Building Capacity in the Public Utility Sectors of Basra, Iraq
During the summer of 2007 two members of the faculty of the Department of Systems Engineering at the United States Military Academy at West Point deployed to Basra, Iraq in order to assist in provincial reconstruction efforts. Specifically, the mission was to assist in building the capacity of the public sector utility leadership in project prioritization, project planning and project management in order to enhance infrastructure reconstruction efforts. The infrastructure reconstruction effort faces challenges in several domains including a degraded state of physical infrastructure components. Cultural, political, and economic factors, along with the challenging military security situation, further impact infrastructure reconstruction efforts. We present a report of our efforts and a methodology we developed to describe the nature of capacity building in these circumstances. This methodology likely can be applied in similar situations in other regions of the world.
