Multi-National Force - Iraq ^

BAQUBAH — The Diyala Provincial Reconstruction Team facilitated a meeting between Diyala government officials and the Ministry of Trade at Forward Operating Base Warhorse, Iraq, Feb. 18.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss improving food distribution throughout the province. It was also the first time all of the department leaders from the Diyala Ministry of Trade had met together with the Trade Minister.

“This meeting allowed the managers of various sectors – for example, the manager of the grain silo, the manager of the sales mall, the managers of the warehouses – to find out where their common problems are and to address them,” said PRT leader John Jones.

During the meeting, department heads discussed what they do, what challenges they face and what needs they have to effectively run their organizations. The ministers also discussed improving communication between the departments, the ministry, the governor’s office and provincial council. A recent joint Iraqi army and coalition forces operation resulted in the re-opening of a key route between Baghdad and Baqubah, which helped bring in more food to the province.
