Within the framework of the Capacity Building of the Iraqi Public Sector Management Project for Iraq, ESCWA and UNDP- Iraq strive to enhance the capacities of the National Center for Consultancy and Management Development (NCCMD), part of the Ministry of Planning and Development Cooperation in Iraq.
The Project seeks to enhance NCCMD's capacities to embody a model in institutional capacity building and implement strategies for management development of the Iraqi public sector institutions, in the prospect of contributing to the establishment of an effective, efficient, responsive and transparent public sector, thus engaging an internal public sector reform process in Iraq.
Within this vision, the Project is expected to organize study tours to reputable regional and international training centers with the aim of facilitating the transfer of modern training techniques and methodologies relevant to the NCCMD consultancy and training activities.  UNDP and ESCWA have identified the ITCILO-Turin as one of the institutions to host the study tour and provide NCCMD personnel with the opportunity to exchange experiences and gain expertise from renowned experts and practitioners in the training field.
