Iraq Reconstruction Management Office(IRMO)
Iraq Reconstruction Management Office(IRMO) Master Plan.
There have been many attempts and many plans made in the past to improve the lives of the people of the Iraq Region. Sadly, each ended with very little to show for the time and resources spent. Therefore it is understandable that the people of the Iraq Region are quite disillusioned with ‘plans’ at this time. The disenchantment of the people not withstanding, it must be stated that the Iraq Region Master Plan is different in its goals, focus and approach, and will not suffer the fate of the others before it.
The Master Plan is basically conceived as a tool that the millions of people of the Iraq Region can use to actualize their common vision and build their future to the standard they desire. The Master Plan is designed to offer stakeholders at all levels (individual, group and community) the opportunity to participate fully in the planning and decision making process. . specifically, the coordinating consultants require the ideas and opinions of stakeholders as basis for defining focus areas for development and for producing a vivid picture of what the people want the Iraq Region to look like within 15 years of the master plan implementation.. This implies that the input of stakeholders today is what will determine the state of affairs (both for individuals and communities) in the region tomorrow.
