House U.S. House of Representatives and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-07-02 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its creation in 2008, SIGAR has issued 37 inspection reports examining 45 DOD reconstruction projects with a combined value of about $1.1 billion. The projects were located in 15 of Afghanistan's 34 provinces, and included 16 Afghan National Police (ANP) and 13 Afghan National Army (ANA) bases, 5 schools, 3 medical facilities, 3 incinerator locations, 2 storage facilities, 1 road, 1 bridge, and 1 electrical plant. These projects do not constitute a representative sample of all DOD reconstruction projects. As a result, we do not use our findings to draw conclusions about the full population of DOD reconstruction projects. However, our findings provide valuable insight into the varying quality of projects that exist and the reasons for these project outcomes. Figure 1 shows the location of each of the 45 DOD reconstruction projects we inspected.

Obama in Dec. 2009. The U.S. military and civilian surge is intended to create an 18-month window of opportunity to strengthen the Afghan government¿s ability to provide for its security and deliver essential services to its people. The U.S. gov¿t. needs to improve the way it designs and implements reconstruction programs. More attention must be paid in these 4 areas: matching the appropriate human and financial resources to achieve policy objectives; developing metrics to measure project and program results to ensure that reconstruction goals are being met; providing better oversight of contractors; and increasing efforts to deter corruption.

This book was released on 2010-01 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afghanistan and Pakistan are two of the most urgent issues facing this Admin. and this Congress. In March 2009, the Pres. announced a strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, with a goal of disrupting, dismantling, and defeating Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan; destroying its allies and safe havens in Pakistan; and preventing their return to Pakistan or Afghanistan. With additional U.S. resources and attention focusing on Afghanistan and Pakistan, there will be additional oversight to ensure the accountability of U.S. efforts. This testimony addresses: (1) oversight of U.S. efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan; (2) how this oversight coordinates with colleagues in the accountability community; and (3) some of the challenges carrying out this oversight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quarterly report for July 30, 2013 on the status of the U.S.-funded reconstruction effort in Afghanistan issued by the Special Inspector Gen. for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) shows that with a renewed dedication to the critical oversight mission in Afghanistan, SIGAR had the most productive quarter since Congress created the agency in 2008. More than 30 audits, inspections, alert letters, and other reports were issued. SIGAR maintains the largest international oversight force in Afghanistan because there is no substitute for in-person oversight of U.S.-funded reconstruction programs; that is the best way to protect the approximately $20 billion of reconstructon funding that has yet to be disbursed. Contents of this report: Contract Oversight; SIGAR Oversight Activities; Reconstruction Update; Other Agency Oversight. Figures and tables.

This book was released on 2015-01-19 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2015 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Current Interest. "I can’t imagine a more important book for our time." —Sebastian Junger The world is blowing up. Every day a new blaze seems to ignite: the bloody implosion of Iraq and Syria; the East-West standoff in Ukraine; abducted schoolgirls in Nigeria. Is there some thread tying these frightening international security crises together? In a riveting account that weaves history with fast-moving reportage and insider accounts from the Afghanistan war, Sarah Chayes identifies the unexpected link: corruption. Since the late 1990s, corruption has reached such an extent that some governments resemble glorified criminal gangs, bent solely on their own enrichment. These kleptocrats drive indignant populations to extremes—ranging from revolution to militant puritanical religion. Chayes plunges readers into some of the most venal environments on earth and examines what emerges: Afghans returning to the Taliban, Egyptians overthrowing the Mubarak government (but also redesigning Al-Qaeda), and Nigerians embracing both radical evangelical Christianity and the Islamist terror group Boko Haram. In many such places, rigid moral codes are put forth as an antidote to the collapse of public integrity. The pattern, moreover, pervades history. Through deep archival research, Chayes reveals that canonical political thinkers such as John Locke and Machiavelli, as well as the great medieval Islamic statesman Nizam al-Mulk, all named corruption as a threat to the realm. In a thrilling argument connecting the Protestant Reformation to the Arab Spring, Thieves of State presents a powerful new way to understand global extremism. And it makes a compelling case that we must confront corruption, for it is a cause—not a result—of global instability.
