Humanitarian Aid Cannot Be Used To Patch Up Afghanistan S Economy Un

Paula Bronstein. | News Getty Images | Getty Images Humanitarian aid to Afghanistan is not enough to support its economy and more investment is needed to support the country’s development, according to the United Nations. “You cannot use humanitarian aid to fix an economy that has completely collapsed,” said Kani Uignaraya, assistant secretary-general and regional director for Asia and the Pacific at the United Nations Development Programme. The Taliban seized control of the Afghan capital Kabul in August last year, after US troops withdrew from the country after nearly two decades of war. Wignaraja said the “massive humanitarian operation” that took place in the second half of last year after the Taliban overthrew Afghanistan’s government was “very necessary to save lives”. But it is wrong to suspend investments for the reconstruction and development of the country, he said. A lack of investment from the private sector and development agencies is exacerbating the country’s humanitarian crisis and battered economy, Wignaraja added. He said investment is needed to revitalize Afghanistan’s economy and its domestic market, as small and micro businesses have created employment opportunities for men and women in the country for decades. “A big part of the UN and UNDP effort is [to] start the local business sector and get it moving because Afghans will feed Afghans. They will produce their own food,” he told CNBC’s “Squawk Box Asia” on Tuesday. Others, such as the Red Cross, have also pointed out that humanitarian work alone is not enough to help Afghanistan out of its economic ruin. “Humanitarian organizations alone cannot replace the public institutions of a country of 40 million people,” Robert Mardini, Director-General of the International Committee of the Red Cross, told Reuters on Monday. “So we really urge states and development agencies to return to Afghanistan to support Afghans who continue to bear the brunt of the economic turmoil.” Government and development agencies remain reluctant to provide funds to Afghanistan unless the Taliban keeps its “end of the bargain” – allowing girls to finish high school, creating jobs for women in the workplace and becoming a government more free exclusions, Wignaraja said. Afghanistan is “the only country in the world” where girls cannot complete high school, she said. “Women’s dignity and rights” were taken away when their right to work was denied, and it is estimated to cost the Afghan economy billions of dollars in losses, he added. More than 6,000 American lives have been lost, and more than 100,000 Afghans have been killed, during the 20-year conflict, and the US has spent more than $2 trillion in Afghanistan.
