food processing, healthcare and beauty parlour.
She said the project would be implemented at a cost of 21 million afghanis
($433,258), with each province getting seven million afghanis for training
330 disabled people.
Annually, the ministry will provide job opportunities or 15,000 eligible
special people, who undergo similar trainings.
Meanwhile, Ministry of Water and Energy officials said two water
management projects, which would irrigate about 15,000 hectares of
farmland, would be implemented in the northern provinces of Balkh and
Jawzjan.
The projects included improvement of seven canals and construction of
new bridges in nine districts of the two provinces, said the acting water
and energy minister, Mohammad Ismail Khan, after signing an agreement
