The a to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit The A to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance 2nd Edition, August 2003 Writer: Shawna Wakefield Editor: Christina Bennett, Kathleen Campbell With special thanks to: Kristen Krayer, Nellika Little, Mir Ahmad Joyenda Cover illustration: Parniyan Design and Printing: The Army Press © 2003 The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU). All rights reserved. Preface This is the second edition of The A to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance. Our first edition was brought out one year ago at a time of great change in Afghanistan. At that time, coordination mechanisms and aid processes were changing so fast that old hands and new arrivals alike were sometimes overwhelmed by the multiplicity of acronyms and references to structures and entities that had been recently created, abolished or re-named. Eighteen months after the fall of the Taliban and the signing of the Bonn Agreement, there are still rapid new developments, a growing complexity to the reconstruction effort and to planning processes and, of course, new acronyms! Our aim therefore remains to provide a guide to the terms, structures, mechanisms and coordinating bodies critical to the Afghanistan relief and reconstruction effort to help ensure a shared vocabulary and common understanding of the forces at play. We’ve also included maps and a contact directory to make navigating the assistance community easier. This 2nd edition also includes a section called “Resources,” containing information on such things as media organisations, security information, and Afghanistan-related web sites. Another new addition is a guide to the Afghan government. As the objective of so many assistance agencies is to support and strengthen government institutions, we felt that understanding how the Afghan government is structured is important to working in the current environment. We hope you find these new additions useful. We may have overlooked certain entries, and inevitably some of the facts will have already changed by the time we go to print. For this reason, we intend for this guide to remain a “live document.” Resources permitting, AREU intends to update The A to Z Guide periodically in printed form and on a more regular basis on the AREU web site at www.areu.org.pk. We therefore encourage you to contact AREU with any additions, corrections and suggestions. Please send all comments to areu.org.pk. Finally, AREU would like to thank the governments of Sweden and Switzerland and the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for the support that has made publications like this A to Z Guide possible. Andrew Wilder Director Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU) August 2003 iii CONTACTS Blank Contact Directory This contact directory provides a list of street addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses for the assistance community, government and foreign embassies in Afghanistan. You will also find a version of this directory on our web site at www.areu.org.pk. To the best of our knowledge, the information in this directory is accurate as of July 2003. However, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail contacts are constantly changing as organisations re-locate, expand and test different communications systems. We have included information on field offices in each province when it was provided, but this information is far from complete. Because we rely on the voluntary contributions of organisations to keep this list comprehensive, accurate and up- to-date, we urge you to send any additions or changes to [email protected]. All addresses are in Afghanistan, except for the last section, which, as indicated, lists contact information of Afghan-related offices in Pakistan. Please also refer to the map section of this guide for locations of UN agencies, embassies, government offices and NGOs. Please note that telephone numbers marked “Phone” refer to either the digital phone network installed in 2000-2001, or to the local, analogue land line system. Analogue service is inconsistent, and callers using local phones can generally only call other local numbers. The digital numbers are more reliable and can be reached by other networks by dialing the prefix “20” before the number. “Satellite” refers to the various satellite services available, including the Thuraya satellite network in Afghanistan. “Mobile” refers to the GSM system of the Afghanistan Wireless Communications Company (AWCC). Contact information is provided by province (e.g. Kabul, Herat, Wardak), and then within each province by type of organisation (e.g. donors, NGOs, UN). 123 Kabul Province DONORS German Development Cooperation (Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau) (KfW) Canadian International Development Hs. 386, St. 15, Wazir Akbar Khan, Kabul Agency (CIDA) [email protected] Canada Programme Support Office (CPSO) Phone: +93 (0) 20 230-0387/0391, Hs. 543 (on right hand side), Ln. 2, St. 15 +93 (0) 20 290-171 Wazir Akbar Khan, Kabul Mobile: +93 (0) 70 274-456/7, [email protected] +93 (0) 70 283-316 Mobile: +93 (0) 70 279-305 Martin Jenner (Director) Satellite: +873 (763) 456-540 Fax: +873 (763) 456-540 German Development Service (Deutscher Eric Yendall (Country Director) Entwicklungsdienst) (DED) [email protected], Cinema-e-Baharistan [email protected] Sarake Qasabi, Karte Parwan, Kabul [email protected], [email protected] Department for International Development Mobile: +93 (0) 70 279-479 (DfID) German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) German Club St. Hs. 386, St. 15, Wazir Akbar Khan, Kabul Shar-e-Naw, Kabul [email protected] [email protected] Phone: +93 (0) 20 230-0389/0390 Phone: +93 (0) 20 220-0550/220-113 Satellite: +873 (761) 637-360 Satellite: +873 (762) 280-331 Fax: +93 (0) 20 290-174 Fax: +873 (762) 281-750 H.

Cundall, Jr., Darrell Hairston, and Anna Whiteside: University Honors Program Prologue: The Day My World Changed/ Chapter 1: A Daughter is Born 1) Why do so few people in Pakistan celebrate the birth of a baby girl? What is the attitude of Malala’s father’s toward the birth his daughter? 2) After whom is Malala named? 3) What are society’s expectations of girls? What are the attitudes of Malala and her father about the role of girls in society? 4) Before she was shot, did Malala fear for her own life? 5) Why do you think the KPK is independent? Does this cultural and geographical independence from the main part of Pakistan mean anything for the rest of Malala’s story? 6) What did Alexander the Great do when he reached the Swat Valley? 7) What are the various religions that have “ruled” the Swat Valley? The Swat Valley, Malala’ Yousafzai’s hometown, is known for its mountains, meadows, and lakes. Tourists often call it “the Switzerland of the East.” The Swat Valley was the home of Pakistan’s first ski resort. (Map Showing the Location of Swat District, Source: Pahari Sahib, Wikimedia Commons) The SWAT valley’s population is mostly made up of ethnic Gujjar and Pashtuns. The Yousafzais are Pashtuns, a group whose population is located primarily in Afghanistan and northwestern and western parts of Iran. (Ghabral, Swat Valley.

Further research subsequently reinforced that impression. Much of the material on which the book is based was collected in the course of my 1979 field trip which took me to India, Pakistan and the United Kingdom as well as Afghanistan and during a follow-up trip to India and Pakistan from December 1980 to January 1981. Unfortunately by then times had changed and on this second occasion the Afghan government refused me a visa. Texts of speeches and statements by Afghan leaders and other Afghan government documents have for the most part been taken from the Kabul Times, since these are in effect the official version. I have however taken the liberty where necessary of adjusting the syntax of the Afghan translator. The problem of transliteration is inescapable, and at the risk of offending the purists I have chosen what appears to be the simplest spelling of Afghan names and have tried to be consistent.

ORZALA ASHRAF NEMAT A CENTURY FOUNDATION REPORT The Century Foundation Headquarters: 41 East 70th Street, New York, New York 10021 D 212.535.4441 D.C.: 1333 H Street, N.W., 10th floor, Washington, D.C. 20005 D 202.387.0400 THE CENTURY FOUNDATION PROJECT ON AFGHANISTAN IN ITS REGIONAL AND MULTILATERAL DIMENSIONS This paper is one of a series commissioned by The Century Foundation as part of its project on Afghanistan in its regional and multilateral dimensions. This initiative is examining ways in which the international community may take greater collective responsibility for effectively assisting Afghanistan’s transition from a war-ridden failed state to a fragile but reasonably peaceful one. The program adds an internationalist and multilateral lens to the policy debate on Afghanistan both in the United States and globally, engaging the representatives of governments, international nongovernmental organizations, and the United Nations in the exploration of policy options toward Afghanistan and the other states in the region. At the center of the project is a task force of American and international figures who have had significant governmental, nongovernmental, or UN experience in the region, co-chaired by Lakhdar Brahimi and Thomas Pickering, respectively former UN special representative for Afghanistan and former U.S. undersecretary of state for political affairs. The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors. Nothing written here is to be construed as necessarily reflecting the views of The Century Foundation or as an attempt to aid or hinder the passage of any bill before Congress.

At the conference, there was a collective recognition of the unfolding impact of digitalization on various aspects of social, cultural, and political life in South Asia. We had a keen sense of how much things had changed in the South Asian mediascape since the introduction of cable and satellite television in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We were also aware of the growing interest in media studies within South Asian studies, and hoped that the conference would resonate with scholars from various disciplines across the humanities and social sci- ences.

  • Strategic Insight
    Strategic Insight The Loya Jirga, Ethnic Rivalries and Future Afghan Stability by Thomas H. Johnson Strategic Insights are authored monthly by analysts with the Center for Contemporary Conflict (CCC). The CCC is the research arm of the National Security Affairs Department at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. The views expressed here are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the views of the Naval Postgraduate School, the Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. August 6, 2002 On June 24 the Afghan transitional government and administration of Hamid Karzai was installed during formal ceremonies in Kabul. Karzai had easily won the June 13 election at a national political assembly, or loya jirga. The loya jirga consisted of 1500 representatives, elected or appointed from 32 provinces, and debated the political future of Afghanistan over a seven-day period. The Karzai government is supposed to rule Afghanistan through 2003. During the ceremony, Karzai and his new cabinet took an oath in both major Afghan languages (Pashtu and Dari), vowing to "follow the basic teachings of Islam" and the laws of the land, to renounce corruption, and to "safeguard the honor and integrity of Afghanistan."[1] How successful they are in achieving these vows will be critical to the near term future of Afghanistan, its reconstruction, and possibly the stability of the entire region of Central Asia. This transitional government was the result of an Emergency Loya Jirga and part of the Bonn Agreement (of November-December 2001). While not explicitly stating so in the Bonn Agreement, Lakhdar Brahimi, the Special Representative of the U.N.

  • Afghanistan's Parliament in the Making
    The involvement of women in Afghanistan’s public life is decreasing. Attacks, vigilantism, and legal processes that contradict the basic principles of human and women’s rights are the order of the day. The security situation is worsening in step with the disenchantment E MAKING H arising from the lack of results and functional shortcomings of existing democratic structures. In the face of such difficulties, we often forget who should create the legal underpinnings for the power in Afghanistan: the women and men in parliament who are working to build a state in these turbulent times of transition. To what extent will these elected representatives succeed in creating alternatives to established traditional power structures? What are the obstacles they face? What kinds of networks or caucuses are they establishing? This book, which is based on interviews of male and female members of parliament held in Kabul in 2007 and 2008, examines the reali- IN T pARLIAMENT ANISTan’s H ties of parliamentary work in Afghanistan. It shows how varied and G coercive the patterns of identification prevalent in Afghanistan can AF be, and it provides a rare opportunity to gain insights into the self- images and roles of women in parliament.

  • Education and Development in Afghanistan Challenges and Prospects

Education and Development in Afghanistan Challenges and Prospects March 2019, 314 p., pb., numerous ill. 39,99 € (DE), 978-3-8376-3637-6 E-Book: PDF: 39,99 € (DE), ISBN 978-3-8394-3637-0 After years of military interventions, the current situation in Afghanistan is highly am- bivalent and partially contradictory – especially regarding the interplay of development, peace, security, education, and economy. Despite numerous initiatives, Afghanistan is still confronted with a poor security and economic condition. At the same time, enroll- ment numbers in schools and universities as well as the rate of academics reached a historical peak. This volume investigates the tension between these ambivalent developments. Sociol- ogists, political and cultural scientists along with development workers, educators, and artists from Germany and Afghanistan discuss the idea that education is primary for rebuilding a stable Afghan state and government.
