    MAZAR-E-SHARIF, Afghanistan – Recently, Afghan officials, international aid members and ISAF conducted a series of meetings at Camp Marmal, Mazar-e-Sharif, to provide advice to Afghan officials about options available to them for conducting development projects in northern Afghanistan.

    The goal of the meeting was to advise Afghan officials about the many options and ways to receive aid from different non-governmental and governmental organizations.

    Representatives of various agencies took turns talking about how they could assist with projects. In attendance were Bundesministerium fur Wirtschaftliche Zusammensarbeit und Entwicklung, also known as BMZ, and USAID, who along with ISAF, discussed many of the different projects that they were working on, such as roads, technical schools and storage facilities.

    “What we are looking for is that coordination. The goal is to work together with Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan,” said Kerry A. Powell, Director of the ISAF Joint Command’s Commander’s Emergency Response Program.
