KABUL, Afghanistan – International Security Assistance Force responded today to media reporting on U.S. Agency for International Development projects in Afghanistan. ISAF leaders underscore the important role of USAID in supporting development in Afghanistan.
“USAID plays an essential role in securing military gains through its assistance programs. We are assured there will be no gaps in USAID’s agricultural and other programs in the south that provide such key support to our joint effort,” said Maj. Gen. Richard Rossmanith, ISAF deputy chief of staff for Stabilization. “We are in regular consultation with USAID and Afghan authorities as we consider together ways to support Afghanistan’s transition to greater security and sustainable growth.”
“USAID’s efforts and programs are key to our sustained success,” said Rossmanith. “We're confident they will continue to press ahead with their efforts to support development in Afghanistan."
