Increased Visibility, Monitoring, and Planning Needed for Commander's Emergency Response Program in Afghanistan

Abstract

This report presents the results of our review of controls and accountability for the Commander's Emergency Response Program in Afghanistan (CERP). CERP is an important tool for Commanders, generally intended to fund small-scale projects that can be sustained by the local population or government, and respond to urgent humanitarian relief and reconstruction needs. In May 2009, USFOR-A assumed responsibility for CERP. This report includes three recommendations for USFOR-A to improve the management of CERP and ensure sufficient oversight of funds.
