KABUL: The World Bank has provided $25 million of interest-free loan to the government for bringing improvement in the basic urban services in the most vulnerable areas of the central capital.
A press release issued here on Thursday said the amount so provided would be spent under the Kabul Urban Reconstruction Project.
In this connection, the Ministry of Rural Development and Housing and the World Bank have jointly organised a three-day workshop scheduled to be held from Saturday to formally launch the project.
During the workshop, experts will deliver speeches and share experiences on urban up-gradation, arrangements for project implementation and collaboration among the ministry, municipality and the community during the course of the project completion.
It merits a mention here that Kabul faces challenges in terms of urban services in the face of large-scale return of Afghans from abroad and other parts of the country.

We do need Power and Road, it is not fair that in a capital, there is no enough power and Road all over the Capital city, i can give example of Qalai Zaman Khan, And Dey Khudaidad, which is located in 3-4 kilo merters of Presidency palace but, you can find, no Power, no a peice of Road,,, I hope you ppl take care of all these base matters. The Power and the Roads are the basic Construction and Reconstruction.
