KABUL: Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani has opened a conference of donors to his country's reconstruction after almost 40 years of war, telling them he has made progress on a range of major challengers including security and corruption. The Senior Officials Meeting is a gathering of delegates from the international community, including non-government organizations that support Afghanistan's economic, security and social reconstruction. Ghani told the meeting Saturday his government has accelerated a crackdown on both corruption and the culture of criminal impunity, reformed customs to significantly increase revenue collection and boosted capacity building. He acknowledged a problem with job creation but said it was a 'priority of the national unity government.' He noted he has also sought to bring women into senior government positions, including four ministers and one provincial governor.
