SUMMARY 
------- 
 
¶1. (C) As announced by the President on March 27, the 
United States Government has concluded its Afghanistan- 
Pakistan Strategic Review (Ref A).  The conclusions of 
the Strategic Review -- informed by consultations with 
the Governments of Afghanistan and Pakistan, NATO Allies, 
International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) 
contributors and other international partners -- make 
clear that additional civilian and military resources 
will be required for both Afghanistan and Pakistan.  U.S. 
and international support is required to effectively 
implement a comprehensive strategy to stabilize 
Afghanistan and enable the Afghans to assume 
responsibility for securing their own country, and to 
stabilize Pakistan and enable its efforts to combat 
terrorism.  The Department requests action addressees to 
encourage host governments to contribute the specific 
civilian and military resources listed below by country 
to support the international mission in Afghanistan and 
to promote regional cooperation, particularly with 
Pakistan.  We will look to the upcoming April 17 Pakistan 
Donors Conference in Tokyo to provide funding for 
initiatives in Pakistan. 
 
OBJECTIVES 
---------- 
 
¶2. (C) The Department requests action addressees to 
pursue the following objectives, whenever possible in 
tandem with counter-part Afghan Embassy officials: 
 
- inform host governments of the conclusions of the U.S. 
Strategic Review regarding Afghanistan and Pakistan, 
drawing on points in Ref A; and 
 
- seek host governments' agreement to provide urgently 
the specific contributions outlined below. 
 
DEADLINE 
-------- 
 
¶3. (SBU) Action addressees are requested to report the 
results of their efforts by front-channel cable slugged 
for SCA/A Tom Reott and EUR/RPM Aaron Cope by April 10, 
¶2009. 
 
BACKGROUND 
---------- 
 
¶4. (SBU) The U.S. Afghanistan-Pakistan Strategic Review 
is complete.  The President spoke to the issue on March 
¶27.  Our consultations with Allies and partners began 
formally with Vice President Biden, National Security 
Advisor Jones, and Special Representative Holbrooke's 
participation in the Munich Security Conference on 
February 6-8.  Delegations from the Governments of 
Afghanistan and Pakistan also visited Washington the week 
of February 23 to participate in the review.  Secretary 
Clinton and Special Representative Holbrooke engaged 
their counterparts and welcomed their input.  Secretary 
of Defense Gates sought input from Allies and partners at 
the NATO informal Defense Ministerial in Krakow on 
February 19-20.  Vice President Biden and Under Secretary 
of Defense Flournoy held discussions with Allies at the 
North Atlantic Council on March 10, and separately with 
European Union (EU) officials to discuss civilian-sector 
strategy.  That same day, President Obama and Secretary 
General Ban met at the White House and re-affirmed the 
importance of boosting civilian capacity.  Special 
Representative Holbrooke also visited Brussels to brief 
the North Atlantic Council and the EU on March 23.  The 
Netherlands will host a conference in The Hague March 31 
titled "International Conference on Afghanistan: A 
Comprehensive Strategy in a Regional Context."  Held at 
the Minister level, this conference will underscore our 
shared stake in a stable and secure Afghanistan, and seek 
strategic consensus on a way forward for Afghanistan and 
the region (Ref B). 
 
¶5. (SBU)  The conclusions of the Strategic Review -- 
informed by these consultations -- make clear that 
additional civilian and military resources are needed to 
implement effectively a comprehensive strategy to 
stabilize Afghanistan and enable the Afghans to assume 
greater responsibility for their own security.  The 
United States is preparing to increase significantly our 
civilian presence to complement the additional 
deployments recently announced by the President:  17,700 
soldiers and Marines authorized in February who will take 
the fight to the Taliban in the south and east; and, 
approximately 4,000 troops to help train Afghan National 
Security Forces, which the President announced on March 
¶27.  Success urgently requires that Allies and partners 
make new contributions against civilian and military 
requirements, most of which were previously outlined in 
Ref D.  As we implement our updated strategy, we may make 
additional requests or refine requests, possibly 
including requests for maneuver forces from other 
countries.  Security assistance teams in many embassies 
have already identified smaller military requests such as 
force protection teams, fixed site security teams, and 
engineering elements.  Bilateral discussions regarding 
these contributions should continue provided these 
potential contributions fulfill a military requirement 
and do not strain U.S. resources. 
 
GENERAL TALKING POINTS 
---------------------- 
 
¶6. (SBU) Action addressees should draw on the following 
points, in conjunction with Ref A talking points, to 
outline the conclusions of the Afghanistan-Pakistan 
Strategic Review and the need for additional 
contributions of civilian and military resources to 
Afghanistan. Washington will separately convey requests 
for specific contributions for Pakistan prior to the 
April 17 donors conference. 
 
- As announced by the President on March 27, the United 
States has completed its Afghanistan-Pakistan Strategic 
Review, drawing on the input of the Governments of 
Afghanistan and Pakistan and in consultation with Allies 
and partners. 
 
- Secretary Clinton will use the opportunity of the 
International Conference on Afghanistan in The Hague on 
March 31 to outline further the results of our strategic 
review. 
 
- (For NATO Allies Only) The President plans to share 
directly with his Allied counterparts the conclusions of 
our strategic review at the April 3-4 NATO Summit. 
 
- (For EU Member States Only) The President plans to 
share directly with his EU counterparts the conclusions 
of our strategic review at the April 5 U.S.-EU informal 
Summit in Prague. 
 
- The situation on the ground in Afghanistan and in the 
border region shared with Pakistan is serious, and we 
have no time to waste. 
 
- The conclusions of the strategic review as well as 
consultations with the Governments of Afghanistan and 
Pakistan, Allies and partners make clear that additional 
civilian and military assets are needed in priority 
areas. 
 
- The United States has committed to sending 17,700 
soldiers and Marines and approximately 4,000 troops to 
help train Afghan National Security Forces and plans to 
increase significantly our civilian staffing to meet 
these clear and urgent security needs. 
 
- President Obama has made clear that as the United 
States increases its contributions in Afghanistan, we 
will look to our Allies and partners to join us with 
additional civilian and military resources toward our 
shared mission. 
 
- The United States will also look to our Allies and 
partners to work together for the security and stability 
of Pakistan.  We hope that all countries will use the 
opportunity of the April 17 donors' conference in Tokyo 
to demonstrate their commitment to Pakistan by making a 
strong pledge.  The United States will pledge 
approximately $1 billion. 
 
- The United States will convey separately requests for 
specific contributions for Pakistan prior to the April 17 
donors' conference. 
 
- (For NATO Allies)  Following on our previous message 
last week outlining the results of our strategic review 
and conveying our desire to gain specific support from 
our NATO Allies, we urge Allies to commit by the NATO 
Summit: to provide new contributions of troops to fully 
resource the Election Support Force, provide significant 
funding to NATO's Afghan National Army (ANA) Trust Fund 
and the UN elections fund, complete the remaining 
Operation and Mentoring Liaison Teams (OMLTs), and commit 
to provide further mentoring for the development of the 
Afghan Army and Police.  These contributions should be 
focused on as a priority so that NATO can demonstrate 
collective resolve at the NATO Summit in Strasbourg-Kehl 
around these shared deliverables.  This message also 
contains recommendations for other areas of required 
support. 
 
- (For EU member states)  we urge EU member states to 
reaffirm their willingness to have their civilian 
assistance be coordinated by the UN Assistance Mission to 
Afghanistan (UNAMA), and to contribute staff and material 
support to extend UNAMA's reach and effectiveness in 
partnering with Afghans at national and local levels.  We 
urge member states to commit to deploy a robust election 
observation mission, expand police reform, governance, 
and rule of law programs, and intensify long-term 
development assistance.   We also urge member states to 
increase civilian staffing and program funds at PRTs. 
 
CIVILIAN ASSISTANCE 
------------------- 
 
¶7. (SBU) The Department requests that action addressees 
share with host governments as a non-paper the following 
points outlining areas in which additional civilian 
assistance is needed in Afghanistan: 
 
- A central pillar of the new U.S. strategy in 
Afghanistan and Pakistan is providing adequate resources 
to assist the Government of Afghanistan to improve 
governance and generate economic development, especially 
in the agricultural sector. 
 
- Extending access to government services, reinforcing 
rule of law, and increasing economic opportunities are 
critical to ensuring the population is not vulnerable to 
efforts by terrorists and extremists to extend their 
influence. 
 
- Below is a list of areas in which additional civilian 
assistance is required. 
 
- Under the leadership of UNAMA, donor nations should 
seek to improve support for the Afghan National 
Development Strategy by reviewing assistance projects and 
setting clear priorities. Donors should follow-through on 
pledges made at the June 2008 Afghanistan Support 
Conference in Paris and provide their financial 
contributions. We have assessed that our assistance 
efforts need to address both the central government and 
the province- and district-level, particularly in the 
south and east.  Other donors may wish to focus efforts 
in complementary ways. 
 
-- Governance -- 
 
- Anti-Corruption:  Minister of Interior Atmar has asked 
the international community to dispatch 35 auditors to 
the Ministry of Interior to help create a network of 
provincial auditing teams to enhance local officials' 
accountability.  These auditors would team up with 35 
Afghans to form 35 teams of two, one team for each 
province and one based in Kabul, to gather audit findings 
and report directly to the Minister. 
 
- Capacity Building:  Strengthen national and local 
government institutions and provincial councils by 
ensuring adequate resources are available for ambitious 
nationwide training and technical assistance programs, 
particularly training that strengthens public 
administration capacity at all levels.  This includes 
providing expert personnel to mentor and advise at local, 
provincial, and national levels. 
 
- Revenue Generation:  The Government of Afghanistan 
needs assistance to support both tax and non-tax revenue. 
Donors should consider assistance to train customs 
officials, upgrade customs infrastructure at border 
crossings, and implement the Automated System for Customs 
Data nationwide and link it with Pakistani customs 
systems. 
 
- Rule of Law:  Contributions are needed to the 
Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF) with a 
preference for the justice sector, and to the Law and 
Order Trust Fund for Afghanistan (LOTFA).  Donors should 
consider providing expert personnel and funding for the 
Provincial Justice Coordination Mechanism, managed by 
UNAMA; support the Independent National Legal Training 
Center in Kabul; increase resources devoted to legal aid 
and legal scholarships; and fund infrastructure to 
provide prisons, courthouses, and prosecution offices. 
 
- Counter-Terror Financing:  Donors should consider 
providing technical assistance to the Central Bank to 
build capacity in Anti-Money Laundering/Countering the 
Financing of Terrorism.  The Central Bank requires 
enhanced capacity to identify, investigate, prosecute, 
and seize assets from terrorist organizations, narcotics 
traffickers, and organized criminal groups. 
 
- Strategic Communications:  We encourage donors to 
increase support for strategic communications. 
Additional support is needed to meet personnel 
requirements, build expertise through training programs, 
upgrade and purchase communications equipment, build 
Afghan Government Media Information Center (GMIC) 
capacity, improve message development through audience 
analysis research, promote non-violent norms through 
formal and informal education, and to fully integrate 
strategic communications efforts in Pakistan.  Particular 
attention is required to ensure strategic communications 
efforts are integrated with ongoing security, governance, 
development, election, and other outreach programs at the 
local level. 
 
 
-- Economic Development -- 
 
- Agriculture:  Development of the agricultural sector, 
especially to create rural jobs quickly, is a top 
priority requiring urgent support.  The Ministry of 
Agriculture has developed specific project proposals that 
require funding this fiscal year.  The United States will 
fund parts of some of these projects and encourages 
Allies and partners to support projects and training in 
areas such as agronomy, animal husbandry, irrigation and 
watershed management, marketing and processing of 
agricultural products, rural electrification, storage 
facilities, and access to credit. 
 
- Private Sector Development:  Donors should consider 
programs to expand financial services, business 
development services, import/export facilities, and 
legislation and regulation to enable and attract private 
investment.  Donors should also explore opportunities for 
joint venture investments that link Afghan companies to 
international markets, including investments in critical 
infrastructure such as rail-links. 
 
- Roads:  We encourage donors to fund road construction, 
especially projects associated with farm-to-market and 
natural resource development initiatives.  The Ministry 
of Mines has recently issued requests for Expressions of 
Interest for private investors to develop an iron mine, 
oil and gas blocks, and other mineral deposits which are 
remote and lack road links to markets. 
 
- Energy:  We encourage donors to contribute to the 
reserve fund to support the CASA-1300 project, an 
electricity transmission line linking Kyrgyzstan and 
Tajikistan with Afghanistan and Pakistan, and to consider 
funding renewable energy projects, such as micro-hydro 
units. 
 
- Regional Trade: We encourage donors to contribute to 
assistance programs that will integrate Afghanistan into 
regional trade networks. 
 
- Economic Reform:  We encourage donors to contribute to 
the ARTF.   Contributions to the economic reform window 
of the ARTF provide the Government of Afghanistan with 
discretionary funding against compliance with agreed 
policy benchmarks aimed at improving revenue generation, 
strengthening governance, and promoting private sector 
development. 
 
- Natural Resources:  The Afghan Cabinet recently 
approved Afghanistan's participation in the Extractive 
Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), which is meant 
to prevent corruption in natural resource exploitation, 
promote private investment, and ensure the benefits from 
such development are broadly shared among the populace. 
The Government of Afghanistan is seeking donor support 
for implementation of EITI. 
 
-- Health:  The Ministry of Health is implementing a 
successful, nation-wide program to deliver basic health 
services.  The popular program responds to some of the 
Afghan peoples most basic needs.  We encourage donors to 
provide funding, including core support, and technical 
assistance to both sustain and expand service delivery. 
 
-- Education:  Vocational, Specialized and Higher -- 
 
- We encourage donors to support the Ministry of 
Education in improving and expanding access to education 
at all levels.  Particular attention is needed to improve 
quality and access to higher education including 
religious and non-religious universities.  Support for 
vocational training is also urgently needed  to create 
more short-term opportunities for employment and to meet 
projected long-term industry and resource needs in areas 
such as agriculture, mining, construction, and 
engineering.  Funds are needed for the expansion of the 
Afghanistan Technical Vocational Institute (ATVI) and for 
scholarships for Afghans to attend the Institute.  ATVI 
is a coeducational, vocational school in Kabul that 
prepares graduates for employment in 
agriculture/horticulture, construction, information and 
communications technology, and automotive mechanics. 
Expanded capacity to provide training in accounting, 
auditing, commercial law, and English language is also 
needed. 
 
-- SECURITY -- 
 
- Police Mentoring:  Fully-formed Police Mentoring Teams 
for the Afghan National Police are urgently needed. 
These should include security personnel, armored 
vehicles, weapons, and other necessary equipment.  On a 
limited basis, individual officers could assist with 
curriculum development or oversee Afghan-led police 
training courses at basic and advanced levels. 
 
- Counter-narcotics:  We urge other donors to increase 
support for the Afghan Ministry of Counter-Narcotics' 
Good Performers Initiative (GPI), which provides direct 
incentives to provinces that significantly reduce or 
eliminate poppy cultivation using rapidly-deployed 
development projects. 
 
- Border Management:  Donors should consider funding to 
support the development of the Afghan Customs Department 
and the Afghan Border Police by providing the following: 
Customs experts as trainers for an Afghan National 
Customs Academy and funding for infrastructure, including 
equipment, lighting, and security assets at border 
crossing points and internal Customs depots. 
 
- De-mining:  Afghanistan faces a $500 million funding 
shortfall to meet de-mining objectives over the next five 
years, with a $50 million shortage already projected for 
this year.  Donors should consider bilateral donations to 
the Government of Afghanistan or contributions to the UN- 
administered Voluntary Trust Fund.
