SECTION 3 – TRANSITION 3.1: THE SECURITY TRANSITION PROCESS The security Transition process was jointly conceived and developed by the Afghan Government, the United States, the NATO, and ISAF nations at a variety of international fora, beginning with the 2010 London Conference and culminating in the NATO Summit in Lisbon in November 2010. Transition to Afghan security lead began in July 2011 and transition to full Afghan security responsibility will be complete country-wide by the end of 2014. According to the 2010 Inteqal 21 Framework, which governs the Afghan-led process, the Joint Afghan-NATO Inteqal Board (JANIB) is responsible for approving Transition implementation plans and recommending areas to enter and exit the Transition process. The JANIB is chaired by Transition Coordination Committee chairman Dr. Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai and co-chaired by COMISAF and the NATO Senior Civilian Representative (SCR). It also includes the United Nations Special Representative for Afghanistan. Careful evaluation of an area’s security, governance, and development environment is conducted when considering eligibility for transition. After an area has been selected, the Afghan Government, NATO, and ISAF develop Transition implementation plans to be approved by the JANIB. Upon entry of an area into the Transition implementation process, NATO and ISAF support continues through four broad stages, progressing from local support to strategic support. The security of the Afghan people and the stability of the government are used to judge provincial readiness to move to each successive stage of transition implementation. A critical component of the transition process is the gradual evolution of Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs). In recognition of Afghan concerns regarding parallel structures, and as part of the effort to promote Afghan capacity, PRTs are transitioning from service delivery to capacity building, and will either be disbanded or form part of individual countries ongoing commitments to Afghanistan. To minimize risk in later tranches, ISAF and the Afghan Government have begun the transition process in some of the more difficult areas, including the South and East, to take advantage of the robust coalition presence. This plan assumes greater risk earlier in the process, but better ensures that the transition can be completed by the end of 2014 when the ANSF will have full responsibility for security. 21 “Transition” 50
