The government of Afghanistan has expressed strong interest in the potential for the IGC to provide support on the development of the country’s growth policies. The IGC organised a workshop in response to this demand which took place in March 2010 and featured discussions on supply- and demand-side issues in the drug economy, financial and information services, management of mineral resources, land titling, the construction sector, Special Economic Zones, women in the economy, and labour and wage issues.

The IGC looks forward to further discussions with the government of Afghanistan in the months ahead.
