Need for Future Assistance Sample Clauses

Need for Future Assistance. Despite the significant amount of assistance provided by the US Government and other donors in Iraq, significant needs still exist. With ongoing violence, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of internally displaced people (IDPs) and Iraqis leaving Iraq. According to UNHCR, there are 1.9 million IDPs in the country and two million refugees who have escaped to neighboring countries, especially Syria and Jordan. Unemployment and poverty have risen sharply. According to the United Nations Development Program, one-third of the population now lives in poverty. The education system is still underdeveloped and under-resourced. Furthermore, the Iraqi peoples’ basic needs for drinking water, food, sanitation, healthcare and electricity are not yet being met.

Men, women, youth, and adults all agreed on the three major causes of conflict: • lack of social services, • electricity, • fuel (e.g. for vehicles and household use). Among the factors reported as least likely to cause conflict are: • access to food or food aid, • IDP related conflict, • water, • ethnicity/tribalism, • religion. USG personnel generally are optimistic about the potential for local economic development and the potential of ICAP II to contribute to it. Their view is that the Iraqi economy is active and that ICAP II can help people acquire the skills and resources to participate in it. Implementing Partner (IP) representatives of ICAP II are of the opinion that the potential for economic development is site-specific. Although the program can teach people b...
