NATO and Afghanistan on Wednesday signed a memorandum of cooperation supporting a trust fund project to improve safety and physical security at munitions depots in Afghanistan.
Belgium, Canada and Luxembourg will lead the 6.29-million-euro project which will be implemented over 24 months.
Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Finland, Iceland, Japan, Slovakia, Sweden and Macedonia have pledged funding for this project.
The project aims to enhance the safety and physical security at Afghanistan's two main national munitions depots. It will also provide assistance to the Afghan Defense Ministry in carrying out an assessment which will form the basis of a national action plan for ammunition stockpile management, including the disposal of surplus and unserviceable stocks.
It will review the training needs of the Afghan National Army and the civilian workforce in its depots and provide appropriate training in ammunition logistics and technical duties.
