The evaluation of the United Nations Human Settlements (UN-Habitat) Iraq Urban Programme from 2004 to date was initiated by UN-Habitat to provide its governing bodies, staff, donors, government counterparts and development partners with a forward-looking assessment of UN-Habitat’s operational experience, achievements and challenges in the country.

Since 2004, the United Nations Development Group under the Multi-Donor Trust Fund in Iraq has become the largest post-war single programme––in size and scope––worth USD 1.6 billion and implemented by 17 United Nations resident and four non-resident agencies. UN-Habitat’s country operations in Iraq account for 22 projects implemented as joint programmes with a number of United Nations and other partners. Under the United Nations Multi-Donor Trust Fund, the UN-Habitat cumulative portfolio since 2004 has reached about USD 89.8 million or 6.6 per cent of the USD 1.37 billion budget for Iraq.
