INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
UNAMA’s Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan Indrika Ratwatte has emphasized the need to implement economic and employment
projects to get a lasting solution to resolve the economic challenges in Afghanistan.While visiting the projects in Khost and Paktia
provinces for which $40 million have been allocated, Ratwatte said that people in wide and remote areas should be helped in
Afghanistan.“Continuous monitoring of aid delivery allows us to interact with people, identify their needs and be able to address them by
authorities and adapt projects,” said Ratwatte.“We think that for a society like Afghanistan, not only humanitarian aid is needed, but a
sustainable solution is needed to build the community and meet their needs,” he added.Meanwhile, the Deputy Minister of Economy Abdul
Latif Nazari stated that the ministry is looking for the development of employment and infrastructure projects in the country to curb the
economic challenges in the country.“The Ministry of Economy welcomes UNAMA’s report on sustainable support for the people of Afghanistan
Our effort is to develop employment and infrastructure projects,” said Nazari.Some experts, however, believe that more investments should
be made in large infrastructural projects in the country to create sustainable jobs for people and solve people’s economic
problems.Earlier, the UN officials said that due to the high level of need of the people in Afghanistan, the aid collected to this
organization was small and there is a need for countries to increase their aid to Afghanistan.The post UNAMA deputy stresses need to
