KABUL, Afghanistan (Dec. 9) – Recently, Afghan officials, international aid members and International Security Assistance Forces conducted a series of meetings at Camp Marmal, Mazar-e Sharif, to provide advice to Afghan officials about conducting development projects in northern Afghanistan.

The goal of the meetings 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 U.S. Agency for International Development, who along with ISAF, discussed many of the different projects they were working on, such as roads, technical schools and storage facilities.

“What we are looking for is ... 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.
