Afghan Development Association (ADA) has been moving through periods of extensive and intensive development work since its establishment in Pakistan during 1989, working mostly in refugee camps. Today ADA has a visible footprint across various regions of Afghanistan; working, collaborating, coordinating and supporting variety of local, national and international actors to one day effectively realize its vision, eradication of poverty from Afghanistan. In doing so it hopes to achieve its mission of empowering needy people to promote social justice and peace, thus seeding sustainable development in a demography widely affected by ills of war, continuing insecurity and poppy culture.
In pursuit of its development ambitions for Afghanistan, ADA has been working under the leadership of its board of directors. The board comprises individuals with ample knowledge, understanding and experience of local and regional political dynamics, the security situation, economic conditions, development principles and above all the needs, requirements and ambitions of Afghan people.
Under the direction of our Board and our Managing Director, we are operationalizing our 2006-2010 Strategic Plan. Per this plan, we are organized into five departments: Planning, Capacity Building, Education, Integrated Rural Development (IRD) and Finance. Each department is headed by a director and is supported by line staff, resources and equipment both at our Kabul Head Office and our network of provincial offices. These offices cover Central Afghanistan (Kabul), the North (Baghlan, Takhar, and Faryab), the East (Nangarhar), the West / South-West (Farah, Zabul, Uruzgan and Kandahar), and the South-Centre (Ghazni and Logar).
An Emergency facilitation unit, undergoing its preliminary setup and training phase has been created in ADA, to coordinate and facilitate emergency related issues, disaster risk reduction, response and management with multiple stakeholders starting at community level, local organizations, our own staff to government and international agencies in Kabul. The unit, a realization of one of our strategic objectives ensures our continued commitment and support for people in dire need, while on the other hand we do not lose momentum of our development work and its underlying principle of active community participation and support for the initiatives.
