Key Information

Australia supports Afghanistan’s economic recovery from COVID-19 through activities aligned with the Afghan Government’s strategy for economic self‑reliance. DFAT's small investment in the Institute for State Effectiveness provides the government with expert advice on critical policy reforms, including economic responses to COVID-19. DFAT is also supporting the multi-donor Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund, which reduces the reporting burden on the Afghan Government, and joins our voice with like-minded donors to advocate for gender and disability-inclusive practices.
