The Government of Afghanistan has worked closely with the international community to lead in progress achieved in a number of key social and economic indicators since 2002. Article 54 of the Afghanistan Constitution (2004) stipulates that the family is the fundamental pillar of society, and that the Government shall adopt all necessary measures to attain the physical and spiritual health of the family, especially that of children and mothers. Article 22 declares non- discrimination and equality in rights and duties between men and women, while Article 49 prohibits the forced labour of children. Several government ministries such as the Ministry of Women s Affairs (MoWA), the Ministry of Education (MoE), the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Martyrs and Disabled (MoLSAMD), and organizations as well as departments within other ministries have been tasked with addressing the needs of children, women, and families. The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) came into being in 2002, and includes a Child s Rights Desk focused on protecting the basic human rights of children. Based on the global commitment to meeting the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs), several national policies and strategies aimed at improving the wellbeing of children and women have been adopted. These include the National Action Plan for the Women of Afghanistan, 2007-2017 (NAPWA), the National Child and Adolescent Health Policy, 2009-2013, the National Strategy for Street Working Children, the National Strategy for the Protection of Children at Risk, the National Education Strategic Plan of Afghanistan (NESP), the National Social Protection policy, among others. Afghanistan is also considering the development of a comprehensive Child Act. The Child Protection Action Plan (CPAN) was adopted in 2003 by MoLSAMD, and has the goal of protecting children against all forms of exploitation, violence and abuse. CPAN promotes and disseminates the principles embodied in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in Afghanistan. However, the 2011 concluding observations of the CRC Committee urged the Government to apply to a much greater extent the provisions of the CRC in our domestic legal framework. As the main poverty reduction strategy policy, the Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS) 2008-2013 was developed to identify national development priorities and to outline a plan of action for achieving Afghanistan s MDGs, through the enhanced delivery of health services, expanded access to education, improved water and sanitation facilities, and the entrenchment of the rule of law. To protect the legal rights of children in conflict, ANDS calls upon the Government to enhance the legal and policy framework related to the juvenile offenders and children in conflict, and also calls for improved access to the formal legal system for women and children. Recognizing the plight of children in Afghanistan, ANDS underlines the commitments made by the Government to focus on supporting the most vulnerable and the poorest of the poor. This includes in particular, children at risk, chronically poor women, and poor and disabled people; and the obligation to develop social protection programmes to meet the needs of these most vulnerable groups. iii Further, the Government and the donor community affirmed their commitment to realizing identified national priorities through the National Priority Programmes (NPP). These commitments were reaffirmed at the Bonn Conference in November 2011 where pledges were made to support Afghanistan beyond 2014. The Afghanistan MICS for 2010-2011 contributes greatly towards our efforts to monitor the progress of the Afghan MDGs for 2020, as well as other national priorities defined in the ANDS and NPPs. The present report highlights the status of children and women in Afghanistan, and will prove to be of great value to planners, administrators, policy makers, researchers, and to all of our development partners. The data here will serve to develop and prescribe appropriate programmes and to develop responsive policies for the development and welfare of children and women in Afghanistan, which is ultimately aimed at helping us achieve important national goals. I am grateful to all the team members who provided various forms of technical assistance that allowed for the publication of this report. And last but not least, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to UNICEF for extending their financial and technical support towards the realization of the report.

    Health Policy in Afghanistan: two years of rapid change Areview of the process from 2001 to 2003 Lesley Strong Abdul Wali Egbert Sondorp Health Policy in Afghanistan: two years of rapid change Areview of the process from 2001 to 2003 This study is supported by the European Commission’s Poverty Reduction Effectiveness Program (EC-PREP) About the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine… The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is a renowned research and teaching institute in public health, based in London, UK. Its aim is to contribute to the improve- ment of health worldwide through the pursuit of excellence in research, postgraduate teaching and advanced training in national and international public health and tropical medicine. The Department of Public Health & Policy is one of three Departments within LSHTM. The main thrust of the Department’s work is to link public health, policy and practice through research and analysis. This is undertaken by the largest multidisciplinary group in Europe focused on public health, with epidemiologists, statisticians and mathematicians, economists and policy analysts working together with anthropologists, sociologists, historians, psychologists and geographers. Within this Department sits the Conflict and Health Programme, which conducts a range of re- search and teaching activities related to conflict induced changes to population health and health systems as well as to the reconstruction of the health sector during the post-conflict phase. One of its projects is to look at the roll-out of the Basic Package of Health Services in Afghanistan. More information on other activities can be found on www.lshtm.ac.uk/hpu/conflict.

    Afghanistan: Post-Taliban Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy (name redacted) Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs (name redacted) Analyst in Middle Eastern Affairs November 7, 2017 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL30588 Afghanistan: Post-Taliban Governance, Security, and U.S. Policy Summary The United States, partner countries, and the Afghan government are attempting to reverse recent gains made by the resilient Taliban-led insurgency since the December 2014 transition to a smaller international mission consisting primarily of training and advising the Afghanistan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF). The Afghan government has come under increasing domestic criticism not only for failing to prevent insurgent gains but also for its internal divisions that have spurred the establishment of new political opposition coalitions. In September 2014, the United States brokered a compromise to address a dispute over the 2014 presidential election, but a September 2016 deadline was not met for enacting election reforms and deciding whether to elevate the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) position to a prime ministership. The Afghan government has made some measurable progress in reducing corruption and implementing its budgetary and other commitments. It has adopted measures that would enable it to proceed with new parliamentary elections, but no election date has been set. The number of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, which peaked at about 100,000 in 2011, is about 9,800, of which most are assigned to the 13,000-person NATO-led “Resolute Support Mission” (RSM) that trains, assists, and advises the ANDSF. About 2,000 of the U.S. contingent are involved in combat against Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups, including the Afghanistan branch of the Islamic State organization (ISIL-Khorasan), under “Operation Freedom’s Sentinel” (OFS).
