Implementation of the Afghanistan Compact and
the ANDS has been slow and uneven. Observers
point to the myriad of international organisations,
donors and agencies providing support to a young
government lacking in capacity and experience as
one explanation for this. However, key international
partners are adopting a new Integrated Approach
( IA ) as an implementing mechanism for ANDS
and a joint planning and coordination framework
amongst key stakeholders. It is through this process
that stakeholders align their respective plans and
priorities to achieve a combined and concerted
security-governance-development effect in commonly
agreed ’critical districts’. Examples of programmes
being planned and implemented through the IA are
Focused District Development ( FDD ) and, soon,
Judicial Reform.
Based on the UN Accessability map, Afghanistan’s
398 districts were divided into three levels of stability:
secure (main effort is development), critical (main
effort is governance and outreach) and insecure
(main effort is security). The main efforts in each
of these areas are complemented by the other two
pillars of the ANDS. The Approach will eventually
cover the entire country. In its initial stage, effort will
focus on 49 ’critical districts’ agreed upon by IDLG
and UNAMA. Ten districts have now been identified
to be action districts for the new approach.
