Afghanistan


The Challenge

Security remains the greatest obstacle to development in Afghanistan. Competent workers are absent in the private sector, and government institutions lack resources, are weak and tainted by corruption. Basic infrastructure needs are still enormous after years of neglect under Taliban rule and 25 years of war. Narco-trafficking, the lack of government capacity, insecurity, rural poverty, and the lack of viable economic opportunities have made the value of the illicit drug trade equal to over 60% of the estimated value of the total Afghan economy (licit and illicit). USAID's goals during the next three years are to stabilize the political and economic gains made to date, assist Afghans to expand the licit economy, strengthen democratic institutions and governance, and work for a better educated and healthier population.
