| description |
This guide has three objectives: First
and foremost, it seeks to provide newcomers to the
Administrative and political scene in Afghanistan with a
basic guide to the structures and processes of government.
Second and related, it intends to provide reformers with
some understanding of how to work "with the grain"
of the existing institutional arrangements. Third, this
report seeks to pay tribute to the remarkable people who
have kept the system running and who are now reforming it.
In pursuing these objectives, this guide attempts to set out
these underlying strengths of the public sector, describing
the evolution of the Afghan state, the current political
context, and the administrative and organizational
components of the government. It sets out the legal basis
and organizational responsibilities for key fiscal tasks
including revenue collection, budget preparation and
execution, and accounting and audit. It also describes the
organizational structures in the provinces, the way in which
the staffing establishment is determined, and the structure
of pay and grading. In particular, it looks at the
arrangements for service delivery in the education and
health sectors. A companion paper, "Subnational
Administration in Afghanistan : Assessment and
Recommendations for Action," (report no. 29415)
outlines some specific recommendations resulting from these studies. |
