Following the withdrawal, the Taliban swiftly seized control of Afghanistan. They also set up more than 1,000 non-profit organizations, asserting that their goal was to advance humanitarian initiatives. However, the SIGAR report indicates that these organizations may have served as fronts to obtain and redirect further funding. The report highlights that the failure of DRL and INL to adhere to partner vetting requirements raised concerns about the potential misappropriation of funds by unidentified individuals or their transfer to groups affiliated with the Taliban.
