Taliban Shares Comprehensive Plan to Manage Begging with International Organizations

The Taliban administration, through the Economic Prime Minister’s office, has shared a comprehensive plan to manage the phenomenon of begging with representatives of international organizations and aid agencies in Afghanistan. The plan was discussed in a meeting held on Wednesday, chaired by the Public Relations Department of the Economic Deputy of the Taliban administration.

During the meeting, sustainable strategies to reduce begging and the Taliban administration’s efforts in this regard were reviewed. According to the Economic Deputy, the plan emphasizes the use of vocational training, conditional cash assistance, and economic empowerment of vulnerable individuals as methods to decrease begging and provide them with a dignified livelihood.

Representatives of international organizations and aid institutions present at the meeting welcomed the proposed plan. However, the real impact of this plan on actually reducing begging and improving the economic conditions of vulnerable groups requires more independent and detailed evaluation.
