Reconstruct Communications and Postal Systems Build Iraq’s first responder network; Establish independent regulatory agency; Upgrade Iraqi Telephone and Postal Company (ITPC) network for interoperability; Build transmission component data network for Iraq, including international gateways; Restructure ITPC and its business operations; Upgrade and modernize postal systems; Upgrade ITPC outside plant for increased subscriber capacity and use Since May 2003, CPA has reinstated telephone service for 91,800 subscribers, including 24,500 (a 36 percent increase) since last week, and continues to make progress in restoring service to customers, especially in Baghdad. The following chart shows the number of active subscribers in April 2003, the current number of active subscribers, the number of subscribers reinstated post-conflict (since May 2003), and the number of formerly active subscribers who remain without service (excluding the three Northern governorates): Source: CPA Senior Advisor to the Minister of Communications Iraqi Telephone and Postal Company [ITPC] The three cell phone companies in Iraq continue to sign up new subscribers. Currently, in Mosul, Sulaymaniyah, and Kirkuk there are 110,000 subscribers. In Baghdad there are 65,000 subscribers, and in Basra there are 25,000 subscribers. In April 2003, the Iraqi telephone system was capable of providing service to 1.1 million customers, but there were only 833,000 active subscribers (excluding the three Northern governorates). Currently there are 674,400 active telephone subscribers in Iraq. The total number of telephone subscribers in Iraq, including the 200,000 cell phone subscribers, equals 874,400, which is greater than the number of active subscribers pre-war. The penetration rate (the number of active landline telephone subscribers as a percentage of the population) is 2.6 percent (using an estimated population of 25.9 million). The teledensity in Iraq (all subscribers with a telephone) is 3.4 percent of the population. The following chart shows the percentage of operational telephone subscribers compared to the number of active subscribers in April 2003. The percentage of active subscribers in Baghdad increased by six percent over last week: Source: CPA Senior Advisor to the Minister of Communications Iraqi Telephone and Postal Company [ITPC] As of February 20, the number of frequencies registered or assigned within Iraq for Non-Coalition users was 8,087 (these assignments cover uses such as satellites links for news agencies, land mobile radios for the New Iraqi Army or Security Forces, radio stations transmissions, and communications for Air Traffic Control towers). CPA has repaired 17 telephone switches since May 2003 with full supporting service (office space, power, fiber transmission connections to other switches, security). Five switches are still inoperable (out of 203 total). The following chart shows the number of operational, inoperable, and repaired telephone switches in Iraq (excluding the three Northern governorates): Source: CPA Senior Advisor to the Minister of Communications Iraqi Telephone and Postal Company [ITPC] III. Provide Food Security for all Iraqis Enhance capacity of Ministry of Agriculture; Assure supply of inputs; Strengthen research system; Ensure adequate stocks for Public Distribution System (PDS); Monitor food security; Hand over administration of system in the North; Initiate reform of rations basket; Environmental Initiatives The following chart shows the percentage of estimated requirements on hand of stocks for the 12 public distribution goods that Iraqis receive under the PDS until the end of April. The percentage of estimated requirements is broken down into opening stocks (amount on hand), and scheduled arrivals of goods from contracts arranged by MOT and WFP. The PDS stocks in the following chart are calculated as a percentage of three months’ (February - April) estimated demand. Having 100 percent of each commodity will ensure that stocks are available through April. Source: CPA Food Security Team Shortages in the food pipeline for immediate rice distribution are 25 percent of the overall ration requirement this month, but “arrears” will be made up in next month’s distributions. National wheat and milk stocks are below the requirements for April. CPA is working to accelerate new procurement by the World Food Program (WFP) and the Ministry of Trade (MOT) to eliminate these shortages. Contracts for the shipment of 561,000 metric tons of PDS goods remain unconfirmed, a decrease of 24 percent from the 741,000 tons of unconfirmed commodities last week. The following chart shows the current PDS stocks and scheduled arrivals as a percent of total requirements from February until transition on July 1. In addition to the monthly requirements from February through June, requirements for the transition include having the entire month of July on hand, and having an additional three-month buffer stock on hand at the time of transition. Thus, on the chart below, CPA’s goal is 100 percent in each commodity category by July 1. Future procurement plans by WFP and MOT will ensure that these goals are achieved.

Improve Quality and Access to Healthcare Develop health care organizations, management, and infrastructure; Train health care professionals; Secure system; Public health; Pharmaceuticals logistic support; Strategic communications Dr. Khudair Abbas, Minister of Health, delivered remarks at the Iraqi Medical Specialty Forum this week to a group of physicians from across Iraq who traveled to Baghdad to exchange ideas and promote the establishment of specialty medical societies throughout the country. The Forum was presented in cooperation with the Iraqi Governing Council, CPA, the Combined Joint Task Force 7 Medical Command and USAID. Forum sponsors organized a shipment of 15,000 medical journals from the American Medical Association for distribution, received 25 papers from Iraqi doctors for presentation at the conference, and extended invitations to 700 Iraqi physicians, medical specialists, and 30 visiting and expatriate guest speakers. V. Improve Quality and Access to Education Reorganize and staff the Ministry of Education; Rehabilitate school buildings and build new schools; Advance national dialogue on curriculum reform; Continue and expand teacher training Eleven thousand teachers graduated in one day from the final sessions of the High School Teacher Training program scheduled across the country this past week. In total, 33,000 teachers and 3,000 supervisors were trained in effective instructional practices and classroom management strategies. International scholars in civic education from the Czech Republic, Estonia, Egypt, Latvia, South Africa, and the U.S. are sharing their experiences with Iraqis during a conference in Baghdad this week on civic education. VII. Restore Economically – Strategic Transportation Infrastructure Enable Iraqi civil aviation to prepare for international commercial aviation and cargo service; Enable Iraqi Port Authority (IPA) to administer a port of call with intermodal capabilities and inland container distribution; Enable Iraqi Railroad Railways (IRR) to provide domestic and international passenger and freight capabilities; Reform Civil Service at Ministry of Transportation After being significantly delayed by late equipment deliveries, installation of the Iraqi Republic Railway’s (IRR) new VHF radio network is now progressing rapidly. To date, radios have been installed in 36 locomotives, including all of the active Baghdad-based units. The first two of an eventual thirty new Ukrainian-built mainline diesel-electric locomotives acquired under the UN Oil-for-Food Project arrived this past week in Baghdad. On February 14, the IRR delivered 4,000 tons of Syrian grain to Mosul, Taji, and Dora. Syria released 95 railcars at Rabiya on the Iraq-Syria border, and the IRR expects three trains to move these cars during the next week. The Ministry of Transportation appointed a new Director-General and deputy Director-General to replace the management at the Iraqi Ports Company, who had previously delayed the disbursement of salaries. After additional last-minute repairs and sea trials, the ship Saif Saad of the Iraqi dredging fleet is expected to resume dredging on February 28.
