Baghdad, Iraq – The United Nations, in its latest report, stated that its mission in Iraq is undergoing a clear shift from its traditional focus on political aspects. This shift is toward promoting large-scale economic and social development programs. The international organization affirmed that this shift aims to support internal stability and enhance the Iraqi government’s capacity to provide essential services to its citizens, including health, education, and infrastructure.
The report indicated that this new approach reflects the UN’s recognition that sustainable development is the most effective path to achieving stability. This is all in addition to its ongoing political and diplomatic efforts to resolve conflicts and strengthen state institutions. The report also emphasized the importance of engaging local civil society in development programs to ensure that support reaches the most vulnerable groups and has a tangible impact on the daily lives of Iraqis.
