III. Canadian Priorities: Reporting Progress

« Previous | Table of Contents | Next »

 

Canada’s engagement in Afghanistan is defined and guided by six specific, but interrelated, priorities as announced in mid-2008: enable the Afghan National Security Forces in Kandahar to sustain a more secure environment and promote law and order; strengthen Afghan institutional capacity to deliver basic services; provide humanitarian aid to vulnerable people; enhance border security with facilitation of Afghan-Pakistani dialogue; help advance Afghanistan’s democratic governance; and facilitate Afghan-led political reconciliation.

Canada’s priorities were developed in response to the Government of Afghanistan’s stated needs, and are based on Canada’s ability to deliver meaningful results in improving the lives of the Afghan people. In turn, they serve to support and advance Afghan-led governance.
