| 摘要： | The Afghan government, the United States, and other donors consider road reconstruction a top development priority for Afghanistan. Almost 20 percent of the U.S. Agency for International Development's (USAID) $5.9 billion in assistance to Afghanistan has been for roads. The Department of Defense (Defense) has committed about $560 million for roads, of which Commander's Emergency Response Program (CERP) funds account for over half. GAO examined (1) the status of road reconstruction and challenges affecting project implementation, (2) U.S. agencies' efforts to evaluate the impact of road projects, and (3) efforts to develop a sustainable road maintenance program. GAO reviewed U.S. and Afghan governments' planning, evaluation, and funding documents and interviewed relevant stakeholders in Afghanistan. GAO recommends that the USAID Administrator (1) take steps to improve its framework for assessing results, (2) conduct impact evaluations in coordination with other donors, and (3) work with the Afghan government to address and fund maintenance of roads. GAO also recommends that the Secretary of Defense (1) require impact evaluations of its CERP-funded road projects where applicable, and (2) ensure that information on CERP-funded roads is reported to a USAID database, as required by CERP guidance. USAID and Defense agreed with our recommendations and have begun taking steps to implement them. / Supplementary Notes: required by CERP guidance.
