Drafted in 2012, the Tokyo Mutual Accountability Framework (TMAF) provides guidelines for Afghan reform and ongoing donor support and has proved useful, but it is hobbled by political, social, financial, and bureaucratic factors. The Ghani-Abdullah unity government, inaugurated in the autumn of 2014, is looking to refresh the agreement to fit an evolving political and economic context. Policy trade-offs are inevitable, however. They raise a critical question: Is the document intended to organize policy-level cooperation on all development efforts or is it a targeted and sequenced blueprint for enabling Afghan financial independence? This report examines the context and policy options of the TMAF and what it means for the future of Afghanistan.

This collection of pictures from the service of the pioneers in the 8th Motorized Rifle Division with short explanatory texts consists almost exclusively of amateur photographs provided by a large number of former members of the 8th MSD. The almost 900 illustrations are an interesting supplement to the book Pioniere in der 8th Motorisierten Schützendivision der Nationalen Volksarmee der DDR.The origin of this book is owed to the members of the Schwerin Pioneer Comradeship and above all to the initiative of their chairman Jochen Schmidt. So it came about that many of them diligently rummaged through their old photo albums and collections, selected the pictures or made their albums completely available for scanning for this documentation. A fortunate circumstance is certainly also that the pioneers hardly had any technology that had to be kept particularly secret, so that prohibitions that were violated when taking pictures were not evaluated as strictly as elsewhere.However, former non-pioneers also contributed some of their old photographs. The main task of the pioneers was to make sure that the actions of the troops and units of the division were properly documented. Many of the photographs on hand therefore show the interaction of the pioneers with the other branches of arms, special forces and services. Therefore, this illustrated book can certainly arouse the interest of the alumni from all these areas. Diese Bildersammlung aus dem Dienst der Pioniere in der 8. Motorisierten Schützendivision mit kurzen erläuternden Texten besteht fast nur aus Amateuraufnahmen, die von einer Vielzahl ehemaliger Angehöriger der 8. MSD bereitgestellt wurden. Die fast 900 Abbildungen sind eine interessante Ergänzung zu dem Buch Pioniere in der 8. Motorisierten Schützendivision der Nationalen Volksarmee der DDR. Die Entstehung dieses Buches ist den Angehörigen der Pionierkameradschaft Schwerin und vor allem der Initiative ihre Vorsitzenden Jochen Schmidt zu verdanken. So kam es, dass viele fleißig in ihren alten Fotoalben und -sammlungen wühlten, die Bilder auswählten oder ihre Alben komplett zum Scannen für diese Dokumentation zur Verfügung stellten. Ein glücklicher Umstand ist sicherlich auch, dass die Pioniere kaum über besonders geheimzuhaltende Technik verfügten und so beim Knipsen übertretene Verbote nicht so streng wie anderswo gewertet wurden. Jedoch auch ehemalige Nichtpioniere steuerten einige ihrer alten Fotografien bei. Die Hauptaufgabe der Pioniere bestand nun einmal in der Pioniersicherstellung der Handlungen der Truppenteile und Einheiten der Division. Viele der vorliegenden Aufnahmen zeigen daher das Zusammenwirken der Pioniere mit den anderen Waffengattungen, Spezialtruppen und Diensten. Darum kann dieser Bildband sicherlich auch Interesse bei den Ehemaligen aus all diesen Bereichen wecken.
