US has no anti-corruption strategy for Afghan reconstruction

American officials have no strategy for fighting corruption in one of the most corrupt countries in the world despite spending $96 billion in a dozen years on Afghan reconstruction, according to a government watchdog.

“We found that the U.S. anti-corruption activities in Afghanistan are not guided by a comprehensive U.S. strategy or related guidance that defines clear goals and objectives for U.S efforts to strengthen the Afghan government’s capability to combat corruption and increase accountability,” said John Sopko, special inspector general for Afghan reconstruction, in a report made public Wednesday.
