UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT WWW.USAID.GOV ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE September 30, 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 USAID’s Izdihar Project Trains 22 Iraqi Bankers in Credit Analysis. The Izdihar project recently conducted managerial accounting and credit analysis training in Amman, Jordan, for 22 Iraqi bank lending officers. The training program tripled the number of Iraqi private banks that are now participating in Izdihar’s lending program, which encourages a new business loan to be based on an analysis of a firm’s cash flow rather than the value of collateral the business pledges. Izdihar is working with the six private banks in the program to make credit available to a larger pool of businesses in order to more rapidly expand the private sector and generate long-term jobs in Iraq. USAID Helps Create One-Stop-Shop for Business Development in Iraq. The Ministery of Finance (MoF) approved a working group and a steering committee to guide the implementation of Iraq’s new automated financial ac- counting system. The Iraqi Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) will transform Iraq’s current paper-based accounting mechanisms to an auto- mated system which promotes transparency and efficiency. Forty seven of the 56 IFMIS computer sites are installed in Iraqi ministries, trial runs are at vari- ous stages, 13 units have begun live data entry, and 29 sites are entering his- torical trial balance data. The MoF also approved the implementation of IFMIS Phase II training and site activation, which will be critical in providing the Iraqi government a transparent budget execution system and will permit the Government of Iraq to control ex- penditures and produce timely, accurate, and comprehensive financial re- ports. This integrated automated financial system will give Iraq’s MoF real- time reporting and management of cash expenditures across spending agen- cies. It will also provide modern control and management of cash resources, accounting processes and budget execution, in accordance with the Financial Management Law and international best practices. Building Better Bookkeepers. After years of isolation, the first modern Eng- lish language business books recently have been delivered to five Baghdad area learning resource centers. Each shipment included more than 100 books covering accounting, marketing, leadership, auditing, economics and law. It is all part of the Izdihar project to promote development of Iraq’s pri- vate sector. The books reflect the requirements of the UN Conference on Trade & Development Global Curriculum for Accountants and will ensure that bookkeepers in Iraq are trained using the same standards as their colleagues throughout the world. UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 2 AGRICULTURE September 30, 2005 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE • Summer and Winter Crop Technology Demonstrations: These demonstrations are intro- ducing farmers to new technolo- gies and techniques through extension field days. • Animal Health: Several veteri- nary clinics in Kirkuk, Fallujah, and other cities are being reno- vated and a grant has been made for dipping tanks to im- prove sheep health and wool. • Technology Support: The Min- istry of Agriculture and a major university’s schools of Agricul- ture and Veterinary Science have been awarded grants to furnish and equip computer centers, improving research capabilities and consulting ca- pacity. • Date Palm Propagation: In collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, 40,000 elite date palm offshoots are being used to establish mother orchards in 13 governorates as part of a multiplication program and the establishment of a national reg- ister of elite varieties. • Agriculture Sector Transition Plan: This plan, completed in April 2004, addresses the short- term recovery of agricultural infrastructure as well as me- dium- and long-term implemen- tation of policies to develop a market-based agricultural econ- omy. 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 initiatives, and rehabilitate the natural resource base. HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK Agro-meteorological Network assessment underway. The collection of data on weather and climate factors that affect agricultural production is im- portant in order to inform agricultural planning decisions such as scheduling irrigation, determining crop water requirements, and increasing overall water management efficiency. These types of data—including maximum and mini- mum air temperature, relative humidity, vapor pressure, precipitation, sun- shine duration, solar radiation, wind speed and direction, pan evaporation, soil temperature at different depths, and sky cloud cover—are collected by weather stations. Together these data comprise an agro-meteorological net- work. The Agriculture Reconstruction and Development Program for Iraq (ARDI) is working with the Ministries of Agriculture and Transport to design a new agro-meteorological network for Iraq. ARDI staff are currently assessing the status of each of the approximately 100 existing weather stations, maintained by the Ministry of Transport (MOT), to determine what types of stations are in use (rainfall, ordinary or automatic), what kinds of data they collect, and if any repairs are necessary. The existing stations will become part of the new agro-meteorological net- work. ARDI will provide additional stations with the capability to collect a wide range of data on climate and weather factors that affect agricultural produc- tion, and train Ministries staffs in the installation and operation of the stations and use of the new network. When the new network is complete, the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) will have access to data that will enable more precise agricultural planning, espe- cially with respect to irrigation; this will allow the ministry to plan more efficient irrigation scheduling based upon local climatic conditions, and to advise farm- ers on more efficient water management strategies. Specialized agricultural mapping in Iraq will create models indicating land suitability for crops in the different agro-ecological zones. The Na- tional Program for Agro-Ecological Zone (AEZ) Mapping will create models by combining satellite imagery with soil, climate, socio-economic, and other data. The MOA will use the models to determine the best use of agricultural land, including which crops are most appropriate in the different regions. With this information the MOA will be able to assist farmers to maximize agricultural production and income. The MOA and ARDI will collect the relevant data from villages in the pilot sites, including socio-economic data. Socio-economic data is important to AEZ models because new or improved land use can succeed only if it is adapted to fit local social and economic conditions. By taking this data into account, the MOA will be able to determine the most efficient use of agricul- tural land and implement land use recommendations that will work under the current socio-economic conditions. With more specific knowledge of appropri- ate crops and cultivation practices, farmers will increase production and in- come. UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 3 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. NATIONAL GOVERNANCE 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 referendum and elections. HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK Attention shifts to analysis of the constitution following its submission. The main focus of these analyses regards the numerous legal implications of its application within Iraq’s existing legal framework. The legal analysis of the constitution is aimed at providing advice to Iraqi lawmakers on laws which might subsequently need to be amended, repealed or replaced based on the implications of various articles of the constitution. If the constitution is ap- proved in October, the new Members of Parliament elected in December will be able to use these analyses to help quickly identify priority laws. USAID partners meet with members of the Iraqi National Assembly to discuss new sets of training needs and future parliamentary programs. Meetings were conducted in the following areas: • Constitutional outreach programs; • Strengthening of the Finance Committee’s oversight functions on budget and financial policies of the Executive and trainings for members of the Finance Committee. Assembly members suggested the addition of hands- on trainings on financial policy and strategy development using case stud- ies relevant to the Iraqi model and information on a variety of issues, in- cluding: principle state financial organizations, the relationship between these organizations and Parliament, and oversight methodology (including anti-corruption agencies and state audits); • Post-constitution legislative developments and steps to be taken for the rehabilitation of victims of the former regime; • Suggested topics for workshops, including more training on subjects re- lated to the constitution (history, types of constitutions, federalism, etc.), legislation development and media relations; • Expected voting mechanisms and procedures following the approval of the new electoral law. Also suggested were trainings on policy development, especially for members of committees on health, education and social is- sues. Constitution Awareness Program ready to be launched. Ahead of the pro- gram’s official launch on September 18, USAID partners and their 250 Iraqi NGO associates worked on final implementation details, including printing 100,000 copies of Guide to the Constitution in Arabic and Kurdish. The docu- ment offers a detailed explanation of each article of the constitution using sim- ple and accessible language. In all of the 6,000 constitution awareness ses- sions expected to take place throughout Iraq leading up to the Oct.15 referen- dum, facilitators will be using simplified handouts on the content of the consti- tution. The guides will be distributed at the end of each session, offering a more complete and in-depth explanation of each article. A 10-question survey will also be given to each of the expected 100,000 participants. The survey will obtain the opinions of Iraqis on key constitutional issues, such as the role of Islam, federalism, rights of women, the identity of Iraq and the management of natural resources. September 30, 2005 UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 4 HEALTH September 30, 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. 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 Wheat flour mills receive 164 metric tons of iron and folic acid supple- ments as well as 215 feeders. Working with the Ministry of Health (MOH), UNICEF and USAID have begun procuring 164 metric tons of Premix, an iron and folic acid supplement for enriching wheat flour in mills throughout the country. The feeders, key equipment procured in large part through USAID support, will allow the Iraqi mills to enrich wheat flour with iron and folic acid. The technical team and staff from the Ministry of Trade previously received training on the installation, operation, and maintenance of these feeders, and will support the final installation process. National wheat flour fortification with iron and folic acid supplements will help address iron deficiency anemia in mothers and children. Anemia from inade- quate iron intake, most prevalent in women and children, is a major problem in Iraq and throughout the Middle East. Childhood anemia impairs both physical and mental development; anemia in pregnancy contributes to maternal mortal- ity and neural tube birth defects, such as spina bifida and anencephaly. The MOH convened a six-day workshop to begin developing a national Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) Strategy. Supported by UNICEF, the World Health Organization (WHO), and USAID, the IYCF strategy will serve as a practical instrument to protect, promote, and support the safe and adequate feeding for young children and their mothers. The IYCF strategy concentrates on the roles of critical partners – government, national and inter- national organizations and other concerned parties – and assigns specific re- sponsibilities for each, linking program areas of nutrition, child and maternal health, and household food security. Over the next three months the draft strategy will be presented to Iraqis for review through three regional work- shops. This is the first time in over 14 years that a comprehensive strategy on IYCF was developed through a participatory process. The strategy will be used to produce the final MoH work plan for reducing child and mother morbidity and mortality on a national level. Managers of the Iraqi National AIDS Program (NAP) met with the Jorda- nian Ministry of Health as part of a regional study tour. Coordinated by the Iraqi MOH and UNICEF, the six-day tour allowed host officials to share their best practices, lessons learned, and experiences in HIV/AIDS program- ming. The tour included a review of testing and counselling services, project site management, peer education programs, and the necessary care, treat- ment, and support programs for AIDS patients. From this information and ex- perience, the Iraqi NAP managers will be better able to identify issues and op- portunities to strengthen their own capacities. A second study tour, in Iran, is scheduled for early October. UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 5 September 30, 2005 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE • Awarded 4,445 small grants totaling $306 million for quick impact activities that support good governance, civil society, conflict management and miti- gation, human rights and transi- tional justice. • Funded 143 grants totaling over $5.1 million that focus on women’s issues, including sup- porting the rehabilitation of 40 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. 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 Six neighborhoods in southern Iraq obtained a series of Iraq Transition Initiative (ITI) grants to provide short-term employment through neighborhood clean-up projects. Each neighborhood saw between 80 and 110 of its residents employed for 60 days, benefiting 570 local families. Most of the jobs went to unskilled laborers, although engineers and supervisors were also employed to help organize the efforts. The grant provided shovels, wheel barrows, and other tools as well as heavy equipment such as bulldoz- ers, tractors, and water tankers. The town’s 40,000 people are generally poor and many are unemployed. The neighborhoods have suffered over the past decade from a lack of commercial opportunity, and the town’s basic infrastructure has degraded while trash col- lection has become inconsistent at best. The neighborhood clean-up projects improved local sanitation levels. Film makers, supported through an ITI grant, have produced a movie on ethnic tolerance and respect. The movie tells the story of two families, Arab and Kurdish, finding a way to overcome generations of mutual violence and live peacefully as neighbors. The ITI grant provided a camera, sound system, and computer equipment. The film has been distributed on compact disc to media outlets throughout the country, as well as to human rights and civil soci- ety organizations. In addition to supporting the production of the film, the grant has helped build the capacity of a local NGO supporting Iraqi film makers and the development of an independent media in Iraq. In south-central Iraq, a girl’s orphanage was rehabilitated by an ITI grant. Once one of the only places in the area for orphaned and abandoned girls, the 150 residents were ejected during the 2003 conflict. The orphanage has re- mained uninhabitable. The ITI grant provided for the repair of floors and walls, as well as the installation of doors, lights, electrical lines, plumbing lines, and tiles. The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, which regained control of the building and oversaw its rehabilitation, can now provide much-needed care to the orphans inside the structure. Reopening the orphanage is part of larger efforts to restore stability to the city. Three hundred Arab and Kurdish artists participated in a two-day art fes- tival in central Iraq, supported by an ITI grant. The festival, held in a public garden, emphasized using depictions of nature to help express Iraq’s unity. Upon arriving, each artist was given a bag which contained oil colors, brushes, an easel, a pallet, and a towel, all supplied by the ITI grant. At the end of the day the paintings were judged by a famous Iraqi painter, a high- ranking official at a fine arts institute, and a professor of painting techniques from a fine arts college. An art exhibition was held on the second day in con- junction with lectures on art’s role in daily life and the direction of contempo- rary art. The two-day event was covered by eight television channels, local and satellite stations, as well as three newspapers. Such extensive coverage helps spread the festival’s message of beauty in diversity. UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 6 September 30, 2005 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE • Rehabilitated 105 water treat- ment units and 396 kilometers of water networks to ensure the provision of potable water in critical areas. • Rehabilitated 72 health facilities and re-equipped 238 to improve the quality of health care. • Vaccinated over 3,000 women and children against measles. • Registered internally displaced persons and provided them with water, blankets, medical kits, and hygiene kits. • Rehabilitated a water treatment plant in a poor area of Baghdad. The rehab is benefiting 1 million residents. DISASTER ASSISTANCE In the first year, USAID’s humanitarian assistance focused on emergency in- terventions to prevent food and water shortages and provide adequate shelter and medical supplies throughout Iraq. USAID is now directing humanitarian assistance efforts through the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) to specifically target Iraq’s internally displaced persons (IDPs). HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK OFDA partners are building a two room extension to a local health cen- ter in the Dahuk governorate. The health center provides emergency and pregnancy care to 600 fami- lies. Through this project the health staff in the facility will be able to provide better ser- vice to their patients, many of whom are recent returnees to the area. Partners have com- pleted building the structure and made most of the exter- nal repairs. Local health cen- ters play a vital role in the Da- huk governorate, serving resi- dents and vulnerable popula- tions over a large area. OFDA partners are installing a booster station to improve local water ac- cess in the Dahuk and Ninewa governorates. The project, working in coor- dination with the Mosul Department of Water and local NGOs, will increase the flow of water from the Mosul Dam to supply six villages in the area, in- creasing the availability of water for 9,600 people. Currently, local residents have had little regular supply of clean water. A month-long cash-for-work program helped clean and renovate a vil- lage while creating 690 working days for local laborers. Located in the At’ Tamim governorate, the village has suffered from a lack of economic opportu- nity and community services. The return of 320 people (52 families) since the end of the 2003 conflict has added further strain to local ser- vices. The project, organized by OFDA partners, cleaned gar- bage from the village and built a drainage for a local stream that floods during winter, preventing the children from reaching the school. The project also reha- bilitated the roof of the teacher's and doctor's houses and cast the surrounds of the village's tap stands. 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. TELECOMMUNICATIONS • Audited more than 1,200 km of the fiber optic backbone network and performed emergency repairs, reconnecting 20 cities and 70 percent of the population. • Reconstituted Baghdad area phone service by installing switches with 240,000 lines at 12 sites. • Installed and fully integrated 13 new switches with 14 existing switches. • Worked with the Ministry of Communications to reactivate more than 215,000 subscriber lines. • Installed a satellite gateway system at Baghdad’s largest telecom exchange and restored international service. • Trained telecom engineers and technicians in the operation and maintenance of the satellite gateway system and the new switches. BRIDGES AND ROADS • Rebuilt three major bridges—Khazir, Tikrit and Al Mat bridges—critical to moving people and commercial products throughout the country. • Rebuilt a substantial portion of the Iraqi Republican Railway line connecting Basrah with the port of Umm Qasr includ- ing physical track construction, installing culverts, and repairing gatehouses. The remainder of the work has been handed over to the Ministry of Transportation (MOT). This work allows shipments of bulk cargo from the port to Bagh- dad and throughout the country. FOOD SECURITY • Worked directly with the World Food Program (WFP) and Coalition Forces to re-establish the Public Distribution Sys- tem (PDS) in less than 30 days, avoiding a humanitarian food crisis and providing food security throughout the country. • With Iraqi food distributors, Food for Peace, the WFP, and Coalition Forces maintained deliveries from June through December 2003 in all 18 governorates. • Played a key role in an agreement between the WFP, CPA, and the MoT that provided the WFP with the resources and authority to continue to support the PDS through June 2004. • In partnership with the U.S. Embassy in Iraq, providing on-going support to the Public Distribution System Working Group to assist the Ministry of Trade with improving PDS management.
