The United States has provided Pakistan, a key ally in the war on terror, more than $10 billion in funds and assistance. Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas' (FATA) rugged terrain, poor economic conditions, low literacy, underdeveloped infrastructure, and unique legal structure, all add to the complexity of efforts to address the terrorist threat in the FATA. This testimony discusses the (1) progress of U.S. national security goals in the FATA, (2) status of U.S. efforts to develop a comprehensive plan, and (3) oversight of U.S. Coalition Support Funds (CSF) provided to Pakistan. The testimony is based on recent reports on the status of a comprehensive plan (GAO-08-622) and preliminary observations on the use and oversight of U.S. CSF (GAO-08-735R). https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-820T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-820T.htm GAO-08-820T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-820T Testimony GAO-08-820T; Combating Terrorism: U.S. Efforts to Address the Terrorist Threat in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas Require a Comprehensive Plan and Continued Oversight; Combating terrorism Counterterrorism Defense capabilities Embassies Federal aid to foreign countries Federal intelligence agencies Foreign financial assistance Foreign governments Foreign military assistance Homeland security Interagency relations International cooperation International organizations International relations Military intelligence National defense operations Program evaluation Program management Public diplomacy Security investigations Security policies Security threats Strategic planning Terrorism Funds management Foreign countries Program goals or objectives Security operations Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Pakistan) Public Law 108-458 Public Law 110-53
