Bridges In Kabul Province, Afghanistan: Six Bridges Are In Generally Good Condition, But Afghan Government Lacks Budget For Sustained Maintenance

Abstract

DOD established the Commanders Emergency Response Program (CERP) in fiscal year 2004 to enable military commanders to respond to urgent humanitarian relief and reconstruction requirements in Iraq and Afghanistan.1 In Afghanistan, CERP funds were used to implement projects in all 34 provinces to support projects in diverse sectors, including transportation, education, agriculture/irrigation, healthcare, and water and sanitation. CERP was intended for small projects that cost less than $500,000. CERP projects that cost more than $500,000 were also authorized when approved at the appropriate level within DOD.
