Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS)A major challenge facing rapid urban development will be to adopt systems where urban taxes and cost recoveryfunds the provision of efficient government services. This will expand the scope for increased private sectorprovision of urban services, with funding still partially coming from the public sector to cover costs for thoseliving in poverty. To alleviate urban sprawl, zoning and new city planning management capacities will bestrengthened.EducationThe Government aims at having a well-educated nation. Since 2002, the Government has invested heavily inthe education sector and has attained progress toward the ultimate goals of educating all of Afghanistan’schildren, reducing illiteracy, and creating a skilled labor force. The Government is committed to meeting theMillennium Development Goals, and the primary education objective for the ANDS is to keep Afghanistan ontrack for their timely attainment.The Government aims to increase literacy, improve quality of education, expand the capacity of the educationsystem to absorb more students, increase equal access to education for all, improve opportunities for and qualityof higher education, and expand the capacity and improve the quality of vocational education and skillsbuilding.The provision of basic education and reducing illiteracy rates will remain the top priority for the Governmentthroughout the life of the ANDS. The Government is committed to implement the priority programs endorsedin the National Education Strategic Plan, including: (i) general education (targeting a 60 percent and 75 percentenrolment rate for girls and boys, respectively); (ii) improved teacher education and working conditions; (iii)education infrastructure rehabilitation and development; (iv) curriculum development and learning materials; (v)Islamic education; (vi) technical and vocational education and training; (vii) literacy and non-formal education;and (viii) reform and development of education administration.The next priority is to improve the quality and management of education through devolving responsibility forthe delivery of education services to local authorities while strengthening the monitoring and strategic planningcapacity of the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Higher Education, and Ministry of Labor and Social Services.The key priority in the vocational training subsector is to align vocational training and skills developmentprograms with the needs of the economy through improved coordination and implementation capacity at theNational Vocational Education and Training Board (NVETB).Culture and MediaThe culture and media sector vision is (i) to foster the continued expansion of a free and lively media that isindependent and accessible to women and men throughout the country; (ii) to preserve and protect the culturalheritage of Afghanistan; and (iii) to foster cultural creativity.Major goals for this sector include the documentation of unregistered historical monuments and archaeologicalsites and the restoration and protection of vulnerable locations; the adoption of new media legislation to supportindependent and open media; the expansion of media throughout the country; and the continuation of efforts torecover stolen artifacts through international and bilateral relations.Health and NutritionBy all measures, the people of Afghanistan suffer from poor health. Afghanistan’s health indicators are near thebottom of international indices, and fare far worse, in terms of their health, than any other country in the region.Life expectancy is very low, infant, under-five and maternal mortality is very high, and there is an extremelyhigh prevalence of chronic malnutrition and widespread occurrence of micronutrient deficiency diseases.The overarching priority of the health sector is to address priority health issues through a universal coverage of aBasic Package of Health Services (BPHS). The Government will continue to implement the BPHS and will14
Executive Summarystrengthen the referral network that links patients into the hospitals that provide the Essential Package ofHospital Services (EPHS). Specifically, the Government will focus on strengthening reproductive healthservices, particularly in the areas of safe motherhood and family planning; improving the nutritional status ofmothers and children; and controlling communicable diseases, recognizing their adverse impact on the health ofall Afghans. To support these specific health interventions, the Government has developed a comprehensiveprogram of institutional development for health services, designed to organize, manage and monitor the nationalhealth system to reduce inequity and improve efficiency, effectiveness, quality of care and accountability at alllevels.The ANDS strategic objectives include achieving the following Afghanistan Compact and the MillenniumDevelopment Goals: by end-1389 (2010), in line with Afghanistan's MDGs, (i) the Basic Package of HealthServices (BPHS) will be extended to cover at least 90 percent of the population; (ii) maternal mortality will bereduced by 15 percent; and (iii) full immunization coverage for infants under-5 for vaccine-preventable diseaseswill be achieved and their mortality rates reduced by 20 percent; (iv) to reduce by 50 percent, between 1382(2003) and 1394 (2015), the under-five mortality rate, and further reduce it to one third of the 1382 (2003) levelby 1400 (2020); (v) to reduce the maternal mortality rate by 50 percent, between 1381 (2002) and 1394 (2015),and further reduce by an additional 25 percent of the 1381 (2002) level by 1400 (2020); (vi) and reverse thespread of HIV/AIDS by 1400 (2020); and (vii) to halt and begin to reverse the incidence of malaria and othermajor diseases by 1400 (2020).Social ProtectionThe household survey data reflects Afghanistan’s high rate of poverty and vulnerability to consumption shocks,particularly sudden food price increases. While strong economic growth is a necessary precondition for povertyreduction, it is not sufficient to ensure an improvement in the poverty profile. To ensure quality growth, theGovernment will pursue income and transfer policies that are fiscally sustainable and target assistance at thepoorest and most vulnerable society groups, in line with Afghanistan’s Islamic traditions and values.Fiscally sound and well-targeted social protection interventions are of critical importance for improving povertyoutcomes. The Government is committed to pursuing sustainable income and transfer policies through pensionreform and programs focused on the extreme poor; allocating adequate resources to the poorest areas throughnationwide programs and productive safety net programs; phasing out non-targeted subsidies, such as energysubsidies; and building the planning and administrative capacity of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs todeliver coordinated programs in employment generation and social protection.The Government will provide humanitarian support for Afghans affected by natural disasters, insecurity, and thereturn from refugee status in neighboring countries. Up to 2.5 million additional Afghan refugees could returnduring the life of the ANDS. The capacity to absorb such an influx is uncertain and may require substantialinternational intervention in order to prevent the diversion of limited assets and resources. The Ministry forRefugees and Returnees will coordinate the provision of support programs for refugees and returneesimplemented through other ministries. The Afghan National Disaster Management Authority will coordinatethe Government’s preparedness for natural disasters and humanitarian situations.Cross Cutting IssuesThe ANDS is underpinned by five vital cross-cutting issues where coordinated action is needed across pillarsand sectors. They are inter-related and together pose a serious challenge to the successful implementation of theANDS and the achievement of Afghanistan’s MDGs. The Government is committed to decisive action intackling these challenges, in cooperation with its international partners.Counter-narcoticsOne of the major objectives of the ANDS is to lay out a strategy for the elimination of the narcotics industry,which represents a formidable threat to the country, the region, and beyond. The Government is committed to15
