Programme

In Baghdad, Iraq 15 June 2026

Background and Context:
The Government of Iraq, through its National Development Plan (2024–2028), has identified the establishment of a National Public Works Programme as a vital measure to reduce poverty, enhance human development, create assets, and improve public services.
Thus, under the Building Equitable and Inclusive Transformation (BEIT) project, funded by the European Union and implemented by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in partnership with the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) and the International Trade Centre (ITC), the ILO has initiated technical cooperation to support the establishment of a National Public Works Programme. This programme is sector- focused and designed to leverage governmental investment funds to ensure sustainability of decent work opportunities while creating synergies with various social protection systems in order to advance national development and economic objectives.

During 2024 and 2025, the ILO made significant progress across several key areas: engaging relevant stakeholders through broad national policy and technical consultations to develop a comprehensive roadmap for the National Public Works Programme; establishing a governance structure, including a Steering Committee and Technical Working Group, to provide strategic and technical guidance for the programme’s design and implementation; strengthening national capacities at both technical and policymaking levels through training and study tours on international good practices and initiating the development of two operational guidelines with sectoral focus on infrastructure and green jobs.

The ILO is planning to conduct a one-day validation workshop for the Road Map Process Report, bringing together relevant stakeholders at both policymaking and technical levels. The workshop will provide a platform to present the final draft report, facilitate discussions on its key findings and recommendations, and collect feedback for validation. The process aims to strengthen government ownership, ensure alignment with national priorities and institutional frameworks, and build consensus among key stakeholders on the proposed roadmap. Furthermore, the workshop will initiate the formal process for consolidating and documenting stakeholders’ comments and recommendations, supporting the finalization of the Road Map Process Report as a critical milestone towards the launch and implementation of the National Public Works Programme.

The validation workshop aims to engage key national stakeholders in reviewing and validating the draft Road Map Process Report for the National Public Works Programme (NPWP). It will serve as a platform to strengthen government ownership, ensure alignment with national priorities, and build consensus on the proposed roadmap and next steps for implementation. It will also pave the way for:
• Present the final draft of the National Public Works Programme (NPWP) Road Map Process Report, including its key findings, recommendations, and proposed implementation pathways.
• Validate the report through structured discussions with relevant stakeholders at policymaking and technical levels, ensuring that the proposed roadmap reflects national priorities, institutional realities, and stakeholder perspectives.
• Strengthen government ownership of the NPWP by engaging the Steering Committee, Technical Working Group, and other relevant institutions in the review and validation process.
• Facilitate consensus-building among government entities, workers' and employers' organizations, and development partners on the strategic direction and key components of the NPWP.
• Collect and document technical comments, recommendations, and formal feedback to support the finalization of the Road Map Process Report.
