RECONSTRUCTION ASSISTANCE TO IRAQ
REF: SECSTATE 84935
¶1. (SBU) SUMMARY: In response to a reiterated request for
information on Jordan's contribution to the reconstruction of
Iraq, the Jordanian Ministry of Planning provided to the
Embassy a report detailing Jordan's Iraq-related activities.
The report highlights several areas in which the GOJ has
offered in-kind assistance to the CPA and government of Iraq;
for a variety of reasons, most of these offers have not been
followed up by CPA/GOI. Significant exceptions to this rule
include Jordan's "at-cost" provision of programs training
Iraqi police and border security personnel, Iraqi air traffic
controllers and other civil aviation-related personnel, and
employees of the the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity. The
report also mentions improvements Jordan has made to its own
infrastructure which benefit Iraq, as well as Jordan's
extension of exemptions, previously granted to UN agencies
and contractors under Oil-for-Food, to the agencies and
contractors pursuing relief and reconstruction acivities in
Iraq since the conclusion of the Oil-for-Food program. The
report does not mention substantial contributions by the
Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF) in the training of the New Iraqi
Army, the operation of a field hospital in Fallujah, and
border cooperation with the CPA and coalition forces. END
SUMMARY.
------------
NIA Training
------------
¶2. In cooperation with coalition forces, the JAF is providing
staff and facilities for the training of the officer corps of
the New Iraqi Army. To date, NIA officer candidates who have
completed or are undergoing training in Jordan include
approximately 700 company-grade officers, 140 staff officers,
20 brigade and division commanders, 50 female officers, and
340 aviators.
-----------------------
Fallujah Field Hospital
-----------------------
¶3. Established by the JAF Royal Medical Services (RMS) at the
end of April 2003 and staffed by RMS personnel since that
time, the 30-bed Fallujah Field Hospital has handled 282,533
cases and performed 1,005 surgeries. The RMS has also
medevaced several problematic cases to Amman and performed
operations on them there, at the expense of royal charities.
---------------------------
GOJ Non-military Assistance
---------------------------
¶4. The Ministry of Planning forwarded the following report
to the Embassy on April 27, 2004, outlining Jordanian
reconstruction assistance to Iraq since the end of the war
there.

Begin text:
-----------
The Government of Jordan is deeply committed to continue its
leading efforts in providing humanitarian and reconstruction
assistance to the Iraqi people and to utilize its territory
as a transit point through which humanitarian assistance is
channelled to Iraq from different countries and international
organizations. The Government of Jordan has launched the
Jordanian Initiative to provide emergency humanitarian aid
and facilitate its swift delivery into Iraq through Jordan.
The Government also coordinated with international agencies
and NGOs to channel humanitarian aid directly to Iraq or
through the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization and the
Crisis Management Center. Jordan's efforts at ensuring a safe
humanitarian corridor and smooth flow of goods have
registered a new world record in the delivery of urgently
needed food supplies achieving a rate of 12,9000 tons per
day.
Due to the geographic proximity and more importantly to the
deep economic and social ties that Jordan has built over the
last decade with Iraq, Jordan maintains a unique position
that allows it to act as an enabler and facilitator to all
international initiatives that address the reconstruction and
development challenges.
The Government of Jordan stresses the need to work
expeditiously towards the establishment of a full-fledged,
legitimate and representative Iraqi government as a
cornerstone of the process of rebuilding Iraq as the
Kingdom,s efforts are currently focused on assisting the
Iraqis to reconstruct their institutions.
In this regard, the Government of Jordan sought to address
the immediate and medium term priority reconstruction needs
of Iraqi sectors in a manner that will ensure that the
assistance offered will be tailored according to the needs
and requirements of Iraqi ministries and institutions which
according to the United Nations/World Bank Joint Iraq Needs
Assessment report published October 2003, include
strengthening institutions of sovereign, transparent, and
good government, resorting critical human services, and
supporting an economic and social transition. In line with
UN Security Council Resolutions 1483 and 1151, and the United
Nation,s appeal for assistance, Jordan has repeatedly
expressed its readiness to assist in the reconstruction of
Iraq to ensure the presence of the necessary conditions for
attaining sustainable development, as well as to advance the
current efforts aimed at restoring and establishing strong
national and local institutions for a representative
government.
Furthermore, the Government of Jordan made substantial
investments to create a supportive infrastructure that will
ensure the smooth flow of goods and services into Iraq to
support both humanitarian efforts and private sector
development requirements. As a result, Jordan has incurred
to-date, approximately US$20 million, in addition to an
estimated total of US$ 80 million required to cover
additional necessary infrastructure improvements.
In December 2003, the GOJ approved the request presented by
the World Bank for the establishment of an Interim Office for
its operations concerning Iraq and extended to the World
Bank,s staff privileges, immunities, exemptions and
facilities accorded to resident representatives of other
international organizations in Jordan, and their spouses and
dependents. Moreover, the International Finance Corporation
is currently in the process of establishing an office in
Amman and the IMF is considering the establishment of a
similar office in Jordan.
On the other hand, and in response to the formal requests for
assistance in restructuring and rehabilitation of priority
areas, vigorous consultations were conducted between the
various Jordanian Ministries and institutions and the Iraqi
Interim Government and the Coalition Provisional Authority
(CPA). Moreover, several bilateral initiatives were launched
between the Government of Jordan and the Iraqi Interim
Government/CPA covering 18 priority sectors. These include:
Labor, Agriculture, Justice, Investment Climate and Trade,
Financial Markets/Privatization, Census, Police and Border
Training, Education, Transport, Banking, Health,
Telecommunications, Water and Sanitation, Energy, Housing and
Land Management, Urban Management, Culture, and finally
Tourism. The projects fall within the areas of regulatory
and process benchmarking of Jordanian institutions, training
contributions both inside and outside of Iraq, as well as
direct assistance and support for Iraqi ministries. The
objectives of these projects are to encourage the formation
of democratic market based institutions in Iraq, and
improving the security, health, and economic well being of
the Iraqi people.
Achievements attained to date can be summarized as follows:
Labor
The Iraqi Interim Government and the Coalition Provisional
Authority (CPA) presented the Government of Jordan with an
assessment of the immediate needs of the Iraqi labor sector
and a request for assistance and training in the restoration
of democratic trade unions and creation of labor/management
relations system. The Jordanian Ministry of Labor expressed
it readiness to assist in the rehabilitation of this vital
sector through the transfer of expertise and knowledge in the
following areas:
- Rehabilitation of the Social Welfare System.
- Provision of Vocational Training.
- Working Environment Safety Rules and Regulations.
- Rehabilitation of Labor Unions.
- Work Inspection and Control Procedures and Regulations.
Energy
As part of Jordan,s efforts aimed at assisting the Iraqi
people to reconstruct their electricity networks, which have
been severely damaged as a result of the war as well as
training Iraqi experts, a Memorandum of Understanding was
signed between Jordan,s Ministry of Energy and Mineral
Resources and its Iraqi counterpart under which a liaison
office to handle electricity cooperation between Iraq and
Jordan was established. The office is located in Jordan,s
National Electric Power Company (NEPC) and is directly linked
to Iraq's electricity ministry. It will provide local and
foreign investors with information on the present and future
needs of Iraq's electricity sector, in addition to projects
under implementation. The office will also handle all tender
announcements of relevant Iraqi projects in local newspapers
and on the website of the NEPC.
Moreover, in cooperation with specialized agencies in Jordan,
the office will provide the Iraqi side with training,
technical, financial and administrative assistance, noting
that Iraq's daily electricity needs are estimated at 18,000
megawatts but only 5,000 megawatts are currently provided.
Agriculture
Jordan,s assistance was requested in the following:
- Advice on sanitary/phytosanitary standards and
long-term structuring and organization of Iraq,s Ministry of
Agriculture.
- Experience sharing and knowledge transfer on water
control improvement and monitoring specifically the exiting
water distribution systems in the Jordan Valley.
- Experience sharing and knowledge transfer on cropping
of agricultural products.
- Experience sharing and knowledge transfer on soil
analysis systems carried out in Jordan before fertilizer
application.
Moreover, the Government of Jordan was presented with a
request for a high level technical meeting to re-establish
dialogue between the two ministries and identify potential
areas of cooperation.
Accordingly, a meeting was held on 22 September 2003 between
representatives from the Jordanian and Iraqi Ministries of
Agriculture to identify the requirements of the Agricultural
sector in Iraq. An initial agreement was reached to provide
assistance to the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture through:
- Experts to assist in the building of internal capacity
within the Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture
- Sharing Jordan,s expertise and knowledge in combating
