This event was attended by the head of the Central Bureau of Statistics, Dr. Dhiaa Awad Kazim, as well as a number of general managers, experts, professors and employees of the ministry of planning and relevant authorities. The participants stressed that achieving the well-being and decent living of the population requires a number of measures, interventions and commitments, whether in the direction of what is provided by UN organizations or national governments that seek to delight their peoples and ensure their living, economic, social and security rights. Such commitments require the preparation of plans, strategies and the formulation of relevant public and sector policies to reach at this end, so the Iraqi government seeks to draw up policies aimed at achieving comprehensive development in all sectors, including the human development sector, especially social development to accomplish the well-being of the population in Iraq.
