Listserve for Jobs for Afghans, http://jobsforafghans.org/

Advocating for a great increase in cash-for-work programs in Afghanistan as an alternative to wider war driven by poverty. Cash-for-work programs have already made a big difference in some communities in Afghanistan, including in Jawzjan Province, Uruzgan, and Balkh Province. The work would include basic infrastructure improvement like clearing canals, clearing irrigation waterways, building stone wall boundaries, and basic improvements of unsurfaced roads.

The aim of cash-for-work programs, which have also been piloted in many other countries, is to put hard cash into the hands of workers at the end of a day of labor. They are easy to monitor, since little capital equipment is required besides hand-tools, and one can easily count heads at a worksite to see if the money is being spent properly. Afghanistan doesn't need more war. It needs jobs and reconstruction.
