From 1997 to 2001, the international community put in place unique mechanisms to address the challenges to providing humanitarian assistance in Taliban-run Afghanistan. The Afghan Support Group (ASG), Principled Common Programming (PCP) and the Strategic Framework (SF) constituted a precedent-setting experiment that consumed thousands of hours in implementation in donor capitals and in the field. This article, written from the perspective of the leading donor of humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan, assesses the extent to which this Afghan experiment succeeded in increasing coherence on assistance policy issues, improving efficiency in assistance programmes and added synergy between assistance and peace efforts; identifies factors that limited further achievements; suggests how the mechanisms could have been improved; and analyses whether the overall effort politicised humanitarian assistance. The article concludes that the record of achievement was sufficiently promising that the ASG/PCP/SF experiment should be considered for application in other complex humanitarian emergencies.
1997年至2001年期间，国际社会设立了独特机制，以应对在塔利班控制的阿富汗提供人道主义援助所面临的挑战。阿富汗支持小组（ASG）、原则性共同规划（PCP）和战略框架（SF）构成了一项开创先例的试验，在捐助国首都和实地的实施耗费了数千小时。本文从阿富汗人道主义援助主要捐助方的角度撰写，评估了这项阿富汗试验在多大程度上成功增强了援助政策问题的连贯性、提高了援助方案的效率以及在援助与和平努力之间增添了协同效应；确定了限制进一步取得成果的因素；提出了如何改进这些机制；并分析了整体努力是否使人道主义援助政治化。文章得出结论，取得的成果记录相当可观，应考虑在其他复杂的人道主义紧急情况中应用阿富汗支持小组/原则性共同规划/战略框架试验。
