KABUL: The United Arab Emirates’ aid agency has signed a $3 million agreement with the United Nations to build permanent homes for 2,950 Afghan returnees in Afghanistan.
The agency said the homes will be constructed in Kabul, Herat and Kunduz provinces and designed to withstand the effects of climate change.
The agreement was announced during AidEx 2026, an international conference on humanitarian aid and disaster preparedness held in Geneva on October 21–22, as part of cooperation with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
