Through the U.S. Escritório de Iniciativas de Transição da Agência para o Desenvolvimento Internacional, the Community Cohesion Initiative contributed to increased resilience in critical areas vital to Afghanistan’s overall stability and development.
The Community Cohesion Initiative implemented community-driven activities designed to help Afghans rebuild, strengthen and connect their communities to the wider social and political structures in the country. It strengthened community capacities to support a peaceful political transition, contributing to peaceful electoral processes and outcomes and countering violent threats to a peaceful transition.
The program helped to increase communities’ ability to withstand political and social upheaval, insurgent infiltration, and other shocks and pressures.
