THE RECONSTRUCTION OF IRAQ
This preliminary background briefing paper has been prepared for the informal technical meeting on reconstruction in Iraq convened by the United Nations as a step towards the implementation of the relevant provisions of Security Council Resolution 1483 (May 2003) - - specifically, those provisions pertaining to assisting the Iraqi people, as they move towards reclaiming their own destiny, in post-conflict reconstruction processes falling under the independent responsibilities of the Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Iraq.
Under present security constraints, the UN Country Team has attempted to pull together preliminary information on the post-conflict situation and the challenges facing the Iraqi people in rebuilding their lives, their livelihoods and their institutions. The following sectoral overviews are quick compilations that complement the information provided in the Revised Flash Appeal. In this respect, it is important that they be seen as catalytic for the discussions and as a departing point from which to build on. This information will be enhanced through the preliminary needs assessment exercises that the UN and the World Bank hope to jointly undertake over the coming months.

Why Iraq Won’t Solve Its Electricity Problems Any Time Soon
Iraq has had grand plans for its electricity sector for quite some time. After years of wars and sanctions the power grid is in poor shape and needs billions in investment to provide the public with 24-hours of power. That’s always been hard, because demand has skyrocketed since the 2003 invasion. That hasn’t stopped the Electricity Ministry and leading officials to promise that a solution to the country’s power shortages is just a few years away. An analysis of the industry however, reveals that Iraq is nowhere close to resolving this dilemma, because the task is too large for the skills and funding currently available.
