KABUL, Afghanistan –– More than 15 development projects were recently completed in Aibak district, Samangan province in northern Afghanistan.
The projects are part of the National Solidarity Program under the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan’s Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development.
The projects included the construction of two water tanks, the digging of four wells, gravelling of more than 125 miles of rural roads, brick-lining more than 1,900 meters of drainage lanes, an embroidery training course for women, the construction of 14 small bridges and of a 340-meter retaining wall. More than 3,000 families are expected to benefit from the projects.
The solidarity program was established to enable Afghan communities to identify, plan, manage and monitor their own development projects. The program is based on the Afghan traditions of “Ashar,” or community members working together to improve their community.
