The Government of Iraq has invested heavily in the water; agriculture; and poverty nexus. This is largely driven by historical policies that have made the state the central manager of irrigation schemes and a significant actor in food value chains. There is a large network of at least twenty-seven government organizations; including ministries; State Owned Enterprises (SOEs); and government committees; that oversee management and administration of public support programs that cover all components of water supply; irrigation; and agri-food production. Given the complex nature of the institutions in the country and the priorities for the water-agriculture sectors; the Expression of Interest will need to include strategies to critically review the formulation and execution of the budget among a network of government agencies within the water-agriculture-poverty nexus. It will need to include a description of the data at the national; subnational; and institutional levels; that will be used to assess the overall budgeting process and system; identify inefficiencies; and suggest options for improvement; along with a reform roadmap for repurposing subsidies; with a view on social protection and climate vulnerabilities.  The objective of this activity is to improve the understanding of the composition and priorities of public expenditure across the water-agriculture-poverty nexus by the various stakeholders involved in the agriculture and water sector. This will be achieved through collection and analysis of relevant data from government accounts and budgets; analysis in conjunction with impacts on climate vulnerability of crops; water use efficiency; poverty rates; nutritional status; and other climate related environmental indicators
