...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
Development Program UNDP and the Global Fund have said that they have paid $8 million for 23,500 health workers in Afghanistan over the past month.
UNDP’s Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific, Kanni Wignaraja has said that someone had to step in and added that they were confronted just with a health system collapsing, but also a financial system that was collapsing.
"Global Fund took the financial risk, we took the implementation risk to make these payments happen. We have shown it’s possible, it can work, it goes a huge long way to save at least the people’s economy in the country." Said Wignaraja.
The payment comes as the UN has been struggling to provide the people of Afghanistan with humanitarian aid who are on the brink of famine so that they prevent the collapse of the economy, health, education services.
In the meantime, UNICEF has announced to be directly funding Afghan teachers across the country.
The total amount of money provided by the Global Fund amounts to $15 million, from the money $8 million were paid for the health workers and the remaining money was allocated for supplying medical equipment and essential drugs.
The health workers were paid in 31 provinces of Afghanistan.
