Civilian Administrator of Iraq
- Civilian Administrator of Iraq
The Civilian Administrator of Iraq was appointed by the President of the United States as a provisional governing officer in the occupied territory of Iraq, as head of the Coalition Provisional Authority. He held control of coalition spending and reconstruction efforts and reported directly to the US Secretary of Defense.
The post was established following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, after the Director of the Office for Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance, Jay Garner, handed over control to the CPA. The post was dissolved on June 28, 2004 once limited political sovereignty was returned to Iraq.
The Wall Street Journal described the US Civilian Administrator of Iraq as a "modern proconsul".
