Afghan First Methodology for Mondo Group, Inc.

Mondo Group, Inc. aligns with the US Government’s Afghan First policy in procuring local goods and services in the delivery of mission critical resources to the region.

(I-Newswire) July 19, 2010 - WASHINGTON, DC, -- As the US Government continues to expand and refocus its efforts in Afghanistan, U.S. Department of Defense contractor, Mondo Group Inc., believes their Afghan First methodology and infrastructure will play a decisive role in the success of Afghanistan.

Afghan First is a US Government policy that refers to employing Afghan contractors for all aspects of projects and ensuring they are building to international standards. Mondo Group has aligned itself with the United States Afghan First provision since its inception. “Our company has built its foundation with in-country Afghan contractors with local knowledge of the cultures, customs and terrain of the region. Our established relationships with well connected, trustworthy partners help both our Government, as well as, the people of Afghanistan,” says Tommy Hakimi, CEO of Mondo Group. Inc.

Mondo Group, Inc. is a US-based, globally oriented logistics and supply chain management contractor. It sources and delivers mission critical equipment, material and personnel in areas where political strife, social instability and infrastructure deficiencies make supply operations difficult and vulnerable to hostile actions. Mondo Group’s core capabilities include providing global sourcing, procurement, transportation, storage, program management and staffing.

Mondo Group believes this methodology will prove extremely valuable in the long-term sustainability in Afghanistan by generating a consistent flow of revenue that stays within the country. “Helping Afghans help themselves is an essential element in the re-building and stabilization of the region. We are preparing a generation to be self-sufficient, which increases the economic stability and security in Afghanistan,” says Hakimi.

The company believes local procurement of goods and services will not only spark economic growth and employment, but also increase the human capital and resources in the region. “Our experience shows us that the supply chain will become much shorter, the cost much less and local, on-the-ground capability much higher,” says Hakimi. Afghan First seeks to expand the industrial, commercial and agricultural bases in Afghanistan as well as provide valuable resources for the United States Government and this mission in Afghanistan. The company believes the alignment and shared goals between the US Government’s Afghan First policy and Mondo’s similar methodology, holds great promise for success in Afghanistan.
