** Afghanistan: Praiseworthy Economic Reforms, But Path to Peace Offers the Big Dividend

The CSIS Project on Prosperity and Development (PPD) would like to share a new commentary, Afghanistan: Praiseworthy Economic Reforms, But Path to Peace Offers the Big Dividend (https://www.csis.org/analysis/afghanistan-praiseworthy-economic-reforms-path-peace-offers-big-dividend?utm_source=CSIS+All&utm_campaign=a41e3ace87-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_11_26_05_30&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f326fc46b6-a41e3ace87-145367789) .

International donors will convene in Geneva this week to discuss social and economic progress made in Afghanistan since the Brussels Donor Conference in 2016. The economic advances made by the Afghan government give donors reasons to be pleased about the results from their pledge to provide $15 billion in assistance through 2020, conditional on the government making progress on the reform program agreed upon in Brussels.

In Geneva, donors should praise the reforms made, while making clear that Afghanistan must continue and deepen reforms if donors are to continue providing support over the next two years. Simultaneously, donors must emphasize the importance of improving the security situation and that a sustainable path to peace is likely the best way to achieve sustainable economic growth.

We welcome any feedback you may have. Please feel free to reach out to Jena Santoro ([email-masked]) with any questions or comments. Thank you.
