Drug Treatment in Afghanistan: The Overall Impact and Sustainability of More Than $50 Million in Department of State Projects is Unknown

Abstract

WHAT SIGAR REVIEWED. Since 2002, stemming Afghanistans drug production and trade has been an important goal of the United States. To that end, the U.S. government has spent more than $8.9 billion on counternarcotics efforts. The Department of States (State) Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) plays a role in the counternarcotics mission in Afghanistan, which includes work to address drug use and addiction. INL has worked with the Afghan government and international organizations, such as the Colombo Plan and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), since 2007 to establish a drug treatment program that includes operating and maintaining drug treatment centers, developing international drug treatment models and curricula, recruiting and training Afghan clinical staff, and funding clinical and nonclinical staff salaries.
