The grant helped with the integration of economic inclusion into the national agenda in Iraq, advancing economic inclusion programming in the country. In close collaboration with the government, the World Bank team designed Iraq’s first economic inclusion pilot. Grant activities enabled knowledge-sharing and the production of studies to inform the design of the pilot intervention, including a stocktaking of best practices on economic inclusion. The grant helped produce a local assessment and stakeholders mapping to inform the intervention rollout, and the development of an impact evaluation proposal.
