Recently the United States government allocated $80 million to the Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF) to improve the welfare of the Afghan people through the New Development Partnership. This financial commitment by the US government is in response to important reform milestones the Afghan government has achieved, which includes improved revenue collection, reducing corruption, and reducing poverty - especially among women. As the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan, Michael McKinley, has stated, “Linking U.S. assistance funding to achievable and important development results enables the Afghan government to implement its reform agenda, while increasing Afghan ownership and transitioning to a more Afghan-led-development approach”. The United States Agency for International Development remains committed to work with Afghanistan’s Ministry of Finance and other sectors and will continue documenting its achievements.
