Deadline: 4-Apr-21
UN-Habitat has launched a call for proposals for the socio-economic assessment in a neighbourhood targeted for intervention in the cities of Telafar and Baiji and organising the participatory design of public open spaces in the cities of Telafar and Baiji, Iraq.
The EU-funded programme titled “Supporting Recovery and Stability through Local Development in Iraq” aims to assist the Government of Iraq (Gol) to restore the legitimacy of the country’s institutions and to renew the social contract between citizens and state in a context of fractured and sectarian governance. The strengthening of local governments’ functions and services is key to unlocking the blockages of the current post-conflict scenario and the unmet citizen grievances that could contribute to destabilising the country. Local authorities require further support not only to improve building standards and upgrade infrastructure but also to concretely address economic revitalization, enhanced resilience and improved quality of life of citizens — particularly the most vulnerable.
The overall goal of the intervention is to contribute to the stability and socio-economic development of Iraq by enhancing democratic governance at the local level.
