Executive Summary

Introduction 1. The Ninth Progress Report on Activities Implemented under the United Nations Development Group Iraq Trust Fund (UNDG ITF) is submitted to the Ministry of Planning and Development Cooperation (MoPDC) and the Donors of the International Reconstruction Fund Facility for Iraq (IRFFI) by the UNDP Multi-Donor Trust Fund Office (MDTF Office), in its capacity as the Administrative Agent of the UNDG ITF. This is in fulfillment of the reporting provisions of the Letter of Agreement (LOA). The consolidated narrative and financial report covers the period from 1 January to 31 December 2008 with additional financial analysis covering the first quarter of 2009 that is based on unofficial project contract commitment and disbursement figures. 2. At the eighth meeting of the IRFFI Donor Committee, hosted by the Government of Italy (Naples, 2008), a number of strategic decisions were taken regarding the future of the IRFFI. Principally, the Do- nor Committee supported a proposal with a recommended timeline and benchmarks for the closure of the IRFFI. Additionally, the Donor Committee discussed post-IRFFI coordination. The Multi-Donor Stock- taking Review was finalized and Scanteam of Norway presented the main findings. The meeting concluded with the welcoming of Denmark‘s designation of Ambassador Mikael Winther as the new Chair of the IRFFI Donor Committee. 3. The IRFFI Donors agreed to align UNDG ITF reporting timelines with UNDG standards; therefore, beginning with this report, narrative and financial information is being consolidated on a twelve-month basis. Agency commitment, disbursement, and project summary updates will be prepared and made available on the UNDG ITF website on a quarterly basis.

Progress Reports 4. The report is consolidated based on information and data contained in the individual progress reports and financial statements submitted by the 16 Participating UN Organizations of the UNDG ITF2 including the individual sector reports prepared and submitted by each sector. The report also builds on the eight consolidated previous progress reports. 5. In addition to the consolidated annual progress report, the UNDG ITF can provide donors with the individual project progress reports submitted by Participating UN Organizations presenting detailed information on the activities and achievements of each project. The individual project reports are available upon request from the MDTF Office. 6. Individual project progress summaries, or ‗fiches,‘ providing a snapshot of qualitative and quantitative progress made to date at the project level, are also available. These project summaries are prepared in response to requests of major donors such as the European Commission (EC). The individual project fiches are updated quarterly and posted on the UNDG ITF section of the IRFFI web site.

Report Structure 7. The Ninth Consolidated Progress Report is presented in five sections. Section 1 provides a brief review of IRFFI-related issues. Section 2 provides an overview and update of the UN mandate and UNDG ITF governance framework. Section 3 provides a status update, including project approvals during the reporting period, status of projects, and an update of challenges and assessments/evaluations undertaken. Section 4 highlights sector-level achievements through individual Sector Outcome Team

2 In the present report, as in the previous six-month progress reports, the term ―agency‖ is used interchangeably with ―organization‖ to describe the Participating UN Organizations, although only a few of the relevant organizations are legally defined as agencies. v

(SOT) reports, which include new project location maps. Section 5 provides an overview of the financial performance of the UNDG ITF.

UNDG ITF Closure 8. In planning for the closure of IRFFI, the Donor Committee emphasized the importance of an orderly and efficient wind-up that (i) would allow for the successful completion of all projects and programmes, (ii) ensure compliance with UN and World Bank legal agreements and related conditions, and (iii) avoid undermining long-term gains and results on the ground. For the UNDG ITF, the Donors agreed to a proposal that included a cut-off date of 30 June 2009 for new donor contributions, 31 December 2009 for approval of new projects, and 31 December 2010 for finalizing commitments of approved funds. As agreed at the May 2008 meeting of the IRFFI Executive Committee, these target dates will be further reviewed at the next IRFFI Donor Committee meeting.

UNDG ITF Strategic Framework 9. The role of the UN in Iraq is derived and defined from Security Council Resolutions (SCR) 1546 (2004) and SCR 1770 (2007) and is implemented through the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) led by the Special Representative of the Secretary General (SRSG). With an expanded mandate under SCR 1770, the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) for Iraq is providing humanitarian, reconstruction, and development assistance. In August 2008, SCR 1830 was endorsed and the mandate of the UNAMI was extended for an additional period of 12 months. 10. The United Nations Assistance Strategy for Iraq 2008–2010, developed jointly by the Government of Iraq (GoI) and the UN Country Team (UNCT), addresses the priority needs of the Iraqi people as defined in the National Development Strategy (NDS), the International Compact with Iraq (ICI), and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The strategy, which focuses on capacity development and the provision of technical assistance, will guide the UN and future activities of Participating UN Organizations in cooperation with Iraq. The UNCT began a Mid-term Review (MTR) in 2009. Minor changes were made to the Strategy document to address emerging priorities, but overall the process ensured no major changes to the original scope of the 2008–2010 Strategy. Building upon the MTR, the UNCT will begin the process of preparing the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for Iraq for the period 2011–2014.

Projects Approved 11. A total of $1.33 billion has been deposited in the UNDG ITF as of 31 December 2008. Of this, $1.2 billion has been approved by the Iraqi Strategic Review Board (ISRB) and the UNDG ITF Steering Committee following technical review and vetting by Iraqi authorities, UNCT, and donors to support 159 projects and joint programmes. From 1 July to 31 December 2008, 19 new projects were approved for a total of $112.66 million.

Projects Completed 12. As of 30 September 2008, a total of 64 projects were reported as operationally closed. Of the 161 projects and joint programmes that have been approved as of 31 March 2009, the number of operationally closed projects and joint programmes has increased to 80, an increase of 16, for a total of approximately $729.53 million. A project is declared ―operationally closed‖ when the implementing agency has communicated that all project activities have been completed. The financial closure is generally within 12 months of the operational closure.

Implementation Challenges 13. The individual SOT reports contained in Section 4 provide a detailed account of the challenges that are unique to each sector. However, common challenges described in both the SOT reports and the vi individual Participating UN Organization project reports during the reporting period include: sustaining capacity building gains particularly at the institutional level, availability of technical experts and supplies in the local market, organizing consultative processes in a timely manner to adhere to work plans and timelines, lengthy procurement processes, communication, and security.

Project Implementation Highlights: Capacity Building and Employment Updates 14. Of the 161 approved projects as of 31 March 2009, 80 projects were confirmed as closed, leaving 81 active projects, several of which were newly approved. A total of 75 project progress reports were reviewed as well as several final project reports. A total of 75 project reports were reviewed during the reporting period and all projects except for seven had capacity building as one of the main outcomes to be achieved. When institutional and capacity building were not highlighted as a primary objective, they were typically incorporated into a ‗twin track approach‘ that involved providing institutional and individual capacity building while simultaneously responding to urgent needs and the provision of social services within the various thematic areas. 15. As a cross cutting issue, mainstreaming employment generation and achieving higher employment levels is a joint responsibility between the UNCT and GoI. UNDG ITF projects are supporting employment generation through several methods including short- and long-term employment as well as (i) building capacity and institutions, (ii) supporting construction and rehabilitation, and (iii) establishing training institutions that contribute to strengthening the work force in the long term. In reviewing the UNDG ITF ongoing activities, 28 of the 75 progress reports that were reviewed describe how the projects and programmes are contributing to employment generation. A consolidation of data provided in the individual Agency reports indicated that approximately 1,811 workers (including part-time and full-time, short-term and long-term skilled and unskilled labourers, contractors, and skilled trades, professionals working in health, social services, and technocrats) were employed during the reporting period as a result of ongoing projects. Furthermore, a total of 849,580 work days of employment were provided through the ongoing projects and joint programmes.

Financial Performance 32. Beginning with the Ninth Consolidated UNDG ITF Progress Report, the financial performance including donor contributions received, transfers made to Participating UN Organizations, and expenditures, is being consolidated and reported upon annually. This is based on the decision taken by the IRFFI Donors at the Eighth IRFFI Donor Committee meeting to facilitate comparison of future annual progress reports. Furthermore, expenditure will be reported using the UNDG 2006 six financial reporting categories. 33. During the reporting period January to December 2008, an additional contribution of $55.44 million was deposited into the UNDG ITF account, which increased total donor contributions as of 31 December 2008 to $1.33 billion. This represents 98 percent of the total commitments made by donors as of this date. 34. During the same reporting period, a total of $138.11 million was expended. Cumulative expenditures as of 31 December 2008 amounted to $988.94 million or 81 percent of the total funds transferred of $1.22 billion. 35. As of 31 December 2008, the UNDG ITF had funded approved projects for a total amount of $1.22 billion from deposited funds and interest earnings. Approximately $1.08 billion of earmarked contributions, $123.01 million of un-earmarked contributions, and $15.3 million of Fund earned interest were used to fund the approved projects. 36. A total of $945 million (77 percent of funds transferred) had been legally committed and $839 million (69 percent of funds transferred) had been disbursed. 37. As of 31 March 2009, 2,842 contracts were posted on the UNDG ITF website and awarded to suppliers from 47 countries. These contracts are for the provision of services, supplies, commodities, equipment, and other project inputs and have a combined value of approximately $615.60 million. Iraq, with $167 million in contract awards (1,350 separate contracts), is the largest single supplier of goods and services, indicating the large volume of national/local contracting, particularly for community-level infrastructure rehabilitation in Iraq. 38. As of 31 December 2008, a total of $61.85 million interest income has been reported comprised of Fund level earned interest of $32.28 million, and reported interest earnings of $29.57 million from Participating UN Organizations.

UNDG ITF Transparency and Accountability 39. The major vehicle for public transparency of UNDG ITF operations continues to be the IRFFI web site (www.irffi.org). The public posting of UNDG ITF operations, including contract award data, provides a high level of transparency to Iraqi authorities, donors, the public, the business community, and the Participating UN Organizations. By accessing contract data information, UN programme managers can easily determine costs for activities comparable to those that they are planning, while vendors can benchmark their subsequent product and service offerings in order to be competitive in future bidding exercises. The commitment and disbursement figures also serve as benchmarks for the UNDG ITF Steering Committee for approving new projects, because no project can be approved unless the Participating UN Organization can demonstrate a commitment and disbursement rate of at least 50 percent and 25 percent, respectively, on previously funded amounts.

Introduction

The Ninth Progress Report on Activities Implemented under the United Nations Development Group Iraq Trust Fund (UNDG ITF) is submitted to the Ministry of Planning and Development Cooperation (MoPDC) and the Donors of the International Reconstruction Fund Facility for Iraq (IRFFI) by the UNDP Multi-Donor Trust Fund Office (MDTF Office), in its capacity as the Administrative Agent of the UNDG ITF. This is in fulfillment of the reporting provisions of the Letter of Agreement (LOA). The consolidated narrative and financial report covers the period from 1 January to 31 December 2008 with additional financial analysis covering the first quarter of 2009 that is based on unofficial project contract commitment and disbursement figures. The information presented in the report covers the current reporting period as well as the previous eight periods of progress reporting to provide a comprehensive update on the status of the UNDG ITF.

A total of $1.33 billion has been deposited in the UNDG ITF as of 31 December 2008, of which $1,221 million has been approved by the Iraq Strategic Review Board (ISRB) and the UNDG ITF Steering Committee following review and approval of 159 projects. During the July to December 2008 six-month period, 19 new projects were approved and funded for a total of $112.66 million. Of the 19 projects, five were approved as a joint programme. During 2008, a total of 24 projects valued at $139 million were approved by the UNDG ITF Steering Committee.

At the eighth meeting of the IRFFI Donor Committee, hosted by the Government of Italy (Naples, 2009), a number of strategic decisions were taken regarding the future of the IRFFI. The Donor Committee agreed to a timeline and benchmarks for the closure of the IRFFI. Additionally, the Donor Committee discussed post-IRFFI coordination.

The IRFFI Multi-Donor Stocktaking Review, commissioned by IRFFI Donors, was presented at the eighth IRFFI Donor Committee meeting. The overall results of the review were that the IRFFI has made a contribution to recovery in Iraq and, despite poor field conditions, has a high level of activity. As a result, the delivery of tangible physical goods, which provided ‗normalization‘ of conditions, improved the lives of the beneficiaries particularly in the areas of education, healthcare services, some infrastructure, and short-term employment creation.

The IRFFI Donors agreed to align UNDG ITF reporting timelines with UNDG standards; therefore, beginning with this report, narrative and financial information will be consolidated on a twelve-month basis. Agency commitment, disbursement, and project summary updates will be prepared and made available on the UNDG ITF website on a quarterly basis. Also in relation to reporting, the MDTF Office rolled out the first of two phases of its new financial and programme web-based MDTF Reporting Portal in 2009. Be- ginning with this report, all UNDG ITF Participating UN Organizations are reporting financials to the MDTF Office by means of the new portal.

1. IRFFI/UNDG ITF Strategic Framework and Benchmarks

1.1. IRFFI Donor Committee 1.1.1 Eighth Donor Meeting The eighth meeting of the International Reconstruction Fund Facility for Iraq (IRFFI) Donor Committee was hosted by the Government of Italy in Naples on 18 February 2009. Ambassador Gianludovico de Martino and Iraq Deputy Minister of Planning and Development Cooperation Dr. Mehdi Ismail opened the meeting.

Deputy Minister Dr. Ismail thanked the donors, UN, and World Bank for their contributions to Iraq‘s reconstruction and development particularly in critical sectors such as basic social services, governance, and institutional capacity building. He explained that significant economic challenges remain in Iraq including the need for greater private sector diversification, increased production, and improved infrastructure. He further indicated that the decrease in oil prices has impacted the Government of Iraq‘s (GoI) ability to pay for many of its strategic priorities including improving Iraq‘s infrastructure.

The World Bank Iraq Trust Fund (WB ITF) and UNDG ITF presented their respective progress reports on activities implemented during the six-month reporting period from 1 January to 30 June 2008 including highlights through 31 December 2008. The UNDG ITF indicated that $33.97 million was received in do- nor contributions in 2008 for a total of $1.33 billion deposited to date. Approximately 77 projects (49 percent) of the portfolio projects were operationally closed; 77% of approved funding was committed and 69 percent disbursed by the Participating UN Organizations. The available fund balance was $135 million.

The Multi-Donor Stocktaking Review was finalized and Scanteam of Norway findings are presented in section 1.1.2.

The donors took a number of strategic decisions regarding the closure of IRFFI as well as reporting timelines. Principally, a timeline for closure was agreed to that set forth several benchmarks to work toward the orderly closure in the coming years (see section 1.3). The donors also agreed to align IRFFI reporting guidelines with the current UNDG guidelines for annual reporting. Beginning in 2009, the UNDG ITF will provide donors with annual consolidated narrative and financial progress reports. Additionally, beginning in 2009, monthly commitment and disbursement reports will be prepared and made public on the UNDG ITF website on a quarterly basis to align with the currently quarterly progress summary (fiches) reports.

Donors also discussed the importance of maintaining a strong UN coordination system and the role of the Resident Coordinator in supporting harmonized strategic programming, formulation, resource mobilization, coordination, and monitoring and evaluation in a post-IRFFI scenario. The importance of ensuring the Government of Iraq‘s ownership and coordination in the post-IRFFI environment was equally emphasized during the proceedings.

Donors expressed their interest in ensuring the identification of lessons learned from the IRFFI, as the first UN-administered Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF), and that the lessons be used to strengthen the UN‘s future activities in Iraq as well as the MDTF mechanism as a whole.

The meeting concluded with the welcoming of Denmark‘s designation of Ambassador Mikael Winther as the new Chair of the IRFFI Donor Committee; appreciation was extended to the Republic of Italy and Ambassador de Martino for his years of leadership as the Chair of the IRFFI Donor Committee.

1.1.2 Multi-Donor Stocktaking Review In July 2005, the IRFFI Donor committee took the decision to coordinate a stocktaking exercise. The Terms of Reference (TOR) document was finalized in October 2007 and the review began in January 2008. The review was built on previous independent reviews including the UN review completed by Pri- cewaterhouseCoopers and released in January 2007 and a World Bank review of MDTFs completed by Development Alternatives in March 2006.

Scanteam Report  Extent to which the IRFFI mechanism engaged Iraqis and donors.  Lessons learned for future IRFFI operations and other MDTFs.

At the Fund level, the report identified several important findings regarding the utility of the MDTF mechanism in general and the IRFFI‘s contributions to Iraq:

In complex post-crises situations, MDTFs are a best practice with advantages over bi-lateral funding. The IRFFI was a pragmatic response to a polarized and high-risk situation. It provided an impartial platform for dialogue and collaboration in a politicized environment shifting the focus of international efforts to recovery to enable rapid resource mobilization based on broad stakeholder interests. The MDTF was capable of working on urgent, short-term, and medium-term recovery needs simultaneously.

In matters of transparency and risk reduction the report found that, through the use of monitoring and financial management systems put in place by the administrators, the Fund provided reduction of corruption risk. For host governments, information on the MDTF was more easily accessible than from other sources, improving planning potential. There was a reduced political implementation risk for donors and government due to pooling of resources and developing a common policy approach among donors, which reduced fragmentation in the recovery portfolio.

The two-window model, WB ITF and UNDG ITF, was found to be an extremely effective method for rapid start-up in delivering reconstruction assistance by responding to a broader scope of post-crisis needs than if administered by a single organization.

The main challenges at the IRFFI level include:  Government ownership of IRFFI: IRFFI was established as a technocratic framework in the absence of a political commitment or framework due to instability at various points of time.  Lack of coordination between the World Bank and the UN: The full potential of the IRFFI to address the broad scope of recovery requirements and coordination in building the capacities of state institutions was undermined by lack of coordination between the World Bank and the UN.

 Donor Committee: At times the committee failed to provide strategic guidance to the IRFFI in response to the deteriorating security environment and to take decisions to reposition the fund in response to the changing environment.

At the project and programme levels, the review analyzed the appro- priateness, efficiency, and effectiveness of a sample of 17 projects (4 WB ITF and 13 UNDG ITF projects).

1.2. Role of the United Nations The role of the UN in Iraq is derived and defined from Security Council Resolutions (SCR) 1546 (2004) and SCR 1770 (2007) and is implemented through the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) led by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG). SCR 1770 expanded UNAMI‘s mandate to provide humanitarian, reconstruction, and development assistance. In August 2008, SCR 1830 was endorsed. The new SCR extended the mandate of the UNAMI for a period of 12 months from the date of the resolution. It also further determined that the SRSG and UNAMI, at the request of the GoI, shall continue to pursue their expanded mandate as stipulated in SCR 1770 (2007).

The United Nations Assistance Strategy for Iraq 2008–2010, developed jointly by the GoI and the United Nations Country Team (UNCT), defines how the UN will support Iraq‘s reconstruction, development, and humanitarian needs during the three- year period. It addresses the priority needs of the Iraqi people as defined in the National Development Strategy (NDS), International Compact with Iraq (ICI), and Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). The Strate- gy is currently being reviewed and updated by the UNCT.

The strategy, which focuses on capacity development and the provision Water of technical assistance, provides guidance to the UN and Participating UN Organizations in the development of activities in cooperation with Iraq and serves as a reference document that aims to:  Reinforce policy development and coordination at all levels of society across Iraq.  Support the foundation for sustainable reconstruction and development.  Provide assistance for durable solutions on humanitarian issues aris- ing in Iraq.  Strengthen partnerships between UN and other partners, particularly with the NGO community.

It further ensures that projects are results-oriented and accountable, as required under the Paris Declara- tion on Aid Effectiveness, which the GoI endorsed on 29 May 2008. As of 31 March 2009, there is approximately $135 million available in the UNDG ITF to support priority activities jointly identified in the 2008–2010 strategy. 1.2.1 UNCT Mid-Term Review The UNCT, with the support of the Resident Coordinator‘s Office (RCO), began a Mid-term Review (MTR) in 2009, during which time the UNCT Agencies and sectors reviewed the achievements at output level and the contributions to the UNCT sector outcomes based on the UN Assistance Strategy for Iraq 2008–2010. A number of sector workshops were held during which sector matrices were reviewed, including the review of outcomes, outputs, and indicators. Some minor changes were made to address emerging priorities, but overall the process ensured no major changes to the original scope of the 2008– 2010 Strategy. Building upon the MTR, the UNCT and RCO will begin the process of preparing the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for Iraq for the period 2011–2014.

1.3. UNDG ITF Closure At the seventh IRFFI Donor Committee meeting, hosted by the Government of Iraq in July 2008, donors agreed that it was an appropriate time to plan for the closure of IRFFI. The Donor Committee emphasized the importance of an orderly, efficient wind-up that would allow for the successful completion of all projects and programmes, and ensure compliance with UN and World Bank legal agreements and related conditions, without undermining long-term gains and results on the ground. The Donor Committee requested the UN and World Bank to provide the Executive Committee with a concept note outlining a final timeline and mechanism for closing the IRFFI. In response to this decision, a proposal was presented to the Donor Committee in advance of the eighth Donor meeting. The proposal included a recommendation for a final closing date for IRFFI, as well as cut-off dates for new donor contributions and approval of new projects by the UN and World Bank. The proposal and recommended timeline was supported by the Donor Committee at their eighth meeting on 18 February 2009.

In planning the closure of the UNDG ITF, the following compliance issues must be addressed and all conditions must be fulfilled. The conditions are contained within several documents that govern the operations of the IRFFI, namely the IRFFI TOR as well as the UNDG ITF‘s respective legal agreements. The conditions for closure are outlined below and include:  Termination and completion of financed projects.  Orderly conclusion.  Disposal of unutilized balance.  Final reporting obligations.

The UNDG ITF legal instruments include a Letter of Agreement (LOA) between the MDTF Office and donors, which sets out the terms and conditions governing the receipt and administration of donor contributions, as well as a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Participating UN Organizations, which sets out the duties and responsibilities of both signatories. 1.3.1 Termination and Completion of Financed Projects The IRFFI TOR and UNDG ITF LOA and MOU define termination as the time in which all projects have been completed, and all commitments and liabilities have been satisfied. Upon termination, the UNDG ITF LOA and MOU require holding unutilized balances following the completion of projects until all commitments and liabilities incurred in implementation of the projects have been satisfied. 1.3.2 Orderly Conclusion In line with the IRFFI TOR‘s requirements, the Donor Committee has requested that all project activities be brought to an orderly conclusion. The various agreements entered shall survive the termination date in order to permit an orderly conclusion.

The UNDG ITF LOA and MOU specifies that the obligations of the donors, Participating UN Organiza- tions, and Administrative Agent shall survive the LOA to permit the orderly conclusion of activities and completion of final reports; the withdrawal of personnel, funds, and property; the settlement of accounts between the parties; and contractual liabilities in respect of any subcontractors, consultants, or supplies. 1.3.3 Disposal of Unutilized Balance The disposal of unutilized Fund balances following the satisfactory completion of all commitments and liabilities differs between the WB ITF and UNDG ITF. The UNDG ITF LOA and MOU require the dis- poses of any remaining balances for a purpose mutually agreed upon by the donors, Steering Committee, Government of Iraq, Participating UN Organizations, and the Administrative Agent. 1.3.4 Final Reporting Obligations The following reporting is required, within six months following termination: to furnish the donors with an unaudited financial statement with respect to the aggregate amount contributed by all donors. The UNDG ITF requires that the following reporting obligations are fulfilled: 21

 Participating UN Organization reporting to Administrative Agent: o Final narrative and financial report to be provided no later than 30 April of the year following the financial closing of the project. o Final certified financial statement, to be provided no later than 30 June of the year following the financial closing of the project.

 Administrative Agent reporting to Donors: o Final consolidated narrative and financial report to be provided no later than 30 June of the year following the financial closing of the project activities. o Final consolidated certified financial statement to be provided no later than 30 days after the last date of the receipt of the financial statements from the Participating UN Organizations of the year following the financial closing of the project activities. o Financial report and final certified financial statements to be provided no later than 30 June of the year following the financial closing of the project activities.

1.3.5 Approved Timetable “Benchmarks” for Fund Closure Activity Timeline Donor contributions 30 June 2009 No new donor contributions shall be contributed after this date to enable the Par- ticipating UN Organizations and the Steering Committee to plan for the utilization of balance of available funds. Project approval 31 December 2009 Final date for approval of any new projects. Finalize contractual commitments 31 December 2010 As of 31 December 2010, Participating UN Organizations shall commit all funds received in support of the project work plan. Funds not committed by this date, will be returned to the MDTF Office for credit to the UNDG ITF Account. Projection of uncommitted funds 31 December 2010 Participating UN Organizations will provide a formal notification to MDTF Of- fice of the estimated uncommitted funds to be returned by 31 December 2010. Agreement on the utilization/disposal of June 2011 unspent funds/balance and modalities The donors, Steering Committee, Government of Iraq, Participating UN Organi- zations, and the Administrative Agent will mutually agree on how to util- ize/allocate the remaining balance of funds, which include remaining funds in the AA account, Participating UN Organization individual accounts, and undisbursed donor commitments. Project implementation complete and 2011–2012 satisfaction of commitments and liabilities Participating UN Organizations will complete project implementation between 2011–2012. Trust Fund termination The IRFFI TOR and UNDG ITF Letter of Agreement (LOA) and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) define termination as the time in which all projects have been completed, and all commitments and liabilities have been satisfied.

2. Governance Arrangements

2.1. United Nations Country Team (UNCT) Coordination Structure The UNCT coordination structure supports the thematic mandate emanating from Security Council Reso- lution (SCR) 1830 (2008) and previous SCRs. To coordinate the UNCT‘s work, eight thematic Sector Outcome Teams (SOTs) were established [education, water and sanitation, health and nutrition, housing and shelter, food security (agriculture, food assistance), protection, governance support, and economic reform and diversification, including infrastructure support]. The SOTs aim to increase strategic planning and programming.

To ensure continued interaction with the Government of Iraq (GoI) and alignment with Iraq‘s national priorities, the SOTs are represented in Baghdad by a Policy Group that maintains regular contact with relevant government counterparts. All UNDG ITF projects go through a thorough peer review process that involves the Policy Group, SOT leaders, World Bank, donors, and NGOs.

2.2. UNDG ITF Coordination Structure The UNDG ITF operates within the UNCT coordination structure to ensure inter-agency, donor, and government participation in identification, design, development, and approval as well as implementation and monitoring of the UNDG ITF activities. The UNDG ITF is also governed by the IRFFI Terms of Refer- ence (TOR) and the UNDG ITF Steering Committee TOR.

The following section outlines the current roles and processes, and how they contributed to the overall governance and accountability of the UNDG ITF. 2.2.1 UNDG ITF Steering Committee The Steering Committee coordinates and oversees the operations of the UNDG ITF and provide overall strategic guidance and oversight as well as making decisions on fund allocation. It is chaired by the Depu- ty Special Representative of the Secretary General (DSRSG), who is also the UN Resident Coordinator. The Committee is composed of the heads of each Participating UN Organization and two rotating donor representatives. The current donor representatives are the European Commission and the Government of Canada, who will serve for one year beginning September 2008. 2.2.2 UNDG ITF Steering Committee Support Office (SCSO) The mandate of the SCSO, under the supervision of the DSRSG, is to support and facilitate the work of the Steering Committee including proposal development, review, and approval processes. The SCSO tracks the status of the proposals, provides advice to the Participating UN Organizations and Steering Committee, and follows up on decisions taken by the various contributing structures to ensure the timely follow-up and adherence to agreed UNDG ITF procedures. 2.2.3 UNCT Baghdad Policy Group (BPG) The BPG is divided into four key pillars: essential social services; protection; governance; and economic development. The pillars are comprised of senior advisory staff from Participating UN Organizations and based in Baghdad to enable close cooperation with the GoI. In relation to the UNDG ITF, the BPG reviews draft proposals to ensure alignment with GoI priorities in relation to the National Development Strategy (NDS) and International Compact with Iraq (ICI), and will participate in the Peer Review Group. 2.2.4 Sector Outcome Teams (SOT) The SOTs are designed to increase strategic planning, programming, and coordination as well as provide for technical review and approval of projects, working closely with the relevant counterpart ministries and the GoI to achieve improved and equitable access to essential social services, strengthened civilian protection, accelerated and inclusive economic development, and strengthened governance. Each sector is chaired by a UN agency and Deputy Chair and includes other UN agencies whose mandates are in line 23

with the relevant SOT outcomes. Similarly, NGOs are encouraged to participate in their various sectors. SOTs are supported by a Sector Officer and Assistant provided by the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), but operating from the Sector Chair‘s Agency. 2.2.5 Peer Review Group (PRG) The PRG‘s primary responsibility is to provide an objective strategic review of programme proposals, ensuring transparency, programmatic coherence, and stakeholder involvement in the identification, design, and implementation of UN-supported activities in Iraq. The PRG does not conduct a technical review of proposals, because this is the primarily responsibility of the SOT. The PRG operates under the direct guidance and supervision of the DSRSG as Chair of the UNDG ITF Steering Committee, or his/her designate. It is comprised of the BPG, UNAMI and GoI representatives, two voluntary members of the donor community, and NGOs. 2.2.6 Iraq Strategic Review Board (ISRB) The ISRB provides overall policy and strategic guidance for donor assistance and is the final approving authority for all programming including IRRFI/UNDG ITF funded projects. Chaired by the Ministry of Planning and Development Cooperation (MoPDC), the ISRB reviews all IRFFI/UNDG ITF projects at the concept stage and before they are submitted to the UNDG ITF Steering Committee for final approval. 2.2.7 Iraq Ministry of Planning and Development Cooperation (MoPDC) The MoPDC is the primary interlocutor of the GoI with the IRFFI and, as Chair of the IRFFI Executive Committee and the ISRB, plays an important oversight and advisory role. It ensures that resources are applied and equitably distributed according to Iraq‘s prioritized needs. The MoPDC works closely with the Ministry of Finance (MoF) to ensure conformity with the overall budgetary framework, and maintains an overview of the project development and implementation processes of the UNDG ITF. 2.2.8 Administrative Agent/Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) Office The role of the MDTF Office, as the Administrative Agent for the UNDG ITF, includes the receipt, administration, and management of contributions from donors; disbursement of funds to the Participating UN Organizations, in accordance with the decisions of the Steering Committee; and consolidation and dissemination of progress reports to the MoPDC and donors. The consolidated report produced by the MDTF Office presents the progress of the UNDG ITF funded projects, narrative and financial, aligned to the SOT structure.

2.3. UNDG ITF Project Approval Process The current UNDG ITF proposal review and approval process is summarized below:

1. Participating UN Organization, in consultation with the GoI partner(s), prepares a Programme or Project Concept Note (PCN) that is in line with the ICI and NDS, and receives a letter of endorsement from the relevant government partner(s). 2. The PCN with the accompanying government endorsement letter is reviewed by the relevant SOT, endorsed, and the relevant documents are forwarded to the SCSO. 3. The SCSO documents the relevant information and forwards it to the ISRB, which then has a five- day ‗no objection‘ period to respond and endorse the PCN. 4. With the ISRB endorsement, the Participating UN Organization proceeds to develop a full proposal, with the relevant line ministries, and submit it to the relevant SOT for review. The SOT will consult with the SCSO and present a final document that is then submitted to the PRG. 5. The PRG reviews the proposal and either endorses, endorses with comments, or rejects it. 6. Once a proposal is endorsed by the PRG, the proposal is forwarded to the ISRB (with the exception of electoral proposals, which are fast-tracked*). 7. Following ISRB approval, the SCSO informs the Steering Committee Chair, and a meeting of the Steering Committee is convened within two weeks of ISRB approval.

8. The representative of the Participating UN Organization and SOT leader present the final proposal to the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee will approve, approve with comments, or reject the proposal. Approved proposals are duly signed and forwarded to the MDTF Office for release of funds within one week of signature.

* Fast Track procedure enables critical time-bound initiatives to be processed for review and approval on a priority basis.

2.4. Monitoring, Reporting, and Evaluation & Audit 2.4.1 Monitoring Monitoring of the UNDG ITF activities takes place at several levels. At the agency level, ongoing monitoring of project implementation by Participating UN Organizations is done in collaboration with government and national partners. The UNDG ITF Steering Committee also monitors at the project, thematic, and fund level to track progress and the Administrative Agent monitors to ensure compliance with Memo- randum of Understanding (MOU) reporting requirements.

In October 2008, a new Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) officer joined the SCSO. The M&E officer is part of the Resident Coordinator/Steering Committee Monitoring and Evaluation Unit that is mandated to plan, develop, and implement an integrated M&E system for the UN Assistance Strategy for Iraq with a focus on the UNDG ITF. The M&E officer reports directly to the Head of the Steering Committee SCSO and provides direct support to Participating UN Organizations to ensure that each project has a good monitoring and evaluation framework in place including a logical framework for monitoring and reporting on progress. During the reporting period, in addition to providing day-to-day technical assistance to the Par- ticipating UN Organizations, the M&E officer and MDTF Office have collaborated in managing the SOT reporting process including strengthening and harmonizing the report structure for the SOT reports as well as developing new project location maps, developed by the Office for the Coordination of Humanita- rian Affairs (OCHA), for all UNDG ITF approved projects and joint programmes. The maps are now incorporated into the individual sector reports contained in Section 4. 2.4.2 Reporting On 18 February 2009, the IRFFI Donor Committee agreed to align UNDG ITF six-month reporting timelines with UNDG annual reporting standards. The consolidated narrative and financial reports will now be prepared annually and submitted to donors, government, and the UNCT by 30 May. Further to this development, the MDTF Office introduced the MDTF Reporting Portal in early 2009. The Portal provides an automated system for both annual financial and narrative reporting that responds to recommendations that have emerged from IRFFI evaluations and reviews by increasing transparency and data management. The Portal utilizes UNEX to enable Participating UN Organizations to uploaded annual expenditure data using a single Excel spreadsheet containing all data pertaining to MDTFs administered by the MDTF Office. The 2008 expenditure was uploaded in line with the 2006 six harmonized UNDG budget and expenditure categories. The Portal also provides a single window for the collection, tracking, and reporting of non-financial performance information that will provide Steering Committee members, relevant recipient governments, and staff from Participating UN Organizations access to a simple and easy-to-use state-of-the-art interface to view and analyse the information pertaining to each MDTF and individual Joint Programmes. A third component of the recent reporting improvements introduced by the MDTF Office is a new MDTF1 General Ledger Business Unit (MDTF1 GLBU) that enables ―pass-through‖ funds administered by the MDTF Office as Administrative Agent, on behalf of Participating UN Organizations, to be recorded on a separate ledger. This further strengthens the MDTF Office‘s ability to provide the highest level of accountability, transparency, and audit traceability.

In summary, the UNDG ITF reporting schedule is as follows and made public on the IRFFI/UNDG ITF website:

 Quarterly: o Project approval, fund transfer, and agency financial commitments and disbursements/expenditure. o Project progress summaries providing updates on activity and financial implementation. o Detailed postings of goods/ services procured, by whom (supplier/country), value, and procurement method.  Annually: Individual project-level progress reports prepared by Participating UN Organizations, thematic sector progress reports, and consolidated Administrative Agent progress reports.  Periodically: Audits, assessments, reviews, surveys, and evaluations. 2.4.3 Evaluation & Audit To date, the UNDG ITF has undergone two independent reviews at the Fund level, one UN audit of the Administrative Agent, and one donor verification mission. The first review, completed by Pricewater- houseCoopers (PWC) in April 2006, provided an assessment and advice on the pertinence of mechanisms used for operationalizing the UNDG ITF during its set-up, as well as lessons learned and best practices that can be applied to similar operations in the future. The PWC evaluation confirmed that there was overall compliance with the IRFFI TOR and that the public website (www.irffi.org) took innovative steps to ensure transparency and disclosure of information, making it a ‗best practice‘ in development.

The second review, which included both UNDG ITF and the World Bank Iraq Trust Fund (WB ITF), was finalized and approved by the IRFFI Donor Committee in February 2009. It was completed by Scanteam of Norway and provided a stock-taking of the current IRFFI portfolio and the status of a sample of projects to determine whether the IRFFI was on track and having a positive impact. For details see section 1.1.2.

The United Nations Board of Auditors (UNBoA), in its capacity as external auditor of the UNDP, provided an independent assessment of the performance of the UNDP MDTF Office in its role as Adminis- trative Agent for the UNDG ITF. The period reviewed was 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2006. The report found that ―the MDTF Office has undertaken certain positive steps beyond its duties specified in the MOU and Letter of Agreement (LOA). These steps serve to improve transparency of operations particularly in a difficult operating environment such as Iraq. As an example, the assessment cited the MDTF Office public website where a range of information and data on the operations of the UNDG ITF, such as detailed contract award data, is posted.

The UNBoA did however refer to a gap in monitoring and recommend that the UNDG ITF Steering Committee consider ways to implement processes to monitor projects executed by implementing partners and to evaluate the reasonableness of submissions made by the implementing agencies. The European Commission Verification Mission (2008) found no notable compliance issues with the administration of the Fund.

In planning for the closure of the IRFFI and UNDG ITF, an extensive ―lessons learned‖ exercise is scheduled to begin in 2009; it will be implemented in a multi-phase approach to ensure a 360° assessment of the UNDG ITF so that relevant, replicable lessons can be extracted. At the IRFFI level, the Donor Committee is considering undertaking an evaluation and audit based on a Terms of Reference that is jointly prepared by the donors, Steering Committee, Government of Iraq, Participating UN Organizations, and the Administrative Agent; such as evaluation is unlikely to take place, however, until the termination of the IRFFI.

3.2.3 Operationally and Financially Closed Projects and Joint Programmes The following tables provide information pertaining to projects that are operationally closed as of 31 March 2009. The confirmation of closure is communicated by the Participating UN Organization to the 31

MDTF Office and UNDG ITF Steering Committee. A project that is implemented by one Participating UN Organization is counted as operationally closed when the specific Agency implementing the project informs the MDTF Office and UNDG ITF Steering Committee that the all activities have been completed.

As of 30 September 2008, a total of 64 projects were reported as operationally closed. Of the 161 projects and joint programmes that have been approved as of 31 March 2009, the number of operationally closed projects and joint programmes has increased to 80, an increase of 16. In this scenario, a joint programme (implemented by two or more Agencies) is not counted as operationally closed until all Agencies confirm that activities have been completed. To date four joint programmes have closed, which include B1-19, F8- 04, C9-10, and B1-22.

Following operational closure, Participating UN Organizations must submit a final narrative project report to the MDTF Office based on the Agency‘s own internal rules and regulations for closure. In general, Agencies have a 12-month window to complete all financial obligations and produce the final narrative report.

Table 3.10 lists each individual Agency level project that is confirmed as operationally closed. A total of 96 projects out of 213 individual approved Agency projects, including joint programmes, as of 31 March 2009, are operationally closed. From the 96 operationally closed projects, the MDTF Office has received approximately 61 final narrative reports. Agencies that have submitted final reports are indicated in the table below with a ‗√‘. The value of the 96 closed Agency projects is approximately $729,532,971 following the return of utilized project balances to the MDTF Office.

A total of eight projects have financially closed as of 31 March 2009 including A7-02, C9-04, C9-10b&c, C10-02, F8-02, F8-03, and G11-07, and the MDTF Office anticipates that a significant number of the projects that have submitted final narrative reports will submit final certified financial reports in the coming reporting period.

3.3. Implementation Challenges Of the 75 project reports received from Participating UN Organizations, all but seven projects listed capacity building as one of the main outcomes to be achieved. Even larger infrastructure and water and sanitation projects call for capacity building as an integral aspect of the projects to help build sustainable management of the various public works. Implementing capacity-building activities has its challenges, particularly for the Iraq UN Country Team (UNCT) given its remote access both when working from Amman and often from within Iraq. Agencies have learned to mitigate many of the challenges presented by distance by means of strengthened project management committees, use of Iraqi third-party project management and monitoring, and more frequent communication. Due largely to security concerns, however, agencies continue to encounter delays in recruitment at all levels, centrally of technical specialists. Often the recruitment delays have led to delays in project initiation. For example, the Local Area Devel- opment Project (LADP) programme struggled to secure a full-time programme manager as well as other technical advisors. This impeded the project‘s ability to facilitate necessarily extensive front-end consultation processes before initiating programming. After overcoming this hurdle, implementation rates increased from 20% to 70percent during the reporting period, according to the most recent progress report.

Agencies have acknowledged that the time required to build capacity of authorities, particularly at the local levels given the security situation and accessibility, has been unrealistic. Projects that were original- ly designed for an 18-month period are taking a minimum of 24 months.

Other challenges that are not easily addressed by the UN include the ability of government counterparts to accept and receive technical and capacity assistance. As indicated in several previous progress reports, building capacity at the individual level is frustrated by high staff turnover at the most senior levels. Staff turnover undermines multi-phase training activities aimed at building sustained capacity because often the same staff does not participate in successive trainings. Mid-level staff that receive training complain that they do not have authority to implement lessons learned. Turnover inevitably leads to project delays due to the absence of decision-making in areas such as nominating candidates to receive training, identifying and changing priorities, and identifying project sites. FAO has experienced lengthy nomination processes (three to four months) working with the Ministry of Agriculture. On several occasions UN-HABITAT cited problems such as securing authority to identify and allocate land for housing, addressing issues of jurisdiction, developing statutory plans, and interfacing with nascent ministries whose processes and procedures for decision-making are emergent. Newly established ministries and entities, such as the State Ministry of Women Affairs (SMOWA), suffer even more from limited human and financial resources.

At the institutional level, capacity development takes considerable time. Training individuals has contributed to strengthening institutions; however, programmes aimed at institutions, such as reform and development of structures, legislation, policy, and coordination, continue to progress slowly given the challenges mentioned above. For example, in the absence of unified medical management bodies, WHO requires more time to coordinate stakeholders to develop policy and priorities. This is further complicated by lack of trained staff and low salary scales for biomedical personnel.

Centralized decision-making continues to complicate efforts to develop and strengthen coordination mechanisms between national, governorate, and district levels. Usually the source of the problem is the lack of existing systems and, often, political will. For example, the Ministry of Council Representative Affairs (MoCRA) was unable to establish cooperation with regional parliaments, so coordination had to be taken over by UNOPS in an effort to keep activities moving forward. While UNOPS may lend such support to ensure that training takes place as scheduled, MoCRA must provide the leadership and management to sustain long-term coordination.

Most of the UNCT‘s work is done through consultative processes to ensure government ownership and sustained capacity. To build sustained capacity and broaden participation, materials must be translated and transmitted in Arabic, which requires more time between consultations and adds to overall length of programmes. There is also limited choice among institutions that can provide training in Arabic, so more time must go into such processes.

Inadequate community consultation forced several water and sanitation projects to change locations and identify new sites, which required new assessments, bill of quantities, technical specifications, and RFPs. Changing locations is a costly and time-consuming process that could be easily avoided. Meanwhile, consultation challenges with government counterparts are also in play. To address this, the UNDP employed an audio/video/telecom (AVT) satellite-based system to communicate live with Mussayib station staff. Infrastructure projects also experience delays due to local contractors not completing agreed-upon work due to low financial capacity. During the reporting period, UNICEF had to terminate two contractors and identify new contractors to complete work. Common issues that lead to delays in completing projects include lengthy governmental procedures in releasing payments and issuing take-over certificates.

The Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) has experienced challenges in pio- neering the Smart Community Project (involving municipalities in planning). The work has proven more difficult than anticipated due to the deficient and uneven capacity of staff in municipalities and universities, as well as unease with shifting traditional approaches to include work on community development issues. ESCWA has learned to subject all partners to special Activity Agreements in an effort to maintain continuity throughout implementation.

Procurement challenges persist. For example, agencies often receive bids that exceed budgeted resources, so projects must be retendered under new conditions. Also, there has been experience with inadequately prepared RFPs that are missing critical work components, so they must be prepared afresh and retendered. Retendering can take up to 12 months, as experienced by WHO in working with the Ministry of Health.

Other recurring challenges for UN organizations working in Iraq include: the necessity for remote-based management limits access to project localities for tendering processes, monitoring, and coordination; inadequate and unreliable electricity and communication infrastructure; delays resulting from acquiring cus- toms exemption documents for shipped goods, which can take between two to five months; shortages in local markets; and fluctuations of market prices.

3.4. Assessments, Studies, and Evaluations Security concerns continue to limit the ability of the UN and its partners to collect comprehensive data, affecting the design of interventions. However, Participating UN Organizations and sectors continue to generate information to inform their work and programmes. Essential information is gathered from con- 36

ducting surveys, studies, evaluations, and assessments in collaboration with national partners and to the extent possible compiling existing information.

The following table is compiled from inputs received from the individual agency progress reports. The assessments, survey, studies, and evaluations shown in Table 3.11 provide qualitative and quantitative information to inform UNDG ITF projects and contribute to their effectiveness. The list is not exhaustive, but rather a sample of the range of information recently generated within the UNDG ITF-funded projects.

3.5. Project Implementation Highlights Government Of the 161 approved projects as of 31 March 2009, 80 projects were confirmed as closed, leaving 81 active projects, several of Counterparts which were newly approved. A total of 75 project progress reports Ministry of Agriculture were reviewed as well as several final project reports. During the Ministry of Construction and review, capacity development activities and employment genera- Housing tion activities were analyzed; the resulting information and data are presented below. Ministry of Education (and Directorates and Higher Education) 3.5.1 Capacity Building Ministry of Electricity A total of 75 project reports were reviewed; all but seven of them Ministry of Environment had capacity building as one of the main outcomes to be achieved. Ministry of Health (and Directorates) Even when institutional and capacity building were not highlighted Ministry of Industry as a primary objective, they were typically incorporated into a ‗twin track approach‘ that involved providing institutional and in- Ministry of Justice dividual capacity building while simultaneously responding to ur- Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs gent needs and the provision of social services within the various thematic areas. Over the past several reporting periods, capacity Ministry of Displacement and Migration building has steadily claimed increasing investment and the expec- tation is that this trend will continue in the near term.

UNCT partners and recipients of capacity-development programming include communities, civil society, local and international 39

NGOs, cadres of practitioners, line ministries, government and private institutions, the private sector, local authorities, and state boards and committees. The World Bank and others are working together to draw upon comparative advantages.

The entities that are highlighted above are working with multiple UN organizations to access a broad scope of expertise to ensure comprehensive technical support across ministries. The following paragraphs provide highlights of the capacity-building and institutional-strengthening programming that is currently being implemented. Agencies generally use two or more capacity-building training techniques. The most common initiatives include training of trainers (ToT), on-the-job training, classroom training, and study tours, which take place both inside and out of Iraq. Given visa challenges and that request by government officials to conduct most training inside Iraq, capacity programming has increasingly been taking place inside Iraq.

Audits and procurement. The Board of Supreme Audit (BSA) through UNDP trained 269 auditors in 10 short courses; 24 information technology (IT) experts were trained. Six senior auditors attended training in the National Audit Office of the United Kingdom (NAO/UK) and 19 auditors participated in a two- week ToT course in procurement in Turin, Italy. A one-week meeting between the BSA President and NAO/UK was held in London.

Rule of law and human rights. Officers from Iraq‘s judicial sector are the focus of the UNDP, which has recently provided capacity support through training to: 13 people at the Iraqi Bar Association and School of Law, and five judges in information technology. Thirteen lawyers, academics, and other jurists from Kurdistan were trained in the use of the upgraded Iraq Legal Database (ILD). Some 18 staff from the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Interior were trained on human rights standards. Workshops took place with the Council of Representatives to improve their drafting skills.

Collectively some 269 participants took part in 13 workshops and one study tour to South Africa; 101 civil society organizations were trained in facilitation; 150 rule-of-law workshops were held; and women parliamentarians were trained in drafting legislation.

Local and provincial government. UNOPS is providing training in procurement, contracting, conflict management, and municipal planning and management. UNDP is building capacity of newly established Provincial Councils in South Iraq. Some 12 local government staff were trained in information management, analysis, and planning. Three capacity development workshops provided training in aid management to 35 ministry employees.

Electoral processes. As a part of the UNOPS organized Electoral Education Campaign, elections networks were developed, directly reaching out to over 260, 000 Iraqis with information and capacity building activities promoting engagement with the electoral process. In addition, over 6000 opinion leaders at the community level participated in training workshops assisting them in further raising electoral awareness in their communities.

Constitutional review and stakeholder advocacy. Support to the legislature is extensive and ongoing. The Constitutional Review Committee and other parliament committees are equipping staff with advisory services through expert consultants from UNOPS, UNDP, and staff from the State Ministry of Women Affairs (SMOWA). UNIFEM also trained Members of Parliament and officials to mainstream gender in governmental policies and ensure responsive gender and child budgeting. As part of the joint programme to strengthen constitutional processes and good governance, UNICEF has provided ToT on the rights of children and youth to 24 participants from youth centres and representatives from the ministries. The master trainers have since provided similar training to 430 others. Some 170 government counterparts and youths have received training on human rights-based approaches to programming.

Statistics and information technology. Several agencies across sectors including the World Food Pro- gramme (WFP), UNIFEM, and ESCWA are building the capacity of the Center Office for Statistics and Information Technology (COSIT) and the Kurdistan Regional Statistics Office (KRSO). COSIT is now leading the production of reports in food security and vulnerability, mainstreaming gender, and labor statistics. More than 55 statisticians took part in workshops on mainstreaming gender in labor statistics recently in Lebanon and Turin, and ESCWA is supporting fellowships to support COSIT. In the area of food security, 400 persons have participated in ToT.

Local planning and economic development. UN-HABITAT has initiated preparatory work to train 130 Planners and Economists from the Ministry of Municipalities and Public Works (MoMPW) and the Min- istry of Planning and Development Cooperation (MoPDC) in local economic development, urban design, community planning, environment, and transport. The training included study tours.

Water management and sanitation. The MoMPW benefits from extensive training of its technical staff through support from several UN agencies. During the reporting period, some 30 technicians and 10 engineers were trained in water management and sanitation, sponsored by UNOPS. Some 50 MoMPW staff participated in waste management training, and worked to prepare and review draft legislation. UN- HABITAT trained 20 engineers from the Water Directorate in Erbil on best practices on operations and maintenance.

Information technology. ESCWA has supported revitalizing the private sector‘s involvement through the establishment of training centers with MoMPW. Some 555 trainees completed courses in computer literacy, internet use, and language learning. MoMPW will be given the process and facilities to manage future trainings that will in turn be utilized by the private sector.

Housing and shelter. UN-HABITAT undertook ToT for 23 staff on six special courses. These Master Trainers were subsequently used by the Ministry of Construction and Housing (MoCH) Training and Knowledge Center to train 102 staff, using the training manuals provided as part of the ToT. Working with the Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MoDM) and the MoCH, UN-HABITAT has trained staff in 26 governorate authorities and municipalities to address returnee and displacement shelter needs and solutions.

Food security and agriculture. To strengthen the agriculture sector and to increase employment and livelihoods, extensive training in a variety of technical areas is ongoing with support from FAO and UN- IDO. The Ministry of Water Resources (MoWR) is supported through the development of ToTs to provide training in the operation and maintenance of traditional irrigation schemes. Capacity building of staff and entrepreneurs in date processing as well as management and marketing is being done through FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA). Staff working for the Board of Fish Resources and Development within MoA is receiving training in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and aquaculture, management, disease diagnosis, and nutrition to strengthen inland fisheries. And the vegetable seed industry is being strengthened through a series of three study tours for staff as well as training for over 160 staff both inside and outside Iraq.

Vocational training. Working with the MoA and Ministry of Industry, ToT are being used to strengthen community capacity in post-harvest and income-generating activities through the establishment of Voca- tional Training Centers (VTC), where 1,000 people in Anbar will be trained annually in metal works, wool cutting, agro-mechanics, and food processing. UN-HABITAT has completed training 316 unemployed out of school young people on various construction trades.

Environment. UNEP is working to strengthen the management capacity of the Ministry of Environment (MoEn) through training, equipment, technical assistance, and supervision to produce baseline information for use in setting priorities and policies. It has organized 50 staff from MoEn to participate in a 21- day technical experts training.

Power stations. UNDP also working with MoEn to provide capacity building in its large infrastructure projects as a means of ensuring sustainable management of the various facilities. Its activities with the National Dispatch Center and the gas power stations in Mosul, Taji and Mussayib are largely complete. Significant emphasis has been placed on training in maintenance, installation, repair, planning, instrumen- tation and control maintenance of thermal power stations, welding technology, and cable jointing, to men- tion a few areas. Over 173 engineers and other technical staff have recently received training. Training has included on-the-job training, study tours to South Africa, maintenance training in Germany and Swe- den, and hardware and software training in the USA. Mosul site engineers have undergone extensive training at the manufacturer‘s facility in Japan and others in Amman on commissioning units.

Rehabilitating sewerage and water works. Rehabilitation of sewerage and water facilities by UNICEF has included recent training of 23 government staff in Basra and 29 in Kerbala in management and operation of sanitation facilities, sewers, and sewage pumping stations; waste water sampling and analysis; and planning and design of sewage treatment plants. UNICEF additionally has supported MoEn and MoMPW with training of some 1,120 technical and managerial staff in water-quality monitoring.

Teacher training. The Ministry of Education (MoEd) is working with many UN agencies including UN- ESCO, ESCWA, WHO, and UNICEF. UNESCO has a number of ongoing capacity-building initiatives including a ToT in Teacher Education for Sustained Quality Education. Over 308 participants from the Colleges of Education and Science will take part in the ToT to learn new teaching methodologies and curriculum reform. A teacher training network and 10 fellowships for Iraqis to complete a master‘s degree programme are also being established. The MoEd has further been provided with technical assistance in: (i) development of a comprehensive national policy on non-formal education and (ii) strategic planning, policy formulation, and management education. Some 56 staff were trained in data analysis, strategic planning, and project design; 43 senior staff were trained in planning and management, 8 technical staff were trained on Educational Management Information Systems (EMIS); and 18 were trained in text book development and methodology. In the area of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), 10 MoEd staff traveled to Morocco to receive training in formulating policy and strategic planning.

Distance learning. Strengthening technical and vocational skills through training to all Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) public structures is ongoing work for UNESCO, which has trained 43 ToTs and 53 curricula developers. Over 150 educational specialists for MoEd and 20 from the College of Education, as well as 80 radio and television technicians, have been trained to use distance learning tools and curricula as means of reaching further into communities.

Education management and gender. UNICEF‘s work with the MoEd has led to training of 540 teachers in 200 schools in gender-sensitive teaching. Further, 187 principals and 23 education supervisors in 200 schools were trained in management and leadership, and parent-teacher associations (PTAs) in 200 schools learned about safety and privacy of girls.

Labor market studies. In support of employment, ten groups of staff from the national Committee for Employment are being trained to carry out studies of the labor market and to work in vocational training centers. Entrepreneurial skills to start up new businesses, selection and purchasing of new equipment, and mentoring, are all part of efforts to develop capacity within the Government to support strengthening the private sector.

Business development and women’s participation in governance. During the reporting period, the Lo- cal Area Development Project (LADP) joint programme focused activities in Suleimaniyah and Hillah. ILO and UNOPS are collaborating in providing training on business counseling for over 55 people who are learning to start up and manage businesses, and 43 NGOs have received training on women‘s economic empowerment. WHO is preparing to train 450 teachers and 450 medical staff in MoEd and MoH along with 500 health professionals and 500 community leaders, while UN-HABITAT is training 150

unemployed youth and 27 contractors in Hillah and 169 youth and 50 contractors in Suleimaniyah. UN- IFEM trained local officials and NGOs on how to enhance women‘s participation in local governance and how to integrate gender issues in local development plans.

Health education and case management. WHO has sustained its efforts to provide broad capacity development working with the Ministry of Health (MoH) during the reporting period. Some 150 teachers and school staff were trained on the health-promoting-school initiative in 46 schools in all governorates and 150 teachers were trained on detection of visual defects. Some 162 doctors and paramedics were trained on health education. Another 75 health professionals received training in areas of ambulance management and pre-hospital emergency medical services, blood transfusion services, and basic and advanced life support. To support capacity in the biomedical area, approximately 600 technology personnel and 1,581 officials have been trained in areas related to communicable-diseases prevention and control. UN- ICEF and WHO have collectively supported 43 trainings for 1,286 people in rapid response for Avian and Pandemic Influenza in 15 governorates. 3.5.2 Employment Generation As a cross cutting issue, mainstreaming employment generation and achieving higher employment levels is a joint responsibility between the UNCT and the Government of Iraq. The Economic Reform and Di- versification sector (ERDSOT) provides the overall leadership for the UNCT‘s programming to ensure that the UN Iraq Assistance Strategy, which focuses efforts on building a more conducive environment for small and medium enterprises, is supported. The strategy further mandates the ERDSOT to consoli- date a vision and plan for sustainable private sector development including the promotion of employment policies. Vocational and entrepreneurial training programs, on-the job training and wage subsidy schemes, career counseling services, and poverty reduction are activities streamlined into many of the UNCT programmes.

UNDG ITF projects are supporting employment generation through several methods including short- and long-term employment as well as (i) building capacity and institutions, (ii) supporting construction and rehabilitation, and (iii) establishing training institutions that contribute to strengthening the work force in the long-term. In December 2008, the UNDG ITF Steering Committee approved a multi-phase, multi- agency joint programme for $32 million. The ―Private Sector Development Programme for Iraq‖ will be implemented in three phases by seven agencies. The programme is designed to create and enable an effective, coherent and comprehensive framework for private sector development in Iraq at the national and governorate levels in three priority governorates. One of the main achievements shall be sustainable and increased employment opportunities.

In reviewing the UNDG ITF ongoing activities, 28 of the 75 progress reports that were reviewed for this analysis describe how the projects and programmes are contributing to employment generation. This is happening either immediately during implementation or in the future through improving the capacities of industries that are catering to employment generation. A consolidation of data provided in the individual Agency reports indicated that approximately 1,811 workers (including part-time and full-time, short-term and long-term skilled and unskilled labourers, contractors, and skilled trades, professionals working in health, social services, and technocrats) were employed during the reporting period as a result of ongoing projects. Furthermore, a total of 849,580 work days of employment were provided through the ongoing projects and joint programmes.

Some employment is immediate however considerable resources are being invested in building long-term capacity to develop and maintain an educated, skilled, work force, for example, by means of vocation centers and curriculum development. As outlined in the previous section, considerable investment has been made into vocational and entrepreneurial training programs and on-the-job-training and career counseling services in order to strengthen the Iraqi workforce. This is part of a comprehensive and coordinated effort to reduce unemployment and poverty.

Examples of ongoing contributions included:

Agriculture. The agricultural sector is the largest employer in Iraq. As such, the UNCT Food Security, Agriculture and Food Assistance Sector is mandated to promote agro-industrial value chains and rural livelihoods. Some 24 projects are directly contributing to the sector through agriculture, water resources, rural development and mine action. Through the promotion of self-employment, cottage industries, micro-industries as well as the rehabilitation of industries such as seed, fish and livestock, employment potential is being increased.

UNIDO and FAO are building capacity that will assist 2,000 households with improved technology in post harvest activities as well as training 600 young people in marketing and entrepreneurship to start their own business. WHO, FAO and UNIDO are collectively supporting rebuilding the food safety and food processing industries. Through this ongoing project, 228 seasonal and short-term laborers and professionals have benefited from employment.

Irrigation. Rehabilitation works provide the largest number of short-term employment opportunities that are quantified by the number of labor days worked by an individual. Some 200,000 days of labor have been provided through rehabilitating irrigation systems that will result in addition of 1900 hectares of farmable land.

Construction and infrastructure development. UNESCO employed 350 workers and UN-HABITAT has supported 3,000 construction workers in solid waste projects. The construction of Basrah‘s Children‘s Hospital provides employment to 600 labourers and 17 national contractors. Following construction, approximately 510 long-term hospital personnel will be employed and 90 site managers. Other sewage rehabilitation works in Basrah are supporting approximately 19,854 person days of employment for both skilled and unskilled workers. UNDP activities relating to the supply of water in various communities providing 15,000 workdays plus 21,150 workdays by generating commercial activity and employment for local consultants and contractors. In the area of health and nutrition, the rehabilitation of facilities by WHO has contributed to 43 jobs created through subcontracting private companies to carry out the work.

UNESCO has supported employment for over 200 who people have been employed in the rebuilding of the Samara Shrine. UNESCO is also working with the Ministry of Education to provide courses in Eng- lish and computers. The rehabilitation of Samarra General Hospital by UNESCO and UNDP will provide employment for 400 workers, and rehabilitation of water distribution systems in collaboration with the MoMPW provided construction work to 120 workers over a nine month period.

Business development. ILO and UNOPS are investing in long term employment creation through training on management and business counseling to start up businesses. Some 250 newly established small and medium size businesses are receiving loans and training. As highlighted in Section 3.5.1, above, in Hillah and Suleimaniyah three vocational training centers are being established to support unemployed youth and local contractors. The Agencies are also jointly implementing a skills development programme that has employed 110 Iraqis.

Electoral processes. Election related activities have also provided short-term employment and some economic activity to the general population. For instance, for election observation 3,500 vehicles and drivers where hired for 10 days. UNOPS, through its work with the Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC) provided temporary work to 20,000 election monitors and 500 media monitors. Another 27 full- time and 12 part-time and 5 expert positions were employed in the period in relation to activities with the Constitutional Review Committee. Other activities with the IHEC through the Electoral Education Cam- paign supported 50 full-time positions as well as dozens of short-term positions associated with the UN- OPS Electoral Education Campaign Project that provides NGOs with grants.

Health and Nutrition. In the health and nutrition sector, most of the projects that involve physical rehabilitation have led to employment generation for seasonal labourers who are assisting contractors to carry out civil engineering works. Although it is difficult to give a precise figure of persons who have been employed as a result of the health related projects, a rough estimate indicates that there have been an average of 80 to 100 seasonal labors per project who were employed for a period ranging from 3 to 24 months. This is in addition to an average of 5 to 10 per project of specialized professionals (engineers, architects and administrative and finance support staff) employed by local contractors during the implementation of construction works.

4. Sector Outcome Team Reports

4.1. Sector Summary Although the eight UNDG ITF sectors report improvements in the security situation over the past six months, security is still the overarching operational constraint affecting project implementation and staff access to projects. The past six month have also seen a marked increase in the returns of internally displaced persons (IDPs, 21,000 between June and September 2008). This is taking place in the context of drastic underfunding in three sectors of immediate relevance to returnees: Education, Water and Sanita- tion, and Housing.

Institutional strengthening through training, data collection and management, and policy development characterize sector activities during this period in most cases. Professional networks of lawyers, judges, physicians, scientists, and educators received trainings in Iraq and abroad. The Independent Human Rights Commission was established; UNIFEM drafted a study to transform the State Ministry of Women Affairs into a full Ministry; the National Housing Policy continues to be developed; and UNICEF facilitated development of a new Iraqi children‘s rights network. The Agriculture and Food sector undertook three foundational nationwide surveys (food security, livestock, and small and medium enterprise [SME]).

The following section provides a brief summary of project activities at the sector level:

Education: This sector is operating at 23 percent of the costs that are required for meeting basic educational needs. During the reporting period, the sector supported a total of 26 UNDG ITF projects, of which 9 remain active and 17 are operationally closed. Of the $201.62 million in funding (16 percent of total), $163.87 million (81 percent) has been commitments by Participating UN Organizations while $139.20 million (69 percent) reflect disbursements as of 31 December 2008. Over the past six months, activities have included policy strategy development, school rehabilitation, and teacher training. The non-formal education strategy paper was finalized, National Education Strategy framework development continued, and a strategy paper was developed for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Implementa- tion in Iraq. Some 122 schools were comprehensively rehabilitated, and water and sanitation facilities were upgraded in 116 schools, benefiting approximately 118,770 children (60,570 girls and 58,200 boys). The Accelerated Learning Programme (ALP) reached over 36,000 out-of-school children and youth (30 percent female participation). Trainings and capacity development have ranged from special education to peacekeeping along with all the basic subjects.

Water and Sanitation: The sector has supported 16 UNDG ITF projects, of which 7 are active and 9 operationally closed. Total approved funding is $73.17 million (6 percent of total), with $59.26 million (81) in contract commitments and $49.28 million (67 percent) in disbursements. The sector reports a 5 percent gap between planned and allocated annual budgets at the government level, with international funding far below actual requirements. During the reporting period, efforts were focused on capacity building and water treatment. Trainings are pegged at 67 percent completion and range from training on laboratory equipment and statistical analysis (Al-Karama Treatment Plant) to the design, operation, and maintenance of water networks (Ministry of Municipalities and Public Works, Erbil and Suleimaniyah). Short-term (1– 3 month) emergency water trucking continued as the main source of drinking water in risk- and conflict- prone areas and IDP locations, amounting to approximately 285,000 M3. Over 640,000 people benefited, plus six main hospitals in Baghdad. The sector distributed five million water purification tablets, 25,000 collapsible jerry cans to increase families‘ storage capacities, and 24,000 hygiene kits; installed 70 communal water storage tanks of 5,000 and 10,000 liter capacity; and distributed over 75,000 oral rehydration salt (ORS) sachets.

Health and Nutrition: This sector has 22 UNDG ITF projects, of which 12 are active and 10 are operationally closed. Overall, the sector has received a total of 173.19 million in funding (14 percent of total), 46

with 150.53 million (87%) in contract commitments and $110.58 million (64%) in disbursements. A food security survey (completed in November 2008) covered nearly 26,000 households across all 115 districts of Iraq‘s 18 provinces. Two rounds of Polio National Immunization Days (autumn 2008) achieved 90% coverage. Although a cholera outbreak was effectively contained, the measles outbreak is ongoing. Con- trol and preventive measures for avian and pandemic influenza have been effective with no new cases of H5N1 reported in Iraq during 2008. Four hospitals were either rehabilitated or constructed anew with bilateral funds. The construction and rehabilitation of primary health centres during this reporting period is estimated to benefit 226,500 people. WHO has re-established its permanent presence in Iraq. Medical doctors and health staff have received trainings ranging from case management for diarrhea and acute respiratory disease to cholera prevention education. Strong cross-sector collaboration with WatSan and Education sectors has been critical.

Housing and Shelter: This sector has four (4) UNDG ITF projects—two (2) active and two (2) closed. Total approved funding is $27.53 million (2% of total), with $24.54 million (89%) in contract commitments and $22.50 (82%) in disbursements. During this reporting period, the sector worked to formulate a National Housing Policy and established inter-ministerial working groups for land management, provision of infrastructure and services, slum upgrading, and housing finance. With sector support, the Erbil Governorate is co-financing implementation of a new housing strategy. A substantial bottleneck in land allocation to serve IDPs is reported. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Iraq implemented 23 non-food item (NFI) distributions targeting 13,456 families (approximately 80,736 individuals) in 13 governorates; 4,000 school children in Basra and Thi-Qar with ―Back to School‖ NFI kits that include school materials, clothes, and shoes; and 91,838 students with school distributions in Ninewa, Basrah, and Missan. The sector is experiencing underinvestment with less than 1% of total IRFFI resources available for housing and shelter; the Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP) failed to mobilize adequate interest in the sector.

Agriculture and Food Security: This sector has 24 UNDG ITF projects, of which 14 are active and 10 are closed. Total approved funding is $142.52 million (12% of total), with $111.97 million (79%) in contract commitments and $100.83 million (71%) in disbursements. The sector‘s programmatic focus in the short to medium term is building capacity of state institutions and line ministries. Three surveys were undertaken during this reporting period: the first Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis (CFSVA) since 2005; the first general national livestock survey in Iraq since 1986/1987; and an Industrial Survey of Small and Medium Enterprises. World Food Programme (WFP) food assistance in 2008 reached a maximum of 510,000 IDPs; in some governorates, however, the number of IDPs reached was only 23% of the planned figures. During the crises in Sadr City, WFP delivered emergency food assistance to 38,500 residents. Trainings for as many as 100 professional and technical staff ranged from new technologies for data collection and analysis to integrated pest management to fisheries. At the community level, trainings have been delivered to 2,829 people, including 525 young people, in food-related professions such as beekeeping and dairy farm processing, and in agro-industrial cottage activities such as welding and carpentry, generator repair, and ceramic works. To support agricultural production, 1,900 hectres of farmland have been reclaimed through canal repair efforts.

Protection: This sector has 11 UNDG ITF projects—four (4) active and seven (7) closed. Total approved funding is $56.60 million (5% of total), with $32.37 million (57%) in contract commitments and $32.51 million (57%) in disbursements. During this reporting period, the Council of Representatives established an Independent Human Rights Commission. A multi-agency working group has formed and developed Iraqi-specific guidelines for monitoring and reporting on grave child rights violations. Sixty (60) judges, reformatory staff, social workers, and juvenile police in Baghdad received training on international juvenile justice standards. National mine action standards have been drafted. The Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MoDM) and the Ministry of Interior (MoI) have jointly registered 10,558 Palestinians in Baghdad. Some 708 Protection Monitoring Community assessments (tracking 874,713 persons of concern) were conducted. Protection Assistance Centers (PACs) received referrals for 7,303 clients, and PAC staff referred 9,205 cases to service providers. PACs‘ legal assistance services helped 26,667 individuals

(38% of whom were women). Some 931 teachers received training on psychosocial helping skills; 64,393 school children received mine risk education; and 45 judges, prosecutors, and lawyers from central Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) received human rights training.

Governance: The sector has 33 UNDG ITF projects—19 active and 14 closed. Total approved funding is $302.47 million (25% of total), with $223.91 million (74%) in contract commitments and $224.41 million (74%) in disbursements. The sector has successfully supported the Independent High Electoral Commis- sion (IHEC) to mobilize a nationwide voter registration update and to undertake provincial elections preparations (January 2009). During the reporting period, three studies were undertaken: a draft study to transform the State Ministry of Women Affairs into a full Ministry (UNIFEM), a nationwide situation analysis on the impact of violence on children (Iraq Children‘s Rights Network) and a desk study on transitional justice (UN, International Center for Transitional Justice [ICTJ]). Iraqi legal knowledge has been consolidated into a single database (Iraqi Legal Database) with trainings for lawyers, judges, and legal officers in government ministries. The Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) added US$2,358,491 to the UNDP budget for development planning in the south.

Economic Reform and Diversification: The sector has 23 UNDG ITF projects—12 active and 11 closed. The total approved funding is $243.68 million (20% of total), with $178.10 million (73%) in contract commitments and $ 158.97 million (65%) in disbursements. During the reporting period, the sector conducted two roundtable meetings to identify factors that hinder development of a growth-orientated and rules-based private sector in Iraq. A Government Task Force for Economic Reforms and Private Sector Capacity (TFER) has been established. Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) completed a national gender-statistics website and database and presented a draft of a strategic framework for developing national statistical capacities. For the electricity sector, the Mosul and Taji Gas Power Sta- tions are now producing an additional 30 MW and 38 MW of electricity, respectively, through equipment repair. For partnerships, during the reporting period the UNDP facilitated an ―Opportunities for Indepen- dent Power Producer (IPP) Investments in Iraq‖ conference envisioning $18 billion in future investments. UNDP also led an effort to complete a 10-year Aviation Master Plan.

4.2. Individual Sector Reports The sector reports have been prepared by the Sector Outcome Teams (SOTs) with technical support from the Steering Committee Support Office (SCSO) M&E Officer and MDTF Office. Each report contains the following sections: I. Sector outcomes and outputs, as defined in the UN Iraq Assistance Strategy, 2008–2010. II. Operating context during the reporting period, as relevant to the specific sector. III. Implementation constraints and challenges during the reporting period. IV. Coverage and counterparts. V. Results including project implementation status and narrative summary of results. VI. Other SOT contributing activities and funding sources.

Following the cluster to sector restructuring exercise in 2008, the majority of the previously approved and funded projects and joint programmes remained within similar thematic areas. However, several of the previous sub-clusters were moved and/or split into new SOTs and sub-SOTs, such as Refugees and IDPs, Governance, and Economic Reform and Diversification. Therefore, an individual SOT may choose to report some projects within the new SOT structure aligned with the most relevant outcomes and outputs. For the financial reporting purposes of the MDTF Office, however, all projects funded during the cluster structure will continue to be tracked and reported upon based on two factors: the agency that received funds; and the new SOT or sub-SOT that most closely resembles the original cluster or sub-cluster.

II. Operating Context During Reporting Period

Of all the issues confronting Iraq‘s children, the decline in the quality of learning is among the most alarming in terms of its implications for Iraq‘s future. While official statistics for primary education in 2007 /2008 are not yet available, anecdotal reports indicate that primary school attendance rates in some areas have fallen far below 85.8%, particularly among girls (2006 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey [MICS3]).

Of particular concern is the situation of children living in vulnerable communities across all governorates of Iraq, where a significant number of children aged between 6–11 years have not been attending school on a regular basis. In rural parts of the Marshland areas, enrolment in primary schools is at least 30% lower than in the urban areas of the same governorates. Girls living in these areas are also less likely to

get their rights to education fulfilled, with girls constituting only 30–37% of all children enrolled in schools.

Evidence suggests that the barriers to education for Iraqi children are multiple. Prevailing insecurity, poor physical school infrastructure, poverty, displacement, and deterioration in educational services and standards as well as cultural issues together keep children away from class and further aggravate the isolation and distress.

In spite of huge investments in the construction and rehabilitation of education facilities, a significant number of schools remain in poor to dismal condition. Schools are functioning are under immense pressure, with many operating two or more daily shifts to meet education demands, stretching both teachers and students to the limit. Overcrowded classrooms make it difficult to improve the quality of education, introduce new curricula, and attend to the needs of individual students. School yards also suffer from overcrowding, and facilities are unable to withstand the wear and tear of overuse.

Furthermore, the recent Iraq Family Health Survey 2006/2007 indicates that access to education and essential health services is a major problem for conflict-affected communities. The results showed a high proportion (38.7%) of non-attendance at school among children between 5–9 years, indicating that the enrolment of children is being delayed, which was also reported in the 2006 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS3). Survey results also showed gender disparity in access to education (higher disparities in the South, compared to the Centre and North), and that 44% of children in rural areas need more than 15 minutes to get to school. Distance from school is one of the major impediments to girls‘ attendance, especially in rural areas. The percentage of females who have not attended school is approximately twice as high as the percentage of males (26.8% and 14.6%, respectively).

III. Implementation Constraints and Challenges

Funding shortfalls have hindered the realization of the SOT‘s planned goals for 2008, particularly with regard to rehabilitation of school facilities. Funding for humanitarian activities in the Education Sector covered 23% of requirements to respond to the most basic educational needs. In some areas, implementation of projects was delayed mainly due to insecurity and frequent local curfews, which in turn affected planned completion dates. Accessibility is still an issue in some hot districts such as Sadr City and Karkh in Baghdad. Alterations in priorities of the Ministry of Education (MoEd) and Ministry of Higher Educa- tion and Scientific Research (MoHESR) necessitated the revision of implementation targets and modifica- tions to the number of planned project sites and scope of work. Although many training workshops and meetings were successfully conducted inside Iraq, conducting trainings in the governorates is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive for facilitators from Baghdad, UN staff, and government officials. Weak coordination, cooperation, and communication among government ministries and directorates, especially in terms of technical consultation, continue to constrain data collection thus weakening planning processes.

IV. Coverage and Counterparts

The primary counterparts are the MoEd and its Directorates in each of the 18 governorates, as they are the main recipients of support and are involved in all stages of programme design, planning, and implementation. Another primary counterpart is the MoHESR. In addition to the Ministries and Directorates of Edu- cation (DoEd), principals and teachers at schools/institutes were involved in all procedures relating to identification of project locations, finalizing the scope of rehabilitation works, procurement, quality control, and progress monitoring. These continuous partnerships helped to ensure transparency and greater sense of responsibility, ownership, commitment, and sustainability of projects after their completion.

Other government entities include: Foundation of Technical Education (FTE), Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MoLSA), Ministry of Health (MoH), Directorates of Health (DoH), Ministry of Youth and Sports (MoYS), technical institutes, and university departments. Some projects continued to be imple- 50

mented in collaboration with international and local NGOs, as well as contractors, to ensure not only optimal cost performance but also the efficient implementation of projects since they are more aware of the local operating environment and are stakeholders of local development.

The sector‘s various interventions target all educational levels; kindergartens (early childhood), primary, intermediate, secondary, and higher education in addition to adult literacy through NFE activities. The geographic coverage of projects and activities varied from national to governorate level; in some area- based projects, coverage was even tapered to district or school level. Emphasis was given to remote and rural areas, where attendance is low and dropout rates are high, especially for girls.

The map illustrates the distribution of member agencies and NGOs across Iraq based on their activities; it also reflects the level of operational action by governorate. a. District Level Map

Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results

UNICEF, UNESCO, and World Bank in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research are jointly contributing to the development of a long-term Na- tional Education Strategy for Iraq. As a continuation to the first workshop conducted in February 2008, key representatives from the MoEd, MoHESR, MoLSA, the prime minister‘s office, and the Education Committee of the Parliament participated in a second workshop in February 2009 where a timeframe for the progress of work was agreed upon. In addition, technical experts from the region and from the Inter- national Institute for Educational Planning (IIEP) were highly engaged and guided the process leading to the framework for a National Education Strategy.

Following a number of meetings held in the background of the present Iraqi situation and within the context of non-formal education (NFE), the Education SOT in collaboration with the MoEd successfully finalized a Draft Strategy Paper on NFE in Iraq at the end of August 2008, to be further cultivated for adoption.

In order to enhance access to all levels of quality education, the Education Sector has continued working on improving school environments to meet minimum child-friendly standards. By doing so, 122 schools were comprehensively rehabilitated and water and sanitation facilities in 116 schools were upgraded in Missan, Muthanna, Najaf, Basra, Babil, Thiqar, Ninevah, Baghdad, Erbil, Suleimaniyah, Kirkuk, and Wa- sit governorates, benefiting approximately 118,770 children (60,570 girls and 58,200 boys). In addition, 36 classrooms were established in a number of these schools to cater to more students, reduce overcrowding, and ease the pressure on multi-shift schools. New school furniture and equipment were also provided to 73 schools.

As a response to the increasing need for alternative education opportunities, the sector is focusing on expanding the outreach of the Accelerated Learning Programme (ALP) in Iraq. By the end of 2008, 36,429 students were enrolled in ALP (30% female participants) and efforts are ongoing to develop a strategy aiming at raising this number considerably, with emphasis on girls.

Two youth centres in Basra and Babil were rehabilitated and furnished with needed equipment and supplies (generators, computers, sewing machines, furniture, etc.). These centres have started to offer free services to youth and children, with activities including computer skills, arts, drama, photography, library, sewing, music, and English language. The number of beneficiaries reached a total of 320 youth (81 girls and 239 boys).

Early Childhood Development (ECD) is an area that is neglected in Iraq, according to MICS3; only 2.5% of Iraqi preschool children had access to organized activities in 2006. The distribution of 1,700 ECD kits started in July 2008, benefiting more than 1,250 kindergartens, primary schools, orphanages, and institutes located in 11 governorates in the Centre/South, in addition to the Kurdistan Region. The kits are designed to assist in restoring a sense of normalcy to children below the age of 6 as a healing tool for play during their stressful school days.

In order to enhance the quality of teacher education at the higher education level in Iraq, several capacity- building activities were implemented, including: (i) fellowship and sponsorship programmes; (ii) in-depth training in computer skills and English language along with the upgrading of subject materials and teaching methodologies in all disciplines including humanities, science, human rights, and civics; (iii) the third ToT training course in geology was held at University of Bangor, UK, enabling 8 Iraqi university lectur- ers to become core trainers in the universities of Baghdad, Basra, Anbar, and Salaheldin; and (iv) 60 fa- culty members in the colleges of education and science at the universities of Basra and Salahel- din have been trained within the framework of the multiplier effect trainings in biology, chemi- stry, environmental studies, and special needs education. In addition, 4 fellows have successfully completed the one-year Master‘s Degree Pro- gramme in Peacekeeping Management at the University of Torino, Italy. Furthermore, a comprehensive draft of the Teacher Training Strategy has been completed and translated into English.

Regarding educational support to Iraqi students enrolled in formal schools and to others who are either displaced internally or refugees in neigh- boring countries, the Educational TV channel Alternative education opportunities for was officially inaugurated. In this aspect, the foc- out-of-school children and youth al TV satellite unit at MoEd for broadcasting educational TV programmes was furnished and equipped, and installation of professional TV broadcasting equipment was 100% completed. In addition, capacity building of MoEd technical staff on TV broadcasting activities was completed. As for production activities, the work is ongoing for the preparation of technical specifications for the provision and installation of TV production equipment and the production of TV educational episodes and TV spots.

Within the framework of introducing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Education for Iraq, Certified Computer Training Professional (CCTP) and International Computer Driving License (ICDL) workshops were held in November 2008 at the University of Jordan for 19 participants from MoEd in Baghdad and Kurdistan. This certification enables the trainers to conduct training and accredita- tion of school teachers and staff in the Information and Communication Technology Development Centre (ICTDC) in Baghdad and the five Information and Communication Technology Teachers Training Cen- tres (ICTTTC) in Baghdad, Najaf, Basra, Mosul, and Erbil as a pilot project. In addition, a draft copy of the Strategy for the Implementation of ICT in Iraq was completed by an Iraqi team of experts; this strategy will be completed shortly and presented in a workshop for finalization and submission to the Iraqi Government for implementation. Moreover, the first versions of E-Learning packages were produced by the Iraqi expert team; after further review, the team will carry on the production in Iraq.

The provision of essential vocational workshop equipment and IT infrastructure to the MoEd has allowed the MoEd to provide quality technical and vocational education and training (TVET). This is in line with the planned strategy to speed up the process of recovery, reconstruction, and revitalization of technical education schools and institutions in Iraq. Hence, the sector‘s tangible outcomes will be mainly represented by a revised TVET system, curriculum development, fully equipped technical colleges/institutes and vocational schools, as well as workshops and a network of computer centres for improved quality of teaching and training. Capacities of key staff from the ministries (MoEd, MoHESR, and MoLSA) working in the vocational training programme are being developed, and staff are being exposed to best practices.

As a response to the serious lack of reliable and timely information, the SOT strengthened its efforts to complete the institutionalization of a decentralized Educational Management Information System (EMIS) at central and governorate levels. Support has been continuously provided during the reporting period by carrying out several meetings and trainings to benefit five technical officials from the MoEd (three from Centre/South, two from Kurdistan) who participated in a seven-day advanced training on Geographical Information System (GIS) in early August 2008 in Amman. The training aimed to further enhance the capacity of the participants to produce digitalized maps with school locations, which will be further consolidated as a new publication titled School Atlas.

There is a tremendous need for awareness on health and hygiene among communities. An awareness campaign was conducted in Baghdad in which 184 community leaders and teachers within the school community were oriented on the Health Promoting Schools (HPS) initiative and psychosocial support for students. The HPS initiative was launched at the beginning of 2008 and has continued during the year. In the same context, 10 advocacy meetings for 450 community leaders, teachers, and parents were held at Baghdad, Mosul, Diyala, and Basra governorates in collaboration with DoH and DoEd to raise awareness of health and hygiene, as well as the importance of creating healthy and friendly school environments. Additionally, 46 primary schools are promoting health and hygiene messages in all governorates (2 in each governorate and 12 in Baghdad) through continuous health education classes, including drawing competitions.

As part of health promotion in schools, 6,615 students were screened for visual and hearing difficulties and musculoskeletal system abnormalities in 147 primary schools (target was 150 schools) in 8 governorates (Baghdad, Missan, Basra, Thiqar, Najaf, Suleimaniyah, Muthanna, and Wasit) to improve the health status of students for better education performance. Screening of students in 3 schools in Sadr city was postponed due to prevailing security conditions at the time the project was implemented.

Capacity-development activities were supported at central and governorate levels in order to respond to the emerging need for in-house technical expertise. Under the HPS initiative, 18 national training courses for 450 doctors, technicians, and teachers were conducted on early detection of visual and hearing difficulties and Iraq girls outside their elementary school musculoskeletal problems. Another 19 national training activities on psychosocial support were conducted for 280 doctors and 100 teachers to update their knowledge on health education and key health messages, communication skills, and psychological first aid services. Within the training of trainers (ToT) programme in Teacher Education, 1,230 teachers were trained in school health and hygiene education, 40 higher education teachers were exposed to external training, and 45 MoEd/MoHESR staff were trained in planning and management. Four workshops were held inside Iraq on the Know about Business (KAB) manual—three in Baghdad and one in Erbil. The 43 participants were from the technical education institutes under MoHESR, vocational education schools under MoEd, and vocational training centres under MoLSA.

The Education Sector is progressing well in attaining some of the planned output targets for 2008, particularly Outputs 1.1, 1.3, 2.2, and 3.2. However, the Government of Iraq (GoI) has shifted priorities to these areas: technical support and capacity development, sector funding shortfalls, security constraints, improving coordination among GoI entities, and increasing training expenses. In light of these priorities, the revision of a number of targets has become inevitable to ensure that targets are realistic, taking into account capacity and funding.

The sector humanitarian intervention under Outcome 4 is implemented mainly with grants received from the Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP). The intervention was marked by different activities such as: rehabilitation of about 100 schools and 54 education centres across the country to benefit around 28,700 students and 73,500 IDPs, respectively. Another particularly important intervention in the context of high drop-out rates and diminished access to regular schooling in Iraq is non-formal learning opportunities provided through the ALP, which reached over 36,000 out-of-school children and youth (30% female participation). In addition, teaching aids and furniture (desks, chairs, and blackboards) were provided to over 40 schools, including basic materials and teaching aids for 650 ALP classes. Training of more than 1,000 teachers was also an important activity in addition to the quick rehabilitation of eight schools damaged by the fighting in Sadr City and other cities.

VI. Other SOT Major Contributions and Implementing Partners in the Sector

Bilateral funds from Japan Platform, Nokia, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Netherlands, and EC, along with agencies‘ core funds, contributed to the effective implementation of some vital projects within the Education Sector. More specifically, bilateral funds substantially contributed to sector outputs of rehabilitating and equipping educational facilities; designing and distributing learning and teaching materials; conducting awareness campaigns in target areas; strengthening institutional and human capacity by supporting the education system to improve the quality of services and training of staff; and supporting the development of education curricula.

II. Operating Context During Reporting Period

The last six months of 2008 have seen improvements in the security situation, with levels of violence dropping significantly throughout the country, reflected in a two-thirds drop in civilian casualties, as compared to 2007. There is stronger and more confident political leadership with the political process underway, and national security forces are growing in size and capacity. The new State of Forces Agree- ment (SOFA) between the US and the Republic of Iraq was ratified by the Iraqi Parliament on 27 No- vember 2008. Also, there was a noticeable improvement in the economic outlook through the expansion of oil production and exports, despite the impact of the global financial crisis, which included a dramatic drop in world oil prices.

At the sector level, the Water and Sanitation SOT‘s main goals are: to ensure regular and productive interaction with GoI and other partners toward the achievement of Millennium Development Goals, to provide support to national programmes that increase equitable and sustainable access to safe water and im-

proved sanitation, and to promote hygiene practices. The SOT‘s opportunities are: (i) to increase technical assistance for policy dialogue and planning to enhance the implementation and monitoring of water and sanitation services, Early Warning/Early Action for drought, humanitarian assistance, and water quality control; (ii) to promote hygiene practices through schools and communities; (iii) to increase awareness for water conservation; (iv) to implement environmentally friendly pilot projects and introduce innovative new technologies; and (v) to maintain immediate humanitarian response.

However, as a result of the continuous unimproved situation of dysfunctional water treatment units, network breakdowns, aging equipment, and intermittent power supply, only 40% of Iraqis reported having access to reliable water facilities (UNICEF 2006 Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey [MICS3], 2006). Fam- ilies without access to water often resort to tapping into water mains/lines, further damaging networks and increasing the probability of water contamination, which was the direct cause of a cholera outbreak during 2008. The outbreak peaked in August, when it coincided with rising temperatures and extreme water shortages. A total of 925 cases of cholera were reported during 2008, of which 47% were among children under five. The good news is that this was a marked downturn from the previous year‘s outbreak, which had resulted in 4,696 reported cholera cases, claiming 24 lives, mostly in the country‘s northern cities.

Sewage pools remained a common sight in many neighborhoods in addition to piles of garbage, which are littered in public places, posing a severe threat to public health and environment.

III. Implementation Constraints and Challenges

Recent assessments in remote and sparsely populated areas revealed chronic poverty and a reliance on agriculture and livestock to generate income. The inhabitants in these harsh locations still suffer from underinvestment in basic services. Houses in rural areas are scattered randomly hundreds of meters apart from each other, making water distribution difficult to plan. In addition to this, seven other challenges pose real difficulties for the sector:  Sporadic conflicts and military operations in certain areas affecting implementation.  Absence of national water policies accompanied by absence of executing authorities to prevent violations of existing national laws and environment-related regulations.  A vast quantity of untreated domestic sewage (only 17% partially treated) continuously disposed into rivers and other water courses. This along with other wastes (industrial and medical) will cause further degradation in surface water.  High salinity in the Euphrates River, which exceeds 3000 ppm in the southern areas, leading to an indispensable need for costly water-desalination units.  Huge number of underserved or unserved locations, especially in rural villages, where residents are forced to rely on compromised water resources. Although 72% of people have access to safe water countrywide, disparities are significant between governorates.  In 2008, a sharp decrease in precipitation rates to less than 50% of the normal average values increased the country‘s vulnerability to another drought cycle. This has triggered an acute need for digging new wells with a potential of over-exploitation of stored ground water.  Inadequate capital and poor investment in Operations & Maintenance at the governmental level (approximately 50% gap between planned and allocated annual budgets). Also, international funding is far below the funding needs/requirements.

IV. Coverage and Counterparts

The primary partners/recipients of support are the Ministry of Municipalities and Public Works (MoMPW) and the relevant departments (Directorates of Water in all targeted governorates, Directorates of Sewerage in some governorates, Department of Solid Waste Management, and Quality Control 58

laboratories including the central laboratory of the Ministry of Environment); the communities, including IDPs, in project areas; vulnerable groups suffering from lack of safe water, especially those living in remote villages and others with acute shortage in municipal services; local contractors who are represented as implementing partners; and local skilled and unskilled laborers who benefit from employment opportunities through sector projects.

Eleven of thirteen Water and Sanitation Sector ongoing and completed projects were implemented in eight governorates (Baghdad, Thiqar, Wasit, Kirkuk, Basra, Suleimaniyah, Erbil, and Kerbala) during the reporting period; the other two ongoing projects are almost nationwide. a. District Level Map

Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results

Four projects out of 13 were completed (E3-04, E3-10, E3-13b, and E3-13d), while nine have progressed at various levels (as illustrated in the table above), achieving an average progress rate of 78.5% during the reporting period. Approximately 2,862,000 Iraq citizens have benefited from the implementation of UNDG ITF projects up to the end of the reporting period as summarized below:  Increased water supply to Al-Karkh district in Baghdad by 10 million gallons per day (MGD), benefiting more than 455,000 residents.  Operational improvement of existing water distribution networks in two towns in Thiqar through the repair and replacement of approximately 10kms of the existing water distribution network and extension of new 20km network, serving 35,000 residents.  Increased access to safe water in Basra (Al-Khaseeb and Umm Qaser Port), Wasit (four districts), Kirkuk City, Suleimaniyah (one town), and Erbil (two towns), collec- Al Karama Water Treatment Plant in Baghdad, AlKarkh district (after rehabilitation) tively benefiting 367,750 residents

through rehabilitation of treatment units, extension of networks, and construction of storage tanks.  Improved sanitation in terms of sewage and storm water systems, as well as garbage collection and disposal for: 155,000 inhabitants in Kirkuk city; 150,000 inhabitants in Basra /Abu al- Khaseeb district; 54,000 inhabitants in Umm Qaser; 400,000 residents in Basra City; and 700,000 residents in four neighborhoods in Karbala.  Improved environmental conditions in Basra through the rehabilitation of a main sewage treatment plant, preventing raw sewage from being disposed into the river.  Strengthened surveillance of water quality across the country via delivery of eight mobile laboratories and rehabilitation of one central laboratory. Also, three wastewater laboratories were rehabilitated and supplied with required equipment, glassware, and chemicals.  Strengthened capacity of governmental staff in procurement of specialized equipment and supplies, and in improved operation and management of water and sanitation systems.  Improved capacity for MoMPW officials to formulate and implement national-level waste management laws and to design and implement Solid Waste Management programmes.

The following training activities for UNDG ITF projects have achieved 67% progress during the reporting period:  Staff in Al-Karama Treatment Plant trained in using laboratory equipment and statistical analysis (16 participants) and 35 staff from various governorates trained on various laboratory aspects (100%).  Staff and local workers in Umm Qaser and Abu Alkhaseeb completed on-site training on Reverse Osmosis (RO) operation and maintenance (25%).  Technical staff from four governorates trained on Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) (20%).  Technical staff (60 participants) from MoMPW in Erbil and Suleimaniyah trained on the design, operation, and maintenance of water networks (100%).  Laboratory staff from all governorates trained in basic and advanced Waste Water Quality Moni- toring (100%).  Staff from MoMPW in various governorates trained in Solid Waste Management (25%).  Participants from Baghdad and Najaf trained in basic GIS applications (100%).

VI. Other SOT Major Contributions and Implementing Partners in the Sector

UNICEF in collaboration with NGO implementing partners through their humanitarian response project ―Humanitarian Assistance to Acutely Vulnerable Communities‖ have accomplished the following:  Provided over five million water purification tablets; 25,000 collapsible jerry cans to increase families‘ storage capacities; and 24,000 hygiene kits.  Installed 70 communal water storage tanks of 5,000- and 10,000-liter capacity.  Distributed over 75,000 oral rehydration salt (ORS) sachets.  Provided water-testing equipment to reinforce capacity of counterparts in high-risk areas.

Short-term (1–3 month) emergency water trucking continued as the main source of drinking water, amounting to approximately 285,000 M3. Hygiene-promotion campaigns were conducted in tandem with the distribution of supplies. Emergency response interventions included installing four water treatment 62

units, laying one network, support for waste disposal, constructing latrines, and repairing sewage systems in schools and medical facilities in 10 acutely vulnerable locations.

These operations were undertaken in risk-prone areas in Baghdad, Basra, Missan, Wasit, Anbar, and Ba- bil in addition to conflict-affected areas and IDP locations. Over 640,000 people benefited, plus six main hospitals in Baghdad.

Other water and sanitation activities comprised 38 small-scale projects, out of which five are Ex- panded Humanitarian Response Fund (ERF) projects. These have taken place in different areas across 18 governorates* affecting Outcome 1 by 90%, Outcome 2 by only 3%, Outcome 3 by 60%, and Outcome 4 by 24%.

All these activities were implemented by 13 international NGOs and 7 local NGOs, in addition to a project by UNESCO and another one by UNDP. The projects have collectively contributed Babil villagers collect water from tank installed by to safeguarding public health by averting disease International Medical Corps, with UNICEF support outbreaks through enhanced access to safe drinking water and improved sanitation conditions. In addition, hygiene-awareness activities were conducted among targeted populations, with some interventions toward early recovery.

NGOs that implemented the water and sanitation projects are:

International NGOs: Intersos, Relief International, Mercy Corps, International Medical Corps, International Organization for Migration, DRC, HELP, Qandil, Premier Urgence, PEACE WINDS JAPAN, Norwegian Church Aid, LifeUSA, and Islamic Relief.

Local NGOs: Todia, Darya, Kurds, Iraqi Relief Organization, Iraqi Salvation Humanitarian Organization, REACH, and Mercy Hands for Humanitarian Aid.

II. Operating Context During Reporting Period

The impact of health and nutrition related programming implemented through UNDG ITF funding has been undeniably positive. However, Iraq still faces complex health and nutrition associated challenges. These include reorganizing the pharmaceutical sector, overcoming the current recurring shortages of essential medicines, strengthening management and health governance, retraining the workforce, and tack- ling the main causes of the rise in certain communicable and non-communicable diseases.

Water and electricity supply capacities are still low compared to the population‘s needs. Poor water quality contributed to a cholera outbreak in the summer of 2008 that continued into the reporting period. Ac- cording to 2009 information from the Ministry of Health, only 50.3% of rural areas are able to obtain safe water. This combined with endemic cholera creates a sustained public health threat. The potential for another cholera outbreak is high and the Health and Nutrition Sector Outcome Team (HNSOT) remains vigilant in monitoring and reporting the situation. As of 31 May 2009, only one case of cholera has been confirmed.

The gradual improvement of security in the country is having a positive effect, with an increased number of Iraqi health professionals gradually returning to the country. However, the Iraqi health care delivery system is still burdened by internal displacement and migration of Iraqi professionals to other countries. Major rehabilitation and upgrades of one-third of the 1,809 Public Health Centres (PHCs) have in many places deteriorated due to lack of maintenance, lack of supplies, reduced or unskilled health workers, or inadequate support services.

Improvement in the political and security situation over the reporting period has led to at least a two-fold decrease in the number of incidents and deaths (40 and 10 respectively per day) compared to 2006–2007. Although the increase in number of returnees is slow (ranging from 0.5–2%, or around 30,000), this rate 65

is expected to grow if conditions for reconciliation and return prevail and access to income/employment, health services, food, and shelter are improved. Lack of access to food, adequate shelter, clean water and sanitation, health, and employment, especially for vulnerable groups such as women and children, create conditions of desperation among many of the 1.6 million people country-wide who experienced displacement between 2006 and 2008. Almost half (48%) of IDPs reside in Baghdad, Kerbala, Diyala, and Dahuk.

Mental health status estimates showed that 4% of the population had severe mental health disorders and 20% had common disorders, while 36% claimed emotional stress (Iraq Mental Health Survey, 2007– 2008). Curative services or prevention/rehabilitation programs are still weak and distribution of quality health care is uneven. Mortality rates for children under five (U5MR 41 per 1.000 live births) and maternal mortality rates (84 per 100,000) are high for the region. Diarrhea and acute respiratory infections still account for about two-thirds of deaths in children under five, which is further compounded by malnutrition.

III. Implementation Constraints and Challenges

Although there have been some improvements, security constraints inside Iraq during 2008 have continued to be an overarching operational constraint. This has limited movement and access to project sites by international staff. To address the situation, WHO has re-established its permanent international presence in Iraq; this has immensely increased the interactions with national counterparts and project monitoring visits. However, the necessary adoption of a remote management system in which most of the organisation‘s staff remains based in Amman is likely to continue for some time.

Other challenges are related to the complexity of the vulnerable groups in Iraq. Vulnerability can be cate- gorized as follows: (i) displaced population and insecurity in conflict areas; (ii) food insecurity and malnutrition; (iii) injuries and mental health; and (iv) limited access to quality health services (using DPT vaccine coverage as a proxy indicator). Despite the decline in incidence of violent death or injury from around 4,000 per month in 2006 to around 200 per month in 2009, disability and injuries remain a big health problem in Iraq. The incidence of communicable diseases such as cholera (2007 and 2008), measles (current outbreak), typhoid, hepatitis, and others has been relatively high for a long time. Lack of access to clean water and electricity, and poor vaccination coverage as a result of poor access to quality health services, are key contributing factors.

Decision-making on a central level is hampered by inconsistent access to information about the health situation amongst the general population. High turnover of key staff in the ministries and governorates makes it difficult to maintain institutional knowledge and bring about reform.

IV. Coverage and Counterparts

During the reporting period, the HNSOT supported institutional strengthening of the Ministry of Health (MoH) for better governance, contributed to policy development addressing enforcement and regulations, and promoted equity in health services financing and provision. Through the Primary Health Care approach, which seeks to deliver basic health packages, and through an immunization program that aims to protect the population (particularly children) against vaccine-preventable diseases, HNSOT has supported projects on (i) maternal and child health to decrease the maternal mortality rate and the infant mortality rate, ii) emergency obstetric care, (iii) food safety, and (iv) prevention of communicable diseases. Food safety programming has sought to protect health of the consumers through enhancing food-borne disease surveillance and prevention, improving agricultural practices, and establishing good manufacturing practices in food industries.

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results

With regard to Maternal, Child, and Reproductive Health, policies and guidelines have been reviewed and updated for making pregnancy safer. The national strategy now gives more emphasis to these priority areas: adolescent health, maternal mortality surveillance, newborn care, integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI), and sexually transmitted infections (STI) and HIV/AIDS. With support from the HNSOT to the MoH, active steps were taken towards integrating non-communicable disease (NCD) management and control into the primary health care system, with focus on key diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. These actions are a translation to the field of strategic directions already described in the National Development Strategy published in 2007. As a result of intensive advocacy with MoH to self-finance the micronutrient programme, a decision was taken that, from 2009, Kimadia, the state company for medicines and medical appliances in Iraq, will take over the responsibility of the procurement of premix and feeders needed in the wheat fortification programme. Advocacy was intensified with MoH for self-sufficiency of oral rehydration salt (ORS), zinc, iron and folic acid and as a result, initial commitment has been reached. In 2009, the MoH budget will include funding for all these supplies. Policy on use of new ORS and zinc was adopted by MoH. Joint efforts by the sector agencies were made to finalize the multiyear EPI planning and support MoH to introduce the Hib vaccine.

In terms of disease prevention, control, eradication and elimination, HNSOT supported the MoH to transform the centrally-planned and curative care-based services into a new system based on prevention and evidence-based, equitable, high-quality accessible and affordable primary health care. The result of this collaboration is continuous capacity building in the field of immunization, which is seen as crucial for the wider strengthening of the health systems and a major element of the effort to attain the Millenium De- velopment Goals (MDGs). This resulted in high infant immunization coverage (at least 80%) by all essential vaccines among infants being achieved in 50% of districts. The HNSOT actively supported the first two rounds of the Reach Every District (RED) approach successfully in all health districts with immunization coverage below 80%, and initial results are encouraging.

Output 1.1: Policies, strategies, and guidelines related to health and nutrition developed

The UN has continued to assist the government of Iraq to develop or review key policies and strategic documents. A major conference on health system reform was held in Baghdad in June 2008 and a series of recommendations were made that, once implemented, will have wide implications on the development of the health sector in near future. Efforts to finalise the National Medicines Policy (NMP) document have continued. The paper has been adopted at the level of MoH and an implementation plan is being discussed by key sector stakeholders. The sector is also undertaking discussion of the newly formulated MoH strategy with relevant officials. Also, the review of the MCH strategy which started during the reporting period has continued and the sector has been making substantive contributions during the discussions. In the area of food safety, the UN has regularly provided its view on the much needed review of policies related to organisation and structure of food control mechanisms and authorities. The policy con- firming the importance of the PHC model as the cornerstone of the health system in Iraq has been reaf- firmed by the government and the health sector working in collaboration with other partners to ensure that this policy is translated into action.

Output 1.2: Institutional and personnel capacity of health and nutrition and related programs strengthened for improved quality service delivery

As a part of the strategic objectives of the UN Assistance Strategy, the HNSOT has exerted many efforts to improve the preparedness levels of MoH staff to respond to possible public health threats at both central and peripheral levels in all governorates. During the recent H9N influenza virus outbreak in Basra, for example, the communication, social mobilization, preparedness, and response level at DoH Basra was quite satisfactory. This included timely interventions at field level such as a mobile education campaign and field-level coordination with the different stakeholders. Control and preventive measures for avian and pandemic influenza have been effective with no new cases of H5N1 reported in Iraq during 2008. About 2,000 doctors and health staff country-wide were trained on diarrhea and Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) case management, the Expanded Pro- gramme on Immunication (EPI), and acute malnutrition case management. Control of diarrhea diseases (CDD) case management and prevention capacity has also been enhanced for about 1,000 key health personnel serving in the mostly affected governorates.

Output 1.3: Enhanced functional capacity of A mobile unit delivering health services health and health related facilities and insti- and education in remote areas tutions in low coverage areas

The HNSOT is working with the GoI toward the revitalization of the primary health care system in Iraq. Sector support included infrastructural rehabilitation and construction of facilities, provision of supplies and equipment, training of staff, revision of policies and strategies, and more. The construction and rehabilitation of Primary Health Centers supported by the HNSOT during this reporting period is estimated to benefit 226,500 people. In the three northern governorates, seven PHC are under construction and four are under rehabilitation. In Diyala, two PHC have been constructed and handed over to the DoH, while in Wassit two PHCs are under construction, as is one PHC in Basra. Regarding the Support to Emergency Obstetric Care project (D2-02), by the end of December 2008, HNSOT through UNFPA reached 90% completion of the rehabilitation of the delivery wards of the original 21 sites that were targeted. Similarly, a number of maternity wards in addition to PHC centres in the northern governorates were rehabilitated, with particular focus on vulnerable groups and those residing in the remote areas such as the marshlands. Procurement of ambulances and mobile health units to benefit the inhabitants of the marshlands was finalized and delivery of the purchased items will be completed in June 2009.

The HNSOT contributed to enhancing the medical equipment management and maintenance system at all medical equipment repair shops at the DoH level through international and in-country training, training of trainer (ToT) workshops, provision of informatics, sharing of information and experience, and setting up guidelines and policies. Through procurement and logistics, HNSOT supported the MoH to conduct two rounds of Polio National Immunization Days (PNIDs, autumn 2008) for all vaccination teams and to print 12,000 registers for the vaccination teams. Over 90% coverage was achieved.

The sector outcome team has been implementing hospital rehabilitation projects. These include rehabilitation of Tikrit and Ramadi Hospitals, construction of the Maternity and Children‘s Hospital in Fallujah, and construction of Halabja Hospital under the Mine Victim Assistance project, a bilaterally Japan funded project. Also, health service delivery was supported by improving the power supply to medical facilities through the UNDP supported project "Support to the Electricity and Health Sectors in the Emer- gency and Long-Term Context.‖

The Erbil and Babil regional vaccine stores (covering the mid-Euphrates governorates and the lower southern governorates) were successfully rehabilitated during the reporting period. In Ba- sra, progress was delayed due to the last security crisis; the current achievement rate is 50% and it is expected that the work will be completed shortly..Cold chain equipment (ice-lined refrige- rators/freezers, vaccine carriers, cold boxes) were procured and delivered. Better parenting, essential newborn care hygiene, and breastfeeding Reaching out for the least served were promoted. Amadi hospital in Duhuk was supported and certified as a Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative hospital; the work is ongoing to support another four hospitals in 2009.

Output 1.4: Empowered and engaged local communities and private sector to enhance equitable access to health and nutrition services, with special focus on missed opportunities in access to health

Most of the activities implemented by the HNSOT have a strong component for community participation, especially in the area of public health. They also have provision for integrated services, as through the Education Sector for school health programs. Two mobile health-awareness campaigns were conducted in avian influenza high-risk areas in Muthanna, Basra, Thiqar, and Kirkuk and in 57 EPI low-coverage districts; and one campaign targeted IDPs in Dywania. The media has been active in raising awareness of avian influenza and promoting good hygiene.

Advocacy campaigns were conducted in Baghdad/Rasafa in which 100 community leaders and teachers within the school community were oriented on the Health Promoting Schools (HPS) initiative. During IMCI implementation, teachers, women‘s support groups, Community Child Care Units (CCCUs) volun- teers, and community leaders supported awareness sessions targeting the health of mothers and children. The CCCUs are used as centers for child malnutrition treatment and monitoring. Awareness-raising campaigns targeting 2,844 community leaders, teachers, and parent-teacher associations were held at the governorate level in collaboration with DoH and DoEd on health and hygiene, highlighting the importance of participating in making the school environment a healthy and friendly one.

Output 1.5: Enhanced monitoring and evaluation mechanisms in place to track progress and identify gaps in the provision of health and nutrition services with special emphasis on the unreached

HNSOT has been working closely with the Ministry of Planning and Development Cooperation‘s (MoPDC) Central Organization for Statistics and Information Technology (COSIT) since 2003 in building their capacity in food security monitoring and analysis. A survey has been completed (November 2008) covering nearly 26,000 households across all 115 districts of Iraq‘s 18 provinces. The survey was implemented with COSIT and its northern equivalent, the Kurdistan Regional Statistics Office (KRSO), and the Ministry of Health‘s Nutrition Research Institute (NRI). This comprehensive survey found that the overall food security situation inside Iraq had improved since the last survey (2005). In the 2008 survey, some 930,000 people were found to be without adequate access to food last year which is considered

as an improvement compared to around 4 million in 2005. A further 6.4 million people would slide into food insecurity if it were not for safety nets such as the Public Distribution System (PDS). As well as sur- veying the food security situation of people across the country, the 2007-2008 WFP/COSIT Comprehen- sive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis (CFSVA) also examined the nutritional status of 24,000 children under age five. It found an improvement in national acute malnutrition rates and little change in chronic malnutrition rates. However, in five districts, stunting rates among children were described as alarming. The full CFSVA can be found on http://vam.wfp.org/country/docs?country=368.

Output 1.6: Emergency preparedness and response; access to basic health services to the most vulnerable people affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis assured

Measles outbreak: In 2008, a total of 8,134 measles cases were reported in Iraq. It is clear that the outbreak is still gaining momentum at the time of this report. The measles outbreak occurred in three waves, each taking about 19 weeks concentrated in a group of DoHs. The third wave, which started around week 47, appears to be the biggest. The first measles outbreaks in 2008 were reported from the Anbar and Salah Al-Din provinces, followed by Ninewa and Kirkuk provinces, the two latter governorates both plagued by difficult security situations for years. As a result, routine measles vaccination coverage in these areas was generally far below the country average. WHO and UNICEF supported MoH in conducting house-to- house mop-up campaigns targeting all children (1–5 years of age) in the Anbar and Salah Al-Din provinces and in selected districts and sub-districts in Ninewa and Kirkuk.

Cholera outbreak August 2008: Contaminated water led to a cholera outbreak in August 2008. The HNSOT responded jointly to the outbreak and no cholera cases have been reported since week 52. The last cholera case was reported from the Babil DoH on 17 December 2008. The cholera outbreak started in week 34 and continued for a 17-week period. That said, cholera is considered endemic in Iraq and WHO estimates that up to 600 cases of cholera occur in Iraq annually. Following the cholera outbreak in 2007, the MoH with the support of WHO has established 950 surveillance sites in Iraq. These sites report every week on acute watery diarrhea (AWD), cholera cases, and water quality. Since the confirmation of the first few cholera cases in Missan, all sites are required to report on a daily basis. In addition, the Cholera Preparedness and Response Plan was updated and operationalized and the laboratory and testing capacity of the MoH enhanced at the governorate and central levels. Cholera operation rooms chaired by the gov- ernor have been established in all governorates and are meeting on weekly basis. Logistic support was provided to health mobile teams to reinforce surveillance and distribution of water and hygiene supplies. Support of national awareness campaigns for prevention of AWD and cholera was also provided.

As a short term solution, the HN Sector, in close collaboration with the Water and Sanitation Sector, as- sessed needs and provided immediate support in terms of ORS (85,000 sachets) to affected population in Missan, Babel, Baghdad, and Wassit DoHs sufficient to treat up to 15,000 moderate cases. More than 2 million (2,110,000) water purification tablets were distributed in affected areas in Missan, Babel and Ba- sra governorates. The sector also supported water tankering to AWD high-risk districts in Baghdad, Ba- bel, Missan, Anbar, and Basra and supported the DoH to undertake a hygiene-promotion campaign in the same community. In Fallujah, 700 child and 1,800 adult hygiene kits and 1,210 family water kits were distributed. Hygiene promotion was developed and more than 1,000 teachers were trained in 341 schools.

The HNSOT trained 1,000 PHC managers and health education staff in cholera prevention education. It supported the MoH with the development of 10 TV spots on key messages for broadcast on media channels countrywide. Health facilities are now equipped with cholera emergency supplies (drugs, IV fluids, chlorine tablets, antiseptics, and laboratory supplies, chemicals, and reagents) sufficient for the proper investigation and management of up to 20,000 hospitalized cases and 200,000 outpatient AWD/cholera cases. Cholera cases are effectively and in a timely fashion detected and reported to the provincial and central authorities. A well-coordinated, strong, and rapid outbreak response has succeeded in controlling and minimizing the number of cases and preventing an explosive outbreak. The HNSOT supplied an initial quantity of zinc sufficient for the treatment of 1 million children with acute diarrhea.

VI. Other SOT Major Contributions and Implementing Partners in the Sector

Many projects undertaken through the Water and Sanitation and Education sector teams, as well as through the Expanded Humanitarian Response Fund (ERF), are critical contributors to HNSOT outcomes. Numerous additional contributions to the HNSOT were not funded through the UNDG ITF, and results and activities have therefore not been reflected in this report. Partners include, but are not necessarily limited to: national and international NGOs, Red Cross/Crescent movements, private contractors, volun- teers, and consultants from various national medical and nursing schools. They continue to be key partners in reaching the objectives of the SOT and many have been frontline operators during the large vaccination campaigns and awareness raising initiatives and partners during recent assessments. Many of these partners also play a critical role in supporting experts such as specialized surgeons or logisticians to provide training and technical support to hospitals, clinics, and other parts of the Iraqi health system.

II. Operating Context During Reporting Period

The reporting period witnessed progress toward a more stable security situation. Barring a few hot spots, most areas in the country experienced a marked reduction in the numbers and frequency of security incidents, attributed to a surge in multi-national forces, the maturing of the Iraqi Security Forces, the presence of Civilian Defense Forces (Sahwa Councils) in several locations, as well as a stronger political assertion to curb militancy. In December 2008 after a protracted period of negotiations, the Governments of Iraq and the United States entered into a Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) that will result in the incremental drawdown of the Multi-National Force-Iraq (MNF-I) and consequent transfer of security responsibility to the Iraqi Forces. All of the above in addition to a concerted move by the Government of Iraq (GoI) to en- courage returns also resulted in increased homecoming of previously displaced families (21,000 IDP families returning home between June and September 2008, CAP 2009).

With increased internally displaced person (IDP) returns, new challenges especially on land and property issues have emerged. These challenges include claims of ownership and usage rights by the current occu- pants of their homes, a lack of affordable housing units, destroyed or damaged properties, and business infrastructure that had fallen into disrepair. At the same time, there are concerns that inappropriate implementation of the Prime Ministerial Order 101 and Decree 262, on evacuating occupied houses that be- long to displaced persons, may potentially aggravate the problem by causing another form of displacement. 75

On the economic front, the sharp fall in the international price of crude oil is affecting Iraq disproportio- nately. Severe budget deficits are foreseen and the mammoth establishment expenditure, mainly related to civil service salaries, will squeeze out capital investments. This in turn will not only affect investments in basic services in existing settlements but also the expansion of new areas for housing. In August 2008 the GoI endorsed the first ever joint UN Assistance Strategy and in a way signaled a much greater acceptance of the UN‘s development cooperation efforts in Iraq. While the GoI is in principle in favor of co- financing development projects, international assistance to the sector continued to be negligible, even for supporting technical assistance and capacity building efforts.

III. Implementation Constraints and Challenges

Access to Development Resources: Despite acute needs in the housing sector, and shelter being an expressed top priority of most poor and displaced communities, the sector remains largely deprived of assistance from the international community. So far, less than 1% of total International Reconstruction Fund Facility for Iraq (IRFFI) resources have been available for housing and shelter. Similarly, Consolidated Appeals Processes failed to generate adequate interest in the sector amongst the international community.

Access to Land: The lack of developable land is the single biggest constraint to housing development in urban Iraq today. Urban land markets have stagnated as a result of state control over land. The Ministry of Municipalities and Public Works (MoMPW) has frozen land allocation pending completion of new urban development plans in Iraqi cities. As a result, little new urban land is entering the market. A shift toward decentralized urban and land management was partially legislated, but has not yet taken root.

The allocation of land in Iraq still remains within the jurisdiction and control of the central government, who need to be appropriately involved in practically every aspect of project design and implementation. Adding to that, although the governorate level structures are deconcentrated units of the central ministries, there is a significant variance in the level of understanding of procedures and practices between the two levels. As a result, unless directives from the central ministry to the local directorates are absolutely specific, actions get delayed or remain unattended to. Further, the problem becomes acute in situations where land is required for purposes other than what is already established in the statutory plans, or when required by new ministries such as the Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MoDM) that have yet to develop and institutionalize processes and structures to deal with such issues. As a result, the identification and allocation of land for IDP housing by the concerned local authorities is taking longer than expected.

Access to Cost-Effective Building Materials: Rehabilitation works in the sector suffered as a result of extended periods of non-availability of specific building materials as well as major price fluctuations of both materials and labour, on occasion requiring either change in specifications or changes in scope of work. There were difficulties in importing some of the major items particularly for the construction of storm water networks and the paving of asphalt due to the shortage of raw materials in the local market. The supply of equipment has been affected by difficulties in border crossing or through Umm-Qasr port and in obtaining custom clearances from the Iraqi authorities.

Security concerns amongst international suppliers also affected the supply of high-tech equipment that required them to conduct onsite training of personnel involved in the O&M of such equipment. This in turn limited the degree of competition that is desired under UN Financial Rules and Regulations, and holds implications on post-supply maintenance and repair support services.

Access to International Technical Assistance Advisory Services: As with the imports of high-tech equipment, procurement of international technical advisory services also faced problems of limited interest. There have been some delays in the procurement process for selecting the international resource centre to support the development of shelter manuals and training of MoDM staff. UN-HABITAT was com- pelled to rationalize the scope of this assignment in order to better attract partners without compromising the quality of the outputs. Similarly, the procurement process for identifying an international institute to 76

provide technical advisory inputs for the formulation of the National Housing Policy has also encountered some delays.

Finally, decision-making in the Ministry of Construction and Housing (MoCH) continued to be highly centralized, with practically all decision-making authority vested only in the top management. This in turn impacted the delivery rate of the ongoing sector reform project.

IV. Coverage and Counterparts

Sector efforts continued to target both national and subnational levels. While sector reforms initiatives were primarily focused at the Central Ministry levels, the sector also provided technical advisory and capacity building services for demonstration activities at pilot governorate levels. Three governorates (Erbil, Babil, and Najaf) were selected: (i) as samples from the North, Centre, and South and (ii) for their demonstrated potential for success based on the existence of networks with local champions for receiving support for the formulation of governorate-level housing strategies. On the other hand, humanitarian action was highly targeted to reach the most vulnerable households. Support for demonstration IDP/returnee housing was directed at six governorates with the highest case loads of displaced families.

Key partners included various national ministries, namely the Ministries of Construction and Housing, Planning and Development Cooperation, Municipalities and Public Works, and Displacement and Migra- tion, along with their respective Directorates at the governorate levels. The Mayoralty of Baghdad also continued to be a client for specific support related to O&M of sewage networks in Baghdad. Partnerships continued with local elected councils in the various project governorates, who are being increasingly involved in all aspects of project planning and implementation. Although not with UNDG ITF funding, UNHCR and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) continued their existing partnerships with local NGOs for activities related to protection, displacement and returns, monitoring and distribution of non-food items, and shelter support for displaced households.

During the reporting period, new partnerships were forged both at the national and international levels. UN-HABITAT has contracted the international consulting firm M/s. AECOM, to provide technical advisory inputs for the formulation of a National Housing Policy and related legislation. Similarly, UN- HABITAT is also likely to partner with an international NGO that is active in Iraq, on the formulation of the Emergency Shelter Strategy. This will help to bring in community perspectives on emergency shelter. The Netherlands-based Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies, which has worldwide experience in establishing training centres, completed its assignment in the preparation of special training modules and training of trainers for the MoCH Training and Knowledge Centre. UNDP, UN-HABITAT, and CHF International commenced work on the formulation of a project for supporting the implementation of the Erbil Housing Strategy. The choice of Erbil for this technical assistance and capacity building support was determined with the offer from the local authorities to co-finance the project. ESCWA and UN-HABITAT began work on the policy, legislative, and programme review of the building materials and construction subsectors. The Iraqi Central Office for Statistics and Informational Technology (CO- SIT) also negotiated a special memorandum of understanding with the MoCH to strengthen local capacities for establishing Housing Information Systems.

Within ministries, the selection of beneficiaries for receiving training was based on their experience, functions, and responsibilities. The implemented works during the reporting period covered the following:  Rehabilitation/construction works: Governorates of Baghdad, Samawa (Muthanna), Najaf, Ba- srah, Babil, Thi-Qar, Wassit, and Erbil.  Institutional reforms, technical advice, and capacity building: National level, Erbil, Babil, and Najaf.

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results

Outcome 1: Improved housing delivery system

The Housing Sector has been receiving limited technical assistance and capacity building support through a few UNDG ITF projects. A first phase of the Strengthening the Capacity of the Housing Sector project, completed by the end of 2006, carried out a large programme of capacity building and policy dialogue through several training workshops and study tours for GoI officials. Under the same project, a comprehensive Housing Market Study was carried out that led to detailed needs identification for six representative cities and a complete Housing Sector problem analysis. Further, several rounds of policy dialogue and consultations helped to formulate a set of guidelines for restructuring the Housing Fund along with a slum upgrading strategy, and to establish an inter-ministerial Slum Upgrading Task Force. The Iraq Na- tional Human Settlements Committee (National Habitat Committee) was reactivated. In addition, Elec- tronic Data Processing equipment has been handed over to the MoCH, Ministry of Municipalities and Public Works (MoMPW), and Amanat Baghdad. A second project completed in 2006, Strengthening Ur- ban Sector through Building Capacities in Municipal Planning and Management, undertook comprehensive reviews of laws, policies, and programmes related to the urban/municipal sectors and related capacity strengthening especially on: (i) management and urban planning practices and procedures; (ii) the potential role of public private partnerships to deliver local services; (iii) reforms of urban and land management and municipal finance related laws, policies, and programmes; and (iv) urban planning and policy development. Two reports, A State of Iraq Cities (covering six cities) and Rapid Urban Profiles (covering seven cities), that looked at development conditions including the delivery of housing and basic services, were produced with co-financing from the Government of Iraq.

During the reporting period, under the second phase of the Housing Sector Strengthening Project, UN- HABITAT contracted AECOM to provide technical advisory inputs for the formulation of a National Housing Policy and related legislation. Toward this end, a number of inter-ministerial working groups were established to look at issues of land management, provision of infrastructure and services, slum upgrading, and housing finance. Pilot housing strategies for Erbil, Babil, and Najaf were completed, reviewed, and endorsed by the respective governorate councils and the MoCH. Among other benefits, the production of these strategies have led to a better understanding of local housing supply constraints, issues, and approaches to maximize returns from local investments in housing. Following the development of the strategies, UNDP and UN-HABITAT jointly developed a project for supporting the implementation of the housing strategy for Erbil Governorate and were successful not only in securing support from the local authorities but also in securing a commitment to co-finance the project. The shortage in sector funding does not allow for similar pilot programmes to support slum improvement and implementation of the housing strategies of Babil and Najaf.

Support for the development of simplified, easily and equitably accessible pro-poor housing and shelter loan disbursement models remains a challenge due to the shortage of funds in the sector. However, this has been partially developed and operationalized by some NGOs through other sources of funds.

UN-HABITAT also supported the Training & Knowledge Centre at the MoCH to provide custom training, advisory services, and information services to a wide set of actors such as functionaries of the Minis- tries of Housing, Municipalities, and Finance; local authorities; and private sector and voluntary organizations. This was achieved through support in the production of specialized training manuals and in the training of trainers through international technical advisory inputs from the Institute of Housing Studies (IHS), The Netherlands. Twenty-three MoCH staff were trained as trainers on the following areas: (i) Housing Policies and Strategies; (ii) Building Materials and Construction Management; and (iii) Geo- graphical Information Systems (GIS) for Real Estate Development. The Economic and Social Commis- sion for Western Asia (ESCWA), which is an implementing partner, delivered two training courses for eight MoCH staff on strategic planning and general contracting in the construction sector. Subsequently and during the reporting period, the Training & Knowledge Centre organised six training workshops for

102 staff representing various ministry staff in the mentioned fields. Support from IHS also helped in the finalization of the three-year Business Plan for the Training & Knowledge Centre, which was based on the Training Needs Assessment carried out under the first phase of the Housing Sector Strengthening Project. Specialised information technology (IT) equipment and software were also supplied.

Outcome 2: Reduced number of people living without adequate shelter in the most vulnerable areas

During the reporting period, around 72 persons benefited from the renovation of 10 houses in Baghdad. The total number of completed works in Baghdad has reached 449 houses achieving 100% of the targeted number. UN-HABITAT in collaboration with the partner local authority in Samawa completed rehabilitation of the storm water networks in two neighbourhoods. The expansion and rehabilitation of the maternity and children‘s hospital in Samawa was also completed. This generated 5,200 person-days of local employment during the reporting period, taking the total of local employment generated by this project to 240,655 person-days. Also, sewer networks cleaning equipment for Baghdad Mayoralty is under procurement.

Although efforts continued to secure land for building demonstration housing to serve 800 IDP and returnee households, except in Erbil, land in the other five project governorates remains to be allocated. De- spite several consultations with the Director-General of the MoDM, this issue is yet to be resolved. UN- HABITAT is planning a stakeholder workshop representing concerned governorates and ministries in early January 2009 to resolve the land allocation issue. The procurement process for selecting an international agency to support development of an Emergency Shelter Strategy is underway. As indicated previously, international technical advisers for the National Housing Policy have been commissioned and the proposed policy is envisaged to address issues related to security of tenure.

VI. Other SOT Major Contributions and Implementing Partners in the Sector

The Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP) 2009 was initiated in December 2008. Unfortunately Housing Sector projects (from UNHCR, International Organization for Migration [IOM], and the Danish Refugee Council) are still waiting to be funded. Limited funding is being made available for sector initiatives through local NGOs from the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)-managed Emergency Response Fund. These projects, valued at a maximum of $400,000, involve distribution of non-food items (NFI) to IDPs/refugees/ hosting communities and other vulnerable groups.

IOM Iraq implemented 23 NFI distributions during the reporting period targeting: (i) 13,456 families (approximately 80,736 individuals) in 13 governorates; (ii) 4,000 school children in Basra and Thi-Qar with ―Back to School‖ NFI kits that include school materials, clothes, and shoes; and (iii) 91,838 students with school distributions in Ninewa, Basrah, and Missan.

IOM Iraq maintains warehouses in key locations around Iraq—in Erbil, Nassirya, and Baghdad. These warehouses have been crucial to making quick responses to emergencies in Iraq, including aiding Chris- tian families who fled Ninewa in October 2008.

Related initiatives by IOM included:  Distribution to 100 IDP families who were the worst impacted by the flooding that hit Choman district in Erbil. Distribution consisted of necessary supplies to provide immediate and effective shelter relief, including kerosene heaters, stoves, blankets, generators, and water tanks.  Distribution of fuel to 582 returnee families in Sheladize and Kolan tent camps in Dahuk.  Distribution of sufficient clothing to attend classes, bags, stationary, and books to 2,000 vulnerable IDP, returnee, and host community children in Missan. This project has been repeated in Thi- Qar.

 Distribution of fuel, heaters, and fire extinguishers to 10 schools with high concentrations of IDPs, returnees, and other vulnerable populations in Ninewa, benefiting 4,338 students directly.  Distribution of NFIs to 532 female-headed households in Kirkuk. These are beneficiaries of WFP food aid, and IOM supplemented the food baskets with winter NFIs. Distribution included essential items such as mattresses, stoves, heaters, children‘s and women‘s clothing, and a ration of heating fuel as well as kitchen and hygiene kits.  Distribution of NFIs to 1,025 IDP families with handicapped members in Anbar. Distribution included heaters, carpets, blankets, plastic sheeting, mattresses, and stoves to cope better with the winter.

II. Operating Context During Reporting Period

Agriculture. Despite significant improvements in security, particularly in Baghdad, lack of security is a continuing obstacle forcing the agencies to manage their projects remotely from Amman with the assistance of national coordinators in Iraq and active involvement of counterpart representatives. Nevertheless, sector agencies have started to enhance their presence in the country by increasing the number of national staff and creating a stronger international presence in Baghdad, Erbil, and other governorates. A primary problem is the lack of technical expertise for maintaining agricultural production. A key challenge is to

operate effectively in Iraq‘s complex environment given the collapse of various state institutions. Capac- ity building of state institutions and line ministries will continue to be a major programmatic focus of Food Security, Agriculture and Food Assistance Sector (AFSSOT) interventions over the short to medium term.

Food Assistance. The World Food Programme (WFP) developed an emergency operation in 2008 in consultation with the Iraqi Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MoDM), UN agencies, and Cooperating Partners to respond to the food needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs). This project was planned for 12 months (January–December 2008), targeting up to 750,000 food-insecure IDPs with a total resource requirement of 69,750 MT of food commodities valued at US$91.4 million. The EMOP (Emergency Programme) was designed to serve as a stop-gap measure to help meet the immediate food needs of people newly displaced and programmed to phase out with the absorption of IDPs into the Public Dis- tribution System (PDS). The first distributions took place in March 2008 and resulted in extending the operation to March 2009.

The distribution was carried out by five cooperating partners, namely Action d‘Aide à la Coopération Technique et au Développement (ACTED), the Iraqi Red Crescent Society, Islamic Relief, Mercy Corps and Mercy Hands under the umbrella of the MoDM and the Directorate of Displacement and Migrants Food distribution in Najaf (May 2009) (DDM) in the Kurdistan Region. Distributions of food commodities were conducted in close coordination with local authorities and supervised by WFP field staff. Throughout the 2008 implementation, the flow of IDPs was reduced as a result of the improved security situation in Iraq. WFP food assistance in 2008 reached a maximum of 510,000 IDPs in the beneficiary cycle, representing 68% of the planned figure. In some governorates, the number of IDPs reached was only 23% of the planned figures and resulted in 43% of the planned tonnage in 2008.

An emergency needs assessment conducted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in February 2009 showed that 19% of the post-Samarra IDPs do not have access to PDS rations, and an estimated 44% have only periodic access to the PDS across the country. Some IDPs have been integrated into the PDS in their place of displacement and approximately 20% have returned home from other governorates. According to post-food distribution monitoring reports, the food security situation of IDPs improved in 2008. There was a reduction in the percentage of food-insecure IDPs, from 38% with poor dietary diversity in February 2008 to only 2% in December 2008. The IDP registration has currently stopped in the majority of governorates across Iraq due to both lack of new displacements and the current intention of the MoDM to focus on return, integration, and reintegration for IDP families.

WFP is also involved in supporting the Government of Iraq (GoI) in reforming the PDS. In August 2008, the GoI released a draft ―road map‖ for the reform of the PDS, proposing that the PDS phase out from blanket coverage to targeted assistance to the most vulnerable. WFP leads the inter-agency task force based in Baghdad to advise the Government on PDS reform.

With improvements in security, the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) is looking to increase its presence inside Iraq. As of the second half of 2008, WFP has two international staff based inside Iraq: one Policy Advisor in Baghdad and one Emergency Coordinator in Erbil.

III. Implementation Constraints and Challenges

Agriculture. The tense security situation continues to cause delays in the implementation of some projects as was the case in the installation of a closed recirculation system and pilot cages in Suweira Dis- trict in Waasit Governorate. Similarly, the security situation in Al-Qadissiya Governorate further deteriorated during the reporting period where curfews and restrictions on movement have prevented the timely unfolding of project activities. The nomination of candidates by the Ministry of Agriculture for training abroad took longer than expected (on average three to four months), causing several training sessions to be postponed for administrative and logistical reasons. Moreover, prolonged procedures for obtaining visas and sometimes the denial of visas for the trainees travelling outside Iraq caused the postponement and sometimes the cancellation of training workshops. This situation is now improving for trainings in Jordan; however, there are still a number of countries where out-of-country trainings for Iraqi technicians remains problematic and bureaucratically cumbersome. The unavailability of adequate technical resources in the line ministries continues to constrain the implementation of some of the projects, causing considerable delays.

An extended drought in the North during the past 12 months has caused a major delay in the implementation of UNESCO‘s intervention—the rehabilitation and conservation of the Kahrez system in Northern Iraq. Project activities to conduct baseline surveys, rehabilitation, and post-rehabilitation surveys depended on a minimum level of groundwater discharge, which has been particularly low during the course of the project. Furthermore, the technical team of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Ministry of Water Resources assigned to the project was diverted away from the project for four months during the summer of 2008, when water scarcity was most acute. As a result, the team was not available to follow the implementation timetable during this time.

Food Assistance. Constraints and challenges include: low utilization of commodities due to non- performance of Iraq Red Crescent Society (IRCS); beneficiaries list not updated by GoI agencies on time; health certification is a major issue in transporting commodities into Iraq as there are multiple actors involved inside Iraq; and low capacity of implementing ministries in Ninewa, Salah al-Din, and Baghdad.

IV. Coverage and Counterparts

The Agriculture and Food Security Sector works closely with various state and local authorities but mainly the line ministries, namely: the Ministries of Agriculture, Water Resources, Industry and Minerals, Planning and Development Cooperation, Trade, Displacement and Migration, and the State Ministry of Marshlands. The SOT also works with many state departments under these ministries in all the Iraqi governorates. These ministries are the main recipients of support and are involved in all stages of programme design, planning, implementation, monitoring, and close out.

AFSSOT interventions target all agricultural and agro-industrial sectors in addition to providing livelih- ood support to IDPs through the Food Assistance component of the sector. The geographical coverage varies from nationwide projects to governorate level and some area-based projects as per the need. AFS- SOT members include: FAO, WFP, UNIDO, UNESCO, IOM, ACTED, IRD, and CHF International.

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results Agriculture. Extension services capacity building for Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) counterparts included a training of trainers (ToTs) programme for 139 trainers. A total of 1,002 beneficiaries were trained on food-related professions in the governorates of Erbil, Sulaimaniyah, and Dahuk in the fields of beekeeping and honey processing, dairy farm processing, fruit and vegetable processing, bulgur processing, and olive processing. An additional 1,150 vulnerable and unemployed people have been trained in the fields of welding, carpentry, sewing, carpet making, ceramic works, leather, and other agro- industries cottage activities in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah governorates. Over 525 youth were trained in electrical wiring, ceramics, coolant systems, generator repair, computer software applications, argon-welding, etc. FAO, UNIDO, and the local authorities in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah have established 15 model Pro- duction Groups (PGs).

Thirteen trainers from Al-Qadissiya governorate have participated in Business Management and Enter- prise Development and Promotion training sessions. UNIDO recently completed its Industrial Survey of Small and Medium Enterprises involved in the agro-industrial sector. This survey covered all medium enterprises and 10% of the small ones. It also involved capacity building for the staff of the Central Organization for Statistics and Information Technology (COSIT) and the Ministry of Planning and Development Cooperation (MoPDC) and introduced new technologies for data collection and analysis.

To increase agricultural productivity, in collaboration with both the Ministry of Water Resources (MoWR) and the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), the sector has supported rehabilitating and lining distribution canals. So far, 67 stream intake structures and 53 spring water col- lectors out of a total 120 planned irrigation schemes (1,900 hectares) have been rehabilitated. Water User As- Beekeeping kits distributed to beneficiaries sociations have been established to manage the infrastructure. Fourteen technical staff of the Directorate of Water Resources and Irrigation of Dohuk, Erbil, and Suleimaniyah were trained to sustain these interventions.

The sector is working now on rehabilitating and modernizing one of the biggest date processing and packaging companies in Iraq. Equipment was procured for the Date Palm Tissue Culture Laboratory, and training and capacity building in International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 22000 and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) were provided. The company was involved in two international exhibitions and has procured an international license that allows it to export to EU countries and the USA.

A ToT was provided to 27 technical staff from the MoA and the Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) in the areas of database design (2 participants), different components of integrated pest management (20 participants), and bio-technology (5 participants). The construction of two quarantine check points has commenced in Safwan (Basra Governorate) and Zarbatiya (Wassit Governorate) to enforce food security control over incoming food imports.

To diversify inland fisheries practices, FAO trained three scientists from the General Board of Fish Re- sources Development (GBFRD) on the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in inland fisheries and aquaculture development at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in Thailand. An additional six GBFRD scientists have been trained at the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA) on broodstock management, disease diagnosis, and fish nutrition and feed formulation. FAO continues to contribute to capacity building for planning and development of: (i) fish seed quality assur- ance, (ii) fish disease monitoring, and (iii) fish feed development programmes. A workshop to cover these

topics was delayed until May/June 2009 to avoid the fish breeding season, as GBFRD personnel are occupied with breeding programmes.

In its pursuit to improve agricultural policy, during September/October 2008 the sector conducted the first general national livestock survey in Iraq since 1986/1987, with the participation of 500 enumerators and the direct and full involvement of the MoA, MoPDC, and COSIT. The livestock survey was coupled with the establishment of an information system centre at the MoA headquarters, which will be responsible for a monthly update of the livestock sector. This will be extended in the future to cover all agricultural sectors. FAO has completed a draft of the Seed Law in Iraq. This was submitted to the MoA for revision and final endorsement.

Food Assistance. Food was the best-funded sector in the CAP 2008, at 84% funded. WFP and the GoI launched a Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis (CFSVA) on 12 November 2008, which shows that, while pockets of vulnerability remain, the overall food security situation has improved dramatically since the last survey was conducted in 2005. The number of food-insecure people has fallen from 4 million to fewer than 1 million. However, there are a further 6.4 million people who would slide into food insecurity if it were not for safety nets, such as the Public Distribution System (PDS). Discus- sions on PDS Reform have begun with WFP leading the Task Force on PDS Reform based in Baghdad. Channels for inputs to this reform process are now established through the AFSSOT to the WFP Policy Advisor in Baghdad and Erbil. The AFSSOT was active in contingency planning for the DIBS (disputed internal boundaries between Kurdish and Central Government control), building on lessons learned earlier in 2008 from contingency and response planning in Sadr City, Basra, and Amara.

WFP has reached over 625,000 people with food assistance through the following five cooperating partners: ACTED, IRCO, Islamic Relief, Mercy Corps, and Mercy Hands. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reached a further 39,300 people. Many Christian families were displaced by violence in Mosul. WFP responded immediately with emergency food assistance to 4,300 people. In 2008, the AFS- SOT was active in contingency planning and response for the emergencies in Sadr City, Basra, Mosul, Amara, and the DIBS. WFP delivered 296 MT of emergency food assistance to 38,500 residents of Sadr City. IOM delivered 2,000 food baskets to hospitals in Sadr City and Shula and delivered 1,500 food baskets to hospitals in Basra, Wassit, Babylon, and Qadissiya during Sadr City and Basra crises.

II. Operating Context During Reporting Period

A significant decrease in violent, high-visibility, high-casualty attacks by militias or criminal gangs was witnessed during the reporting period. Nonetheless, grave and systematic human rights violations continued, although less visible and less widely reported. Despite improved security conditions in Baghdad, Amarah, and Mosul after operations against armed militias, concerns remain about the physical safety and legal protection of hundreds of suspects who have been arrested, including children, as well as detention conditions and lack of due process following detention. According to UNHCR and IOM, refugees and internally displaced persons continued to return to their places of origin, and there was no major incidence of displacement during the last quarter. Approximately 2,200 Christian families left Mosul after the kill- ing of at least a dozen Christians between 7 and 10 October 2008. The killings were followed by threaten- ing messages disseminated in Christian neighborhoods by loudspeakers mounted on cars, and the bomb- ing of Christian dwellings in Mosul.

The multinational force in Iraq formally transferred security responsibilities to the Iraqi army in Al-Anbar Governorate in September 2008, Babil Governorate on 23 October 2008, and Wassit Governorate on 27 October 2008, bringing the number of provinces under Iraqi security control to 13. On 20 August, Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki formed a committee led by the Minister of the Interior, Jawad Al-Bolani, to in- vestigate events in Diyala. A new agreement on a separation of forces in and around Khanaqin town was subsequently achieved on 5 September. The situation there remains tense but stable.

Although United States Forces continue to release detainees, the original plan to transfer all United States Forces detainees to Iraqi custody by 1 January 2009 was abandoned. This was due to the lack of space in Iraqi detention facilities and the lack of capacity of the Iraqi judicial system to process thousands of cases. Iraqi authorities will review 1,500 cases per month while United States Forces retain physical custody of the detainees. Detainees for whom an Iraqi judge issues no arrest warrant will be released 30 days after the submission of the case file to the Iraqi authorities. In June 2008, 21,881 detainees including more than 1,000 children were facing legal processes and those held by Multi-National Force-Iraq (MNF-I). As of 17 December 2008, the number of detainees in United States Forces facilities in Iraq had dropped to 15,600 adult males and 38 minors. Physical custody of the detainees remains with United States Forces for now; only legal custody has been passed on to the Iraq authorities.

III. Implementation Constraints and Challenges

Rapid collection of accurate information continues to be difficult, yet the Protection Sector has been able to organize the collection and verification of information on the civilian situation during the reporting period. Delays in project implementation have been caused by: (i) insecurity and instability in some parts of the country; (ii) protracted discussions with government ministries on the initiation and implementation of projects; (iii) postponement of meetings and workshops within Iraq; and (iv) the lengthy process of nominating participants for training events.

The security situation in Basra and other southern parts of Iraq has considerably improved, thus addressing the largest constraint against improving the outreach of Mine Action projects and achieving the clearance targets in the last reporting period. However, in the last week of December 2008, a decision from the Iraqi Ministry of Defense was issued to halt civil demining operations in the whole of Iraq, until such time when discussion on the institutional structure for mine action are finalized. This halt in operations is expected to affect the achievements and clearance output of national NGOs.

IV. Coverage and Counterparts

The primary recipients of support from the Protection Sector include Iraqi authorities and institutions such as the Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MoDM), Ministry of Environment (MoEn), the High Judicial Council, Juvenile Justice Coordination Committee, Ministry of Human Rights (MoHR), Ministry of Interior (MoI), Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MoLSA), Ministry of Youth and Sports (MoYS), National Mine Action Authority (renamed as the Directorate of Mine Action [DMA]), Regional Mine Authorities and Mine Centers, and Ministry of Women‘s Affairs. These institutions were chosen because of their responsibilities and mandates for the protection of the civilian population. The sector also worked with a variety of local NGOs and civil society organizations in creating awareness on protection risks and responses. The sector has worked at national level particularly on issues related to policy development and on the review of legislation. Between the UN agencies, inter-governmental organizations such as the International Organization for Migration and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), and the international and national NGOs, the sector has worked in all governorates. The selection of areas in the different governorates was based on the level of vulnerability as well as on security and protection threats. Partnerships with MoDM have helped to monitor and map areas with high concentrations of IDPs/returnees in displacement, living in inadequate shelter. A key change toward the end of 2008 was the involvement of the International Red Cross as UNHCR‘s implementing partner in Makhmour camp and the involvement of International Medical Corps in the management of return cells in the center.

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results

During the reporting period, the Protection Sector has continued its work in strengthening the capacity and expanding UNHCR‘s network of Protection Assistance Centers (PACs) to ensure beneficiaries‘ access to efficient and effective services, as well as to legal protection, in all 18 governorates. Fourteen PACs were operational with at least one mobile team in addition to five independent Dedicated Outreach Mobile Teams (DMTs) in Anbar, Mosul, Diyala, Babylon, and Salah Al Din. Thirty-four mobile teams enabled needs assessments of target populations particularly in rural areas or where large numbers of IDPs are concentrated. Mobile teams reached 70% of beneficiaries and the remaining 30% were assisted at centers. PACs rely on the services of 136 Iraqi staff (lawyers, managers/team leaders, social workers, monitors, and public information and data base officers), 40% of whom are female. PACs positively contributed to the establishment of sustainable protection mechanisms by the government, civil society, and communities and increased access to basic services. As for protection monitoring and information gather- ing, 708 Protection Monitoring Community assessments (tracking 874,713 persons of concern) were conducted throughout Iraq to identify protection needs and gather information on the protection environment.

Mobile teams assisted a total of 21,908 clients, classified as follows: asylum seeker (35), IDP (15,159), IDP returnee (4,175), refugee (264), refugee returnee (1,196), refugee returnee into displacement (18), stateless person (1), vulnerable community member (1,060).

Needs assessment and project identification were conducted through 3,326 mobile team visits to villages, settlements, public buildings, collective centers, camps, and communities. Individuals were assisted and protected through a referral system that enabled them to receive NFIs and to access medical care. Some 7,303 clients were referred to PACs, and PAC staff referred 9,205 cases to service providers including NGOs, UNHCR, MoDM, IRC, or another PACs. PACs provided legal assistance to 26,667 individuals (38% of whom were women).These persons included: post-Samara IDPs (17,129), pre-Samara IDPs (1,349), refugee returnees (1,616), refugee returnee into displacement (18), IDP returnees (4,862), refugees (332), asylum-seekers (15), stateless individuals (1), and community members with specific needs (1,345). In addition, 19,010 cases were solved relating to basic rights: helping beneficiaries access services (9,096), obtain documents (6,909), and positively resolve personal status, inheritance, and documentation issues through court proceedings (3,005).

Protection Sector member UN agencies have actively worked with implementing partners (IPs) and other partners to ensure that adequate protection information was made available to stakeholders for necessary interventions. PACs have organized various activities such as workshops (66), briefings (31), trainings (20), informa- Palestinian refugees settling in Al Waleed tion campaigns (51), meetings (12), interviews with TV Camp site. IP/UNHCR Iraq networks and newspapers, and posters. The purpose of these activities was to raise awareness about important protection populations and issues: women and children, gender based violence (GBV), elections, displacement, human rights, and disease prevention (hygiene, HIV, and cholera). In close coordination and with support to the above mentioned initiatives, UNHCR chairs the Protection Outcome Team and IDP working group, where UNICEF and UNAMI Hu- man Rights Office (HRO) are the sector‘s deputy leads.

During the reporting period, the sector supported MoLSA in providing an orientation on international juvenile justice standards to 60 judges, reformatory staff, social workers, and juvenile police in Baghdad. The orientation also provided the opportunity to discuss priority actions to prevent children and young people at risk from getting into contact with the law and also to protect those who are already caught up in

the formal justice system. Under its humanitarian assistance programme, Protection Sector member agencies supported the training of 70 key government officials and NGO staff (47 male and 23 female) in data collection and child protection in emergencies.

Working under the umbrella of the Protection Sector, UNICEF is leading the establishment of a mechanism to monitor, report, and respond to grave child rights violations within the framework of Security Council Resolution 1612. A multi-agency working group has been formed and, by December 2008, it developed Iraqi-specific guidelines for monitoring and reporting on grave child rights violations as well as a Code of Conduct for partners who will be involved in the mechanism. The Protection Sector collaborated with MoYS to support the training of 24 youth centre managers and administrators as master trainers on child and youth participation in their own protection. These master trainers have provided similar training to 430 young people in Baghdad, Basra, Erbil, Wasit, Missan, and ThiQar, opening channels for young people to become proactive in promoting their own protection.

During the reporting period, Protection Sector member agencies supported the sector‘s implementing partner Enfant du Monde in reuniting 71 children (13 female and 58 male), who were residing in orphanages, with their families. These children also benefited from reintegration assistance including enrolment in schools, support for vocational training opportunities, and psychosocial counseling for children and their families. Monitoring reports and follow-up visits indicate that the reunited children are adjusting well within their family settings. Monitoring visits by Enfants du Monde indicate that caregivers who received training in the first half of 2008 were now better able to provide quality care and protection services to the 510 children who reside in 20 state houses under MoLSA.

Between July and December the sector supported its implementing partner Heartland Alliance to provide psychosocial helping skills to an additional 931 teachers (350 men and 581 women), bringing the total of trained teachers in 2008 to 1,586 (654 male and 932 female). These teachers are providing psychosocial assistance to 47,963 students (29,110 boys and 18,853 girls) in 97 schools in Baghdad, Basrah, Wassit, Erbil, Missan, and ThiQar. Suit- able shelter structures were identified for IDPs and returnees. Shelter designs were completed and data collection to support the development of the emergency shelter strategy has begun.

Mine Action outputs included 8.73 million square meters of contaminated land made safe for use by local communities in Basrah. Capacity development of Mine Action national institutions continued with a three-day strategic planning course and a Mine Action exchange programme to Suleimaniyah for Mine Action NGO staff in Basra. In terms of information Rafidain demining at work. IP/UNDP management, the national NGO, Rafidain Demining Organi- Iraq zation, took part in an operational and geographic information system (GIS) and mapping course and now have map-producing knowledge. The national Mine Ac- tion authority (re-named as Directorate of Mine Action) was also supported in: (i) drafting national mine action standards, (ii) preparing the transparency report in response to Ottawa treaty obligations, and (iii) preparing for drafting a national Mine Action strategic plan. To enhance the protection of children from mines and explosive remnants, UNICEF supported the provision of mine-risk education to 64,393 school children (30,966 boys and 33,427 girls) and 85,265 community members (72,812 men and 12,453 women) in Basrah, Missan, and ThiQar.

To enable the development of more appropriate response strategies for effective mine-risk education (MRE), the Protection Sector supported Handicap International to conduct a knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) survey on MRE in Kurdistan Region, covering 207 villages, 630 households, and 289

children. Handicap International conducted 60 focus group discussions and interviewed 50 informants as control groups. Although findings reveal high knowledge, it has not translated into attitude and practice changes. During the same period, the sector supported Iraqi Health and Social Care Organization (IHS- CO) to conduct MRE needs assessments in four central and southern governorates covering 160 communities in Anbar, Babil, Baghdad, and Salaheddin. To enhance protection for refugees in Iraq, 10,558 Pales- tinians in Baghdad have now been successfully registered jointly by MoDM and MoI, with technical assistance provided by the sector. Discussions with the MoI and MoDM as well as representatives from the Palestinian Embassy in Baghdad reached agreement on the type of ID documents to be issued to third- country refugees. For some refugees, resettlement has been the only durable solution. As of 30 June 2008, 83 cases (347 individuals) have been submitted for resettlement. The breakdown is: 39 Palestinian cases (166 individuals); 42 Iranian cases (179 individuals), and 2 Somali individuals. Furthermore, for the ―Im- proving Access for IDPs and Returnees to Acceptable Shelter Solutions‖ project, Erbil city has allocated the land and the site survey process will be initiated. The major achievement is the governorate agreement to contribute to the project cost through provision of serviced land. In all other locations, the project has experienced major delays of land allocations for IDP and returnee houses. Despite several consultations with the Director-General from MoDM, this issue is yet to be resolved.

The sector continued its work on monitoring and reporting on the human rights situation in Iraq. These reports are taken seriously by the Iraqi government, NGOs, and the international community at large. Re- porting and exposing violations of human rights in Iraq has an indirect deterring effect as the government both at the central and regional levels is concerned about its public image internationally. One positive development during the reporting period is the passing of the draft law related to the establishment of an Independent Human Rights Commission by the Council of Representatives. The establishment of this commission will be instrumental in providing protection and addressing human rights violations in Iraq. The sector held a number of training sessions and workshops on human rights and protection issues. In recognition of the importance of an independent and functioning judiciary in enforcing the rule of law and protecting human rights in Iraq, a training workshop was organized with the participation of 45 judges, prosecutors, and lawyers from central Iraq and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The focus was the role of judiciary in protection of human rights in criminal justice, including counterterrorism.

New projects currently anticipated under the Protection Sector include: Strengthening the Capacities of MoDM‘s Branch Offices (UNHCR, International Organization for Migration); Strengthening Protection and Justice for Children in Iraq (UNICEF, UNFPA, and UNAMI-HRO); Combating Violence against Women in Three Governorates (UNFPA, UNIFEM, and UNHCR); Protection of Human Rights Defend- ers and Journalists in Iraq (UNESCO, UNOPS, and UNAMI HRO); and Support to Iraq through the Uni- versal Periodic Review Mechanism (UNAMI HRO and UNOPS).

VI. Other SOT Major Contributions and Implementing Partners in the Sector

In addition to the UNDG-ITF–funded projects, UNDP Mine Action is also supported bilaterally (Gov- ernments of Italy, Japan, Australia, and UK; US Department of State; and UNDP core resources) for activities in three governorates in the Kurdistan Region, Baghdad, and Basrah. Activities include: supporting operational capacity and institutional development, preparing a draft decree, drafting national and regional regulatory structures, and conducting strategic planning workshops for the new National Mine Ac- tion Strategy. Moreover, UNDP Mine Action is also supporting Victim Assistance initiatives through projects for Mine/Explosive Remnants of War victims, providing physiotherapy, mobility aids, and income generation.

II. Operating Context During Reporting Period

The United Nations Assistance Strategy for Iraq 2008–2010 was signed on 13 August 2008 by the Gov- ernment of Iraq (GoI) and the UN. The focus is mobilizing Iraq‘s own resources and building its capacity for good governance. It is closely aligned with the GoI‘s National Development Strategy and the Interna- tional Compact with Iraq and supports adherence to the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, to which Iraq is now a signatory.

During the reporting period the intensive military operations of the GoI came to closure, particularly in Basra and southern areas and in Baghdad. Public statements by the GoI and by many Iraqis running for

elected office in the governorates began emphasizing the need for service delivery and for employment for all Iraqis. Iraqis and international stakeholders were seized with the challenge of negotiating new terms and conditions for military cooperation after 31 December, the date of expiration of the UN Resolu- tion that framed the Multinational Force in Iraq. The price of oil began to fall, presaging a return to fiscal constraints for reconstruction and development. Iraqis expressed muted hopes in the future, perhaps re- flecting the exhaustion from nearly six years of occupation, anticipating a new era of national control and responsibility for security, and faced with the daunting task of reforming and modernizing the state.

III. Implementation Constraints and Challenges

The top challenge for programme implementation in Iraq during the reporting period was security. Due to the security situation, remote management of the Governance SOT from Amman continued as in the previous period—similarly for all SOTs. This modality hinders the flow of assistance, communication with counterparts, logistical preparation, and information sharing between the UN, counterparts, and Iraq- based partners. UN security measures limit the number of international staff present at one time in Iraq and limit free movement outside the International Zone in Baghdad. Fielding international staff in the newly established governorate offices is also limited by logistics and accommodations.

IV. Coverage and Counterparts

During the reporting period, the Governance Sector focused primarily on supporting the Iraqi national government and the Kurdistan regional government. The national census project will register the greatest geographic and population coverage, including all governorates. Some selected governorates such as Su- leimaniyah (Sayed Sadeq and New Halabja), Babil (Hillah City), and the marshlands areas of Thi Qar, Missan, and Basrah governorates (Mdaina, Chibayesh, and Maymouna districts) participated in activities of the Local Area Development Project (LADP). Nationwide support to NGOs continued through partnerships with the NGO Coordination Committee in Iraq (NCCI) and its 80 member organizations. Prominent implementing partners of the Governance Sector include: Albany Associates, IREX Europe, BBC World Service Trust, Aswat Al-Iraq, Reuters Thomson Foundation, Index on Censorship, International Founda- tion for Electoral Systems, Friedrich-Ebert Stiftung, Amman Centre for Human Rights Studies, Synergy, ATS, Nashita, Audit Bureau of Egypt, Audit Bureau of Jordan, Court of Accounts of Tunisia, National Audit Office of the United Kingdom, Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, World Bank, NGO Coordination Committee in Iraq (NCCI), Canadian International Development Agency, Insan Iraqi Society, AIDMA International Development, Juvenile Justice Coordination Committee, Save the Children UK, International Medical Corps, Norwegian Church Aid, Norwegian People‘s Aid, Child Rights Network, and the Arab Institute for Human Rights Tunisia, Sheik Khalifa Foundation.

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results

During the reporting period, progress was observed most significantly in Outcomes 1 and 4. In addition to meeting their respective development mandates, the UN agencies, as members of the SOT, contributed significantly to the achievement of the goals of the UN Mission in Iraq (UNAMI), particularly to the work 103

of the Elections, Constitution and Legal Affairs, Political Affairs, and Human Rights units. Although not structured as an integrated mission, the UN Country Team and UNAMI ―delivered as one‖ during the reporting period.

Outcome 1: Strengthened electoral processes in Iraq

The provincial election law was enacted during the reporting period, including provisions for minority representation in Baghdad, Basra, and Ninewa. This law provides for an open list system, which will give Iraqis greater choice in determining the individual candidates who will represent them. The law further mandates that at least 25% of elected representatives shall be women. The Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC), assisted by UNAMI, UNDP, and UNOPS, prepared to conduct provincial elections scheduled for 31 January 2009, including preparing voter registration; certifying political parties and candidates; developing strategies and processes for polling, counting, and IHEC; conducting outreach to media and civil society; and procuring materials for voters‘ lists and ballots. These activities were supported by capacity building programmes to ensure training of the 260,000 staff recruited by the IHEC. Together with partner organizations (UNDP and UNOPS), UNAMI provided extensive technical assistance for drafting media regulations and policies on elections coverage and capacity development for 45,000 national elections observers and media monitors. The IHEC demonstrated the ability to mobilize a nationwide voter registration update during a six-week period without serious security or logistical problems. This is a significant contribution by the Governance Sector to Outcome 1, strengthened electoral processes in Iraq.

Iraqi men and women participating in elections

Through 75 NGO grants under UNOPS‘s Electoral Education Campaign Project, a total of 20,331 public awareness grassroots activities were implemented from July to December 2008 in the 19 electoral governorates, with total participants numbering 264,126, of whom 107,690 were women. Significant contributions through ―new media‖ include YouTube films and blogs on elections, nationwide training for journalists, and a new institutional website (www.ihec.iq). UNDP supported a grassroots NGO and media campaign to promote participation of women as candidates and voters.

Outcome 2: Strengthened national dialogue and civil society for governance and reconciliation

In July 2008, the Constitutional Review Committee presented a second report in which it outlined a set of politically divisive issues on which a consensus had not been reached. These issues include the powers of the Iraqi presidency, the respective powers of governorates and regions vis-à-vis the centre, the constitutional dimensions of hydrocarbon management, and the status of Kirkuk.

104

Four roundtable discussions on national dialogue and reconciliation were organized in Baghdad by UN- AMI and UNOPS with a representation of Members of Parliament, members of the Constitutional Review Committee, representatives of the GoI, representatives of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and Kurdistan National Assembly, several invited experts, and the UN, in the periods of 14–15 July and 23– 26 November. The first roundtable provided a platform for open discussion mainly of issues related to federalism and hydrocarbon revenues. UNOPS, through a grant fund project on peacebuilding, in the Kir- kuk District of Rapareen supported civil society initiatives aimed at countering conflict trends in ethnical- ly and religiously mixed communities. Support was also rendered to similar projects in Baghdad. Regard- ing women‘s participation in the governing process and peace building, UNIFEM supported a draft study to transform the State Ministry of Women Affairs into a full ministry. In support of child rights within the context of national dialogue on reconciliation and cross-community collaboration, a specialized network of civil society organizations and NGOs was established with the support of UNICEF in partnership with Save the Children UK. This network, the Iraqi Child Rights Network (ICRN), conducted a nationwide situation analysis on the impact of violence on children.

For the Ministries of Human Rights and Jus- The Iraq Legal Database (ILD) homepage at www.iraqi-ild.org tice, a series of training and planning workshops were conducted with the purpose of capacity building and development of the national policy and strategy on addressing transitional justice issues. A desk study on transitional justice was done by the UN and the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) as a baseline for the forthcoming activities.

Outcome 3: Enhanced rule of law and respect for human rights in line with international standards

The law establishing an Independent High Commission for Human Rights (drafted two years ago) was passed during the reporting period. Human rights training was conducted for officials from the Ministries of Defence and Interior responsible for monitoring performance of the forces.

The Iraqi Legal Database (ILD) was launched live on the internet at www.iraqi-ild.org, making the entire corpus of Iraqi law, published from 1917 to 2008, available to judges, lawyers, academics, lawmakers, and all other individuals or institutions that rely on legal knowledge in a single, freely accessible, search- able database. Five training courses on using the ILD were conducted for Iraqi users including judges, lawyers, and legal officers of government ministries and the Council of Representatives, enabling legal practitioners to research and cite the law as a basis for their arguments.

Outcome 4: Strengthened regulatory frameworks, institutions, and processes of national and local governance

The Preparatory Phase for Support to Decentralisation and Local Governance for Service Delivery was developed during the reporting period in a partnership of nine UN agencies and organizations. The Gov- ernance Sector is also leading the development of a multi-sectoral, multi-agency public sector reform and modernization programme, in support of the GoI‘s envisioned comprehensive civil service reform, improvement and standardization of policy, planning and general management functions of government, and their automation as a precursor to e-governance. Capacity development of the Board of Supreme Audit (BSA) continued through curricular development in specialized areas of financial audit and the reinsertion

105

of the BSA into regional and global associations. For the first time in its 81-year history, the BSA introduced performance audit into its functions.

The Council of Representatives passed the national census bill during the reporting period and the GoI is on track with preparations to conduct the census in October 2009, with technical assistance from the UN.

During the reporting period, Iraq became a signatory to the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness. In support of the Paris Declaration, staff from the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development received training on use of the Donor Assistance Data- base (DAD), and donors participated in workshops and information sessions to improve data submission. The External Relations Management Unit (ERMU) in the KRG- Ministry of Planning (MoP) developed a strategic development plan for its regional component of the DAD.

In support of UNSC Resolution 1770, senior and junior diplomats of the Ministry of For- eign Affairs received training on mechanisms and processes to support regional diplomacy, including preparation of meetings; negotia- tion and consensus development; and drafting of papers, commitments, and resolutions. Active discussion during an anti-corruption workshop At the governorate/district level, the LADP supported a series of district socio-economic development planning workshops during which participants listed priority projects for each sector over five years. The LADP developed a specialised website to facilitate fast-track project submissions (www.ladp-iraq.org).

VI. Other SOT Major Contributions and Implementing Partners in the Sector

Rule of Law and Human Rights — On 12 September the European Commission supported the GoI, UNDP, and UNOPS in launching a project entitled, ―Support to the Rule of Law and Justice in Iraq,‖ with the High Judicial Council of Iraq; the Ministries of Justice, Human Rights, and Labour and Social Affairs; and the Iraq Bar Association. This effort involves two subprojects: support to judicial and non-judicial institutions, and support to the national programme for the protection of detainees and torture victims.

Anti-Corruption — A 5-year programme to support Iraqi compliance with the United Nations Conven- tion Against Corruption (UN-CAC) was launched in September, as a partnership between the GoI, UNDP, and the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, the custodian of the UN-CAC. A comprehensive study of the legal framework to address corruption was completed, together with orientation trainings on the UN- CAC for the major anti-corruption institutions. Initial funds for this programme were obtained from the Government of the United States to support activities during 2008–2009.

Local Area Development Plan (LADP) — UNDP has been successful in establishing a development partnership with the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA), which is seeking to achieve similar development impacts in some of the areas covered by LADP in the South (marshlands). This cooperation/partnership has effectively added SEK 15 million (US$2,358,491) to the UNDP budget.

Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) — Under the title of ―Capacity Development on MDG Moni- toring, Reporting, and Planning at the National and Local Level in Iraq,‖ the UNDP launched the Iraq Info database (www.iraqinfo-online.org).

II. Operating Context During Reporting Period

Economic recovery is one of the major challenges faced in post-conflict societies. While economic development effectively reduces the risk of relapsing into conflict, it takes a long time. Over the past couple of years, Iraq has shown good signs of economic recovery. The improvement in the overall situation was even more prominent in the second half of 2008. The rate of economic growth at the end of 2008 was 44.2% mainly due to 50% oil price hikes compared to 2007 current prices. The rate of economic inflation decreased from 16% in 2007 to 12% in the last quarter of 2008 as a result of financial policies aimed at decreasing inflation and improving the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar. The Central Bank of Iraq policy interest rate has been reduced to 15% as of November 2008. Containment of inflation and flexible monetary policy through the policy interest rate is expected to have a positive effect on the currently frail banking sector. The Government of Iraq (GoI) has also succeeded in reducing national debt and has signed a number of bilateral agreements with Paris Club countries by which those countries are to cancel nearly $45 billion of the total national debt, which totals more than $52 billion. As of December 2008, Iraq has restructured its external debt with all its Paris Club creditors.

Despite notable economic improvements, however, the political and security situation is still a detriment to sustained macroeconomic development. Moreover, the reliance of the Iraqi economy on oil exports coupled with diminishing opportunities to revive the private sector pose considerable risk to the economic development process. The oil sector‘s contribution to GDP composition was 44.3% in 2008 constant prices. While GoI budget revenues from oil output increased, non–natural-resource income growth remains

107

limited, making the Iraqi economy highly dependent and vulnerable to the price and volume of oil production fluctuations in the international market. The dramatic fluctuation of oil prices from an average $122.909/barrel in June 2008 to $34.573/barrel in December 2008 resulted in a reduction of total crude oil exports from $7,141 million in June 2008 to a total of $1,943 million in December 2008. As such, the capital investment portion of the public financial budget has been cut by around 38%, slowing down recovery initiatives by the Iraqi government and leaving the crippled private sector deeply affected.

Estimates of Iraq‘s unemployment rate vary but remain high, at over 18% according to government, UN, and other international sources. The high averages evidence the inability of the economy to provide enough work for around 28% of the labour force, where one-third of Iraq‘s young people are still unemployed. While the number of public employees and employees in state-owned companies has almost doubled since 2005, and now account for 43% of all employed, full-time private employment has fallen from 25% in 2003 to 17% in 2008. Opportunities for private-sector job creation have been limited by a dominant public sector, absence of a conducive regulatory environment, high dependence on oil revenues, and security issues.

At present, there are around three million public sector employees in government institutions and state- owned enterprises. State-owned enterprises continue to attract the attention of many economic development stakeholders. Though privatization remains an option in the future, it should be preceded by various economic and social adjustment measures leading to an open market economy in addition to sound fiscal and financial public policies. This includes preconditions such as preparations for: (i) corporatization and strong capital and financial markets; (ii) the development of regulatory and public institutional frameworks; and (iii) enhanced Iraqi private sector competitiveness.

Planning for public sector reform as a whole became a necessary priority of both the GoI and the Iraqis. Demands for improving service delivery and for more efficient and corruption-free public administration are on the rise. One of the main steps in this direction is the strengthening of public financial management practices and budget execution at both the national and sub-national levels in Iraq. It is central to preserv- ing the integrity and accountability of both the national and sub-national governments and enabling efficient and effective resource management, budget execution, and service delivery through which the GoI would be able to convert the huge oil revenues to public goods and services and establish foundations for a strong diversified economy.

In spite of improvement in the security and political situation in Iraq, opportunities for investment promotion and business development are still slim. A recent World Bank Report indicated that Iraq is ranked 152 out of 181 economies for ease of doing business, ranked 175 for ease of starting businesses, and 113 for protecting investors. In order to better enable the economic sector, foundations for a modern regulatory economic reform framework should be built. A robust operational basis to support the economy, mainly energy and water resources in addition to transport infrastructure, should also be established.

With the support of the Economic Reform and Diversification Sector (ERDSOT) and through a series of high-level policy roundtables led by the Advisory Board of the Prime Minister, the major challenges for the development of an Iraqi private sector in achieving a functional market economy have been substantially identified. During two high-level roundtable meetings held in Baghdad and Paris in July 2008, a number of causal factors were identified as hampering the development of a growth-oriented and rules- based private sector in Iraq, and being of paramount importance to the revitalisation of the Iraqi economy. These include, inter alia: the absence of a long-term, programmatic agenda; investment climate is still unattractive; absent or incomplete legislation/institutions; and non-transparency and corruption.

III. Implementation Constraints and Challenges

Due to the prevailing security situation and restrictions placed on the movement of UN staff over the majority of Iraq, the UN agencies have endeavoured to come up with innovative implementation modalities. At times this has led to delegating implementation responsibility to government counterparts or selecting 108

the national execution (NEX) implementation modality. Several exercises were carried out to ensure that counterparts possess the necessary implementation capacity. The UN agencies have also resorted to national coordinators and have partnered with local municipalities, universities, and community institutions in addition to other local actors. The agencies have also depended on modern communication to interact with counterparts in Iraq including frequent telephone conferences, extensive use of email, and courier when needed.

IV. Coverage and Counterparts

Different counterparts play an important role in the achievement of the sector‘s outcomes. Key among them are the ministries and governmental institutions concerned with economic reform and diversification. These include the Prime Minister‘s Advisory Board; the Mayoralty of Baghdad; the Ministries of Agriculture, Education, Environment, Health, Industry and Minerals, Labour and Social Affairs, Munici- palities and Public Works, Oil, Planning and Development Cooperation, Water Resources, and the Kur- distan Regional Government (KRG). Other partners include selected Chambers of Commerce and Indus- try of Iraq in the targeted governorates, the General Directorate for Electricity Production (GDEP), Econ- omists Union of Kurdistan, Federation of Iraqi Industries, Industrial Bank, Thi Qar Provincial Council, Thi Qar Chamber of Commerce, Thi Qar Engineering Union, microfinance institutions, International Or- ganization for Migration (IOM), CHF International, and the ILO International Training Centre. Hitachi Limited, Japan and various Iraqi NGOs and representatives of the civil society and religious communities are involved at local levels in many areas.

With the assistance of ERDSOT, a Government Task Force for Economic Reforms and Private Sector Capacity (TFER) was established. TFER, which consists of representatives from various line ministries, is mandated to oversee the implementation of programmes devoted to diversifying the economy of Iraq through private enterprise building and investment and to oversee employment creation as a tool for sta- bility and poverty reduction.

The recipients of support include various Iraqi ministries, various NGOs, universities, civil society organizations (CSOs), religious communities at the local levels, and the populations at large of the targeted governorates.

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results

Outcome 1: Improved policies, strategies, and related institutional developments that are sensitive to the MDGs, social inclusiveness, gender equality, and pro-poor economic growth

Outcome 2: Enhance key sectors of local economy in most deprived areas

Major achievements during the reporting period include the following: i. Through the successful implementation of the Smart Community Project, the Economic and So- cial Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA) has built capacity at the community level on the basis of partnerships, training activities, and coordination meetings. The Technology Dissemination Programme (TDP) provided the basis for promoting diffusion of best practices and optimal coordination and cooperation modalities as well as human resource sharing with particular emphasis on training, project planning, commissioning, and marketing. The project has also succeeded in raising awareness and interest by local community members in these types of local development projects. ii. Progress continued under the ―Development of National Gender Statistics in Iraq‖ project. ESCWA has effectively contributed to increased knowledge on the importance and role of gender statistics in the development process and gender mainstreaming of statistical work, in addition to improving public capacities and skills in the production, analysis, and dissemination of quality gender statistics through a number of assessments, publications, and workshops. During the reporting period, ESCWA finalized the ―Publication on Men and Women in Iraq,‖ completed a national gender statistics website and database, and presented a draft of a strategic framework for developing national statistical capacities. At the Second National Workshop (Bei- rut, November 2008), 24 users and producers of statistics were trained on the design of a strategic framework to enhance national capacity in mainstreaming gender in statistical work. In the Work- shop on Mainstreaming Gender in Labour Statistics (Turin, December 2008), 30 participants were

112

trained on enhancing the quality and hence the impact of national employment and training policies in Iraq from a gender perspective. Participants gained awareness of the importance of key gender-related statistics and indicators for the labour market as a prerequisite for the formulation of appropriate and effective strategies for employment and training policies. iii. Through the project, ―Enterprise Development and Investment Promotion in the SME Sector in Iraq,‖ UNIDO has facilitated the creation of new enterprises in Baghdad, Erbil, and Thi Qar governorates. The established Enterprise Development Units (EDUs) aim at providing employment and income- generating opportunities for people to reduce poverty. UNIDO has also organized a number of training courses aiming at creating a team of business counsellors to be placed in the EDUs, creating a team of local consultants who can conduct enterprise upgrading and growth plans and trainings on investment project preparation and ap- praisal.

Outcome 3: Strengthened electricity and transportation sector plans for rapid economic growth

The ERDSOT has contributed to the achievement of this outcome through the successful realization of a number of outputs related to the electricity sector. Iraq is experiencing continuous shortage of electricity supply. Total electricity demand of the system is approximately 12,000 MW, but generation is approximately 50% of the demand. Generation projects (Taji and Mosel) implemented by UNDP have improved the generation outputs of the power plants and also improved the overall reliability of the system. A considerable amount of power plant equipment for Mussaib power station has been delivered and arrangements are being made for rehabilitation of Unit 1 in order to increase its capacity. UNDP continues to support MoEl by upgrading the National Dispatch Center (NDC) in Iraq through providing technical assistance and capacity building of its staff. Commissioning equipment that was procured under the project has assisted MoEl in operating its NDC more efficiently and reliably. More precisely, ERDSOT has successfully achieved the following in the electricity sector: v. Taji Gas Power Station received 175 tons of equipment and is now producing an additional 38 MW of electricity through the repair and commissioning of two turbines that were converted to run on either oil or gas as the gas line was sabotaged. Taji is now providing electricity to Bagh- dad and Central region with approximately 40% of the Gas Power Station works 2008 electricity going to basic services and business and the remaining 60% providing electricity to approximately 100,000 inhabitants. vi. Mosul Gas Power Station received 105 tons of equipment and is now producing an additional 30 MW of electricity through the repair and commissioning of two turbines with the present gas pressure; with improved pressure the turbines could produce up to 19 MW each. Mosul is providing electricity to Northern Iraq with approximately 40% of the electricity going to basic services and business and the remaining 60% providing electricity to approximately 80,000 inhabitants.

113

vii. Urgently required equipment and spare parts were installed in key parts of the national electricity grid. viii. The electrical facilities of essential humanitarian services were operationalized and supported by sufficient backup generation capacity. ix. Three MoEl training centres were refurbished and reequipped; technical capacities of selected trainers were enhanced.

VI. Other SOT Major Contributions and Implementing Partners in the Sector

The UNDP continues to play a major role in rehabilitating the electricity sector through technical projects and policy support initiatives. During the reporting period, the UNDP facilitated an ―Opportunities for Independent Power Producer (IPP) Investments in Iraq‖ conference. The conference aimed at establishing an effective public-private partnership in the IPP sector leading to future investment in a number of projects with a total value of approximately US$18 billion. Under the Civil Aviation Master Plan and Ca- pacity Building Project and for the first time in Iraq, UNDP successfully fielded an International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) team of eight aviation experts into Iraq over October–December 2008, where they completed an assessment for the development of a 10 Year Aviation Master Plan. The UNDP also contributes largely to public financial management in Iraq through a number of budget execution support projects. Under Loan Management, UNDP entered into an agreement with MoEl of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to manage an electricity project (approximately US$140 million) funded by the Government of Japan to improve and develop the electricity networks in KRG.

During the reporting period, IOM completed the first phase of the Programme for Human Security and Stabilization (PHSS), a partnership initiative between IOM and the Iraq Ministry of Labor and Social Af- fairs (MoLSA), funded by the Government of Japan. Operating in Muthana, Basra, and Baghdad, PHSS focused on assisting the un- and underemployed in Iraq to find stable income-generating opportunities through in-kind grants, vocational training, short-term employment, and local infrastructure improvements as well as capacity building training for MoLSA staff. Through these interventions, PHSS directly impacted the lives of over 11,000 Iraqis.

5. Financial Performance

Beginning with the Ninth Consolidated UNDG ITF Progress Report, the financial performance including donor contributions received, transfers made to Participating UN Organizations, and expenditures, is being consolidated and reported upon annually.

Based on the decision taken by the IRFFI Donors at the Eighth IRFFI Donor Committee meeting on the 18 February 2009, UNDG ITF reporting shall shift from six monthly reporting to annual reporting. The shift to annual reporting allows the UNDG ITF to harmonize its reporting schedule with all other Multi- Donor Trust Funds (MDTFs) currently administered through the UN System.

Furthermore, expenditure will no longer be reported against the 2004 UNDG ten categories for each of the project(s) and joint programmes. Beginning with this reporting period, the UNDG 2006 six financial reporting categories will be used. Figure 5.6 illustrates how the existing ten category budgets were mapped into six categories.

To facilitate comparison of future annual progress reports, the 2008 financial data is being provided annually for the year ending 31 December 2009 rather than six-monthly.

The financial section presents data and analysis on total contributions (earmarked and un-earmarked) received, transfers made to Participating UN Organizations for the implementation of approved projects, and expenditures incurred against these projects.

5.1. Sources, Use, and Balance of UNDG ITF Funds During the reporting period January to December 2008, an additional contribution of $55.44 million was deposited into the UNDG ITF account, which increased total donor contributions as of 31 December 2008 to $1.33 billion. This represents 98 percent of the total commitments made by donors as of this date. Of this amount, $1.21 billion (91 percent) had been transferred to sixteen implementing agencies by 31 De- cember 2008. Additionally, $15.30 million from fund earned interest was also transferred to Participating UN Organizations by 31 December 2008. Table 5.1 provides an overview of the overall sources, uses, and balance of the UNDG ITF funds as of 31 December 2008.

Apart from donor contributions, the other source of funds for the UNDG ITF is interest income. The two sources of interest income are: Administrative Agent (Fund)-earned interest, which is the interest earned by the MDTF Office as the Administrative Agent on the balance of funds remaining in the UNDG ITF Bank Account (maintained by UNDP/Treasury); and Agency-earned interest, which is the amount earned by the Participating UN Organizations on the undisbursed balance of UNDG ITF funds. As of 31 Decem- ber 2008, the Fund-earned interest amounted to $33.28 million and the amount of interest transferred by the Participating UN Organizations to the UNDG ITF Bank Account amounted to $29.57 million, thus bringing the total earned interest income to $62.85 million. A detailed explanation on interest income is provided in section 5.3. Refunds to the UNDG ITF account from projects that are operationally and financially closed amounted to $6.6 million.

The Administrative Agent fee of approximately $10.63 million charged up front for the entire duration of the UNDG ITF, presently extended to 2011, amounts to 0.80 percent of total funds deposited. As of 31 December 2008, the direct costs recovered from contributions amounted to $4.48 million. As indicated in the Sixth Six-Month Progress Report and based on the assessment of cost projections covering the extension of IRRFI to 2011, the notional rate charged for direct cost was increased to 0.5 percent as of 30 April 2007. Direct costs are expected to cover the estimated costs of the UNDG ITF Steering Committee Sup- port Office (SCSO), including the recruitment of an M&E Officer, the re-establishment of the IRFFI Se- cretariat in Baghdad, and the financing of possible UNDG-ITF–level external reviews. Based on the assessment made by the SCSO and the IRFFI Secretariat of actual and envisaged future needs, it was felt that the requirement for direct cost for the period 2004–2011 would be $4.42 million and consequently, an additional $1.84 million was recovered from un-earmarked funds in August 2008. Thereafter, additional contributions were received from Italy and EC and consequently the total direct costs recovered as of the reporting period amounted to $4.48 million.

Figure 5.1 reflects the mapping of the previous Cluster structure to the new structure of SOTs.

Approximately 88 percent of the contributions received by the UNDG ITF are earmarked at the level of a specific Sector Outcome Team(s) or Sub-sector Outcome Team and/or specific Participating UN Organi- zation(s). Earmarking by project is not permitted under the UNDG ITF, in line with the basic principle of multi-donor trust funds where funds are commingled and there is no one-to-one relationship between do- nor contribution and individual project(s).

Irrespective of whether donor contributions are earmarked or not, all projects submitted by Participating UN Organizations to the Iraqi Strategic Review Board (ISRB) and the UNDG ITF Steering Committee undergo the same review and approval procedure. Thus, a project using resources earmarked by a donor to a specific Participating UN Organization requires approval by the relevant line ministry and undergoes the same type of Sector Outcome Team and inter-Sector Outcome Team review and requires ISRB or

117

comparable authority approval. This ensures that all UNDG-ITF–funded projects are in accordance with Iraqi priorities. Table 5.3 gives the distribution of net donor contributions earmarked by Sector and Sub- sector Outcome Team and the total of un-earmarked contributions.

5.3. Earned Interest 5.3.1 UNDG ITF Administrative Agent (Fund)-Earned Interest UNDG ITF Administrative Agent (Fund)-earned interest income as of 31 December 2008 amounted to $33.28 million. In view of the ‗pass-through‘ fund management modality of the UNDG ITF, contributions received from donors are expected to be transferred to the Participating UN Organizations as soon as the projects are approved and are not to be kept as unutilized funds for long periods. Moreover, the fact that the meetings of the ISRB and the UNDG ITF Steering Committee are not held on a set timetable does not allow UNDP as Administrative Agent to devise an active fund investment strategy. Additionally, the downturn in the financial markets has also significantly affected interest earnings for 2008.

Despite the above limitations, UNDP Treasury has been able to invest some funds in short-term Certificates of Deposits and Term Deposits so as to capitalize on interest-bearing investment vehicles that pay higher interest than Money Market Fund Accounts. However, to ensure the liquidity of the deposits and their immediate availability when projects are approved, some portion of deposited funds continues to be invested in the JP Morgan Prime Money Market Fund (MMF). As indicated in the Seventh Six-Month Progress Report, adjustments to interest were made in 2007 and 2008 to regularize the over-payment of interest by UNDP Treasury in the prior periods.

Interest calculation for the period from the first quarter of 2004 to the fourth quarter of 2008 is provided in Table 5.4. Figure 5.2 tracks the average investment portfolio balance and the fund earned interest from inception to 31 December 2008.

5.3.2 Interest Earned by Participating UN Organizations All interest earned by the Participating UN Organizations is credited to the UNDG ITF account unless the governing bodies of the said organizations have approved decisions that govern the specific use of interest earned on donor contributions. As shown in Table 5.5, the total cumulative interest earnings received from the Partic- ipating UN Organizations amounted to $29.77 million. While WHO does report interest, per its rules and regulations, it does not return interest earned on unused funds but uses it to increase the funds available for programme implementation. Apart from the above, it is expected that the Participating UN Organizations that have reported interest for 2008 and prior will refund the outstanding interest in 2009 or provide an explanation for withholding the same.

5.3.3 Allocation and Earmarking of Interest Earnings to Sector Outcome Teams for Funding Based on the decision taken at the IRFFI Donor Meeting held in Baghdad on 7 July 2008, $15 million of interest earnings (fund and agency) excluding interest earned on contributions from EC and Germany was transferred to the Protection SOT to support humanitarian programmes. In keeping with the UNDG ITF Steering Committee decision taken at its meeting of 3 July 2008, additional interest monies were transferred to Educa- tion ($0.87 million), Governance/Public Sector Reform ($30 million) and Governance/Decentralized Pro- grammes ($8.51 million). As of the reporting period, out of the total interest earnings of $62.85 million, $54.38 million were allocated and transferred to SOTs, leaving a balance of unallocated interest earnings of $7.93 million.

Table 5.8 provides the breakdown of funding by Participating UN Organizations. The five major implementing agencies for the UNDG ITF projects continue to be UNDP, UNOPS, UNICEF, WHO, and FAO, and they jointly accounted for 77 percent of total funding. During most of the first six months of the reporting period, the approval of UNDG ITF proposals was temporarily suspended to ensure that all new UNDG ITF proposals

5 Throughout the report the number of projects shown under ―Sector Outcome Team‖ will be less than the number of projects shown under ―Participating UN Organization‖ since a joint programme implemented by two or more agencies, while counting as one programme under a Sector Outcome Team, is reported separately by each Participating UN Organ- ization, thereby accounting for more than one project. 123

were developed in compliance with the UN and ICI strategic priorities and were rigorously reviewed utilizing the new UNCT coordination structure. New funding of $27 million and $110 million was approved during the period January to June 2008 and July to December 2008 respectively. Additional funding of $3.73 million was also provided to FAO ($2.76 million) and UNOPS ($0.97 million) during the first quarter of 2009.

5.4.1 Balance of Funds Available Figure 5.4 reflects the balance of funds earmarked by Sector Outcome Teams as of 31 March 2009. The actual balance of funds available as of 31 December 2008 was $138.18 ($159.03 million less $20.85 million approved for tranche II and III for C10-11, which is pending transfer of funds). With the funding of additional projects amounting to $3.73 million in the first quarter of 2009, the balance of funds available as of 31 March 2009 dropped to $134.45 million. A breakdown of the available balance of funds by Sector and Sub-sector Outcome Teams after adjusting for Pipeline Projects ($97.37 million) is given in Table 5.9.

NOTES: 1 Humanitarian Emergency Project funded from Fund earned interest. 2 Legally binding contracts signed in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 (including multi-year commitments which may be disbursed in future years). 3 Disbursements made in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. 4 US$15.16 million of Canada's contribution un-earmarked with a preference towards Support to Electoral Process, including enchancing the role of women, civil society and media in the Iraqi election. Therefore, this contribution is treated as "earmarked" for Support to Electoral Process. 5 India's contribution given as un-earmarked but with a preference for Support to Electoral Process. 6 Japan's contributions while "earmarked" to Health/Medical Care, Employment Creation, Water and Sanitation and Environment, for ten million US dollars each, also available to fund activities in other clusters based on prior consultations. Hence, the contribution treated as "un-earmarked." 7 UK's contribution is broadly earmarked to ten out of the eleven old Clusters with some activities excluded but with inter-cluster funding allocation decision left to the UNDG ITF Steering Committee. Hence, treated as "un-earmarked." 8 Additional un-earmarked funds of $21.494 million allocated to Governance: Decentralized Programmes will reduce availability in un-earmarked to $10.832 million. 9 Includes $12,931 apportioned to Germany to be transferred to Education SOT per LOA, $866,673 apportioned to the European Commission for use within SOTs earmarked by EC contributions, and the balance of $2,175,313 with no funding restrictions. 10 Represents payment to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) for ITF Audit (2005) and not funds transferred for project implementation. 11 Includes $20.85 million; tranches II and III of C10-11 pending transfer of funds to Participating UN Organizations from a total approved $32.85 million, of which $12 million only funded in December 2008.

5.5. Expenditure During the reporting period January to December 2008, a total of $138.11 million was expended. Cumulative expenditures as of 31 December 2008 amounted to $988.94 million or 81 percent of the total funds transferred of $1.22 billion. As part of the process to streamline expenditure reporting for all the Multi Donor Trust Funds and Joint Programmes, the nine 2003 UNDG-approved budget and expenditure categories were replaced by the six 2006 UNDG-approved budget and expenditure categories, and the Participating UN Organizations have reported on the six harmonized categories for period ending 31 December 2008. The mapping of the nine 2003 UNDG-harmonized categories to the six 2006 UNDG-harmonized categories is given in Figure 5.6.

Overall, the expenditure for this period is relatively low as compared to previous years because approval of UNDG ITF proposals was suspended for most of the first half of 2008 to ensure that all new UNDG ITF proposals were developed in compliance with UN and International Compact with Iraq (ICI) strategic priorities and were in line with the new UNCT coordination structure. Since the revised categories do not have a separate category for security costs, these have been merged with other direct costs.

The cumulative average rate of indirect support costs charged by UN implementing agencies to date amounts to 5.9 percent, which is close to the floor of the 5 to 9 percent range specified in the LOA and MOU. Indirect support-cost expenditures have been charged on total project budget amounts instead of on actual expenditures by a few agencies as per their rules and regulations, with appropriate adjustments likely to be made upon project completion. Table 5.11 provides a summary of total expenditure by reporting period (P1 through P9) and

130

While some agencies will adjust these costs at the end of their biennium, others may not. (b) Adjustments made/to be made by some agencies to expenditure within categories as well as to compensate for over-reporting/under-reporting of expenditure in previous/subsequent periods.

As shown in Table 5.12, for the period January to December 2008, of the four UNCT Policy Groups, the Es- sential Social Services Policy Group reflected high expenditure in four out of its five Sector Outcome Teams. These SOTs are: Health—$30.06 million; Education—$22.70 million; Food Security, Agriculture, Food As- sistance—$20.28 million; and Water and Sanitation—$11.33 million. Within the Governance Policy Group, the Support to the Electoral Process Sub-sector reported the highest expenditure—$18.19 million. On an aggregate level, the Policy Group of Essential Social Services has reflected the highest expenditure as a percent of total funds transferred (84 percent), followed by Governance (80 percent), Economic Development (79 percent), and Protection (62 per cent).

Overall, all the Sub-sectors have reflected at or above 80 percent of total expenditure in relation to funds transferred except for Rural Development (58 percent), Protection (54 percent), Democratic Process (63 percent), and Poverty Reduction and Human Development (48 percent). Details of the breakdown by category of expenditure within Sector Outcome Teams are provided in Tables 5.14 and 5.16.

Overall, the five Agencies (UNDP, UNOPS, UNICEF, WHO, and FAO) that received over 77 percent of the total UNDG ITF funding also accounted for 78 percent of the total expenditures. Almost all Agencies have reported high implementation rates, with expenditures at or above 77 percent of funds transferred except for ILO, UNFPA, UNIDO, and UNIFEM.

UNHCR and WFP have reported at or close to 100 percent rate of expenditure respectively in relation to funding, indicating that almost all of the transferred funds have been expended. UNDPA/EAD and UNEP have reported expenditure in excess of the funded amount and are expected to bring their expenditure in line with the funded amount in the next reporting period. A summary of total expenditure by Participating UN Organi- zation as of 31 December 2008 is provided in Table 5.13, and by Participating UN Organization with a breakdown by category in Tables 5.15 and 5.17.

5.6. Contracts 5.6.1 Contract Commitments and Disbursements In addition to consolidated progress reports, the MDTF Office also receives from Participating UN Organiza- tions, and consolidates, monthly figures of project commitments and disbursements as well as contracts awarded by the Participating UN Organizations. From 2009, with an intent to standardize all reporting requirements, the commitment and disbursement figures are being received and consolidated on a quarterly basis. These contract commitment and disbursement figures provide Iraqi authorities and donors with an overall ongoing indicator of the status of project implementation and are also used by the UNDG ITF Steering Com- mittee as a basis for approval of new projects. They are also reported in the UNDG ITF Newsletter and posted publicly on the IRFFI website.

As of 31 December 2008, a total of $945 million (77 percent of funds transferred) had been legally committed and $839 million (69 percent of funds transferred) had been disbursed. From 1 January to 31 March 2009, Par- ticipating UN Organizations committed an additional $28.84 million and disbursed an additional $36.44 million. Most of the Sub-sectors continue to have commitment and disbursement rates at or close to 70 percent except for Rural Development, Protection, Democratic Process, and Poverty Reduction and Human Develop- ment.

5.6.2 Contract Awards As shown in Table 5.20, during the period from 1 July 2004 to 31 March 2009, 2,842 contracts were posted on the UNDG ITF website and awarded to suppliers from 47 countries. These contracts are for the provision of services, supplies, commodities, equipment, and other project inputs and have a combined value of approximately $615.60 million. Iraq, with $167 million in contract awards (1,350 separate contracts), is the largest single supplier of goods and services, indicating the large volume of national/local contracting, particularly for community-level infrastructure rehabilitation in Iraq.

5.7. Cost Recovery As indicated in earlier progress reports, the cost recovery for UNDG ITF is guided by the applicable provisions of the IRFFI Terms of Referece (TOR), the Letter of Agreement (LOA) signed by UNDP as the Admin- istrative Agent of the UNDG ITF with IRFFI donors, and the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) concluded with Participating UN Organizations.

For the period from 1 July 2004 to 31 December 2008, the actual costs were as follows: (a) The Administrative Agent fee of $10.63 million, charged for the entire duration of the Fund, amounted to 0.80 percent of total funds deposited and is less than the 1 percent that is usually charged by UNDP for administering similar funds. (b) Indirect costs of Participating UN Organizations amounted to $55.26 million, which amount to 5.9 percent of total programme costs, and is at the lower range of 5 to 9 percent specified in the UNDG ITF MOU and LOA.

141

(c) Direct costs for the UNDG ITF Steering Committee Support Office and the IRFFI Secretariat (the latter was discontinued in February 2005 and reestablished in Baghdad in 2007) were increased to a notional rate of 0.50 percent in April 2007 in view of the extension of the IRFFI to 2011, the reestablishment of the IRRFI Secretariat in Baghdad, and additional staffing costs that includes the hiring of a Monitoring and Evaluation specialist within the UNDG ITF SCSO. Based on the reassessment of actual and envisaged future needs, the SCSO and the IRFFI Secretariat budget was estimated at $4.42 million and, given that $2.58 million had already been collected as direct costs from contributions received as of 31 March 2009, an additional amount of $1.84 million was deducted from un-earmarked funds in September 2008 as per Steering Committee approval of 3 July 2008. Thereafter, additional contributions were received from Italy and EC and consequently the total direct costs recovered as of the reporting period amounted to $4.48 million. The total expenditure incurred by the UNDG ITF Steering Committee Support Office and the IRFFI Secretariat and charged as direct costs from 2004 to 2008 amounted to $1.32 million and the estimate for 2009 is $0.94 million.

5.8. Transparency and Accountability of the UNDG ITF Operations While the major vehicle for public transparency of UNDG ITF operations continues to be the IRFFI website (www.irffi.org), the MDTF Office website (www.undp.org/mdtf) also gives an overview of the UNDG ITF along with the other MDTFs that the office administers in its capacity as an Administrative Agent. The public posting of UNDG ITF operations, including contract award data, provides a high level of transparency to Iraqi authorities, donors, the public, the business community, and the Participating UN Organizations. By accessing contract data information, UN programme managers can easily determine costs for activities comparable to those that they are planning, while vendors can benchmark their subsequent product and service offerings in order to be competitive in future bidding exercises. The commitment and disbursement figures also serve as benchmarks for the UNDG ITF Steering Committee for approving new projects, because no project can be approved unless the Participating UN Organization can demonstrate a commitment and disbursement rate of at least 50 percent and 25 percent, respectively, on previously funded amounts.

Moreover, Participating UN Organizations are increasingly publishing Expressions of Interest, Requests for Proposals, and Invitations to Bid on the IRFFI public website in addition to publishing such notices in their own Participating UN Organization procurement notice outlets. Adaptations in the content of some calls for tender have also been made in response to lessons learned through the posting on a shared website.

As outlined in section 2.4.2, the MDTF Office introduced the MDTF Reporting Portal in early 2009 to upload expenditure data for the year ending 31 December 2008. Using the UNEX component of the Portal, Participat- ing UN Organizations have uploaded annual expenditure data for the UNDG ITF using a single Excel spreadsheet containing all data pertaining to all the MDTFs administered by the MDTF Office in line with the 2006 six harmonized UNDG budget and expenditure categories.

The introduction of the MDTF Reporting Portal along with the new MDTF1 General Ledger Business Unit (MDTF1 GLBU) enables the MDTF Office, as Administrative Agent, to hold pass-through funds on behalf of Participating UN Organizations to be recorded on a separate ledger to ensure the highest level of accountability, transparency, and audit traceability.
