Afghan diaspora
Afghanistan has been in protracted conflict for 40 years, leading millions of Afghans to flee their home and seek refuge across borders close and far. Some of them returned, more than 6 million currently live outside of Afghanistan. The Afghan diaspora play a crucial role in providing support towards affected communities in Afghanistan, and often remain engaged throughout all stages of crises, bridging acute humanitarian needs with long-term recovery.
Our work with Afghan diaspora
Our work with the Afghan diaspora is guided by considering the local circumstances they are operating in, as well as the nature and dynamics of their engagement.
The Afghan diaspora is diverse. Their engagement towards Afghans inside and outside of Afghanistan is based on different motivations, positions, and affiliations. Most significantly, it is personal. Therefore, our programming with diasporas does not follow a one-size fits all approach. It is based on social, cultural, and local contexts.
