They might need some help with the reconstruction, but imagine all of the jobs and the boost to the economy it could be if they hired local instead of farming out all this work. You know all this help is going to come with a price tag... 

 

Despite my cynicism about the financial side of things, it's still good that they have all of this support system" rel="">support. Having this many allies will be good for them on a global level as far as their reach, influence, and markets for oil, gas, etc. Let's hope that they learn from all of these outside contractors and can start picking up the slack and building things themselves eventually. Or that the contractors pick up some local labor to help boost the local job markets, too.

 

 

You know I was thinking about this...I wonder how much skilled workers are left in Iraq. Any and all skilled workers were sent/or volunteered to fight...not many are left I bet. Teachers? What about teachers? I remember reading that they were taken and forced to teach ISIS kids. 

 

Just a thought

Yes, I imagine that is difficult. But it doesn't take skilled labor to pick debris off the streets. That alone should be enough work to keep the locals busy for some time. Then outside contractors could come in to design/build, with locals doing the hauling of goods. 

 

Though you make a good point--I wonder about their doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, architects, etc. Those with the means probably fled early on, or were taken and forced to work for ISIS. They must be hurting for skilled workers.

Iraq, August 15, 2017 

Fallujah city in Anbar province needs $2 billion for reconstruction, the city’s mayor said on August 10.

Eissa al-Sayer told Aljournal News website that securing the amount at present would be difficult given the government’s focus on military operations against IS, adding that world donors should focus donations on service projects rather than the infrastructure.

Sayer stated that the sanitation sector needs $50 million, the water services $10 million and the municipality needs $15 million just to begin clearance and reconstruction.

In May, the Iraqi government approved a ten-year scheme for the rehabilitation of areas liberated from IS worth USD100 billion, saying it would secure the finances depending on international loans and grants.

CHINA MAKES HUGE CONTRIBUTIONS TO IRAQ'S POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION

Iraq, August 21, 2017 China has been playing an active role in Iraq's post-war reconstruction and has made a 'huge' contribution in helping rebuild the country, according to Ahmed Tahseen Berwari, the Iraqi ambassador to China. Berwari made the remarks in a recent interview with China Central Television in Beijing. He said the two countries have enjoyed a good friendship since they first established a diplomatic relationship in 1958. 'Iraq and China have long-standing historical relations going back, from the Iraqi side, from the late 1950s. And since then the relation was always friendly despite the difficulties which Iraq went through in the last 30 or 40 years,' he said. The ambassador said China has been actively helping Iraq to rebuild its country after the Iraq war started in 2003. 'China, the Chinese government and Chinese people stood behind Iraq and showed understanding to the situation in Iraq. After 2003, China was not a part of the military operation and was also not a part of the change which is happening in my country but immediately started, after 2003, to support Iraq and we have now strategic relations with China,' he said. Berwari added that China has offered valuable support in helping Iraq to rebuild its infrastructure and has provided assistance in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terror group. 'And the contribution of China in helping Iraq to develop its economy to rebuild its infrastructure is huge. At the same time, the contribution of China in supporting Iraq in its fight against ISIS, it is for us clear because China donated many times financial support to help the Iraqi government to rebuild the liberated areas from ISIS,' said the ambassador.
