The paper cover two broad themes in the
recent reform of fiscal and economic management in
Afghanistan. The first part, The Journey So Far, sets out
the impressive policy and institutional reforms that the
Interim and Transitional Administrations have made since the
Bonn conference in November 2001. It provides some details
of the challenges faced by the Ministry of Finance, and very
particularly the complexities of managing intensive donor
interest and significant volumes of development assistance,
while balancing the need for responsiveness to donor
priorities with a concern to build institutional strengths
of the public sector. The section notes the complexity of
the vested interests that had built up within the
administration during the Soviet and Taliban periods, and
the need to revive, while simultaneously reforming, the
fiscal management processes. The second part, Current
Priorities, explores the fiscal and economic management
tasks that the Ministry of Finance is now confronted with.
The section opens with a review of the strategic options for
structuring the Ministry of Finance, and the additional
challenges and opportunities presented by the new
constitution. The revised budget law is perhaps the most
significant and far-reaching of the institutional reforms
planned. The significance of the municipalities as a
potential platform for enhanced service delivery to an
increasingly urbanized population is also noted. |
