Japan has recently added more monetary support:

Japan Pledges $5 Billion in New Afghan Aid

I think there is a real push on the part of the international community to get the Afghans on their feet, and I’m very glad. It’s important they know we’ll leave their country to them, and more important we give them the help they need to take care of themselves.

5 Billion pledged equals 3.5 billion actually doing anything. The rest will simply be stolen.
