| Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Once the ring-road has been rehabilitated, Afghanistan's road infrastructure needs to move from an emergency program to a rehabilitation and reconstruction program. Improvements to the North¿South and East¿West corridors through the central mountain region will provide access to remote communities and to mines, gas fields, and sources of agricultural products, and will open up alternative links to the ring road. The Ministry of Public Works needs to build its capacity for road improvement projects after years of donor support. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
