CONCLUSION: AFGHAN PRIORITIES FOR THE AFGHAN PEOPLE
The Kabul International Conference on
Afghanistan represents a turning point in
Afghanistan’s journey from conflict and aid
dependence to peace, justice, and equitable
development led by Afghan citizens. The
Government and the People of Afghanistan
understand the urgency and enormity of the tasks
that lie ahead to bring security and stability
through capable and accountable security forces; to
create the conditions for peace, reconciliation, and
justice for all; to build relations with their
neighbors; to extract the country’s natural
resources in an ecologically-sensitive manner for
the benefit of all citizens; to improve public sector
capacity to deliver services to Afghans; and to
manage public finances responsibly and
effectively. We recognize that peace and security
are not possible without progress in justice,
governance, and development across the entire
country.
The Afghanistan National Development Strategy
Prioritization and Implementation Plan offers an
ambitious yet pragmatic approach to tackle the
country’s seemingly intractable issues. It places
people at the center of Government policies and
programs. Its preparation brought together the
Government, civil society, and their international
partners in a collaborative way to forge a united
response to Afghan challenges. With the
introduction of the National Priority Programs
presented in this action plan, the Government
renews its commitment to the People of
Afghanistan in their quest to achieve a prosperous
future. With deep appreciation for the enormous
sacrifices made to support their country's difficult
transition to stability and inclusive governance, all
Afghans embrace a common destiny with those
who have shared the burden of helping
Afghanistan return to its position in the community
of nations.
