Afghanistan National Peace and Development Framework (ANPDF) 2017-2021

The Afghanistan National Peace and Development Framework (ANPDF) is a five-year strategic plan for achieving self-reliance. The Framework presents a long-term development  for Afghanistan by providing consistent high-level guidance to government and stakeholders. It articulates immediate and long term development priorities, highlights key reforms and outlines priority investments needed to achieve development goals.

It sets the economic, political and security context to ensure the development of agriculture, extractive industries and trade. 

The Framework establishes measures to mitigate the effects of climate change, notably in the energy sector but also by expanding agroforestry and reforestation to support environmental conservation and income generation for farmers. It also creates strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change across the trans-Himalayan region.
