Abstract
HMEP forms part of the multinational and multi-agency Helmand Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) and is designed to help improve the effectiveness of stabilisation and development programmes in Afghanistan. Since 2009, HMEP has supported the planning process within the PRT, tracked progress against plans (How well are we doing?) and provided evidence for what interventions are most likely to generate desired results (Are we doing the right things?).
