McClennen 2:45 "Afghanistan: The Bridge to Everywhere" 33:40 Q&A Sarah Chayes is internationally recognized for her innovative thinking on corruption and its implications. From 1996 to 2001, Chayes worked as NPR’s Paris correspondent and was awarded the 1999 Foreign Press Club and Sigma Delta Chi awards for her work during the Kosovo crisis. She covered the fall of the Taliban in 2001, which led her to leave her career in journalism in 2002 to help rebuild the country, settling in Kandahar. In 2005, Chayes founded a manufacturing cooperative in Kandahar called Arghand, which allowed men and women to work together to develop skin-care products. Later, Chayes served as a special assistant to the top U.S. military officer, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen. This work was focused on governance issues and allowed her to participate in high-level decision-making on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Arab Spring. At the end of the early 2000s, Chayes worked as a special adviser to two commanders of the international troops in Afghanistan (ISAF). After this, she became a senior fellow at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, working for the Democracy, Conflict, and Governance program. She is the author of Thieves of State: Why Corruption Threatens Global Security.
