BACKGROUND

Integrity Watch is an Afghan civil society organization committed to increase transparency, accountability,
and integrity in Afghanistan.

The mission of Integrity Watch is to put corruption under the spotlight through community monitoring,
independent assessments, research, and advocacy. Integrity Watch’s work has four major components: (1)
Community Monitoring, (2) Independent Assessments (3) Research, and (4) Advocacy. We mobilize and
train communities to monitor infrastructure projects, public services, courts, and extractives industries.
We evaluate proper use and efficiency of aids, provide policy-oriented research, facilitate policy dialogue,
and advocate for integrity, transparency, and accountability in Afghanistan.

Integrity Watch was created in October 2005 and established itself as an independent civil society
organization in 2006. It has approximately 80 staff members and 1400 volunteers. The head office of
Integrity Watch is in Kabul with provincial programmatic outreach in Badakhshan, Balkh, Bamyan, Ghor,
Herat, Kabul, Kapisa, Logar, Nangarhar, Parwan, Panjshir, Samangan, and Wardak.

PROGRAM SUMMARY

Reconstruction Assessment Program (RECAP) is an Integrity Watch program which focuses on assessment
of infrastructure and development aid projects. At RECAP, we perform independent engineering
evaluations of on-going and completed infrastructure projects, operation and maintenance inspection of
public facilities and impact assessment of national development projects.
ReCAP works closely with SIGAR (Special Inspection General for Afghanistan Reconstruction) to provide
independent and objective inspections of Afghanistan reconstruction projects. In addition to this, ReCAP
also manages the Construction Sector Transparency Initiative (CoST) establishment in Afghanistan. CoST
aims to improve the value for money spent on public infrastructure by increasing transparency in the
delivery of public sector construction projects.
