【 摘 要 】

Afghanistan has come a long way sinceemerging from major conflict in late 2001. Importantpolitical milestones mandated by the Bonn Agreement (twoLoya Jirgas, a new Constitution, recently the Presidentialelection) have been achieved. The economy has recoveredstrongly, growing by nearly 50 percent cumulatively in thelast two years (not including drugs). Some three millioninternally- and externally-displaced Afghans have returnedto their country/home.More than four million children, athird of them girls, are in school, and immunizationcampaigns have achieved considerable success. The Governmenthas supported good economic performance by following prudentmacroeconomic policies; it has begun to build capacity andhas developed the nationally-led budget process and made thebudget into its central instrument of reform; and it hasmade extraordinary efforts to develop key national programs(for example public-works employment programs and communitydevelopment programs) and to revive social services likeeducation and health.
