Money being fungible, possibly some part of it will actually be spent as the donors intend. [ToloNews] The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN said the World Bank contributed $150 million to provide critical livelihood and life-saving assistance to the most vulnerable rural populations in Afghanistan. The FAO said that it will focus on wheat production, supporting about 2.1 million people. The Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock welcomed the World Bank’s financial support and said it will help Afghan farmers. "In normal years, we import 1 to 1.5 million tons of wheat. In the years of drought, we import 2 to 2.5 million tons," said Musbahuddin Mustayeen, a front man for the ministry. |
