 Provincial context
• Poppy producing and narco-trafficking region

• External and internal Taliban, drugs criminality and tribal conflicts

intermingled

• Mostly agrarian society with urgent need for power & irrigation systems to
support development

• Nascent transportation infrastructure with need for primary & secondary

roads to promote security and development

• Unstable/weak/corrupt governance with new Governor & fragile provincial &

district government structures

• Absence of IOs, NGOs, and civil society organizations

 PRIORITIES
Governance, Security and Socio-
Economic Development
 Uruzgan is not
Governance and Security Priorities ready for Western
model democracy

• Governmental grip
– Ministerial / Directors meeting: improving; more ownership
– Developing role for Provincial Council: infant stage; necessity?

• Governmental Command and Control

– Developing chain of command with districts: fractional; no FOM
– Provincial Security Committee (PSC): regular and starting joint
planning
– Provincial Development Council (PDC): first beginnings;
secretariat and 4 sub groups
• Security
– Police registering, training and certification: ANAP = promising!
Joint operation: PRT – Dyn corps
– Provincial Coordination Centre (PCC): developing; quality issues
– Starting joint operations; ‘ANSF as colleagues’
 Socio-economic Priorities
• Irrigation: increasing amount of arable land to generate more income – first
projects identified

• Agriculture: improvement of crops – fertilisation and improved seeds

counter narcotics: (1) five year plan, (2) GOA officials first, (3) dealers / market
next

• Infrastructure
• Dept. of Rehabilitation and Rural Development
• USAID Current: road to Deh Rawod and Oshay
• CERP Next: road to Chora and to Khaz Uruzgan
• USACE (AED)

• Health: coaching local med personnel to increase Afghan capacity in

conjunction with AHDS; also ANA medics

• Education: starting school project in Chora and supporting in TK / DR; bigger

plans soon – Afghan funding available
