The principal goal of these committees is to strengthen development planning, coordination, monitoring, evaluation, and decision-making at the provincial level. The Ministry of Economy (MoEc) had the lead role in establishing and facilitating PDCs. Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD) provided technical and financial support to MoEc for the pilot project. Understanding the potential of latest technology, the Government of Afghanistan and the stakeholders insisted the development of Provincial Profile and Asset Management system (PP&AMS). The PP&AMS is an application that provides the decision makers and stakeholder with the up to date information about the Provincial Assets and Profile. The project consisted of two parts i.e. feasibility study and building of functional prototype.
