Afghan Ministry of Water and Power

Afghan Ministry of Water and Power is an organ of the government of Afghanistan. Following the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan the ministry had the task of co-ordinating an effort to reintroduce power to areas of Afghanistan that had been cut off. Areas particularly badly affected were southern regions - Pakistan [http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=story_16-3-2003_pg5_11] , Iran and India [http://www.afgha.com/?af=article&sid=14384] all agreed to supply power. On 17 June 2003 the Asian Development Bank agreed to give a loan of $50 million (USD) to the Afghan Water and Power Ministry. The loan would be spent over the next three years on projects for the production, distribution and transmission of electricity in Afghanistan.
