SIGIR – Transferring Reconstruction Projects to the Government of Iraq: Some Progress Made but Further Improvements Needed to Avoid Waste

    Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR)

  • Transferring Reconstruction Projects to the Government of Iraq: Some Progress Made but Further Improvements Needed to Avoid Waste, April 28, 2008: “U.S. agencies involved in reconstruction activities have taken steps to improve the asset transfer policies, plans, and processes, but further actions are needed to address longstanding problems that have hindered the program’s effective implementation…These deficiencies, if not adequately addressed, will place the overall U.S. investment in many capital asset projects at risk of being ineffectively and inefficiently used, and in the worst case scenario, not used at all. Such an occurrence would greatly increase existing concerns over waste related to U.S. reconstruction activities in Iraq.”
  • Interim Report on Iraq Reconstruction Contract Terminations, April 28, 2008: “Although information on contract terminations is incomplete, available data show that approximately 855 Iraq reconstruction contracts–or task orders within individual contracts–have been terminated for the convenience of the U.S government or because of default on the part of the contractor. This information comes from the Iraq Reconstruction Management System (IRMS), which as of March 20, 2008, contained information on 47,321 projects.”
