Hundreds Of Development Projects Remain In Limbo A probe by TOLOnews has found that hundreds of development projects are not being implemented each year and dozens more have either ground to a halt or are moving forward at a snail’s pace. According to the report, 4,800 development projects were included in this year’s national budget and of these, 400 are still being assessed by the ministry of economy and have yet to be approved by the National Procurement Commission – which falls under the National Procurement Authority. The 4,800 projects were included in the first draft of the national budget – which was rejected by the Wolesi Jirga (Lower House of Parliament).
