Challenges in Securing Funding for Greenhouses in Kabul: A Timeline of Efforts

This report outlines the ongoing challenges in securing funding for two greenhouses in Kabul. Key actions from December include a suggestion to hire a grant writer, unsuccessful attempts to communicate with the Director General (DG), and a reported lack of motivation from the DG concerning funding opportunities. Despite efforts by TF Centurion to network and find a qualified grant writer, minimal response from the DG raises concerns about the commitment to the greenhouse project. Guidance from the Commander is sought to determine the next steps regarding the DG's engagement.
