The Construction of Health and Educational Facilities (CHEF) project addresses the medical needs of more than two million Afghan citizens through the construction of two new hospitals and serve the needs of more than one million Afghan citizens through the construction of three provincial midwife training centers. These health facilities will support the Ministry of Public Health in its efforts to provide urgently needed health services, including in-patient and out-patient referral and treatment. The hospitals will also serve as training facilities for health professionals, as well as venues for medical conferences and seminars. The education component of the CHEF project aims to address the teacher training needs (current and projected) identified by the Ministry of Education, by providing provincial teacher training colleges to educate trainers of teachers and teachers themselves, to strengthen the educational requirements of the country, and to increase the quality and number of teachers.
