On 18 November, the Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH) launched a settlement programme in Afghanistan which includes the construction of housing that meets required standards. Onno Ruhl, General Manager of the AKAH said that the programme will help promote standard dwellings for returnees and help those living in remote regions to find shelter. In Afghanistan, the AKAH engages with communities living in remote mountainous areas to increase their resilience to natural disasters and complex emergencies. The AKAH also supports communities to utilise an enabling habitat to enhance their health, education and economic development.
