Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses the transition of completed projects funded by the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF) to the Iraqi government. In January 2006, the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) reported that 2006 would be a year of transition for the U.S. reconstruction program in Iraq. This focus on transition followed SIGIR's October 2005 Report on the issue of sustainment programs for IRRF assets. SIGIR noted that progress had been hampered by the absence of a centralized sustainment office with the authority and responsibility to manage the effort across the jurisdictional boundaries of the operating agencies. In response, the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office (IRMO) established a coordinating sustainment office. By September 30, 2006, all IRRF funds will either be obligated to a contract or they will no longer be available to support relief and reconstruction projects in Iraq. As more projects are completed, the U.S. agencies and organizations that currently manage and implement the U.S. reconstruction effort should prepare to implement strategies for transitioning assets, projects and programs to the Iraqi government. A critical element of attaining end-state objectives for U.S. funded projects is a strategic plan to ensure that (1) completed projects and related assets are turned over to the appropriate Iraqi officials and (2) the Iraqi government has the capacity and resources necessary to sustain them. IRMO and the Project and Contracting Office (PCO) are the two principal organizations that are managing, overseeing and implementing the IRRF. Established as temporary organizations under National Security Presidential Directive No. 36 (May 11, 2004), IRMO's principal responsibility was "to facilitate the transition in Iraq," while PCO was established to provide acquisition and project management support. Both organizations are scheduled to sunset on May 10, 2007.

Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. A large-scale assistance program has been undertaken by the U.S. in Iraq since mid-¿03. By Spring '09, over $49 billion had been appropriated for Iraq reconstruction. In June '09, A significant number of reconstruction activities, especially those involving construction of roads, sanitation, electric power, oil production, and other infrastructure, are completed or near completion. Most large-scale infrastructure programs are no longer funded. However, many small-scale, targeted community-level infrastructure efforts are funded. The key emphases of the aid program are the training of Iraqi forces and programs assisting the development of Iraqi governing capacities and supporting the work of the Provincial Reconstruction Teams.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Product Description: The billions of dollars expended in Iraq constitute the largest relief and reconstruction exercise in American history. SIGIR's lessons learned capping report characterizes this effort in four phases (pre-war to ORHA, CPA, post-CPA/Negroponte era, and Khalilzad, Crocker, and the Surge). From this history, SIGIR forwards a series of conclusions and recommendations for Congress to consider when organizing for the next post-conflict reconstruction situation. Over the past five years, the United States has provided nearly fifty billion dollars for the relief and reconstruction of Iraq. This unprecedented rebuilding program, implemented after the March 2003 invasion, was developed to restore Iraq's essential services, build Iraq's security forces, create a market-based economy, and establish a democratic government--all in pursuit of U.S. interests in a stable and free Iraq. Did the U.S. rebuilding program achieve its objectives? Was the money provided well-spent or wasted? What lessons have we learned from the experience? Hard Lessons: The Iraq Reconstruction Experience, a report from the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR), answers these and other important questions by presenting a comprehensive history of the U.S. program, chiefly derived from SIGIR's body of extensive oversight work in Iraq, hundreds of interviews with key figures involved with the reconstruction program, and thousands of documents evidencing the reconstruction work that was - or was not - done. The report examines the limited pre-war planning for reconstruction, the shift from a large infrastructure program to a more community-based one, and the success of the Surge in 2007 and beyond. Hard Lessons concludes that the U.S. government did not have the structure or resources in place to execute the mammoth relief and reconstruction plan it took on in 2003. The lessons learned from this experience create a basis for reviewing and reforming the U.S. approach to contingency relief and reconstruction operations.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is one of a series issued by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) that addresses transferring completed projects funded by the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF) to the Government of Iraq (GOI). It focuses on the formal transfer of IRRF-funded capital assets and follows up on prior SIGIR recommendations relating to capital asset transfer. As of May 31, 2007, the Iraq Reconstruction Management Office (IRMO), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTC-I), and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-Gulf Region Division (GRD) have managed the completion of 2,797 IRRF-funded capital construction projects valued at approximately $5.8 billion. The overall objective was to determine whether IRMO, USAID, MNSTC-I, and GRD have developed and implemented plans for the transition of IRRF-funded projects to the GOI. To meet the objective, the audit addressed these questions: (1) Have U.S. agencies involved in IRRF-funded construction projects developed adequate procedures for transitioning completed projects to the Government of Iraq?; (2) Have there been delays in transitioning projects to the Government of Iraq, and if so, what have been the cause and impact of those delays?; and (3) What is the status of actions taken in responding to prior SIGIR recommendations on transition and sustainment? The transition process comprises three steps: (1) asset recognition and transfer, (2) sustainment, and (3) capacity development. This audit focused on asset recognition and transfer. SIGIR is reporting on sustainment and capacity development in separate reviews and assessments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in 2003, diverse and significant actors, both domestic and international, engaged in reconstruction activities in Iraq. The total budget committed to Iraq’s reconstruction was unprecedented among postconflict operations mobilized by the international community. Despite the vast sums of money spent, and the implementation of its many projects and programs, the donors and the Iraqi people view the reconstruction efforts in Iraq in a negative light. The Reconstruction of Iraq after 2003: Learning from Its Successes and Failures focuses on the period between 2003 and 2014—that is, after the United States†“led invasion and overthrow of the Saddam Hussein regime, and before the sudden rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), also known as Daesh. This book assesses several dimensions of Iraq’s reconstruction. First, it considers the response of key international actors, such as the United Nations, the World Bank, the United States, and other bilateral donors—specifically, the European Union, Japan, and the United Kingdom—as well as nongovernmental organizations. Second, it analyzes the process and results of the reconstruction of key sectors (electricity, oil, education, and health), and the interventions geared to institution building and governance reform. Pursuing effective reconstruction within the context of conflict and fragility is a formidable challenge because of the uncertain, fluid, and complex environment. Based on the experience in Iraq, how can the international community support the effectiveness and durability of reconstruction? This book identifies lessons in seven areas and offers four recommendations for international and domestic actors and citizens engaged in reconstruction activities. The Reconstruction of Iraq after 2003 is important reading for development practitioners and policy makers who are or will be engaged in reconstruction efforts in fragile and conflict-affected environments.

Book excerpt: Large-scale reconstruction assistance programs are being undertaken by the United States following the war with Iraq. To fund such programs, Congress approved on April 12, 2003, a $2.48 billion Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund in the FY2003 Supplemental Appropriation. On November 6, 2003, the President signed into law P.L. 108-106, the FY2004 Emergency Supplemental Appropriation, providing $18.4 billion for Iraq reconstruction. Contributions pledged at the October 24, 2003, Madrid donor conference by other donors amounted to roughly $3.6 billion in grant aid and as much as $13.3 billion in possible loans. On June 28, 2004, the entity implementing assistance programs, the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), dissolved, and sovereignty was returned to Iraq. Security Council Resolution 1546 of June 8, 2004, returned control of assets held in the Development Fund for Iraq to the government of Iraq. U.S. assistance is now provided through the embassy of the United States under Ambassador John Negroponte. Many reconstruction efforts on the ground are underway, but security concerns have slowed progress considerably. Most reconstruction funding is targeted at infrastructure projects roads, sanitation, electric power, oil production, etc. Aid is also used to train and equip Iraqi security forces. A range of programs are in place to offer expert advice to the Iraqi government, establish business centers, rehabilitate schools and health clinics, provide school books and vaccinations, etc. However, of the $18.4 billion appropriated by Congress in October 2003, only $10.6 billion had been obligated and $2.7 billion spent by mid-January 2005. Congress approved on September 29 an Administration-proposed re-allocation of $3.5 billion in previously appropriated reconstruction funds to give greater emphasis to security, employment generation, and debt relief.
