Kabul Center
for Strategic Studies
About our research
Kabul Center provides strategic research and trains and develops local experts so that eventually Afghans can solve their own problems.
The Center’s experts and staff come from all of Afghanistan’s ethnic communities and sects in order to ensure that the Center’s research and recommendations are not just for the benefit of some Afghans at the expense of others.
In addition to its advisory board, staff, and research fellows, the Center also has access to a host of other scholars, experts, reporters, researchers, and other resources.
