Iraq - Technical Support for the German "Credit Facility to Assist the Return of IDPs" in Iraq
The Government of Germany, through KfW, provides a credit facility (Untied Financial Loan, UFL) for stabilization and recovery of the liberated territories, and to assist the return of internally displaced persons (IDPs). Contents of the project is the assistance to the Ministry of Electricity (MoE) in the preparation of an investment programme ("investment measure") and a related technical support component ("accompanying measure"), to assess and plan measures for the rehabilitation of the transmission and distribution networks for re-establishing power feeders to the end users. This results into an "Investment Plan for the Power Sector in Northern Iraq", consisting of Phase I for immediate implementation, and Phase II for complementary required investments.
