Comprehensive Plan Needed to Guide the Future of the Iraq Reconstruction Management System
Abstract
In November 2003, the Congress passed Public Law 108-106, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense and for the Reconstruction of Iraq and Afghanistan, 2004, which created the $18.4 billion Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund (IRRF). In addition to providing funding for Iraq reconstruction, the law contained a requirement to submit reports to the Congress on how the funding was being used, and provided $50 million to be used to fulfill the reporting and monitoring requirements of this Act and for the preparation and maintenance of public records required by this Act. In 2004, a management information system was developed to meet the IRRF reporting requirements. Now known as the Iraq Reconstruction Management System (IRMS), the system was intended to meet three objectives: * Provide a single, unified management information system with a common data dictionary that would provide a common operating picture of the Iraq reconstruction effort. * Support the production of reports required by Public Law 108-106. * Serve as a joint U.S.-Iraq system that could be transferred to the Government of Iraq (GOI) to provide management information on U.S.-funded reconstruction projects.
