Reports: New development projects to begin and others have been completed in Afghanistan

Across Afghanistan there are scores of new development projects that will either soon be launched or have been completed. Many of these projects will not only bring much needed infrastructure and money to the Afghan government, but also bring much needed services to the people of Afghanistan.

On July 2, Pajhwok Afghan News (PAN) reported that Abdul Jabbar Naeemi, the governor of Khost province, announced that small roads along with several large bridges will be built to aid the people of this eastern province to become more easily connected with other parts of the country. Besides the bridges, there are also plans to build customs facilities, schools, health clinics, public parks as well as a dam. The report also stated that aВ  new building for the Khost Medical University will be built. According to the report, this new facility will be able to hold 130 beds. There are also eight agricultural projects on the agenda. Funding for the projects will come from the budgets of the various ministries, the United Nations, as well as the government of the United States.

PAN also reported recently that in In Jowzjan province, a new water project has been completed where approximately 44,000 families spread over 178 villages will stand to benefit from. Officials from the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development told PAN that this project will provide desperately needed potable water to eight districts in the province, in which clean drinking water has been scarce.

Finally, according to Afghanistan’s Bakhtar News Agency, several new facilities will be housed in a recently completed building for the Spin-Boldak District Hospital, in Afghanistan’s southern province of Kandahar. In the new building there will be a mortuary and a morgue to house the district’s deceased. There also has been a water reservoir constructed for the same hospital in order to provide it with a source of potable water. The newly constructed hospital building and reservoir was inaugurated by the Spin-Boldak District Chief, Abdul Ghani, and was paid for by and constructed by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
