Leacock Building 855 rue Sherbrooke Ouest, Montreal, QC, H3A 2T7, CA

With support from the Canadian International Development Agency, and as part of the Government of Afghanistan’s National Solidarity Program (NSP), AKF in Afghanistan is improving local governance and socio-economic conditions for over 2.1 million people in some 1,250 villages in north eastern Afghanistan.   Sujeet will outline how AKF is building local governance and enabling communities to form more sustainable institutions capable of realizing their development.  The approach has yielded impressive results, and represents a model for other parts of the country.   Lessons from this initiative are helping to shape future support to community level governance in Afghanistan and other conflict prone countries.
