Urban Planning and Urban Governance Iraq 2013

In 2013, The Hague Academy gave a two-week training on ‘urban planning and urban governance’ for the technical staff from various ministries and departments and representatives of local communities in Iraq. 

Objectives

  • To increase the knowledge and capacity of participants about the concepts of decentralisation in post-conflict communities;
  • To increase the knowledge and capacity of participants about the implementation tools and strategies of effective decentralisation including political and administrative; and
  • To expose participants to concrete examples from developing countries with an experience similar to Iraq on how to create possibilities for greater economic growth that is more inclusive and comprehensive by addressing development from the bottom up.

Activities

10 days of training were conducted for the technical staff from various ministries and departments and representatives of local communities in Iraq on four topics: 

Political decentralisation and the legal framework, including the importance of the clear assignment of responsibilities among central authorities and local governorates and dispute resolution mechanisms. 

Effective strategies for fiscal decentralisation and management of local budgets, including the need to develop local fiscal power, through the development of own-source revenues, shared revenues and intergovernmental transfers.

The implementation structure for better service delivery, addressing the importance of assignment distribution for service provision between different levels of government as well as the importance of providing adequate financial provision for particular levels of government.

Citizens’ involvement in the democratic process.
