Al-Hakim Proposes Three-Phase Government Program for Iraq


Baghdad: Ammar al-Hakim, head of the State Forces Alliance, emphasized that “the state is built on moderation and logic, and national unity preserves it.” He further suggested that the government program should be constructed in three distinct phases.



According to National Iraqi News Agency, during his speech commemorating Iraqi Martyrs’ Day, al-Hakim stated that the Iraqi populace desires a government capable of transforming electoral mandates into stability, services, employment, and economic productivity. He noted that a government’s strength is not reflected in its slogans but in its achievements, institutional harmony, adherence to the constitution, and commitment to a transparent, accountable, and evaluable program.



Al-Hakim outlined a phased approach to the government program. The first phase, “One Hundred Days,” focuses on urgent accomplishments such as addressing daily issues faced by citizens like electricity, water, unemployment, service efficiency, integrity measures, and financial expenditure prioritization. The second phase, “A Year of Reform,” aims at administrative and governance improvements, tackling bureaucracy, reforming revenue and spending systems, developing administration, and ensuring transparency in contracts and projects. The final phase, “Four Years,” is targeted at achieving sustainable developmental impact by creating jobs, attracting investment, improving infrastructure, and fostering a diversified economy.
