What economic alternatives to drug production might be found for Afghanistan? Can the international community help the government of Afghanistan address this problem?

What will be an ideal response?


The climatic conditions limit the possibilities for agriculture—especially export-oriented production. To provide alternative means of employment—beyond the production of, say, opium, other forms of assistance are required, including an expansion of educational opportunities. Investment in basic infrastructure will also be required; all of these will require substantial sums of money. As part of its "war on terror" the international community can help through the provision of investment and infrastructure.
