Community Development Councils (CDC)

The National Solidarity Program or NSP was created by the Afghan Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development or MRRD in 2003. The NSP assisted in the development of Community Development Councils (CDCs) to implement the development projects. The CDCs were set up in villages across Afghanistan and funded to implement the infrastructure or agriculture projects the villages needed most.

Funding. Money to run the CDCs is provided by the World Bank, the Aga Khan Foundation, USAID, and the Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund.
