The presidential election in Afghanistan was stained by political unrest and accusations. When Ashraf Ghani eventually was appointed president, chaos had reigned for months. The number of international troops has been drastically reduced and the Afghans are expected to take full responsibility from now on. At the same time, Afghanistan is entirely dependent on international support in order to maintain a functional state and implement development projects.

  • Is the Afghan state capable of securing the rights of its citizens?
  • How can Afghanistan reap the benefits of its young population?
  • How to break the deadlock of Afghan politics?
  • Who has the power, who commands the fighters and how can Afghanistan reach sustainable security?


In this event you will meet this year's expert panel:

  • Horia Mosadiq, Amnesty International researcher on Afghanistan: Human rights and women's situation
  • Eshanulla Eshan, is a teacher and principal at the Kandahar Institute for Modern Studies: The power of education
  • Kate Clark, Senior Analyst and Country Director for the Afghanistan Analysts Network (Kabul): Security and politics
  • Arne Strand, Deputy Director, Research Director CMI (Bergen, Norway): The importance of a strong civil society and the role of youth


The panel will debate with key civil society actors in Norway. 


The debate will be follwed by a light Afghan meal in the lobby.

Organisers: Norwegian Afghanistan Committee, Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) Christian Michelsen Institute (CMI), Forum for Women and Development (FOKUS), Norwegian Church Aid, Norwegian Refugee Council, Nansen Peace Center, Norwegian Red Cross, and CARE Norway
