KABUL, Afghanistan (Jan. 16) - The Italian-led Herat Provincial Reconstruction Team recently assisted in the construction of a press building for the Herat government.
The European Union paid for the exterior of the building while the Italian Ministry of Defense, through the PRT, funded the remainder of the project.
The PRT also purchased a new video surveillance and lighting system for the governor's compound to increase its security.
The PRT used Afghan workers for all the projects.
After the inauguration ceremony for the building, the PRT donated two armoured jackets and two lap-top computers to the government of Herat.
The governor expressed his appreciation for the support from the Italian contingent and underlined the joint effort to improve the stability, development and reconstruction in the area.
