An unco-ordinated and unmanaged mess, is how one of the most experienced Afghanistan analysts has described aid efforts in the country.

Presenter: Linda Mottram
Speakers: Dr Anthony Cordesman, Centre for Strategic and International Studies, Washington; Professor William Maley, Asia Pacific College of Diplomacy, Canberra; Mark Ward, special advisor on development, UNAMA, Kabul
