USAID in Afghanistan: Partnership, Progress, Perseverance
After a decade of rebuilding, Afghanistan is
making steady progress on its road toward
becoming a more responsible and integrated
member of the region and the world.
Great strides have been made in health and education, bringing more Afghans back into
economic and civic life. Institutions that can accountably respond to people's needs and
aspirations are being restored. Investments in infrastructure and human capital are making
the country less vulnerable to insurgents and illicit business and more attractive for
private-sector enterprise.
At the same time, USAID has improved how we work in Afghanistan. These reforms are
core to our mission to accomplish results sustainably and cost-effectively.
We've boosted incomes, created jobs and reduced poverty, and we're supporting security
gains against extremists. USAID and its partners will continue to build on this foundation.
Our focus will include investing in energy, industries and capacities that will generate
broad-based and inclusive economic growth. We are working with the Afghans to lay the
foundation that enables a successful transition from a donor-supported economy to one
driven by Afghan growth and ingenuity.
This report (pdf, 6.7mb) demonstrates the results we can achieve when we, in strong partnership with the
Afghan people, focus on achievable goals. It also reiterates our commitment to the nation of
Afghanistan and the U.S. taxpayers that support us, our partners in this important work and
the lasting impacts we are achieving together.
