The Kabul Tribune (KT) — The Taliban’s Department of Rural Rehabilitation and Development in Daikundi said a rural road construction project worth 14.658 million afghanis (about $210,000) has been launched in the province.
According to the department, the project is being implemented with financial support from the United Nations Development Programme and includes the construction of 13.9 kilometers of rural roads in Nili city, the provincial capital, and Shahristan district.
Officials said the initiative is expected to provide temporary employment opportunities for dozens of people over a six-month period.
Rural road development is considered a key component of infrastructure expansion in Afghanistan, aimed at improving economic access and connectivity for local communities.
In mountainous and remote areas, the lack of proper roads has long been a major obstacle to transportation, the movement of goods, and access to healthcare and education services.
In recent years, the United Nations Development Programme and other aid organizations have supported similar projects across the country, focusing on short-term job creation and strengthening rural connectivity.
