To aid in that effort, SIGIR is announcing an audit to review overall transition planning. The audit will answer whether the United States has effectively planned to sustain what it has built in Iraq. SIGIR is concerned about whether there are sufficient resources to support capacity development for national and local government officials, operations and maintenance, infrastructure security, development of strategic cities, and private sector development.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 16th Quarterly Report from the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR). 2008 will be a "Year of Transfer" in Iraq, bringing with it the continued evolution of the U.S. program. This evolution means that the Government of Iraq (GOI) must assert ever greater responsibility for national security and economic planning, including the full funding and sustainment of ongoing relief and reconstruction efforts. The U.S. role, at this stage, is supportive, aimed chiefly at capacity-building initiatives within the economic, political, and security spheres. Three issues that could affect the Year of Transfer are: (1) a potential budget windfall from higher oil prices, (2) consequences from pending legal and legislative developments regarding Iraq's governance, and (3) the continuing shift of primary provincial security responsibilities to Iraqi control. Average oil production in Iraq this quarter hit a post-war high of 2.38 million barrels per day, enhancing the likelihood that Iraq's national income in 2008 will significantly exceed expectations. Section 3 of this Report contains summaries of SIGIR's seven new audit products, two of which continued SIGIR's programmatic review of major Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF) contracts. One report examined the work of Parsons Delaware, Inc., under its large design-build contract for projects in the buildings, health, and education sectors. The report reveals that Parsons completed only 3 of the 11 task orders issued under the contract. The other contract review examines the reconstruction work of Parsons Infrastructure & Technology Group, Inc., on a project managed by the Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment, finding that the contract's goals were largely met. A third Parsons audit will be released in the upcoming quarter.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past quarter, SIGIR produced 8 new audit products, 5 on-the-ground project assessments, and made progress on 57 ongoing investigations into allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse. Two more criminals caught in major bribery conspiracies uncovered by SIGIR were sentenced to prison. And several arrests were made in a significant new bribery case arising from the successful work of a law enforcement task force of which SIGIR is a part. The 8 new audits bring to 94 the total number of audits produced over the past three years, and the 5 new inspections bring the total number of inspections to 95. Of SIGIR's 57 ongoing investigations, 28 are being prosecuted by the Department of Justice. To date, SIGIR's investigative work has produced 13 arrests, 5 convictions, 5 imprisonments, a 25-count indictment of 5 persons, and nearly $16 million in court-ordered restitution and seizures. A table listing all convictions for fraud related to reconstruction work in Iraq is contained in Section 1 of this Report. Since our last Quarterly Report was released in April, the SIGIR has testified before three congressional hearings.

Book excerpt: As U.S. relief and reconstruction in Iraq enters the second quarter of this Year of Transition, the program is ensuring project execution, contract close-out, and program transition. Sustaining reconstruction in Iraq at this critical juncture requires the U.S. to coordinate closely with the new Iraqi government and international donors to sustain the substantial investment in Iraq's infrastructure. SIGIR has identified five critical issues, the resolution of which will help secure a successful reconstruction transition in Iraq.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year will bring change in Iraq that will fundamentally affect every aspect of the reconstruction program. This change began on January 1 when the Security Agreement and the Strategic Framework Agreement became effective, redefining the bilateral relationship between Iraq and the United States. The turn of- the-year transfer of the International Zone to Government of Iraq (GOI) control symbolized the new era that has begun to unfold in U.S.-Iraqi relations. As this new era begins, several salient challenges confront the reconstruction program. This section provides insight into these challenges. It begins by applying some of the hard lessons learned from the Iraq reconstruction experience to the evolving U.S. aid program of 2009. Then follow three interviews with top reconstruction leaders- Ambassador Ryan Crocker, General Raymond Odierno, and Minister of Planning Ali Ghalib Baban- shedding light on the way forward. The section also provides an update on the political and economic situations in Iraq, the status of ongoing U.S. reconstruction efforts, and a summary of SIGIR audits, inspections, and investigations accomplished this quarter.

Download or read book Iraq From War to a New Authoritarianism written by Toby Dodge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iraq recovered its full sovereignty at the end of 2011, with the departure of all US military forces. The 2003 invasion was undertaken to dismantle a regime that had long threatened its own population and regional peace, as well as to establish a stable, democratic state in the heart of the Middle East. This Adelphi looks at the legacy of that intervention and subsequent state-building efforts. It analyses the evolution of the insurgency, the descent into full-scale civil war and the implementation of the surge as a counterinsurgency strategy. It goes on to examine US and Iraqi efforts to reconstruct the states military and civilian capacity. By developing a clear understanding of the current situation in Iraq, this book seeks to answer three questions that are central to the countrys future. Will it continue to suffer high levels of violence or even slide back into a vicious civil war? Will Iraq continue on a democratic path, as exemplified by the three competitive national elections held since 2005? And does the new Iraq pose a threat to its neighbours?
Download or read book The Iraqi Refugees written by Joseph Sassoon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since the US-led invasion of Iraq, over 4 million Iraqis have been forced to flee their homes, in what amounts to one of the largest people movements in modern times, far exceeding the Palestinian outflow after 1948. Despite media reports of an improved security situation in Iraq, the majority of refugees are still not prepared to return. The social, economic, political and security consequences of the Iraq refugee crisis are huge. In this rigorous and timely book, Joseph Sassoon explores the underlying trends of Iraq's refugee flow: which class, ethnic and sectarian groups have gone - and are continuing to go - where and how. Based on extensive original research, he examines the economic impact of this exodus on Iraq itself, and on the host countries of the region: Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. He analyses international policy on the refugee issue, and assesses the options for return and resettlement. The Iraqi Refugees is both the first and the definitive guide to what will come to be seen as one of the most significant issues affecting the entire Middle East.
