Integrity Watch Afghanistan Visits Congress
3P hosted the Afghan NGO Integrity Watch Afghanistan visit
to Washington DC, setting up meetings for their Director of Policy and Communications Karolina
Olofsson.
The U.S. has an important role in supporting community-based
corruption monitoring by requiring contractors to share information with local
communities who can hold them to account for reconstruction projects. Corruption
is a central issue in Afghanistan; one that needs to be addressed so the
country can move from war to peace.
