INFRASTRUCTURE & NATURAL RESOURCES SECTOR
Provision of productive public infrastructure is one of the highest priorities of the Government of Afghanistan. Infrastructure, whether linking major regional trade corridors through a national road network or increasing productivity through small scale irrigation schemes, is a key factor to enhancing the long-term growth potential of the Afghan economy. It is also key to improving the ability of the poor to benefit from and contribute to growth, and therefore reduce poverty. This sector is responsible for managing approximately 45% of the total core development budget.
The Sector ensures these policies and priorities are adequately funded within the allocated fiscal ceiling, and the allocated funds are executed according to the public finance management laws and regulations.
The Infrastructure Sector is responsible for the following line ministries/budgetary units:
Ministry of Energy and Water, Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation, Kabul Municipality, National Environmental Protection Agency, Afghan Geodesy and Cartography Head Office, Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Atomic Energy Commission, Da Afghanistan Brishna Shirkat, Afghan Water Supply and Sewerage Corporation, Ministry of Urban Development, and Dehsabz-Barikab City Development Authority.
