On 9th February, Matt Reed featured on the French international news network France24 to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan along with fellow experts.
During the programme, Matt made the case to open up international funding channels into the country as soon as possible so that organisations like AKF can deliver humanitarian response programmes and continue to support Afghan people through development activities.
“It’s absolutely possible that money sent to Afghanistan doesn’t have to be channelled through the state,” he says, “Our organisation – the Aga Khan Development Network – has for a long time managed large public healthcare programmes on behalf of the government, so it is certainly possible.”
