According to this concept, we were assigned to formulate a plan for Agricultural Rehabilitation Program aiming to improve farmersf life in Kandahar area. Then the most urgent projects were chosen from that program, and implemented.

These projects were implemented in a very short period, showing the role of Japanfs ODA activities widely.
