Established in December 2010, the Afghanistan Infrastructure Trust Fund or AITF, provided an opportunity for bilateral, multilateral, and individual contributors to partner with ADB in financing infrastructure investments and improving the livelihood of the Afghan people.

ADB’s regular assistance to Afghanistan has been on hold since 15 August 2021, but the bank has supported the basic needs of the Afghan people since 2022 through a special arrangement with United Nations agencies.

The United States first contributed to the fund in 2013 and provided annual replenishments from 2015 to 2017.
