UN Welcomes Kabul’s Progress In Fighting Corruption

In a report released on Tuesday, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) said that although Afghan authorities have made headway in their fight against corruption enormous challenges remain.

“For the sake of the country’s future, corruption in Afghanistan must be addressed and eliminated,” said Tadamichi Yamamoto, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Afghanistan.

“The United Nations welcomes the progress already made, and fully supports the government’s ongoing efforts to fight corruption in the interest of ending impunity, ensuring accountability and transparency, and restoring integrity to the management of public services, finances and natural resources,” he said.

The report, titled Afghanistan’s Fight Against Corruption: The Other Battlefield, UNAMA highlights the progress the country has made in addressing corruption.

“It is my sincere hope that the progress made so far in the fight against corruption and the recommendations contained in our report will serve as a platform to achieve greater policy coherence and coordination in Afghanistan,” said Yamamoto.

The report also points out that corruption has affected all aspects of life in Afghanistan, undermining public trust and confidence in government institutions, and hindering efforts to bring lasting peace and prosperity to the country.

UNAMA stated that the establishment of the Anti-Corruption Justice Center (ACJC) has been a key factor in fighting corruption and that the center is actively investigating,  prosecuting and adjudicating cases, the report indicates that Afghanistan is showing progress in restoring institutional control over the delivery of essential public services and management of public finances.

The report makes several recommendations, but states that government’s ongoing anti-corruption efforts have yet to impact the lives of most Afghans.

It states that corruption remains a substantial obstacle to Afghanistan’s long-term peace and prosperity.

“The report serves as a stark reminder that the fight against corruption cannot be won in the short term, and that the battle requires the sustained commitment on the part of the government and the general public, and full support from the international community,” said Yamamoto.
