Asian Development Bank and Afghanistan: Fact Sheet
Asian Development Bank | April 2011
Abstract
Updated yearly, this ADB Fact Sheet provides social and economic indicators on Afghanistan as well as concise information on ADB's operations in the country and contact information.Afghanistan is a founding member of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), which was established in 1966. ADB has provided Afghanistan with $2.1 billion in loans, grants, guarantees, technical assistance, ADB-administered cofinancing, and private sector investments. The country is ADB’s 18th largest borrower. As a result of ongoing civil conflict, ADB operations in the country were suspended from 1989 to 2002. Significant international engagement with Afghanistan resumed in late 2001. ADB, the World Bank, and the United Nations assisted Afghan authorities in preparing assessments of the country’s critical rehabilitation and development needs.
