Iran to Cooperate with Afghanistan in Training Rural Women

The Iranian Agricultural Jihad Ministry in cooperation with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is due to train rural Afghan women to reduce their poverty and improve their economic conditions.

The issue was raised in a meeting with Iranian officials and the JICA authorities in Tehran on Saturday, during which the Iranian side announced readiness to provide Afghan women with successful experiences of Iranian rural women.

During the meeting, it was also decided that the Iranian agricultural Jihad ministry will hold a one-week training course for Afghan female officials and experts to inform them on governmental mechanism for reducing poverty among poor women, Iran’s successful projects, Iran’s policies and scientific experiences, strengthening the ministries and creating a network between the two countries’ governmental employees.

Iran is one of the most important donors to Afghanistan which has kept its promises to help to the reconstruction of the war-hit country.

Iran has also built some roads, power transmission lines, and border stations, among the other infrastructure projects which would better link the two nations.
