The Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF) was established in 2002, and is administered by the World Bank to respond to the need for a dependable and predictable mechanism to support the Government of Afghanistan’s budget. ARTF is the main multi-donor trust fund for international development assistance to enable national Afghan programs and service delivery. It supports the non-security, recurrent operational expenditures of the Afghan government, and provides grant financing for economic and social development priorities through a number of National Priority Programs. Canada, along with other donors, supports ARTF’s recurrent cost window and investment programs in health, education, and women, adolescent girls’ and girls’ rights and empowerment. This project is pivotal to increasing the self-reliance of the Afghan government to deliver basic services to its people. The ARTF supports national priority programs including education, health, agriculture, rural development, infrastructure and governance.
