Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS)halving the total area under poppy cultivation by 2013, as measured against 2007. The Government’s plan for1387 (2008) includes the eradication of 50,000 hectares of poppy fields.Those who are engaged in the narcotics industry are opposed to any gain in the Government’s legitimacy orstability for the country. They provide funding for terrorist activities and fuel corruption. The National DrugsControl Strategy (NDCS) is the Government’s main response to the fight against narcotics. It outlines eightinterlinked pillars that lead efforts to reduce drug production, trafficking, and consumption. The eight pillarsaddress: (i) alternative livelihoods, (ii) building institutions, (iii) information campaign, (iv) drug lawenforcement, (v) criminal justice, (vi) eradication, (vii) drug demand reduction and treatment of drug addicts,and (viii) regional cooperation. The NDCS will continue to be reviewed and updated during the lifetime of theANDS.A key element of the NDCS is moving towards a provincial based approach to counter-narcotics activities.While the Ministry of Counter-Narcotics will assume the leadership role, the IDLG, MRRD, ProvincialDevelopment Council and Provincial Governors will be increasingly involved in both the planning andimplementation of counter-narcotics activities. One of the main points of the provincial based approach is thatthe governors will be given the appropriate incentives to deliver on counter-narcotics and their performance willbe judged by how well they succeed.Other priorities include measures to increase the effectiveness of alternative livelihood programs by targetingtheir funding, administration, and delivery channels, as well as reform of the Counter-Narcotics Trust Fund(CNTF), with the aim of increasing Afghan management and improving its efficiency and effectiveness.Anti-corruptionThe perceived high level of corruption is a major roadblock to development and better governance. Theultimate objective of the Government’s anti-corruption strategy is a public administration that operates withintegrity and accountability to provide an enabling environment for economic and social development, basedupon the rule of law, impartiality in political decision making, the proper management of public resources, theprovision of efficient services and the active engagement of civil society and the private sector.The Government’s anti-corruption strategy and roadmap are focused on achieving clear progress in reformingpublic administration and judicial systems as well as implementing measures in the counter narcotics strategy.Specifically, the Government strives to: (i) amend and adapt legislation and procedures to prevent opportunitiesfor corruption; (ii) reform complex organizational structures which lead to opportunities for corruption; (iii)simplify and streamline government functions and procedures; (iv) remove corrupt officials and implementmerit based recruitments; (v) reform and strengthen audit procedures and increase control of financial andadministrative transactions; and (vi) ensure adequate salaries and incentives for civil servants.The Government recognizes that a balanced and sequenced approach to fighting corruption, making use ofdifferent instruments, strengthening their enforcement and evaluating their effectiveness is essential.Prevention, detection, prosecution, and sanctions, as well as awareness-raising are all components of thisstrategy. The Government will focus particularly on ensuring that the institutions, systems, and processes,including in public service delivery, are working well enough to minimize vulnerabilities to corruption.Measures to increase the transparency and accountability of government operations to external bodies such asthe National Assembly, media and civil society will also be designed.Capacity DevelopmentCapacity – human and institutional - is a major constraint facing all aspects of the implementation of the ANDS.Low capacity leads to wastage, underutilization of resources, inefficient and ineffective interventions, andsuboptimal outcomes. The Government will build the institutional mechanisms to support capacitydevelopment, mainly in the public sector, but where appropriate, supporting institutions and initiatives will alsoenable the private sector to participate and benefit from these mechanisms, such as National Vocational andEducation Training Board (NVETB). The institutional responsibility will be with Inter-ministerial Commission16
Executive Summaryfor Capacity Development (ICCD) that will serve as a single reporting point for both government and donors.The ICCD will provide a coordinated approach to support the effective management of funds and aid flows,cutting down on duplication and ensuring that capacity development needs are met in time and in an incrementalbut sustainable manner.The Government is working on a comprehensive program to increase the capacity of public sector institutionsand employees, in the context of the Public Administration Reform process. ANDS capacity developmentpriorities include a comprehensive training and skills development scheme for civil servants; the establishmentof the National Civil Service Training Centre; the management of international technical assistance to ensureaccelerated and sustainable transfer of skills and expertise; and the injection of short-term capacity through theManagement Capacity Program (MCP).Gender EquityAn important precondition for the success of Afghanistan’s development goals is the reversal of women’shistorical disadvantage in Afghan society. The Government’s vision is a peaceful and progressive nation wherewomen and men enjoy security, equal rights, and opportunities in all spheres of life. The Government iscommitted to fulfilling its obligation to women’s development as embodied in the Constitution, the MDGs, theAfghanistan Compact, and international treaties. The ANDS provides a framework for mainstreaming genderinterventions across sectors so as to address women’s position in the society, their socio-economic condition,and access to development opportunities. The implementation of the strategy for gender equity is a sharedresponsibility among government entities at the national and sub-national levels. The Ministry of Women’sAffairs, as the lead agency for women’s advancement, will be strengthened to enable it to take on the role ofcoordinating and monitoring the outcomes of Government interventions.EnvironmentThe environment is a cross-cutting issue that underpins the entire social and economic development frameworkfor the country. The Government’s chief goal regarding the environment is to improve the quality of life for thepeople of Afghanistan through conservation, protection, and improvement of the country’s environment, as wellas to ensure the sustainability of development efforts for future generations. As a top priority, the Governmentwill strengthen the capacity of the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA) to perform its regulatory,coordination, and oversight functions, and the capacity of line ministries to actively address environmentalconsiderations in their program designs. Another short-term priority is to make operational and fully deploy theEnvironmental Impact Assessment (EIA) system, jointly by NEPA and line ministries, which will allow for theadequate monitoring of the environmental impacts of development projects.Regional CooperationAfghanistan occupies a key strategic location linking Central Asia with South Asia, providing China and the FarEast with a direct trade route with the Middle East and Europe. At the moment, Afghanistan also faces asecurity threat that has region-wide implications and that can only be addressed effectively by region-widecooperation.Developing the opportunities arising from this strategic location as a ‘land bridge’ between Central and SouthAsia, and the Middle East and the Far East will contribute to regional stability and prosperity, as well asincreased investment and trade. The Government’s key priorities are: (i) to increase and deepen Afghanistan’sparticipation and leadership in bilateral and region-wide initiatives and agreements that facilitate transit,transport, and investment in the region; (ii) to promote cross-border initiatives for the equitable exploitation ofshared resources of hydro power; (iii) to facilitate the voluntary return of refugees; and (iv) extend regionalcooperation on border management to better align efforts against organized cross-border crimes, such astrafficking in drugs and weapons. The Government recognizes that it cannot achieve its goals with regards toimproving security without close cooperation from regional partners, particularly Pakistan.17
