Our Objectives
At Afghan Peace Dialogue (APD), our goals are aimed at building a sustainable, inclusive, and equitable peace for Afghanistan. We firmly believe that authentic peace cannot be achieved without the inclusion of all Afghan voices and a collective commitment to change. Through concrete actions on the ground, bold political initiatives, and solid international partnerships, we turn these objectives into measurable, impactful results.
1. Promoting an Inclusive Peace Process
APD is dedicated to creating a comprehensive, inclusive peace process, led by Afghan citizens and fully incorporating the youth, women, and minority groups. Our goal is to ensure that every voice plays a role in shaping the country’s future. To achieve this, APD regularly organizes forums, roundtables, and dialogue spaces, placing these essential perspectives at the heart of peace discussions.
2. Ensuring Women’s Rights and Participation
At the core of APD’s commitments is the protection of women’s rights in Afghanistan. We work actively to ensure that Afghan women have a strong, participatory voice in building the nation’s future. Through dialogue platforms, rights-focused training, gender equality initiatives, and leadership opportunities, APD supports and elevates the crucial role of women in all aspects of Afghan society.
3. Defending Democratic Values and Human Rights
APD is resolutely committed to protecting the fundamental rights of every Afghan. We strive to preserve freedom of expression, equality, and essential civic rights that foster a just and inclusive society. Through awareness events, educational workshops, and field actions, APD mobilizes and empowers communities to actively engage in defending their rights and promoting democratic values.
4. Advocating for a Transitional Government for Lasting Stability
APD seeks the establishment of an inclusive, representative transitional government that can lay the groundwork for transparent elections and sustainable governance in Afghanistan. This provisional government would aim to protect the rights of all citizens, restore trust among communities, and facilitate the safe return of refugees. Such a transitional framework is vital to ensure a stable shift towards a peaceful and democratic future.
5. Advocating for Human Security and Fundamental Rights Protection
Amidst Afghanistan’s humanitarian crisis, APD plays a crucial advocacy role in favor of targeted and effective international aid. We are committed to raising awareness and mobilizing international actors to ensure that human rights, safety, and dignity are safeguarded for all Afghans, especially in conflict-affected areas. APD focuses on strengthening local structures and supporting initiatives that address urgent human rights and security needs.
6. Engaging the International Community
APD maintains a strategic, active commitment with international leaders and intergovernmental organizations to reinforce support for Afghanistan. We work to ensure that the international community consistently backs initiatives for peace, stability, and reconstruction, advocating for a sustainable and inclusive peace that respects the rights of all Afghans. By establishing alliances and participating in global discussions, APD ensures that Afghanistan remains a priority in the world’s peace and security agenda.
