Nargis Nehan height - How tall is Nargis Nehan?

Nehan was appointed as acting Minister of Mines, Petroleum and Industries in 2017. She is the second acting minister in this role since the resignation of Daud Shah Saba in 2016.

In 2007, Nehan co-authored a book with Ashraf Ghani Ahmadzai, entitled The Budget as a Linchpin of the State: Lessons from Afghanistan.

Nehan, who holds a master's degree in business administration, was working with the Norwegian Refugee Council following the United States' invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. After that invasion toppled Afghanistan's Taliban regime, the Norwegian aid organization assigned her to return to Kabul to open its office there. Nehan did so and subsequently left the organization to take a series of positions with the Afghan Interim Administration. Since that time, her government positions have included: director general of the Treasury Department at the Ministry of Finance, vice-chancellor for administration and finance at Kabul University, and senior administrative advisory positions to the ministers of education and of higher education. Nehan managed reforms in the Treasury Department at the Ministry of Finance, and coordinated the development of a World Bank-funded, five-year strategic plan for the Ministry of Education.

Like many Afghans of her generation, Nehan was forced to flee Afghanistan as a child (at the age of 12) to escape her country's decades of warfare. Nehan's family fled Kabul during the Afghan Civil War (1992–1996) and Nehan grew up among the millions of Afghan refugees who had settled in Pakistan beginning with the Soviet occupation of their country during the 1980s. In Pakistan, Nehan financed her education by working with international non-government organizations providing help to the Afghan refugee community.
