Aid Coordination and Delivery in Afghanistan: Assessing Past and Current Architecture

Author: Naheed Sarabi

This paper examines aid provision in Afghanistan, both from a practitioner’s perspective on Afghanistan’s aid coordination history (including its structures, strengths, and challenges), and with a focus on current aid coordination gaps and opportunities for contributions by the international community to tackling current challenges.

This publication is part of a series highlighting the work and analysis of the Afghanistan Research Network (ARN), a project convened by LSE / PeaceRep, and the Civic Engagement Project (CEP). The network brings together over 20 Afghan researchers (and several non-Afghans) with diverse expertise and backgrounds investigating a range of issues. This project aims to support Afghan researchers who were recently forced to leave Afghanistan; to ensure expert and analytical provision; inform contextually-appropriate international policies and practices on Afghanistan; and to deepen understanding of evolving political, security, and economic dynamics.
