From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After more than two decades of conflict, the Reconstruction of Afghanistan has begun, though it continues to hampered by continuing conflict.
There are more than 14,000 reconstruction projects under way in Afghanistan, such as the Kajakai Dam. [1] Many of these projects are being undertaken by Provincial Reconstruction Teams. The World Bank contribution is the multilateral Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF), which was set up in May 2002, is financed by 24 international donor countries and has, as of 2007, spent more than US$1.37 billion.[2] Approximately 30 billion US dollars have been provided by the international community for the reconstruction of Afghanistan.[citation needed]
