Thousands of families would benefit from the development projects funded by the government of Japan in the eastern province of Nangarhar, officials said on Sunday.
A contract for the projects was signed on Sunday in Kabul between Independent Directorate of Local Governance (IDLG) head Abdul Khaliq Farahi and UNOPS chief.
Under the contract, projects including health clinics, schools and road gravelling will be implemented by the end of 2014 at a cost of $13 million.
The schemes would be executed in Surkhrod and Behsud districts of Nangarhar, IDLG spokesman Tawab Ghorzang told Pajhwok Afghan News.
While thanking the Japanese government for assistance, he said the projects would provide facilities for residents of the two districts. Japan has so far spent $21 million under the supervision of IDLG in the country.
