UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT WWW.USAID.GOV MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE WATER AND SANITATION USAID’s goal is to improve the efficiency and reliability of existing water and wastewater treatment facilities, especially those in the south where water quantity and quality are particularly low. An anticipated 11.8 million Iraqis will benefit from USAID’s $600 million in water and sanitation projects. HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK Work continues on a project to repair the sewage collection system in Kadhamiya, a north- ern suburb of Baghdad with about 1.5 million people. Secu- rity issues and line collapses have recently caused delays, but work is continuing at all sites. The Scope of Work was recently re- vised to address the line collapses and refurbish vertical pumps. Kadhamiya neighborhoods fre- quently endure flooding of raw sewage. The overflows occur be- cause of inadequate or blocked sewer lines, and because inoper- able pump stations cannot convey sewage from homes and mains to sewage treatment plants. Kad- hamiya’s blocked, deteriorating and collapsed sewer lines require extensive repair or replacement. Public health risks from water-borne dis- eases are increased by pools of exposed raw sewage. This project will clean, repair, replace, and expand the sewer lines and equip- ment of Kadhamiya’s sewage collection system as necessary to improve its performance. Upon completion, the system will lift and convey sewage flows to Kerkh Wastewater Treatment Plant, eliminating flooding and pooling of raw sewage. The repairs are expected to be completed in the fall of 2005. Work continues on the rehabilitation of a major sewage treatment plant in Karbala in order to make the facilities fully functional and improve public health in the city. In recent weeks, workers have completed the me- chanical turnover at the low lift station and the electrical work on the chlorine building. Work continues on the installation of roofing for the chlorination sheds and the casting of the concrete sludge trench. When complete, this project will have cleaned the plant’s aeration tanks and constructed two new 36-meter diameter secondary sedimentation tanks. Three major pumping stations will also be rehabilitated and all major pumps, auxiliary mechanical equipment and supporting electrical equipment will be replaced or repaired as required. The project is now 40% finished and is pro- jected for completion in February 2006. June 9, 2005 • Nationwide: Repaired various sewage lift stations and water treatment units. • Baghdad: Expanding and reha- bilitating one water treatment plant and constructing another to increase capacity by approxi- mately 120 million gallons per day; rehabilitating sewage treat- ment plants. − A major wastewater treatment plant in Baghdad began operat- ing in June of 2004; this is the first major sewage plant in the country to operate in over 12 years. − The sewage treatment system in Baghdad, barely functioning for years before the conflict, will be restored to almost 100 per- cent capacity, serving 80 per- cent of Baghdad’s population. − Standby generators are being installed at 41 Baghdad water facilities. • South: Rehabilitated parts of the Sweet Water Canal system, including repairing breaches, cleaning the main reservoir, and refurbished 14 water treatment plants around Basrah serving 1.75 million people. • South Central: Rehabilitating two water plants and four sew- age plants. − Completed the rehabilitation of a sewage plant in Babil Gover- norate. − Sewage plants in An Najaf, Al Qadisiyah, Karbala, and Babil Governorates will serve 440,000 upon completion. − Water treatment in Najaf and Babil will serve residents and visitors at Iraq’s holiest shrines. • North: Completed rehabilitation of Kirkuk water plant and con- tinuing refurbishment of sewage plant near Mosul. When complete, repairs to a sewage system in a north Baghdad suburb will improve ser- vice to 1.5 million people. UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 2 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE USAID supports sustainable economic reforms in Iraq including examining and reforming laws, regulations, and institutions and providing a framework for private sector trade, commerce, and investment. The reforms will strengthen the Central Bank and the Ministries of Finance, Trade, Commerce and Indus- try—among others. HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK Representatives from USAID, the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation, and the UK’s Department for International Development re- cently met in Amman, Jordan to assess the needs of Iraqi Ministries seeking to move key state-owned enterprises off the national budget. The donor organizations discussed coordination of efforts to support the Min- istries and agreed to accelerate the timetable for privatizing numerous organi- zations. Needs assessments were conducted earlier by the donors with the Ministries and several Iraqi representatives participated via teleconference from Baghdad. A representative from USAID’s Private Sector Development (PSD) program spoke about the status of privatization support that is already being provided to the Government of Iraq. Discussions addressed donor interest and funding support for developing the privatization framework, training professional em- ployees in a new Iraqi Privatization Commission, restructuring selected enter- prises, and implementing a public awareness program to educate Iraqis on the benefits of privatization. In order to help the Iraqi government achieve its privatization objectives, the donor organizations and the Ministries collectively agreed that donor assis- tance should support privatizing specific state-owned enterprises in order to accelerate the process and quickly free the Iraqi government of the expenses for enterprises that belong in a robust private sector. Staff from the PSD program recently assessed a food processing facility in southern Iraq to gauge current standards for food safety and public health. Located in a governorate that has 50% unemployment, the plant can employ several hundred technicians when it is fully operational under new pri- vate ownership. The assessment was part of Iraq’s effort to bring its food safety standards to internationally accepted levels as the country seeks to join the World Trade Organization (WTO). PSD II is working with the Director General of Agriculture in the governorate to establish training programs for local workers that cover standards of perform- ance that meet WTO recommendations. Membership in the WTO will open up world markets to agricultural products from Iraq. Increased exports will create more employment and greater income for farmers and farm-related industries, which currently account for nearly 40% of the country’s jobs. June 9, 2005 • Developed WTO Accession Roadmap in cooperation with Iraqi officials. • Provided technical assistance as well as information on con- tracting opportunities for Iraqi businesses 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 on accounting, budgeting and lending activities at Iraq’s com- mercial banks. Trained 116 bankers from the Rafidain and Rasheed banks in six training courses. • Assisted in management of $21 million micro-credit program. • 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 five percent reconstruction levy on imports; built capacity of cus- toms officials to implement levy. • Developed a government-wide IT strategy to support the auto- mation of planning, budgeting and reporting processes across ministries. • Provided technical support for the re-opening of the Iraq Stock Exchange after it was closed down for more than 15 months; 3.6 billion Iraqi dinars ($2.4 mil- lion USD) in shares were traded in the first day. UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 3 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 mid-April, addresses the short- term recovery of agricultural infrastructure as well as medium and long-term implementation of policies to develop a market- based agricultural economy. AGRICULTURE 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 Farmers, government offi- cials, and students are participating in a series of barley field days with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture and USAID’s Agriculture Reconstruc- tion and Development for Iraq program. MOA/USAID anticipates that as farmers adopt these techniques their yields will increase and their returns will rise. Barley, used mainly as an animal feed, is the second most important grain crop in Iraq. At the field days, Farmers, local officials, and students listen to MOA/USAID specialists present suggestions for increasing barley production. Following the presen- tation, farmers asked questions and discussed concerns. MOA/ARDI will use the feedback to con- struct programs. farmers learn useful tech- niques and new methods that, if properly applied, will increase barley produc- tion. A recent field day drew more than 40 participants, including farmers from 12 villages who were interested in increasing their harvest. Among the tech- niques introduced at the session was a new fertilizer mix that will improve plant growth. Extension agents also discussed ideal planting times, herbi- cides, fungicides, and rodent control options. At a recent wheat workshop organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and USAID, farmers and government officials were introduced to an irriga- tion method that has the potential to increase the production of all crops including wheat. The training was well attended and the new technology was positively received. Two dozen farmers gathered at the workshop to hear MOA/USAID specialists discuss improved methods of wheat cultivation, in- cluding a proposed irrigation system. The farmers traveled from 11 other vil- lages to attend the discussion. The proposed irrigation system is valuable because of its efficient use of wa- ter. Nicknamed the “mini-sprinkler system,” the unit is constructed with a wa- ter pump, PVC tubes, a filter and sprinkler nozzles. Each unit covers between one and two hectares. June 9, 2005 UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 4 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 (TAL) • 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 adop- tion of an Iraqi constitution that promotes democratic principles and values through the provi- sion of technical assistance that includes, but is not limited to, providing comparative constitu- tional expertise; organizing con- stitutional conferences and con- ventions; facilitating public awareness, education, and par- ticipation; and assisting in the conduct of a national referen- dum or other ratifying mecha- nism. NATIONAL GOVERNANCE In the post-election period, USAID will continue to plan and implement a vari- ety of programs matching the needs of the evolving Iraqi democracy, under- taken in full partnership with Iraqi counterparts. In particular USAID is accel- erating activities in the national governance support area to ensure compre- hensive continued support to the Iraqi democratic transition. HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK A USAID partner supporting the Iraqi National Assembly (INA) outlined technical assistance to be provided to the INA during a meeting with Deputy Speaker Areef Tayfoor. In addition to ongoing orientation sessions for members of the Assembly, the outlined assistance includes designing an Assembly website which the Deputy Speaker viewed as a critical tool for pub- lic input in the constitutional process. Dr. Tayfoor described the assistance program as “excellent and comprehensive” and said that USAID’s assistance is both welcome and necessary. Dr. Tayfoor discussed potential regional con- ferences and orientation seminars to ensure training consistency for all INA members. The USAID partner supporting the Iraqi Transitional Government held two advocacy training sessions in May for 49 women representing seven political parties and several non-governmental organizations. Lectures and discussions focused on methods of building advocacy strategies, coali- tion-building, and strategic communication. At this stage of the constitutional process, advocacy work for these women focused on gaining the support of their leadership and the general public for the inclusion of women’s rights in the Constitution. To date, USAID has trained 132 women from 16 parties on advocacy in Basra and Baghdad. Recently, USAID’s partner supporting the Iraqi Transitional Government awarded seven micro-grants to civil society organizations (CSOs) from southern Iraq. The grants will promote public knowledge of the constitutional process. Representatives from these seven CSOs attended a full-day work- shop dedicated to donor relations and financial management. Participants also learned methods of writing reports that identify the purpose, challenges, lessons, and rewards of each activity that fulfills a grant-requirement. With the support of a USAID partner, the INA’s women’s caucus group met to identify areas of common interest in the drafting of the new con- stitution. Nineteen women from nine political parties and representatives of the Independent Democratic Women Gathering identified several areas of common interest to build a multi-party women’s coalition. They agreed that the constitution should guarantee equal access to natural resources, educa- tion, and citizenship rights. USAID’s partner supporting the Iraqi Transitional Government recently conducted a 10-day “NGO Capacity Building Training Seminar” for civil society activists from Babil, Baghdad, Basrah, Karbala, and Najaf. In co- operation with the Iraqi Aid Committee, a UK-based non-governmental organi- zation (NGO), USAID’s partner designed a training program to provide partici- pants with a solid and comprehensive introduction to the knowledge-base and skills most needed by NGOs. June 9, 2005 UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ● IRAQ RECONSTRUCTION WEEKLY UPDATE ● 5 MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO DATE COMMUNITY ACTION PROGRAM The Community Action Program works in rural and urban communities to pro- mote democracy and prevent and mitigate conflict. Working directly through partner NGOs and in consultation with local government representatives, USAID is creating representative, participatory community groups to identify critical priorities and implement programs to address those needs. HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK A community of villages outside of Mosul worked with USAID’s Commu- nity Action Program to improve the delivery ward in their local hospital. The new facilities will include an operating room, a room for labor, a post-natal room, and two offices for doctors. The Ministry of Health will supply skilled staff and essential equipment. More than 25,000 people live in the town and surrounding villages, eight thousand of whom are women of child-bearing age. The old hospital has a delivery room with two beds and a room for labor with four beds. This increased capacity will help to improve mothers’ access to quality obstetric care, reducing the risk of mortality associ- ated with home births and the shortage of skilled attendants in Iraq. June 9, 2005 • USAID has committed over $131 million to 3,120 projects while Iraqi communities have committed more than 25% of total funding. CAP has established over 600 community action groups (CAGs) in 17 governorates.

To improve resource management, an Educa- tion Management Information System is being developed. • More than 8.7 million math and science textbooks have been edited, printed, and distributed throughout Iraq. • Partnerships have been estab- lished between five American and ten Iraqi universities. Through these partnerships, more than 1,400 Iraqi faculty and students have participated in workshops, trainings, 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 Sixty-eight Iraqi English teachers recently attended a two week English as a Sec- ond Language (ESL) teacher training program in Amman, Jordan. The training intro- duced the teachers to interac- tive teaching styles in an effort to upgrade the pedagogical knowledge and competencies of Iraq’s teachers. The Eng- lish teachers will work as train- ers, going on to train 6000 teachers over the summer. USAID will train a total of 100,000 primary and secon- dary teachers. The training program discussed current practices in language instruction, in- teractive classroom techniques, effective teaching methods for Arabic speak- ers, and methods for teaching grammar. One instructor taught a reading framework designed to cultivate vocabulary, increase comprehension and evaluate reading strategies. Another instructor demonstrated ways to apply modern techniques to their sometimes outdated text books. The program concluded with two days of mock presentations. The trainees presented Eng- lish lessons to instructors and received critical feedback on their presenta- tions. Conference attendees were carefully selected from a group of teachers that were nominated by their respective schools. Three teachers represented each of Iraq’s 23 school directorates. The program was conducted by an American consultant group that specializes in teaching modern techniques and methodologies to foreign language teachers. The group also specializes in teaching English to Arabic speakers. Iraqi teachers discuss modern strategies for teaching English to Arabic speakers during a two week conference in Amman, Jordan.
