Italy Pledges €2.4 Million to UN Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan

The United Nations Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan announced that the Italian government has contributed €2.4 million to the fund. This aid aims to support the protection of cultural heritage, improve human settlements, and strengthen economic and climate-resilient strategies for local communities.

According to the announcement, the funding is managed through the UN Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan and focuses on projects that help improve living conditions for residents, enhance resilience to climate change, and support sustainable livelihoods.

Afghanistan has faced serious economic, environmental, and urban challenges in recent years. International organizations seek to address some of the urgent and medium-term needs of vulnerable communities through resources like these. The UN Special Trust Fund is a mechanism that channels financial aid from donor countries to specific development and humanitarian projects in Afghanistan.
