482 Journal of the Spanish Institute for Strategic Studies N. 4 / 2014 Box 5: ASFF disbursements for the ANA and ANP A quick analysis of these figures shows us that about 10% of the total budget for the reconstruction of Afghanistan is used for the sustainment of the Afghan army (ANA) and almost 6% for the sustainment of the Afghan police (ANP), i.e. 30 billion for the ANA and just over 15 billion for the police. 6.8 Corruption Corruption has to be one of the fundamental elements of any self-respecting study on Afghanistan. It is a global issue that affects governmental structures, be they state, provincial or local structures. However, here we want to study how corruption affects the ANA and the police without comparing these two institutions to other institutions or structures. Neither will we examine the influence of corruption on the ANA and the ANP according to geographical areas of Afghanistan. The aim here is merely to briefly analyse the figure below46 wherein the police is detailed as being the most corrupt institution in Afghanistan and the ANA as the least corrupt (possibly due to the functions that they each carry out). 46  Consulted July 2014 under https://www.cimicweb.org/cmo/afg/Pages/CFCAFGReports.aspx .
