A former reporter,
she covered the fall of the Taliban for NPR, then left journalism to
remain in Kandahar in order to contribute to the reconstruction of the
country, living there almost continuously since December 2001.
Deeply
embedded in the life of the city and fluent in Pashtu, Chayes gained a
unique perspective on the unfolding war.
An expert on the dynamics of severe corruption, Sarah Chayes lived for
most of a decade in Kandahar, Afghanistan, before serving as special
assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
She now
researches the role of corruption in driving security crises.
Chayes is a senior associate in the Democracy and Rule of Law Program
and the South Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment.
She is an expert
in South Asia policy, kleptocracy and anti-corruption, and civil-military
relations.
She is working on correlations between acute public corruption and the
rise of militant extremism.
After running a nongovernmental organization founded by President
Karzai’s brother Qayum, Chayes launched a manufacturing cooperative that
produces skin-care products for export from licit local agriculture.
The goals were to help revive the region’s historic role in exporting
fruit and its derivatives, promote sustainable development, and expand
alternatives to the opium economy.
