Resources Corridors<br />
Program<br />
This program focuses on developing the critical<br />
infrastructure needed to reap benefits directly<br />
from development of <strong>Afghanistan</strong>’s mineral<br />
resources and indirectly from increased trade<br />
flows and labor mobility. Its purpose is to connect<br />
<strong>Afghanistan</strong> to the region and to the rest<br />
of the world through the promotion of interstate<br />
resource corridors. The resource corridor<br />

Program<br />
This program is to develop a National Energy<br />
Policy and Road Map, increase sector commercialization<br />
and national generation capacity,<br />
and integrate rural electrification and other<br />
generation schemes. The program envisages<br />
a comprehensive program of sequenced investments<br />
in power supply chain (generation,<br />
transmission and distribution) coupled with<br />
sector reforms to strengthen governance, private<br />
sector participation, capacity development<br />
and accountability. It is aiming at providing<br />
energy security through affordable and<br />
sustainable supply of energy.<br />
This program strengthens urban planning to<br />
support development of the private sector. Effective<br />
integration of land use planning and<br />
transportation planning is critical especially in<br />
support of extractive industry and resource<br />
corridor hubs. The goal of this program is to<br />
strengthen urban governance.<br />
