Importance of the ANDS• Donors will not channel their funds through the Government’s
core budget if there is no prioritized strategic plan or implementation arrangement.
• This means that the Government doesn’t have access to donor funded programs/projects and has no control over them.
• Importantly, the bilateral implementation of projects without consultation or approval from Government ministries/agencies has meant that a number of the programs/projects have been conducted repeatedly and inefficiently in different parts of the country which is a waste of time and resources.
• Many development priorities have to date been defined by donors and not by the Government of Afghanistan. 7/18/2014

Importance of the ANDS …• In the absence of sectorial strategies, national programs and
implementation arrangements, the Government has not been able to ensure that donor countries align their funding with the Government’s plans to increase effectiveness and efficiency.
• The Government has been continually criticized by the international and donor community of corruption, low capacity and not having a National Strategy in which priorities are identified, programs/projects defined, implementing agencies introduced and sources for implementation identified.
• This absence of a clear policy, vision and plan has created problems for the three branches of the Government; the judicial, constitutional and executive branches. Balance and coordination among the three branches depends on a national plan to provide specific guidance for all branches.

Our Vision for Afghanistan’s Future
By the solar year 1400 (2020), Afghanistan will be:• A stable Islamic constitutional democracy at peace with itself and its
neighbors, standing with full dignity in the international family.• A tolerant, united, and pluralist nation that honors its Islamic heritage and
deep aspirations toward participation, justice, and equal rights for all.• A society of hope and prosperity based on a strong, private sector-led
market economy, social equity, and environmental sustainability.
