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. News |
