Abstract

Seven years after the fall of Taliban Afghanistan has little to show in way of development. Afghanistan remains wholly dependent on external assistance; nearly 90% of public spending comes from foreign aid. A new report by Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief (ACBAR) has underlined the failure of development assistance in Afghanistan. The US is Afghanistan’s largest donor. US has distributed only half of its $10.4 billion commitment for 2002-2008 but has spent $127 billion on the war on Afghanistan since 2001.
