DESCRIPTION OF DIGITAL CASA AFGHANISTAN PROJECT Proposed Development Objective ―The proposed Development Objective is to increase access to digital services throughout Afghanistan, via a regionally integrated, secure and affordable digital infrastructure, including the expansion of e-Government services and digital job opportunities‖. Cost and Components ―Digital CASA Afghanistan is estimated at around $90 million, and will consist of a mix of regional and national IDA funds. Since this is a regional program with significant spillover benefits across countries, supplementary regional IDA funding is expected to complement national IDA allocations for up to two-thirds of the total IDA financing of the regional activities. The components will build on the successful implementation of the ongoing ICT Sector Development Project and are expected to be structured as follows: Component 1: Supply-side (digital connectivity), $60million. Under PPP frameworks, this component will finance domestic and cross-border infrastructure that is needed to ensure greater access to affordable high speed Internet services, both within Afghanistan and in neighboring countries. Activities may include but are not limited to: (a) financing and operation of regional backhaul optical fiber networks; this may include connecting Afghanistan with China through the Wakhan Border, and strengthening links with other neighboring countries such as Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan (b) deployment of high capacity, domestic fiber-optic networks, including the 9 provincial capitals that remain to be connected and select rural areas of the country; (c) financing of the pre-purchase of Internet bandwidth for the Government usage; (d) financing of the establishment of a Government Network (GovNet) for providing broadband connectivity to government institutions, including schools, universities, government offices at central and provincial levels; and (e) financing of investments in Internet exchange point that may be facilitated

  • Afghanistan: Extremism & Terrorism
    Afghanistan: Extremism & Terrorism On September 7, 2021, the Taliban officially announced the appointments within its caretaker government. At the helm of the movement is Haibatullah Akhundzada, who will serve as supreme leader. Mullah Muhammad Hassan was named the acting prime minister, with Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi named deputy prime ministers. The top security post was given to Sirajuddin Haqqani, who will serve as acting minister of the interior, a role in which he will have extensive authority over policing and legal matters. Mawlawi Mohammad Yaqoob, who is the oldest son of Taliban founder Mullah Muhammad Omar, is named the acting defense minister. The government is exclusively male, with many positions filled with veterans from their hardline movement in the early nineties. (Sources: New York Times, Associated Press) The appointments came a month after the Taliban began its offensive against major Afghan cities on August 6, 2021. By August 16, the Taliban laid siege to the presidential palace and took complete control of Kabul, declaring the war in Afghanistan had ended. The last U.S. troops flew out of Kabul on August 30, ending a 20-year war that took the lives of 2,500 American troops and 240,000 Afghans and cost about $2 trillion. By the evening of August 30, 123,000 people were evacuated from Kabul. Before departing, U.S. troops destroyed more than 70 aircraft, dozens of armored vehicles, and disabled air defenses that were used to counteract jihadist attacks in the country. The final withdrawal of U.S. troops was not a celebration of a more secure Afghanistan, but marked the beginning of a new Taliban regime.

    PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS December 1-December 15, 2010 STABILIZATION Training Enables Community Engagement at the Women's Center in Puli Alam: Following the recent construction of the Puli Alam Women’s Center in Logar Province, the Logar Department of Women’s Affairs (DoWA) requested additional USAID assistance to establish activities to promote community involvement. In close coordination with community leaders and the DoWA, USAID’s Local Governance and Community Development project supported three training workshops in bakery, the kitchen garden, and tailoring, and focused on Women at work during the tailoring training in the Puli Alam Women’s Center. Photo: USAID/LGCD promoting the facilities at the Women’s Center. Closing ceremonies graduated two women from the bakery training on December 2, and 40 women from the kitchen gardening training on December 8. Additional sessions provided bakery training to 18 men and women from Charkh and Mohammad Agha districts and kitchen gardening training to 15 women in Mohammad Agha. Tailoring training was provided to 42 women from Puli Alam at the Women’s Center and approximately 100 women at centers in Charkh and Mohammad Agha, with closing ceremonies anticipated in the coming weeks. All three workshops taught culturally acceptable, marketable skills, while providing an outlet for socialization and engagement. USAID is currently working with DoWA and the Ministry of Women’s Affairs in Kabul to plan and implement training for a Board of Directors to establish a self-sufficient and lasting operational system for the Women’s Center. Shahistah, a trainee, commented on benefits of the tailoring training saying, “My husband is working as a Health Cleric in the hospital and earns 3,000 Afs a month, which is nothing; also, we don’t have agriculture land.
