SIGAR Publishes Quarterly Report to Congress

Report Features a 10-Year Retrospective on the U.S. Reconstruction Effort

Arlington, Va. - The Office of Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction today released its Quarterly Report to the U.S. Congress, featuring a comprehensive review of the 10-year U.S. reconstruction effort and a look forward to transition to Afghan-provided security. It includes: .

  • Sections on the three major periods of the reconstruction effort: The Bonn Conference, where major non-Taliban Afghan groups agreed in late 2001 on a path to democratic government; the reconstruction surge (2006-2011); and transition (2012-2014).
  • Descriptions of reconstruction achievements and persistent challenges.
  • Discussion of how SIGAR intends to ensure that its audits and investigations protect the U.S. investment from fraud and focus on programs most critical to the reconstruction effort.

SIGAR's quarterly reports provide updates on the agency's audits and investigations and the latest available facts on Afghan security, governance, economic and social development, and status of funds.
