Project Description
Immediate rehabilitation work on RTE Highlife in order to meet the security, governance and economic needs of the populace in Khakrez District.
Project Goals
RTE Highlife serves as a viable Strategic Provincial Road (SPR) used to connect Khakrez District to the Provincial Government of Kandahar as well as economically to Kandahar City. Increased economic activity in Khakrez District Increased popular support for GIRoA at the village and district level. Decreased ability of insurgent forces to operate in Khakrez District Reduced popular perception of government corruption Increased GIRoA activity within Khakrez District Increased capacity of Afghan contractors to maintain transportation infrastructure Increased access to Shah Maqsud Shrine Comments: Insurgent activity along RTE Highlife has deprived freedom of movement to the population of Khakrez, stunted economic growth and eroded popular support for GIRoA. The populace of Khakrez District has openly asked the Governor of Kandahar to address the security situation along RTE Highlife. SOTF-S in conjunction with TF-Strike, 411th CAB and Kandahar Provincial Reconstruction Team begin immediate rehabilitation work on RTE Highlife in order to meet the security, governance and economic needs of the populace in Khakrez District.
