High-Risk List
Abstract
The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) has created the High-Risk List to call attention to program areas and elements of the U.S.-funded reconstruction effort in Afghanistan that are especially vulnerable to significant waste, fraud, and abuse. With the list, SIGAR seeks to identify and address systemic problems facing U.S.-funded reconstruction efforts. The list will highlight program areas on which SIGAR believes the implementing agencies need to focus. It will also discuss how specific agencies are failing to mitigate risks in areas that involve their operations. Congress created SIGAR in 2008 via Public Law 110-181 as an independent inspector-general body tasked with oversight of all aspects of the U.S. reconstruction effort in Afghanistan. The High-Risk List also will serve as an internal planning tool for SIGAR to guide its oversight work and build a body of knowledge necessary to develop macro-level recommendations to help Congress and the agencies correct major problems. It proposes key questions to help Congress, U.S. agencies, and the public improve reconstruction programs.It should also assist the new Afghan national unity government in implementing its reform agenda. There are numerous reconstruction challenges in Afghanistan.
