The Chief Engineer for An Nasiriyah's Radio/TV station explains to members of the US-Government DART how he and other station employees have continued to work to keep the television station operating since the war. Before the war, all programming was tightly controlled by the previous regime. Now, station employees are developing their own programming mix of news, sports, public service announcements and movies.
A Senior Program Officerfrom USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives takes notes as the chief engineer of An Nasiriyah's Radio/TV station in southern Iraq explains his plans for enhancing TV and radio broadcasts to the city's inhabitants. Currently, the TV station is on the air for about seven hours a day.
A representative from the Iraqi Department of Education speaks at a groundbreaking ceremony (May 18) marking the rehabilitation of a secondary school in Umm Qasr, Iraq, accompanied by one of the town councilmen and the school's headmaster. The project to refurbish the school's 13 classrooms is being funded by USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives, and implemented by the International Organization for Migration. An estimated 500 Iraqi boys attend classes at the school.
A DART Program Officer, accompanied by DART translator, listen to Abdul Khaliq, an Iraqi engineer in charge of the installation of a prefabricated building that will act as temporary headquarters for the town council in the southern Iraqi town of Umm Qasr (shown in the background.) The building will be divided into 3-4 rooms that will enable the town council to carry out its duties in meeting the needs of the town's residents. The building was erected under a grant from USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives. The U.S. Government, through USAID/OTI, also provided funds to rehabilitate a secondary school in Umm Qasr, enhance telephone and Internet connectivity in the town, and to establish a sports and recreation program to keep children occupied after the end of the school year.
An Iraqi engineer briefs a DART Program Officer inside a prefabricated building that is to be used as the headquarters for the town council in the southern Iraqi town of Umm Qasr. The U.S. Government, through USAID's Office of Transition Initiatives, is funding the construction of the building, and the purchase of office furniture, computers and other equipment.
Names of the dead and corresponding numbers are logged on boards. People run their fingers across the lists looking for loved ones laid out in an adjoining room.
