USAID Afghanistan

  Following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, cascading humanitarian and economic crises threaten the hard-won social and development gains made over the last two decades. Amid significant humanitarian needs, Afghans face constant threats to their human rights—including rights to education and free speech—jeopardizing access to essential services, limiting opportunities to prosper, and barring Afghan women, girls, and other marginalized groups from full participation in society.
