Building a New Afghanistan: The Value of Success, the Cost of Failure
2004 March
Center on International Cooperation
Abstract
On March 31, 2004, representatives of national governments and international organizations will meet in Berlin to renew their collective commitment to rebuild Afghanistan and ensure its future stability and development. The government of Afghanistan has thus far met all the deadlines and benchmarks required of it under the Bonn Agreement of December 5, 2001, and Afghanistan’s international partners have made generous and at times risky contributions to that effort, including sacrificing the lives of some of their citizens.
