These elections were the first to be fully led and organised by the Afghanistan Independent Election Commission (IEC) and the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) took the lead in providing security for the elections. It was also the first time that arrangements were made for prisoners and hospitalised citizens, to cast their votes. The steady increase of security-related incidents by Anti-Government Elements (AGEs) was a dominant factor in the preparation and holding of the elections. Despite commendable efforts from the ANSF, insecurity had a bearing on the decision of Afghans to participate in the elections Polling day recorded the highest number of attacks and other forms of intimidation for some 15 years.

Whilst ACBAR is not in a position to confirm the information provided,I am confident that this publication provides an excellent picture of the work being undertaken by the NGO community for Afghans. I would also like to thank the agencies for providing the data; Mohammad Zakir, the main person in ACBAR behind all the work and other members of the Programme Department.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION I am very pleased to make available the ACBAR Database for 1994.This is now the seventh edition of this publication, that ACBAR has compiled, since 1988. This year, in order to control the size and related costs for the future, we have decided to publish the Database in two separate parts: Part Á: Closed and Discontinued Projects, as at end 1994: - presented in four separate volumes: Volume I Location - Province/District Volume IISector Volume IIIAgency Volume IVRefugees in Pakistan. - this will NOT be reprinted. Part B: Ongoing Projects; and Proposed and Surveyed activities: Volume V Ongoing Projects - by Location; Sector, Agency; Refugees; and Proposed & Surveyed Activities. - this will be updated during 1995. The five volumes of the Database, which total some 1400 pages, have taken considerable time and effort to prepare. They provide a compilation of the activities as reported by 272 Non -Government Organisations (NGOs) working for Afghanistan. Whilst most agencies are Peshawar based, activities are also reported for agencies located in Islamabad, Quetta and inside Afghanistan. Whilst ACBAR has not had the ability to confirm the information provided, I am confident that this publication provides as accurate a picture as possible of NGO activities related to Afghanistan and refugees over the period to 1994. I would like to express my gratitude to agencies for providing the data. However, most of all I should thank Mohammad Zakir, who, by himself, has done much of the work; together with the other members of the ACBAR Programme Department. They have spent considerable time, including free time, to compile, check and prepare this publication.
