Reducing Waste, Improving Efficiencies, and Achieving Savings in U.S. Reconstruction of Afghanistan

Abstract

Congress has appropriated nearly $93 billion since 2002 to rebuild Afghanistan. For FY14, State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) have requested an additional $3.4 billion--more than is requested for any other nation. If approved, this request will bring the total amount of appropriated funds that remain to be spent in Afghanistan to more than $20 billion. It is the mission of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) to ensure that these funds are spent as effectively and efficiently as possible and that they are protected from waste, fraud, and abuse.
