	Iraq Development Program - IDP
		The Iraq Development Program is an initiative organised to aid the development of Iraq as an economic force, improve the country socially and benefit its people as they establish themselves as part of the international community.
		The need to develop Iraq is apparent in a number of industry sectors, including electricity, water, oil, health, transportation, agriculture and telecommunications among others.
		Within Iraq, it is imperative that power supplies and electrical grids are restored, oil and gas supplies are maximised and that a rebuilding program is fully implemented for the country's airports, roads and schools.
