According to US Congress figures, aid provided to ‎Afghanistan has become the costliest effort United States has ‎ever committed to a single country in its history.‎ Yet according ‎to World Bank estimates in year 2013, Afghanistan will need ‎more than $7 billion in next decade to be able in to sustaining ‎and funding security forces, keep reconstruction gains and fill ‎the gap between revenues of government and operations and ‎maintenance expenses.‎ Reconstruction has cost United States to spend ‎approximately more than $822 billion ‎, figures in 20th February, ‎‎2020 indicate these enormous funds were used to build National ‎Army of Afghanistan, for good governance, conducting ‎development assistance and engaging in counter narcotics and ‎anti-corruption in which Afghanistan is believed to be on top of ‎the list.‎ ‎ But when investigations on effectiveness of aid are put ‎on, reconstruction aid has been destructive and not only useless ‎to the people of Afghanistan.‎ ‎ Most of the aid has been spent ‎only on security related areas.
