🔴Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of working in Iraq across multiple sectors, implementing numerous projects in partnership with a wide range of international donors.
🔴This long-term engagement has allowed me to witness, firsthand, both the depth of Iraq’s challenges and the resilience of its institutions, professionals, and communities.
🔴Against this backdrop, the newly published Iraq Human Development Index is particularly significant. 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞, 𝐈𝐫𝐚𝐪’𝐬 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐱 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭” 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐲.

🔴This milestone is not incidental; it reflects sustained efforts in recovery, service delivery, capacity building, and human capital development, often under extremely difficult circumstances.

🔴While much remains to be done, this achievement deserves recognition.
I remain fully engaged in Iraq, convinced that smart development investments and strong partnerships can translate progress into lasting, inclusive outcomes.
