Kabul / Manila / Washington – The 31 donors of the currently frozen trust fund Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF) agreed on Friday (local time) on the transfer of 280 million dollars (248.38 million euros) for two aid organizations in Afghanistan. As announced by the World Bank as the administrator of the ARTF, the money should, as expected, go to the World Food Program (WFP) and Unicef. Loans for a Philippine reform program were also approved. In a resolution, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) cleared the way for further loans to be paid out to economically troubled Chad.
