This report presents the Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Funds (ARTF's) financial and performance status for the third quarter of SY1386 which ended on December 21, 2007. Donors have paid in US$158 million during the quarter, an increase of 48 percent since September 2007. Total paid-in contributions for the year to date stand at US$489 million, surpassing total contributions for SY1385. Of the total pledges for the year, 46 percent are preference for five national priority programs, higher than in previous years reflecting the temporary relaxation of the referencing limit for the remainder of the solar year agreed by donors and Management in October 2007. Since inception in 2002, donors have contributed a total of US$2.3 billion to the ARTF. During the third quarter, ARTF financing commitments increased by US$10 million in the investment window, reflecting the signing of the newly agreed ARTF Management Capacity Program, and by US$72 million in the recurrent window. The ARTF investment portfolio is now financing eleven active public investment programs of the government. At the end of the quarter, the cumulative value of ARTF commitments stood at US$394 million, of which 70 percent has been disbursed. The ARTF disbursed US$270 million to the Government of Afghanistan in the third quarter of SY1386, bringing cumulative disbursements to US$ 360 million for SY1386. The bulk of disbursement in this quarter (72 percent) was through the recurrent window, for the reimbursement of the government's eligible payroll & operating expenses. SY1386 disbursements for investment programs are projected at US$185 million.
