Nation Rebuilding in the Aftermath of the Election
Afghanistan's nation rebuilding and reconstruction process has come a
long way to the historic direct presidential election this month. An interim
administration was installed following the Bonn Agreement in December
2001. The first recurrent (ordinary) budget was announced together with the
National Development Framework in April 2002. The Emergency Loya
Jirga was held in June 2002 followed by the installation of the transitional
government led by President Karzai. The new constitution characterized by
Islam as the national religion, a centralized power at the presidency, and
gender equality in principle, was approved by the "constitutional Loya
Jirga" and signed into law in January 2004. The first population census was
carried out successfully under difficult political and security circumstances
and paved the ground for voter registration toward the presidential election
that took place on 9 October 2004.
