Given its growing importance, SSC has generated diverse interest and debate within the larger development discourse.

The main concern centred on the lack of a systematic framework to account for and compare SSC experiences and interventions.

While there is resistance by Southern providers to adopting the traditional, North-centric approach to defining and accounting for development cooperation, there is emerging consensus on the need for a consistent, systematic approach to reporting on SSC.

At present, solutions to development problems learned in each SSC experience are mostly considered unique cases.

Overall, this situation hinders the scaling up of SSC and derails potential benefits from innovations that could increase impact for sustainable development.

The paper discusses the role the state before the on-going series of wars in Afghanistan started in 1978.

The main focus of the paper, however, is on the role of the Afghan state today in managing conflict between nomads and settlers, and on how that role could evolve.

The International Monetary Fund approved a program of assistance for Ukraine in the amount of 3.9 bln. dollars under the Stand by program on December 18, 2018.

There are less requirements under this program. However, the interesting fact is that the review of the program and, accordingly, the progress of the implementation of the memorandum will only be in June-July, just after the presidential elections.

On this basis, two risks can be noticed at once – attempts to reach the elections at any price and the uncertainty about the policy of the future president.
