| AREU
is an independent research organisation that conducts and facilitates action-oriented
research and learning that informs and influences policy and practice. It is currently
the only independent research organisation headquartered in Afghanistan. This
allows AREU to ensure that its findings are relevant and inform and influence
the process of change taking place on the ground.
Research themes include urban livelihoods, rural livelihoods, land, water, learning
from NSP elections, urbanisation, urban governance and vulnerability, policy processes,
health and education, (trans)-national networks, gender and local-level decision-making,
and political economy. AREU
also actively promotes a culture of research and learning by strengthening analytical
capacity in Afghanistan and creating opportunities for analysis, thought and debate.
