Executive Summary
Introduction
1. The Eighth Six-month Progress Report on Activities Implemented under the United Nations
Development Group Iraq Trust Fund (UNDG ITF) is submitted to the Iraq Ministry of Planning and
Development Cooperation (MoPDC) and the Donor Committee of the International Reconstruction Fund
Facility for Iraq (IRFFI) 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 30 June 2008 with
additional financial updates covering the period 1 July to 30 September 2008.
2. As reported previously, the Iraq United Nations Country Team (UNCT) began restructuring the
UNCT Coordination Structure and reformulating the UN Iraq Assistance Strategy in August 2007
following the adoption of Security Council Resolution 1770 on Iraq on 10 August 2007 and in response to
the priorities outlined in the International Compact with Iraq (ICI). The restructuring of the UNCT
Coordination Structure was completed during the reporting period as well as the UN Iraq Assistance
Strategy for 2008-2010. In response, UNDG ITF arrangements were modified during the reporting period
to align with the changes in the UNCT coordination structure and priorities set forth in the new UNCT
Strategy.
3. At the seventh meeting of the IRFFI Donor Committee, hosted by the Government of Iraq (GoI) in
Baghdad on 7 July 2008, a number of strategic decisions were taken regarding the future of the IRFFI.
The Donor Committee agreed that it was an appropriate time to plan for the closure of IRFFI and requested the UN and World Bank to provide the Executive Committee with a concept note outlining a final
timeline and mechanism for closure of the IRFFI to be presented and discussed at the next donor meeting.
Additionally, the Donor Committee, taking into account the applicable donor regulations, approved the
allocation of up to $20 million from the UNDG ITF interest earnings to be used to support humanitarian
assistance and support to IDPs.
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 seven
consolidated previous progress reports.
5. In addition to the consolidated bi-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 Multi-Donor Trust Fund (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 request of major donors such as the European Commission (EC). The individual
project summaries “fiches” are updated quarterly and posted on the UNDG ITF section of the IRFFI web
site (www.irffi.org).

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.

Report Structure
7. The Eighth Six-month 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, including the new UNCT coordination structure, strategy and approval
processes. Section 3 provides a status update, including project approvals during the reporting period,
status of projects, and an update of the challenges and assessments undertaken. Section 4 highlights
sector-level achievements in the new Sector Outcome Team (SOT) reporting format, and Section 5
provides an overview of the financial performance of the UNDG ITF.
8. Beginning with this consolidated report, produced by the MDTF Office, progress of the UNDG ITF
funded projects, narrative and financial, is aligned to the new SOT coordination structure. Additionally,
the previous cluster section and matrixes have been replaced with individual SOT narrative progress
reports that have been prepared by the individual SOT and consolidated into this report.
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 UNCT for Iraq is providing humanitarian, reconstruction and development assistance.
10. The United Nations Assistance Strategy for Iraq 2008-2010, developed jointly by the GoI and the
UNCT and endorsed by the GoI, addresses the priority needs of the Iraqi people as defined in the National
Development Strategy (NDS), the 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.
11. In response to the expanded UN mandate under SCR 1770, the UNCT restructured its coordination
structure. The new structure was completed during the reporting period. At the core of the new structure
are eight interagency SOTs based in Amman that focus on 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 are linked to the
Baghdad Policy Group, representing senior policy advisors, which is comprised of four pillars within the
UN Assistance Strategy for Iraq: essential social services; protection; governance; and economic
development.
12. The UNDG ITF arrangements were modified during the reporting period to align with changes to the
UNCT coordination structure and priorities set forth in the new UN Iraq Strategy. During this
restructuring period, the submission of UNDG ITF proposals and the existing pipeline were temporarily
suspended to ensure that all new UNDG ITF proposals were developed in compliance with the UNCT and
ICI strategic priorities and rigorously reviewed utilizing the new UNCT coordination structure.
Projects Approved
13. A total of $1.3 billion has been deposited in the UNDG ITF as of 30 June 2008, of which $1.11
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 140
projects. During the current six-month reporting period, seven new projects were approved and funded for
a total of $26.38 million. Of the six new projects, one was approved as a joint programme.
2
Projects Completed
14. As of 30 September 2008, the total number of ‘operationally closed’ projects was 64, or 46 percent
of the 140 total approved projects and joint programmes. To date, eight projects have been confirmed as
‘financially closed’. A project is declared ‘operationally closed’ at the completion of the project duration
when the implementing agency has communicated that all project activities have been completed. The
‘financial closure’ is within no more than 12 months of the operational closure.
Project Approval Process
15. The project design, review and approval processes were revised and strengthened during the
reporting period. The main changes in the process focus on the decision to move away from supporting
larger infrastructure projects and towards more emphasis on the provision of capacity development and
technical assistance, strengthening joint programming, results-based programming and government cofinancing. The process has also been strengthened through the formalization of the project concept note
into the early stages of the review process and the introduction of various new or restructured technical
and review bodies that include enhanced donor and NGO participation. The proposal submission
templates and the proposal review criteria were redesigned to ensure that adequate resources are allocated
to support the new priorities, that proposals are rigorously reviewed, and that a results-based approach is
used from the outset to ensure proper monitoring and evaluation.
Earmarking
16. Approximately 89 percent of the contributions received in the UNDG ITF account are earmarked at
the level of a specific sector(s) or sub-sector and/or specific agency(ies). 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 donor contribution and individual
project(s). Irrespective of whether or not donor contributions are earmarked, all projects submitted by
Participating UN Organizations to the ISRB and the UNDG ITF Steering Committee undergo the same
review and approval procedure.
Implementation Challenges
17. 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
individual Participating UN Organization project reports during the reporting period include: capacity
building, policy development, unavailability of adequate funding, communication and security.

Financial Performance
26. During the six-month reporting period, additional contributions of $33.97 million were received
from the European Commission, Australia and Finland, which increased total gross donor contributions to
$1.31 billion. This represents 98 percent of the total commitments made by donors to date.
27. A total of $60.32 million was expended during the reporting period, bringing the cumulative
expenditure from inception in mid-2004 to 30 June 2008 to about $911 million, or almost 82 percent of
the total approved funding of $1.11 billion.
28. A total of $884 million, or 80 percent, of approved and transferred funding to Participating UN
Organizations has been legally committed and $766 million, or 69 percent, of approved and transferred
funding had been disbursed. Most of the sub-sectors continue to have commitment and disbursement rates
at or above 70 percent.
29. As of 31 March, 2008, 2,337 contracts were awarded by the Participating UN Organizations to
suppliers from 47 countries have been posted on the UNDG ITF/IRFFI web site. These contracts are for
services, supplies, commodities, equipment, and other project inputs and have a combined value of
approximately $565.07 million. Iraq, with $127.52 million in contract awards (1,014 individual
contracts), is the largest single supplier of goods and services, indicating the large volume of
national/local contracting, particularly for community-level infrastructure rehabilitation.
7
30. As of 30 June 2008, a total of $55.35 million interest income has been reported comprised of Fund
level earned interest of $30.23 million, and reported interest earnings of $25.12 million from Participating
UN Organizations.
UNDG ITF Transparency and Accountability
31. 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 Eighth Six-month Progress Report on Activities Implemented under the UNDG ITF is submitted to
the Iraq MoPDC and the Donor Committee of the IRFFI in fulfillment of the reporting provisions of the
LOA. The consolidated narrative and financial report covers the period from 1 January to 30 June 2008,
with additional analysis covering the third quarter of 2008 from 1 July to 30 September 2008. The financial analysis covering the third quarter of 2008 is based on unofficial project contract commitment and
disbursement figures. The information presented in the report covers the specific six-month reporting period as well as the previous seven periods of progress reporting to provide a comprehensive update on the
status of the UNDG ITF.
A total of $1.3 billion has been deposited in the UNDG ITF as of 30 June 2008, of which $1.11 billion
has been approved by the ISRB and the UNDG ITF Steering Committee following review and approval
of 140 projects. During the current six-month reporting period, seven new projects were approved and
funded for a total of $26.38 million. Of the six projects, one was approved as a joint programme.
As reported in the previous reporting period, the Iraq UNCT began restructuring the United Nations
Country Team (UNCT) Coordination Structure and reformulating the UN Iraq Assistance Strategy in August 2007 following the adoption of Security Council Resolution 1770 on Iraq on 10 August 2007 and in
response to the priorities outlined in the ICI. The restructuring of the UNCT Coordination Structure was
completed during the reporting period as well as the UN Iraq Assistance Strategy for 2008-2010.
At the core of the new structure are eight interagency SOTs based in Amman that focus on education, water and sanitation, health and nutrition, housing and shelter, food security (agriculture, food assistance),
protection, governance, and economic reform and diversification, including infrastructure support. The
SOTs have officially replaced the cluster coordination structure.
The UNDG ITF operates within the UNCT coordination structure to ensure inter-agency, donor and government participation in the identification, design, development and approval as well as implementation
and monitoring of the UNDG ITF activities. Therefore, UNDG ITF arrangements were modified during
the reporting period to align with the changes in the UNCT coordination structure and priorities set forth
in the new UNCT Strategy, which guides the future activities of the UNDG ITF.
Hence, beginning with this report, the consolidated report produced by the MDTF Office presents the
progress of the UNDG ITF funded projects, narrative and financial, aligned to the new SOT coordination
structure. Additionally, the previous cluster section and matrixes have been replaced with individual SOT
narrative progress reports that have been prepared by the individual SOTs and consolidated into this report. The report also highlights modifications to the previous UNDG ITF governance arrangements and
processes.
The project design, review and approval processes were also revised and strengthened during the reporting period. The revised process put in place a more rigorous proposal review and approval process that
ensures greater alignment with the ICI and more inclusive participation from the GoI, NGOs and donors,
including the representation of two donors on the UNDG ITF Steering Committee.
At the seventh meeting of the IRFFI Donor Committee, hosted by the GoI in Baghdad on 7 July 2008, a
number of strategic decisions were taken regarding the future of the IRFFI. The Donor Committee agreed
that it was an appropriate time to plan for the closure of IRFFI and requested the UN and World Bank to
provide the Executive Committee with a concept note outlining a final timeline and mechanism for closure of the IRFFI to be presented and discussed at the next donor meeting. Additionally, the Donor Committee, taking into account the applicable donor regulations, approved the allocation of up to $20 million
from the UNDG ITF interest earnings to be used to support humanitarian assistance and support to IDPs.

The preliminary findings of the IRFFI Multi-Donor Stocktaking Review were presented by Scanteam at
the seventh UNDG ITF donor meeting. Overall, the review found that IRFFI has made an important contribution to reconstruction and development in Iraq, with the majority of projects demonstrating real and
beneficial impact on the lives of the beneficiaries. Furthermore, IRFFI projects have played an important
role in building capacity and providing services at the national and sub-national levels. 10
1. IRFFI/UNDG ITF Strategic Framework and Benchmarks
IRFFI COORDINATION
1.1
Seventh IRFFI Donor Committee Meeting
The seventh meeting of the IRFFI Donor Committee held on 7
July 2008 and was hosted by the GoI and held in Iraq for the
first time. The meeting was chaired by the IRFFI Donor Committee Chair, Ambassador Gianludovico de Martino and opened
by the Iraq Minister of Planning and Development Cooperation
(MoPDC) and Chair of the IRFFI Executive Committee, Dr. Ali
Baban.
A number of strategic decisions were taken regarding the future of the IRFFI. The 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 closure of the IRFFI including a recommended final closing date and cut-off date for new
donor contributions and the approval of new projects by the UN and World Bank. Furthermore, the Donor
Committee, taking into account the applicable donor regulations, approved the allocation of up to $20
million from the UNDG ITF interest earnings to be used to support humanitarian assistance and support
to IDPs.
The final IRFFI Donor Committee Meeting Statement was adopted with the following decisions:
•
•
•
•
Remaining UNDG ITF funds should be used primarily to support GoI capacity development and
technical assistance priorities.
Up to $20 million from the UNDG ITF interest earnings may be used for humanitarian assistance
and to support IDPs. The interest earnings should be taken from donors who do not have any restrictions regarding the use of the interest income. Funding should also be made available to support civil society.
Cut-off dates would be set for new donor contributions to the two Trust Funds in 2009, with the
UN agreeing not to enter into any further contractual commitments against approved funds later
than 12 months from the date.
The UN and WB would formulate a proposal for a final timeline and mechanism for the orderly
closure of the IRFFI, to be presented at the next Donor Committee meeting.
Italy agreed to continue to chair the Donor Committee until the next meeting scheduled for late 2008.
1.2
UNDG ITF Closure
Following the Donor Committee request for further review and planning the closure of the UNDG ITF,
the MDTF Office identified the compliance issues and conditions to be fulfilled to ensure an orderly closure. The conditions are contained in the IRFFI TOR as well as the UNDG ITF LOA between the MDTF
Office and donors, and memoranda of understanding with Participating UN Organizations. The conditions include:
11
•
•
•
•
Termination & completion of financed projects
Orderly conclusion
Disposal of unutilized balance
Final reporting obligations
The MDTF Office will continue to work with the Chair of the Steering Committee and the World Bank to
further define and prepare a concept paper outlining closure recommendations for consideration by the
Executive and Donor Committees in advance of the next donor meeting that is scheduled to take place at
the end of 2008.
2. Project Approval and Implementation Updates
UNDG ITF STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK
2.1.
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 UNAMI led by the SRSG. With an expanded mandate
under SCR 1770, UNCT for Iraq is providing humanitarian, reconstruction and development assistance.
2.2.
UN Iraq Assistance Strategy for 2008-10
In August 2008, the United Nations and the GoI signed a cooperation agreement, defining how the UN will support Iraq’s reconstruction, development and humanitarian needs over the next three
years. The United Nations Assistance Strategy for Iraq 2008-2010,
developed jointly by the GoI and the UNCT, addresses the priority
needs of the Iraqi people as defined in the National Development
Strategy (NDS), the ICI and the MDGs.
The strategy, which focuses on capacity development and the provision of technical assistance, will guide the UN and Participating
UN Organization 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 arising in Iraq
Strengthen partnerships between UN and other partners, particularly with the NGO community
The new strategy ensures that projects are results-oriented and accountable, as required under the Paris
Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, which the GoI endorsed on 29 May 2008. As of 30 September 2008,
there is approximately $250 million available in the UNDG ITF to support priority activities jointly identified in the 2008-2010 strategy.
12
2.3.
United Nations Country Team Coordination Structure
In response to the expanded UN mandate under SCR 1770, the UNCT restructured its UNCT coordination structure. The new structure was completed during the reporting period. Four key outcomes form the
basis of the new coordination structure:
•
•
•
•
Improved and equitable access to essential social services
Strengthened civilian protection
Accelerated and inclusive economic development
Strengthened governance
At the core of the new structure are eight interagency SOTs based in Amman that focus on 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
(see Table 2.1: Restructuring of Cluster to Sector Outcome Teams).
To increase the level of interaction with the GoI and ensure alignment with national priorities, the sectors
are represented in Baghdad by a policy group on outcomes and are being staffed by senior agency specialists in the areas of essential services, protection, governance, and economic development. The Baghdad
Policy Group (BPG) will be a regular and direct counterpart to the MoPDC and ISRB, interact directly
with ministries, and work closely with ICI thematic working groups to ensure alignment with the NDS,
ICI, MDGs, and the UNAMI mandate as set forth in SCR 1770.
The mandate of the UN Policy Group is to work closely with the GoI to identify assistance needs through
the provision of technical assistance in the four key outcome areas, as well as on-site support for ongoing
UNDG ITF programs. The BPG will also work with the GoI in a strategic realignment of the ICI to reflect the new political and socioeconomic reality on initiatives that can accelerate transition toward a
functional market economy.
2.4.
New UNDG ITF Governance Arrangements
The UNDG ITF operates within the UNCT coordination structure to ensure inter-agency, donor and government participation in the 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
Reference (TOR) and the UNDG ITF Steering Committee TOR.
While complying with the governance arrangements set forth in the IRFFI TOR, the UNDG ITF arrangements were modified during the reporting period to align with the changes to the UNCT coordination structure and priorities set forth in the new UN Iraq Strategy, which guides the future activities of the
UNDG ITF.
The following section outlines the various roles and any modifications to the previous processes, and how
they currently contributed to the overall governance of the UNDG ITF.
2.4.1. UNDG ITF Steering Committee
The Steering Committee continues to coordinate and oversee the operations of the UNDG ITF and provide overall strategic guidance and oversight as well as makes decisions on fund allocation. It is chaired
by the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General (DSRSG) who is also the UN Resident
Coordinator. The Committee has been composed of the heads of each Participating UN Organization;
however, a decision was taken in July 2008 to include two donor representatives, for a one-year period on
a rotating basis, in the Steering Committee to enhance discussions of governance and programme approval as well as provide greater strategic oversight and transparency. The first donor representatives to join
13
the Committee are the European Commission and the Government of Canada, who will serve for one year
beginning September 2008.
2.4.2. 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.
During the reporting period, the Chair of the Steering Committee and the MDTF Office collaborated in
the review of the existing SCSO human resource portfolio and prepared a revised budget to allocate addition human resources to enhance the staffing capacity of the SCSO as recommended by the PricewaterhouseCoopers 2006 UNDG ITF Programmatic Review. The increased direct cost budget was approved by
the UNDG ITF Steering Committee on 3 July 2008 and supports the recruitment of a Monitoring and
Evaluation (M&E) Officer, which is a new position within the SCSO. The M&E Officer will assist Participating UN Organizations in the project development stage and the Steering Committee in monitoring
performance throughout implementation. Additionally, the revised SCSO budget provides for a programme specialist and three national officers. Recruitment of the M&E Officer was completed following
the reporting period and the other four positions, which were formally seconded by UNAMI to the SCSO,
will be formally recruited in the next reporting period.
2.4.3. UNCT Baghdad Policy Group (BPG)
A new group within the UNCT coordination structure is the 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 will review
draft proposals to ensure alignment with GoI priorities in relation to the NDS and ICI, and will participate
in the Peer Review Group.
2.4.4. Sector Outcome Teams (SOT)
As reported in the previous section, the former cluster coordination structure has been redesigned into
eight new SOTs. 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 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 UNAMI, but operating from the Sector Chair’s Agency.
2.4.5. Peer Review Group (PRG)
The Peer Review Group (PRG) was also recently restricted, with the BPG forming its nucleus. Its 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.
14
2.4.6. Iraq Strategic Review Board (ISRB)
The role of the ISRB has not changed with the introduction of the new coordination structure. The ISRB
continues to provide overall policy and strategic guidance for donor assistance and it is the final approving authority for all programming in Iraq including IRRFI/UNDG ITF funded projects. Chaired by the
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.
2.4.7. Iraq Ministry of Planning and Development Cooperation (MoPDC)
The role of the MoPDC is also unchanged. 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.
2.4.8. Administrative Agent/Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) Office
The role of the MDTF Office, as the Administrative Agent for the UNDG ITF, continues to include the
receipt, administration and management of contributions from donors; disbursement of funds to the Participating UN Organizations, in accordance with instructions from the Steering Committee; and consolidation and dissemination of progress reports to the MoPDC and donors. In response to the restructuring,
the MDTF Office has aligned its existing UNDG ITF monitoring and tracking mechanisms to the new
SOT structure. Hence beginning with the this report, the consolidated report produced by the MDTF Office presents the progress of the UNDG ITF funded projects, narrative and financial, aligned to the new
SOT structure.
2.4.9. New Sector Outcome Team (SOT) Structure
The table 2.1 illustrates the migration of the old cluster structure into the new SOT structure. UNDG ITF
projects that were previously approved under the cluster structure have maintained their project numbers
for tracking purposes and been realigned to the new sectors as outlined in table 2.1. To identify individual
projects within the new SOT structure, refer to Annexes 1b and 2b in Section V.
15
Table 2.1. Approved and Funded Projects, 1 January to 30 June 2008

2.5.
UNDG ITF Project Approval Process
During this restructuring period, the submission of UNDG ITF proposals, and the existing pipeline, was
temporarily suspended to ensure that all new UNDG ITF proposals were developed in compliance with
the UNCT and ICI strategic priorities as well as rigorously reviewed utilizing the new UNCT coordination structure.
During this period the UNDG ITF Steering Committee, SCSO and UNCT worked at modifying the existing UNDG ITF proposal development and review procedures to ensure they were aligned with the new
UN Iraq Strategy and utilizing the technical knowledge available within the coordination structure.
The main changes in the process focus on the decision to move away from supporting larger infrastructure
projects in favour of providing capacity development and technical assistance, strengthening joint programming and promoting results-based programming. The process has also been strengthened through the
formalization of the project concept note at the early stages of the process and the introduction of various
new or restructured technical and review bodies (SOTs, BPG and PRG) that include enhanced donor and
NGO participation.
To accommodate the new emphasis on capacity development and joint programming, the SCSO facilitated a collaborative process with Participating UN Organizations, on behalf of the Steering Committee,
to redesign the proposal submission templates and the proposal review criteria to ensure that adequate
resources (time, money and human resources) were allocated to support these new objectives. The Steering Committee TOR and Rules of Procedure are currently being revised to include the revised project
proposal submission templates.
The revised 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 fiveday ‘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 fund
within one week of signature.
* Fast Track procedure enables critical time bound initiatives to be processed for review and approval on
a priority basis.
17
2.6.
Monitoring and Evaluation
As highlighted earlier, during the reporting period, measures to enhance the staffing capacity of the Steering Committee/SCSO, as recommended by the PricewaterhouseCoopers 2006 UNDG ITF Programmatic
Review, were forthcoming and the approval and recruitment of a professional M&E officer based in the
SCSO took place during the reporting period.
The M&E officer is part of the Resident Coordinator/Steering Committee Monitoring and Evaluation
Unit. The unit is composed of a M&E advisor, funded by AusAid, and the M&E officer funded through
the UNDG ITF direct cost budget.
The unit 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 will report directly to the Head of the
Steering Committee SCSO and provide direct support to Participating UN Organizations. The intention is
to provide technical support and advice to Participating UN Organizations in the development of strong
monitoring and results frameworks during the project development stage as well as subsequent results
based reporting. The M&E officer will also work with the SOT in the preparation of routine reporting and
monitor progress toward the achievement of sector outcomes. Finally, the M&E officer will collaborate
with the MDTF Office in the preparation of the six-month consolidated reports.
3. Project Approval and Implementation Updates
3.1
Project Approval Status
During the current reporting period, 1 January to 30 June 2008, seven new projects, including one joint
programme, were approved by the UNDG ITF Steering Committee and funded for a total of $26.38 million. As of 30 June 2008, the total number of approved projects and joint programmes grew to 140 (1803
individual agency projects) for a total amount of $1,111 million including a total of 23 joint programmes.
During the third quarter of 2008 (1 July to 30 September), no additional projects were funded due to the
restructuring of the UNCT and UNDG ITF proposal submission procedures.
3
Throughout the report the number of projects shown under ‘Agency’ will be more than the number of projects
shown under ‘Sector’ because a joint programme, implemented by two or more agencies, is counted as one project
under a sector while it is reported separately by each agency for financial reporting purposes.

3.2.2 Projects in the Pipeline
As previously reported, during most of the reporting period and through the third quarter of 2008 the approval of UNDG ITF proposals was temporarily suspended to ensure that all new UNDG ITF proposals
were developed in compliance with the UN and ICI strategic priorities as well as rigorously reviewed utilizing the new UNCT coordination structure.
To further ensure alignment with the new strategic priorities, a new pipeline was prepared and is presented in this report. The pipeline includes projects that have been conceptually cleared by the ISRB and
are under formulation. It is anticipated that the approval of projects in the pipeline will begin in October
2008. It is anticipated that not all projects currently in the pipeline will be funded through the UNDG ITF,
because of resource limitations. The project pipeline may also be found in Section 5, Table 5.9.

Timeline Extensions
The UNDG ITF Steering Committee endorsed a guidance note in July 2006 for use in the review and approval of budget revisions for the movement of funds within the approved budget and/or an extension of
time for project implementation. Based on the guidance note, Participating UN Organizations submit
formal requests to the DSRSG as the Chair of the UNDG ITF Steering Committee for approval of budget
revisions and/or timeline extensions of Agency projects. As of 30 September 2008, a total of 98 requests
for individual timeline revisions had been approved. This is an increase of 16 requests from the previous
reporting period.
3.3.1. Operationally and Financially Closed Projects and Joint Programmes
As of 30 September 2008, a total of 64 projects and joint programmes within the SOTs were reported as
operationally closed (73 individual agency projects). This is an increase of 16 new closures or 46 percent
of the 140 total approved projects and joint programmes. Based on data as of 30 September 2008, the
following table indicates the anticipated completion dates of UNDG ITF projects from 2005 to 2009. No
new projects were confirmed by the MDTF Office as financially closed during the reporting period maintaining the total number of closed projects at eight.
Table 3.7 provides a comparison of anticipated project closures at the agency level. The increase in
project extensions can be linked to the reduced number of completed projects in 2007 resulting in a shift
to closures scheduled for 2008 and beyond. For example, it was anticipated that 40 projects would have
closed in 2007, but only 24 confirmed operational closures thereby shifting project closure to 2008 and
2009.

Implementation Challenges
The individual SOT reports contained in Section 4 provide a more detailed account of the challenges that
are unique to each sector. The following paragraphs summarize some the common challenges described
in both the SOT reports and the individual participating UN organization project reports.
3.4.1 Capacity development
Capacity development has been identified as one of
the primary objectives for future UNDG ITF support. However, the barriers to efficiently and effectively planning and executing activities remain significant for many projects. Many of the UNDG ITF
projects to date have capacity development components, so the UNCT has acquired a solid understanding about the challenges in relation to the achievement of this important priority.
While the GoI has communicated that all capacity
development activities should take place inside Iraq,
attracting international experts for extended periods
remains a challenge, as does the restricted mobility
across governorate boarders for foreign participants and many Iraqi groups, including government officials, facilitators and UN staff. Given the internal barriers, workshops continue to be organized outside of
Iraq, forcing Participating UN Organizations to contend with the challenges of securing visas, the need to
limit the number of participants and most importantly limited opportunity to integrate new knowledge
into the normal operations of the counterpart institutions in a uniform manner. Many agencies have had to
cancel training workshops and study tours repeatedly because of visa restrictions in a variety of countries.
Additional barriers include lengthy nomination processes and postponement of planned events due to
changing GoI priorities.
Programmes that target strengthening national systems and capacities to provide social services face challenges in establishing consistent, equitable service delivery across the nation. Localized violence, inadequate financing, inconsistent access and knowledge, internal displacement and centralized governance are
all factors that impede holistic reform across the country.
Participating UN Organizations and Iraqi counterparts alike face problems with human resource recruitment and retention. High staff turnover, lengthy recruitment processes and the security situation compound the ability to recruit and retain adequate human capacity to meet the demand for programme management.
3.4.2 Policy Development
Another priority within the UN Iraq Assistance Strategy is policy development. While a significant number of UNDG ITF approved projects integrate policy development into programmes, the weak capacity
and active participation of high level policy makers to fully engage in the formulation and utilization of
policy remains a challenge. Both capacity building and policy development require direct engagement
with Iraqi counterparts, which is constrained by access due to the security situation as well as remote lo25
cations of some counterparts. The centralized system of governance was often cited as barrier to private
sector development and decentralization.
3.4.3 Availability of Adequate Funding
Several sectors continue to recite the negative impact of inflation and rising prices limiting the availability
of resources to fully implement planned activities. Additionally, access to the inability to secure adequate
resources to fully implement planned, and needed, activities was raised including the temporary suspension of UNDG ITF proposal review and approval processes during the UNCT restructuring.
3.4.4
Communication
Communication remains a critical obstacle that most Participating UN Organizations endeavour to overcome in order to sustain momentum and outreach throughout project implementation. From failing infrastructure to restrictions placed on movement, each factor further compromises the ability of implementing
partners to effectively communicate and work together. Centralized GoI administration persists, vesting
decision-making power in the hands of a few. This diminishes staff authority and impedes government
partners’ ability to effectively manage projects and provide timely information.
3.4.5
Security
The prevailing security situation continues to challenge and affect planned and efficient project implementation. Military operations, curfews, restrictions on movement, closed travel corridors to access communities, and attacks against health workers, teachers, and civil servants continue as a constraint. It constrains the presence of international experts inside the country, which makes capacity building and monitoring difficult. Despite this, the UNCT has increased the number of missions into Iraq, with the permanent placement of senior personnel in Baghdad by some agencies.
3.5
Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting
At the Fund level, as reported in the seventh six-month progress report, the UNDP solicited the services
of the United Nations Board of Auditors (UNBOA), as UNDP’s external auditors, to provide an independent assessment of the performance of the MDTF Office in its role as the AA for the UNDG ITF. The
period reviewed was 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2006. The final UNBOA report will be available in
late 2008.
At the project level, as highlighted in Table 3.2, of the 140 approved projects and joint programmes (180
individual agency projects) as of 30 September 2008, 63 are reported as operationally closed (72 individual agency projects). The total amount of financially closed projects did not change during the reporting
period and remains at eight.
3.6
Assessments, Studies, and Evaluations
The following table is compiled from inputs received from the individual agency progress reports. The
assessments, studies, and evaluations listed below 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 generated within the UNDG ITF-funded projects.

3.7
Project Implementation Highlights
The individual UNDG ITF projects have reported steady implementation progress, taking into account the
operating context. During the reporting period, Participating UN Organizations indicated that military
actions in Basrah and Sadr City, followed by Missan, Mosul and Diyala, interrupted ongoing implementation and in some cases diverted attention from development activities to security and military efforts
resulting in humanitarian situations. Many Participating UN Organizations also diverted their planned
activities to respond to the crises, particularly in the provision of basic services such as water and health.
Following these various outbreaks of violence, several of the Participating UN Organizations and SOTs
indicated a modest improvement in the operating environment and reduction in civilian deaths due to a
slight improvement in the security situation.
In addition to security improvements, Agencies attribute the UNCT’s new strategic focus and an increase
in international UN staff presence in Baghdad to improvements in the overall implementation context.
Several Agencies reported more frequent travel to Iraq during the reporting period. The missions helped
in strengthening the cooperation with the counterparts, and in better assessing the needs and overcoming
implementation challenges.
While the above was noted, the extent to which increased security of the civil population had a positive
impact on UNDG ITF projects varies drastically based on the locale(s) of the project, the target audience
and government counterparts, and services to be provided. Decentralized activities and the delivery of
many basic social services to vulnerable areas across Iraq continued to face obstacles and delays, and certain segments of society continue to be the target of threats and attacks, which affects access to basic social services.
The following section provides a brief highlight of the various project activities at the sector level:
Education: The Education Sector has supported a total of 25 UNDG ITF projects, of which 10 remain
active and 15 are operationally closed. Of the $189.16 million in funding, $152.98 million (81 percent)
has been commitments by Participating UN Organizations while $125.21 million (66 percent) reflect
disbursements as of 30 June 2008. Seven agencies have contributed to the educational gains to date,
including the comprehensive rehabilitation of 68 schools benefiting approximately 64,244 children,
establishing healthy schools through the provision of hearing and vision screening, access to safe drinking
water and sanitation, and recreational opportunities. Vocational and technical education has been heavily
supported with the re-establishment of vocational centres, curriculum development and the provision of
small business opportunities, including the provision of small grants and tools. Over 17,718 students
enrolled in accelerated learning programmes, and two youth centers in Basrah and Baghdad were
reestablished for the benefit of 838 children and youth. The Health Promoting Initiative (HPS) was
launched in 2008, with awareness campaigns for 3,000 teachers, community leaders and students.
Capacity development activities included training 370 doctors and 230 teachers in HPS, 142 doctors on
visual detection, and 280 doctors and 100 teachers on psychosocial support. The Educational
Management Information System (EMIS) was institutionalized at central and governorate levels,
including training of 10 MOEDD and DOE officials.
Water & Sanitation: The Water and Sanitation Sector has supported 15 UNDG ITF projects, of which
eight are active and seven operationally closed. Total approved funding is $68.45 million, with $57.08
million (83 percent) in contract commitments and $43.44 million (63 percent) in disbursements.
Collectively, more than 1.5 million Iraqis in urban and rural areas and camps are benefiting from
improved safe water and 500,000 from access to safe means of solid/liquid waste disposal. Projects in this
sector have increased access to improved sanitation and minimized public health risks, increased access to
safe drinking water, and rehabilitation of water treatment facilities. The delivery and supply of safe water
was maintained to residents, IDPs and returnees. Activities also include supporting the technical and
28
capacity development of the MoMPW and Governorates. To date, 25 local officials in MoMPW have
been trained in solid waste management, 1092 MoMPW laboratory staff in all governorates trained, and
4,000 community leaders trained on hygiene education. Overall training has progressed to 58 percent
during the reporting period.
Health & Nutrition: This sector has 21 UNDG ITF projects, of which 13 are active and eight are operationally closed. Overall, the sector has received a total of $161.20 million in funding, with $129.14 million (80 percent) in contract commitments and $101.70 million (63 percent) in disbursements. The sector
maintains ongoing support to strengthening Primary Health Care (PHC) facilities, including screening for
visual and hearing difficulties in schools, and technical support to the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Departments of Health (DoHs) through technical training and monitoring. During the reporting period, the
sector supplied equipment and supplies to supported VSAT connectivity of the MoH with the 19 DoHs to
enhance quick data transfer to support decision-making and policy formulation. Through the implementation of the Integrated Management of Child Health Strategy (IMCI) in six governorates, it provided training to 108 health professionals. During the reporting period, the sector conducted a 10-day mop-up immunization campaign that targeted 250,000 children with measles or MMR vaccines in high-risk areas in
the three governorates. Several training sessions to strengthen the capacity of the Capacity of Codex Alimentarius Commission to improve food safety standards were completed as well as the rehabilitation of
the Babil Milk Collecting Center following systematic preventive approaches to food safety. It also responded to acute humanitarian needs resulting from military operations in Basrah and Baghdad-Sadr City
during the conflict period.
Housing and Shelter: This sector has 3 UNDG ITF projects, one active and two closed. Total approved
funding is $24.55 million, with $24.55 million (100 percent) in contract commitments and $22.06 million
(90 percent) in disbursements. The sector has contributed to the development of several governorate
housing strategies and the Internal Displacement Policy that addresses displaced populations issues for
temporary shelter. The Community Housing Fund disbursed 961 loans with value of US $2,549,910, and
rehabilitated 65 houses in Hay Al-Maghreb-Baghdad benefited about 455 people as well as one public
hospital, one youth centre and one primary health centre. The sector also provides training in various
areas, including monitoring shelter needs.
Agriculture and Food Security: This sector has 19 UNDG ITF projects, of which 14 are active and five
are closed. Total approved funding is $132.29 million, with $100.93 million (76 percent) in contract
commitments and $89.76 million (68 percent) in disbursements. Sector projects focus on the revitalization
of agro-industrial capacity and the strengthening of institutional capacity to proactively develop and
monitor effective agricultural strategies and policies. Activities have included the development of a
pumping station asset database, installations of six pumping stations to provide irrigation benefiting
43,000 people. A total of 28 training courses have been held, benefiting approximately 1,100 poor and
marginalized persons and 1,509 vulnerable beneficiaries were trained in food related professions.
Additionally, a training of trainers on the Monitoring and Evaluation Systems was conducted for 18 staff
members from the Central Organization for Statistics and Information Technology (COSIT) and
Kurdistan Regional Statistics Office (KRSO).
Protection: This sector has 10 UNDG ITF projects, five active and five closed. Total approved funding is
$41.61 million, with $31.96 million (77 percent) in contract commitments and $31.06 million (75 percent) in disbursements. The sector has provided significant capacity support to practitioners and civil servants to increase their knowledge about human rights and provide assistance to IDPs, returnees, refugees
and vulnerable communities. Twenty-seven ministry staff members participated in a one-week training on
a human rights-based approach to programming, while 16 Ministry of Displacement and Migration
(MoDM) staff completed a training of trainers course on human rights and international humanitarian
law. Some 28 lawyers received training and 540 civil society actors, academics and university teachers on
peace building topics. A total of 57 events (29 workshops, six trainings, 22 information campaigns) were
organized by different Protection and Assistance Centres (PACs), and the PACs/Mobile Teams provided
29
for the legal needs of 11,825 IDPs, returnees, refugees/asylum-seekers and vulnerable community members, 40 percent of them women. The PAC network solved 8,521 cases and 3,055 quick protection queries.
Governance: The sector has 25 UNDG ITF projects, 12 active and 13 closed, including 15 extensions and
three joint programmes. Total approved funding is $261.89 million (24 percent of total), with $224.94
million (86 percent) in contract commitments and $214.40 million (82 percent) in disbursements. The
sector continues to support capacity and policy development to a range of government ministries and civil
society organizations. Several study tours took place, including a tour to Northern Ireland for the Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) and Council of Representatives (COR) to increase their understanding
of conflict resolution, power sharing, consensus building, political transition and role of grassroots
movements. Similarly, two groups of Iraqi business leaders and NGOs deepened their knowledge of reconciliation through study visits to South Africa. The ‘Right to Live in Safety’ campaign in Baghdad provided two one-week workshops for 46 academics and three workshops for 49 CSOs, in addition to 150
ongoing campaigns. The Provincial Powers Law was enacted, paving the way for the implementation of
the constitutional provisions of decentralized service delivery. The Declaration of Principles on the legal
framework for NGOs in Iraq was adopted and progress made toward finalization of an NGO law.
Economic Reform and Diversification: The sector has 22 UNDG ITF projects, 15 active and seven
closed. The total approved funding is $231.70 million, with $162.55 million (70 percent) in contract
commitments and $138.34 million (60 percent) in disbursements. A new thematic area with the UNCT
coordination structure, the sector has provided several funds aimed at stimulating economic activity.
Those include a Temporary Income Assistance Fund to support vulnerable and poor groups in creating
livelihoods, a Local Development Fund to support community infrastructure projects, and a Rural Recovery
Fund, providing micro grants to local farmers. To assist in the effective targeting of poor and vulnerable
populations, the Sector has recently renewed its commitment and emphasis on the rehabilitation and
revitalization of agro-industrial capacity. The upgrading of Iraq’s electricity system to support economic
growth is main priority of the sector, supported by such projects as upgrading and replacing power plant
facility spare parts in Mussaib, Mossul and Taji, completing rehabilitation on the Taji Power Station Unit
Nos 1 and 6 to provide production of 16-18 megawatts of electricity, completing rehabilitation of the
Umm Qasr distribution network and installing small diesel generators in Southern Iraq. Capacity support
has led to the completion of the National Dispatch Center II project’s main database as well. Preliminary
activities for the major reconstruction works of Samara shrine are progress well and a permanent
UNESCO site team was in place by May 2008.

4. Sector Outcome Team Reports
The cluster reports and matrixes generally contained in Parts One and Two of the report, respectively,
have been replaced with the following individual SOT reports. The reports have been prepared by the
SOT with technical support from the SCSO M&E Officer and MDTF Office.
The information contained in the reports is similar to the information provided in the cluster matrixes, but
the new SOT reports aim to provide a broader overview of the progress at the output and outcome levels
rather than activity level.

Aligning UNDG ITF Projects & Joint Programmes within the SOT Structure
Following the restructuring exercise, the MDTF Office undertook an exercise with the SCSO to map the
projects and joint programmes that had been approved and funded under the old cluster structure to the
parameters of the new SOT structure. The majority of the previously approved and funded projects and
joint programmes remained within similar thematic areas, such as Education, Health, and WATSAN.
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. Table 2.1 in Section
2 of the report illustrates the restructuring from cluster to SOT.
For purposes of SOT programmatic narrative reporting, the individual SOT may choose to report some
projects within the new SOT structure aligned with the most relevant outcomes and outputs. However, for
the financial reporting purposes of the MDTF Office, 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.
For example, C10-09 (Local Area Development Programme) was originally funded through the Poverty
Reduction and Human Development sub-cluster. Under the new coordination structure, this sub-cluster
was moved into the new Economic Reform and Diversification SOT as a sub-SOT. The Participating UN
Organizations prefer to report on the programmatic progress of the project within the Governance SOT,
while the MDTF Office will present the financial status of the project under the Poverty Reduction and
Human Development sub-SOT within the Economic Reform and Diversification SOT.

School health and hygiene strengthened to respond to outbreaks and to raise awareness to prevent further communicable diseases among students in vulnerable communities and their
learning locations
Local communities and education authorities in target areas empowered to plan, manage and
sustain education activities
Operating Context during the Reporting Period
The UN and International NGOs (INGOs) continue to maintain a low profile to avoid any possible
negative repercussions to their offices and staff. However, it is noteworthy that UN missions to Baghdad,
South/Center and Kurdistan region have increased during the reporting period, and many organizations
have started establishing a permanent international presence in Baghdad.
Despite the slight improvement earlier this year in security conditions, Iraq’s volatile security situation
still constrains operational action. Attacks and threats on children, schools, students and teachers are
exacerbating the downward trend of attendance, especially for girls. Continued violence and military
operations affect access to school on a regular basis. For example, military interventions in Baghdad
during the months of March and April 2008 caused the closing of 22 schools, 11 of which sustained
major damages. Curfews were imposed during this period, dropping attendance to 30 percent, and resulting in serious disruptions to exam results since most students had completed only 50-65 percent of
the year’s curriculum. In Basrah , a similar number of schools were destroyed during the military operations there in January, and other education facilities were occupied by militias.
Preliminary data from recent household surveys in predefined vulnerable areas across Iraq suggest that
there are vulnerable pockets across the country where attendance is extremely low. For example, in
four different communities in Baghdad, the average attendance rate (from March to June) was 31 percent, out of which only 28 percent of students attending have adequate school supplies.
32
Another concern is the gender gap between boys and girls in enrolment and attendance, which remains
high at all education levels, with no exception across geographical locations. The gap in primary enrolment ranges from 7 to 21 percent across governorates. Of particular alarm is the greater gender gap in
non-formal education. For instance, in the Accelerated Learning Programme (ALP), a programme targeting out-of-school children with particular focus on girls, enrolment of boys is three times higher than
that of girls.
Obtaining reliable data for proper planning and timely response remains a challenge for the sector. Therefore the sector is still referring to anecdotal reports from different sources and to the limited information
shared by MoEd, while awaiting results of the 2007/2008 School Survey.
III.
Implementation Constraints and Challenges during the Reporting Period
Inadequate funding hinders the realization of the sector’s planned goals and targets. Even the 2008 CAP
has not managed to deliver adequate resources to the sector. Only 23 percent of planned projects have
been funded.
Conducting meetings, workshops or trainings in Amman has become more difficult with the rising
pressure for an increased presence inside Iraq, in addition to the visa restrictions imposed by the Government of Jordan in March 2008. Equally challenging, however, is carrying out major activities or
events in different governorates across the country. Free movement across governorate borders remains
impeded for many groups, including government officials, facilitators and particularly UN staff.
Poor coordination and communication among government entities, especially between ministries, are an
additional challenge. Limited information-sharing among directorates within the same ministry often
compromises the credibility and reliability of data.
With the current centralized administration and capacity of Iraqi counterparts, the ability to respond
promptly with information or programmatic decisions remains somewhat limited, exacerbated by high
staff turnover.
Implementation delays in a highly inflationary environment have major cost implications, specifically
for rehabilitation/construction activities, with prices of many building materials substantially increasing
during the implementation period. In addition, cumbersome and time-consuming processes involved in
securing the necessary customs and border-crossing clearances for internationally procured goods also
result in significant time overruns.

(FTE), the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR), the Ministry of Labour and
Social Affairs (MOLSA), the MoH, the DoHs, the Ministry of Youth and Sports (MoYS), technical institutes and university departments. Some projects continue to be implemented in collaboration with local
NGOs and contractors, since they are better aware of the local operating environment and are stakeholders of local development.
The sector’s various interventions target all educational levels: kindergarten (early childhood), primary,
intermediate, secondary and higher education, in addition to adult literacy through non-formal education
activities. The geographical coverage of projects and activities varies from national to governorate level,
and in some area-based projects, coverage has been curtailed to district or school level. Emphasis has
been given to remote and rural areas where attendance is low and drop-out high, especially for girls.
Education SOT members include: ACTED, EMDH, ESCWA, International Medical Corps (IMC), International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC), International Relief and Development (IRD), International

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results
As a first step for developing a long-term national education strategy for Iraq, covering basic and higher
education, the sector pooled efforts with the World Bank and conducted a kick-off workshop in February
with the participation of 22 MoEd and MoHE officials. The workshop resulted in consensus on the vision
and way forward for putting a strategic framework in place. The next meeting will be held towards the
end of 2008 with the participation of key education planners from specialized international organizations,
such as the International Institute for Educational Planning at UNESCO.
Although the Iraqi Constitution provides for the right to education, an increasing number of children are
not completing basic education, leading to an increase in child and adult illiteracy. Following a number of
meetings dedicated to examining this challenge, significant progress has been achieved in reaching a consensus with MoEd to scale up non-formal education (NFE) as an interim strategy to ensure that children
receive basic education. As a start, the sector is currently providing technical support to MoEd in drafting
a strategy paper on non-formal education in Iraq.
The lack of adequate facilities, including schools, vocational or technical institutes, and other learning
centres, has further limited access to education, especially for girls. The sector has continued working to
improve school environment to meet the minimum child-friendly standards. During the reporting period,
34 schools were comprehensively rehabilitated, and water and sanitation facilities in 68 schools were upgraded or rehabilitated in Baghdad, Kebrala, Missan, Muthanna, Ninewa, Salaheldin, Suleimanyah, Tamim and Wasit Governorates, benefiting approximately 64,244 children (33,330 girls, 30,914 boys). In
addition, 19 classrooms were renovated and 40 additional classrooms were established in a number of
these schools, to cater for more students and ease overcrowding and multi-shift schooling. New school
furniture and equipment were also provided to 21 schools. Implementation of these rehabilitation activities has generated approximately 100,000 person-days of local employment, and work is currently ongoing in another 152 schools. In an effort to reinforce existing vocational and technical centers, technical
36
equipment was procured and delivered to 37 vocational schools and assessments of other vocational and
technical institutes were conducted, leading to the ongoing procurement of laboratory equipment.
With the growing need for alternative education opportunities for out-of-school children and youth, the
sector is focusing on expanding the outreach of the Accelerated Learning Programme (ALP) in Iraq. To
date, 17,718 students are enrolled in ALP (12,914 males, 4,804 females) and efforts are ongoing to develop a strategy to raise this number considerably, with emphasis upon girls. Two youth centres in Basrah
and Baghdad have been activated or re-established, offering recreational activities including computer
training, drama, art, photography, library services, sewing, music and sports. Approximately 838 children
and youth are currently benefiting from the centres (598 males, 240 females).
In preparation for the launch of the Educational TV Channel, the TV station has been rehabilitated,
equipment installed and 35 MOED educational specialists trained on ‘Preparing and Presenting Educational TV Programmes’. The TV will serve as an educational tool that can overcome time and space constraints as well as security and economic challenges through 24-hour broadcasting of educational programming based on the Iraqi school curricula. It will thus provide free education to many disadvantaged
children across the country including refugees, IDPs, students who are in and out of school, girls, and
children with special needs, among many other groups. In addition, it will contribute to developing the
capacity of teachers and educational specialists, as well as allow easy, quick and continuous access to developed curricula.
Early childhood development (ECD) is a neglected area
in Iraq. According to UNICEF Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey MICS3, only 2.5 percent of Iraqi pre-school
children had access to organized activities in 2006. In
early 2008, ECD kits were distributed to 577 kindergartens, 107 grade one primary school level and 61 nurseries located in 15 governorates across Iraq. The kits are
designed to assist in restoring a sense of normalcy to
young children below the age of six, for play during
school days. A library and children’s theatre is also being established at the national Early Childhood Development Centre in Baghdad.
Young children playing with ECD Kits – Source:
In order to improve teaching and learning quality in schools, over 1,000 books were distributed to nine
libraries in nine different schools. MoEd contributed to creating libraries in these schools in order to
house the new books. To encourage children to go to school, basic school supplies were provided to
4,000 students (2,000 girls, 2,000 boys) and recreation kits were distributed to 18 primary schools and
one ALP school. The kits include education materials, stationery and teaching aid materials for 14,566
students. Additionally, 40,000 sets of ALP books were printed and distributed to cater for the expansion
of ALP schools and classrooms.
To support Iraqi children forced to stay home or attend reduced schooling hours, Supplementary Learning
Materials that were designed earlier for grades one and six were reprinted for distribution to 4,500 students, and materials/worksheets for grades two to five were developed for curricula in Arabic, English,
mathematics and science. The materials have been designed to ensure continuous learning during times
when schools are closed or teaching hours shortened. In addition, E-learning modules have been designed
and developed in biology, math, physics, chemistry and Arabic for secondary level grades nine to 12. The
sector also endeavors to strengthen Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education
through a pilot project in five governorates. Some 208 computers and International Computer Driving
License (ICDL) training materials were procured and distributed to 16 ICT training centers and pilot
schools. In addition, 16 laptops were handed over to MoE for conducting an e-learning training pro37
gramme, and under the Iraqi Networking academies initiative, 34 academies (five regional, 29 local) have
been fully established and equipped with IT materials.
As a response to the serious lack of reliable and timely information, the SOT has strengthened its efforts
to complete the institutionalization of a decentralized Educational Management Information System
(EMIS) at all levels (central and governorate). Support has been continuously provided during the reporting period, with several meetings and trainings held for the benefit of more than 10 technical officials
from MoEd and DoEs. The sector also extends technical assistance constantly via UN consultants and
programmers. The first EMIS generated report for 2007/2008 School Survey is underway.
There is a tremendous need for raising awareness among communities on health and hygiene. Using
schools as an entry point to the community, a Health Promoting Initiative (HPS) was launched in 2008, in
which several awareness campaigns were conducted for more than 3,000 teachers, community leaders,
parents and students within the school community. Additionally, 46 primary schools were strengthened to
promote health and hygiene messages (two in each governorate and 12 in Baghdad) and efforts were intensified to boost the number of schools upholding these messages.
To promote sustainability of appropriate physical environments in schools, the Education SOT has supported MoEd in drafting a school maintenance manual. The manual has been finalized and will be printed
and distributed soon, and a consultant will be hired to develop a nation-wide school maintenance strategy
for Iraq. As part of promoting health in schools, more than 6,615 students in 147 primary schools (out of
a targeted 150) in eight governerates were screened for visual and hearing difficulties and musclo-skeletal
abnormalities. A number of these students were referred for further medical care: for instance, in Suleimaniyah governorate, out of 810 students screened in 21 schools, 57 (seven percent) were referred for
special care.
Capacity development activities were supported at all levels (central and governorate), to respond to the
emerging need for in-house technical expertise. Under the Health Promoting Initiative, 370 doctors (205
men, 165 women) and 230 teachers (120 men, 80 women) were trained on health promotion at schools
and health education, and 142 doctors (44 technicians, 30 teachers) on examination of visual acuity to
detect visual errors among students. In addition, 19 national training activities were successfully conducted for 280 doctors (213 men, 67 women) and 100 teachers (36 men, 64 women) on psychosocial support and psychological first aid services. Within the TOT programme in teacher education, five training
workshops on environment, geology, special education, peace and democracy, and fine arts were organized in Bangor and Foggia Universities, benefiting and exposing 40 Iraqi core university lecturers to external trainings. Moreover, to address the scarcity of job opportunities for youth, a training was conducted
for the “National Committee for Employment” (with a total of 14 participants, 13 men, 1 woman) on employment policy. A TOT workshop was also carried out to introduce the Know About Business Manual
for 26 participants (19 men, seven women) from MoEd, MoLSA and FTE.
The sector is progressing quite well in attaining some of the planned output targets for 2008, particularly
outputs 1.1, 1.3, 2.2 and 3.2. However, in view of the current constraints and challenges discussed earlier,
a number of targets need frequent adjustment to reflect realities of capacity and funding.
Shortage in emergency funding hindered progress under Outcome 4 (CAP), the most significant achievement being the sector’s response to the recent crisis in Sadr City, where immediate rapid assessments
were carried out to measure the impact on education, identify needs and respond accordingly. Twenty-six
schools were found on assessment to be in very bad physical condition, due to poor maintenance, the ongoing conflict, or both. Twenty-two schools were directly affected by military operations, 11 sustaining
major damages. The sector has allocated available emergency funds and started rehabilitation works in
eight schools, while MoEd is working on the rest. It is expected that the schools will be ready for greater
enrolment before the start of the 2008/2009 academic year.
38
The sector conducted a psychosocial assessment of children, parents and teachers in Sadr City. Nearly 60
percent of interviewed mothers reported that their children act strangely (suffer from intense psychological distress) when they hear loud sounds. Nearly 80 percent reported that their children suffer pervasive
feelings of sadness, exhaustion and lack energy. There is increased crying and hostility while playing and
interacting. The number of orphans has increased, as has the number of families without a breadwinner.
However, there has been no assistance to address these emerging issues. The greatest needs for children
identified by parents and teachers were open and safe places for children to play, good education with
extra-curricular activities and cultural/sport centers & playgrounds. The psychosocial impact of violence
on children is surfacing in many other areas as well, underscoring the need to support students in schools.
So far, 32 schools (12 in Baghdad and 20 in other governorates) have been strengthened through the provision of psychosocial support. The sector has also started a TOT psychosocial training programme in
collaboration with the Protection Sector for 1,800 teachers in five governorates, including Baghdad.

Operating Context during the Reporting Period
An apparent positive change in the operational environment during the reporting period may be attributed
to three factors: a relative easing of the security situation, particularly in Baghdad, which in return has
lessened the delay of work implementation; increased demand on the UN country team to strengthen institutions, capacity development and governance for effective service delivery and sustainable livelihoods
and a refocusing of the UN Assistance Strategy towards four macro outcomes – economic policy and diversification, governance and national reconciliation, protection systems, and essential social services.
All projects under implementation were regularly monitored by Iraqi staff working for UN agencies and
NGOs. International staff, particularly from the UN agencies (UNDP, UN-HABITAT, UNICEF and UNOPS), frequently traveled to Iraq during the reporting period (for instance, there were two trips by staff of
UNICEF, and seven by UN HABITAT staff) to assure better monitoring and coordination among the
partner ministries, Amman Offices and local bases inside Iraq. These missions hve also enhanced UN visibility, especially through site visits and observation of the situation on the ground in many working locations, better understanding of the working environment, and attempts to resolve the difficulties that hin42
dered implementation. In addition, the missions helped in strengthening the cooperation with the counterparts and in better assessing the needs.
Local and national technical working groups have been established by the MoMPW and its relative directorates to ensure smooth implementation of the project. These working groups are mostly comprised of
joint assessment committee members, project endorsement committee members, implementation surveillance engineers and initial and final receiving committee members, who have so far provided valuable
inputs and information to the locally recruited UN consultants and facilitators.
III.
Implementation Constraints and Challenges during the Reporting Period
During the course of implementation of the above-listed projects, UN agencies and NGOs faced obstacles
that hindered the progress of some of the projects, delaying the completion date. Deterioration of the
security situation in certain Iraqi governorates, although localized and of short duration, has caused major
delays in the execution of the project activities. Many contractors have limited capacity for implementing
water and sanitation projects. Additionally, progress was hindered by prolonged procedures by various
counterparts for approval of work during the implementation and upon expiration of the warranty period.
Occasional delays were also caused by changes in the scope of work requested by some counterparts, and
by interference from some local council members.
IV.
Coverage and Counterparts
The primary partners and recipients of support include the 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 laboratories including a central lab of the MoEn); the
communities, including the IDPs in the project area; vulnerable groups suffering from safe water scarcity,
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 benefited from employment opportunities.
Water and sanitation projects have been implemented in Anbar, Babil, Basrah , Dahuk, Diyala, Erbil,
Kerbala, Kirkuk, Najaf, Ninewa, Sulaimaniyah, Thi Qar, and Wasit. In Baghdad, the Al-Karama treatment plant will serve a part of Al-Karkh district and most of Kadhimia district.

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results
The Water and Sanitation Sector members, comprising UN Agencies and NGOs, are jointly contributing
to the target of the ICI to improve access to water and sanitation by one-third.
Twelve UNDG ITF water and sanitation projects are currently under various stages of completion, with
average progress at 76 percent, while 44 projects implemented by six international NGOs and five Iraqi
NGOs (some completed and some on track) have contributed to increased access to safe water and
44
sanitation facilities to the most vulnerable groups living in remote areas, the IDPs and the returnees. It is
worth mentioning that the sector plans in future will focus more on delivery of sanitation services,
especially because these are directly linked to water-borne and vector-borne diseases.
During the reporting period, it is estimated that from the ongoing projects, more than 1.5 million Iraqis
in urban and rural areas and in camps gained improved access to safe water, and half a million people
gained access to safe solid and liquid waste disposal. The projects were implemented in 14 governorates:
Anbar, Babil, Baghdad, Basrah , Dahuk, Diyala, Erbil, Kerbala, Kirkuk, Najaf, Ninewa, Sulaimaniyah,
Thi Qar, and Wasit.
During the reporting period, water and sanitation supplies, works and
services were delivered to Um -Qasr port and Abu Al Khaseeb towns
in Basrah Governorate by UNDP, benefiting approximately 180,000
inhabitants. UNICEF supported increased access to improved
sanitation for 155,000 inhabitants of Kirkuk and nearly 400,000
inhabitants in Basrah . In Wasit, 225,000 inhabitants benefited from
increased access to safe drinking water.
Proper disposal of domestic wastewater in Kerbala by UNICEF
Rehabilitation of Himdan Sewage
through the extension of storm water and sewerage networks, helped
Treatment Plant-Basra
minimize the risk of water-borne diseases for nearly 660,000 direct
residents and numerous pilgrims during religious festivals. UNHAITAT supported the proper disposal of storm and domestic wastewater in three neighborhoods in
Samawa City. In Baghdad, UNDP supported the final stages of rehabilitation and renovation of a 10
million-gallon daily capacity water treatment plant, serving approximately 400,000 inhabitants.
A comprehensive water quality surveillance program was expanded throughout the country by UNICEF
and WHO, including the rehabilitation of four quality control laboratories and the supply of seven fully
equipped mobile laboratories to support the MoEn in three country regions, MoMPW in remote areas of
certain governorates, Baghdad Mayoralty to cover Baghdad outskirts, and MoEn in KRG to cover the
three northern governorates.
Master plans were developed for ‘Integrated Solid Waste Management’ for MoMPW and for Basrah
Governorate developed. Solid waste facilities were provided, including two fully equipped offices in
Baghdad and Basrah and selected transfer stations and landfills in Basrah , and supplied with collection
and disposal equipment. Repair workshops in Basrah remain to be provided by UNICEF and UNHABITAT.
Rehabilitation and extension of water networks with a total length
of 56 km was completed by UNOPS in Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and
Thi Qar, improving the quality and increasing the quantity of water
to approximately 68,000 inhabitants in those three governorates.
The safe water supply was maintained though by extending water
networks, installing and repairing new pumps, supplying water
filters and storage tanks, digging new wells, and providing the
supported power supply equipment to original residents, IDPs and
Access to drinking water for
returnees living in 26 villages and 21 sub-districts by nine NGOs.
225,000 residents in Wassit
Additionally, five NGOs rehabilitated 13 compact units &
implemented reverse osmosis units in 13 villages. Sewerage pipelines and open channels were
constructed in chronic sewage flood-risk areas in two villages, 19 schools and one camp by three NGOs.
One pumping station was repaired.
45
Hygiene practices and kits were delivered for advocacy and awareness raising, to reduce the risk of
cholera and to improve hygiene conditions for diverse communities nationwide, with a special focus on
vulnerable groups, children in schools and women.
Technical capacity was developed for governmental counterparts in the operation and maintenance of
water and sewage treatment plans, network repair and leak detection, network planning and design, new
technology, environmental security, water quality testing and monitoring, solid waste management,
planning and spatial analyses of infrastructure using Geographic Information System (GIS).
At the national level, a comprehensive review of existing laws, policies, and programmes in solid waste
management is ongoing in tandem with the development of relevant capacity of central and local officials.
More on-the-job training will be conducted to expand the knowledge base and ensure sustainability at the
governorate level. In addition, the sector contributes to strengthening implementation capacity for local
NGOs through partnerships in development and rehabilitation projects and through technical cooperation.
During the first quarter of 2008, 25 local officials from MMPW received training in formulating and
implementing national laws pertaining to solid waste management, and will receive advanced training in
the second half of 2008. In the area of water quality control, 1,092 laboratory staff members in all
governorates belonging to MoMPW have been technically trained, while 4,000 community leaders have
been trained in hygiene education. Training coverage for all other projects progressed to 58 percent
during the reporting period.

II.
Operating Context during the Reporting Period
The health and nutrition situation in Iraq continues to face challenges from a combination of chronic vulnerabilities (weakness in accessibility, poverty, inflation, food insecurity) and crisis-related factors (military activities, human rights violations, displacement and ethnic tensions). Recent improvement in the
political and security situation in 2008 has at least halved the number of incidents and deaths (40 and 10
respectively per day) compared to 2006-2007. Over the long term as elections approach, localized insecurity is expected to increase, possibly leading to pockets of humanitarian crisis. Access and utilization of
health services remain far from optimal and are highly vulnerable to conflicts and military action. The
most recent measles outbreak is a result of cumulative susceptible cases over the last four years in areas
that reported low vaccination rates during that period.
Under-five mortality rates (46 per 1,000) and maternal mortality rates (84 per 100,000) are already high
for the region. Diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections, further compounded by malnutrition, still account for about two-thirds of deaths amongst the under-five population. The increase in global food prices
and ongoing drought in some parts of Iraq may result in worsening nutrition in under-five children and
women. Stunting remains the predominant feature of growth failure (22 percent, with nearly half of them
severe according to WFP/GoI 2008 Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis) in underfive children in Iraq.
The seven percent increase in the Iraqi Gross Domestic Product (GDP) did not result in improvement in
macroeconomic indicators such as employment and job creation, and the poverty rate is still increasing.
The Iraqi health care delivery system is still burdened by displacement. Still, the rate of cumulative displacement throughout the country ranged from two percent at its lowest level in the four southern governorates to 22 percent at its highest level in Baghdad, Dahuk, Diyala and Kerbala .
Much of the disease burden is attributable to environmental risk factors such as improper management of
hospital hazardous waste, unsafe water, poor hygiene, poor living conditions and unsafe food. A cholera
48
outbreak in the second half of August 2007 was attributed to the poor quality of drinking water, poor sanitation and a dilapidated infrastructure. As of 13 January 2008, some 4,697 confirmed cases were reported
in 46 districts of 11 governorates. Similarly, as of 17 September 2008, 21 districts distributed across
seven governorates reported a total of 162 confirmed cases.
The Iraq Constitution of 2005 supports decentralization and devolution of administrative and financial
authority to the regions and the governorates. The sector has advocated continuous UN support for health
policy dialogue. Key areas include addressing the critical shortage of medicine and medical supplies,
emergency preparedness and response, and initiating the review of health care financing options, legislations and laws. Empowering and protecting a health care workforce has been designated a top priority,
and there has been a series of proposals to attract emigrant Iraqi health professionals back to Iraq.
Given the prevailing centralization, policy and legislative gaps, and the relatively weak planning and execution capacities across all government levels in Iraq, utilization of financial resources by regional health
managers has been less than optimal. Governorates receive investments and attempt to improve their capacities, but are restricted in the type of services they can plan and deliver. The lack of a regulatory
framework for allocating and using funds, and ambiguity in the respective roles of the central MoH, governorates and health departments in these processes, including the lack of a comprehensive and strategic
approach to financial management, contributed to this situation. The limited financial management skills
and experience of the newly appointed civil servants at the health directorate level were other contributing
factors. Poor communication and coordination among officials at various levels further compromised efficiency in managing financial resources.
III.
Implementation Constraints and Challenges during the Reporting Period
The SOT is supporting the MoH in addressing Iraqi health system priorities. Continued and coordinated
support is needed for reconstruction and development, and in providing humanitarian assistance to address vulnerabilities resulting from chronic deprivation, low access to and use of basic health services,
armed conflict, localised violence, internal displacement, and natural disasters.
The main challenges faced include a lack of engagement of high-level policy makers in formulating and
enacting policies, programmes and practices leading to equitable and sustainable health systems; inadequate financing of the health system; poor human resource planning; low access to and use of essential
health services; uneven access to health information; inadequate health maintenance during emergencies;
and challenges of poverty, gender inequality and the environment.
IV.
Coverage and Counterparts
The Health and Nutrition Sector strategy focused on supporting the vision of the MoH in revitalizing primary health care in Iraq. The main goal was to expand access of basic services to the general population,
especially vulnerable and unserved groups at rural and district levels. The strategy also sought to support
secondary and tertiary care by enhancing access to specialized quality service when needed. PHC centres
ensured efficient, coordinated service delivery at reduced cost. Various programs and projects, including
an extended programme for immunization, emergency obstetric care and a food safety programme, targeted maternal and child health to decrease MMR and IMR in Iraq. Other public health programmes, although targeting specific geographic areas, impacted the population at large. These included programmes
to eliminate malaria and leishmaniasis, preparedness and response plans in the area of avian flu and pandemic influenza, and efforts to enhance the communicable disease surveillance system. To improve service quality and in response to the great need for equipment maintenance and repair, efforts to strengthen
local capacities in health care technologies are being supported.
Some of the allocated funds under ITF were used also to support service delivery to internally displaced
populations, those suffering injuries as a result of violence and military actions, or chronically deprived
49
populations. Efforts were made to avoid the development of parallel systems that would be difficult to
sustain. The sector also supported the integration of chronic illness and mental health treatment at the
PHC level to enhance access to and use of these services.

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results
The Health and Nutrition Sector is addressing health system priorities through a set of actions including institutional strengthening of
the MoH for better governance; development of policies and capacity
for regulation and enforcement; and equity in financing and provision of health services.
Maternal and infant mortality and morbidity in Iraq are considered to
be high in comparison to other countries in the region. Access and
utilization of care was also affected by many factors including shortages in resources, chronic deprivation and brain drain. On 20 June
2008, the MoH, in collaboration with the Iraqi Parliament conducted the first National Health System
Conference, during which a new vision and several recommendations were put forward for initiating
health sector reform, updating current laws and legislation, finalizing a five-year national health policy,
and developing capacities among health workers. The GoI is renewing its commitment to primary health
care as the cornerstone of the reform, and is committed to enhancing access to and quality of health services, the basic service package and public health safety standards regarding blood, food, and drug safety
in line with international health regulations. The conference called for an increase in national budget allocations for health from 5.3 to 10 percent, which was well received by the government.
To operationalize this vision, the Health and Nutrition Sector supported the development of a basic health
service package, which will have implications on health care financing options and the future direction of
the MoH. It envisages decentralization in decision making at governorate and district level.
Among the policies and guidelines reviewed and updated are those pertaining to making pregnancy safer
and to maternal, child and reproductive health. The revisions place more emphasis on adolescent health,
maternal mortality surveillance, newborn care, integrated management of childhood illness, sexually
transmitted infections, and HIV/AIDS.
To reduce the burden of disease and improve health indicators, several strategies and standard operational
procedures have been developed. These include a review of communication and social mobilization strategy for avian influenza based on 2007 Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP), the endorsement of a
51
communication strategy for HIV prevention among youth in Anbar, Diala and Wasit Governorates, and
the revision of the acute watery diarrhea case management protocol, emergency preparedness and response plan.
National guidelines on the treatment of diabetes mellitus and hypertension have been developed and are
being piloted as a first step towards the integration of non-communicable disease diagnosis and case management at the PHC level. The sector has also provided support to the MoYS in coordination with other
line ministers working on developing the youth strategy for 2009-2014. The document, a first political
step toward fostering leadership among Iraqi youth in building the new Iraq, addresses health, education,
sport, security laws and legislation, religion and employment. The final strategy will incorporate the results of the Youth KAP 2008 for the age group 10-30 years, to be conducted by the end of 2008.
To support the ministry’s efforts in the area of health care technology, a paper was drafted on the national
medical equipment policy and information system, also addressing human resource gaps.
The imbalance in human resource distribution is a major challenge in Iraq, exacerbated by brain drain,
displacement and insecurity. To support the development of second-line capacities, the sector endeavored
to train cadres in service delivery, policy development, and administrative and ancillary functions. To
operationalize the health care technology policy as developed, the
sector supported the training of eight medical equipment managers in
policy development and management, patient safety, and effective
and efficient use of resources.
Improving primary care performance as part of integrated care
ensures that the health care teams pull together to best serve patients’
medical, behavioral and social needs. The stronger the PHC system,
the higher the system quality and cost effectiveness, the greater the
impact on health. The sector supported the implementation of the
integrated management of child health strategy (IMCI) in Baghdad,
Basrah , Karkh and Rasafa, Najaf, Nassiriya and Ninawa. Some 108 health professionals doctors and
nurses worked at PHC centres to improve health care services to children under five.
In support of the integration of Noncommunicable Diseases (NCD) diagnosis and case management at the
primary health care level, a workshop was held in Amman to upgrade national expertise in the development of the national strategy for NCD prevention and control. The sector also supported the MoH in initiating the first rapid assessment of avoidable blindness in five districts of Iraq.
To improve health indicators and ensure linkages and continuity of care, a school initiative promoting
health was implemented in 46 schools in all governorates to raise awareness of health and hygiene. A
health screening for visual and hearing difficulties and bony skeletal abnormalities targeted primary
school students at 150 schools in eight governorates. To improve health literacy and promote compliance,
a national committee was formed to answer the call for global road safety. Road traffic injuries might not
be the leading cause of death, but they account for 27 percent of total injuries reported in 2007.
To address malnutrition rates, which remain high and are compounded by the large percentage of low
birth weight (14 percent as per 2006 MICS3) and poor feeding practices for infants/young children (25
percent breastfeed exclusively for less than six months), the first national conference was held in April
2008 to strengthen the capacity of physicians to counsel on infant/young child feeding practices.
To enhance MoH preparedness and response and to reduce avoidable deaths from avian and pandemic
influenza, the sector supported training, distribution of surveillance tools and health education campaigns
in susceptible areas including Babel, Kerbala, Najaf, Wasit and Qadisiya. The initiative led to immediate
action in the Al Faw district of Basrah , where dead poultry was discovered in a house. Actions underta52
ken included culling, preventing the sale of live birds at market, active surveillance and strengthening of
human resources. Similarly, training for a multi-sectoral response to cholera outbreak (involving 100 sector directors and 90 paramedics) targeted groups in Anbr, Diala, Muthanna and Wasit Governorates. Results-based management aimed at behavioral change in Erbil attracted 34 health education managers at
the governorate level from south centre and KRG.
Gaps remain in the health information system, despite continuous sector support. The sector is planning to
support emergency obstetric care surveillance and referral, given the high maternal mortality rate. There
are also plans to support a cancer registry using WHO software.
Comprehensive primary health care is carried out via a long-term
process that seeks to tackle overall health problems through an accessible permanent institutional infrastructure for general health services.
The sector has supported the revitalization of the primary health care
system in Iraq through infrastructural rehabilitation and construction
and provision of supplies and equipment. During the reporting period,
the sector supported construction and rehabilitation of public health
centres, benefiting an estimated 226,500; in the three northern governorates, seven are under construction and four under rehabilitation. In
Dyala, two public health centres have been constructed and handed over to the DoH, with an additional
two PHCs in Wasit and one in Basrah under construction.
The sector also supported rehabilitation and restoration of tertiary care facilities and specialized centers, including Basrah
Children’s Hospital, Halabja and Falluja Maternity and Child
Hospital, and Tikrit and Ramadi General Hospitals and the
National Center for Drug Quality Control and Research. To
complement capacity development activities and support policies targeting Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR), a total of
19 maternity wards have been equipped, rehabilitated and
handed over, while work continues in Erbil and Sulamania.
Additionally, 10 ambulances have been provided to strengthen
functionality of these facilities.
Infrastructural support also included warehouses, such as provided in Basrah , and vaccine storage that
will serve the four lower governorates and Babel vaccine storage that will serve the upper five southern
governorates. Rehabilitation of two medical equipment repair shops in Baghdad is ongoing, enhancing
capacity in the area of maintenance and equipment repair. This project was initiated in response to the
large amount of non-operational equipment in Kimadia. Additionally, maintenance vehicles for medical
equipment sections at DOH in Basrah, Karkh, Rasafa and Mosul were provided. The health information
system is one of the main concerns in Iraq. The sector supported the VSAT connectivity of MoH with the
19 DoHs to enhance quick data transfer to support decision-making and policy formulation.
In terms of supplies and provision of equipment to ensure service delivery, 10,000 quadruple blood bags
were supplied on an emergency basis to the national blood transfusion centre in Baghdad. Medical
equipment worth $148,000 was provided for the burn unit at Al Karkh Hospital. Ophthalmology equipment worth $323,837 was provided to MoH to upgrade eye care centers and establish one center of excellence. Part of this equipment will be used to equip 22 community vision centres and selected primary eye
care centres. This is also complemented by school health programmes where 100 Snellens chart for detection of visual error were provided. New furniture and medical equipment for three PHCs in Thiqar, Al
Rifai and Chebayesh benefited 16,820 people.
53
Response to community needs remains one of the most challenging tasks of primary care, as the arm of
clinical medicine with the broadest reach into the community. Despite the obstacles, however, addressing
community needs in an anticipatory rather than reactive manner requires perseverance. Most sector activities include a strong community participation component focusing on integrated service provision and
strengthening linkages with the education sector through school health programmes.
In Iraq, tribal and religious leaders are very powerful. The sector was able to capitalize on these capacities
during advocacy and health education campaigns, such as the promotion of hygienic behaviour during the
cholera outbreak. Two mobile health awareness campaigns were conducted in avian influenza high-risk
areas in Basrah , Kirkuk, Muthanna and Thiqar in 57 Expanded Programme of Immunization (EPI) lowcoverage districts and in Dywania (targeting IDPs). Media has been active in this and in and hygiene
promotion.
Advocacy campaigns were conducted in Baghdad/Rasafa in which 100 community leaders and teachers
were oriented on a health promotion initiative for schools. During IMCI implementation, teachers, women’s support groups, Community Child Care Units (CCCUs) volunteers and community leaders supported
awareness sessions targeting the health of mothers and children. Awareness-raising campaigns targeting
2,844 community leaders, teachers and parent teachers associations were held at the governorate level in
collaboration with DoH and DoE on health and hygiene and the importance of participating in making the
school environment healthy and friendly.
Monitoring and evaluation capacity has been a chronic weakness, relying on proxy measures to estimate
access and use of services. Still, as reported previously, many surveys and assessments have been supported by the sector, while others are under preparation, such as the first national survey on the causes of
avoidable blindness. A second round of the global youth tobacco survey data collection has been completed from 25 schools (students aged 13 to15) while data collection among medical students is ongoing.
A food security survey, once officially released, will provide a good monitoring tool to estimate progress
from the last survey published in 2006. Extensive training has been conducted on monitoring, evaluation
and data analysis. Activities implemented involved representatives from the MoP – COSIT, KRSO and
MOH (Nutrition Research Institute).
Implementation of IMCI is being regularly monitored, with 12 follow-up visits to PHC centers implementing IMCI in Baghdad, Basrah , Karkh and Rasasfa, Nassiryia and Ninevah to assess the performance
of doctors and nurses in providing health care services for children under five.
The sector supported Kirkuk, Ninawa, and Salah Aldin DoHs in investigating and confirming the occurrence of the measles outbreak and identifying its root causes, at-risk population groups and districts and
appropriate responses. A ten-day emergency immunization campaign provided about 250,000 children
aged 6 to 59 months with measles or MMR vaccines in high-risk areas in the three governorates. HNSOT
supported training activities, procurement of 207 vehicles for mobile team transportation and social mobilization, and overtime compensation for 375 immunization teams. The sector also contributed to monitoring and drafting the daily and final progress report of the campaign.
During the conflict period, around 10,000 patients were supplied with disposable medical materials such
as gauze, bandages, cannulas, surgical gloves, sutures, cotton, plastic draw sheets, paraffin compresses
and first aid kits for the Medical City Hospital. Additionally, 4 war wound kits and 900 food baskets were
delivered to Imam Ali and Sadr General and Hakeem Hospitals. Although the main focus of humanitarian
assistance was on tertiary hospitals, PHC in some areas not operating, a quick assessment was conducted
in Sadr City during the conflict and needs and gaps in the closed PHCs were identified and provided.
In Baghdad, facilities received two emergency trauma kits, 5000 blood bags, assorted sutures estimated to
cover 50,000 injured patients, infusion sets for 500 patients, 2,000 food packages and 275,000 litres of
54
water, IV fluids, and 300 tonnes of wheat flour. The sector also supported the referral of 128 cases to different hospitals (Al-Qaem, Al-Rutba, Al-Ramadi and Baghdad) according to the patients’ medical diagnosis, of which 109 were Palestinians from Al-Waleed camp, 10 were Ahwaziz and nine Iranian Kurds.
In Basrah City, six hospitals received disposable medical supplies of gauze, bandages, cannulas, surgical
gloves, cotton, plastic draw sheets, paraffin compresses, disinfectants, thermometers, sphygmomanometers, stethoscopes, stretchers, and Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS). The support provided targeted vulnerable communities and IDPs. Health awareness campaigns were conducted and water hydration tablets and
first aid and hygiene kits distributed, targeting IDPs (+3,000 of who were women). Boxes of food items,
including rice, cooking oil, sugar and biscuits were distributed to
3,000 vulnerable families in Basrah.
Cholera is endemic in Iraq. WHO estimates that up to 600 cases
of cholera occur in Iraq annually. Following the cholera outbreak in 2007, the Ministry of Health, with the support of WHO
established 950 surveillance sites in Iraq. These sites report
every week on acute watery diarrhea, cholera cases and water
quality. Since the confirmation of the first few cholera cases in
Missan, all sites are required to report on daily basis. Based on
those reports, daily updates on the status of the cholera outbreak
are being issued. In addition, the Cholera Preparedness and Response Plan was updated and operationalized and the laboratory and testing capacity of the Ministry enhanced at the governorate and central levels. Cholera operation rooms chaired by the governor have been
established in all governorates and meet weekly. Logistic support has been provided to health mobile
teams to reinforce surveillance, distribute water and hygiene supplies, and support national awareness
campaigns to prevent acute watery diarrhea and cholera.
As a short-term solution, the sector, in close collaboration with the Water and Sanitation Sector, assessed
needs and provided immediate support in terms of ORS 85,000 sachets to affected populations in Missan,
Babel, Baghdad and Wasit DoHs, to treat up to 15,000 moderate cases. 2,110,000 water purification
tables were distributed in affected areas of, Babel, Basrah and Missan. A month’s worth of water purification tablets and jerry cans were distributed to 2750 families. The sector also supported water tanking in
high-risk districts in Anbar, Babel, Baghdad, Basrah (Abu Al-khasib) and Missan, at a rate of 200,000
litres per day (a one to two month supply), and supported the DoH to undertake a hygiene promotion
campaign distributing Information, Education and communication (IEC) material in the same community.
In Fallujah, 700 child hygiene kits, 1,800 adult hygiene kits and 1,210 family water kits (jerry cans, bucket with lid, water purification tablets, soap) were distributed.
As a medium-term solution, the Water and Sanitation Sector, which supported HNSOT efforts to contain
the outbreak, supported the provision of 53 communal water tanks with a capacity of 365,000 litres
(enough for 18,250 people) in high-risk areas in Babel, and six 5,000-litre capacity tanks in Missan
(enough for 250 people) to increase safe water storage capacity at the community level. An additional 20
tanks (10,000 litre capacity) are being installed in Babel, and water-testing equipment is being distributed.

II.
Operating Context during the Reporting Period
The fragile security situation and recent government law enforcement operations have called for humanitarian intervention. The limited resources of the sector have been unable to cover all emergency needs,
particularly in Emergency Response Fund (ERF). Curfews and restricted operating hours delay progress
of rehabilitation works. However, with local personnel and contractors employed in the rehabilitation
efforts, the sector has been helping to generate employment opportunities and promote peace-building in
the process.
The political structure constrains effective delivery. With senior public sector positions allocated primarily among political lines, the opportunity for qualified technical sector cadres to lead sector development
narrows. This leads to decisions that do not necessarily benefit the sector. Much effort was required to
ensure and promote essential shelter needs and improvement plans, resulting in project delays. The decision-making process at counterpart ministries continues to be highly centralized, with practically all decision-making authority vested only in top management.
Housing remains at the far bottom of donor priorities, despite its potential for generating employment,
contributing to economic growth and providing a catalyst for private sector participation. The housing
sector in Iraq requires assistance in building institutions that are capable of establishing and operating a
balanced housing market that protects the housing rights of the poor.
There are opportunities to invest in the young generation by enhancing their skills as future leaders and
advocates of sector reforms. Improving housing delivery will need the leadership of qualified young
people who are well trained and capable of introducing and implementing new ideas.
56
III.
Implementation Constraints and Challenges during the Reporting Period
Building a cadre of change agents in the housing sector who are able to master sector reforms is still a
major challenge. Capacity development and policy work, which require direct engagement with counterparts, remained constrained by limited access to remote areas. In delivering services, the supply of
equipment has been affected by difficulties in border crossing and in obtaining custom clearances from
Iraqi authorities. The implementation of various rehabilitation works has been delayed by security considerations.
Responding to humanitarian shelter needs requires coordinated efforts of all actors, especially those controlling available space. Poor information-sharing continued to restrict these efforts. A shortage of building materials in the local market increased the cost of projects with the high cost of imports. Market prices of both labour and materials have been extremely volatile, affecting the cost and scope of the rehabilitation and construction works. Land allocation and planning for effective housing development remains a
constraint to effective delivery. This has an impact on private sector access and on project delivery. The
centralized system of land allocation contrasts with the ideal of decentralization.
NGO active involvement and knowledge-sharing remain a challenge.
IV.
Coverage and Counterparts
The primary sector partners at the national level are the Ministry
of Construction and Housing (MoCH), MoMPW, MoHESR (FTE
and COSIT) and the Ministry of Displacement and Migration
(MoDM). Those are the direct ministries and organizations that
are responsible for housing, land and infrastructure, housing information and sheltering IDPs/returnees and other vulnerable
groups.
The Housing and Shelter Sector members support local NGOs
who are active in the field in monitoring shelter needs and delivering emergency shelter responses (rehabilitation, extension or
House rehabilitation in Mosul
providing NFIs and shelter kits). International suppliers assist in
procuring technical equipment, tools and instruments.
Partnership with the MoPDC has helped to bring COSIT effectively on board for the development of the
Housing Information System. Collaboration with ESCWA brings their building materials and construction sector experience to Iraq.
Cooperation with the Netherlands-based Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies, which has
worldwide experience in establishing training centres, helps in the establishment of the Training and
Knowledge Centre for the MoCH in Iraq. Partnership with members of the global Humanitarian Shelter
Cluster may help develop an emergency shelter strategy for Iraq and prepare manuals to train Iraqis on
locally adapted shelter planning that meets international standards.
For MoDM, partnership with UNHCR/IOM has improved monitoring and mapping of areas with high
concentrations of IDPs/returnees in displacement living in inadequate shelter. MoDM is now well placed
to integrate shelter into their ongoing protection activities, including legal assistance to recover lost property (to be carried out through the UNHCR network of Protection and Assistance Centres).
The basic approach for selecting beneficiaries is as follows:
• The most vulnerable families are selected based on established vulnerability criteria and provided
with direct assistance in rehabilitating their houses. According to the criteria, households headed by
57
women are given top priority. The approach also applies to the rehabilitation of orphanages, orphans
being one of the most vulnerable groups in any society.
•
UNHCR and IOM nationwide monitoring of the newly displaced (post-Samarra) and those previously
displaced included particular questions relating to the housing situation of IDPs. This monitoring revealed that shelter is priority number one, even in areas where IDPs are currently able to rent. UNHABITAT field teams carried out local assessments and a housing market study, while NGOs conducted targeted surveys and assessments. Vulnerability and needs assessments conducted within the
framework of the UNCT Joint Priority Action Plan (JPAP) and the UN-HABITAT Housing Market
Study was also taken into account.
•
The governorates targeted are among the most affected by new inflows of IDPs/returnees.
IDPs/returnees in those governorates require shelter interventions including new low-cost housing
units with suitable arrangements to ensure security for an appropriate period of time. Several houses
are in need of improved water supply and sanitation facilities.
•
Promoting the self-help method for housing construction builds skills and creates employment opportunities.
•
Improving housing delivery requires work at both national and provincial levels. Policy development
efforts are nationwide. Pilot interventions to improve housing through decentralized strategies focused on three provinces (Babylon, Najaf and Erbil), all of which have already developed strategies
of their own.
•
Humanitarian shelter assistance responds to emergency needs as they occur nationwide, within the
limits of available funding.
Rehabilitation/construction works covered the Governorates of Baghdad, Basrah , Babylon, Erbil, Najaf,
Samawa (Muthanna), Thi-Qar and Wasit. Public reforms, technical advice and capacity development
were supported at the national level and in Erbil, Hilla and Najaf.

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results
Outcome 1 - The sector has progressed in laying the groundwork for improving the housing delivery system by the end of 2010, assuming resource availability. The sector has worked towards developing sustainable capacities within the sector to improve housing delivery. A training centre has been established
with local trainers and updated training materials to enhance broad participation in decentralized policy
development and implementation. Improving access to affordable loans and micro-finance was critical to
improved delivery. Families supported with housing finance were able to build homes and rehabilitate
damaged ones, increasing housing capacity. The sector supported governorates in its efforts to strengthen
local housing capacities and decentralize housing planning and has assisted three governorates (Babylon,
Erbil and Najaf) to develop their own housing strategies and housing committees. Other governorates are
expected to follow a similar approach. Within the context of Iraq and the peculiar situation of displacement, needs are dynamic and change according to the movement of population, requiring continuous
monitoring of movements and shelter needs. A range of emergency shelter solutions suitable for Iraq have
been identified in different provinces. The sector has been monitoring shelter conditions and needs of
IDPs and returnees.
Output 1.1: UN HABITAT has conducted a set of consultations with the lead MoCH and other relevant
ministries to increase awareness of housing reforms and assess necessary legal and institutional changes.
A housing policy objective has been agreed upon, although detailed policy formulation did not begin during the reporting period.
UNHCR, IOM and their implementing partners have contributed towards the National Policy on Internal
Displacement in the area of housing for displaced populations and suggested an action plan for addressing
their temporary shelter needs. This work will be integrated with the overall national housing policy. The
59
national housing policy is expected to provide guidelines
and directions for decentralization in housing development.
Output 1.2: During the reporting period the Governorates of Babylon, Erbil and Najaf were supported by UN
HABITAT to develop their housing strategies through a
consultative process.
Output 1.3: UNDP and UN HABITAT are working to
Erbil Governorate Housing Strategy discussion
operationalise the Erbil housing strategy and implement
one of its suggested pilots that focus on the improvement
of slums. Funding shortages have prevented similar pilot programmes to support slum improvement and
implementation of housing strategies of Hillah.
Consultations with all key stakeholders such as the relevant ministries and local authorities, NGOs, CBOs
interested in the shelter sector, academia, the commercial private sector and community groups on housing strategies in Erbil, Hillah and Najaf have resulted in better local understanding of housing problems.
Output 1.4: CHF and the Iraq housing funds have been active in developing various loan types. CHF
disbursed during the reporting period 961 loans with value of $2,549,910, 324 loans of which were
awarded to women (total value $772,570). Some 727 loans were fully repaid during the reporting period.
The Iraqi Housing Fund has increased its loan ceilings to government employees and retiring persons, and
has now cumulatively disbursed more than 10,000 loans worth around $120 million. With UN HABITAT
and IFC support, assessment of future loan diversification has shown great potential for the housing fund
to lead on bridging the affordability gap in the Iraqi housing market.
Output 1.5: UN HABITAT and the Dutch Institute of Housing and Urban Development Studies trained
23 master trainers in three major areas (housing policy and strategy, building materials and construction
and Geographic Information System (GIS) for real estate development). A further eight national training
courses are planned during the next reporting period at the MoCH Training and Knowledge Centre, and
will be expanded to other cities as well.
UNHCR and IOM are continuously training local NGOs on emergency shelter needs assessment, nonfood item (NFI) distributions and monitoring.
The sector capacity development approach is to link the process of sector reform with the formulation and
implementation of related policy and strategies. This helps in strengthening the capacities of stakeholders
to effectively participate in the reform process and sustain progress in the long term.
Outcome 2: The sector outcome team has supported vulnerable groups including IDPs and returnees with
shelter kits and non-food items to alleviate their immediate suffering. During the reporting period, around
35,000 families, or almost 66 percent of the 2008 target, received non-food items and shelter kits. The
host community and families living in distressed housing conditions were supported with house rehabilitation (reaching 10 percent of the 2008 target).
Outcome 2.1: UN-HABITAT is working with local authorities to develop a replicable model for improving the living conditions of Iraqi slum dwellers. It completed rehabilitation of 65 houses in Hay AlMaghreb-Baghdad during the current reporting period, benefiting about 455 people. In Samawa, the rehabilitation of the sewage storm water networks in two neighborhoods further improved living conditions.
One public hospital, one youth centre were rehabilitated and one primary health centre was constructed.
In recent emergencies in Sadr City and Mosul, the sector coordinated efforts to ensure a quick response.
IOM, in partnership with the Italian Consortium, distributed 481 NFIs to families (including some headed
60
by women) who were forced to leave their houses in Sadr City. UNHCR with NGO members (Islamic
Relief, the Italian Consortium, Mercy Hand) rehabilitated 600 housing units in Baghdad, including Sadr
City. UNHCR has assisted a local community in Sadr City to recover its main economic centre by rehabilitating 15 commercial units in Jamila Market. In Mosul, UNHCR has rehabilitated 285 housing units
with shelter kits. In Basrah , UNHCR rehabilitated 243 houses and eight shops. IoM warehouses across
the country are engaged in distributions and replenishment of NFIs to maintain a higher level of emergency preparedness.
IOM and its NGO partners are continuing distribution of NFIs to IDPs in Anbar, Mosul, Missan, Najaf
and Thi Qar, and covering 6050 families. UNHCR and NGO members (ACTED, Danish Relief, Islamic
Relief, Mercy Hand and Norwegian Relief) distributed shelter kits to IDP families living with host communities in poor housing conditions, contributing to improvements in their living standards.
Output 2.2: UNHCR, IOM, UN HABITAT and the World Bank have engaged the GoI on property rights
issues. There is a need to address the rights of returnees, IDPs and squatters equally. There is also growing attention to the property rights and security issues of vulnerable groups. Recent decrees that encouraged forced eviction were blocked by Parliament, and measures undertaken to ensure access of returnees
to their property and provide alternative solutions to those facing legal eviction. A media campaign has
been effective in drawing attention to housing sector rights and issues.
Outcome 2.3: A comprehensive database to support monitoring IDP needs has been created. IOM monitoring partners have assessed shelter conditions of IDPs in all 18 governorates with geo-referenced information that has been widely published. UN-HABITAT, with its partners, the MoCH and COSIT, are assessing overall housing quantity, quality and needs. Housing indicators are now included in the next census and information will be collected and analyzed accordingly.

Operating Context during the Reporting Period
A number of security operations across the country have contributed to the overall improvement in national security. Of the 13 food security projects, only three were negatively affected by the security situation. However, in general, security conditions in Iraq hinder on-site project management.
The sudden deterioration of the security situation, and the anticipated military operations in Ninewa governorate since the beginning of the year, has impeded the start of a micro-industry project that was approved in early 2008. Therefore, due to time limitations, it was agreed by FAO, UNIDO, GoI-ISRB and
the UNDG to shift the location of the project to Anbar Governorate instead of Ninewa.
Another project, ‘Rebuilding Food Safety and Food Processing Industry Capacity’, was also affected by
the security situation in Ninewa governorate. FAO and MoA decided to abandon construction of the border veterinary point in Rabiaa due to denial of access by the military forces.
62
Installation of pumps under a project to rehabilitate pumping stations in Diyala, Madali Governorate, was
delayed for a month following threats on the lives of the installation contractors towards the end of last
year. In another incident that took place during the reporting period, there was a three-day work delay of
work after gunfire was witnessed at the site. No injury or damage was caused.
III.
Implementation Constraints and Challenges during the Reporting Period
Delays were experienced in receiving information from remote
field sites. Because international staff cannot be on-site and are
obliged to run project implementations remotely from Amman,
operations were subjected to various risks that led to eventual
delays. Several trainings were postponed because of delayed
nominations by government counterparts, in addition to other
administrative and logistical issues, such as late passport delivery
and issuance of visas.
Some projects took on additional activities in response to requests from counterparts and arising needs. Those activities and
the resulting additional contracts, trainings, and so on, consumed additional time and resources and
caused delays in project closures.
IV.
Coverage and Counterparts
The primary partners are the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), Ministry of Water and Resources (MoWR),
Ministry of Industry (MoI), MoPDC, Ministry of Trade (MoT) and MoLSA. Other partners include Colleges of Agriculture, COSIT, research institutes, and the local Governor’s Council, in addition to local
contractors.

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results
The agriculture projects have achieved the following outputs for the reporting period:
Towards the realization of Outcome 1, the sector has completed a pumping station asset database covering 181 pumping stations. The database is now being used to establish priorities for rehabilitation and for
implementing a geographic information system network. At the same time, spare parts have been pro64
cured and installations completed for six pumping stations, irrigating
an area of 409,000 donomes and benefiting 43,000 beneficiaries in
terms of water availability for irrigation and consumption and improvement of the drainage reduction of the salinity of agricultural
cropping areas.
Under Outcome 2, a total of 28 training courses were conducted for
about 1,100 trainees, who are poor and marginalized persons residing
in urban and rural areas, on non-food professions including agrorepair, welding, carpentry, sewing, and carpet production, while
1,509 vulnerable beneficiaries were trained on food-related professions including bee-keeping, dairy production, fruit and vegetable processing, burgul processing, and olive processing.
Outcome 3 was addressed by drafting a national seed policy and a conducting legislative review. The sector provided technical assistance to MoA in formulating the seed
policy, which will act as a regulatory framework for promoting the availability and
use of high-quality seeds of adapted varieties as the foundation of a sustainable seed
industry.
The Food Assistance Outcome 2 was addressed through the establishment of a postfood distribution monitoring system and the design of an associated database, which
is already being implemented in all the 18 governorates in Iraq. Additionally, the sector conducted monitoring and evaluation training sessions (training of trainers) for 18
people from COSIT and the Kurdistan Regional Statistics Office on methods of data
collection, monitoring, evaluation, reporting systems and performance reviews.

Operating Context during the Reporting Period
The security situation in Iraq has shown some improvement during the reporting period, even though the
civilian death toll per month is still in the hundreds. The period was characterized by security operations
mounted by the GoI to gain control of areas under opposition groups starting in Basrah, then Sadr City,
followed by Missan, Mosul and Diyala. While the security gains have made the GoI politically stronger
and more confident, the security operations created humanitarian situations, particularly in Basrah and in
Sadr City, where the protection of civilians was severely compromised. There were significant civilian
causalities. Access to basic services, such as water and heath care services, became a major problem, and
there were reports of occupation of civilian installations such as schools and hospitals, further curtailing
access to these essential services. The security operations also caused the postponement of the national
examinations, which in turn caused stress for parents and students alike. Numerous checkpoints and indiscriminate shooting largely restricted civilian population movement. House-to-house searches resulted in
arrests and detainment of civilians, often with no arrest warrant or respect for due process. While the sector has started making progress in responding to some protection risks effectively, the increasing reports
of the use of children and women as suicide bombers are disturbing. The sector is working on ways to
address these issues.
By mid 2008, an estimated 2.7 million people were internally displaced, 1.5 million having fled their
homes after February 2006. The vast majority of these ‘new’ IDPs fled from the central and southern governorates due to ongoing violence, threats on their lives or because they had been physically forced from
their homes. Access to income or employment is consistently mentioned as a priority for IDPs in Iraq, in
addition to food and shelter. The majority of IDPs consider the public distribution system (PDS) their
66
main source of food; however, not all IDPs have access to PDS because of delays in transferring ration
cards or because they are not eligible to register in their area of displacement. For IDPs, access to food is
also hindered by a lack of income and security, impeding access to markets for both suppliers and customers. Road and neighbourhood closures, checkpoints, curfews and military attacks also hinder access to
markets. This situation is particularly dire for IDPs belonging to ethnic or religious minorities, who have
even more limited access. Rising costs of fuel, rent, and food and high levels of unemployment are causing deteriorating conditions for IDPs (and host communities) throughout the country. Attaining employment is even more difficult for women and widows, especially in increasingly conservative areas. Over
the past few months, humanitarian organizations have seen threats of evictions of IDPs living in public
buildings or in illegally erected buildings on public land. So far, however, only small-scale evictions have
taken place.
The drought, which is currently affecting six northern governorates, may cause additional protection risks,
such as migration and resettlement by farmers in search of pasture for their cattle. There may also be increased conflicts between water users as well as deepening poverty and unemployment. The sector will
have to work with communities in the affected governorates to mitigate some of those risks.
It is estimated that by the middle of 2008, 110,000 individuals had returned home, albeit to less than ideal
conditions. Others returned only to be internally displaced once more because of loss of property, insecurity (including mines) and/or changes in the ethnic or religious composition of return areas.
III.
Implementation Constraints and Challenges during the Reporting Period
Collection of rapid and accurate information proved difficult during the early stages of the security operations, particularly in Basrah, Mosul and Sadr City. However, gradually the Protection Sector, in coordination with other sectors was able to organize the collection and verification of information on the civilian
situation during security operations.
Rapid and effective response to protection situations of civilians during emergencies has been a challenge, largely due to insufficiently developed capacities at governorate level and within communities to
respond rapidly to onset emergencies.
The low implementation level of 2008 sector-planned activities resulted from insufficient funding that
further hindered progress. Resource mobilization for the implementation of sector projects remained a
challenge and other than ITF, bilateral and CAP contributions, the sector remains low on funds.
Insecurity and instability in some parts of the country, protracted discussions with government ministries
on the initiation and implementation of projects, postponement of meetings and workshops within Iraq
and the lengthy process of nominating participants for training events have also caused delays in project
implementation.
IV.
Coverage and Counterparts
The primary recipients of support from the Protection Sector include key Iraqi authorities and institutions
such as the MoDM, MoEn, the High Judicial Council, Human Rights, MoI, MoLSA, National Mine Action Authority and 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. Protection services were provided to vulnerable populations in the different governorates. Between the UN agencies, inter-governmental organizations such as IOM and ICRC, the international and
national NGOs, the sector has worked and continues to work in all governorates. The selection of areas in
the different governorates was based on the level vulnerability as well as on security and protection
threats.

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results
While modest results were achieved in relation to Outputs 1.1, 1.2, 1.6 and 1.9, the sector has been more
successful relating to Outputs 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.7 and 1.8.
Significant progress has been achieved during the reporting in bringing the long discussions on the draft
National Policy on Internal Displacement to a close. In May 2008, the Council of Ministers adopted the
National Policy in principle with the request to further revise it to ensure that the policy adequately re68
flects Iraqi context. The sector provided technical support to the revision of the National Policy on Internal Displacement as well as on the development of mechanisms for the implementation of the policy. Further, MoDM was assisted in their preparatory activities for the holding of the National Conference in July
2008. While a lengthy process, it enhanced the authorities’ preparedness to tackle the issue of displacement, but also helped to crystallize needs in the areas of protection and assistance.
The Draft Basic Law, the statute for the MoDM, has been submitted for adoption to Parliament. The sector had follow-up meetings with the Parliamentarian IDP Committee to share its observations and recommendations. The first reading of the draft law took place in June 2008.
During the initial stages of the security operations, the Protection Sector experienced difficulties in responding adequately and effectively to the protection risks faced by civilians where clear and credible information was not readily available. However, within a very short time, the sector was able to organize
systems for collecting rapid information on the protection of civilians which was fed to the Office of the
DSRSG, who then used the information to advocate with the Coalition Forces and the Iraqi Security
Forces to allow humanitarian assistance to reach civilian populations caught up in the conflict. The rapid
system of collecting information and feeding it into the DSRSG office was facilitated by the permanent
presence in Baghdad of the Policy Group Protection Representative.
To increase awareness on human rights and international law, the
sector was able to provide one weeks’ initial training to strategically selected government counterparts on the Human RightsBased Approach to Programming (HRBAP). The 27 participants
drawn from the human rights units of various ministries acquired
the knowledge and skills to advocate for use of HRBAP in developing programmes within their ministries. In addition, 16
MoDM staff from various offices underwent a ToT on human
rights and international humanitarian law, to ensure the mainstreaming of human rights in Ministry work. In all, a total of 57
events (29 workshops, six trainings, 22 information campaigns)
How can we improve our rights?
SGBV team meeting / @ UNHCR partner
were organised by different Protection and Assistance Centres
(PACs) to raise awareness of the needs of vulnerable groups.
The events covered gender equality, child protection, SGBV, election, displacement issues, human rights
as well as sensitization on elections.
The sector also supported authorities and NGOs through targeted capacity development. For example, 28
lawyers (seven of them women) have acquired knowledge and skills on human rights standards, criminal
justice and detainees’ rights. NGO partners focused on 540 civil society actors, CSO members, academics
and university teachers to enhance their capacities in non-violence and peace building, conflict transformation, mediation and facilitation. The replication of the Governorate Emergency Cell (GEC) was initiated in the Governorates of Dahuk, Erbil and Sulaymaniyah (holding six workshops as well as locallevel consultations to identify gaps, needs and perceptions of how authorities respond to IDP issues). The
handling of the latest emergencies such as in Missan indicates that GECs, provided with operational support last year, are getting better at handling preparing and responding to emergencies. Technical assistance was further provided to MoDM Media Office, Information Department and branch offices in terms
of communications and media relations, registration, monitoring and data management, the latter through
on-the-job training leading to regular, comprehensive reports issued by MoDM on IDPs and returnees.
Through the Iraqi-wide network of PACs/Mobile Teams, the legal needs of 11,825 (of whom 40 percent
were women) IDPs, returnees, refugees/asylum-seekers and vulnerable community members were met.
Services offered included registration as an IDP or social welfare recipient, documentation and sexual and
gender-based violence. Furthermore, the PAC network solved 8,521 cases in addition to some 3,055
quick protection queries.
69
20 male and 15 female participants from Ministry of Human Rights acquired knowledge and skills in
monitoring and documenting human rights violations through trainings provided by the sector. Additionally, protection monitoring at community level was conducted in 201 locations and assisted in the analysis of compelling protection needs, in the identification of potential projects and in the facilitation of individual access to services. Another sector partner continued its regular IDP and returnee monitoring assistance, leading to the identification of priority needs and emergency assistance in 453 locations, with information distributed through 21 in-depth needs assessment reports. In total, 200 new project recommendations for rapid assistance were entered into a central database.
Efforts continued towards expanding humanitarian space. An initial ad-hoc humanitarian access report
was produced in April 2008 concentrating on some selected constraints. Consultations continue with relevant stakeholders including UN agencies, UNAMI and NGOs aiming to develop a mechanism for monitoring and reporting on access by the end of 2008. In addition, through a consultative process among UN
agencies, SOTs and NGOs, the 2004 guidelines for civil military interaction in Iraq have been updated.
Between January and June, 189 social workers (90 men and 99 women) from MoLSA Baghdad and KRG
acquired knowledge and skills in protection services for at-risk boys and girls, to prevent and respond to
gender- based violence in communities. During the same period, 978 women in two governorates (Muthanna and Wasit) and provided with training to help them better protect themselves against gender-based
violence. Further, 10 women received a ToT to equip them to assist disadvantaged women. 655 teachers
(304 men and 351 women) from 35 schools in Baghdad, Basrah , Erbil, Missan and Thi-Qar have been
provided with psychosocial helping skills to provide care and support to children with psychosocial needs
in the school setting. Suitable 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 6.77 million square meters of contaminated land made safe for use by local
communities in Basrah. The operationalization of the third Information Management Information System
for Mine Action (IMSMA) centre in Basrah is still in
process, and the centres will provide maps and information on the contamination situation to the local population,
NGOs and Government.
Mine risk education was provided to 75,000 school children (43,000 boys and 32,000 girls) and 52,000 community
members (37,000 men and 15,000 women) in Basrah,
Missan and Thi Qar.
To enhance protection for refugees in Iraq, 10,558 Palestinians in Baghdad have now been successfully registered
Understanding the dangers of mines / @ UNICEF partner
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. 83 cases (347 individuals) have been submitted for resettlement as of 30 June. The breakdown is: 39 cases (166 individuals) of Palestinians; 42 cases (179 individuals) of Iranians and two Somali
individuals.

Operating Context during the Reporting Period
During the reporting period Iraq went through a traumatic period of political uncertainty related to developing the commitment of sectarian political groups to function as part of a cohesive national framework
of political institutions and processes. This transition process was mirrored in the security context by the
attempt of the GoI, through its military and police forces, to take increasing control over some governorates, and key districts of Baghdad. The most reported events were the military actions by the GoI in Basrah and Sadr City to bring official GoI control over the security of these areas by conducting military
offensives against what they termed organized crime under the protection of sectarian militias. This
process achieved the intended result of expanding the role of the GoI in the affected areas. The effect of
those campaigns, which took place during the reporting period, was to effectively interrupt reconciliation
72
and dialogue in the affected areas, and to also divert political efforts toward military and security efforts
of the GoI, which the GoI asserted, was a necessary precondition to political, economic and social development. These campaigns had important humanitarian consequences, thus requiring communities, GoI
and international assistance to divert its attention from development objectives to humanitarian responses.
Considerable dialogue and diplomacy took place to resolve contentious border issues in Kirkuk, and to
enable the passage of an elections law that would support provincial elections. During the reporting period, there was little progress toward the planning and implementation of basic structural reforms, such as
civil service reform. However, the GoI did continue to implement some of the principles of fiscal decentralization by transferring resources for capital expenditure to governorates. Unfortunately, the governorates demonstrated uneven and generally low capacity to plan and execute capital projects.
Reports of human rights abuses continued with acts of violence against civilians and targeted violence
against government employees, particularly police forces and recruits. Progress toward increased due
process in the criminal courts was insignificant, and prison populations continued to suffer overcrowding
and an uncertain judicial process, despite some progress in the management of prisons for women and
juveniles. This was aggravated by the pressures of the security situation and the active military campaigns in key governorates.
At the same time, in some governorates the improvement of security attributed to local efforts in coordination with the GoI was in evidence. Tensions on the border with Turkey diverted attention from development objectives and even from transition objectives, such as repatriation and reintegration. In summary, the reporting period was characterized by insecurity, uncertainty and transition, with some analysts
forecasting success of the GoI in gaining control over security, and asserting that the military campaigns
would reduce violence against civilians. While this forecast turned out to be substantially true, it was not
yet in full evidence during the reporting period. The political composition of the GoI and a certain lack of
programmatic cohesion continued to characterize the executive branch of government. The judiciary continued to try to keep the courts and judicial processes functioning under very severe security constraints
and danger – particularly to judges, who continued to be targets of violence. Journalists also remained
targets of violence.
III.
Implementation Constraints and Challenges during the Reporting Period
During the reporting period, the application of severe rules for UN security in Iraq continued to constrain
implementation of programmes and projects, with difficulty in fielding international staff and experts.
The unpredictability of political developments constrained planning and implementation of activities for
the GoI counterparts, and particularly for the Council of Representatives. Capacity development was
hampered by the inability to deploy experts for extended periods of assistance, and the inability to conduct training programmes inside Iraq. Most training was done in the form of short workshops outside of
Iraq or study tours, limiting the number of participants and limiting the integration of capacity building
into the normal operations of the counterpart institutions. Nevertheless, the GoI became increasingly demanding that the UN should increase its presence in Iraq and should increase its efforts to develop institutional and human resource capacity. No new funding was provided by the UNDG Iraqi Trust Fund during the reporting period, as the processing of new proposals was suspended throughout most of the reporting period (until May 2008).
IV.
Coverage and Counterparts
The primary partners or recipients of support from the Governance SOT are the GoI at the national level
and the Kurdistan regional government. Activities were conducted in support of communities in Hillah
and the Marshlands and Suleymaniah under the Local Area Development Programme (LADP). Iraq-wide
support to NGOs continued, through partnerships with the NGO Coordination Committee in Iraq (NCCI)
and its member organizations, both for NGO legal frameworks and policy in support of civil society and
73
to select NGOs involved in work on constitutional review. Among the most prominent NGO partners of
the Governance Sector are: NCCI, Aswat al-Iraq, the Iraqi Bar Association, Amman Centre for Human
Rights (ACHRS), Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), Community Information Centre, ACCORD (South Africa), Reuters/Thomson Foundation, Al Amal Foundation, EIN Network, Shams Network for Election

c. Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results
Progress is being made slowly toward the desired
outcomes of the Governance Sector. The armed
conflict in key governorates, especially Basrah ,
and in Baghdad, especially Sadr City, affected the
ability of the government to focus on development
objectives and of the people to pursue even basic
livelihoods. UN agencies reverted to humanitarian assistance in their delivery, and humanitarian
issues became the priority of the dialogue with
government in most cases. Nevertheless, the evolution of the security issues, through increased engagement by national government authorities, may
increase the influence that the government has
over security and governance throughout Iraq. If this occurs, there will be new opportunities to advance
the governance agenda in the outcome areas proposed by the UN Assistance Strategy.
The draft electoral law was discussed by the Council of Representatives, but no agreement was reached
nor law enacted during the reporting period. IHEC preparations for provincial elections were slow, but
with UN support, IHEC and the CMC made progress toward developing a public information strategy
and to strengthen civic education and improve
press coverage (access to fair information by the
public, higher standards of ethics by media operators, more regularized channels of information from IHEC to the media and to the public).
Progress was made by NGOs and contractors to
support capacity building of national election
observers, through a network of national NGOs
under the coordination of the Friedrich Ebert
Stiftung and the Amman Centre for Human
Rights. Proposed activities to strengthen the
76
long-term institutional capacity of IHEC were suspended due to the pressures of IHEC to prepare for
imminent provincial elections, mandated to take place by 1 October 2008.
The Constitutional Review Committee developed its capacity through knowledge-based support provided on a continuous basis, and equipment was delivered to the Council of Representatives (COR) and
the State Ministry for Council of Representative Affairs (CRC) to support work on the constitutional review. CRC and COR members increased their understanding of conflict resolution, power sharing, consensus building, management of political transition and role of grass root movements, through a study
tour to Northern Ireland.
Peace-building, conflict management and transformation, conflict resolution, gender and respect for human rights were advanced through the ‘Right to Live in Safety’ (RLS) campaign in Baghdad. Some 46
academics participated in two week-long workshops and 49 CSOs participated in three workshops.
There are 150 campaigns ongoing with festivals and other events supervised by academics and CSOs
under the RLS theme. Gender balance has been ensured in all these activities. Two key groups of Iraqi
business leaders and NGOs deepened their knowledge of reconciliation experiences of South Africa,
enabling them to develop new strategies for reconciliation in Iraq. UNDP supported two study visits to
South Africa (July 2008 for business leaders; August 2008 for NGOs). A third visit is planned for political leaders in late 2008.
A declaration of principles on the legal framework for NGOs in Iraq was adopted and progress toward
finalization of an NGO law was made through a roundtable in Erbil bringing together representatives of
civil society, COR and GoI. Recommendations on the Constitutional review were consolidated and presented to the Iraqi public and authorities by Iraqi CSOs, through the ITF-funded National Reconciliation
Grant.
A human rights report covering 2007 was delivered by the UNAMI Human Rights Office, with strong
recommendations that led to continued dialogue with the GoI over institutional compliance with human
rights standards. Project formulation was concluded on UN support to the judiciary, with EC partnership
and funding of approximately Euro 14 million. Activities are due to begin in the next reporting period.
The Ministry of Human Rights showed leadership in appearing in the press on human rights issues, conducting prison inspections, and keeping the human rights agenda visible during GoI events, supported by
the UN.
The GoI ratified the UN
Convention
against Corruption (UNCAC) on 17
March 2008,
following the
first international conference on anticorruption,
High Level Meeting on Governance and Economic Reform co-sponsored by UNDP/OECD following
held in Baghthe GoI endorsement of the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness
dad in March
2008. Support
for compliance with the UN-CAC started in June 2008. The Board of Supreme Audit continued to exhibit its independent capacity to audit and discover corruption, supported by the UN. The BSA and Commission on Integrity both produced comprehensive strategic plans for their mandates and institutions;
these plans were instrumental in highlighting the GoI intent to address corruption. The GoI produced the
77
first annual report of the International Compact with Iraq, reporting that over 80 percent of its annual
targets were achieved. The GoI signed on to the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness on 2 May 2008.
Extensive technical meetings and preparations for the Paris Declaration were supported by the UN together with OECD. Implementation for compliance with the principles of the Paris Declaration will be
done in the framework of the ICI.
The law governing governorates not organized into regions (Provincial Powers Law) was enacted on 19
March 2008, paving the way for the implementation of the constitutional provisions of decentralized service delivery. Although discussions continued on the civil service law, no law was enacted and the public payroll continued to increase, reaching an estimated 2.4 million government employees (as compared
with an estimated 1.2 million in 2003).
A review of the 2007 budget process was done jointly by the Council of Representatives Finance Committee, the Ministries of Finance and Planning and the Board of Supreme Audit in April 2008, supported
by the UN. All technical presentations were made by Iraqi counterparts and lessons were analyzed for
their application to the 2008 budget process. A policy framework to support public-private partnerships
for investment and service delivery was discussed in a high-level meeting held in Istanbul in May 2008
jointly by representatives of GoI and the private sector, especially private bankers. No legislation is yet
available.
The State Ministry of Council of Representatives increased its capacity through the conduct of an institutional assessment, the receipt of learning resources and staff development supported by the UN. Preparations were made for creation of a Local Government Association supported by MoMPW in consultation with local stakeholders, through completion of a situation analysis and drafting of terms of reference
to train 75 urban planners and 65 economists and engineers of the ministry working at the governorate
level.
Through the multi-agency Local Area Development Project (LADP), a diagnostic study of the target project areas was produced. Progress was made on elaborating district profiles for both Sharazour (new
Halabcha) and Sayed Sadek and the local area planning process was launched. Stakeholders were identified and a baseline study conducted in Hillah and the Marshlands, following a similar exercise in Sulaymaniyah. A business survey of 900 entrepreneurs was conducted in the three target areas, and a small
business loans fund was designed with a participatory methodology. Construction began on the Business
Information and Development Centre in Sulaymaniyah, within the Chamber of Commerce, and capacities of key local organisations in Sulaymaniyah were developed to promote economic empowerment of
women in Iraq, through a Training of Trainers session held in Amman.
The Governance Sector formulated a strategy, included in the UN Assistance Strategy that was well received by key GoI counterparts and multinational assistance partners, including NATO (Friends of Iraq
Meeting, 18 June 2008). Mobilization of resources toward achievement of the strategy was constrained by
delays in availability of the Iraqi Trust Fund sources, with reopening of the application process coming
only at the end of May, and expected delays as the sectors became familiar with new guidelines. The
adoption of the new sectors and renewed emphasis on results-based management and joint programming
will contribute significantly to achievement of the goals of the UN in Iraq. However, the adjustments
were being made largely during the reporting period. These adjustments in the UN assistance strategy
and modalities of assistance, together with the intensive military actions in many governorates, interrupted progress toward structural governance objectives, such as public sector reform. Nevertheless, the
latter is seen as a necessary phase toward GoI consolidation of authority throughout Iraq.

through capacity building and empowerment of communities. NCCI has
selected, supported, trained and is monitoring selected civil society members (49 CSOs) and academics (25). These trained academics and civil
society members raise awareness and empower their communities to develop peaceful means of coexistence (129 activities and events organised).
The Right to Live in Safety Campaign raises awareness of communities,
students, NGO staff, teachers, professors on human right principles and
encourages peace in Iraq. In addition, through the implementation of the
Campaign, crucial linkages are being established between Iraqis of different social origin, professions, ethnic backgrounds, and beliefs.

Operating Context during the Reporting Period
Despite consistent economic growth, relatively contained inflation and a positive fiscal balance, the Iraqi
economy has not stimulated employment or alleviated widespread poverty. As reported by COSIT in its
2007 Labour Force Survey, half of the workforce in Iraq is severely affected by an underperforming labour market, with unemployment and underemployment respectively at 17 and 30 percent of the workforce. Such an employment deficit obviously has serious consequences for the overall living standards of
the population, over 55 percent of which faces serious economic hardship, according to the Unmet Basic
Needs Survey (COSIT/UNDP 2007). Pre-existing jobs in the productive sector, controlled by the former
state institutions, have largely vanished, and new employment opportunities in the non-state economy are
yet to emerge.
The Iraqi economy remains heavily reliant on oil exports and while budget revenues from oil output continue to increase, non-natural resource income growth remains limited, making the Iraqi economy highly
susceptible to fluctuations in oil production, price and volume on the international market. The appreciation of the Iraqi dinar as a response to growing net income flows from oil exports has also led to growing
difficulties for other economic sectors. Given the capital-intensive nature of the oil sector, this protracted
stagnation (or recession) in non-oil sectors has resulted in increased unemployment. Monetary policies,
aimed at containing inflation through higher interest rates, hinder productive investment and consumption. Overall, the present situation is increasingly marked by symptoms of the deindustrialization of the
Iraqi economy: increased income from fossil natural resources raises the value of the Iraqi dinar, making
nationally manufactured goods less competitive with those from other nations, increasing the need for
80
imports and decreasing the value of exports. This calls for a dedicated effort of the national government,
local authorities and their international partners to stimulate non-oil private sector development.
Finally, reindustrialization efforts to help State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) to resume activities and compete in international markets have led to minimal results due to high labour costs and low productivity
rates. Forcing the privatization of SOEs before transforming them into corporations and without exposing
them to stock market risks would replicate mistakes made in other transitioning countries, where a nontransparent privatization process led to high corruption and low budget revenues. The employment opportunities that SOEs are still providing, fully subsidized by the federal budget, are a part of the problem.
Past experiences have shown that without a social plan and specific retrenchment packages available for
existing workers, there may be a greater risk of negative socioeconomic consequences resulting from loss
of dignity and poverty, including broad social unrest among the unemployed, possibly leading some to
engage in crime or join the insurgency. These potentially adverse consequences may discourage the GoI
from sustaining its privatization efforts.
The GoI is beginning to manage the energy sector, with the Prime Minister leading weekly coordination
meetings with the Ministers of Oil and Electricity. The GoI made progress in streamlining capital investment and contracting processes, integrating oil and electricity sectors and approving special funding. Continued progress in the electrical sector faces a variety of challenges. Fuel shortages, reduced water levels
at hydroelectric plants, equipment failures, damage to key power line segments, reliance on foreign
sources of power and years of system neglect exemplify these challenges. Although there is improved
focus on an energy strategy, development remains slow and continuing political engagement is necessary
to make a smooth transition to a market-based industry model in which the government performs a regulatory function.
Due to recent improvements in security, the current political environment in Iraq is becoming more hospitable to compromises across sectarian and ethnic divides. The GoI stand against the Jaysh al-Mahdi
(JAM) militia and the criminal elements in Basrah , and the subsequent operations in Baghdad and Ninewa, seem to have generated an improved atmosphere of political unity. However, this environment is fragile and reversible.
III.
Implementation Constraints and Challenges during the Reporting Period
Participating UN Organizations, because of the restrictions placed on the movement of UN staff in Iraq,
have been unable to monitor all projects directly on-site. The agencies have therefore sought other ways
to circumvent the situation on the ground and reach target populations. In the reporting period, an overall
strong partnership was maintained and further enhanced through new project activities, such as the UNDP
Target for Resource Assignments from the Core (TRAC) projects for Budget Execution Support implemented to assist GoI institutions. The agencies have also been relying on the integrity and capacity of
contractors and consultants, as well as on Iraqi ministerial employees for quality control. Closed-circuit
TV monitoring is also used. Support from ministries, local authorities, religious institutions and interested
stakeholders has been maintained and progress achieved through continued dialogue and consultation.
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 Office and its Advisory Board, the MoPDC, MoEd, MoEn,
MoO, BWA, Mayoralty of Baghdad, MoA, MoMPW, MoWR, MoH, and MoLSA. Other partners include
selected Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Iraq in the targeted governorates, the General Directorate for Electricity Production (GDEP), Economists Union of Kurdistan, microfinance institutions, 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.

Narrative Explanatory Summary of Results
During the reporting period, the sector furthered dialogue with the GoI through increased presence on the
ground in Iraq (a result of the improved security situation) on key of economic reform and diversification,
led by the Board of Advisors of the Prime Minister. This dialogue has taken the shape of a series of
roundtables organized in Baghdad. A clear understanding of priorities for private sector development, as
well as the reform of the Iraqi Public Distribution System (PDS), which distributes monthly food and
non-food rations to the population of Iraq, has been the result of this process, which is being converted
into programme documents for the ERDSOT to implement.
Turning to specific projects, the UNOPS/ESCWA project promotes district-level governance and income
generation in the Governorate of Basrah . Specific Outcome 1-related achievements in the reporting period included:
• Establishment of three technical planning units in three districts in Basrah Governorate, enhancing local development planning capacities, conflict management and gender mainstreaming
• A temporary income assistance fund to support vulnerable and poor groups livelihoods
• A local development fund to support community infrastructure projects
• Implementation of labor-intensive schemes by local authorities to assist in income generation for
poorer population segments
83
•
A rural recovery fund to provide micro-grants to local farmers
Significant advances have been made during the reporting period on crosscutting issues conducive to
achieving the MDGs in Iraq. Opportunities for vulnerable groups to participate in municipal decisionmaking processes have increased during the reporting period, along with social safety and economic development through targeted support initiatives. One example of successful capacity development initiative
is the series of territorial and conflict resolution training workshops targeting municipal and governorate
steering committee staff in Basrah.
The restoration activities in Samarra by UNESCO/UNDP have greatly benefited the local economy and
reconciliation among religious communities. Participation of local stakeholders in project activities is
progressing well and contributing to the healing process. The planned shrine restoration has begun, with
the immediate benefit of temporary employment for about 200 residents. The restoration activities and the
resulting reconciliation efforts between the religious communities have enhanced the local economy and
the sense of security. The economy has also benefited from an increase in pilgrimage and trade due to an
increase in visitors to Samarra.
The sector, through UNDP in particular, has been providing support to the electricity sector by upgrading and
replacing power plant facility spare parts in Mussaib,
Mossul and Taji. For example, 12 containers weighing
125 tonnes were delivered to the Mussaib Power Plant in
April 2008. Within the reporting period, several important rehabilitation projects have reached an advanced
stage of completion, contributing to an increased Iraqi

5. Financial Performance
UNDP MDTF Office, as Administrative Agent of the UNDG ITF, officially reports to IRFFI donors
every six months on total contributions (earmarked and un-earmarked) received, transfers made to Participating UN Organizations for the implementation of approved projects, and the expenditures incurred
against these projects.
5.1.
Sources, Use, and Balance of UNDG ITF Funds
During the six-month reporting period an additional contribution of $33.97 million was deposited into the
UNDG ITF account, which increased total donor contributions as of 30 June 2008 to $1.3 billion. This
represents 98 percent of the total commitments made by donors as of this date. Of this amount, $1.11 billion (85 percent) had been transferred to sixteen implementing agencies by 30 June 2008. Table 5.1 provides an overview of the overall sources, uses, and balance of the UNDG ITF funds as of 30 June 2008.

Apart from donor contributions, the other source of funds for the UNDG ITF is interest income. The two
sources of interest earned 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 30
June 2008, the Fund-earned interest amounted to $30.23 million and the amount of interest transferred by
the Participating UN Organizations to the UNDG ITF Bank Account amounted to 25.12 million, thus
bringing the total earned interest income to $55.35 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.
86
The Administrative Agent fee of approximately $10.42 million charged up front for the entire duration of
the UNDG ITF, presently extended to 2011, amounts to 0.79 percent of the total funds deposited. As of
30 June 2008, the direct costs recovered from contributions amounted to $2.53 million. As indicated in
the “Sixth Six-monthly 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 SCSO, including the
recruitment of an M&E Officer, the re-establishment of the IRFFI Secretariat 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
period 2004-2011 would be $4.42 million and consequently, an additional $1.84 million was recovered
from unearmarked funds in August 2008.

The top five contributors to the UNDG ITF continued to be the European Commission ($565 million),
Japan ($361 million), Spain ($93 million), Canada ($64 million), and the United Kingdom ($56 million),
as shown in Table 5.2. In the third quarter of 2008, additional contributions amounting to $3.22 million
were received from the EC and $8.8 million from Turkey, bringing total donor contributions to $1.32 billion as of 30 September 2008.

5.2.1.Earmarking under the UNDG ITF
In December 2007, the United Nations Country Team (UNCT) in Iraq realigned its structures and strategy
with the ICI and this resulted in the reconfiguration of the previous Cluster structure into the new coordination structure of SOTs. 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 Organization(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 donor contribution and individual project(s).
Irrespective of whether donor contributions are earmarked or not, all projects submitted by Participating
UN Organizations to the 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 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 unearmarked contributions.

Earned Interest
5.3.1. UNDG ITF-Administrative Agent (Fund)-Earned Interest
UNDG ITF Administrative Agent (Fund)-earned interest income as of 30 June 2008 amounted to
$30.23 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.
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 second 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 30 June 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 Participating UN Organizations amounted to $29.68 million of which the balance for 2007 of
$4.55 million was received in the third quarter of 2008. 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.

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 Organization, thereby accounting for more than one project.
94
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 reporting period and
through the third quarter of 2008, the approval of UNDG ITF proposals was temporarily suspended to
ensure that all new UNDG ITF proposals were developed in compliance with the UN and ICI strategic
priorities and were rigorously reviewed utilizing the new UNCT coordination structure.

Total Expenditure
NOTES:
(a) Indirect support-cost expenditures have been charged on total project budget amounts instead of on
actual expenditures by some agencies as per their rules and regulations. While some agencies will
adjust these costs at the end of their biennium, others will 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.
5.5.1.Analysis of Expenditure for the Period from 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2008
During the reporting period of January to June 2008, the bulk of the total programme costs were incurred for
procurement of contractual services ($26.27 million), for personnel ($11.21 million), and for equipment ($9.44
million). On a cumulative basis, these three categories of expenditure together with supplies and commodities
accounted for 84 percent of total programme costs for the period 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2008.
While the personnel costs have increased to 8.5 per cent for this reporting period, overall, the expenditure for
this category of expenditure is still relatively low due to the continued reliance on national rather than international personnel in the implementation of UNDG ITF-funded projects. Cumulative total security costs continue
to account for only 0.8 percent of total programme costs. As explained in earlier progress reports, the main
reasons for the unusually low percentage of total programme costs attributed to security compared to costs incurred under comparable bilaterally funded programmes in Iraq are:
(a) extensive use of national staff, line ministries, and local contractors;
(b) non-inclusion of the security costs incurred by the UN or on behalf of the UN by the multinational forces in support of the key political and overall coordination work of the UN in Baghdad, Basrah , and Erbil on the grounds that these cost are not directly related to the implementation of UNDG ITF projects;
99
(c) minimal use of large-scale project office buildings, project vehicles, etc. (as is usually the case
in other countries) by UNDG ITF project personnel; and
(d) possible inclusion by some contractors of some security costs in their contract costs.
The cumulative average rate of indirect support costs charged by UN implementing agencies to date amounts
to 5.7 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.
As shown in Table 5.13, for the reporting period, of the four UNCT Policy Groups, Essential Social Services
Policy Group reflected high expenditure in four out of its five Sector Outcome Teams, in Health: $11.75 million, in Education: $9.51 million, in Food Security, Agriculture, Food Assistance: $8.86 million and in Water
and Sanitation: $5.41 million. Within the Governance Policy Group, the Sub-sector, Support to the Electoral
Process reported the highest expenditure of $15.03 million. On an aggregate level, the Policy Group of Governance has reflected the highest expenditure as a per cent of total funds transferred (90 percent), followed by
Essential Social Services (81 percent), Protection (78 per cent) and Economic Development (75 percent).

5.6.1. Contract Commitments and Disbursements
In addition to consolidated six-month progress reports, the MDTF Office also receives and consolidates from
Participating UN Organizations, monthly figures of project commitments and disbursements as well as contracts awarded by the Participating UN Organizations. 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 Committee as a basis for approval of new projects. They are also
reported in the UNDG ITF Newsletter and posted publicly on the IRFFI web site.
As of 30 June 2008, a total of $884 million or 80 percent of Funds Transferred had been legally committed and
$766 million or 69 percent of Funds Transferred had been disbursed. From 1 July to 30 September 2008, Participating UN Organizations committed an additional $44.18 million and disbursed an additional $45.83 million. Most of the Sub-sectors continue to have commitment and disbursement rates at or above 70 except for
Rural Development and Poverty Reduction and Human Development.
Tables 5.19 and 5.20 provide updated figures on total project commitments and disbursements as of 30 June
2008 and 30 September 2008 by SOT and by Participating UN Organization, respectively. Figure 5.5 traces
the cumulative growth of donor contributions, approved projects, commitments, disbursements, and expenditure from inception to 30 June 2008.

On a cumulative basis, of the total contract awards of approximately $565.07 million (Table 5.22), contracts
totaling some $334 million (59 percent) were awarded under competitive bidding, while there were about $212
million (37.5 percent) in direct contracts and $19 million (3 percent) in long-term agreements, as per the financial regulations and rules of the implementing agencies.
5.7.
Cost Recovery
As indicated in the earlier reports, the cost recovery for UNDG ITF is guided by the applicable provisions of
the IRFFI TOR, the LOA concluded by UNDP as the Administrative Agent of the UNDG ITF with IRFFI donors, and the MOU concluded with Participating UN Organizations.
For the reporting period from 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2008, the actual costs were as follows:
(a) The Administrative Agent fee of $10.42 million, charged for the entire duration of the Fund, amounted to
0.79 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 $49.44 million, which amount to 5.7 percent
of total programme costs, and is at the lower range of 5 to 9 percent specified in the UNDG ITF MOU and
110
LOA.
(c) The total expenditure incurred as direct costs from 2004 to 2007 amounted to $888,534. The total estimated for 2008 is $675,258 and the actual for 2008 will be reported in the ninth Progress Report. 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 had
already been collected as direct costs from contributions received as of 30 September 2008, an additional
amount of $1.84 million was deducted from unearmarked funds in September 2008 as per Steering Committee approval of 3 July 2008.
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 web site:
www.irffi.org, the MDTF Office web site (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 web site 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 web site.
5.9 Future Plans
The MDTF Office as AA is required to consolidate narrative and financial reports and provide them to donors,
MDTF Steering Committees and the Participating UN Organizations. As the standard UNDG reporting is
based on results based management, and there is an increasing demand to link resources with results, the
MDTF Office has developed a standard set of services that respond to the growing request for quality financial
and narrative reporting.
In 2009 Financial Year, the MDTF Office expects to receive narrative and financial data for 19 MDTFs from
35 different Participating UN Organizations in more than 70 countries. The current MDTF Office portfolio
includes commitments of US$3.2 billion, of which US$2.7 billion have already been deposited and more than
$2 billion have been transferred to Participating UN Organizations.
In light of recent growth in the funds administered and the expected reporting burden for both the MDTF Office and the Participating UN Organizations, a business process analysis was conducted to identify future operational needs to ensure that the inter-agency nature of the joint reporting requirement of the MDTFs can be
met. The following points were identified:
•
Agencies use different financial systems with different charts of accounts, and as such direct system
integration or raw data integration would be difficult;
111
•
•
•
•
There is no automated tool to facilitate the development of integrated (i.e., financial and narrative) reports based on inputs from a multitude of UN organizations;
There is no staging area for the required non-financial (results) information;
There is no automated aggregation of data for analysis and reporting purposes at the Project/Joint Programme, Theme, Fund, and overall level; and
There is no separate General Ledger system for tracking non-UNDP “pass-through” income and expenditures.
In response to these needs, the MDTF Office is scheduled to introduce the MDTF Reporting Portal in early
2009, an easy-to-use web-interface system, consisting of three distinct components with interdependent implementation streams, as follows:
¾
UNEX component. An expenditure upload facility used by some Agencies for UNDP Funded Project Delivery Reports (PDRs). This interface will allow Participating UN Organizations to directly
upload expenditure data for their pass-through financial reporting purposes. They will be able to upload a single excel spread sheet containing all data pertaining to projects and programme administered by the MDTF Office.
¾
Atlas component. A new General Ledger Business Unit (GLBU) will be established for the MDTF
Office in Atlas, the UNDP corporate information and financial system, so that “pass-through” funds
administered by the MDTF Office as Administrative Agent and held in trust by UNDP on behalf of
Participating UN Organizations are recorded on a separate ledger to ensure the highest level of accountability, transparency and audit traceability. This will also reinforce the MDTF Office’s accountability as Administrative Agent of MDTFs and UN Joint Programmes (JPs).
¾
Web-interface/database tool component. The web-interface will provide a single window for the
collection, tracking and reporting of non-financial performance information, and will give MDTF
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 MTDF and individual JP.
The introduction of an automated system will rationalize current UN business practices, and also result in service improvements provided by the MDTF Office to the Participating UN Organizations, as well as to donors,
steering committees and recipient governments. Specifically the MDTF Office is aiming to provide the following service improvements:
1. Cost and time saving financial reporting process: The MDTF portal would allow Participating UN
Organizations to meet their financial reporting requirements by submitting the financial expenditure
data for all their project expenditures in one single simplified excel spreadsheet to be uploaded
through this portal using the already existing UNEX expenditure upload facility. The UNEX component would allow financial data to be submitted in a consistent format and thereby reduce the workload and reporting burden on the Participating UN Organizations, and also ease the burden for the
MDTF Office in the collection and consolidation of reporting data.
2. Increased transparency and data management through easier access to information: The portal
would provide access to financial and narrative data on MDTFs and JPs administered by the MDTF
Office to all registered staff of Participating UN Organizations. Specifically, users would be able to
access a dashboard-style interface to see financial and narrative information in a customizable fashion,
designed to support cross-agency knowledge management efforts in line with UNDG agreed standards
and vision.
3. Separate accounting for pass-through funds held in-trust on behalf of Participating UN Organizations: The establishment of the new MDTF General Ledger in Atlas (the UNDP corporate information and financial system) will allow separate and distinct recording and processing of all pass-through
112
funds and would ensure a higher degree of “separateness” from UNDP’s regular books, thus enhancing accountability.
As part of the above streamlining process, 2003 UNDG approved nine budget and expenditure categories
have been replaced by the 2006 UNDG approved six budget and expenditure categories and the Participating
UN Organizations will be required to report on the six harmonized categories for period ending 31 December
2008. The mapping of the 2003 UNDG harmonized nine categories to the 2006 UNDG harmonized six categories is given in Figure 5.6.
