U.S. Lost $60 Million on Afghan Power Project That Doesn't Work

U.S. Lost $60 Million on Afghan Power Project That Doesn't Work: 

Congress created the oversight office in 2008 to monitor billions that were being appropriated to bring relief and reconstruction to the war-torn nation. Since its creation, the SIGAR has repeatedly found examples of how America’s good intentions have gone awry.

The report released Wednesday focused on what the SIGAR called the Corps of Engineers “mismanagement” of $60 million in a project called the North East Power System (NEPS III), which was intended to bring power to underserved areas of Afghanistan, and consolidate the national grid.
