  • Kandahar University Strategic Plan (2017-2021)
    Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Ministry of Higher Education Kandahar University Kandahar University Strategic Plan (2017-2021) Chancellor’s Message of Kandahar University It is a pleasure for me that Kandahar University has implemented two strategic plans each with five years length of time to the possible extent, meanwhile the quality assurance programs have also been initiated practically in different universities of the country prompting great outcome. It is very hard to expect such a progress in a community where a clear procedure for positive competition is lacking; Afghanistan can be a prime example of such a circumstance. As our country is lagging behind in many ways in comparison to other countries, great efforts and progressive steps are required to move parallel to the possible limit with these countries. By doing so, if we were not able to be equal with other countries in a short time, at least we would have pinpointed the right path for progress. This is also a fact that we lack while other countries of the world possess those facilities that are vital for the progress and improvement especially in higher education and research area. In spite of all the limitations and challenges, we are required to benefit from the limited available national and international aid resources to a great extent. This strategic plan for five years have been prepared after the revision and consultation of all responsible and prominent personnel of Kandahar University and it is prepared in concordance with the strategic plan of Ministry of Higher Education and with governmental national progressive strategy of Afghanistan.

  • The a to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance
    The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit The A to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance 3rd Edition, August 2004 Writer: Lucy Jones Editor: Brandy Bauer, with assistance from Thomas Muller With special thanks to: Lua Anderson, Mir Ahmad Joyenda, and Jawed Faraidoon Shariq Cover illustration: Sayara Media and Communications Design and printing: The Army Press © 2004 The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU). All rights reserved. Preface In 2002, AREU released the first A to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance during 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. Two years on, this, the third edition of the guide, is also coming out during a tremendous time of change in Afghanistan. For the first time in over two decades, the country is preparing for national elections, scheduled for autumn 2004 (presidential) and spring 2005 (parliamentary). Given the importance of the elections over the next six months, this edition includes a section focusing on elections that provides an overview of the election law, political parties, the timetable for elections, electoral districts and other critical information to assist you in understanding the political process. The elections section also includes a handy question and answer guide to the elections. Like the previous editions of the A to Z Guide, the purpose of this third edition is to provide a manual of 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.
