Providing a decent life for the Peshmerga and other security forces has always been a top concern for the PUK. Additionally, maintaining political and social stability in the Kurdistan Region is a crucial foundation for the viability of the democratic system. The reorganisation of the Kurdistan Peshmerga forces and the global coalition's motion to consolidate the Peshmerga under a unified national army have become the prerequisites for engaging with and equipping that force. Hence, the PUK has devised a comprehensive and well-rounded programme encompassing all aspects associated with the Peshmerga and security forces. Our programme for this sector includes:

1. Reviewing and revising the laws pertaining to the Peshmerga, with the aim of guaranteeing a higher quality of life for the Peshmerga, veterans, disabled Peshmergas, and the families of martyrs.

2- Aligning the salaries, benefits, and other rightful entitlements of the Peshmerga and Peshmerga retirees with those of the federal military personnel.

3. Allocation of residential land to the Peshmerga and providing them with housing advances.

4. Providing assistance to the descendants of the Peshmerga and all security personnel.

5- Providing free medical care to the Peshmergas and their families in public hospitals and offering assistance for treatment in private hospitals and overseas if necessary.

6. Protecting and promoting the principle of the rule of law (the independence of the judiciary) from any form of interference.

7. Unifying and coordinating all Peshmerga forces under the oversight of the Ministry of Peshmerga through compromise, balance, and partnership.

8. Implementing institutional reforms in the Ministry of Peshmerga in line with contemporary military scientific methodologies and the reform law of the coalition.

9. Coordinating a yearly honorary event for individuals who diligently and effectively serve to uphold security and stability, as well as safeguard the lives and property of citizens.

10. Our objective is to mitigate tensions in the border regions and restore normalcy to the lives of the people residing in those areas.

11. Prioritising the enhancement of the Kurdistan Peshmerga, internal forces, security, and traffic forces through the provision of necessary resources and the improvement of their capabilities.

12. Enhancing the capacities of military colleges in the Kurdistan Region.

13. Enhancing relations between the Peshmerga forces and Iraqi forces and implementing more effective coordination to bridge the existing gap between the two.

14. Ensuring balance and synchronisation in the development and execution of security policy across all security and intelligence institutions in the Kurdistan Region.
