12 March 2003
What appears to be the first contract awarded in the US Agency for International Development (USAID) post-crisis Iraq reconstruction programme has been won by International Resources Group, a Washington DC-based consulting firm.

The $7.1 million, 12-month contract is for personnel support which includes funding for USAID Asia & Near East Bureau staffing related to Iraq, as well as for a potential USAID project office in Iraq. The contract was awarded on February 21 and was one of eight requests for proposals issued by USAID in the programme on 31 January.
