Acknowledgements

The Independent Evaluation Office of UNDP would like to thank all those who contributed to this Assessment of Development Results (ADR) in Iraq. The evaluation team, led by Masahiro Igarashi and Vijayalakshmi Vadivelu from the Independent Evaluation Office, consisted of Jim Freedmen, David Gairdner, Abbas Balasem and Riadh Al-Allaf. Jim Freedmen and Abbas Balasem assessed the outcomes areas (strengthened participatory mechanisms, enhanced rule of law, and accountable and transparent governance) and David Gairdner and Riadh Al-Allaf assessed support to pro-poor strategies and enabling policy frameworks for economic recovery. Their collective expertise and contribution to the conduct of the evaluation and preparation of the ADR were extremely valuable to this evaluation. We wish to also thank Abbas Balasem for reviewing the Arabic version of the report.
