NATIONAL INDICATIVE PROGRAMME OF EUROPEAN COMMUNITY SUPPORT 2005-2006: AFGHANISTAN

INTRODUCTION.

The 2003-2006 Country Strategy Paper for Afghanistan was formally adopted by the Commission in February 2003, and remains a comprehensive statement of the Commission’s strategy for Afghanistan. The key priorities remain unchanged, and the major risks to success - poor security, burgeoning opium poppy cultivation and the risk of political fragmentation - are as relevant as ever. In keeping with the March 2003 GAERC conclusions, this paper briefly summarises the priorities set out in the Country Strategy Paper (CSP), and then runs through developments over the last twelve months in four areas:

• Key political and economic developments;

• New EC/EU policy objectives and commitments;

• Results and lessons learnt in 2003;

• Building on the lessons learnt: how the programme is being improved.
