Special IG for Iraq Reconstruction – January 30, 2007 Quarterly and Semiannual Report to Congress: “Last January, SIGIR identified 2006 as the year of transition, highlighting many challenges to effective turnover of projects and programs to Iraqi control. SIGIR observed limited progress on these issues during 2006: supporting anticorruption efforts; enhancing infrastructure security; building ministerial capacity; ensuring the sustainability of reconstruction programs and projects; increasing support for reconstruction by the international community; improving coordination of all U.S. agencies involved in reconstruction. In 2007, transition to Iraqi control will accelerate. Success, however, hinges on the effective resolution of each of these issues.”
