Introduction
At the end of 2021, Luxembourg was able to contribute to a health project set up by the Aga Kahn Foundation (AKF). The project consists of providing medical assistance to vulnerable people – mainly women, children and the elderly – and to prisoners, in the provinces of Badakhshan, Takhar and Baghlan.

Luxembourg’s contribution will mainly be used to guarantee the wages of workers in the health sector, as well as the supply of basic medical equipment to hospitals and health care centres. The sum invested is EUR 536 139 until 28 February 2023.
The AKF project was tailor-made for Luxembourg Development Cooperation, with the support of the PATRIP Foundation, Luxembourg’s long-term German partner for Afghanistan. This project is part of a larger project, which aims to prevent the collapse of the Afghan health system.
Given the political situation, Luxembourg and its German partner are studying development proposals and proposals for basic services in the medium term for the Afghan people without involving any element of Afghan government.
The project is taking place in Afghanistan only.
