The Law of Decentralization and Its Impact on Construction Projects

Decentralization is a democratic practice in which the Government allows ministries, governorates and districts to delegate their powers within the law. This is done in two parts: the first is the decentralization of the operational budget and the second the decentralization of the investment budget. This study aims to draw up a strategy and plan for decentralization in the governorates after the transfer of powers from the ministries. The researcher seeks to discover the success or failure of applying this idea and the importance of modern construction projects in the study of decentralization in these ministries in selected governorates. Transfer of powers This research is very important through the selection and timing, and is important in that this study is the first to target the impact of decentralization on the performance of construction projects. Despite the existence of previous studies and research on administrative decentralization, it did not address the impact of decentralization and its role in the process of implementation and completion of projects. The research methodology was divided into two parts, theoretical work and fieldwork. The researcher concluded that there is a need for decentralization in particularly in the governorates far from the central government. However, these conditions are subject to limitations and restrictions. They can only be applied after studying the presence of human cadres and providing expertise that deals with post-transfer jobs. The absence of Iraqi government legislation in this area and even if we assume there are laws, they have not been applied so far about the system of decentralization in Iraq in its entirety.
