From the American People
Since 2009, the Economic Growth and Governance Initiative (EGGI) project has delivered technical assistance to strengthen the Afghan Government’s capacity to develop and implement economic and regulatory policy and improve the private sector enabling environment. The project supports cabinet-level economic decision-making and market reforms, budgetary reforms, tax administration and policy, and economic strategies and investment decisions in key economic corridors. Current EGGI support to the Ministry of Finance (MoF) enhances public financial management and implements key reforms that will help Afghanistan to move closer toward fiscal sustainability. Since 2009, EGGI activities have targeted private sector reforms to generate jobs, investment, and broad-based private sector-led economic growth.

I feel happy and prefer to work with the Ministry rather than anywhere else.”
