Talking about the Aid Delivery, Inclusivity & Women, Khandan Danish said socioeconomic well-being is severely worsening, with 28.3 million Afghans living in poverty. She added that the Taliban’s policies such as banning women from working in the humanitarian assistance sector have exacerbated the crisis and affected the humanitarian aid delivery and the quality of the service. She emphasized that an effective mechanism should be developed to accurately evaluate the process and to ensure that the aid delivery and distribution are transparent.
Since the UN has become a key carrier of international assistance to Afghanistan, it is crucial that the UN is held accountable for its expenditures and distribution of aid to people in need.
