The fund has been frozen and the alliance has worked to come up with a mechanism for transferring the money back to individual nations or moving it somewhere else, but it is up to each donor nation to decide how to use the money.The Afghan National Army Trust Fund is one of a number of such efforts aimed at helping Afghanistan that have been frozen, shut down or repurposed since the fall of Kabul.The main vehicle for a place to park the money formerly earmarked for Afghanistan is NATO’s Ukraine Comprehensive Assistance Package, which was established in 2016 in the wake of Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea.The account provides money for everything from humanitarian and infrastructure projects to non-lethal military aid and has become the mechanism through which the alliance assists Ukraine.At last month's NATO foreign minister meeting in Romania, Germany and Norway “made further commitments” to Ukraine, Lungescu added, “and more are expected to follow suit.” Norway — which has donated $30 million to the Ukraine fund so far — is set to take over management of the Afghan fund in January, mostly as a bureaucratic exercise to close it out and help oversee the return of the money to individual nations."
