Description The program's objective is to develop systems and procedures supported by increased capacity to improve budget programming, strengthen resource mobilization, develop the civil service, and enhance monitoring capabilities of public finances.
Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy The Government has adopted the Interim Afghanistan National Development Strategy (I-ANDS). A major focus of the I-ANDS is to lay the foundations for sound institutions and effective policies that will support the implementation of a sustainable medium-term development framework. Along these lines, improving public governance is a key reform area. This involves instituting public administration, undertaking budget reforms, improving revenue collection, and strengthening public financial management.

The Program is in line with the Government's objectives in the I-ANDS and was listed in ADB's Country Strategy and Program Updates (2004-2006, 2006-2008). It supports ADB's country strategy by strengthening policy and institutional framework for fiscal management and public administration. Likewise, is helps in developing capacity in these areas. It also complements ADB's technical assistance on public administration reform (TA- 4244 AFG: Support for the Public Administration Reform Program).
Impact Strengthen public finances through targeted assistance to improve budget programming,
resource mobilization, develop the civil service, and strengthen monitoring of public finances.
