The initiative will help Afghanistan achieve self-reliance and reinforce our commitment to results and accountability by linking funds to specific reforms in combating corruption, promoting rule of law, strengthening women’s rights, and enhancing private sector growth.
"Building on the gains of the past 14 yrs., the New Development Partnership will harness a new approach to development--one that embraces the power of local solutions to deliver real, measurable results across Afghanistan," said USAID Acting Administrator Alfonso Lenhardt. "By holding Afghan institutions accountable for achieving results, we will continue to advance equality, unlock opportunity, and strengthen security."
