Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction

Abstract

This report provides a summary of SIGAR s oversight work and an update on developments in the three major sectors of Afghanistan s reconstruction effort. It also includes a discussion of the risks and uncertainties facing the country as the Coalition withdraws most of its troops in this pivotal year of military and political transition. During this reporting period, SIGAR published 25 audits, inspections, alert letters, and other reports assessing the U.S. efforts to build the Afghan security forces, improve governance, and facilitate economic and social development. These reports identified a number of problems, including weaknesses of management and oversight, poor planning, construction deficiencies, and other threats to health and safety. SIGAR investigations saved the U.S. government some $1.7 million, while criminal fines and restitutions brought about by SIGAR amounted to approximately $5.3 million. SIGAR investigations also resulted in three criminal informations, five plea agreements, and six sentencings in the United States and two subjects being arrested and charged in Afghanistan.
