Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. Dutch Minister for Development Cooperation Agnes van
Ardenne announced at the September 21 Dubai international
donors meeting that the Netherlands would contribute EUR 82.5
million (USD 95 million) to Afghanistan reconstruction over
the period of 2003-2006. The money will be directed to the
Afghan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF). Ms. Marit van
Zomeren of the MFA's Southern Asia Division provided the
following breakdown of the Dutch pledge:
-- 2003 -- EUR 35 million (EUR 17.5 million of this total
already distributed since Sept 21 announcement)
-- 2004 -- EUR 17.5 million
-- 2005 -- EUR 15 million
-- 2006 -- EUR 15 million
2. In addition to these ARTF pledges, the Netherlands may
also provide a small amount of bilateral funding to a handful
of select projects (ref B) in Afghanistan, but the MFA has
not released any details.
