John Sopko, the former U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, stated in a VICE News interview that international organizations including the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and UN agencies benefited significantly from U.S. reconstruction funding in Afghanistan, with nearly 60 percent of reconstruction money funneled through such intermediaries. Afghan analysts and former officials echoed concerns that inadequate oversight and management allowed substantial portions of billions in aid to be wasted without reaching intended beneficiaries or producing sustainable outcomes.
