The National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 110-181) established the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). SIGAR’s mission is to enhance oversight of programs for the reconstruction of Afghanistan by conducting independent and objective audits, inspections, and investigations on the use of taxpayer dollars and related funds and by keeping the Congress, as well as the Secretaries of State and Defense, currently informed of reconstruction progress and weaknesses. Afghanistan reconstruction includes any major contract, grant, agreement, or other funding mechanism entered into by any department or agency of the United States government that involves the use of amounts appropriated, or otherwise made available for the reconstruction of Afghanistan with any private entity to: (1) build or rebuild physical infrastructure in Afghanistan, (2) establish or reestablish political or societal institutions of Afghanistan, (3) provide products or services to the people of Afghanistan, or (4) provide security or other support functions to facilitate Afghanistan reconstruction efforts.
