Comprehensive Plan Needed to Guide the Future of the Iraq Reconstruction Management System

Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR): Comprehensive Plan Needed to Guide the Future of the Iraq Reconstruction Management System, July 25, 2008

  • “This report addresses the Iraq Reconstruction Management System. Public Law 108-106 created the $18.4 billion Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF), and established a requirement for the IRRF-implementing agencies to submit reports to the Congress on how the funding was being used. The management information system developed to meet the IRRF reporting requirements is known as the Iraq Reconstruction Management System (IRMS). However, IRMS is four years old; its hardware and software systems are becoming obsolete and in need of immediate management action to sustain reporting capabilities. Without appropriate action, the Congress and the Department of State and Department of Defense risk losing the only integrated management information on Iraq reconstruction projects. To provide the necessary senior leadership that supports the development and use of a management information system that meets the needs of its stakeholders, SIGIR recommends that the U. S. Ambassador to Iraq and the Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq, jointly direct the establishment of an interagency planning process to address the future operation and use of IRMS and develop a coordinated management plan. Congress may wish to request that the Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense provide it with a copy of the plan.”
