After two decades of war, Afghanistan’s governance system has been completely decimated. In response the transitional government and UN-HABITAT has designed the National Solidarity Programme (NSP) which is aimed at strengthening the network of some 30,000 self-governing community institutions. The NSP has three objectives in empowering communities: (i) re-establishing relations between government and rural communities; (ii) providing grants for the reconstruction of physical and social infrastructure; (iii) empowering communities and establishing community-level governance structures. The programme establishes local community institutions and develops the ability of communities to plan, manage, finance and monitor their own development projects. Communities work with the government through elected representatives to their own Community Development Councils (CDCs), with regular consultations and consensus building among community members. UN-HABITAT is currently operating as the designated Facilitating Partner (FP) in 43 districts of nine provinces, with operations in 2,848 communities.
