The Afghanistan-Australia Aid Program Strategy 2013-2014 outlines the priorities of Australia's whole of government Official Development Assistance Program to Afghanistan.
The strategy covers a two year period – 2013 and 2014 – in recognition of the substantial changes that will take place during the transition period. The objective of Australian assistance is to build the capacity of the Afghan Government to deliver basic services and provide livelihood opportunities to its people. Australian aid will focus on three areas: governance, rural and agriculture development, and education. This aligns with the Australian Government's aid policy goals of promoting opportunities for all, building sustainable economic development and promoting effective governance. It also reflects Australia's areas of expertise and our capacity to make the most difference.
