The Ex Post Assessment aims to provide a frank review of progress during the 2006 and 2011 programs, and a forward-looking assessment that takes into account lessons learned. It begins by providing the background and context for the two programs. It then discusses their overall objectives, how the programs were designed to achieve these objectives, and program performance. After outlining the key issues, it concludes with some lessons, including for Afghanistan's future engagement with the IMF. Since late 2001, after NATO forces toppled the Taliban, the country received unprecedented support from the donor community in the context of two IMF-supported programs.

The Transport Sector Master Plan Update is a guide for government and donors in allocating and programming future funds to raise efficiency of Afghanistan’s transport system. It takes stock of achievements of the previous Road Master Plan and important sector developments that have emerged during intervening period. The Master Plan Update will cover roads, railways, civil aviation, urban transport, and trade logistics, and administrative responsibilities concerned with transport infrastructure and operations. It provides a program of prioritized investments, and recommends urgent capacity-building measures. As transportation in Afghanistan is central to social stability and peacebuilding efforts, the development results generated by the master plan will go beyond the boundaries of the transport sector.
