United Nations: Poverty rate in Iraq, 23 percent Baghdad – Mada Newspaper, Irakna News Net, Voice of Iraq News Net, Sumaria News Site & Hurria TV, Nov. 17 The United Nations Mission in Iraq, on Wednesday, said the poverty rate in Iraq is up to 23%, confirming they are working on creating job opportunities for young people in the oil and gas field and building the capacity of government institutions to benefit from the experience.

1 oil and gas. “

He explained that “the mission is building the capacity of government institutions and the provincial councils to take advantage of them,” noting that “one of the biggest challenges that Iraq faces is the lack of technical capabilities that frame to provide assistance to the beneficiaries and there is a gap in technical capacity to provide assistance.”

Diyala poverty increasing as insecurity stalls investment Diyala – AKnews Agency, Nov. 14 Local officials in Diyala said the rising poverty and stalled investment in the province is due to the lack of security and stability. They warned of the painful consequences.

The rate of poverty in Diyala reached 37% of the province's 1.5 million people. The majority are concentrated in rural areas according to statistics by the Ministry of Planning issued last year.

Deputy Governor of Diyala for Planning and Budget issues Talal al-Jabbouri told AKnews that "the increasing rates of poverty will increase corruption, organized crime and the threat of armed groups. There is a need to prepare and implement effective projects to reduce the poverty rate."

Jabbouri attributed the reasons for the high poverty rates in Diyala to the "terrorist" acts which affected the province during past years, remnants of the former regime, and neglecting various social segments. He called for directing the wealth of Iraq to eliminate poverty, the presence of which has become unacceptable.

"The government is able to address poverty and improve the living standards of the citizen in all the provinces because of our economic prosperity, considering that the poverty rate in Diyala and the province is under control. The end of the U.S. withdrawal from the country will be a positive factor in achieving economic progress that will bring down the rates of poverty and unemployment and improve the lives of citizens. "

A number of Iraqi economists assured AKnews on Sunday that Iraq failed to fulfill projects in the 2011 budget to decrease the poverty while the ministry says that Iraq needs US$ 6.8 bn to reduce the level of poverty in the country.

United Nations reports indicate more than seven million Iraqis are living below the poverty line despite the increase in the size of Iraq's oil exports to 2.5 million barrels per day. Link: http://www.aknews.com/en/aknews/2/272361/
