All rights reserved. Preface This is the second edition of The A to Z Guide to Afghanistan Assistance. Our first editionwas brought out one year ago at a time of great change in Afghanistan. At that time,coordination mechanisms and aid processes were changing so fast that old hands and newarrivals alike were sometimes overwhelmed by the multiplicity of acronyms and referencesto structures and entities that had been recently created, abolished or re-named. Eighteen months after the fall of the Taliban and the signing of the Bonn Agreement, thereare still rapid new developments, a growing complexity to the reconstruction effort and to planning processes and, of course, new acronyms! Our aim therefore remains to provide a guide to the terms, structures, mechanisms andcoordinating bodies critical to the Afghanistan relief and reconstruction effort to help ensurea shared vocabulary and common understanding of the forces at play. We’ve also includedmaps and a contact directory to make navigating the assistance community easier. This2nd edition also includes a section called “Resources,” containing information on such thingsas media organisations, security information, and Afghanistan-related web sites. Anothernew addition is a guide to the Afghan government. As the objective of so many assistanceagencies is to support and strengthen government institutions, we felt that understandinghow the Afghan government is structured is important to working in the current environment.We hope you find these new additions useful. We may have overlooked certain entries, and inevitably some of the facts will have alreadychanged by the time we go to print. For this reason, we intend for this guide to remain a“live document.” Resources permitting, AREU intends to update The A to Z Guide periodicallyin printed form and on a more regular basis on the AREU web site at www.areu.org.pk.We therefore encourage you to contact AREU with any additions, corrections and suggestions. Please send all comments to areu.org.pk. Finally, AREU would like to thank the governments of Sweden and Switzerland and theUnited Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) for the support that has madepublications like this A to Z Guide possible. Andrew Wilder Director Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU) August 2003 iii CONTACTS Blank Contact Directory This contact directory provides a list of street addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses for the assistance community, government and foreign embassies in Afghanistan. You will also find a version of this directory on our web site at www.areu.org.pk. To the best of our knowledge, the information in this directory is accurate as of July 2003. However,addresses, phone numbers and e-mail contacts are constantly changing as organisations re-locate, expand and test different communications systems. We have included information on field offices in each province when it was provided, but this information is far from complete. Because werely on the voluntary contributions of organisations to keep this list comprehensive, accurate and up-to-date, we urge you to send any additions or changes to [email protected]. All addresses are in Afghanistan, except for the last section, which, as indicated, lists contact informationof Afghan-related offices in Pakistan. Please also refer to the map section of this guide for locationsof UN agencies, embassies, government offices and NGOs. Please note that telephone numbers marked “Phone” refer to either the digital phone network installedin 2000-2001, or to the local, analogue land line system. Analogue service is inconsistent, and callersusing local phones can generally only call other local numbers. The digital numbers are more reliableand can be reached by other networks by dialing the prefix “20” before the number. “Satellite” refersto the various satellite services available, including the Thuraya satellite network in Afghanistan.“Mobile” refers to the GSM system of the Afghanistan Wireless Communications Company (AWCC). Contact information is provided by province (e.g. Kabul, Herat, Wardak), and then within each provinceby type of organisation (e.g. donors, NGOs, UN). 123 Kabul Province DONORS German Development Cooperation (Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau) (KfW) Canadian International Development Hs. 386, St. 15, Wazir Akbar Khan, Kabul Agency (CIDA)Canada Programme Support Ofkficfwek (aCbPuSl@O)t-Hosn.l i5n4e3.d (eon right hand side), Ln. 2, St. 15 Wazir Akbar Khan, Kabul Phone: +93 (0) 20 230-0387/0391, [email protected] +93 (0) 20 290-171 Mobile: +93 (0) 70 279-305 Mobile: +93 (0) 70 274-456/7, Satellite: +873 (763) 456-540 +93 (0) 70 283-316 Fax: +873 (763) 456-540 Martin Jenner (Director) Eric Yendall (Country Director) German Development Service (DeutscherEntwicklungsdienst) (DED) [email protected], Cinema-e-Baharistan [email protected] Sarake Qasabi, Karte Parwan, Kabul Department for International Development(DfIDde)[email protected], [email protected] German Club St. Mobile: +93 (0) 70 279-479 Shar-e-Naw, Kabul German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) [email protected] Hs. 386, St. 15, Wazir Akbar Khan, Kabul Phone: +93 (0) 20 220-0550/220-113 [email protected] Satellite: +873 (762) 280-331 Phone: +93 (0) 20 230-0389/0390 Fax: +873 (762) 281-750 Satellite: +873 (761) 637-360 Richard Hogg (Head of Office) Fax: +93 (0) 20 290-174 [email protected] H.
