Promise Background
Afghanistan's highways are vital economic and personal transport links that have been plagued with insecurity, abductions and high casualty incidents. Securing Afghanistan's highways was one of the main priorities of the President Ghani, as outlined in his Manifesto of Continuity and Change.

Indicators to Measure Progress
  • 1. Highway security policies reformed and implemented
  • 2. Reduced number of attacks on highways compared to previous year
  • 3. Reduced number of abductions and causalities on highways compared to the previous year

Status Details:
