Alert Letter: Structural Damage at Educational Facility SR-09
Abstract
I am writing to alert you to a safety matter that warrants action by your agency. At one school building in the Puli Khumri district of Baghlan province (referred to herein as SR-09), a school that was rehabilitated by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) under a cooperative agreement with USAID is currently in use and poses a serious danger to students, teachers, and anyone else in or near the school due to severe structural deterioration. In short, the building is in danger of collapsing. As you know, SIGAR is engaged in efforts to determine the operational condition of schools constructed or renovated by USAID in provinces throughout Afghanistan. As part of this effort, we visited Baghlan facility SR-09 in December 2017. While our site inspection focused on assessing the overall operating conditions at the facility, we also completed a basic safety review of the structural integrity of classroom buildings at SR-09 that included the collection of photographic documentation.
