The project started in March 2017 with the aim of i) building capacities in the Ministry of Interior through transfer of knowledge using the South-South framework, ii) establishing an inter-sector coordinating mechanism for the wider application of e-governance in public service delivery, and iii) identification of pilot projects though which services could be delivered to the public through e-governance means.

This project is supporting efforts to promote reconciliation as a pathway towards a more non-violent, representative and resilient Iraq.
