Economy Ministry Denies Interfering in Int'l Aid

The Ministry of Economy has denied the Islamic Emirate's interference in the process of humanitarian aid delivery in Afghanistan and emphasized that such aid is provided directly.

Abdul Rahman Habib, spokesperson for the ministry, stated that the Islamic Emirate is working to create greater facilities for aid organizations.

"International humanitarian organizations have, from the beginning until now, provided assistance directly through offices related to the United Nations and without the interference of Emirate authorities, both via domestic and foreign NGOs. We are working to stimulate the economy and reduce poverty by offering more facilities to these organizations,” said the spokesperson.

These remarks come as the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) earlier reported that 164 cases of interference in the humanitarian aid process were recorded in Afghanistan in November of this year.

According to the report, 99% of these interferences were carried out by Islamic Emirate officials, mainly concentrated in southern, central highland, and western regions.

OCHA also announced that these restrictions suspended 72 humanitarian projects and led to the permanent halt of two projects.

"A total of 164 access incidents were documented, representing an 11% increase compared to the same period last year and a 56% increase compared to the previous month,” the report said.

Some economic experts said that an agreement between the Islamic Emirate and international aid organizations could mitigate the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.

"If foreign organizations like OCHA and other bodies can reach an agreement with the Islamic Emirate to prevent the humanitarian crisis, especially during the winter season, it would yield positive results," said economic expert Sair Quraishi.

Economic expert Abdul Naseer Rashtiya emphasized the importance of coordination between aid organizations and the government, adding: "If these efforts are coordinated with the Afghan government and the projects align with the government's strategic plan, it will create employment opportunities and enhance the effectiveness of aid."

According to information from the Ministry of Economy, 2,477 non-governmental organizations are currently active in Afghanistan, including 2,199 domestic organizations and 278 foreign ones.
