Afghanistan
There is no direct bilateral cooperation with Afghanistan but Luxembourg cooperation is continuing its projects with the PATRIP (Pakistan Afghanistan Tajikistan Regional Integration Programme) foundation. Projects financed by Luxembourg through the foundation are implemented by a local NGO and focus on the areas of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). In 2013, Luxembourg’s contribution has enabled piped water to be supplied and lavatories to be installed in mountainous villages; it has also enabled villagers to be educated in the healthy and effective use of water, especially in terms of informing them of the risks of illnesses linked to non-potable water.
In view of the very precarious current situation in Afghanistan, the other support from Luxembourg is restricted mainly to humanitarian aid and food aid, as well as reconstruction projects implemented by UN agencies.
