Description

Congress has provided almost $20 billion for development efforts in Afghanistan since 2002 through four main programs or accounts administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Depts. of Defense (DOD) and State. These efforts are a key component of the U.S. civilian-military strategic framework focused on countering insurgents in Afghanistan. Given the volume and multifaceted nature of U.S. support for Afghan development, it is essential that agencies streamline their efforts to reduce unnecessary overlap and duplication. This report examines (1) the extent to which U.S. agenciesäó» development efforts overlap; (2) the extent to which USAID and DODäó»s Commanderäó»s Emergency Response Program (CERP) may have conducted duplicative activities; and (3) the mechanisms that U.S. agencies have used to enhance coordination of their development efforts, in Afghanistan. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
