Afghan officials have emphasized that not enough is being done to develop Afghanistan rapidly and effectively.

Andrew Natsios, administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, will review the challenges in Afghanistan, assess the success of the international partnership built at January's Tokyo donors conference, and look to the challenges ahead.
