In a session chaired by Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar Akhund, the National Procurement Directorate approved contracts for 27 significant projects valued at approximately 5 billion Afghanis.

The meeting, held at Marmarin Palace, reviewed a total of 47 projects. Of these, 27 contracts were approved, eight projects saw amendments, and four projects were canceled.

Among the key initiatives that received approval were the reconstruction of Sultan Dam in Ghazni, the construction of the second block of the Housing Scheme in Kabul, and the building of appeals court structures in Logar and Kandahar. Additionally, several internal roads in Kabul will be developed, and electrical equipment will be provided to various provinces. These projects, funded by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, are part of a broader effort to strengthen the country’s infrastructure.

In addition to the approved projects, committees were formed to renegotiate the pricing of eight other projects with the winning companies. These committees are expected to submit their findings and reports to the leadership of the National Procurement Commission. This ongoing process demonstrates the government's commitment to ensuring the best value for its investments and addressing any issues that may arise during project implementation. (ILKHA)
