Increases in Security Costs Are Likely under the Afghan Public Protection Force; USAID Needs to Monitor Costs and Ensure Unlicensed Security Providers Are Not Used

Abstract

During fiscal years 2009 through 2011, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) provided more than $4.2 billion to its implementing partners to carry out reconstruction and development assistance programs in Afghanistan. SIGAR's objectives were to assess (1) the costs and the number of personnel and vehicles associated with PSCs for selected USAID projects during fiscal years 2009 through 2011 and (2) the potential costs related to the transition of security services from PSCs to the AFFP and the plans of implementing partners after the transition.
