IRI further developed the capacity of the parliament's Research Directorate (RD), increasing requests made of the RD by parliamentarians five-fold between 2006 and the end of 2010. IRI has supported Iraq's nascent public policy think tank community, sponsoring the research and publication of academic articles and the convening of conferences on topics of public interest. Since the beginning of the grant, the think tank community has gained considerable acceptance among government circles: Prime Minister Maliki has attended IRI-sponsored think tank events, and the Basra Provincial Council completed a project signed with one of IRI's partners to conduct an independent assessment of the council's work. With this grant IRI has assisted a wide range of civil society advocacy campaigns, most successfully an initiative to lower the age of candidacy from 30 to 25; this proposal was accepted by the Kurdistan Regional Government after over a year of advocacy work by IRI partners, and today four percent of the Kurdistan parliament is under the age of 30. Finally, IRI used this grant to support elections-related work, training well over 5,000 candidates and political activists competing in the March 2010 elections, distributing 4.2 million educational mock ballots, and airing 3.6 hours of educational television programming per night in the final ten days before the election. The result: IRI-trained candidates were twice as likely to win seats as the national average, and voter turnout in the eight provinces most targeted by IRI was five percent higher than the national average. 7777136 Increased Electoral Participation in Afghanistan (USAID Via CEPPS 306-A-00-08-00529-00 8180):IRI Afghanistan supports the Afghan political process by promoting citizen political participation and improving the capacity of independent candidates to effectively run for elective office. Increased Afghan electoral participation is promoted by training candidates and members of issue-based coalitions across the country. By the end of September 2010, IRI supported issue-based coalitions reached a combined membership of more than 150,000 Afghans with representation in 90 percent of all districts throughout the country. For the Parliamentary elections in September 2010, IRI fielded an election observation mission which relied on real time reporting via mobile telephone call-in to an automated tracking system from 160 Afghan observers and five teams of expatriate observers dispersed across 12 provinces. Complementary to these initiatives, IRI directed media programs to educate Afghans about their electoral process and conducted both quantitative and qualitative public opinion research to assess Afghan sentiment. With the elections now past, IRI will work to maintain the growth of its supported social movements and improve their organizational capacity to engage in future elections and promote priorities before the parliament once seated. IRI will continue to engage the memberships of social movements in training at Afghan Campaign Academy workshops focused on improving civic engagement and will increasingly look to build organizational capacity. 5660233 IRAQ Post-Election Initiatives (DOS S-LMAQM-10-GR-535 6984):Under this broad grant, IRI works with political actors throughout Iraq, including new leadership at the provincial level, political parties, civil society organizations and academic think tanks, to strengthen and expand democratic institutions nationwide. IRI has focused its work on instituting greater synergy among its various partners, bringing greater accountability and transparency to government, and increasing effectiveness in legislative drafting. To date, IRI has funded 115 town hall meetings through this grant, facilitating dialogue between Iraqi elected officials and their constituents. Through these events, IRI civil society partners have empowered over 6,000 Iraqis to hold their government accountable, and tangible local governance improvements have begun to be seen. With funds from this grant, IRI has continued to train political parties on the importance of public opinion research, which encourages more sophisticated political party outreach. As a results of these trainings, two political parties in the Kurdistan region of Iraq have taken steps towards establishing their own internal polling capacity. 48813629 1432767 other programs for Sudan, Uganda, Peru, Cuba, Syria, China, Mali, Burma, Belarus, Serbia, Burma, South Africa, Colombia, Mexico, Ukraine, Cambodia, and other countries. 48813629 1432767 75066840 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 75 0 1 291 1 0 1 AF AL AO AJ BG BL BK CB CH CO TT ES GG GT ID IZ JO KZ KE KG LE LH MK MX MD MG MO NU NI MU PK PE RS LO SF SU TU UG UP VE OC 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 27 27 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AK AL AR AZ CA CO CT FL GA IL KS KY MA MD ME MI MN MS NC ND NH NJ NM NY OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WI WV DC HI X Sonya Vekstein CFO 2024089450 1225 Eye Street NW Suite 700 Washington DC 20005 Senator John McCain 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Peter T Madigan 1.00 X X 0 0 0 J William Middendorf II 1.00 X X 0 0 0 thomas M Barba 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Gahl Hodges Burt 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lawrence S Eagleburger 1.00 X 0 0 0 Frank J Fahrenkopf Jr 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alison B Fortier 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cheryl F Halpern 1.00 X 0 0 0 William J Hybl 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Kolbe 1.00 X 0 0 0 MiCHAEL KOSTIW 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stephan m minikes 1.00 X 0 0 0 Janet G Mullins Grissom 1.00 X 0 0 0 Constance Berry Newman 1.00 X 0 0 0 Alec L Poitevint II 1.00 X 0 0 0 John FW Rogers 1.00 X 0 0 0 Randy Scheunemann 1.00 X 0 0 0 joseph R Schmuckler 1.00 X 0 0 0 brent Scowcroft 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gordon Smith 1.00 X 0 0 0 margaret Tutwiler 1.00 X 0 0 0 olin L Wethington 1.00 X 0 0 0 richard Williamson 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Dreier 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lindsey Graham 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kay Granger 1.00 X 0 0 0 Lorne W Craner 40.00 X 213055 0 33330 Judy Van Rest 40.00 X 162391 0 21449 Daniel Fisk 40.00 X 27165 0 325 Georges A FAuriol 40.00 X 131110 0 23915 Elizabeth Dugan 40.00 X 137699 0 12883 Harold W Collamer 40.00 X 157457 0 16126 Sonya Vekstein 40.00 X 143122 0 26580 Thomas Garrett 40.00 X 138968 0 17745 Johanna Kao 40.00 X 172299 0 17905 Hans Holzen 40.00 X 149515 0 13793 Robert A Varsalone II 40.00 X 135242 0 23242 Stephen Nix 40.00 X 132475 0 24951 Jan Surotchak 40.00 X 127997 0 20546 1828495 0 252790 34 0 1 0 Greystone Limited Whitepark House Whitepark Rd Brdigetown BB Security 10695643 Blackwater Security PO Box 1029 Moyock NC 27958 Security 7322043 Moby media FZ-LLC PO Box 502595 Dubai AE Media Services 1534720 Pilgrims Group Limited Links Business Centre Old Woking R Woking surry UK security 1075775 Ardan Energy Services PO Box 262286 dubai AE security 1011794 43 287525 85142213 28575 85458313 920 920 20115 287525 193068 -172953 -172953 85286280 0 0 -172033 250000 250000 1323780 1323780 1249844 820100 429744 10599290 6982259 3617031 1049629 674557 375072 2978757 1914335 1064422 980326 630019 350307 160410 62624 97786 137822 41548 96274 50000 50000 16940718 16852967 70251 17500 7671 5971 1700 2911989 2641957 270032 822126 555313 266813 6359368 4128974 2230394 12594989 12194608 400381 3207196 3139776 67420 247157 247157 549562 248236 301326 security services 13605636 13605636 0 field office 6072361 6072361 0 polling 1706804 1706804 0 equipment rental/mainte 1347793 1187493 160300 publications & subscrip 107533 49067 58466 84370 -21545 105915 85345131 75066840 10210791 67500 4600 4600 6631109 4184298 3674833 3845004 818586 1071243 871722 861536 1870871 967909 476136 902962 144219 350040 12621205 11219683 6566463 5668289 730339 690937 1945018 1522556 527914 545281 9769734 8427063 X 2720243 2663812 131228 128808 2851471 2792620 12621205 11219683 X 0 1 1 X 1 1 X 79140182 75160367 81724752 96131650 85478428 417635379 79140182 75160367 81724752 96131650 85478428 417635379 417635379 14737 47536 56212 5979 920 125384 417760763 0.99970 0.99960 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 632058 378357 253701 986571 465279 521292 252242 124273 127969 902962 deferred rent 545281 545281 85286280 85345131 -58851 0 -58851 86463450 984102 193068 1177170 85286280 0 85286280 86522301 984102 193068 1177170 85345131 0 85345131 Part X: Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: Management evaluated IRI's tax positions and concluded that IRI had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.
