Abstract: In the literature on the construction industry, program management comprises related projects coordinated and managed to implement construction projects that have the same objectives, and would be feasible if handled separately, and are useful for all stakeholders in the construction sector. The emphasis of this research is on exploring and identifying the characteristics crucial to and the relative significance of Critical Success Factors (CSF) in Iraq's Regional Development Programs (RDPs) in order to manage these programs with high efficiency and accuracy, to determine whether the program's projects have been completed satisfactorily. Consequently, to conduct this study, the initial literature review pertaining to research keywords (Program management, Critical Success Factor, Success Program) to a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. Subsequently, a conceptual framework encompassing all facets of program management success factors is proffered. To evaluate the actuality of RDPs in Iraqi provinces and to determine the degree to which their advantages and aims have been attained, a list of 29 CSFs has been chosen based on the experts' opinions from nine international studies selected from the SLR approach. Conclusion: The results indicated that the selected critical success factors in RDPs are categorized and organized into four categories: program planning, strategy of the organization, stakeholders, and construction program performance.
