In this direction, a new organizational model proposal is being developed under the name of ‘Investment, Monitoring, Coordination and Planning (IMCOP) Directorate’ and suggestions for legislative changes required for the implementation of the model are presented in the appendices of this study in the form of a 'Draft Law Proposal' and a 'Presidential Decree Draft Proposal'.
