Summary:

This report examines the use of management information systems at key U.S. agencies and commands to track and report on reconstruction activities in Afghanistan. Several agencies and commands--the State Department, U.S. Embassy Kabul; the U.S. Agency for International Development; U.S. Central Command; U.S. Forces--Afghanistan and Combined Security Transition Command - Afghanistan; and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Afghanistan Engineer District--serve a key role in the implementation of U.S.-funded reconstruction, security, and development programs in Afghanistan. Based on SIGAR's findings, we concluded that an integrated management information system for all U.S. reconstruction activities in Afghanistan would provide essential information for decision-makers and stakeholders to better plan, coordinate, monitor, and report on U.S. activities. We are recommending that the U.S. civilian agencies and military commands work together toward developing an interagency information management system for Afghanistan reconstruction.
