Iraq Community Action Program
NGO Pre-Bid Conference

The Iraq Community Action Program (CAP) Request for Applications was released on April 9, 2003. Briefly, CAP will promote diverse and representative citizen participation in and among impoverished communities throughout Iraq, and will identify and address critical reconstruction and development needs. These activities will include demand-side projects that promote civic participation, revitalize essential infrastructure, create employment and income generation opportunities, and address critical environmental problems. The program will create community committees responsible for identifying and prioritizing community needs, mobilizing community and other resources, and monitoring project implementation. Broader cluster committees will be formed with representatives from various community committees to increase participation and cooperation on issues of regional concern, and to promote ethnic, religious, and tribal cooperation on the basis of shared interests.
