This workshop will build on the outcomes of the previous two workshops on evaluating the capacity of Iraqi institutions in implementation and coordination, and on Deploying Institutional Gaps Assessment Methodology on Project Implementation and Coordination Capacities in Iraq, which brought together 24 and 26 Iraqi senior civil servants respectively.
 
The two workshops resulted in the contextualization of the gaps assessment questionnaire reflecting the institutional priorities of the Hamdanieh District/Nineveh Governorate (Iraq), in particular the reintegration of the IDPs and establishing working groups within the institutions concerned (related to the sectors of health, education, social affairs/labor and municipal affairs). The workshops also resulted in enhancing the capacities of the working groups in the collection of data and other evidence (studies, reports ….) to fill out the assessment questionnaire.
 
This workshop will analyze the results of the Institutional Gaps Assessment Methodology, which will be presented by the participants. Presenters will be mentored by the ESCWA team to ensure 1) The data gathered is evidenced based and within the Institutional Gaps Assessment framework; 2) Presenters are working as a team and their responses are based on the data and other credible sources as stipulated within the assessment framework and have been thoroughly discussed and agreed upon by all the team members (consensually); It will translate Gaps Assessments findings into an analytical report; and based on the findings and recommendations of the analytical report, develop an institutional capacity development plan; and it will lay the ground for Trainers of trainers programme.
