UNCTAD to help Iraq participate in a knowledge-based, globalized economy
The UNDG ITF is one of the two trust funds created in 2004 under the International Reconstruction Fund Facility for Iraq to help donor nations channel their resources and coordinate their support for reconstruction and development in Iraq.

A total of 25 donors and 21 participating United Nations organizations have signed a letter of agreement and memorandum of understanding, respectively, with the MDTF office.
