This project aims to support effective peace and security efforts in Afghanistan through the NATO Afghan National Army Trust Fund. The Trust Fund is a key component of security and stability in the country by helping to ensure the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces are sufficiently trained and equipped to fulfill their responsibility of maintaining national security. The Trust Fund, through the implementation of sub-projects, supports activities which include: (1) enhancing operational and strategic planning; (2) providing expert technical assistance and advisors; (3) procurement of essential supplies, including medical equipment; (4) improving the integration and professional development of women; (5) construction of vital infrastructure; and (6) providing training to and professional development of senior leaders and administrators of the Afghan National Army.

The expected outcome for this project is the increased effectiveness of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces in Afghanistan.

Results achieved as of March 2021 include: (1) supported 37 projects through Canadian funds; (2) increased the skills and knowledge of the Afghan National Army on key areas such as explosive ordnance disposal and human rights; (3) supported medical consumables and equipment to help sustain the Afghan National Army, enabling them to better respond to the security needs of the Afghan population. To date, the Afghan National Army Trust Fund has supported more than 656 projects.
