Audit of USAID/Iraq's Community Stabilization Program; Audit rept

摘要

In November 2005, President George W. Bush announced a new strategy designed to achieve a stable, prosperous and democratic Iraq by focusing on increased security in conjunction with economic and political development. USAID's intended contribution to this strategy centered on stabilizing strategic cities, improving local services and local government capacity, and continuing to support Iraqi communities. With a U.S. presidential announcement in January 2007 to double the number of Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs), USAID's contribution to stabilizing strategic cities received added impetus.
