Oversight of USAID and State Department Reconstruction Efforts in Afghanistan

Abstract

I am pleased to be here today to discuss oversight of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Department of State (State) reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan. As of March 31, 2014, cumulative appropriations for relief and reconstruction in Afghanistan totaled approximately $103.17 billion. Combined, approximately $22 billion from these appropriated funds have been allocated to USAID and State - USAID, $17.53 billion and State, $4.42 billion - to help rebuild Afghanistan through a wide range of projects and programs in areas such as healthcare, education, agriculture, counter-narcotics, and rule of law/anti-corruption. USAID receives the vast majority of its funds through the Economic Support Fund; State primarily receives its funds through the International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement Fund. (See appendices I and II for additional information on appropriations, obligations, and disbursements in the Economic Support Fund and the International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement Fund.)
