CHAPTER 9AID EFFECTIVENESS AND COORDINATIONThe Government will continue to maintain theprinciples of the Paris Declaration as the cornerstoneof the ANDS. Since 2001, Afghanistanhas received more than $15 billion in OfficialDevelopment Assistance (ODA), not includingoff-budget security spending which is not formallyreported as part of the OECD DAC aidreporting system. Current estimates for totalassistance, ODA and security-related expenditures,are $40 to $50 billion. This chapter laysout the Government’s approach to increasedeffectiveness and efficiency as a vital element inthe successful implementation of the AfghanistanCompact and ANDS. Moreover, and inspite of considerable gains in recent years, theGovernment remains concerned about the urgentneed to strengthen the aid deliveryframework (management, coordination, mobilization,and effectiveness) to improve results,particularly at the sub-national level. The Governmentis aware that donor funds are limited.The main principle of the Government’s aideffectiveness policy is to ensure that donors’funds will be spent in the most productive wayand in line with the ANDS priorities.The other core principles relevant to this strategyinclude: Afghanistazation (ownership);alignment; coordination and harmonization;managing for results; and mutual accountability.PARIS DECLARATION ANDAFGHANISTAN COMPACTAfghanistan and the international communityagreed on the Afghanistan Compact andsigned the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectivenessin 2006 to improve the delivery and impactof external assistance. The Government’said strategy is in line with the major principlesof the Paris Declaration whereby (i) partnercountries own and exercise leadership overtheir development policies (ii) donors aligntheir overall support on partner countries' nationaldevelopment strategies (iii) donor actionsare more harmonized, transparent andcollectively effective (iv) resource managementand decision-making are more results-oriented;and (v) donors and partners are accountable fordevelopment results. In addition to this theGovernment’s aid effectiveness policies are alsoin line with the Afghanistan Compact, MDGsand ANDS poverty reduction targets.The effectiveness of aid can be measuredagainst progress towards the attainment ofMDG, Compact and ANDS poverty reductionand development targets. Much has beenachieved over the course of the past six years,but a great deal more needs to be done. Afghanistan’scurrent heavy reliance on aid is areflection of the extent of the devastation followingyears of turmoil.CURRENT SITUATION:ASSESSMENT OF AIDEFFECTIVENESSThe effectiveness of aid can be measuredagainst attainment of MDG, Compact andANDS poverty reduction targets. While muchhas undoubtedly been achieved over the courseof the past six years, lack of services, high povertyincidence and a lack of security in someparts of the country continue to underminereconstruction and development efforts. Afghanistan’scurrent reliance on aid can be attributedto the fact that most of Afghanistan’sinstitutions, infrastructure and human capacitywere destroyed or depleted during the threedecade-longwar. Despite this and since 2001there has been noticeable progress in improvingthe peoples’ lives: the average per capitaincome almost double from 2001 to 2007 fromUS$147 to US$289, Afghanistan averted majorhumanitarian catastrophe in 2001; 6.0 million156Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS)
children have enrolled in primary and secondaryeducation, with 35% being female; thebasic package of health services is now at 87%national coverage with immunization at 80%coverage; more than 5 million Afghans havereturned home; more than 12,200 km of roadhave been rehabilitated and rebuilt includingthe ring road; and in urban areas especially,professional opportunities for women are beginningto increase.AID EFFECTIVENESSSTRATEGY FRAMEWORKExperience in other countries has shown thatexternal aid has in many cases, contributed toeconomic growth, private sector development,and poverty reduction. The Government isstrongly committed to making aid more effectiveby working with donors to achieve thebenchmarks set out in the Paris Declarationand the Afghanistan Compact. The Governmentwill continue to work on to deepen theownership and successful implementation ofthe ANDS. This will require the full cooperationand assistance of the donor community.The motivation behind this commitment issimple: the realization that making aid moreeffective by reducing overlap, duplication andthe administrative cost of aid in the short runwill have an even greater impact on increasingthe benefits of aid in the longer term.The Government will continue to providestrong political backing for economic reformsthrough support to the conditions attached toprograms and projects undertaken by donors.This will be strongly supported by the Governmentwhere institutions and policies areweak and the policy environment is distorted.The Government encourages program and projectdesigns that focus on creating and transmittingknowledge and building capacity.Over the ANDS period, post evaluation of alldevelopment projects will be undertaken whichwill provide valuable information on the lessonslearned and improve the future design ofdevelopment programs and projects. The Government’said policies will be based on the followingprinciples:• Maintaining Macroeconomic Stability:sustainable growth and reducing povertyboth require a sound and stable macroeconomicframework. The Government willcontinue to improve its overall macroeconomicframework by identifying and removingstructural rigidities and marketdistortions to permit higher levels of economicgrowth.• A performance/results-based approach:with improved monitoring , coordinationand evaluation of development programsand projects by both the Government andthe international community;• Good governance: good governance providesthe broad setting for developmentand the quality of that governance willhave a profound effect on developmentsuccess and aid effectiveness.• Building capacity: enhanced capacity—inpublic and private sectors—is also criticalto sustainable development. Past aid programmingoften failed because it focusedon resource transfers by donors but did notprovide enough support for local capacitydevelopment efforts to sustain these investmentsonce donors had withdrawnsupport.• Engaging civil society: participatory processes,particularly those engaging civil society,are essential to establishing clear, locallyowned priorities so that aid is demanddriven and has maximum impact.This will also ensure that aid meets theneeds of the poorest and most marginalizedpeople in society.Aid Effectiveness Objectives: Key objectivesare to increase aid effectiveness andmaximize the impact of international assistanceand achieve the following objectives: (i) improvedsecurity and stability; (ii) reduced poverty;(iii) enhanced environment for privatesector development; (iv) further democratizationof Afghan society in accordance with theIslamic values; and (v) increased social inclusionand equality. For the Government aid isone of most important tools in implementingthe ANDS.Excepted Outcomes: The Government’s aideffectiveness policies will achieve the followingoutcomes: (i) improved security and povertyreduction (ii) higher participation of the privatesector in the GDP and employment (iii) higherschool enrolment and literacy (iv) better socialinclusion (v) lower infant and maternal mortality(vi) improved access to a higher quality ofAid Effectiveness and Coordination 157
