The ministries have worked tirelessly for the preparation of this program. Your voice is important and your voice was heard in consultation meetings with ministries, NGOs, and donor communities. Your voice is reflected in this program. The CCAP is being built on your successful community development initiatives undertaken under the NSP in the past 13 years.
It was our privilege to support the NSP and now it is our privilege to support the Citizens’ Charter. We anticipate the CCAP will contribute to poverty reduction in this country by improving the access of citizens to a full package of services through enabling CDCs to identify their needs.
We expect to see CDCs monitor the quality of health clinics and schools through the projects.”.

Addressing these challenges is a priority of the Afghan Government and will be key to improved development and poverty alleviation in the country.To achieve this objective, Australia is providing on-budget funding through the World Bank-administered Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF), through which donors contribute directly to the Afghan Government's National Priority Programs across sectors and supplement the Afghan Government's non-security operational expenditure. Australia also supports reform of public financial management (PFM), by building the capacity of Afghan Government ministries in budget management and execution, financial accountability and service delivery.Security remains critical to Afghanistan's economic and social development.
