Abstract

This report is the result of an evaluation of the Swedish troop contribution to PRT (Provincial Reconstruction Team)in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan.The purpose of the report is twofold. The first purpose is to describe the British led PRT Mazar-e-Sharif focusing on the Swedish contribution. In accordance to this, recommendations will be presented spotlighting the Swedish part of the contribution.The second purpose is to conclude if there is room for improvements ahead of the Swedish takeover of the PRT Mazar-e-Sharif. The results are in particular aimed for decision makers within the Swedish government and for those responsible for planning procedures within the Swedish Defence, but the report is also written in a way that invites other readers interested in the subject.
