Acknowledged
The UK is supportive of funds being released as soon as possible. We have worked consistently with international partners to support the World Bank in unlocking and repurposing existing funding to maintain the provision of basic services in support of the Afghan people. We continue to support the project development process governing the release of funds and identifying suitable ways to ensure our funding supports all Afghans, regardless of gender, ethnicity or religion.
