Kandahar, Afghanistan

According to a press release issued today by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), a project to conduct routine and emergency maintenance work on three critical roads (Arghanda road, the Panjwai road and the Southern Bypass) will begin in Afghanistan’s southern province of Kandahar. According to the press release, “the maintenance work will significantly increase the durability of these 36km of roads and maximize the socio-economic benefit for the people of Kandahar province.” The press release also stated that: “UNOPS will work closely with the MPW [Ministry of Public Works] in Kandahar, and provide training to staff of the Maintenance Department as well as urgently needed equipment.” All three roads were constructed between 2005 and 2007 with funding from the Japanese government.
