OVERVIEW

The Iraq Development Management System (IDMS) is an automated information management system which is designed to improve efficiency and coordination of donor activities in Iraq. It is also a powerful tool for tracking and analyzing aid flows. The system serves as the main database and data collection and reporting system as it ensures effective access to the aid data.

The main objectives of the IDMS is to serve as a reliable and credible source of information on overall donor contributions to Iraq’s reconstruction, economic recovery and socio-economic development, as well as to support the Government in effectively managing development assistance and promoting the accountable and transparent use of resources.  

The IDMS is a powerful tool to view project data organized into lists, reports, charts, and maps, present the project data in the form a list, chart and map reports, memorize/save the reports, print them, and export them into PDF, MS Word and MS Excel format files.

The IDMS is designed to provide quick access to the project and aid data remotely via Internet. Once you have accessed the application, you can view the project data stored in the database, add new projects, edit existing ones, etc.

In the current design, the IDMS consists of four applications, which are:

• External Assistance Projects - this application is designed to track the ongoing projects that are financed from external sources, e.g. donor community, International NGOs, etc. Once you have accessed this application, you are able to view project details, track aid flows to the country, and create analytical reports in the forms of Lists, Charts, and Maps. Moreover, in this application you can add new projects or modify the information of existing projects through the built-in Online Data Entry Module.

• Donor Profile - this application is designed to track the donor profile information. Moreover, it gives the donor organizations / entities the possibility to provide information about the amount of assistance provided to the country, etc. This is done in the built-in Online Data Entry Module. Also, you are able to create analytical reports in the forms of Lists and Charts.

• Capital Investment Projects - this application is designed to track the public investment projects that have been approved for the implementation and the projects that are currently being implemented. These projects comprise the Public Investment Portfolio and are financed out of the national budget. Once you have accessed this application, you are able to view project details and create analytical reports in the forms of Lists, Charts, and Maps. Additionally, in this application you can add new projects or modify the information of existing projects, which is done in the built-in Online Data Entry Module.

• Iraq Development Projects - this application is designed to consolidate the data from the two applications: External Assistance Projects and Capital Investment Projects.
