15 December 2009 | Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan

On November 18, Afghan officials, international donors, and community leaders came together to launch a USAID-funded industrial park project that will help attract investment to Nangarhar province. The park will expand economic opportunities for 50,000 local residents, create more than 10,000 jobs, and will eventually host more than 300 light industry businesses. Many of these jobs will be filled over the next two years, during the construction of the park.

The November 18 event marked completion of the park's main access road, which USAID constructed. In attendance were representatives of the provincial and district governments, USAID, as well as project co-sponsors the World Bank and the Afghan Investment Support Agency (AISA). "Without USAID support, it would be impossible for AISA and the Afghan government to implement such projects,” said the AISA deputy director.
