Hugh Bayley, the commissioner of the Independent Commission for Aid Impact (ICAI), said the UK should consider restoring its diplomatic presence in Afghanistan.

Bayley, who visited Kabul in May, expressed that this action will support Afghan women and help monitor the impact of British aid. 

According to the Guardian, Hugh Bayley said that although the UK government has a target for 50% of its aid to reach women, “it is impossible in the case of Afghanistan without a presence on the ground to know if the target is being met."
Bayley said that he had been told the absence of diplomatic missions made it harder for international NGOs.

"Bayley added that he had been told the absence of diplomatic missions made it harder for international NGOs because they were identified as the voices of the western world,” the news report said.

Mohammad Nabi, an Afghan economic expert, said: "Most of the time, the organizations providing aid are worried. The good thing is that they should come and jointly create a strategy with the government to alleviate donor concerns regarding aid."

The World Food Programme (WFP) said it has assisted nine million people in the first five months of this year.

Ziauddin Safi, the communications officer for the World Food Programme, said: "The WFP unfortunately operates in a situation where more than twelve million people, or more than one-quarter of Afghanistan's population, are hungry. However, due to budget constraints, we are only able to assist one million people, leaving eleven million people to go to bed hungry every night."

The Ministry of Economy says it is working to solve the country's economic challenges by starting regional projects and creating more job opportunities for the country's citizens.

Abdul Latif Nazari, the professional deputy of the Ministry of Economy, said: "Regional projects like CASA-1000 and TAPI should be pursued practically. We are also working to restart job-creating projects and projects that can play a significant role in reducing poverty and strengthening family economies. Incomplete projects should be resumed in cooperation with the World Bank."

Since the Islamic Emirate regained control of the country, over three billion dollars in aid has been provided to Afghanistan. However, this aid has not yet been able to solve the economic challenges faced by the country's citizens.
