The Development Cooperation Report for 2011 focuses on emerging issues related to aid and development, contains quantitative and qualitative analysis of external assistance to Afghanistan. It is a tool to enhance transparency and accountability of external assistance. In addition to presenting an overview of assistance in 2011, the report includes analysis of progress on aid effectiveness, the commitments of the Kabul, Bonn and Tokyo conferences and their implications for transition and transformation. In addition, it introduces some of the initiatives aimed at accelerating the achievement of Afghanistan’s vision to move towards increasing self-reliance by 2025.
