Operation and Support Office of the President for National Development (OSOPND):
 

The Operation and Support Office of the President for National Development (OSOPND) was established two years ago (2018) and initially, it was led by Wafi Amin, who came from the US. The office was running construction projects inside the Presidential Palace. Later OSOPND was also given the Darulaman Palace renovation project. It was these two projects that President Ashraf Ghani decided to award to the operational department, and he appointed Wafi Amin as its chairman. The officials of OSOPND said Amin has worked in other government posts including a stint as a presidential adviser before his appointment to head of OSOPND.

There are sources claiming that the Operation and Support Office of the President for National Development (OSOPND) has been awarded more than 800 projects over the past two years but the authority has provided scant or conflicting information about its projects. Officials of the authority said their activities encompass 57 projects and so far they have invested Afs10 billion ($128 million) for current development initiatives. According to information provided by the OSOPND, over the past two years, the authority undertook 835 construction and reconstruction programs under the 57 big projects. From the total, 113 programs have been completed. OSOPND officials said that so far they have saved Afs3 billion through “proper” planning. Other big projects under the OSOPND include the construction of Machalgho Dam, construction of 100 buildings for mosques and prayer houses, a construction project in Pul-e-Charkhi prison, a project at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, and the construction of buildings for hostels in 10 provinces of the country.
 

Private firms still need to wait for a year to be informed about their eligibility in the bidding process for securing the contracts, while the Operation and Support Office of the President for National Development (OSOPND) "easily gets the contracts." Abdul Naseer Latifi has been associated with the construction sector for 20 years. But his company is now in decline. For several years Latifi, alongside his 20 professional colleagues, has managed to complete more than 70 projects successfully.

Nimroz residents said the president has not fulfilled the commitments he made in his previous trip to the province. “Our 100-bed hospital has been left unconstructed for the last five years. It has been taken by the OSOPND (Operations and Support Office of the President for National Development) but it has not been started yet,” said Baz Mohammad Nasir, head of Nimroz Provincial Council.(20200727)
