Each post defines the procedures they will use to monitor the use of and assess the programmatic impact of the resources. Commodities are required to be monitored throughout their useful life. Resources provided for counter-narcotics and law enforcement activities under various Department of Defense (DOD) Authorities must be included in posts’ EUM programs and reports. Posts’ EUM reports must be submitted by January 31 of each year. Each report comments on the extent to which planned EUM procedures were followed during the previous year. Each report covers the location, use, condition and program impact of the assets, problems encountered in the course of the year's monitoring, and program changes implemented as a result of the EUM findings. This report covers data collected during calendar year 2005. - 3 - SOUTH AMERICA - 4 - ASUNCION Procedures The INL program assistant verified the National Anti-Drug Secretariat (SENAD) inventory report and in-house written inventory through a variety of methods including on-site inspection of local facilities. The status of commodities located in the outlying areas was verified by post’s review of SENAD's written inventory and through frequent inspections by DEA personnel. Status All items were provided to SENAD, the Financial Analysis Unit (SEPRELAD), the Special Investigations Unit (UTE), the Ministry of Industry and Commerce (MIC), and the Ministry of Woman’s Affairs. In addition, these government agencies maintain INL- provided commodities in several field locations including Ciudad del Este, Mariscal Estigarribia, Asuncion, and Pedro Juan Caballero. • Vehicles The SENAD received 7 new vehicles, raising to 21 the number of INL-funded vehicles. The vehicles range in model years from 1996 to 2005. They are in good condition and are used by SINAD for operational and interdiction purposes. SENAD also has 4 motorcycles, two boats with outboard motors and trailers. They are in average condition and require maintenance. The INL assistant is coordinating with SENAD for repairs. In 2005, three new vehicles were donated to UTE for operational and interdiction purposes. • Computer Equipment INL-funded computer equipment has been provided to UTE, SEPRELAD, SENAD, MIC, and the Ministry of Women’s Affairs. In 2005, INL provided 12 computer workstation, two printers, one video projector, two laptops, two flash drives, one copier, one server and software to upgrade the statistics unit of the MIC to bolster the ongoing IPR program. New computers were also purchased for the UTE and SEPRELAD in 2005. The INL assistant conducted period on-site visits to the various agencies to observe that the equipment was in use and functioning properly. • Detector Dogs INL funds support the detector dog program, which employs 11 dogs. INL funding provides veterinary care, food, new dogs, uniforms, and maintenance of the kennels and vehicles used to transport the canines and guides. The canine units are housed in kennels located at Silvio Petirrossi International Airport, Pedro Juan Caballero and Ciudad del Este. In 2005, the SENAD canine unit - 5 - seized 19 kilograms of cocaine and 120 kilograms of marijuana, primarily through interdiction operations in Asuncion at the International airport and in Ciudad del Este. • Communications Equipment All communications equipment was accounted for. In general, most of the equipment is in good condition. • Laboratory Equipment INL provided SENAD with new drug laboratory equipment. The equipment includes an auto-injector module for eight sampler turrets, an auto-sampler tray module and a Chem-Station PC bundle system. The drug laboratory played a key role in identifying the drugs, contributing to the conviction of drug traffickers. The SENAD Central Counter Drug Laboratory received an Agilent Gas Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometer System (GCMS) and a Gas Chromatograph Flame Ionization Device (GCFID) to support evidence processing in criminal drug cases. This lab equipment will support investigation procedures and help bring investigation standards closer to international standards. • Construction Projects INL initiated the construction of an operational office for SENAD in the northeast region. This project is designed to enhance the Government of Paraguay’s narcotics enforcement activities as it relates to other southern cone countries. This construction of the new facility is scheduled to be completed in July 2006. • Miscellaneous Equipment The office equipment is in good to excellent condition. In addition, an alarm system and access control readers were installed in SEPRELAD office facility to increase security in their sensitive and restricted areas. Impact All equipment and material support the SENAD, SEPRELAD, MIC, UTE, and the Ministry of Women’s Affairs. For SENAD, the communications equipment, vehicles, and canine program are aimed at bolstering the interdiction effort and operational capabilities. Furthermore, SENAD has continued to make advances in its drug enforcement activities, including the seizure of cocaine and marijuana and the destruction of marijuana crops. Assistance to SEPRELAD is focused on enhancing its investigation capabilities through the provision of technical equipment and software as well as training. For the MIC, - 6 - post’s assistance is dedicated to helping the IPR unit UTE increase its ability to conduct operations through the purchase of surveillance equipment, vehicles, and operational support. For the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, post’s support was used primarily to purchase computer and office equipment, support a public awareness campaign and the development of a manual for anti-Trafficking in Persons (TIP) efforts. This manual has explicitly identified responsibilities for prevention and prosecution. It has also defined the lead agency to be the Ministry of Women’s Affairs. The public awareness campaign and publicity seminars have informed the target audience about how to prevent becoming a victim. - 7 - BOGOTA Procedures The NAS held regular working meetings with the Government of Colombia (GOC) counterparts to discuss operations and the status of USG provided assets. Among those counterparts were the Colombian National Police (CNP) Anti-Narcotics Division (DIRAN), its aviation component (ARAVI), and the Colombian Army Aviation Unit (COLAR). These three entities received the bulk of INL-provided resources. The NAS requested selected GOC inventories of USG-provided equipment to compare with NAS records to verify the status of resources. Individual NAS program officers, in coordination with the NAS Deputy Management Officer, were responsible for the End Use Monitoring of support funded by their programs. Due to the differences in the size and scope of the various programs, there were a variety of systems used for this purpose, ranging from hand receipts to databases. Department of State and Department of Justice direct hire and contract (USPSC) personnel program managers and advisors provided input for this report, based on site visits. The NAS Management Section has an audit unit, staffed by six local national personnel, that assists program staff in conducting End Use Monitoring. This unit reviewed and implemented monitoring procedures, conducted inventories and audits, and oversaw the disposal of surplus materials. Additionally, the NAS has 1,300 American, Colombian, and third country national contract personnel employed under contracts with DynCorp; Lockheed-Martin, Aeronautical Radio, Inc. (ARINC), and Olgoonik Logistics LLC. These contract personnel are an integral part of the NAS programs and monitor the use of USG-provided equipment by conducting inventories and providing status reports on the use of program- provided assets. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA); Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF); Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE); Presidential Security Program (PSP); Bureau of Prisons (BOP); and the Justice Sector Reform Program (JSRP) have databases of all equipment donated to their counterpart agencies which identify items by brand, model, serial number, location, and condition. All agencies conducted random unscheduled visits to ensure that all USG-funded assets were accounted for and being used for their intended purposes.
