The entity stated on Wednesday that its activities, after 17 years, will cease at the end of January.


SIGAR was established in 2008 with the approval of the U.S. Congress, and its mission was to oversee U.S. assistance and expenditures in Afghanistan.


The entity announced via a post on the social network X that January 31 will be its last working day and expressed gratitude to its colleagues and followers.


Previously, SIGAR had requested the termination of its mission due to reduced U.S. assistance and proposed that oversight of U.S. aid to Afghanistan be transferred to the U.S. Agency for International Development starting from fiscal year 2026.


During its years of operation, SIGAR repeatedly exposed corruption and mismanagement in Afghanistan's reconstruction projects. In its latest report, the entity stated that the United States, even after withdrawing from Afghanistan, has remained the largest donor to the country and has provided $3.8 billion in assistance to Afghanistan under Taliban rule.


Nevertheless, the Donald Trump administration suspended aid to Afghanistan, and the U.S. State Department announced that this assistance was reaching the "terrorist Taliban."

The Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) announced that it will officially end its operations in two days.
