A government watchdog wants to know what the U.S. Agency for International Development plans to do with a $416 million effort to promote gender equality in Afghanistan, especially in light of the agency’s prior mismanagement of many similar programs.

John Sopko, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, pressed USAID for details about the plans in a letter made public Thursday to acting USAID head Alfonso Lenhardt. Lenhardt has served as the interim administrator of the agency since Rajiv Shah stepped down in February.
