This report discusses the results of an audit of efforts of the Departments of Defense (DOD) and State (State) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to develop Afghanistanäó»s information and communications technology (ICT) sector. Revenues from the ICT sector could potentially provide over $1 billion annually to the Afghan governmentäó»s budget and reduce its reliance on foreign aid. DOD, State, and USAID have invested over $2.6 billion in the Afghan ICT sector since 2002. These funds largely supported the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces and the Afghan media, and aimed to increase the ICT capacity of various Afghan ministries. However, the full scope of U.S. efforts is unknown because the agencies were not required to track projects as specifically benefiting the ICT sector. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
