- USIP starts training Iraqi teams to administer the SENSE training program, an interactive, computer-supported program that teaches negotiation, coalition-building, and effective resource-allocation skills. Training continues for the next several years, with approximately 1,400 Iraqi government and civil society officials benefitting from the program by 2011.
- Following the adoption of Iraq’s Constitution, USIP begins working with national, regional, and provincial officials to refine and implement it, as many constitutional institutions remain to be established, mandated laws enacted, and certain fundamental rights, like the rights of women, adequately enforced.
