Street lights, traffic circles, and public rest rooms installed.

USAID/ASMED

A new traffic circle in Farah City.

30 April 2009 | Farah, Afghanistan

Residents of Farah City now enjoy safer streets and improved public facilities thanks to a grant from USAID. The marketplace development grant, which is a tool for communities to finance improvements to local public infrastructure, enabled the installation of solar-powered street lights, two traffic circles, and four public rest rooms. Implemented by USAID, the Farah Provincial Reconstruction Team, and the Municipality of Farah, these small infrastructure projects demonstrate how Afghan citizens benefit from cooperative efforts that prioritize local needs and empower communities to guide their own development.
