government Association and Urban Development Capacity Building” was funded by the UNDG
ITF for $1.9 millionfocuses on building skills to address these challenges with planning officials in Iraq from the
Ministry of Municipalities and Public Works (MMPW) and the Ministry of Planning (MoP).
Action
In liaison with MMPW, MoP and Ministry of Municipalities in KRG, UN-HABITAT selected professionals and aca-
demics from the private sector and academic institutions (e.g. High Institute of Urban and Regional Planning in
Baghdad University and University of Erbil) as „Trainers of Trainers (ToT)‟. These ToTs, working with the Gov-
ernment Organization of Physical Planning (GOPP) in Egypt, designed a ten day training programme which in-
troduced the latest and best practices in urban planning and economic development. Topics covered included;
strategic planning, design and planning standards, development control, how to address informal settlements,
land rights and management issues. A specialist team focused on local economic development examining the
linkages between land use planning and economic objectives and how to prepare a local economic development
plan. In April and after professional selection of training materials, ten days training courses on UP and LED
were conducted in Baghdad and Erbil by the professional academic trainers in close liaison with Government of
Iraq (GoI) officials. Fifty-two staff from MMPW, MoP and Ministry of Municipalities in KRG participated in this
training which successfully ended with the participants awarded certificates by the GoI officials and UN-
HABITAT.
Impact
How far the new approaches and ideas shared can be applied in practice immediately is difficult to gauge. Cer-
tainly, at a ministerial level within the target Ministries there is a growing understanding of „participatory‟ and
„strategic‟ planning approaches, and interest and willingness to apply them. Similarly the need to link economic
development planning with land use planning objectives is better understood. Key staff are keen to apply les-
sons more holistically and consideration is currently being given to a programme that will upgrade the training
for planners within the tertiary education sector. At the same time a more proactive professional institute for
planners in Iraq providing short courses, networking and learning exchange as well as formal courses of study is
under consideration.

2. 2. UNOPS Supports the Development of Regulations for the New NGO Law
Page 4 UNDG ITF Second Quarter Newsletter April—June 2010
Representatives of
the Iraqi Council of
Ministers Secretariat
(CoMSec) including
the NGOs Director-
ate, several Iraqi
Government Minis-
tries, outgoing Chair
of Iraqi Council of
Representat ives ‟
Civil Society Com-
mittee, and Iraqi and International NGOs, on 4th April agreed
on recommendations to guide the implementing regulations
for the new Iraqi Law on Non-Governmental Organizations
(NGOs) (Law No. 12 of 2010), which entered into force in
April 2010.
“The passing of the NGO law in early 2010 was the successful
result of years of consultations and negotiations, but without
clear policy and guidelines for how to put its provisions into
practice, neither Iraqi authorities nor NGOs will fully benefit
from the law”, said UNOPS Portfolio Manager for Civil Society
Mr. Adam Styp-Rekowski.
Over the course of the past months, CoMSec worked on
drafting guidelines, but during a three-day roundtable organ-
ized by the United Nations Office for Project Services
(UNOPS) and the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law
(ICNL), the stakeholders, supported by international experts,
had an additional opportunity to draft implementing regula-
tions that would reflect Iraqi needs and be in line with inter-
national best practices.
“This has been very productive” said the outgoing Chair of
the Iraqi Council of Representatives Civil Society Committee,
Ms. Alaa Talabani. “Procedures drafted by the Government
should make it easier, not harder, to implement the law and
this is what we have achieved.”
Jamal Al-Jawahiri, Public Relations and Finance Secretary of
the NGO Iraqi Al-Amal Association, concurred, adding that
“for me as a member of civil society to sit with representa-
tives of the Government and Parliament, and to be accepted
as an equal in these discussions is a great achievement. The
roundtable has brought us closer and listening to each other
as well as to international, regional and KRG experts has en-
abled us to meet half way and agree on a number of impor-
tant issues.”
The recommendations agreed on by the participants will be
used by CoMSec to finalise the draft regulations.
“With consensus on the practical issues, we will soon be able
to look beyond the law and see how we can support civil soci-
ety further”, concluded Ms. Alaa Talabani.
„
Workshop Conclusions
Twenty-six government officials and civil soci-
ety leaders met in Erbil, Iraq from 2 – 4 July
2010 to discuss the proposed Implementing
Regulation to the Law on Non-Governmental
Organizations (Law 12 of 2010). Workshop
participants agreed to issue the recommenda-
tions, regarding (summary):
Registration of new NGOs and re-registration
of existing NGOs where among others it was
recommended to simplify and organize the reg-
istration procedures ensuring that provisions of
Law no. 12 can be fully implemented. On NGO
reporting requirements, participants recom-
mended reporting deadlines, creation of model
reports and setting up rules on enforcement of
submission of reports. Participants agreed that
merger applications should be subject to the
same process as that for registering a new
NGO. Clear and fair guidelines, procedures
and criteria for awarding public benefit status
should be established.
It was also agreed that NGOs implementing
small-fund projects should be treated with the
same mechanisms and procedures that are
used with other organizations. Participants de-
veloped practical recommendation on the way
the NGOs Directorate should communicate with
NGOs and recommended that branches are
open in all Iraqi governorates. It was also rec-
ommended that structural and staff develop-
ment of the NGOs Directorate is supported.
Lastly, it was agreed that when an NGO is reg-
istered with the NGOs Directorate, the NGOs
registration office in the region (ex. Kurdistan
Region) shall be notified of this registration and
vice versa.

Iraq Celebrates First National Vaccination
Week: Call for New Vaccines
From 24 - 30 April, Iraq launched its first National
Vaccination Week (NVW) focusing on vaccination as a
key investment for a better life and the crucial re-
sponsibility the family and community have in provid-
ing protection against diseases.
Since 2004, the UNDG ITF has provided finances for a
number joint programs with UNICEF and WHO in sup-
port of vaccination activities. For example in 2006, a
$2.6 million program was approved to Strengthen
Immunization Services in Iraq. In 2007 another $6.2
million was allocated to Disease Eradication and
Elimination and Introducing New Vaccines. In the
same month $1.4 million was approved to Support to
the Government of Iraq‟s Nation Measles and Polio
Campaign.
The objective of the NVW was to improve communi-
cation and dissemination of knowledge on the value
of immunization, increase community demand for im-
munization and use a combination of innovative ap-
proaches and solutions to improve access to immuni-
zation in Iraq.
“Vaccines have the power not only to save, but also
to transform lives, giving children a chance to grow
up healthy, go to school, and improve their life pros-
pects", said Dr. Saleh Al Hasnawi, Iraq‟s Health Minis-
ter. “Building public understanding of the benefits of
immunization and appreciation of its value is our
main objective”, he added.
‘ During the NVW, Departments of Health in all 18
Iraqi governorates were joined by hundreds of
communities to carry out a variety of awareness
and health education activities, especially in low
immunization coverage areas. Activities were de-
signed to inform parents, caregivers and health
care providers of the benefits and importance of
routine childhood vaccinations. They included me-
dia events, work-shops, training sessions, commu-
nity mobilization initiatives, round table discus-
sions and exhibitions addressing a wide range of
vaccine-related issues.
“Child survival lies at the heart of everything we
do. Every effort should be made now to administer
new vaccines to all children across Iraq, especially
those living in low coverage areas” said Sikander
Khan, UNICEF Representative in Iraq. “This will
contribute to achieving universal 100%vaccination
coverage which is critical to realizing the millen-
nium development goal of halving child mortality
from 41 child deaths out of 1,000 live births before
the age of five to 21 by 2015, saving about
100,000 Iraqi children‟s lives in the process.”
WHO and UNICEF took the opportunity of the NVW
to commend the courage and unflagging determi-
nation of Iraq‟s health authorities and staff, par-
ents and communities to make immunization in
the country a successful undertaking despite the
immense challenges Iraq has faced due to extreme
violence, sanctions, and war during the past three
decades.
Keeping Iraq free of vaccine-preventable diseases
is testament to Iraq‟s commitment to ensure every
child and mother‟s right to health.
Maintaining a polio-free status since 2000, the im-
provement of immunization rates with four in five
children receiving all recommended vaccinations
by the age of 12 months, the increasing coverage
of infant measles vaccinations which jumped from
70% in 2007 to 88% in 2008 and to above 90% in
2009, the eradication of smallpox in 1978, and
utilizing the national immunization programme as
a platform to provide other life-saving health inter-
ventions such as vitamin A supplements, are mile-
stones in Iraq‟s national immunization efforts.
