Who we are
A platform for dialogue among Afghans
Afghan Peace Dialogue (APD) was founded after the fall of the Republic in 2021 by Afghans who share one conviction: the future of Afghanistan must be decided by Afghans, through dialogue and negotiation, and never imposed from outside.
The movement gathers qualified, experienced and young Afghans — women and men from all ethnic groups, regions and religious traditions — inside Afghanistan and in the diaspora.
How we work
Dialogue, advocacy and proposals
We organise forums, round tables and conferences that bring together political figures, community elders, scholars, women and young people. We carry their proposals to the French Senate and National Assembly, the European Union and the United Nations.
Through A New Narrative for Afghanistan and the Afghanistan Observatory, we prepare concrete proposals for a new social contract and a democratic transition.
