I think NaSCA should be dissolved. It came into existence after the civil war, which ended 20 years ago. It was justified then as there were no in-country institutions with responsibility for coordination of rehabilitation programs. The presence of district councils and whole ministry responsible for rural development defeats the existence of NaSCA.
