The National
Action Plan
for Women of
Afghanistan
((NAPWA
The program focuses on implementing the
Government’s commitment to promote gender
equality. The program would develop the
capacity of all relevant government entities
to mainstream the commitments and goals of
NAPWA into their policy, planning, programming,
budgeting, implementation, and monitoring
and evaluation processes. Expanding
access for women improves basic human rights
and increases the productive capacity of the
nation while reducing poverty.
This program improves health infrastructure
and service delivery. It aims at ameliorating
the health and nutritional status of the people
of Afghanistan in an equitable and sustainable
manner through the provision of quality
health services, advocacy for the development
of healthy environments and living conditions
and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.
The Governance Cluster
This program moves Afghanistan toward fiscal
sustainability through supporting increased
domestic revenue collection, strengthening the
budget as an instrument of national policy, improving
budget execution, developing capacity
to implement effective programming and
increasing accountability and transparency in
public finances. Under this initiative, municipalities
will also have applied systems of revenue
collection, budgeting and financial management.
This program is working to counter rising perceptions
of corruption by increasing the transparency
and accountability of procedures and
controls. This is being accomplished through
an ambitious agenda of legislative reform, investments
in improved capacity in key national
institutions, and clear decisions and actions to
send the message that corruption will not be
tolerated. The overall aim of the program is to
strengthen public trust in government and creating
an enabling environment for social and
economic development.
This program improves public expenditure
and civil service management. It introduces
and implements broad-based policy, legal, and
structural reforms in public administration, improves
public service delivery by Government
through simplification of procedures, developing
comprehensive training activities, improving
working conditions of the civil service, developing
measures to change the ability and
capacity of civil service to better carry out its
responsibilities, and enables development of
core economic functions of government as independent
authorities.
