Stakeholder Participation and Consultation
During Project Design In preparing the ASPL, to which this TA is attached, extensive consultation was carried out with Government counterparts in all the relevant ministries and maximum effort was made to reflect the special circumstances of Afghanistan to ensure a practical and realistic reform program. The leadership of the core sector institutions represents a range of political factions and interest groups, and as such there is broad ownership of the Program's reform agenda. A separate consultation with key NGOs was also conducted to harmonize understandings on the critical issues confronting agricultural development and natural resource management in Afghanistan. The discussions with the NGO community provided an important validation of the scope and content of the reform program, given its loang and extensive experience in implementing rural development activities throughout the country.
