World Bank Iraq Trust Fund provides $6.6 million for household survey, poverty reduction strategy[/SIZE][/COLOR]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

29 September 2006 (PortAl Iraq)
The World Bank and Iraq's Ministry of Planning and Development Cooperation have signed two grant agreements to finance a nationwide socioeconomic household survey and to formulate a poverty reduction strategy.

The first survey of this type to be conducted in Iraq since 1993, it will examine income, expenditures and living standards, yielding valuable data on poverty and complementing other surveys financed by the United Nations, according to the World Bank's Sept. 28 announcement.

The Emergency Household Survey and Policies for Poverty Reduction Project includes a $5.1 million grant to be implemented by to finance the survey and data analysis, and a $1.5 million companion grant to be implemented by the World Bank to provide technical assistance on the latest data collection and analysis techniques. The projects combined total $6.6 million, financed by a multidonor Trust Fund administered by the World Bank.

"This project builds on more than a year of close dialogue with Iraq's statistical agencies," Task Team leader Susan Razzaz said. "Under the Second Capacity Building Project of the Trust Fund, we have already conducted over ten workshops to assess and develop their capacity."

According to the World Bank, a generation ago s income and education and health indicators were high compared to regional averages; in recent years, living standards have declined to among the lowest in the region.

"Modern systems for data collection and dissemination are essential for providing Iraqi's policymakers with reliable information on which to base their decisions," Joseph Saba, Country Director, Middle East Department, said.

"This project will enable s government to establish a poverty line, develop policies to reduce poverty and increase employment, and target social assistance to the neediest. It will also help the government determine how to best sequence reforms to minimize any negative effect on poverty and employment."

The World Bank Iraq Trust Fund, within the International Reconstruction Fund Facility for Iraq, has financed 13 projects amounting to nearly $400 million to improve education, health, irrigation and drainage, social protection, telecommunications, urban infrastructure, and water supply and sanitation. The World Bank has also approved $235 million in International Development Association credits for education and road rehabilitation.

Enjoy peeps
