Speeches Shim
USAID provides important support to the people and government of Iraq. USAID’s efforts focus on five goals:
1) Assisting Iraqis affected by conflict, including those displaced by violence, providing life-saving aid, including safe drinking water, food and medical services, through the USAID offices of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance and Food for Peace;
2) Helping Iraq stabilize communities newly liberated from Da’esh occupation through rehabilitating such basic services as water, electricity, health and education, and by providing temporary employment and small-business grants;
3) Supporting Iraqi efforts to decentralize decision making and basic services, so provincial governments have the authority and resources to respond effectively to public needs;
4) Increasing government openness, efficiency and effectiveness through improved public financial management and financial oversight;
5) Promoting economic reform, improving the business environment and moving Iraq towards a diversified market economy.
