Development Assistance

As a country with a long history of contributing foreign aid, Norway has been involved in humanitarian aid in Afghanistan for the past thirty years. Up until the fall of Taliban in 2001, this support was channelled through the UN, the Afghanistan Support Group and through various NGOs. Today, the Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund, ARTF, is an important channel for Norwegian funds. Also, the three most important Norwegian NGOs in Afghanistan are vital.
