CoESPU ONSITE VISITS

SPECIAL INSPECTOR GENERAL FOR AFGHANISTAN RECONSTRUCTION (SIGAR)
st
11 September, 2018.

The CoESPU Director, Gen. B. Giovanni Pietro
Barbano, has greeted a delegation of the
“Special Inspector General for Afghanistan
Reconstruction” (SIGAR).
In 2012 the USA Congress created the “Special
Inspector General for Afghanistan
Reconstruction” to provide independent and
objective oversight of Afghanistan
reconstruction projects and activities.
The Office, headquartered in Arlington
(Virginia), with a domicile in Kabul, conducts
audits and investigations to promote efficiency
and effectiveness of reconstruction programs and
to detect and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse.
After an Office Call with the Director, Mr. Gene
Aloise (Deputy Inspector General), and Mr. James
M. Cunningham (Project Leader/Lead Analyst,
Lessons Learned Directorate), visited the
Compound to get familiar with the activities of the
Center of Excellence for Stability Police Units.
The cooperation between CoESPU and SIGAR
started last 2017, and will continue within the
framework of the Semiannual Talks with the USA Department of State and the Department of
Peacekeeping Operation.
