CEO Abdullah Abdullah on Saturday asked Promote management to strengthen monitoring and reporting procedures to government regarding the implementation of their projects.

Abdullah made the remarks at a ceremony in Kabul that marked the launch of the National Teacher Preparedness Training Program which is part of the USAID-funded Promote program.

A day after CEO Abdullah Abdullah said an agreement had been reached on the use of a biometric system in elections, the Independent Election Commission (IEC) said it is working on the issue and has been dealing with a German company.

“The issue which is being worked on is the use of a biometric system on October 20 (Election Day). Our assessments have been completed by up to 70 percent, but there are still questions in this regard. We hope that we can find answers for them,” said Hafizullah Hashemi, the IEC spokesman.
