Afghanistan
  • Afghanistan

    Afghanistan joined UNESCO on May 4, 1948. With a National Office in Kabul, the country serves as an example in the fight against illiteracy. Several projects have been implemented jointly with UNESCO such as the LAND AFGHAN project, which aims to promote literacy and non-formal education. Gender parity in education as well as the development of the University of Kabul are the current priorities of cooperation between UNESCO and Afghanistan.

    Afghanistan is one of the 35 countries implementing the UNESCO Literacy Initiative for Empowerment (LIFE), a 10-year initiative aimed at achieving the goals of the United Nations Literacy Decade (2003-2012).

    The country also participates in EDUCAIDS, a UNESCO-led global response to HIV and AIDS.
