Foreign aid to Iraq
Member State of the Arab League Foreign aid to Iraq has increased to handle reconstruction efforts.In 2004 the U.S. Agency for International Development was responsible for awarding contracts totaling US$900 million for capital construction, seaport renovation, personnel support, public education, public health, government administration, and airport management.Also, Iran has been accused of giving some monetary support to individual political parties.Effective application of such funds, however, depends on substantial improvement in infrastructural and institutional resources.Because Iraq's international debt situation had not been elaborated in 2005, for the foreseeable future U.S. funds are expected to pay for capital investments in rebuilding.
