As withdrawal of US and international forces draws near, concern over Afghanistan’s economic development post 2014 is being expressed in some social media circles. Although this may be a concern, the future economic outlook does not look as bleak as some might describe it. Organizations such as USAID, for example, have been involved over a decade in Afghanistan to help the country move forward toward a more stable, secure and prosperous future. They will continue this partnership to ensure the country will never be a safe haven for terrorists. The focus will be to further develop the agriculture and private sectors and the maintenance of the much-needed infrastructure. USAID has stated, “In Afghanistan, even as our troops come home, we continue to invest in the nation’s long-term development, ensuring the gains we’ve made over the last decade are lasting and meaningful.”
