Afghanistan's economy is imploding, with all but three per cent of households expected to fall below the poverty line in coming months, the UN said. The UN Development Programme (UNDP) has announced the launch of a "people's economy" fund, to provide desperately needed access to cash — un — 21 October 2021 (LINK)
The fund will tap into donations frozen since the Taliban takeover in August. Germany has already pledged $58 million of the more than $660 million required over the next 12 months, UNDP chief, Achim Steiner, told journalists in Geneva. Cash in local currency will be provided directly to community groups and to Afghan workers in public works programmes, such as drought and flood control. Grants will also be given to micro-enterprises and a temporary basic income would be paid to the vulnerable elderly and disabled.
