World Bank lends Afghanistan $166 million for reconstruction
United Nations - Afghanistan will receive $166 million in interest-free credits from the World Bank to reconstruct post-war communities, strengthen local governance, provide water to farms and aid the Government in increasing the efficiency of its customs and transit regime.
The Bank's Board of Executive Directors in Washington yesterday approved an interest-free loan of $95 million to expand Afghanistan's World Bank-supported National Solidarity Program (NSP), which was launched in 2002.
