LAW AND ORDER TRUST FUND (LOTFA)
Another mechanism through which DPs support security related expenditures is
the Law and Order Trust Fund, administered by the United Nations Development
Program (UNDP). As a multi-donor trust fund, LOTFA covers operating expenses of
the police forces including salaries and food, in addition to supporting police reform
activities and training. According to LOTFA financial report of March 2012, total DPs’
commitments to this program in the year 2011 amounted to USD 615 million.

DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION REPORT
EXTERNAL ASSISTANCE FOR DEVELOPMENT
From the USD 4.1 billion disbursed in support of development sectors in 2011, USD
1,106 million (27%) was delivered on-budget, which includes USD 484 million through
bilateral means and USD 622 million through trust funds mechanism. whilst the
major portion, USD 2,998 million, was managed by the DPs and delivered off-budget.
See [Figure 9]
In terms of sectoral distribution, reported information from the DPs demonstrate that
the majority of disbursements (USD 367 million) or 9% in 2011 has been marked as
“UNCLASSIFIED”, which undermines our analysis of where the resources were precisely
invested. However, our understanding is that the resources have either financed
crosscutting issues such as gender, environment, human rights, etc. activities, or do
not fit any of the Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS) classification of
sectors as indicated in [Figure 10].
With respect to other sectors, USD 1,141 million was invested in Governance, followed
by Infrastructure USD 723 million, Agriculture and Rural Development USD 688 million,
Health USD 503 million, Education USD 256 million, Private Sector Development USD
218 million, and Social Protection, which received USD 187 million.
