U.S. Embassy Baghdad, Iraq - Provincial Reconstruction Teams

Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) are joint civilian-military diplomatic outposts dedicated to helping Iraqis at the provincial level to develop and sustain capacity in four key areas: Governance & Rule of Law, Economic Development, Education & Culture, and Public Health.  PRTs are found in 15 of Iraq’s 18 provinces, while a Regional Reconstruction Team in Erbil covers the three northernmost provinces.   Led by a senior officer from the Department of State, teams include military advisors, as well as members from other U.S. government agencies such as USAID and the Departments of Agriculture and Justice.
