Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, if he will publish the latest Joint Analysis of Conflict and Stability assessment for Afghanistan; and if he will place a copy in the House Commons Library.

The Government last formally revised its Joint Analysis of Conflict and Stability (JACS) for Afghanistan in 2019. We continue to carefully monitor the situation in Afghanistan with new reports and assessments commissioned by the UK and our partners on an on-going basis.

Due to the highly sensitive conflict context in Afghanistan, the latest JACS is not a public document. Other analysis is available, including the annual report issued by the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) that covers threats to conflict and stability worldwide. Further reports and assessments of a specific nature are released on a case-by-case basis.
