Regional Development and Protection Programme for refugees and host communities in the Middle East

Iraq’s infrastructure development remains focused on reconstruction and modernisation of transport, energy and utilities after years of conflict and underinvestment. Projects such as railway extension and energy system rehabilitation are intended to improve connectivity, boost trade, create jobs and diversify the economy beyond oil. Financing is a mix of international support (e.g., World Bank and JICA assistance), hydrocarbons revenues and emerging private sector involvement in infrastructure financing platforms. Key constraints include fiscal vulnerabilities, governance weaknesses, and the need to balance reconstruction priorities with sustainable long-term development objectives.

Jordan’s infrastructure development emphasises water security, renewable energy and transport improvements amid limited domestic resources and regional pressures. Investments, often supported by multilateral partners, seek to enhance grid stability, expand clean energy capacity and modernise logistics to stimulate jobs and private investment. Government reform programmes aim to unlock private sector-led growth, improve fiscal sustainability and build socio-economic resilience. Key constraints include water scarcity, fiscal pressures and the need for continued improvements in regulatory and investment governance to attract capital.
