Continuation of such a situation badly affected the life, economy, health, education of many families.
The problem of Afghanistan is not only the existence of 400000 inner displaced and 700000 repatriates. The formal interior and foreign sources have said that about nine million people are suffering from long term economic and security problems and assisting these vulnerable people is a part of the priorities of Afghan government.
Governmental sources, economists and the activists of civil society say if Afghan government received that fund, it can fight successfully the problems.
Meanwhile, the economists and civil society activists insist that Afghan government should have comprehensive and transparent programs and explain them to international community and donor countries and should assure the world community that the aids will reached the deserved people and the Afghan government will act with high responsibility in that regard . Because the donor countries in their part insist that they would fund only the projects that carry their duties effectively with high transparency. This matter has clearly echoed in statements of German ambassador. Therefore it would be necessary, the Afghan government and donor organizations should deeply focus on transparency of their activities to meet the expectations of the people.
