(Reuters) - Ministers will pledge funds for Afghanistan at a donors conference which got under way in Paris on Thursday.

Afghanistan's government is asking the ministers and other delegates from 67 countries to fund a $50 billion five-year development plan, for which donors will demand that Kabul do more to fight graft which has deterred investment.

Following is a breakdown of the nearly $25 billion donated for Afghanistan's reconstruction since 2001, according to the Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief, an alliance of aid agencies. Its numbers are based on Afghan Ministry of Finance data provided in February 2008, in millions of U.S. dollars:
