The “Support to the GoI in Implementing the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness” project (hereafter “The Project”) has been developed at the request of the Government of Iraq (GoI) in order to adapt and localize the Paris Declaration for Iraq following its endorsement by the GoI on 29 May 2008. The Paris Declaration is an international agreement, initially signed on 2 March 2005 by 90 countries and 26 multilateral organisations, to take far-reaching and measurable actions to reform the delivery and management of aid.

The Project will seek to maximise the potential of aid in achieving development results in Iraq through the generation of a mutually reinforcing partnership between the GoI, donors and other actors. The Project will predominantly provide upstream policy advice and capacity development support to the GoI to enhance the delivery and effectiveness of aid to Iraq structured around each of the five principles of the Paris Declaration. The main project counterparts will be the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the Ministry of Planning and Development Cooperation (MoPDC) and the Ministry of Finance (MoF)
