UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT WWW.USAID.GOV ECONOMIC GROWTH November 11, 2005 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE • Assisted the Government of Iraq to develop and submit the first filing in the WTO accession process - the Memorandum of Foreign Trade Regime. • Provided technical assistance and information on contracting opportunities for Iraqi busi- nesses and entrepreneurs through business centers. • Worked with the Ministry of Fi- nance to introduce the new Iraqi dinar. • Created more than 77,000 pub- lic works jobs through the Na- tional Employment Program. • Provided technical assistance and capacity building to three private sector banks to develop their own lending programs. • Trained over 700 Iraqis in Inter- national Accounting Practices. • Assisted in management of $21 million micro-credit program. Provided over 40,000 hours of microfinance training in 2004- 2005. • Improved statistical analysis, monetary policymaking, and bank supervision procedures at Iraq’s Central Bank; offered a two-week banking course to Central Bank staff with the Fed- eral Reserve Bank of New York. • Evaluated and updated com- mercial laws on private sector and foreign investment. • Assisted in developing the 5 percent reconstruction levy on imports; built capacity of cus- toms officials to implement levy. • Developed a government-wide IT strategy to automate plan- ning, budgeting and reporting processes across ministries. • Developing the Iraqi Investment Promotion Agency with the Gov- ernment of Iraq. USAID works with Iraqi institutions to establish an environment for sustainable economic growth. Assistance empowers policy makers to formulate and exe- cute decisions based on economic data, and to implement modern best prac- tices in economic governance. USAID projects provide a framework for pri- vate sector trade, commerce, and investment throughout Iraq. HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK Iraqi business leaders establish the Iraqi Business Association Alliance to advance private sector interests. Lead- ers from 12 business associations re- cently met to lay the foundation for the Alliance, a new organization that will pro- mote the interests of businesspeople and industrialists throughout Iraq. The Izdihar project is providing technical and funding support to developthe new business group. “The alliance enables us to work as a Leaders of 12 business associations met to organize an alliance, helping them speak with one voice on behalf of the business community. team rather than as separate organiza- tions,” said the president of one of the founding associations. “This is particu- larly important when we communicate with the government as it considers making laws and rules that can impact businesses.” Members of the new alliance have agreed to work together to serve as a strong advocate for Iraqi businesses, to lobby for government measures that will stimulate economic growth, and to educate businesses on how to fight government corruption that hinders progress and slows down the creation of new jobs. Experts from USAID’s Izdihar program briefed Civil Affairs Officers on microfinance techniques. Eleven civil affairs officers from the Multi-National Force – Iraq (MNF-I) recently received a week of briefings in microfinance techniques, an early step in the USAID-DOD partnership to expand access to business loans for start-up companies in Iraq. The partnership combines the military’s on-the-ground capabilities and local relationships in combination with USAID’s technical training and loan capital to expand the private sector and create new jobs in Iraq. In the future, these officers will employ microfinance industry strategies to identify local business associations and other organizations that will receive seed money to provide loans of $1,000 to $25,000 to their members. UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 2 AGRICULTURE November 11, 2005 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE • Wheat Seed Cleaners: 169 seed cleaners have been distributed to nine NGOs working in 18 gover- norates, and 175 people have been trained in their use. Clean- ing and treating wheat seed has the potential to increase wheat production by up to 25 percent, while also increasing the percent- age that can be used for bread making. • Water Strategy: Phase One, coordinated by the Ministry of Water Resources, has begun to develop a national water and land use strategy with participation by six ministries. Data collection and analysis will be complete within a year. • Veterinary Clinic Rehabilitation: To date, 51 veterinary clinics have been rehabilitated that serve over 130,000 farmer families. • Irrigation Infrastructure Reha- bilitation: Numerous grants have been given to increase the amount of water available to irri- gate crops by cleaning and/or renovating canals. So far, produc- tivity of nearly 870,000 farmers on 185,000 acres has been in- creased due to better availability of water. • Farm Machinery Mechanics: Fully trained 28 mechanics in farm machinery repair, and sup- plied them with tools to set up their own independent shops. • Date Palm Nurseries: Date palm nurseries established in 13 gover- norates that will produce 410,000 off shoots for new trees a year. The new trees will begin to pump millions of dollars into rural in- comes in about five years when they begin to produce. USAID’s goals are to work in conjunction with Iraqi ministries, the private sec- tor, and higher education institutions to revitalize agricultural production, stimulate income and employment generation, nurture rural development ini- tiatives, and rehabilitate the natural resource base. HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK USAID procures 240 Family Drip Kit (FDK) systems for distribution to poor families in eight governorates. Each family will receive one of the drip irrigation systems, which require no electricity or pumps and are designed to work at a very low pressure through gravity. The systems’ low operating costs, ease in operation, and low maintenance make them ideal for rural conditions and small-scale agricultural production. The FDK irrigation systems will allow each family to irrigate approximately 500 square meters of land planted with high value vegetable crops, which will pro- vide a source of food and income. The plots will serve as a demonstration of the equipment to area families, who will observe the income-generating poten- tial of using the FDK irrigation systems to cultivate high cash value crops. This demonstration and extension aspect of the project is intended to encourage widespread adoption of the FDK irrigation system technology. The project will also encourage private sector enterprise to manufacture and sell FDK irrigation systems, which will increase the availability of small-scale, affordable irrigation equipment in Iraq. FDK systems can be made inexpen- sively and will be affordable to farmers who could not otherwise acquire irriga- tion equipment. A greater availability of small-scale irrigation systems will en- able poor farmers to produce high value cash crops, increasing overall pro- duction of these crops in Iraq and increasing the income of these farmers The Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) and USAID grant program to im- prove orchards of 20 peach and 20 apple farmers. The program will also help the farmers establish a demonstration orchard planted with mod- ern technology next to their existing orchards. To date, 10 existing orchards in Dahuk and Ninewa have been improved by technicians from the Directorate of Agriculture extension centers. Area farmers are invited to observe the improvements during field days, and re- ceive hands-on training to learn how to make the improvements in their own orchards The establishment of the 40 new peach and apple orchards is also under- way, under the supervision of technical specialists. The farmers have been granted seedlings of improved peach and apple varieties that have demon- strated good production in Iraq’s northern region. Iraqi farmers can realize a 40 percent increase in peach production and a 71 percent increase in apple production through the use of improved varie- ties and cultivation techniques. The improved production will decrease im- ports of apples and peaches into Iraq, and will increase farmers’ income and encourage employment in fruit production. . UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 3 NATIONAL GOVERNANCE November 11, 2005 PROGRAM OBJECTIVES • Strengthen the capacity of the legislative branch of the Iraqi interim and transitional govern- ments and its staff during the interim and transition period to include lawmaking, representa- tion, executive oversight, and other responsibilities as pro- vided by the Transitional Admin- istrative Law. • Assist the Executive Authority, the Presidency Council, and the Council of Ministers and its pre- siding Prime Minister to develop governing processes, rules of procedure, regulations and di- rectives necessary to enforce the laws, and to implement gov- ernment programs and policies. • Support the process for adopt- ing an Iraqi constitution that promotes democratic principles and values through technical assistance that includes, but is not limited to, providing com- parative constitutional expertise; organizing constitutional confer- ences and conventions; facilitat- ing public awareness, educa- tion, and participation; and as- sisting in the conduct of a na- tional referendum or other ratify- ing mechanism. USAID continues to plan and implement a variety of programs, undertaken in partnership with Iraqi counterparts, matching the needs of the evolving Iraqi democracy. In particular, USAID is accelerating support to the Iraqi National Assembly for the upcoming elections. HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK The State University of New York Center for International Development (SUNY/ CID) continues its assistance to the Na- tional Assembly. The help includes work- ing with the Assembly’s Human Resources Department (developing forms and proce- dures) and the Clerk’s Office (developing the Mail System and Legislative Tracking databases) while preparing for future activi- ties including two different trainings on Leg- islative Protocol and Rules of Procedures. EIN’s Chairman of Board of Directors discusses EIN monitoring activities with former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi at the polling station in the Convention Center – Oct. 15, 2005. USAID partner’s election team offers as- sistance in the development of a new nationwide media monitor- ing network. Assistance included the development of various practical elements including the design of a website, a name and logo. Also re- cently conducted was a two-day training-of-trainers session designed to directly and indirectly train all those involved in the networks’ future ac- tivities. USAID partner holds consultation meetings with members of the Iraqi National Assembly. The consultation meetings with members of the Iraq National Assembly were focused as follows: • National Assembly Member and Rapporteur to the Finance Commit- tee discussed challenges faced by the Assembly while attempting to exercise oversight of the Iraqi national budget. Examined the need for the executive to plan activities and to gain a better understanding of the Assembly’s oversight role and responsibilities. In view of the Assembly’s current lack of technical expertise on budget analysis, the National Democratic Institute (NDI), a USAID partner, will offer a workshop on budget and oversight to members of the Finance Com- mittee. NDI also agreed to offer additional assistance to help As- sembly members identify tools to assert their responsibilities in de- termining the country’s budgetary priorities. • National Assembly Member and Member of the Legal Committee discussed NDI’s legislative program activities and the committee’s training and advisory needs. UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 4 EDUCATION November 11, 2005 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE • 2,717 schools have been rehabili- tated, some of which through direct contracting and grants to communities. • Hundreds of thousands of desks, chairs, cabinets, chalkboards, and more than 3 million school kits have been distributed country- wide. • 36,000 secondary school teach- ers and administrators, including 928 master trainers, have been trained. Over the next year, up to 100,000 additional teachers will receive in-service training. • Eighty-four primary and secon- dary schools (four in each gover- norate) are being established to serve as model schools. Teachers will receive six weeks of training, and schools will be equipped with computer and science laborato- ries. • More than 550 out-of-school youth completed a pilot acceler- ated learning program. An ex- panded program, targeting 11,000 out-of-school youth, will be imple- mented during the 2005–06 school year. • Satellite Internet access and com- puters were installed at the Minis- try of Education and in all 21 Di- rectorates of Education. To im- prove resource management, an Education Management Informa- tion System will be installed. • More than 8.7 million math and science textbooks have been edited, printed, and distributed throughout Iraq. • Partnerships were established between five American and 10 Iraqi universities. Through these partnerships, more than 1,500 Iraqi faculty and students have participated in workshops, train- ings, conferences, and courses in Iraq, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States. • University facilities, such as librar- ies, computer and science labora- tories, lecture halls, and buildings, have been rehabilitated at col- leges of law, engineering, medi- cine, archeology, and agriculture. In addition, books and electronic resources have been provided to university libraries. USAID’s goals are to increase enrollment, improve primary and secondary education, ensure classrooms have sufficient supplies, facilitate community involvement, train teachers, implement accelerated learning programs, and establish partnerships between U.S. and Iraqi colleges and universities. HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK USAID partners have provided intermediate level computer training courses for over 735 government staff members. Over 75 of these training courses for staff from Ministry of Education (MoE) and provincial Directorates of Education (DoE) have already been held as part of the capacity building and computer literacy project. By the end of the year, 1,000 ministry staff will have receive intermediate level computer training. Once completed, phase III of the training (an advanced course) will start. Additionally, USAID partners held a five-day training course for 11 master trainers from Arbil, Dahuk, and Sulaymaniyah, the first steps for expanding the computer literacy project into the north. The master trainers, using training manuals in Kurdish, will train 250 local MoE staff on basic computer skills over a 10-day period. Further training (intermediate and advanced level courses) will follow for the same trainees in upcoming months so that each trainee re- ceives a total of 30 days training. Manuals for the intermediate and advanced stages are currently being prepared. Over 14,000 students will be enrolled in the Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) during the 2005-06 academic year in cen- tral and southern Iraq. While rural area projects typically lack local support, espe- cially for female education, local communi- ties and the provincial DoE conveyed great enthusiasm for this project. Since the begin- ning of the academic year, the Wasit DoE has received hundreds of requests for chil- dren to join these schools. Project leaders have been approached by commu- nity leaders to open ALP schools for their people, and one of the tribe sheikhs has already given land to open an ALP classroom for his neighborhood. USAID partners have reported girls’ classrooms to be full and students happy. The program will soon be expanded to northern Iraq. Local directorates in both Arbil and Sulaymaniyah have agreed to open ALP centers for 1,000 chil- dren in each of the two governorates this month. The Kurdish versions of the textbooks have already been handed over to a printing press and are now in the process of being printed. USAID and UNICEF are continuing work to improve the water and envi- ronmental sanitation facilities in Iraqi schools. The rehabilitation of water and sanitation facilities in 368 schools has been completed, while rehabilita- tion of an additional 178 schools is ongoing and is in different stages of imple- mentation. Some 206 schools are still in the bidding process, including 13 schools that will require re-bidding. UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 5 HEALTH November 11, 2005 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE • Vaccinated over 3 million chil- dren under age 5 and 700,000 pregnant women with vaccina- tion campaigns that included monthly immunization days. • Provided supplementary doses of vitamin A for more than 600,000 children under age 2 and 1.5 million lactating moth- ers. • Provided iron folate supple- ments for over 1.6 million women of childbearing age. • Screened more than 1.3 million children under age 5 for mal- nutrition. • Distributed high protein bis- cuits to more than 450,000 children and 200,000 pregnant women and nursing mothers. • Provided potable water for 400,000 people each day in Basrah city and 170,000 peo- ple in Kirkuk and Mosul. • Provided skills training for 2,500 primary health care pro- viders and 700 physicians. • Trained 2,000 health educa- tors, teachers, religious lead- ers and youth to mobilize com- munities on hygiene, diarrhea, breastfeeding, nutrition and immunization issues. • Disseminated information on essential health messages to families around the country. • Renovated 110 primary health care centers. • Provided vaccines and cold chain equipment to selected health centers. • Developed a national plan to fortify wheat flour with iron and folic acid. When completed, this PHC will employ three doctors and 22 paramedical staff. USAID is supporting the Iraqi Ministry of Health to strengthen essential health services, improve the capacity of health personnel, and respond to the spe- cific health needs of vulnerable populations such as women and children. HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK Construction of six USAID supported Primary Health Clinics (PHCs) ongo- ing in four governorates. These PHCs are in different stages of completion varying between 70 percent and 90 per- cent. In addition, supplies have been or- dered for these PHCs and are being de- livered to Baghdad. Supplies include: vision-testing charts, floor-stand lights, examination tables, labor/delivery beds, obstetric surgical kits and Doppler Fetal heart detectors. Dissemination of Draft Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) Strategy: Consultation and Consensus Building. Following on the recent drafting of a national strategy and guidelines on infant and young child feeding for Iraq and leveraging USAID grant funds, UNICEF is assisting the Ministry of Health (MoH) to lead a series of consultative and consensus building activities around the country. Meetings will be used to discuss the draft strategy with policymakers, health professionals, and stakeholders to ensure that the strat- egy effectively responds to current needs. During November and December meetings will be carried out in six different locations around the country. The Iraqi national strategy, adapted from the Global IYCF Strategy outlined by the World Health Organization (WHO), will serve as a guide for action in the areas of feeding of infants and young children, complementary feeding, man- agement of undernourished children, reduction of micronutrient deficiencies, and approaches to addressing women’s increased nutrient needs during preg- nancy and lactation. The program builds on existing program approaches and links multiple program areas including nutrition, child health and development, maternal and reproductive health, and household food security. The strategy assigns specific roles to critical partners – including government, national and international organizations and other stakeholders – to ensure full attainment of national objectives. This is the first time in 14 years that a comprehensive strategy on IYCF has been outlined. After consultation meetings are completed during the next few months, the strategy will be finalized and endorsed by the MOH and implemented nation- wide in cooperation with other concerned ministries. Health and Communication in Post War Iraq. USAID funds supported the participation of two MoH staff from the Health Education Department Artwork Production Unit for a 30-day training course on desktop publishing and art- work design. The Health Education Department is responsible for producing Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials, TV spots, and photography for various health programs. Through this training, the depart- ment will have the in-house capacity to produce high quality desktop publish- ing and artwork design. UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 6 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE • Awarded 4,480 small grants totaling $307 million for quick impact activities that support good governance, civil society, conflict management and miti- gation, human rights and transi- tional justice. • Funded 144 grants totaling over $5 million that focus on women’s issues, including sup- porting the rehabilitation of 46 women’s centers in Iraq. Reha- bilitated over 264 Iraqi national ministries, schools, clinics and other municipal buildings. Sup- porting 65 Iraqi groups in docu- menting human rights abuses of the Ba’athist regime and pro- moting peace, tolerance, and reconciliation. • Met critical needs during and immediately after the conflict by providing short-term employ- ment, restoring basic govern- ment and community services, increasing Iraqi access to infor- mation and communication and encouraging protection of hu- man rights. Before and after the ITI road rehabilitation project. TRANSITION INITIATIVES USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI) supports the transition to a par- ticipatory, stable, and democratic country. OTI provides quick-dispensing, high-impact grants meeting critical needs—providing short-term employment, restoring basic government and community services, increasing access to in- formation and communication, and encouraging protection of human rights. HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK Iraq Transition Initiative (ITI) re- stored 5,000 meters of key roads and provided employment in a trou- bled city near Iraq’s western border. This project, developed in coordination with city and provincial councils, ad- dressed both infrastructure needs and provided temporary employment in an area suffering from a 75 percent unem- ployment rate. The ITI grant provided employment for nearly 100 workers from the city’s community. Over the course of 60 workdays, the men la- bored to restore the city’s main street and sidewalks, successfully improving access to the city center for 250,000 citizens. Both the new sources of income and the improved roads should benefit the area’s economy. Furthermore, visible accomplishments like this one can posi- tively impact a community’s trust in their local governments. Eighteen central Iraqi neighborhoods recently benefited from sewage removal campaigns supported by ITI. While the restoration of sanitary con- ditions was a tremendous improvement benefiting all community members, the temporary-employment opportunities may have had an even greater im- pact. While much of Iraq suffers from mass unemployment, each of these 18 projects employed between 30-70 men—most of them unskilled—for 90 days. Employment projects such as these help the previously-unemployed have a productive means to achieve their goals and provide for their families, reduc- ing discontent and tension community-wide. Local groups launch public service campaigns in the inner cities and suburbs throughout central Iraq. Supported by USAID, the campaigns fol- lowed ITI sewage and trash removal projects, teaching the public about the value of a clean environment. Billboards were put up in targeted neighbor- hoods with regularly rotated ads. A comic book was also created and distrib- uted to orphanages and schools. Other promotional materials included shirts, caps, and soccer uniforms, all sporting the campaigns’ logo: a wheel com- posed of people holding-hands in silhouette, symbolic of the progress possible through teamwork. These materials – in addition to the sporting events, tree-planting, and neighborhood trash-collection activities – help sustain the accomplishments of the previous sewage and garbage removal projects by inspiring pride and a sense of responsibility among neighborhood residents. November 11, 2005 UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 7 COMPLETED PROGRAMS Since the cessation of the 2003 conflict, USAID has completed its planned work at Umm Qasr Seaport, re- stored significant portions of Iraq’s telecommunications network, rebuilt three major bridges and restored the rail line connecting Umm Qasr with Basra city and points north. USAID also helped avert a humanitarian cri- sis during the conflict by providing assistance to the United Nations World Food Program. USAID advisors continue to assist with management and distribution of food rations to Iraqi citizens. SEAPORTS • The $45 million program to rehabilitate and improve management at Umm Qasr seaport was completed in June 2004. • Port reopened to commercial traffic on June 17, 2003; completed first passenger vessel test July 16, 2003. • Up to 50 ships offload at the port every month. • Completed dredging to open all 21 berths to deep-sea ships. • Applied port tariffs on June 20, 2003. • Renovated the grain-receiving facility to process 600 MT of grain an hour. • Renovated the administration building, passenger terminal, customs hall, and electrical substations.
