3.12 Corruption. Corruption across Afghanistan’s public and private sectors
represents a threat to the success of ISAF’s/RS’s mission and the legitimacy of the
Afghan government. It serves as a barrier to Afghanistan’s economic growth by
robbing the state of revenue and preventing the development of a stable economy.
Corruption also threatens the process of transition, as institutions weakened by
corruption are less able to take over responsibility for security and governance.
a) Corruption, defined by the World Bank as the abuse of public office for private
gain, undermines the effectiveness of Afghanistan’s government and security
forces, allows criminal networks to fill power vacuums left by weak governance,
fuels discontent among the population, and contributes to both active and passive
support for the insurgency. The impact of corruption includes an increased risk
of state failure, increased support to the insurgency, decreased support from the
International Community, and increased negative Afghan views of GIRoA.
b) ISAF/RS’s Transparency, Accountability, and Oversight (TAO) (EF 2) mission
is to support Afghanistan’s development of the security ministries (MoD and
MoI), which must be viewed as legitimate and credible government institutions to
set the conditions for self-regulating oversight of the ASI and ANSF. COMISAF
has three desired effects for the TAO mission across the theater: protecting
international donor funds while ensuring the Coalition does not fuel corruption,
ensuring transparency and accountability of funding to the ANSF, and combating
predatory/egregious corruption.
c) The advisor may observe corruption, such as the abuse of entrusted power
for personal gain. Corrupt acts could include an Afghan senior leader showing
favoritism based
upon family/
tribal affiliation
(nepotism),
misusing
government
property and
revenue, theft
of public assets,
fraud, and bribery.
Bribery involving
promotions,
assignments,
contracts, or
training is the
most prevalent
type of corruption
