EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Budget for 1388 continues to reflect the Government priorities of promoting
economic development and growth and improving social-economic conditions of the
Afghan people. The prioritization process and necessary budget reforms have focused on
obtaining the results for the 1388 budget and the medium term. This current budget and
medium time prioritization framework have aligned their allocations in consistent with the
recently finalized Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS). The ANDS,
which was approved by the Government of Afghanistan and presented at the Paris
Conference in June 2008, is the blueprint for the development of Afghanistan over the
next five years and outlines the government’s strategy for achieving its long term
development vision, including the Afghanistan Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
and the benchmarks of the Afghanistan Compact. The ANDS emphasized that security,
macroeconomic stability and growth, human and infrastructure development and
partnership between the government, the civil society, and donor community are the key
over-arching requirements for poverty reduction. In addition, the ANDS identified
improving governance and building institutional capacity as important objectives in the
medium term. Managing public expenditures in a transparent and accountable manner is
important and perhaps even central for public sector good governance.
The Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS) implementation cycle as
outlined in the ANDS document consists of four steps: a) Program design/redesign, b)
Coordinated project implementation, c) Evaluation & new priority selection, and d) Policy
development adjustments.
The Government has introduced a number of new institutional structures and mechanisms
to support the timely and effective implementation of the ANDS. These mechanisms will
be used to address coordination of implementation, results management, monitoring,
identify bottlenecks, progress reports and align sector-wide programs and projects to the
ANDS outcomes and objectives.
Medium-term Fiscal Strategy (1388-92)

The main objective of the fiscal policy of the Government is to maintain macroeconomic
and fiscal stability, poverty reduction, and sustained economic growth. Over the past few
years the sound fiscal policy adapted by the Government enabled the Government to
making more effective use of available public resources and address the needs associated
with the volatile domestic environment. Over the past few years the focus has also been
diverted to investing in improving the quality of service delivery.
The Government has embarked on the medium-term fiscal strategy to ensure that fiscal
stance is sustainable and will help to promote long-term growth prospects and assist in
poverty reduction in the current global financial turmoil. The macroeconomic environment
will be designed in a way that can facilitate the development of private sector and making
it the real engine of sustained economic growth.
The main objective of the fiscal strategy over the medium-term is to ensure that domestic
resources are adequate enough to finance the operating budget and the recurrent cost
associated with the gross capital formation of the Government. The development of
Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) called Afghanistan National Development
4
Strategy (ANDS) has paved the way to prioritize the available domestic resources and
donor financing in the appropriate context.
These developments underscore the continuing need to operate prudent fiscal policy and
maintain a strong fiscal position in the long-run. The Government is also taking
appropriate measures to increase domestic revenue. This can be done by broadening the
revenue base, strengthening the revenue administration and audit capacity, tax
enforcement mechanism, and increase in compliance rate that will promote revenue
generation avoiding any distortion. The Government is committed to strengthen the budget
formulation and execution procedures to assist the implementation of ANDS and
increasing public confidence. The Government will work towards increasing the
transparency of public finances by timely production of fiscal reports.
The first stage of the fiscal planning tools which is Medium-term Fiscal Framework
(MTFF) developed in 2005 was a successful exercise. The MTFF outlines the fiscal
frameworks based on projections for broad fiscal aggregates that are consistent with key
macroeconomic variables and fiscal targets. Broad fiscal aggregates (i.e. revenue and
expenditures) are projected based on macroeconomic variables (i.e. growth and inflation)
donors’ pledges and commitments, and policy measures. The adoption of MTFF served as
a platform of confidence on the Government operations and played a key role in securing
donor financing for the Afghanistan compact in London conference on Afghanistan in late
1385 (2005/06).
1388 Revenues and Expenditures

In 1388, domestic revenues are expected to increase at a healthy pace of 26 percent over
the 1387 target. The total revenues are expected to be Afs 50,600 million (USD 973
million). Taxes on income, profit, property and capital gains are expected to increase to
Afs 10,315 million in 1388 from Afs 9,696 million which is an increase of about 6 percent
compared to 1387. Customs duties are expected to increase by 7 percent. Similarly,
domestic taxes on goods and services are expected to increase by 235 percent. The
medium-term looks promising given the ambitious reforms and new policies on revenues.
Domestic revenue receipts are a key target under the Poverty Reduction and Growth
Facility program that the Government of Afghanistan is implementing in partnership with
the International Monetary Fund (IMF). These medium term projections of domestic
revenue have been formulated in collaboration with the IMF and form the basis of the
revenue forecasts for the MTFF. The Government is targeting to reach fiscal sustainability
over the medium term. Estimates are based on the following policy assumptions to be
carried out in 1388.
The overall expenditures in the Core Budget are planned to be Afs 148,883 million (US$
2,882 million), a decrease of 18 percent, over the 1387 Mid-Year Review. The reason for
the decline is the exclusion of carry forward projects of 1387. The increase in the
operating expenditures reflects the growing need for core sectors such security and
education. In the operating budget, the security sector (47 percent) and the Ministry of
Education (15 percent) continue to absorb significant shares of expenditures.
5
The operating budget will be increased from Afs 73.8 billion (USD 1,476 million) in 1387
to Afs 93.9 billion (USD 1,807 million) in 1388. The operating budget is 22 percent higher
in 1388 compared to 1387. The operating budget as a share of GDP, however, will
increase to about 13.6 percent in 1388 from about 12.2 percent in 1387 due to the slower
growth of nominal GDP. The share of wages in 1388 including the security sector
(Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police) in the operating budget is currently
about 70 percent.
The total core development is Afs 59.0 billion (USD1,135.7 million).There are a number
of priority projects in ‘projects in the pipeline’, which need donor funding. If donor
funding is available, these projects can be added to the Approved Budget during the year.

Key Budget Reforms
The recent budget reforms that have been introduced by the Ministry of Finance are aimed
at achieving results for government spending and good governance. The Government
intends to improve performance by providing results-orientation to policy making and
prioritization. As part of this process, the Government has taken efforts to develop a
multi-year perspective in strategic resource allocation for the period 1387-91. To develop
such multi-year prioritization and turn the annual budget into a more policy-oriented tool,
the Ministry of Finance has introduced a number of technical instruments and initiatives.
These include: (a) the introduction of a medium term budgeting framework (MTBF), (b)
program budgeting in key ministries, (c) provincial budgeting in a number of provinces,
(d) costing of sector strategies, and (e) project template for the development budget. In the
medium term, these initiatives are expected to produce the desired results not only in terms
of linking budget allocations and ANDS, but also in terms of improving the overall service
delivery throughout the country.
To develop this prioritization framework, the Ministry of Finance and the Oversight
Committee discussed extensively the prioritization approach for public expenditures
among sectors and ministries. These extensive discussions and consultations have led to
prioritization and allocation of resources (both domestic resources and donor assistance)
among sectors and ministries for the period 1387-91. The process also recommended shifts
in resource allocations from the past to achieve Government objectives and ANDS
priorities.
To create strong ownership of the Government in the prioritization process and allocation
of resources among sectors consistent with the Government-led development strategy, the
Government conducted a number of high level meetings including several Cabinet
meetings. The strong collaboration between the Ministry of Finance and the ANDS team
in aligning budget allocations with Government/ANDS priorities has produced strong
ownership by the Government. As a result of this process, for the first time, the
Government is able to prioritize budget allocations to implement the priorities in the
ANDS.
POLICY FRAMEWORK FOR BUDGETING

Afghanistan Development Strategy (ANDS)
The Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS) of the Government with the
support from the international community aims to address the major challenges of the
country. These challenges include security, governance, and the economic development
needs of Afghanistan. The ANDS is closely linked with policy objectives to reach the
Millennium Development Goals by 2020. The ANDS which is based on an assessment of
current social and economic conditions, offer clear intermediate objectives, and identifies
actions that must be taken to achieve these goals.
In line with this strategy, the Government has initiated policies to reduce poverty through
a stable and growing economy, efficient and able political and democratic institutions,
human development and security throughout the country. Despite the full commitment of
the Government and the considerable assistance from the international community, it is
too ambitious to achieve all ANDS goals in the next five years. As a result, it is essential
8
that the Government, with support from the donors, prioritize and sequence some of the
policy objectives. Based on this process, the Government intends to align such
prioritization process with the national budget and its allocations to different sectors. This
prioritization process needs an institutional mechanism that will include the Afghan
people, the Government, civil society, and the international community.
ANDS Implementation
The Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS) implementation cycle as
outlined in the ANDS document consists of four steps: a) Program design/redesign, b)
Coordinated project implementation, c) Evaluation & new priority selection, and d) Policy
development adjustments.
The Government has introduced a number of new institutional structures to support the
timely and effective implementation of the ANDS. This has included the establishment of
the Government Coordination Committee (GCC), the ANDS Coordination of
Implementation and Development Unit in the Ministry of Finance and the Monitoring and
Evaluation Unit in the Ministry of Economy.
The ANDS is largely based on 17 sector strategies and 6 Cross-Cutting Issues, with well
defined objectives and proposed for projects and programs to be implemented over the
next five years. The existing governmental institutional structure of ministries and
agencies does not generally correspond closely to the coverage of specific sectors. As a
result virtually all of the sector strategies will require significant inter – ministerial
cooperation and integrated action if these strategies are to be successfully implemented.
As a result, the Government is establishing Sectoral Inter–Ministerial Committees (IMCs),
each of which will be primarily responsible for coordination of implementation of the
ANDS Sector Strategies and is comprised of the ministers from relevant ministries. These
IMCs, co-chaired by MoF, will report to the President and the Cabinet through the GCC
and their work will be supported by ANDS units in MoF and MoEC. The 17 Inter-
Ministerial Committees will be used to address coordination of implementation, results
management, monitoring, identify bottlenecks, progress reports and align sector-wide
programs and projects to the ANDS outcomes and objectives.
Growth Strategy
A credible growth strategy is the backbone of the ANDS. Much of the growth observed in
the past several years since 2001 were mainly due to the recovery from large public
investment in reconstruction activities and donor assistance. These factors cannot be
expected to continue for too long. The challenge is to find new sources of growth
especially led by the private sector. A key objective of the ANDS is to establish a secure
economic environment in which it will be possible to attract sufficient levels of investment
and which will encourage the employment of human, financial and natural resources in the
most productive ways possible. Key elements of the growth strategy include the
following.
• Rural development and commercialization of agriculture

• Private sector development and economic infrastructure
o Better infrastructure (including roads, irrigation, airports)
o Higher electricity generation and distribution
o Access to land and simplifying procedures
9
o Access to finance and strengthening financial sector including
increased access to credit and financial services\
o Establishing industrial parks, which provides immediate access to
security, land, and infrastructure (power, water, transport, etc)
• Improved human development (education, health care, social

protection)
• Strengthening governance and institutions
• Administrative reform and capacity building
The Government has been committed to implement growth inducing programs and
projects as started in the ANDS and allocate sufficient resources to implement these
programs. The medium term budget framework, which was approved by the Cabinet, has
reflected the ANDS priorities.
Poverty Reduction Plan

The ANDS shows a detailed poverty diagnostic work,
which was done under the Government’s National Reduction in Poverty Level
Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA) in 2007. (in percent)
The assessment shows the poverty rate of 42 percent 45

40
or 12 million people living below the poverty line,
35
with incomes of about US$14 per month per capita. 30
The assessment also shows that food poverty was 25
estimated to be around 45 percent. This consists of 20
15
people who were unable to purchase food which can 10
guarantee the minimum required food intake of 2100 5
calories per day. There is a significant difference in 0
poverty levels between provinces and between urban 1386 1387 1388 1389 1390 1391
and rural areas.

Poverty levels differ significantly between provinces. Poverty headcount rates vary from
around 10 percent to more than 70 percent, with poverty more severe in the Northeast,
Central Highlands and parts of the Southeast. Entire provinces such as Daikundi,
Badakhshan, Zabul, and Paktika represent large pockets of poverty.
The Government has set ambitious targets including reducing poverty levels to half by
2020, which is also one of the MDG targets. The Government policies in the medium term
are not only aimed at ensuring robust growth, which is a necessary condition for poverty
reduction, but also aimed at quality of growth in terms of employment generation, rural
development, significant spending on education and health. The results of high growth
should eventually lead to a corresponding decline in poverty and employment
regeneration. Poverty analysis done by the World Bank using NRVA 2005, shows that the
poverty level which was at 42 percent in 1386 is expected to decline to 28.4 percent in
1391. The projection is based on robust economic growth and no change in inequality.
To reduce poverty, ANDS has the following policy approach.
• Promoting pro-poor growth

• Promoting pro-poor budgeting
• Allocating adequate resources to the poorest areas
10
• Providing the balanced support to the Kuchis, rural and urban poor
• Improving donor coordination and aid effectiveness
• Strengthening the capacity for data collection and poverty analysis
• Building partnership between the Government and NGOs.
Security Sector Strategy

Security and stability in the country is essential for economic growth and poverty
reduction. Afghanistan still faces a number of serious security challenges. Large parts of
the country hinder the process of development and building government institutions
because of the unstable security situation. The Government if fully committed to, and is
giving high priority , to successfully: (1) implementing an integrated and comprehensive
national security policy and strategy; (2) building a robust security sector reform program;
(3) strengthening civil and military operations and coordination; (4) increasing the role of
security forces in counter-narcotics activities; and (5) strengthening the civilian
components of security entities.
The strategy includes an increase in uniformed tashkeel over the medium-term to meet the
security needs of the country and to strengthen Afghan capacity to handle any security
breaches. In agreement with the international community, it is planned to increase the size
of the ANA from its current strength of around 86,000 personnel in 1387 to 134,000
personnel by end 1389. Meanwhile, ANP strength will be same and remain constant at
82,180 in 1388, which will be able to effectively meet the security needs of the country.
This has huge fiscal and budget implications for the country. It is expected that the
international community will bear the significant cost of the security strategy for the
foreseeable future. In spite of this, the security sector is expected to be increasingly
funded by Government resources and through the national budget. The Government and
donors are expected to spend about 25 percent of all resources (both core and external
budgets) on security.
Rural Development and Agricultural Transformation

The ANDS long term strategic vision is that the transformation of agriculture is central to
poverty reduction in Afghanistan. This would require the progressive market-orientation
of agriculture, intensification of input use and specialization and diversification in
production. The key policy and institutional anchors for transformation would be
liberalization of land and agriculture inputs and products markets, access to credit,
agriculture research and extension to facilitate the wider use of improved inputs and
dissemination of technologies. Such transformation would pave the way for the
improvement in the quality of life through increased incomes and delivery of services.
As part of this strategy, the Government has started the comprehensive agriculture and
rural development program (CARD). The CARD program represents the Government’s
approach to providing diversified income sources, through income support, direct
provision of assets, skills training and market opportunities, and is crucial to providing
alternatives to producing narcotics. The principal program among the 15 programs of the
CARD is the National Solidarity Program (NSP), the Government’s main community
development program. Other programs include the National Food Security Program, the
Horticulture Program, the Livestock Program, the National Area Based Development
11
Program, the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Program, and the Rural Enterprise
Program. In the total budget, about 9-10 percent is expected to be spent in this sector in the
medium term.
Private Sector Development and Economic Infrastructure

The ANDS strategic objective is to enable the private sector to lead Afghanistan’s
development within a competitive market-based economy in which the Government is the
policy maker and regulator of the economy, not its competitor. The establishment of a
strong enabling environment for a competitive private sector is an on-going effort by both
the Government and donors. Prioritization and corporatization of state owned enterprises
is an on-going program that is on schedule. Another important component of the private
sector development strategy is the attempt to encourage increased private sector
investment by creating investor friendly regulatory frameworks for private sector
operations in the development of natural resources and infrastructure.
In the area of infrastructure, key areas include energy, mining, water resources, transport,
information and communication technology, and urban development. Major energy, water
resources, transport, and mining projects have been started in various parts of the country.
The Government with assistance from various donors has made significant progress in
implementing big transport projects including civil aviation, information technology, and
urban development. These include the ring road, link roads to neighboring countries,
upgrading of all major airports including Kabul, Herat, and Mazar-i-Sharif. In the medium
term, the Government has a commitment to spend significant resources on the
infrastructure sector. Because of the need for huge resources, 35 percent of the total
budget is expected to be spent on this sector in the medium term.
Human Development
The post reconstruction process has put priority on reviving the provision of services to
the general public. School enrolments have swelled at all levels of education and basic
health services have reached the majority of the population in the country. Afghanistan,
however, has a long way to go in this area to reach satisfactory indicators. Life
expectancy is about 46 years, which is the lowest life expectancy outside sub-Saharan
Africa. Infant and child mortality rates are amongst the highest in the world. The literacy
rate is only about 36 percent in recent years. All these important welfare indicators have to
be significantly improved.
The progress so far in this area includes a massive enrolment initiative and a seven-fold
increase in the number of teachers since 2001. There are today more than six million
children and adults receiving education. Similarly, technical and vocational education at
the secondary level through public institutions has seen a 10-fold increase in the last five
years with nearly 10,500 students enrolled. In the health sector, similar achievements have
been made. The basic package of health services has reached 82 percent of the population
by 2007 9 percent 2003. Similarly, child immunization has increased several folds.
The Government’s strategy in this area includes a further increase in school enrollment of
both boys and girls and an improvement in the quality of education. Construction of
university campuses and recruitment of qualified professors for higher education are some
of the other priorities for the education sector. In the health sector, the strategy includes an
extension of the basic package of health services and provision of an essential package of
hospital services. The Government intends to spend about 18-20 percent of the total
budget. on this sector (including social protection) in the medium term.

August 2007, the U.S. subprime mortgage market was disrupted by the slowdown in the
housing boom as interest rates increased to combat accelerating inflation. The emerging
and developing economies such as India, China, and Brazil have been less affected by the
global financial distress. Global growth is estimated to slow to 3.4 percent in 2008 which
is 1.8 percentage points lower than the growth recorded in 2007. Global growth for 2009 is
projected to slow to just 0.5 percent. A recovery is projected to start late in 2009. Inflation
both in advanced economies and emerging and developing economies is anticipated to
slow down considerably in 2009 after a significant spike in 2008 due to high commodity
and oil prices.
South Asia’s growth is expected to decline from 8.6 percent in 2007 to 7.1 percent in 2008
and to 6.7 percent in 2009 while inflation is expected to reach 11.8 percent in 2008 from
5.5 percent in 2007 and is expected to slow down to 9.2 percent in 2009.
Afghanistan’s economic context and outlook

Over the past several
years, Afghanistan has
made significant progress
towards strengthening the
foundation for
macroeconomic stability.
Progress has also been
made in the area of
political and institutional
development which has
in turn facilitated strong
economic growth. With
political and institutional
structures in place,
structural reforms are
needed to pave the way for a sound economic environment. The security situation,
however, has hampered the Government’s efforts in creating a sound economic
environment in which the private sector can flourish. Building on these gains, the ANDS
14
submitted to the donor conference held in Paris in June 2008 - provides a strategic medium
term vision to foster sustainable growth, create jobs, and tackle poverty. GDP per capita
has grown progressively from US$ 157 in 1381 to US$ 450 in 1388 and reaching to about
US$800 in 1392.
Afghanistan’s economy is characterized by the high dependence on agriculture, which
makes the economy vulnerable to weather-related shocks. Because of adverse weather
shocks, the agriculture sector has experienced negative growth rates in the recent past
including for 1387. This led to a decline in the overall growth rate.
Real GDP growth in 1386 was 11.5 percent. Available information suggests that GDP
growth will be reduced to about 3.4 percent in 1387 due to a drought-induced decline in
agricultural production. Inflation, as measured by the consumer price index for Kabul, was
about 13 percent (period average) in 1386, as a slower increase in rent prices largely offset
a faster rise in food and tremendous increase in energy prices. The spike in food prices in
1387 together with significant increases in the oil prices earlier this year is projected to
push headline inflation to about 28.2 percent in 1387. However, non-food inflation is
likely to remain around 10 percent for the year.
Due to limited exposure to foreign capital markets, the recent global financial crisis will
have little direct impact on the Afghan economy. However there are secondary effects
from the 2008 economic turbulence, including a strengthening dollar that will impact on
the purchasing power of non-dollar aid flows, and lower aid pledges as donor governments
switch expenditures towards their own domestic priorities.
Looking ahead, Afghanistan’s
medium-term prospects are
broadly favorable. Based on
preliminary projections,
agricultural growth is expected to
return to its historical trend, while
telecommunications, transport, and
trade should continue to expand at
a strong pace, and construction
activity should increase steadily,
albeit more slowly than in recent
years. Further growth prospects are
predicated on the emergence of
new economic activities, assuming
increased efficiency in the public
sector, the design of an appropriate regulatory framework for private sector activity, and
improvements in human capital and infrastructure.
Real GDP growth is expected to reach 7.4 percent in 1388 with a slight slippage due to the
agricultural sector’s slowdown in 1389 to reach 7.5 percent and deteriorate further to 7.1
percent in 1390 and to 6.9 percent in 1392. Assuming continued sound monetary and
fiscal policies, inflation is expected to decline to 6 percent in 1388. With the projected
decline in oil prices, inflation is expected to decline further to about 5 percent by 1392.
With tight monetary policy measures, the exchange rate is expected to remain stable at
around the Afs 52 per US dollar.

Fiscal Policy and Outlook
The Government's expenditure programs are planned within a pragmatic and sustainable
medium term macroeconomic and fiscal framework. Enhancing revenue mobilization,
which is part of this framework, is a necessary condition in order to provide the resources
required to support the implementation of the ANDS, to fulfill the Millennium
Development Goals and finance the provision of essential public services and build the
infrastructure required to sustain pro-poor economic growth. Thus the need for increased
revenue to ensure provision of adequate and quality public services especially for the poor
cannot be overemphasized. Over the past four years, the Government performed well in
the collection of domestic revenues; however, revenues have not been fully sufficient to
cover operating expenditures. This is despite the fact that the Government has taken
numerous steps towards reforming and strengthening tax policies and administration.
With a commitment to reach
fiscal sustainability (covering
increasing operating budget
with domestic revenues), the
Government entered into the
Poverty Reduction and Growth
Facility (PRGF) with the IMF.
Given this commitment, the
Government has to make some
hard choices in allocating
resources among sectors and
budgetary units. The
Government’s fiscal policy
approach also ensures that
Government expenditures are
aligned with the ANDS priority sectors of security, infrastructure, agriculture and rural
development, and education. Disciplined public expenditure management is a key guiding
principle of the Government of Afghanistan.
The short-term expenditure allocations outlook for 1388 and beyond looks very
challenging and will influence the medium term fiscal path. 1387 has seen a series of
emerging expenditure pressures, which may spill over into the medium-term. The recent
global food price increases and growing shortages of essential commodities are likely to
keep the pressure on the prices of essential commodities in the short to medium term. The
cost of addressing security concerns continues to escalate. While most of these costs are
borne by the external budget, decisions to increase the size of the Afghan National Army
(ANA) to 134,000 by 1389 will substantially augment the size of the operating budget.
The earlier objective of achieving fiscal sustainability in the operating budget by 1391
now looks likely to be unachievable even in 1393. If there are no cutbacks in growth of
the teacher workforce and public administration reforms in particular, donor support
through the recurrent costs window is needed until the country reaches full sustainability.
The costs associated with the Presidential election due in 1388 together with the
Parliamentary election in 1389 are projected to put additional fiscal pressures on the
Budget. The following are some of the emerging fiscal pressures over the medium term.
16
• Size of the ANA: In agreement with the international community, it is planned to
increase the size of the ANA from its current strength of around 109,000personnel
(which is above the approved strength 70,000 to which the Government will
provide salary and food) to 134,000 personnel by end 1389 (2010/11). This will
impose costs directly to the operating budget for food and accommodation. The
additional cost (salary and food) of additional personnel in 1389 is estimated to be
Afs 3,814 million in 1388, Afs 7,679 million in 1389, Afs 9,520 million in 1390
and rise to a steady annual cost of Afs 9,884 million from 1392 onwards. The
Ministry of Finance has already provide its assurance that it will only fund salary
and food and for up to a maximum of 70,000 ANA personnel. The additional
amount would only be accommodated in the budget of Ministry of Defense based
on the firm commitment by a donor to support the additional troops. The ANA also
receives a top-up from Combined Security Transitional Command-Afghanistan
(CSTC-A) which is Afs 5.04 billion in 1388 and reaching Afs 6.15 billion in 1392
which will be provided to ANA personnel up on the receipt of written commitment
from the donor to support it.
Currently the overwhelming majority of operating and equipment costs are met
through the external budget. However donors plan to shift this cost to the
Government budget slowly, which will put considerable strain on the objective of
achieving fiscal sustainability in the medium term.
• Public Administration Reform for the Non-uniform staff - Pay & Grading
(P&G):. The Pay and Grading changes are part of a process of developing a better
civil service, with remuneration tied more to qualification and performance than to
seniority and nepotism. Reforms was planned to be started in 1385 and will
continue until 1391 where they are expected to be fully implemented. Now the
plan is to start the implementation in 1388 and implement it in 1391. There would
be two tiers of civil servants in the P&G. Tier one, non-teachers civil servants and
tier two teachers. The plan for non-teachers civil servants is that P&G would be
implemented in four years starting from 1388 and ending in 1391. It is planned that
31,000 (21 percent) civil servants will enter P&G scheme in 1388, followed by
62,000 (43 percent), 97,000 (67 percent), and 144,000 (100 percent) in 1389-91,
respectively. Priority during the process would be given to the already PRR
positions. For tier two, which will be teachers, the Cabinet approved plan for the
implementation of P&G for teachers was two years but now due to limited room in
the budget, the teachers’ P&G would be implemented in three years. The plan may
change subject to availability of room in the budget. In 1388, 56,000(33%)
teachers would enter the P&G scheme, followed by 33 percent in 1389, and 34
percent in 1390. There would also be addition of 12,500 teachers under the P&G
scheme from 1389-91. The net cost of P&G scheme is assumed to Afs 2.5 billion,
Afs 5.5 billion, Afs 9.7 billion, Afs 13.16 billion, and Afs 13.78 billion in 1388-92,
respectively .The first group of civil servants is expected to commence on a new
classification and the reward standards by the end of 1387 and start getting the
P&G salary from the beginning of 1388. The remaining staff – and all teachers,
including new appointees – will be transferred over during 1388-1391, with the full
effect being visible in 1392. It should also be noted that Afs 500 million has been
allocated for the new PRR from 1388-92.
• Judiciary Pay reform: Pay reform has undergone for the Supreme Court which
will increase the average monthly salary for professional staff from Afs
17
9,150($183) at the beginning of 1387 to Afs 26,550($531) at the beginning of
1388. The total number of judiciary officials that come under the Pay reform
process are 2,081. The total cost of judiciary Pay reform for 1387 amounts to Afs
625 million while the cost for 1388 is projected to be around Afs 665 million and
will continue
• Pension: Pension payments currently represent a small portion of the total annual
budget. The pension receipt category represents civilian pensioners, military
pensioners, pensions to the disabled and pensions to martyrs. The average annual
pension per person per year is Afs 22,500 and Afs 47,500 for the civilian
pensioners and military pensioners respectively. Afs 650 per person goes to
disabled and the families of martyrs annually. The annual projected cost of
pensions for 1387 amount to Afs 2.9 billion while it will increase to Afs 3.8 billion
in 1388 as more and more civil servants and military officials retire. Based on
Presidential decree, there is also additional pressure of Afs 750 million for the
pension of pre-1382 military retirees to be paid an increase of 75 percent on top of
their existing pension rate starting from 1388. It will be paid until the new pension
law is enactive.
Comprehensive reform of the pension system remains a priority of the

Government. Most recently, the Government has developed a comprehensive
reform strategy and initiated the process of drafting new pension regulations. The
Government formed a senior steering committee on pension reform tasked to
oversee the process of the reform policy formulation whilst a legal drafting process
was initiated by the end of 2007. The revised pension scheme will remain a pay-as-
you-go system.
• Education: Teachers were granted an additional salary payment of Afs 1,300 per
month from May 2008, which implies additional expenditures of Afs 2,150 for
1387. This increase will be absorbed over time into the P&G system with about
one third of all current teachers to be transferred to the new structure in 1388 and
the remaining in 1389 and 1390. The Afs 1,300 would remain a pressure until the
teachers are transferred in P&G scheme. Further, cost pressures on the budget arise
from the decision to recruit an additional 62,500 teachers over the medium-term.
• Fuel: Afghanistan continues to partly rely on diesel powered electricity generation

due to slow progress on the expansion of hydro-power and the delays in connecting
to the regional grid, particularly to Tajikistan. There is slow progress in improving
the efficiency and revenue collection of DABS (Da Afghanistan Breshna Shirkat,
Afghanistan’s power corporation). New diesel capacity is being provided by the
international community (notably the US and Iran). The estimated fiscal impact in
1388- 1391 is Afs 8 billion assuming Afs 2 billion in each year. It should be noted
that these figures are subject to the agreement between DABS and MoF.
• Elections: In the absence of any comparable consolidated figures and tight budget
constraints on election-related spending, it is not possible to estimate what amount
is needed for the upcoming two elections (the Presidential election in 1388 and
Parliamentary election in 1389). Each election will cost significant amount of
money based on the cost of previous elections. However, it is believed that the
upcoming elections will cost much more than the previous elections due to the
18
volatile security conditions. We have not accommodated this increase in the MTFF
but it may prove to be a major fiscal pressure in the coming years.
Medium-term Fiscal Strategy (1388-92)

The main objective of the fiscal policy of the Government is to maintain macroeconomic
and fiscal stability, poverty reduction, and sustained economic growth. Over the past few
years the sound fiscal policy adapted by the Government enabled the Government to
making more effective use of available public resources and address the needs associated
with the volatile domestic environment. Over the past few years the focus has also been
diverted to investing in improving the quality of service delivery.
The Government has embarked on the medium-term fiscal strategy to ensure that fiscal
stance is sustainable and will help to promote long-term growth prospects and assist in
poverty reduction in the current global financial turmoil. The macroeconomic environment
will be designed in a way that can facilitate the development of private sector and making
it the real engine of sustained economic growth.
The main objective of the fiscal strategy over the medium-term is to ensure that domestic
resources are adequate enough to finance the operating budget and the recurrent cost
associated with the gross capital formation of the Government. The development of
Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) called Afghanistan National Development
Strategy (ANDS) has paved the way to prioritize the available domestic resources and
donor financing in the appropriate context.
These developments underscore the continuing need to operate prudent fiscal policy and
maintain a strong fiscal position in the long-run. The Government is also taking
appropriate measures to increase domestic revenue. This can be done by broadening the
revenue base, strengthening the revenue administration and audit capacity, tax
enforcement mechanism, and increase in compliance rate that will promote revenue
generation avoiding any distortion. The Government is committed to strengthen the budget
formulation and execution procedures to assist the implementation of ANDS and
increasing public confidence. The Government will work towards increasing the
transparency of public finances by timely production of fiscal reports.
The first stage of the fiscal planning tools which is Medium-term Fiscal Framework
(MTFF) developed in 2005 was a successful exercise. The MTFF outlines the fiscal
frameworks based on projections for broad fiscal aggregates that are consistent with key
macroeconomic variables and fiscal targets. Broad fiscal aggregates (i.e. revenue and
expenditures) are projected based on macroeconomic variables (i.e. growth and inflation)
donors’ pledges and commitments, and policy measures. The adoption of MTFF served as
a platform of confidence on the Government operations and played a key role in securing
donor financing for the Afghanistan compact in London conference on Afghanistan in late
1385 (2005/06).
19
The second stage of Medium-term Frameworks (MTFs) which is Medium-term Budget
Framework (MTBF); which the Government has already initiated; goes further beyond
MTFF by allocating spending envelopes across different sectors and by giving the line
ministries and agencies a green signal for prioritizing their needs based on the their
relevant sector’s strategy and under the country’s overall development priorities set under
the ANDS and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). A well developed MTBF
provides the foundation for sound fiscal policy, budgeting linked to policy, and achieving
macro-fiscal stability. The MTBF will assist in strengthening the Government’s strategic
decision making process related to the national budget by involving different line
ministries/agencies which will improve the national planning and budget process.
The third and final stage of MTFs is Medium-term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).
MTEF will assist in sectoral allocation of spending across different programs and projects
based on the detailed costing as outlined under the sector strategies of each sector and
ANDS. MTEF also provides indication of output and outcomes under a program. In
Afghanistan, based on the ANDS priorities, the sectoral strategies have been developed
and the costing process has already been initiated in priority sectors (i.e. Health,
Education, and Transport). Ministry of Finance is leading and coordinating the process of
ANDS. The costing will enable the line ministries/agencies to align their budget with
ANDS and Afghanistan Compact benchmarks, within the resource envelope.
Fiscal policy in Afghanistan has been geared towards stabilization and launching the
country on a sustainable growth path. Government reforms have focused on improving the
level and efficiency of revenue generation. With a commitment to achieve fiscal
sustainability, the Government has programmed a modest growth – especially wage
growth – in the operating budget. To reach ANDS objectives, however, fiscal policy
remained expansionary given the extent of reconstruction needs of the country. The
pattern of spending has focused on investing in the depleted human resources and
rebuilding institutions for good governance. Because of these developments, the earlier
objective of achieving fiscal sustainability in the operating budget by 1391 now looks very
unlikely to be achieved before 1393.
In 1387, domestic revenues are expected be around Afs. 40,100 million compared to Afs
33,645 million in 1386, an increase of 19.12 percent. Domestic revenues for 1388-1392
are expected to increase against the 1387. For 1388, 1389, 1390, 1391, and 1392 with the
revenue increase being 26 percent,22 percent, 21 percent, 20 percent, and 18 percent
respectively over the horizon. In other words, domestic revenues will be more than double
over the next five years. The Ministry of Finance is putting in place a range of measures
to increase domestic revenues. Unless these measures are fully supported by various stake
holders (Government agencies, Parliament, and the private sector), the Government and
the Parliament will have to exercise tighter controls over expenditures.
With a commitment to reach fiscal sustainability (covering increasing operating budget
with domestic revenues), the Government entered into the Poverty Reduction and Growth
Facility (PRGF) with the IMF. Given this commitment, the Government has to make some
hard choices in allocating resources among sectors and budgetary units. Unless additional
and sustained donor support is provided to the core budget, new spending to meet ANDS
priorities cannot take place. It is imperative that ministries maintain strict fiscal discipline
20
and take a shared responsibility to use existing resources as effectively as possible and
absorb additional expenditure pressures from existing funds rather than proposing any new
expenditures.
The short-term expenditure allocations outlook for 1388 and beyond looks very
challenging and will influence the medium term fiscal path. The following are some of the
emerging fiscal pressures over the medium term (more details are available in the chapter).
• Increase in the size of the Afghan National Army

• Public administration reform for the non-uniform staff - Pay & Grading (P&G)
• Judiciary Pay & Grading reform
• Comprehensive pension reform
• Increased enrolment and improved higher education
• Fuel costs for electricity generators
• Pensions

Donors’ Grants to Core Budget
Grants from our international development partners

Donor grants play two important roles in Afghanistan. First, they support much ongoing
(recurrent) expenditure, in particular in the security sector. Second, they fund nearly the
entirety of the GoA’s development expenditures. As well as tracking past performance the
MTFF forecasts future grant receipts, which, particularly for development budget grants,
is an imprecise exercise due to the uncertainly that surrounds future support from donors.
Recurrent grants
There are three sources of grant support to the recurrent budget. The Afghanistan
Reconstruction Trust Fund (Recurrent Cost window – ARTF-RC), the Law and Order
Trust Fund, which supports the Afghan National Police, and support channeled through
the Combined Security Transition Command – Afghanistan (CSTC-A) which supports the
Afghan National Army and some other security expenditures.
The recurrent grants to the security sector are one of the least certain financing sources and
are one of the most difficult to predict for future years. Donor’s and the Government of
Afghanistan have begun to take steps to improve this situation with the establishment of
security sector working groups that bring together the Ministries of Defence, Interior and
Finance, together with representatives from CSTC-A and LOTFA. The Terms of
Reference for the working groups are to coordinate the gradual movement of security
sector support from the external budget to the core budget, and to strengthen forward
projections of donor assistance to a rapidly expanding security sector.
Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (Recurrent Cost window). The ARTF-RC

has provided an average of Afs 14.2 billion per year between 1384 and 1387. For 1387
there was an additional one off grant to help fund an increase in teacher’s salaries.
From mid-1387 discussions have been underway on how to revise the ARTF-RC funding
mechanism so to provide a scheduled exit mechanism for donors and offer more certainty
to the GoA on future ARTF-RC funds. It has been agreed that ARTF-RC funding will
decline by Afs 1.3 billion per year ($25 million) from 1387 levels and hence will run down
to zero over the next 10 years (reaching zero in 1398). On the other hand, The GoA
should increase its domestic revenues to reach fiscal sustainability.
Law and Order Trust Fund. LOTFA grants have averaged Afs 5.6 billion ($110
million) per year 1384-87 and have been increasing in recent years as the size of the
Afghan National Police has increased (to an expected 82,000 by end 1387). For 1388 the
forecast LOFTA grant is expected to more than double to nearly Afs 20 billion.
Combined Security Transition Command – Afghanistan. CSTC-A support is primarily
focused on the Afghan National Army. CSTC-A grants fund a series of salary top-ups to
ANA personnel, and from 1387 these top-ups have increased by $20 per month. CSTC-A
also provide assistance toward meeting the cost of feeding the expanded army.
27
Additionally there are a series of small grants to Afghanistan’s military high schools, and a
variety of medical, reenlistment and other incentive payments.
The Government has committed to funding the core costs of a strong 70,000 army.
Currently however assistance is required to fund the entire cost of expanding the army
beyond this size. At the time of forming the 1388 budget the level of CSTC-A support
had not been confirmed and hence the security expenditures for an army larger than
70,000 are contingent on receiving grants to support these expenditures.
Development Grants
The development budget is considerably more dependent on grant funding than the
operating budget. The two largest sources are from ARTF investment window ($302
million allocated in 1388) and the World Bank ($297.9 million). Grants from the Asian
Development Bank are also significant ($134.4 million) and together all the other donors
contribute $138 million, bringing the total to $903 million (Afs 46.9 billion). This
excludes carry-over funding from 1387, which will only be known in early 1388, but is
estimated to be in the region of US$700 – US$1,000 million. Included in this carry-over
are funds from the ADB’s FMPAR program (Fiscal Management and Public
Administration Reform) and the World Bank’s PSIB grant (Programmatic Support for
Institution Building).
As with grants to the operating budget, development grants are difficult to forecast. Many
donors simply do not know what funds they will make available in future years.
For the MTFF the base assumption is that funding levels will remain constant in dollar
terms over the projection period. This is far from satisfactory given how much funding
can jump from year to year. Pledges for new funding are in part dependent on what was
spent in the previous year. If a development project runs much slower than originally
envisaged there is little incentive for the donor to put forward new money in addition to
what is being carried over. This assumption drives a future projection of there being
between $850 and $950 million in new funding each year up to 1392.
Assumptions of the MTFF in 1389 and beyond

The government of Afghanistan’s operating budget increases year on year broadly in line
with inflation. MTFF determines the operating ceilings based on the following
assumptions:
¾ Wages and Salaries are indexed with half projected inflation

¾ Goods and services are indexed with full projected inflation
¾ Capital is indexed with projected Nominal GDP Growth
¾ Policy Reserves + contingency fund for emergencies should not exceed 3% of total
line ministries operating budget.
The short-term outlook for 1387 and 1388 is looking very challenging and that will
influence the medium-term. 1387 has seen a series of emerging expenditure pressures
28
which together present a major challenge for the maintenance of the operating budget and
in particular in 1387 and some of these will flow through into 1388 and beyond. The
increases in fuel and food prices, combined with a continuing and growing food shortage
domestically look likely to keep the pressure on in the short to medium-term. The cost of
addressing security concerns continues to escalate and while most of these costs are borne
on the external budget, decisions to increase the size of the Afghan National Army to
134,000 by 1389 (2010/11) will substantially impact the operating budget.
The objective of achieving fiscal sustainability by 1393 looks very likely to be achieved
not by the target date. If there are not cutbacks in growth of the teacher workforce and
public administration reforms in particular, donor support through the Recurrent Costs
window will be needed for at least that time. The costs associated with the Presidential
election due in 1388 together with the Parliamentary election in 1389 are not projected in
increase.
Expenditures for 1388 and beyond

The overall expenditures in the Core Budget are planned to be Afs 152,048 million (US$
2,924 million), a decrease of increase of 18 percent, over the 1387 Mid-Year Review. The
decrease is mainly due to the carry forward projects of the development budget. The
budget may increase by about Afs 50 billion after the accounts for 1387 are closed. The
increase in the operating expenditures reflects the growing need for core sectors such
security and education. In the operating budget, the security sector (47 percent) and the
Ministry of Education (15 percent) continue to absorb significant shares of expenditures.
The operating budget will be increased from Afs 73.26 billion (USD 1,465 million) in
1387 to Afs 93.9 billion (USD 1,807 million) in 1388. The major drivers of this are the
(ANA, ANP) and the education sector. The rapid acceleration plan of the ANA to reach a
size of 109,314 at the end of 1388 compared to 63,000 in 1386. The acceleration of ANP
to reach 109,314 in 1388 from 70,000 approved and around 86,000 actual in 1387 is
expected to cost an additional Afs 4 billion. The increase in the education sector (about
Afs 14.47 billion) is mainly due to the recruitment of 5,000 additional teachers to meet the
anticipated higher student enrolment in schools and Afs 1,300 per person per month pay
rise from early 1387. The marginal cost of the Pay and Grading scheme is estimated at Afs
3 billion in 1388. The creation of the new Independent Directorate of Local Governance
(IDLG) to improve local governance is expected to cost Afs 1.5 billion in 1388.
The operating budget is 26 percent higher in 1388 compared to 1387. Operating budget as
a percent of GDP would reach 13.6 percent in 1388 as compared to 12.2 percent in 1387.
The share of wages including the security sector (ANA and ANP) in the operating budget
is currently about 70 percent. Similarly, operating budget as a percent of GDP will
increase to 13.6 percent of GDP in 1389 and 1390, respectively. The major driver of the
increase is the P&G implementation and increase of ANA to 134,000 by end of 1389.
Operating budget as a share of GDP would experience a declining trend thereafter and will
reach 12.4 percent of GDP by 1392.
29
Revenues
Afghanistan’s revenue to
GDP has improved
significantly over time
except in 1386. In 1386,
revenue to GDP ratio fell
to 7 percent due to the bad
performance in the
collection of customs
duties.
Customs revenues have
always contributed the
largest share to
Afghanistan’s domestic
revenues, with a 50
percent share. However, domestic taxes have been steadily increasing since 1382 as the
economy has grown and tax collection efforts have been more successful. The share of
tax revenue has grown from 60 percent in 1382 to around 75 percent in 1386. The total
revenues were Afs 20,652 million (6.4 percent of GDP) in 1384, Afs 28,712 million (7.5
percent of GDP) in 1385, and Afs 33,645 million (7.0 percent of GDP) in 1386. The
projected target for 1387 is set at Afs 40,000 million (6.6 percent of GDP). The
Government is steadily approaching the target of self sustainability by increasing
revenues.
At 7-8 percent of GDP, Afghanistan’s domestic revenue as share of GDP is one of the
lowest in the world. Typically in most developed countries, the share of revenue to GDP
falls in the range of 40 to 50 percent compared to 15-20 percent in most developing
countries. High levels of pension entitlements and welfare measures in developed
countries need high taxation levels. For Afghanistan, there are many reasons for low
revenues including: (1) small private sector; (2) large informal economy with a dominant
agriculture sector; and (3) low compliance and domestic revenue mobilization.
Donor grants, notably

through the ARTF
which finances both the
ordinary and
development budgets,
and LOTFA, which
finances the Afghan
National Police (ANP),
have played an
important role in having
predictable resources
available for the
country. In 1386 the
ARTF financed around
$275.4 million with
another $276 million in 1387. LOTFA financing is about $142 million in 1386, and
forecasted to reach $163 million in 1387.
30
Revenues for 1388 and beyond
In 1388, domestic revenues are
expected to increase at a healthy
pace of 26 percent over the 1387
target. The total revenues are
expected to be Afs 50,600 million
(USD 973.07 million). Taxes on
income, profit, property and
capital gains in expected to
increase to Afs 10.31 billion (6
percent). Customs duties are
expected to increase by 8 percent.
Domestic taxes on goods ans
services is expected to increase by
Afs 5.7 billion (235 percent).The
medium term looks promising given the ambitious reforms and new policies in revenues.
Domestic revenue receipts are a key target under the Poverty Reduction and Growth
Facility program that the Government of Afghanistan is implementing in partnership with
the International Monetary Fund (IMF). These medium term projections of domestic
revenue are formulated in collaboration with the IMF, and form the basis of the revenue
forecasts for the MTFF. The Government is targeting to reach fiscal sustainability in the
medium term. The estimates and revenue forecasts are based on the following policy
assumptions to be carried out in 1388.
Ongoing and planned reforms in Revenue
Administration
Liquidation and privatization of State Owned Enterprises (SOEs): The Government of
Afghanistan is continuing work on a program of liquidating or privatizing most of the
State Owned Enterprises. Part of the proceeds of these liquidations will be applied to past
unpaid taxes for these enterprises and to the income tax liabilities that arises in respect of
the sale or transfer of assets under the liquidation process.
Review of tax exemptions of donor contractors/subcontractors: Efforts continue to
progressively review the claimed tax exemptions of major donor contractors and
subcontractors to ensure that such exemptions have been correctly applied in terms of the
overriding donor agreements. A particular area being focused on is ensuring that certain
World Bank contractors are correctly paying taxes following the earlier decision of the
World Bank to fund the tax expenses of its contractors since 1385.
Expanding the Large and Medium Taxpayer Offices (LTO, MTOs): The Large Taxpayer
Office now handles the tax affairs of about 150 of Afghanistan’s largest taxpayers, which
between them now pay 35 percent of domestic tax collections in Afghanistan. To further
strengthen the work of the LTO, the staffing is being increased by 50 percent, and this will
assist in identifying and managing the tax affairs of the largest taxpayers that are based in
provinces outside Kabul. The Medium Taxpayer Office in Kabul is also being expanded
by increasing its staffing by 50 percent. Later in 1388, the Government intends to
commence establishing 5 Medium Taxpayer Offices, starting in mid-2009 with Herat, with
others to follow in Mazar-i-Sharif, Jalalabad, Kandahar and Kunduz.
31
Expanding the tax base across business sectors. Non-compliance issues are being
progressively addressed on a sector by sector basis focusing on those with the highest tax
liabilities first. High levels of tax compliance are now achieved in the telecommunications,
banking, airline and hotel sectors. The current focus is now on the security, construction
and wedding hall sectors.
Continuing to roll out the implementation of ASYCUDA to customs border posts:
Following initial implementation and roll out of the internationally recognized
ASYCUDA software to the Herat province, the computer system will continue to be rolled
out to other provinces.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industries will continue to strengthen the single
registration body for all investments and businesses that was established in 1387. This
body aims to reduce confusion and overlap regarding the registration of businesses and the
payment of business taxes.
Continuing to assist selected Line Ministries in their collection of revenues. The ongoing
focus is on the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation (in respect of over-flight
revenues, landing and parking fees, and airport departure fees) and in respect of the
establishment of revenue collection processes for the new Kabul International Airport.
Policy changes
A number of significant changes to revenue laws and practices are due to come into effect
from the beginning of the 1388 tax year. The focus of these legal amendments has been
on:
1. Reforming the business receipts tax (BRT) in preparation for its future replacement by
a fully operational value-added tax (VAT)
Two specific revenue expanding measures proposed are:

i. The introduction of 2 percent Business Receipts Tax on imports
ii. The extension of the 2 percent withholding tax on Government
contractors to also cover private sector contractors
2. Simplifying the tax system by rationalizing the range of fixed taxes and “nuisance”
taxes collected by the Ministry of Finance through the drafting of four laws during
2009 which will together comprise a “tax code” for Afghanistan.
The four laws are planned to be:

i. a revised and simplified Income Tax Law
ii. a new Business Receipts Tax Law
iii. a new Tax Administration Law
iv. a new Value Added Tax Law
The first three of these laws would be implemented immediately after their approval by
Parliament. The Value Added Tax Law would replace the Business Receipts Tax Law a
year after the former law has been approved by Parliament. VAT is thus expected to be
implemented in 2011.
32
Non-grant financing
Borrowing
The Government of Afghanistan adheres to a strict policy of no domestic or non-
concessional foreign borrowing for fiscal purposes. The only borrowing undertaken is to
finance development projects and only if it is on concessional terms. Current loans
include those from the Saudi Fund for Development, the Asian Development Bank, the
Islamic Development Bank and the World Bank. In recent years loan disbursements for
development expenditures have been small (typically financing under 20 percent of total
development spending) and is declining.
Sale of Government Assets

The sale of government assets plays an important role in the financing of government
operations. However the Government recognizes that these sales are one-offs and hence
are not a sustainable source of financing for the future. Since 1385 large sales have taken
place, every two years; the sale of Telecom licenses and the Kunar Woods timber
concession in 1385 (Afs 2.3bn), no significant sales in 1386, and the first Aynak copper
mining license payment in 1387 (Afs 4 bn). In 1388 we do not expect any significant
receipts from sales of government assets, however in 1389 we forecast the second Aynak
payment will be made, totalling Afs 8.3 billion ($160 million at the current exchange rate)
with this payment being dependent on the successful completion of the copper mining
feasibility study. For future projections we cautiously assume that sales (excluding the ‘big
items’) total Afs 40 million per year, which is extrapolated from sales in the first three
quarters of 1387.
Government Reserves
The Treasury Single Account is the Government’s principal bank account. The TSA is
where domestic revenues are deposited, expenditures paid from, where any surplus is
saved for future years and where any deficit is funded if no other resources are available.
In 1387 the stock of funds in the TSA is forecast to decline, despite the Aynak payment
received in month 7. This is due to unexpected expenditures that exceeded our budgeted
emergency reserves – principally the purchase of emergency wheat supplies. For future
years the level of the TSA declines slightly, with replenishment in 1388 following the
second Aynak payment.
33
RISKS AND UNCERTAINITIES
The dominant risk remains the security situation. While the costs of the growth of the
ANA are more or less covered, or the immediate potential additional pressures recognized,
one significant impact of the security situation is on the collection of revenue (including
the costs of collection) and the problem of continued nuisance taxes. Both inhibit the
growth of trade and the ability of the productive economy to grow. If however, the
security situation meant the withdrawal of physical and financial support that would create
a very substantial risk to the fiscal path.
The potential impact of the current international financial crises on Afghanistan is not well
understood at this stage. On one hand, the relative disengagement of Afghanistan from the
world financial system could insulate it from some of the major problems. On the other
hand there are two or three possible areas where there could be risk.
• First, the contributions to ANDS are generally denominated in US Dollars

although there are numerous currencies involved. Some governments may preserve
their pledge level in their domestic currency but exchange movements could
reduce the number of US dollars (and thus Afghanis) available in the medium term
to meet the priorities identified in the ANDS.
• Second, some Governments’ own budgetary circumstances might delay or reduce
the amount available for aid to Afghanistan. At this stage the MTFF has not
attempted to reflect any risk assessment other than to assume pledges are under the
line.
• Third, regional global recession effects both positively and negatively the afghan
economy. On the positive side, most of the commodity prices are falling whilst the
global demand for afghan goods are declining in the international market.
In 1387 the Government did not meet some agreed benchmarks for the release of funds
from major multi-lateral agencies, thus causing some significant changes to short term
plans. Slow progress in some areas of public administration reform continues to place
some potentially discretionary funds at risk. The MTFF does not count that as revenue
above the line and the budget does not program them for expenditure.
There are no current proposals before Cabinet or the Parliament for new revenue sources.
This will impose considerable pressure on the existing revenue base and make it
imperative that the revenue agencies (Customs and Taxation) meet or exceed current
targets. While the tax revenue trends are up, the current border revenue collection – the
majority of the revenue base – are lagging. This problem could be exacerbated by
slowdown in economic and trade activity leading to lower volumes, by unseasonal
conditions preventing movement or a deterioration in security. Actions to bolster
collection capacity and efficiency are in place to reduce some of the risk but there is still a
medium level risk. The IMF PRGF conditions are being enforced strictly for 1388 and
beyond. Should revenue collections fall significantly, expenditure reductions will have to
34
be introduced or delayed, if no new revenue options can be identified and passed through
the Parliament.
The main source of operating budget financing has been through the recurrent cost
window of the ARTF where donors make “unreferenced” grants to the budget. This allows
the Government maximum flexibility in the expenditure of these funds (subject to strict
accountability and account rules) and has in recent years allowed the capacity to benefit
from slow disbursement by building up surplus funds for discretionary capital investment
unlikely to be covered by donors from their preference allocations under the investment
window of ARTF. As Afghanistan moves gradually from emergency management and an
extremely low domestic revenue base, as planned and is occurring, there has been some
questioning of the continuation of the level of funding available from the recurrent
window and the agreement between the Government and the ARTF donors has just been
reached on a steady decline of ARTF recurrent window by US$ 25 million (Afs 1,300) per
year. This also put a serious pressure on the prioritization of available resources in the
environment where everything is a priority. While overall allocations through ARTF may
be maintained it is possible that the mix could change, potentially leaving the Government
vulnerable to short term shocks such as another food shortage or externally driven price
changes for fuel. This is currently under joint assessment between the donors and the
Ministry of Finance, with the main impact is to be absorbed from 1388 onwards. Current
provisions from ARTF in the MTFF therefore are adjusted in future. This would also have
a spin off effect on the need to increase domestic revenue collection.
On the expenditure side the main risks and uncertainties (food, fuel, salaries and expansion
of security forces) have been identified elsewhere in this paper. The LOTFA donors have
also informed the MoF about the Government gradually taking over the food cost for ANP
from 1389 which is currently been paid by LOTFA. It also imposes a significant risk on
the budget for the coming years. One significant risk is still unknown and very difficult to
cost. That is the impact of annual operating and maintenance costs of the product of
capital investment. As major infrastructure investment is realized and handed over to the
government the costs of maintaining them will be transferred to the annual operating
budget. While there could be some offsetting efficiencies, there are likely to be significant
pressures. This includes schools, medical centers and office buildings; roads and bridges;
electricity generating plant and irrigation works among others. The MoF will commence a
major review of this aspect of budget pressure in 1388, together with the major ministries
affected.
35
BUDGET REFORMS AND PAST BUDGET
PERFORMANCE
Strengthening the Effectiveness of Public Finances
The recent budget reforms that have been introduced by the Ministry of Finance are aimed
at achieving results for government spending and good governance. The Government
intends to improve performance by providing results-orientation to policy making and
prioritization. The reforms have also helped to put together an orderly process of
budgeting and to build institutions for good governance and accountability.
The national budgets of 1381, 1382, and 1383 were prepared mostly to meet emergency
needs and immediate rehabilitation of basic services. Starting from the budgets of 1384
and 1385, national budgets started incorporating elements of a clear policy reflecting
medium-term priorities of the I-ANDS and the Afghanistan Compact. With the completion
of the ANDS, the Government has assumed the role of implementing ANDS through the
national budget. The following processes and reform initiatives are expected to improve
the effectiveness of public finances.
Aligning Budget Allocations with ANDS and Government Priorities

In order to use domestic revenues and foreign assistance effectively, the Government
should be able to align financial resources with ANDS priorities and enhance absorption
capacity to improve project execution and quality of projects. Linking the ANDS to the
budget process involves participation of ministries, provincial authorities, donors and the
Parliament. As part of this process, the Government has taken efforts to develop a multi-
year perspective in strategic resource allocation for the period 1387-1391. To develop
such multi-year prioritization and turn the annual budget into a more policy-oriented tool,
the Ministry of Finance has introduced a number of technical instruments and initiatives.
These include: (a) the introduction of a medium term budgeting framework (MTBF), (b)
program budgeting in key ministries, (c) provincial budgeting in a number of provinces,
and (d) costing of sector strategies. In the medium term, these initiatives are expected to
produce desired results not only in terms of linking budget allocations and ANDS, but also
in terms of improving the overall service delivery throughout the country.
To develop this prioritization framework which is essential for the implementation of the
ANDS and other Government priorities, the Ministry of Finance and the Oversight
Committee discussed extensively the prioritization approach for public expenditures
among sectors and ministries. In this process, MoF and ANDS have critically looked at
previous budget allocations and achievements. These extensive discussions and
consultations have led to prioritization and allocation of resources (both domestic
resources and donor assistance) among sectors and ministries for the period 1387-1391.
The process also recommended shifts in resource allocations from the past to achieve
Government objectives and ANDS priorities.
36
Ownership of the Government in Prioritization and Budget Allocations
Box: Criteria for Prioritization with a Sector/Ministry
Expenditures must contribute, directly or indirectly, to the ANDS. Expenditure will be targeted at those activities
which the private sector cannot realistically be expected to undertake.
Expenditures will target those activities which can be shown to have high socio-economic impact, as measured by
rates of return or other quantitative/qualitative criteria.
Expenditures will target the activities that local communities have identified as important to them.
Expenditures will be directed to well planned activities for which realistic and modest unit costs have been
identified and where there is a well-developed expenditure proposal.
Expenditures that reduce future recurrent costs will be prioritised, for example non-wage funds (books, materials
and teacher training) to schools, road maintenance, and water supply.
Expenditures will be targeted at those activities which can affordably be extended to the whole relevant target
population, rather than those which could only be delivered to a few.
Activities that are labour intensive and create necessary infrastructure for development will be prioritised.
Activities that favour disadvantaged groups, including activities which address gender or age-based inequities and
protect the rights of children, and activities that reduce economic inequality will be prioritised.
International experiences show that government ownership is important in effectively

implementing national development strategies. Recent World Bank studies (of
implementation of PRSPs) show that, among all the factors, government ownership of the
development strategy (as in the case with the ANDS) and its implementation is the most
important factor that contributed to successful implementation. Given the large external
budgets in Afghanistan relative to the core development budgets in recent years and
limited reporting systems by donors, links between the overall strategies of the
Government and budget allocations (mainly external budgets) have been limited. This
asymmetrical ownership and mismatch of the national development strategies and budget
allocations is expected to produce less than optimum results in the sectors.
To create strong ownership of the Government in the prioritization process and allocation
of resources among sectors consistent with Government-led development strategies, the
Ministry of Finance and the Oversight Committee conducted a number of high level
meetings. The strong collaboration between the Ministry of Finance and the ANDS in
aligning budget allocations with Government/ANDS priorities has produced strong
ownership by the Government. As a result of this process, for the first time, the
Government is able to prioritize budget allocations to implement the priorities as
contained in the ANDS.
Costing ANDS Priorities

Costing of programs and projects is necessary in order to align development strategies
with available resources in a prioritized manner. Costing is an essential policy tool for
quantifying the needs in terms of human resources, infrastructure, and financial resources
required to meet annual and medium-term targets. It is therefore important to better link
ANDS objectives with medium term expenditure frameworks and budgets. Its entry points
are long-term development targets that are broken down into (realistic) annual milestones.
The costing exercise answers the question of how much it will take in terms of resources
to provide certain interventions that are necessary for targets/milestones being fulfilled.
37
The Ministry of Finance (MoF) was tasked to lead the exercise with close collaboration
with line ministries. Costing was started in October 2007 on a pilot basis with the
Education Sector, the Health Sector and the Road component of Transport Sector. As part
of this process, the Ministry of Finance provided five year ceilings to ministries so that
ministries can cost their priority programs and projects within their respective ceilings.
Before the Paris conference in June 2008, the exercise was rolled out to four sectors i.e.
Education, Health, Infrastructure and Social Protection. After the Paris conference all the
17 sectors have been included in the costing exercise. Even though the process is ongoing,
most of the important ministries have completed the exercise. Those ministries that have
completed the costing exercise have used costing information in their budget submissions.
This process is expected to improve the alignment of budget allocations with ANDS
strategies and outcomes.
Program Budgeting
With the development and adoption of the ANDS, sector and ministry strategies, the
Government now requires a more transparent mechanism to operationalize these strategies
and subsequently measure ministries’ progress towards the achievement of their priorities
and policies. Program budgeting is one such mechanism. The program budgeting
mechanism also integrates the operating and development budgets, which in turn will
produce efficient budgetary outcomes.
To better link strategic objectives and policy priorities with the annual budget and
prioritize the available funds, the MoF has introduced program budgeting for the 1386
budget. Program budgeting is being introduced on a gradual basis. An initial group of
three ministries was selected to prepare the 1386 budget in program form (Ministry of
Education, Ministry of Public Health and Ministry of Rehabilitation and Rural
Development).
For the preparation of the 1387 program budgets, four additional ministries have been
added: the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Water and Management, the Ministry
of Public Works and the Ministry of Finance. For 1388, fifteen budgetary units in total
will be included for program budgeting. The plan is to have all line ministries and
independent budgetary units in the GoA introduce program budgeting in the next year or
two (please see program budgeting annex for more details). .
Provincial Budgeting
The Government has also adopted a provincial budgeting system for the 1386 budget on a
gradual basis with three ministries (Ministry of Education, Ministry of Agriculture, and
Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development) and three provinces (Balkh, Panjshir,
and Kandahar). Its main theme was to enable the provincial authorities to formulate,
execute, monitor, and improve the budget in their areas of jurisdiction. The ministries
essentially consult the provincial authorities and stakeholders for addressing their local
development needs and priorities. About 18 provinces will be covered for the 1388 budget
involving 7 line ministries. It is expected that all provinces and ministries will get involved
in provincial budgeting within 2-3 years (please see annex on provincial budgeting for
complete details).
In the provincial budgeting process, the line ministries disaggregate their national ceilings
by province and communicate the fiscal envelope to each province based on the fair
criteria that they develop. Provincial Directorates then formulate their sectoral budgets and
38
submit them to the Provincial Development Committees (PDCs) for extensive
deliberations and decision. Once the proposals are submitted to the related ministries, they
are reviewed, readjusted and finally submitted to the Ministry of Finance. Presently, the
ministries are setting up provincial budgeting units to coordinate the provincial budgetary
process and to develop the provincial development strategies. Capacity building and
extensive training programs are planned for ministerial and provincial staff.
Project Preparation and Appraisal

In order to improve project formulation and quality of projects in key ministries, a
standard template/methodology for investment projects was prepared and introduced for
the first time by the MoF into some of the operating ministries for the 1387 budget. This
process is expected to improve the overall budget formulation, execution, and results on
the ground. The ministries covered for the 1387 budget are Public Works, Transport and
Civil Aviation, Mines, Energy and Water, Telecommunications, MRRD, Agriculture and
Higher Education. More ministries are covered under the 1388 budget.
It is desired that each project to be formulated be based on a feasibility study, priorities of

the ANDS and each ministry’s own strategy. The project document will state the project’s
objectives, scope, location, and indicate the project’s state of readiness for
implementation. Project cost has to be based on engineering design, quantity estimate, and
provide for the related consultancies, training, and physical and price contingencies etc.
Project documentation is to outline the financing plan, disbursement schedule,
procurement and implementation plans. The project has to be based on engineering
viability and financial/economic justification. The project’s possible risks and ways of
mitigating them have to be stated, and, finally, its sustainability has also to be factored in.
Efforts in the formulation of sound projects will be continued over the medium term and
more operating ministries will be brought within the purview of the methodology as
incorporated in the template introduced for project formulation.
Gender Budgeting
The Government, in line with the Constitution, ANDS and NAPWA, is firmly committed
to equitable distribution of the benefits of national development among men and women.
In order to ensure that the national budget reflects the needs of all citizens, the MOF, has
embarked on a process to institutionalize gender budgeting throughout the government.
This process includes training programs, workshops, and tools to introduce a gender
perspective when evaluating projects and programs.
Women’s status in Afghanistan remains low but with the regular implementation of
gender sensitive budget measures, the government can make sure that resources go to
ensure women’s health, education and legal status are raised along with men’s, so that
women ultimately are able to better contribute to the development of our nation.
With the establishment of Gender Budgeting Unit in MoF and Gender units in more than
10 ministries and the existence of a National Gender Machinery Secretariat as
coordination body in the MoWA, the government has been putting in place necessary
39
institutional mechanisms. These new mechanisms need more resources and support for
their expansion and capacity development.
Operating Budget Performance

Public expenditures have been increasing sharply in the last few years. Between 1385 and
1387, Government’s
Composition of Operating Expenditure (in Percent)
operating expenditure as 1382 1383 1384 1385 1386 1387
a share of GDP has Wages and Salaries 66.2 70.8 61.3 61.7 66.4 65.4
jumped from 11.1 to 12 Goods and Services 21.0 15.7 21.0 28.7 25.0 23.8
Transfers and Subsidies 2.9 2.9 4.6 0.9 0.9 4.6
percent while the Pensions 0.8 3.3 4.9 4.7 4.7 4.1
development budget has Capital Expenditure 9.1 7.4 7.1 2.8 2.8 1.4
been growing Interest 0.0 0.0 1.1 0.2 0.2 0.6
significantly faster than the operating budget. An increase of 50 percent was observed in
the operating budget expenditures between 1384 and 1386. The operating budget remains
Tashkeel based. About two thirds of the operating budget goes to wages and salaries while
the remaining one third is divided between goods and services, interest payments and
subsidies and transfers. In fact the distribution has deteriorated in the past two years.
Almost 65 percent of the operating budget goes to salaries and wages in 1387 compared to
62 percent in 1385. This is mainly due to the increase in salaries of ANA, ANP and other
agencies. This trend is of serious concern because low spending on goods and services can
adversely affect service delivery. The share of operating expenditures financed by
domestic revenues improved from 38 percent in 1381 to about 66.5 percent 1386 with the
remaining 33.5 percent being financed by donors. The Government of Afghanistan initial
aims to fully finance the operating budget using its own revenues by 1393 is at stake.
Looking at the aggregate, the operating budget has been increasing for the last couple of
years primarily due to an increase in the number of additional teachers, acceleration in the
size of the Afghan National Army (ANA) and Afghan National Police (ANP). The actual
executed operating budget increased from Afs 15.7 billion in 1381 to Afs 42.9 billion in
1385 and Afs 50.58.7 billion in 1386 whilst Afs 42 billion (64% of the total operating
budget for the entire year) was in 1387 until the Mid Year Review. It is expected that over
Afs 70 billion will be executed until the end of 1387. When we look at expenditure
allocations among ministries, it shows that more than 50 percent of the operating budget is
spent in three ministries because of its large and growing Tashkeel.
Development Budget Performance

Core development expenditures have
Developmet budget execution
been growing much faster compared to (percent)
the operating expenditures. This reflects
1387 50
the development needs especially in core
1386 55
sectors such as infrastructure,
1385 54
agriculture, rural development, and
1384 44
education consistent with the growing 1383 31
economy and need for improving
0 20 40 60
physical and human capital. The overall
Actual/ projected
execution has increased steadily: for
example, from about Afs 22.4 billion in
1384 to Afs 48.17 billion in 1386. The execution is expected to improve to about a billion
dollars in 1387. The core development expenditures for infrastructure, natural resources,
40
agriculture and rural development account for more than 70 percent of the total core
development budget.
In percentage terms the execution rate for the development budget increased to 55 percent
in 1386, resulting from a pro-active role taken by the Budget Department of the Ministry
of Finance during the fiscal year. Execution rates were about 44 percent in 1384 and 31
percent in 1383. The execution rate is expected to reach, although highly unlikely, only 50
percent in 1387 mainly due to the huge development budget in 1387 and some personnel
changes in key ministries. Despite the improvement over the years, the budget execution
rates are low in most ministries. A significant number of ministries have less than 30-40
percent execution rates, which shows low capacity and the need for further capacity
building and improvement both in budget preparation and execution processes. It should
be also noted that the difference between allotments and actual expenditures is mainly due
to low capacity among some contractors in the private sector.
There are several reasons for

these low execution rates.
Lack of prioritization,
excessive fragmentation of
projects, and inclusion of
unprepared and partially-
financed projects in the
budget are some common
reasons. Problems also exist
at the execution stage
including long procurement
procedures and low
implementation and
monitoring capacity in most
ministries. Other factors include the lack of predictability of external donors’
disbursements and the security problems in some parts of the country. Another key factor
that has been identified for effective execution of the Budget is core capacity of line
ministries, particularly in the areas of financial management and procurement.
The Government has also taken a number of measures to address the above-mentioned
problems through both the budget formulation and budget execution processes. These
measures include the introduction of a nine month budget timetable; the early issuance of
a budget circular; the active support to line ministries during budget formulation including
a liaison mechanism through the Budget Department’s focal points for all line ministries;
closer involvement of donors in the budget process; and introduction of the new
mechanism. The Ministry of Finance reforms also includes the establishment of a
Procurement Policy Unit to establish policy guidelines; provide support to line ministries;
closely monitor budget execution and impediments; and take follow up actions to improve
budget performance and execution regarding procurement.
To increase policy coherence and closer alignment with the ANDS and other priorities, the
Government’s policy is to encourage donors to channel more funding through the STA as
it has many merits. Donors signed the Paris Declaration in 2005 which included a
commitment to channel funds through the accounts of recipient countries. The Afghan
Government has committed to improve fiduciary arrangements, accountability and
performance to display to donors that such a move is a good investment.

SECTORAL ANALYSIS
Security Sector
Security and stability in all parts
of the country are essential for
economic growth and poverty.
Afghanistan still faces a number
of serious challenges and
government is fully committed
to give the highest priority to
this sector. A multi-sector donor
support scheme has been
established under which
individual donors are allocated
responsibility for overseeing
support for each of the key
elements of the reform,
including: disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration of ex-combatants; military
reform; police reform; judicial reform; and counter narcotics. The ANP has been receiving
extensive training and equipment from the international community. Most of the recurrent
budget for the police and army is financed by the operating budget. All other security
related (donor funded programs/projects) expenditures are executed by donors through the
external budget. However, being an important and still the security sector remains
unreported.
ANDS Sector Benchmarks

all regions of Afghanistan, including by strengthening Afghan capabilities. By end 1389
(March-2011) a fully constituted, professional, functional and ethnically balanced Afghan
National Police and Afghan Border Police with a combined force of up to 82,000 will be
able to effectively meet the security needs of the country and will be increasingly fiscally
sustainable.

The establishment of sound economic management systems is vital for the provision of high
quality basic services to Afghan Citizens, and creating an enabling environment for private
sector growth. Economic growth and poverty reduction can only be achieved if there is
sustained growth of the private sector based on productive investment. The private sector can
play critical role in creating employment opportunities and generate the resources required by
the government to achieve the vision outlined in the ANDS.
Government’s goal is to improve the management and accountability of public expenditures so
as to increase the effective utilization of resources through the budget as the tool of
government policy. Government will also aim to create the conditions in which a dynamic and
competitive private sector can flourish, contributing to economic growth, employment creation
and poverty reduction.
All legislation, regulations and procedures related to investment will be simplified and
harmonized by end-1385 (20 March 2007). All legislation, regulations and procedures related
to investment will be implemented by end-1386 (20 March 2008). New business organization
laws will be tabled in the National Assembly by end-1385 (20 March 2007). The government
strategy for divestment of state-owned enterprises will be implemented by end-1388 (20

Municipalities
Municipalities according to the Constitution are entities to administer city affairs and are with
elected mayors and councils. They are by and large self-sustaining entities with specific
service delivery tasks (e.g. water, sewage, garbage collection and recreation) which must be
financed by local charges and fees. Based on staffing levels approved by the Tashkeel Office,
the Ministry of Interior, and IDLG, municipalities are distinctively different entities in terms
of fiscal transfers and prepare their own budgets, which are approved by the MoF.
The number of municipalities is currently recorded at 159, with provincial municipalities in
each of the provincial capitals. Of these, 95 are rural municipalities. According to the available
recorded data from 1384 to 1387, there were 85 municipalities active in 1384 and this number
significantly increased in 1385. There were 122 active municipalities in 1386 in the country.
This increase also resulted in a significant increment in revenue. At the same time, a number
of municipalities through the country remained unreported due to ill mail and electronic

communication systems and lack of capacity, and due to security reasons. However, shortfalls
in revenue are due to cutting off property tax from municipalities’ revenue, removal of tax on
crops; Wheat, Flour and also Oil had a big impact on short fall in revenue.
Following table 1 indicates the baseline number for existing municipalities recorded in 1384,
and establishment of further provincial and rural municipalities during 1385 – 1387. The
number of unreported municipalities during 1385 – 1387 is shown in the table 1.

Similarly budget and revenue figures during the same period (Table 2Table 3) show significant
increase in last three years. The highest figure of revenue collected is USD110 million in 1386.
However, there is a dramatic decline in 1387 to USD55 million. This was mainly due to the unreported
number of municipalities. During 1387, revenues are expected to go up by about 10 percent over 1386.

Gender Budgeting in Afghanistan
Gender budgeting has gained prominence in recent years ensuring the integration of a gender
perspective in budgetary policies and programs. The main aim of gender budget is seeking to
mainstream gender analysis of issues within government policies; promote greater
accountability for the commitment of governments to gender equality and influence budgets
and policies. Hence, the Afghanistan Compact also highlighted the gender targets clearly and
has two basic principles;
• To build up capacities of men and women alike,

• To recognize in all policies and programs that men and women have equal rights and
responsibilities.
Align with these principles, ANDS consider gender as a cross cutting issue and has few
benchmarks for achieving the gender related goals of the country. Some of the benchmarks are
as follows;
• Net primary enrolment for girls will be at least 60% for boys 75%
• 150,000 men and women will be trained in marketable skills
• Basic Package of Health services will cover at least 90% of the population.
• The number of chronically poor female-headed households will be reduced by 20%
and their employment rates will be increased by 20%
For achieving above mentioned goals and benchmarks the Ministry of Finance, in line with the
constitution and other policies of the government, is firmly committed to equitable distribution
of the benefits of national development among men and women. In order to improve the
capacity to ensure that the national budget reflects the needs of all citizens, MoF has embarked
on a process to institutionalize gender budgeting within ministries.
MoF as lead ministry has leaded the mentoring and coaching including small trainings
regarding mainstreaming gender budgeting concepts to inter-ministerial groups (MoWA,
MoC, MoLSA, MMD, MRRD), the formation of a gender budgeting working group, and
introduction of tools to introduce a gender perspective when evaluating projects and programs.
As result of these efforts, training materials on gender budgeting is available in local
languages. The concept and vision of gender budgeting has become familiar to ministries. The
gender budget vision focuses that the budget process will be on a just and fair basis and will
make sure that resources are equally distributed to all citizens – male and female – equally. In
the long term it will ensure that poverty has been reduced in Afghanistan and all people live in
peace in a just society.
The gtz funded -gender mainstreaming project with establishment of a Gender Budgeting
Units in several ministries is looking forward to the commitment and participation of all other
ministries in designing and evaluating policies, programs and budgets. Eventually this will
make sure that resources go to ensure women’s health, education and legal status are raised
along with men’s, so that they ultimately are able to better contribute to the development of
the country.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES PLAN
Details of the State’s Investment Strategy
It is the policy of the Ministry of Finance that excess funds not deemed to be needed
immediately to support budget expenditures shall be invested to earn additional funds for the
government. Current investment of State funds is done by Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB) and
amounts earned are kept by it to compensate DAB for bank services used by the government.
It is anticipated in coming years that the earned money will be paid to the government and
DAB will be compensated for the banking services provided based on market rates.
The primary goal of the investment of State funds is to maximize investment earnings for the
government while undertaking a prudent degree of investment risk. Authority for the
investment of government funds under the direction of the Minister of Finance is derived from
the Article 15 of the Public Finance and Expenditure Management Law.
The Ministry will take into account the following principles when selecting acceptable
investments for its excess funds:
Safety of the principal of the investment

Length of the investment
Liquidity of the investment
Diversification
Minimization of foreign exchange risk
The amount of funds to be invested from time-to-time shall be determined by the Treasury
Department of the Ministry of Finance using input from various departments/units within the
Ministry such as Budget, Cash Management, Debt and Asset Management.
The goal of the Ministry of Finance in this strategy is to work closely with Da Afghanistan
Bank (DAB) to take advantage of any economies of scale in the investing process that DAB
may be currently utilizing in their own investment process. All investments should be made on
market terms

ANNEX 1
PROGRAM BUDGETING
Introduction
Traditionally in Afghanistan, the budget has been prepared on the basis of allocating resources
to particular economic categories (i.e. allocating resources to budgetary units based on how
much is required for wages, goods and services or capital). Little if any information has been
available on what will be produced, which services delivered or what results will be achieved for
those resources, particularly for recurrent (operating) expenditure.
With the development and adoption of the Afghanistan National Development Strategy
(ANDS), Ministry Strategies and Sector Strategies, the Government of Afghanistan now
requires a more standard and more transparent mechanism to operationalize and subsequently
measure their progress towards the achievement of these priorities and policies. Program
Budgeting is one such mechanism.
Principles Driving the Program Budget

Program Budgeting is a modern approach to classify government expenditures. A program is a
group of activities that have the same policy objectives. A program therefore brings together all
expenditure (both operating and development) aimed at achieving that policy objective
regardless of funding source. There are several important advantages and/or benefits that
program budget bring to the Government ability to effectively and efficiently manage the
resources available.
The key objectives of Program Budgeting are to:
1. Enable implementation of ANDS by creating strong link between ministry’s objectives

and priorities (as stated in the ANDS) and its budget - provides opportunity for the ministries
to design new and redesign current services that will directly contribute to the achievement of
the expected results from national (ministry’s) strategies and priorities.
2. Integrate the ordinary and development budgets - take into account future running and
maintenance cost of the existing investments/development projects; provide a comprehensive
picture of all costs associated with a particular priority or service delivered by the ministry,
regardless whether they are being financed from operating or core development funds.
3. Help ministries better justify their budgets – explain to the Cabinet and Parliament how
does their budget proposal relate to ANDS priorities and objectives, and what are the results
going to be produced and benefits achieved with the money spent.
4. Enables effective prioritization/budget allocation decision making process - assists the
Government to more effectively allocate its resources to its most important and highest priority
strategic objectives (budget planning), by providing more information on the benefits of the
programs as well as the cost of achieving those benefits.
65
Program Budget Pilot Ministries
In order to: (i) better link its strategic objectives and policy priorities with the annual budget and
prioritize the available funds where they are the most needed, and (ii) to make line ministries
accountable for their performance against the received budget, in 1385 the Ministry of Finance
has decided to introduce program budget in Afghanistan. Program budget in Afghanistan is
being introduced on a gradual basis – to a limited number of ministries each year. Plan is to have
all budgetary units in the GoA introduced program budget in the next several years.
In developing the 1386 budget, the Ministry of Finance selected three ministries (Ministry of
Education, Ministry of Public Health, and Ministry of Rehabilitation and Rural Development) to
pilot the integration of the operating and development budget through the introduction of
program budgeting. These ministries were required to present their budget information in a basic
program format, linking their budgets with ANDS priorities and objectives.
For 1387 program budget preparation has been extended to additional four line ministries:
Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Water and Energy, Ministry of Public Works and Ministry
of Finance.
For the preparation of the 1388 budget, the program budgeting has been rolled out to nine
additional line ministries, including: Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of
Communications, Ministry of Commerce and Industries, Ministry of Labour & Social Affairs,

Program Budget Pilot Ministries submission for 1388

Budget Department, Budget Integration Reform Unit (BIRU) has been working closely over the
last period with seven pilot ministries on developing their 1388 program budgets. Ministry of
Finance has issued Program Budget Manual and prepared draft Action plan for pilot
ministries, defining detailed steps ministries need to undertake in order to prepare their 1387
budget in the programmatic form, including:
1.Finalization of their ministry strategy,
2.Definition of the program structure,
3.Identification of performance indicators and
4.Costing of the activities, as well as
5.The preparation of the full 1388 program budget submission.
Budget Department has also prepared Program Budget Circular No 1 and Program Budget
Circular No containing instructions and guidelines for the preparation of the 1388 program
budget submission, as well as detailed Excel spreadsheets for the program budget submission.
These Circulars were issued along with the Regular Budget Circulars in July and November,
respectively.
The pilot ministries for the preparation of 1388 budget have successfully translated their
strategic objective annunciated in the ANDS and in the ministry strategies into a number of
programs and sub-program in order to establish a strong link between strategic objectives and
the annual budget. In addition, the ministries were able to redesign current services and develop
66
new services that will contribute to the achievement of the national government’s strategies and
priorities. The pilot ministries have successfully integrated their operating and development
budgets at the program and sub-program level, taking into account future recurrent cost of the
capital investment projects and providing a comprehensive picture of all costs associated with a
particular service of the ministry, regardless whether they are being financed from operating or
development budget, thus preventing possibility of gaps or duplications.
However, it is important to stress that the pilot ministry program budgets are indicative, and
presented in the budget for informational purposes only and to provide a supplement to the
traditional budget format. These pilot program budgets are not intended to be used as a basis for
appropriation.
1388 Program Budget Implementation

Quarterly performance reporting circular have been developed and will be issued by the
Ministry of Finance (Budget Department) to the pilot ministries. Through these reports, the line
ministries will be required to provide their quarterly budget execution report on a program basis,
as well their performance results for each quarter. Based on the information provided, Ministry
of Finance will be able to assess the level of budget implementation for each of the ministries’
programs, as well as whether the ministries are achieving the planed results and objectives of
these programs.
Expenditure Tracking
In order to accommodate need of the MoF and program budget pilot line ministries to track
expenditures by programs, sub-program and activities in the AFMIS, Treasury and Budget
Departments introduced changes in the CoA, as well as new authorization (allotment control)
levels in the system.
All program budget pilot ministries will be required to prepare their 1388 quarterly allotments
by programs, sub-programs and activities, and across all provinces where these activities are
being implemented, and track their expenditures during 1388 accordingly.
Since AFMIS has not been rolled out to most ministries yet, budget formulation, execution and
accounting processes at the line ministry level are done manually. To provide an immediate
solution and enable line ministries to formulate their and track it more structured manner, budget
department has been supporting the roll out “Budget Preparation and Expenditure Tracking
Database” (BPET-DB).
Performance Reporting
A quarterly performance report for each quarter has to be submitted by all pilot ministries,
providing progress on the achievements in the quarter. Although in the first quarter of 1387 the
pilot ministries provided fairly adequate information on the measurement of progress against the
targets depicted through a number of outcome and output performance indicators, for a number
of ministries this task proved to be extremely difficult to implement, since a number of 1387
indicators were deemed inappropriate and difficult to report against, due to: i) lack of a baseline;
67
ii) no tracking/monitoring system and iii) weak link between the outputs achieved through
implementation of development projects and the performance indicators.
Hence, for the preparation of the 1388 program budget Ministry of Finance has undertaken
proactive quality control measures to ensure the quality performance indicators. For the sixteen
ministries that implemented program budget for 1388 budget year, focus during the 1388 should
be implementation of the Monitoring and Evaluation system within the ministry, including: (i)
data collection mechanism, (i) setting baseline, (iii) data storage and (iv) forming dedicated
M&E Unit responsible for data management.
Way Forward
The pilots will be reviewed by May 2009. The review will evaluate progress to date and on the
basis of the findings in the evaluation a medium-term implementation plan will be developed for
the full introduction of program budgeting across all budgetary units of the Government.

ANNEX 2
PROVINCIAL BUDGETING
Provincial budgeting approach refers to the resource allocation process by provinces based on
Interim Afghanistan Development Strategy (I-ANDS) reflected in the ministries’
organizational/ sector strategies. It is an important instrument to address economic, social,
political and geographic concerns and priorities of the provinces. It helps to allocate resources
to the programs on the basis of local people’s needs and governmental priorities; operate and
deliver public services more efficiently; ensure that the budget reflects citizens’ preferences;
and make the spending units empowered and accountable for their actions. Since August 1385,
the Ministry of Finance initiated piloting of provincial budgeting during the preparation of the
1386 budget in order to improve the budget formulation, execution, and reporting of the
service delivery arms (the provinces) of the central government.
Objectives
The major objectives of introducing provincial budgeting are to:
1. Ensure a criteria based, equitable and transparent resource allocation across the
provinces in order to reduce inter-provincial development disparities and facilitate
effective public service delivery;
2. Ensure that the provincial authorities and stakeholders become active partners in the
budgetary processes (formulation, execution, monitoring, and reporting) and to better
address their development concerns, needs and priorities;
3. Ensure that the local development issues are well addressed and linked to the Interim
Afghanistan National Development Strategy (I-ANDS);
4. Inform the Provincial Units on the budgetary processes and promote its use as a tool to
address the concerns, needs and priorities of the local community;
5. Measure the level and quality of government services by provinces and assert
governmental presence in the provinces leading to improved security;
6. Increase predictability of the budget execution rate in the provinces;
7. Let the provincial officials from the beginning of the year what they have to spend
during the year rather what they will receive periodically by their ministries.
Piloting of Provincial Budgeting

Provincial budgeting is a part of the budget integration and reform initiatives undertaken by
the Ministry of Finance. It has been implemented in a phase-wise manner with a view to
enable the provincial authorities to formulate, execute, monitor and improve the budget in
their area of jurisdiction. The piloting started in 1385 with three ministries (Ministry of
Education, Ministry of Agriculture, and Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development)
and three provinces (Balkh, Panjshir, and Kandahar).
These ministries were selected for their contribution made to the socio-economic development
process of the country. For the selection of the provinces, Balkh is an example of province
with better capacity and a good level of socio-economic development; Panjshir is a newly
established province with serious socio-economic development problems; and Kandahar is a
70
province with security problems. From 1386 seven more provinces (Logar, Nangrahar,
Ghazni, Bamyan, Faryab, Hirat and Badakhsan) have been added. Four more ministries
(Finance, Water and Energy, Public Health, and Public works) and ten more provinces would
be undertaken in 1387 so as to cover all the ministries and provinces within next two-three
years.
Implementation procedures
Ceilings are identified for line ministries and line ministries are asked to Prioritize and
disaggregate their national ceiling by province. Ministries will consult the disaggregated
ceiling with their line departments to ensure that the provincial development plans, prioritized
projects are incorporated in the budget and provincial budget reflects priorities and are based
on the ministerial strategy, Afghanistan development strategy and provincial strategy. The
provincial directorates of the pilot ministries prepare their sectoral budget proposals based on
the Provincial Development Plans (PDPs). Provincial Development Committees (PDCs) after
essential deliberations on these sectoral budget proposals forward to the concerned line
ministries for review, if any. If the provincial submissions need revisions or modifications the
budget proposals are sent back to the PDCs for approval. Having received the final
submissions from the PDCs the line ministries aggregate and submit them to the Ministry of
Finance for final approval. In the process, the Ministry of Finance has been extending
technical support to the piloted line ministries as well as the piloted provinces through its
Budget Integration and Reform Unit (BIRU) established in the Budget Department.
Achievements
In spite of different difficulties in various stages of project implementation, the results of the
pilot project seem encouraging. Especially after the introduction of provincial budgeting
system, the central level authorities have started to formulate the budget ‘with’ the provinces
not merely ‘for’ the provinces. Other achievements were as under:
• The line Ministries were able to disaggregate their national budgetary allocation by
province with programs holding direct consultation with their provincial directorates
prior to preparing the provincial allocations;
• Showing great interest on provincial budgeting process, the PDCs held extensive
deliberations at the provincial level. They have already started to formulate and
prioritize their programs identifying local concerns, needs and priorities;
• Further need of introducing procedural and system changes to improve quality and
completeness of the provincial expenditure data and their reporting system have been
noticed;
• The provincial budgeting has empowered the provincial authorities to analyze,
scrutinize and prioritize their provincial budget allocations.
Challenges and Issues

Despite the crucial achievements made in this direction, vital challenges have also been noted
during its implementation as under:
71
• The provincial budget submissions lacked strategic vision and were not in conformity
with the I-ANDS;
• Provincial Development Plans have not yet been referred as carte du jour, for
provincial budgeting;
• Ministries have not yet come up with their provincial development strategies based on
their ministerial/ sectoral strategies;
• Ministries lack viable coordination mechanism at the central level to coordinate and
respond to the provincial budgetary processes;
• Provincial officials lack adequate knowledge on the overall budgetary framework,
concepts and its processes.
• Provincial budget performance report both fiscal and physical has been very difficult to
obtain from the Ministries and the provincial directorates.
The way forward

Presently, the line ministries are in the process of setting up a provincial budgeting unit in
order to facilitate and coordinate the provincial budgetary process. They are also developing
their provincial development strategies. As significant capacity gap has been noticed at
different level, capacity building programs to different officials will be launched right from the
beginning of fiscal year 1387. Training need identification and curricula development is in
progress for imparting training to the trainers, finance officers, provincial directors and the
Mustofies. Training to these provincial officials would be massively imparted in next fiscal
year so as to enable them to formulate, execute, monitor the provincial budget and make
appropriate/timely reports. Besides, A Handbook on the Provincial Budgeting in Afghanistan
is about to be published in local languages beside its English version. The Ministry of Finance
will finalize a review of the pilot project and prepare a strategy to move forward. The results
of the review will be presented to the stakeholders in May 2008.
