Assignment: Support to the EUD intervention in the electricity sector of Iraq

The primary objective of the assignment’s is to implement the recommendations made along the “EU Strategic Approach Report” (GT056). These recommendations are aimed at effectively addressing the unique challenges and opportunities.

Upon the completion of the EU Strategic Approach Phase of the GT056 assignment, the EU TAF team of experts, operating under the directive of the European Union Delegation to Iraq (EUD-Iraq), put forth a series of recommendations aimed at building upon the foundational work accomplished through the World Bank’s advisory service focused on the “Electricity Investment Plan and Financing Strategy.” This prior initiative laid the groundwork for identifying critical areas that require attention and improvement.

The efforts of this assignment will concentrate on three pivotal areas:

• A) Investments in Infrastructure Development: This area emphasizes the need for strategic investments that enhance the physical and organizational structures necessary for the electricity sector, which are vital for fostering economic growth and stability.
• B) Power Sector Reform: Recognizing the importance of a robust and efficient power sector, this focus area seeks to implement necessary reforms that will improve operational efficiency, reliability, and sustainability within the electricity market.
• C) Improvement of the Business and Investment Environment: This component aims to create a more conducive environment for business operations and investment, thereby attracting both domestic and foreign investors and facilitating economic development.

To effectively carry out this follow-up work, the EU TAF team has delineated six key modules. These modules will serve as structured frameworks to guide the team’s actions and ensure that the strategic objectives are met in a holistic and impactful manner. Each module will address specific aspects of the overarching strategy, allowing for a targeted approach to achieving the desired outcomes in Iraq’s electricity sector.
