Greetings, my colleagues

Despite the New Year’s holiday, local government holidays and road closures for the pilgrimage, flooding, civil unrest, and many people taking vacation days – we still had a productive week. Our highlights:

This week, the Ishaqi District Council (DC) conducted a public meeting, with Taqadum assistance, to facilitate citizen participation in identifying priority projects. Taqadum is supporting the Tikrit DC in Salah ad Din and Al-Zubair DC in Basrah in their preparations to hold public meetings. Taqadum introduced this concept to the leaders of eight DCs in Maysan as well.

Muthanna PC and GO officials approved the establishment of an Essential Service Delivery Oversight (ESDO) unit, and Taqadum reviewed service delivery performance standards (SDPS) with the Wasit Water Department. The Governor of Basrah approved the bylaws for the Basrah Provincial Planning and Development Council (PPDC). Taqadum provided technical assistance to officials in Babil, Najaf, and Dhi Qar as they took steps this week towards establishing a PPDC.

Taqadum continued to build the capacity of the Diwaniyah and Wasit GO Audit Sections to address irregularities cited in their annual Supreme Audit Board (SAB) reports, and built the capacity of Basrah GO staff to replace their manual system for capital budget accounting. Taqadum staff also discussed legislative tracking and related issues with officials in Najaf and Basrah.

Have a nice weekend.

Best regards,

Dear Gentlemen,

I am relying on your support in getting this Provincial Directory up and running. I thought it only appropriate to make each Provincial Coordinator responsible for the main contacts for their province but also to allow specialists to have access so they can enter their contacts as well.

I know the field staff are extremely busy, so if you have people in your hubs that can support the input of this information that would be great. This information is so useful to us and USAID asks for contact information often. Also, it will be much easier to invite officials and staff to events if we have all the contact information in one central place.

Thank you so much for all your support and cooperation,

Hi, guys 

I just need to be sure that we have enough CDs/DVDs with cases and labels so we can prepare for distribution the report (translated in Arabic), materials presented, and selected photos from the Sulaymaniyah Workshop. I know we are behind on this, but the report is almost done and we will get it translated ASAP. The lovely gentlemen in Baghdad have agreed to help me with the photos. I am hoping we can make copies next week and send to the hubs for distribution.

We should plan for 2 copies for each of the 15 PCs and 15 GOs, so that is already 60. Plus we will need to give copies to MOP, SMOPA, and whoever else is appropriate. So at least 70, maybe more. If we don’t have enough, can you please procure ASAP? We can talk about it in the morning as well.

Thanks,
