HCFC phase-out management plan (Stage II) The Government of Iraq will freeze its consumption of HCFCs by 1 January 2013 at the level of 1,858.18 mt (102.2 ODP tonnes) and gradually reduce it from the baseline data to meet a 13.82 per cent reduction in 2015. The overarching strategy of Iraq has been based on consumption reductions in the servicing sector through the enforcement of regulatory measures, recovery/recycling, and better practices to reach the set 2015 compliance target.
National Phase-Out Plan Overarching StrategyIraq proposes to include the 10% reduction in 2015 for the first phase strategy. Iraq commits to the following control measures with the support of funding and technical assistance from the Multilateral Fund and implementing agencies:(i) Freeze the consumption of HCFCs in 2013 to the agreed baseline figure.(ii) Reduce consumption of HCFCs by 10% from 2015 The overarching strategy that Iraq expects to implement is based on the assumption that new commercially viable refrigeration and, in particular, air-conditioning technologies that use zero ODP and low GWP refrigerants in energy efficient equipment will become available in the coming decade. The strategy will be a dynamic one, with changes and fine tuning being done as the circumstances require.

PROMOTION OF MICRO-INDUSTRIES FOR ACCELERATED AND SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD RECOVERY - NINEWA GOVERNORATE OF IRAQ
Institutional support and skills development for a dam safety programme to enable sustainable management of hydraulic infrastructure in Iraq Iraq#s prosperity and stability largely depend on the sustainable management of its water infrastructure network, which mainly relies on the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.  The Mosul Dam, on the Tigris River, is the largest dam in Iraq, and one of the largest dams in the Middle East. Managing the Mosul Dam in a sustainable manner is key for three major reasons: i) to cope with the rising energy demand necessary for industrial development and population growth; ii) to provide downstream irrigation in the Ninewa basin, whose population#s largely depend on agriculture; and iii) to mitigate the increasing risk of floods due to the dam#s instability. The Mosul Dam has structural instability problems due to the geology of the site. The Mosul Dam#s infrastructure has seriously deteriorated over the past years due to poor maintenance and the recent conflict in the region.  The proposed UNIDO-led intervention aims at supporting Iraqi authorities to safely manage the Mosul Dam and, in the long-term, to efficiently and safely manage the Iraqi national hydraulic infrastructure. This will be done through an integrated skills development and technology transfer programme, designed to strengthen governmental ca pacities.  Once trained, Iraqi operators, technicians and decision makers will be able to take informed-decisions and
Creating employment and improving food security for Syrian refugees, Iraqi internally displaced persons, returnees and host communities in Northern Iraq The main goal of the proposed project is to create employment and income opportunities, and improve food security of the Syrian refugees, Iraqi IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons), returnees, and their host communities, which will lead to strengthening their self-reliance and promoting inclusive and sustainable industrial development of the region. More concretely, the proposed project will provide agro-processing and entrepreneurship training and support in establishing or scaling up agri-business and market promotion.  The intervention will develop productive and human capacities that will enhance productivity and development contributing towards inclusive and sustainable industrial development in the region, while using best practices in the harvesting, processing and packaging of agro-business.
Technical assistance for alternatives to methyl bromide The aim of this technical assistance project is to phase-out the present use of MB, transfer alternate technologies for horticulture production and fumigation of dates and to disseminate these among fruit and vegetable growers and stakeholders in the date processing industry. The overall objective of introducing cost-effective technologies is to prevent future illegal use of MB once the production of vegetables expands in response to local market demand.
Integrated stabilization, economic recovery and reconstruction support for displaced persons and returnees in Iraq The project originated from the expression of interest from the government of Iraq in the promotion of stability, economic recovery and reconstruction support for communities affected by the conflict in Iraq. The proposal is part of the JSB2016 submission.  The overarching goal of the project is to assist the government of Iraq, the host communities, internally displaced persons (IDP) and returnees that are located in Central and Northern Iraq who are affected by the ongoing conflict in the region. More specifically, the project aims at promoting stability, economic recovery and reconstruction support for communities affected by the conflict in Iraq. The project will focus on three sub sectors to achieve the above goals: (1) support to income generation activities via vocational skills training; (2) restore micro-small scale enterprises damaged during the conflict and (3) reconstruction of community infrastructure via vocational skills training.  This project is in-line with the cluster for emergency livelihoods and social cohesion and complies with the criteria for the first-line response measures.
Investment Promotion for Iraq (IPI) The project is designed to encourage investments in Iraq and supports the development of a sound private sector in Iraq. It proposes to consolidate the achievements of the existing UNIDO project #Enterprise Development and Investment Promotion for the SME sector in Iraq# as well as expand upon them using the existing infrastructure and trained personnel of the four Iraqi Enterprise Development Centres (EDCs) as a strategic entry point. Constant synergies with UNIDO project #Enterprise Development through Information <(>&<)> Communication Technology (EDICT)# will be also reaped to integrate the training module in the on-line e-learning platform established by the EDICT Project.  In the project steering committee meeting held in Rome in October 2012, it was decided that the Italian government should provide bridge funding for the year 2013-14 for continuation of EDC services in these governorates. This would allow the EDC host institutions to make arrangement to leverage funds from their respective governments for the year 2014 onwards. Soon after the October 2012 Steering Committee Meeting, the donor made available additional funding to continue supporting the four EDCs till June 2014. The EDCs of Thi Qar and Erbil will be provided with 1 year of support with cost-sharing arrangement with the objective of reachi
