This report proposes a two-pronged
strategy of government action for securing progress in
sub-national administration, using the structures, and
discipline that form the distinctive heritage of the Afghan
state. One strand calls for the center to commit itself to
delivering some basic support for provinces, districts, and
provincial municipalities, in their functional role as
service provider or commissioner, and in their political
role as local representative of the unitary state. The
second strand of the strategy is comprised of tailored
incentives for sub-national administrations, that reflect
their institutional and historical roots. The task is to
make this de-concentrated system work, through effective
incentives at the sub-national level that will entail the
provision of valued resources that are triggered by simple
measures of administrative effort, not performance, and
tailoring the incentives to suit the specific situation of
the administration, with distinct differences between the
incentives provided to provinces, districts, and provincial
municipalities. To this end, the report proposes
unconditional commitments from the Government in Kabul to:
complete the pension reform, i.e., build, and strengthen
capacity within the central administration entities,
increasing Treasury authority, and establishing procedures
to strengthen the budgetary process. Likewise, it proposes
to restore provincial infrastructure, and priority support
for provincial health and education departments. By
designing specific project support, it is intended to help
shift the focus towards pro-province and pro-service
delivery objectives. |
