dearth of well qualified individuals. Increasedinvestment is crucial for the demand for laborto increase. This requires higher rates ofgrowth, broad investment to increase and productivityto be higher. With increased investmentin many areas of the economy, there willbe high demand for well qualified Afghans.There is an urgent need for qualified teachers,trainers, doctors, professors, for those with therequisite skills for planning and implementingimproved water management practices, forqualified professionals in the Civil Service, forskills needed in the management and developmentof mineral resources, for meeting themanagement and safety needs of a growingcivil aviation sector, for managing and maintainingan expanding road system, for work inregional trading enterprises centered in Afghanistan,in developing, energy resources,working in Independent Power Producers, andin managing and improving electricity transmissionand distribution systems, developingcommercial agriculture, and working in operationsto assist the poor and most vulnerableeither within or outside government. If theANDS educational strategy is successful in addressingthe quality shortcomings in the publiceducation system and expanding the scope forprivate education, the expected growth of theeconomy will create the demand for well qualifiedAfghans emerging from the educationalsystem. Care will need to be taken to assurethat existing but less qualified employees in thepublic sector do not block the way of betterqualified applicants for these jobs, althoughthese existing employees should also be giventhe opportunity to develop the needed skillsthrough in house capacity development programsand through ‘educational leaves’ to upgradetheir skills.There are other sub-sector policies coveringareas such as Sport and the Afghan Academyof Science.• In sports policy there will be an effortmade to encourage private sector support.Provided funds are available, there is aprogram to build sports complexes andstrengthen sports through provincial sportsdepartments and sports improvement programsin capital and provinces. The antinarcoticsmessage will be promotedstrongly through sports activities.• The Academy of Science will be strengthenedand supported so as to use the resourcesand talents of the academy to assistwith the restoration and development ofAfghanistan societyIntegration of the PDPs: At the provincial anddistrict level Provincial and Development Plans(PDPs), have been developed through a subnationalconsultation process. These Plans ensurethat the priorities in the ANDS reflect thebest interests and most urgent needs of thepeople. The most urgent provincial needs ineducation, health, and transport have beenidentified and will be integrated in the sectorstrategies. A problem in the education sectorhas been direct provincial infrastructure aid bycountry donors, such as construction of provincialagricultural colleges, that is not sustainablebecause the provincial recipient does not havethe funds to finance the running costs, includingas salaries and equipment, which are essentialto enable this type of infrastructure aid tomake a contribution to provincial development.For detail information refer to Volume III ProvincialDevelopment Plans.Institutional Arrangements: Education servicesare delivered by a number of governmentinstitutions. The Ministry of Education ismandated to deliver primary and secondaryeducation, including general education, Islamiceducation, teacher education, technical/vocationaleducation and literacy. TheMinistry of Higher Education is responsible forall tertiary education while the Ministry of Laborand Social Affairs is mandated to delivervocational training.CULTURE, YOUTH ANDMEDIARole of the Sector in ANDSThe ANDS strategic vision for this sector is topreserve and protect the cultural heritage ofAfghanistan and hand it on to new generationsto foster cultural creativity and to establishmedia that are independent, pluralistic andaccessible to women and men throughout thecountry thereby promoting an open and democraticsociety, young people (male and female)to be confident that they have a stable,120Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS)
prosperous and productive future in the country.Culture provides the social basis that allowsfor stimulating creativity, innovation,human progress and well-being. In thissense, culture can be seen as a drivingforce for human development, in respect ofeconomic growth and also as a means ofleading a more fulfilling intellectual, emotional,moral and spiritual life.The Afghanistan Constitution article 47 articulatesthat the state shall devise effective programsfor fostering knowledge, culture, literatureand arts. The state shall guarantee thecopyrights of authors, inventors and discoverers,and, shall encourage and protect scientificresearch in all fields, publicizing their resultsfor effective use in accordance with the provisionsof the law. Freedom of expression shall beinviolable according to Article 34 and everyAfghan shall have the right to express thoughtsthrough speech, writing, and illustrationThe Afghanistan Compact Benchmarks targetscomprehensive inventory of Afghan culturaltreasures by end-2007 and measures will betaken to revive the Afghan cultural heritage, tostop the illegal removal of cultural material andto restore damaged monuments and artifactsby end-2010.Current situation in the sectorAchievements: Considerable progress hasbeen made in the past six years. From virtuallyno public debate, there are now over 130 independenttelevision and radio stations coveringthe entire country. In Kabul alone there are 11independent television stations, while access tocable television is increasing. There are largenumbers of independent newspapers. Many ofthese outlets are managed and target youth,female and minority groups. This providesavenues for vulnerable and marginalizedgroups to have a voice in society.These advancements have created an environmentin which the caliber of public debate ishigh and lively. Criticism as well as praise forpublic programs and figures are common andencourage the public’s involvement in governmentactions and the development process.This debate filters down through society and isresponsible for increased questioning andanalysis of Government activities morebroadly.The Government is committed to furtheringthis public debate and independence of media.The Government recognizes that public debateis crucial for allowing the needs of the Afghanpeople to be fed into development activities.Independent media report development activitiesand programs and are critically importantto increasing public awareness on the Governmentand international community’s efforts.At the same time, local independent entertainmentprograms have been developed and arehighly popular. Regional television shows arealso broadcasted meeting the needs of the Afghanpeople.Many historical and valuable artifacts that werebelieved lost or stolen have been accounted forand returned. There is now a need for a comprehensiveinventory to determine the extent ofholdings.In Media, a large number of media outlets,television, radio and newspapers have beenstarted in the last six years. These stations produceconsiderable local Afghan content and arepopular within the country. The media law isdrafted and is under debate.In Youth a Joint National Youth Program isbeing implemented. This program is designedto increase the participation of youth in governance,recovery, development and peacebuildingof the country. It has been producedfrom inputs by eight Ministries and sevenUnited Nations agencies.Challenges and constraints• There is an urgent need to take action toprevent the looting of valuable cultural artifactsand to encourage other countries toreturn them.• The inability of the Ministry to reach assignedtargets is due to the lack of resources,both human and financial. This isthe basic cause of the weaknesses in theSector. Institutional strengthening shouldlook not only at the resource needs of theMinistry but also look at the way resourcesare organized.Economical and Social Development 121
