The Kabul Urban Reconstruction Project (US$25 million Credit): The Kabul Urban Reconstruction Project (US$25 million Credit) is supporting reconstruction and rehabilitation in 45 of Kabul’s most vulnerable neighborhoods where the majority of the urban poor live in informal settlements. The objective is to assist approximately 250,000 residents in gaining access to basic services such as water, sanitation, and solid waste management, and in obtaining secure land tenure. It will help to mend the urban fabric of this important city that is struggling to accommodate thousands of returnees. Building capacity in both the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing and Kabul Municipality are critical components of the project.
