De nieuwe AREU A tot Z gids hulpverlening en wederopbouw Afghanistan is uit

The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU) heeft de nieuwe A tot Z-gids uitgegeven over de hulp voor Afghanistan.

De gids heeft tot doel om het bergrip te vergroten van de processen die zich in Afghanistan afspelen. Wie zijn de deelnemers? Wat zijn de structuren? Hoe functioneert de regering? Hoe verhoudt zich dit tot hulpverlening en wederopbouw?

AREU is een onafhankelijke onderzoeksorganisatie die in de Afghaanse hoofdstad Kabul is gevestigd.

De gids is via deze link te downloaden: The A to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance 2012. Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU). 10 ed, 2012.

AREU: Rethinking Rural Poverty Reduction in Afghanistan

The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU) released a new policy note drawing on the findings of its Afghanistan Livelihood Trajectories project.

It calls for a re-examination of poverty reduction strategy in Afghanistan as donor and government priorities shift in anticipation of the 2014 transition process.

Outlining some of the core challenges to rural livelihood security, it argues for a revised understanding of poverty that goes beyond issues of resource scarcity to address the social and economic structures that underpin it.

The Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU) is an independent research organisation based in Kabul. AREU’s mission is to inform and influence policy and practice through conducting high-quality, policy-relevant research.
