The Foundation's work in Afghanistan focuses in particular on the exchange of ideas and discussion on the following topics: youth and politics, political participation of women and gender mainstreaming, conflict transformation and reconciliation, media and freedom of speech, strengthening civil society, parliamentary and provincal council and political party cooperation. more

Social Justice and Inclusion

Peace and Security

Empowering the Next Generation

Regional Cooperation

For centuries, Afghanistan had been at the center of cultural exchange between Asia, Europe and the Middle East. Today, it remains closely linked to developments in its immediate and wider neighborhood, not only through transnational security and migration challenges. More
