On a very personal note, whenever I found myself stuck professionally, I found that it helped to look around, grab something to do, and try it with everything that one had for as long as one could. This led to starting in steel, moving to systems and then to defence systems, to teaching and finally to financial consultancy. My profile doesn't look the smooth, slick well-planned one that HR mavens like to see, but it's a survivors' profile.

My thruppence.

What did we expect? Success in opiumland LOL

Afghan garbage hates Pakistan, but wants to live among us. Too bad considering we have 30 to go.

Man everybody gets students like that but that free tuition banner. Lolzz.

It never is. It never ever is. I have learned that a lot of times the grass standing on is pretty greener than others.

And you will notice how in a very pakistani loving way the three of us became closer which is a thousand times more rewarding than some on topic post and it is we who did it.

No mod should give warning for this.
 
A report by the US Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction says a program by the Defense Department of the United States has spent $675 million USD to revive the Afghan economy, but it could not provide reliable data on where the money went.

“DOD was unable to provide reliable data showing the extent to which TFBSO projects created jobs, facilitated foreign direct investments, increased exports, or increased Afghan government revenues,” the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) said in the report titled DOD Task Force for Business and Stability Operations (TFBSO).

TFBSO's purpose was to fund business-related projects to reduce violence by encouraging Afghans to focus on economic activity rather that fighting. However, the SIGAR report, showed the program to be inept and beyond the Defense Department's capabilities.

"Because important documents and data were not consistently collected or retained, we could not fully assess the extent to which the $675 million obligated by TFBSO was spent effectively," the report said.

TFBSO often had unrealistic expectations in project execution and it failed to account for local factors including politics, culture, weather, and security, SIGAR said.

Much of the $70 billion spent to train Afghan armed forces has been wasted. Here’s how to do better.

The report says that TFBSO did not clearly articulate its intended mission, objectives, and strategy until more than 2.5 years after it entered Afghanistan.

TFBSO’s lack of a strategy, coupled with the confrontational style of TFBSO’s early leadership and a lack of policy direction from State and U.S. Forces-Afghanistan (USFORA), brought it into almost immediate conflict with USAID and State, and also strained TFBSO’s early relationship with the Commander of USFOR-A.

Furthermore, TFBSO did not consistently coordinate its activities with other US government stakeholders in Afghanistan—namely State, USAID, and USFOR-A—leading to conflicting projects and wasted money.

TFBSO’s poor coordination with other agencies diminished its ability to align its activities with the priorities of the USFOR-A Commander and the US Ambassador to Afghanistan.

SIGAR says that it has reviewed the following specifications in the report.

The Task Force for Business and Stability Operations (TFBSO) was a temporary organization created by the Department of Defense (DOD) to support operations in Iraq.

However, in 2009, DOD redirected TFBSO to carry out economic development projects in Afghanistan. TFBSO operated in Afghanistan from 2010 through 2014. Congress appropriated approximately $823 million for TFBSO operations in Afghanistan, and according to contracts we were able to review, TFBSO obligated more than $675 million in contracts.

Of that amount, $316.3 million was obligated in direct support of projects related to agriculture, banking, oil and gas, indigenous industries, and mining. Of the remaining $359.5 million, approximately $299.8 million was obligated on indirect costs in support of TFBSO’s projects and $59.7 million on general and administrative costs.

SIGAR conducted this audit at the request of Senator Charles E. Grassley and then-Senator Kelly A. Ayotte. They sent separate letters in January 2016 requesting that SIGAR conduct a comprehensive performance audit of all TFBSO programs and activities in Afghanistan.

Number one reason why Afghanistan will never see peace, nor can US deliver it, with or without Pakistan's help: the Afghan government is corrupt, incompetent and untrustworthy. If US wants to see progress in Afghanistan it should start by jettisoning the current mafia that runs Kabul.

Afghanistan is less of a nation than a collection of fiefdoms. It's a country that lacks national cohesion of any kind. People are only loyal to their clans and that's it.

I hate to bring it you. Even the clans settle scores by mass murder. Afghanistan is cursed.
