  • From Transition to Transformation - Women, Peace & Security
    From Transition to Transformation - Women, Peace & Security By Abdullah Athayi “We, the women are so concerned of the post 2014 exit strategy however I am sure that international community never leaves us alone though they may decrease their military support but we are concerned of the security situation which will become worse… we may witness an increase in suicide attacks and fighting post 2014.1” (Female MP, 2012) Since December 2014, Afghanistan has shifted from the internationally led period of “Transition” (2001-2014) to an Afghan-led “Transformation Decade” (2015-2024). During the Transition, with support from the international community, Afghans sought to rebuild the bases of political-, security-, economic and societal institutions, rebuild infrastructure, and restore and protect women’s rights. The Transformation Decade seeks to consolidate the outcomes of Transition and ensure that Afghanistan achieves the goal of functional and democratic governance with rule of law, women and human rights protection, economic independence, and social stability. Over the course of the 14 years since the Taliban downfall in 2001, Afghan women have made inroads and are playing a major role in institution and peace building processes. They have been contributing in various fields of peace and security, governance, conflict management, education and service delivery at the national, sub-national and local levels. Women have had a long journey in terms of their rights and socio-political participation. As the transition period ends and Afghanistan is entering into the new Transformation Decade, the main questions related to women, peace and security remain: What has been built to ensure women’s protection and participation over the last decade? And what strategic approach could consolidate gender equality in the decade to come? This article analyses women’s achievements and gaps in the areas of peace and security over the last decade.

  • UNODC in West and Central Asia. Newsletter Quarterly, Vol 1, June – September 2015
    in partnership with UNODC in West and Central Asia. Newsletter Quarterly, Vol 1, June – September 2015. This Newsletter provides information about key UNODC actions, events and partnerships in the region of West and Central Asia (Afghanistan, (I.R. of) Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan). The UNODC strategy for West and Central Asia maximizes synergies with existing programmes in the region, primarily the Country Partnership Programme for (I.R. of) Iran, the Country Programmes for Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Programme for Central Asia and the Regional Programme for Afghanistan and Neighbouring Countries. This approach enables an integrated and concerted “one-UNODC” response in West and Central Asia focusing on Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice and Legal Cooperation, and Social and Health Aspects, and therefore supports national and regional efforts deployed for international peace, stability and development. UNODC is also promoting the drug control and cooperation platform set-up through the Inter-Regional Drug Control Approach and ensures effective linkages with other UNODC Regional Programmes operating in regions affected by Afghan opiates traffic including the trafficking of precursors, notably along the Balkan, Northern and Southern routes. SPECIAL COLUMN The recently released Afghan Opium Survey indicates that the total area under opium poppy cultivation in Afghanistan estimates to be 183,000 hectares (163,000 - 202,000) in 2015, which represents a 19% decrease from 2014. The area under opium poppy cultivation has decreased for the first time since 2009, and is at its fourth highest level since the beginning of estimations in 1994; higher levels have been estimated in 2007, 2013 and 2014.

The United Nation Organization’s 70th birthday on October 24th was a chance to recognize the scope and extent the UN contributes day to day to peace, development, humanitarian issues and human rights as well as a chance to put emphasis on the fact that a more coherent UN is a stronger UN and that we should pledge to work together to make a greater difference to the world.
