ACBAR brings together more than 200 National and International NGOs working in in all sectors of humanitarian assistance and development in Afghanistan. Based on the three strategic pillars of Information and Coordination, Advocacy and Enabling Environment, and Capacity Building, ACBAR’s activities focus heavily on sharing information with members, coordination of members and the aid community in general, at the national and regional levels, and carrying out advocacy on issues affecting the work of its members and other I/NNGO in Afghanistan.
