Background:
The Ministry of Counter Narcotics (MCN) has been established with the objective to take the leading role in
the development, co-ordination, monitoring and evaluation of the Afghan Government's Counter Narcotics
strategy. The Good Performance Initiative (GPI) is an International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs
(INL)-funded program, implemented by the Ministry of Counter Narcotics (MCN) in Afghanistan. The
Program, which was started in 2007, seeks to incentivize provincial governors' Counter Narcotic and supply
reduction activities and support sustainable, community-led development projects in the provinces that have
reduced or eliminated poppy cultivation successfully. After re-designing of GPI in 2014, the mandate of
Good Performers Initiative-II (GPI-II) is to increase access to sustainable licit livelihoods
opportunities in awarded provinces of Afghanistan and encourage poppy free provinces in regard to
licit cultivation. It is designed around systems for developing farmer friendly projects to transfer
Good agriculture production technologies to farmers, distributing quality inputs to motivate the
farmers in regard to grow high value agriculture instead of illicit poppy cultivation. It sought to
design high impact farmer-oriented rural projects to increase food availability and household
incomes that correspond with Ministry of Counter Narcotic (MCN) alternative livelihood police
objectives.
