The overall goal of Berghof Foundation’s work in this region is to support Afghan-driven efforts to resolve the protracted conflict and to achieve resilient and sustainable peace.

Timeframe: 2016 - ongoing


Our efforts in Afghanistan aim to support Afghan stakeholders in establishing sustainable and resilient peace by strengthening their individual and collective capacity to design and implement nonviolent conflict transformation as a self-owned and self-led process.

The work focuses on six objectives, namely:

  • Supporting the most-needed capacities and a framework for sustainable peace by providing expertise in a range of areas, as well as through dialogue and mediation support;
  • Contributing to make the political process more inclusive and in turn more sustainable;
  • Contributing to the establishment of local peacebuilding mechanisms as well as locally-driven development initiatives in order to address drivers of conflict;
  • Supporting the establishment of constructive dialogue between key Afghan stakeholders and relevant peers in the region;
  • Supporting genuine conciliation across a range of existing cleavages (violent and non-violent conflicts) through the facilitation of dialogue and conciliation processes as well as approaches to dealing with the past;
  • Contribute to the process of building legitimate and durable infrastructures for peace.
