Lessons Learned Reports
The purpose of SIGIR’s Lessons Learned Initiative is to capture and apply the lessons learned from the
Iraq reconstruction experience. In February 2006, SIGIR released Iraq Reconstruction: Lessons in Human
Capital Management; in August 2006, SIGIR released Iraq Reconstruction: Lessons in Contracting and
Procurement; and in March 2007, SIGIR released its third and final Lessons Learned report, Iraq Reconstruction:
Lessons in Program and Project Management. These three reports help satisfy SIGIR's mandate from Congress to
provide recommendations that promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in the administration of the
reconstruction program in Iraq.

Audit Reports
SIGIR conducts audits to determine whether programs and operations funded by
the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund are being managed efficiently,
effectively, economically, and achieving the desired outcomes. Audit reports
include recommendations for corrective action. Audit subjects are selected
according to the SIGIR Audit Plan
which covers SIGIR priorities for 2005-2007.

Project Assessment Reports
SIGIR assessment teams gather contractual specifications, then travel to the
project sites to inspect actual on-site efforts and accomplishments. SIGIR
inspectors have brought deficiencies in planning, design work, construction,
testing, and general contractor oversight to the attention of U.S. managers, so
that action can be taken to improve project execution.

(1) the March 7 parliamentary elections, the first since December 2005, which will determine whether a
change occurs in the Prime Minister’s seat; and
(2) the departure of 70,000 U.S. troops by August 31, which will formally end U.S. combat operations in
Iraq. The implications and consequences of these two developments, though not directly related to
reconstruction, will exert great influence on the nature and scope of the continuing U.S. effort in Iraq.
