# Policy, SDGs and Fighting Corruption for the People: A Civil Society Report on Afghanistan’s Sustainable Development Goals URL: https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/policy-sdgs-and-fighting-corruption-afghanistan-a-civil-society-report Type: Publication or report Published: 2018-03-08 Updated: 2020-08-24 --- 08 March 2018 The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan’s sustainable development – and ability to achieve its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) commitments – is continually undermined by the widespread, systemic presence of corruption in the country. Adopted by 193 nations, the SDGs seek to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. This report provides independent analysis to complement and scrutinise official government progress reports related to SDG targets that focus directly on corruption. It provides a comprehensive picture of national anti-corruption progress across a range of policy areas. ## Additional downloads - [Download 'Dari translation Policy SD Gs and Fighting Corruption' \[PDF\]](https://files.transparencycdn.org/images/Dari_translation-Policy_SDGs_and_Fighting_Corruption.pdf) ### Related publications ## [Regional Assessment of Integrity in Political Finance in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/integrity-political-finance-asia) Publication • 03 September 2026 This report reviews systems across 17 countries to identify the areas of political finance most in need of reform. ## [Annual Report 2025](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/annual-report-2025) Publication • 17 July 2026 In 2025, Transparency International pursued its mission to stop corruption and promote transparency, accountability and integrity at all levels and across all sectors of society. ## [Breaking the Silos: A Practical Guide to Fighting Corruption with a Human Rights-Based Approach](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/breaking-the-silos-a-practical-guide-to-fighting-corruption-with-a-human-rights-based-approach) Publication • 25 June 2026 This guide seeks to equip human rights defenders and anti-corruption advocates with practical tools to promote accountability for corrupt acts. ## [Connecting the Dots: How financial intelligence units expose corrupt money flows and how they could do more](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/connecting-the-dots) Publication • 24 June 2026 Financial intelligence units can play a key role in uncovering corruption, but only if they have the powers, resources and access to information they need. ## Priorities - [Sustainable Development Goals](https://www.transparency.org/en/our-priorities/sustainable-development-goals) ## Countries - [Afghanistan](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/afghanistan) ## Projects - [Accountability in Asia Pacific](https://www.transparency.org/en/projects/accountability-in-asia-pacific) ![](https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/2018_Report_PolicySDGsandFightingCorruption_EN_116.jpg?auto=compress&fit=crop&fm=webp&w=1200) [Download](https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/2018_Report_PolicySDGsandFightingCorruption_EN.pdf)
