United Nations has said that there is currently no indication of an early improvement in the security situation in Afghanistan, adding a better coordinated international effort is crucial to reversing overall negative trends. The latest United Nations report says that if the negative trends are not corrected, there is a risk that the deteriorating overall situation will become irreversible in Afghanistan which cannot be afforded. The report submitted to Security Council by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says that the country is now at a critical juncture, with increased Taliban attacks affecting both for the Government’s ability to deliver basic services and that of the international community to provide aid. The report says there is a need for a change of mindset in the international community as well as in the Government of Afghanistan, adding that without that change, the prospects of success will diminish further. The report says NATO-led international security force in Afghanistan should appoint a senior civilian official to help improve political and development coordination. It also stressed the need to beef up the international coordination structure in the war-torn country under a United Nations umbrella and strengthening the UN mission with mechanism to have better talks with key donors countries and embassies in Kabul. The report cites insufficient resources as one cause of the current lack of such coordination and warns that if the international community continues with substituting local capacity, rather than of capacity-building, the result would be entrenchment and ultimately failure.
