EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE for SECURITY SECTOR
It is the government’s belief that a secure environment is conducive to sustainable
development and peace restoration in Afghanistan. After the establishment of the
Afghan National Army (ANA) and the Afghan National Police (ANP), security of the
Afghan population has been high on the agenda of the GoA and the DPs. Our 10 year
analysis of data (2001-2010) indicates that on average 51% of aid money has been
invested in security. Therefore, it is no surprise to see that a huge portion (68 %)
of external assistance, disbursed in the year 2011, was allocated to finance security
expenditures. See [Figure 8]
Our analysis indicates that the USA provided the highest amount of external resources
in support of security (95 %) in 2011, followed by Japan (3%), EU (1 %), whilst the
remaining 1% came from other DPs. There are a number of mechanisms/delivery
channels through which security expenditures are financed, which are described
below: for more details, refer to [Table 10] in the Annex.

sector. According to the SIGAR report of January 2012, in the year 2011, the USDoD

Overall, the level of consultation with the GoA over planning, implementation and reporting of the
USDoD funds remain languid. As a result, MoF had to rely on SIGAR report.
