Viewing cable 03OTTAWA1168, OTTAWA: LETTER FROM U/S LARSON AND TAYLOR ON

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

SUBJECT: OTTAWA: LETTER FROM U/S LARSON AND TAYLOR ON 
FILING THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT'S FINANCING GAP 
 
REF: STATE 105217 
 
 1. (SBU) We delivered reftel message April 25 to Hau Sing 
Tse, Vice-President of the Canadian International Development 
 
SIPDIS 
Agency (CIDA) and to Jonathan Fried, Senior Assistant Deputy 
Minister of Finance, with a copy to the Department of Foreign 
Affairs and Trade. The GOC is discussing allocation of its 
remaining aid commitments, and hopes to have a proposal for 
approval by Minister Whelan by early June. 
 
2. (SBU) A CIDA official confirmed that of Canada's 
two-year, C$250 million pledge in Brussels, C$23.5 million 
has been committed to the ARTF for this year's operational 
expenses, with another allocation planned for next year. 
That timing is now being reconsidered. Canada plans to focus 
its development assistance on livelihoods; natural resources 
(including agriculture); and security/rule of law. Between 
now and early June the GOC is consulting with the Afghan 
government and other donors to determine the major outline of 
its allocations of development and operational assistance, 
and the extent to which development funds can be redirected 
to the ARTF.
