The 2008 National Defense Authorization Act established the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR). SIGAR's mission is to provide independent oversight of the expenditure of funds appropriated for the reconstruction of Afghanistan; detect and deter fraud, waste, and abuse of U.S. funds; and promote actions to increase program efficiency and effectiveness. Afghanistan reconstruction includes U.S. government contracts to provide goods and services to the Afghan people, and often security services are needed either as a primary good (i.e. to build the Afghanistan National Security Forces) or as an accompaniment to U.S. personnel working to establish or reestablish political or societal institutions of Afghanistan.
