After more than two decades of conflict, the Reconstruction of Afghanistan has begun, though it continues to be hampered by continuing conflict.
There are more than 14,000 reconstruction projects under way in Afghanistan, such as the Kajaki Dam.

The World Bank contribution is the multilateral Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF), which was set up in May 2002. It is financed by 24 international donor countries and has spent more than $1.37 billion US dollars as of 2007.

In February 2006, $10.5 billion US dollars were committed for Afghanistan at the London Conference [ [http://www.irinnews.org/report.asp?ReportID=51510&SelectRegion=Asia&SelectCountry=AFGHANISTAN "Government to have greater control over aid pledged in London"] , irinnews.org.] and $11 billion from the United States in early 2007.
