plans, which were finally consolidated into34 Provincial Development Plans (PDPs).This process involved consultation betweenparliamentarians, provincial authorities,provincial development committees,village Shuras, local Ulama, the internationalcommunity (including the ProvincialReconstruction Teams) and most importantlyordinary Afghan citizens. ThesePDPs identified needs and key developmentpriorities for each province. Both theNational (top-down) and sub-national (bottom-up)processes were developed into thesector strategies, with a move towards theformulation of Sector Wide Approach andProgrammatic Budgeting.• International Consultation Process: Engagementbetween the Government andthe international community has been substantiallyguided by the Bonn processwhich set high level political goals: the SecuringAfghanistan Future exercise; theAfghanistan Compact and the MDG process.The international community was involvedin the ANDS consultation processthrough the External Advisory Group(EAG). Among other issues, this organ focuseson implementation of the principlesof the Paris Declaration. The ANDS Secretariatprovides support to these structuresto enhance coordination and effectivenessand the linkage with the national consultationprocess. The international communitywas extensively involved in the developmentand preparation of the ANDS.• Consultation with the Civil Society, PrivateSector and Media: The Governmentcarried out extensive consultation withcivil society groups, including: (a) the religiousestablishment; (b) village shuras 10 ; (c)non governmental and not for profit agencies;(d) cultural associations; (e) humanrights organizations; (f) grassroots associationsrelated to women’s affairs, youth developmentand disability; and (g) Waterand Sanitation Committees (WATSAN).Six Afghan coordination bodies and partnerNGOs were extensively engaged duringthe development of the Sector Strategies.Moreover, throughout the process themedia has been actively reporting on theANDS, through newspapers, TV, radio and10 Traditional village councils.internet. The role that civil society organizationshave played at different levels asfacilitators, communicators, advocates andmonitors has been invaluable. 11 As part ofthe economic diagnostic and PDP work,provincial discussions were held to discussthe private sector development strategy inthe five largest commercial cities, whichculminated in the ‘Enabling EnvironmentConference’ held in Kabul in 1386 (June2007).Poverty diagnostic consultations: The Government’sparticipatory approach to povertydiagnostics involved enabling poor communitiesand their institutions to participate effectivelyin defining, analyzing and monitoringpoverty as they experience it. This work wasalso conducted in the most remote and conflictaffected communities of Afghanistan. In sodoing, a broader choice of poverty actionsbased on the specific concerns of the poor havebeen established for each province, as well aseach district. Government has considered arange of poverty actions based on specific concernsof the poor including vulnerability, conflictsensitivity, insecurity and governance. Asa result of provincial and district planning, differenttargeting of poverty reduction programs/interventionshave been considered toestablish a best fit between poverty profile andpoverty actions.PROVINCIAL DEVELOPMENTPLANS (PDPS)As part of the ANDS PDPs were developed forall 34 provinces of Afghanistan to provide acoordinated framework for the Governmentand the international community to undertakesector programs and projects at the subnationallevel. The linking of consultation tothe provincial based planning process has allowedlocal communities to prioritize, sequence,plan and be involved in the implemen-11 In addition to the feedback, comments and support of a numberof CSOs, the Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief(ACBAR) and the Foundation for Culture and Civil Society(FCCS) undertook extensive research in 12 provinces, contributinginvaluable poverty data for the ANDS, as teams were sent toremote, poverty stricken areas in both rural and urban settings, inorder to inform the sector strategies. This information was used inconjunction with findings from the National Risk and VulnerabilityAssessment surveys over the past five years, to ensure that theANDS policies are pro-poor and representative of the more disadvantagedsegments of society.20Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS)
tation of projects. The PDPs developedthrough the Sub National Consultations ensurethat the priorities in the ANDS reflect the bestinterests of the Afghan people and are theproduct of the three rounds of Sub-NationalConsultations that took place across AfghanistanMarch 2007- March 2008.The PDPs have informed policy formulation,articulated goals and needs of the people andprovided strategic direction to the sectorstrategies and the overall ANDS. During theSub National Consultations (SNCs), preparationand input for the PDPs was based on thefollowing inputs:• line ministry strategies and plans;• priorities of rural communities includingthose set out in Community and DistrictDevelopment Plans;• priorities of urban communities, includingthose set out in Urban Plans;• priorities of vulnerable social groups includingKuchis, refugees, returnees and InternallyDisplaced Persons (IDP) and thedisabled; and• priorities of women, who attended the consultationswith an average of 47 percentparticipation. 12Development of Provincial ProfilesThe PDPs contain a profile of each provinceusing information from both the National Riskand Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA) andUNFPA’s Socio-Economic and DemographicProfiles, providing a geographic, poverty-basedand social picture of the province and perspectiveson the state of provincial development.Opportunities for poverty alleviation have beenincluded with the agreed goals and needs foreach pillar. This provides a guide to potentialdevelopment in each province; especially forthe most urgent local needs.12 A nomad woman from Balkh province stated that this was thefirst time she had attended the meeting on behalf of nomadwomen of this province in order to present her opinions for thewelfare and prosperity of the country. “We would be glad if thegovernment continues to pursue such policy. Nomads like anyother people in the society would also benefit from this process”.Farida Kochi, representative of Balkh‘ Source: ANDS SubnationalConsultation, 1386 (2007).Priority ProjectsTen projects have been prioritized for each sectorand for each province aligned with the fiscalenvelope of ministries within the outreachof national programs. In total, 80 priority projectswere identified for each province. TheSNCs served as an opportunity for these ideasin the shape of Community Development Plans(CDPs) and District Development Plans (DDPs)to be consolidated and improved and to reachconsensus on them with a wider audience fromthe province before being incorporated intoPDPs as priority projects. Priority projectsfrom the eight sectors across the 34 provincestherefore represent a list of activities that respondto the most urgent sectoral needs in eachprovince. These are being mapped into thenational budget process.PRIORITIZATION ANDSEQUENCING OF THE PDPSPrioritization of the provincial priority projects,aligned with National Programs, forms the basison which implementation of the ANDS willtake place at the local level. Out of the eightyprojects prioritized during the SNC process, themost critical projects were aligned with the fivemost crucial sectors and prioritized into tiers.Tier one projects represent the most urgenttasks. This has allowed for a logical resourceallocation and prioritization process to be carriedout. Provincial budgeting, as a componentof the National Program Budgeting ReformProgress, is also informed by the provincialprioritization process. It aims to empower localauthorities and increase the appropriateness ofresource allocation. This is currently being pilotedin ten provinces and will be extended to afurther ten in 1387 (2008).INTEGRATION OF THE PDPSINTO ANDSThe data from the SNCs and PDPs was fullyincorporated into ANDS in the following ways:• For each Sector Strategy; comments gatheredfrom the SNCs from a provincial perspectiveon challenges for that particularsector have been a starting point for addressingthe country’s most urgent needs.Thus each sector can be seen to respond directlyto the concerns raised by the people.The Participatory Process 21
