The Iraqi government on Monday signed an agreement with the United Nations Development Program through the government's contribution of $ 33 million to support the activities of stabilization projects in Iraq.

The Iraqi government said in a statement that it would become one of the top 10 donors to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in stabilizing Iraq.

These projects include rehabilitation of infrastructure and provision of basic services, such as water, electricity, health care, housing and education, in the liberated and affected areas, especially in the governorates of Nineveh, Anbar, Salah al-Din, Diyala, Kirkuk and Basra, the government added.

According to the statement, this agreement reflects Iraq's commitment to the strategic partnership with the United Nations; aimed at restoring stability in the liberated areas and the return of displaced people, and the construction and rehabilitation of infrastructure in the provinces that have suffered and damaged by the circumstances that have gone through the country.

The UNDP stabilization project in Iraq, which has completed more than 2,000 stabilization projects so far, benefits more than 8 million Iraqis.

The project was launched in June 2015 at the request of the Iraqi government and with the support of the international coalition against ISIS, to support Iraq's efforts to quickly restore stability to the liberated areas, and to help displaced people return to their areas.
