Background
The UN Country Team is working on a transition programme that bridges humanitarian and stabilization activities with more long-term impact interventions. This is the Recovery and Resilience Programme (RRP). Based on a series of discussions with key interlocutors in the Government of Iraq (GOI) to identify sectors of significant importance to Iraq in shaping its post-crisis situation, the RRP covers nine inter-connected areas: Preventing Violent Extremism, Revitalizing Communities, Restoring Agriculture and Water Systems, Promoting Sustainable Returns, Decentralizing Basic Services, Supporting Survivors, Expanding Political Participation, Engaging Youth, and Promoting Community Reconciliation.
The RRP seeks to assist GOI to leverage investments in infrastructure, economic reform and reconciliation in service of social and political cohesion, improvement in quality and access to services, and broader economic and livelihood opportunities. Across all nine areas, the critical issues will be strengthening the local level of government and governance, broadening economic and livelihood opportunities with a particular focus on vulnerable families and youth.
To manage the RRP programme, a database has been created that allows for generation of reports of the RRP different projects arranged by the 9 different components.
