UNITED NATIONS, Jan 28 (NNN-XINHUA) – The UN team in Afghanistan, launched a 3.6-billion U.S. dollar-plan, to help reduce new-found suffering and save lives, a UN spokesman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The overarching One-UN Transitional Engagement Framework, aims to help the Afghan people meet their basic human needs, said Stephane Dujarric, chief spokesman for UN Secretary-General. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The funding is in addition to the 4.4-billion U.S. dollar-Humanitarian Response Plan, the United Nations announced on Jan 11, saying, it needed to aid 22.1 million afghans this year, Dujarric said. “It just shows … the increased needs that we see in Afghanistan, as we gain access to more regions.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UN team is working to reduce the suffering of the Afghan people by saving lives, sustaining essential services and preserving basic community systems, he said. “The framework is a way of better managing the resources that we will get and better managing the implementation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The framework calls for additional funding “to sustain essential social services, such as health and education; support community systems through maintenance of basic infrastructure … and promotion of livelihoods and social cohesion, with specific emphasis on socio-economic needs of women and girls.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Afghans suffer from a hobbled agricultural economy, sanctions throttling financial liquidity and now, severe winter weather, following the Aug 15, 2021, Taliban takeover of the war-torn country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last month, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a humanitarian exemption to a 1988 sanctions regime. It said, humanitarian assistance for basic human needs in Afghanistan is not a violation of the sanctions.– NNN-XINHUA <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
