Welcome to the
Afghan Gender Cafe

My goal is to serve as a network for communication and coordination of activities among activists advocates, policy-makers, development workers, researchers, academics and other who are doing gender work in Afghanistan. 

My vision for the cafe is to provide a vehicle to share training materials, manuals, guides, handbooks and other information so we can learn from each other. Please link with the Afghan Gender Cafe. Send submissions for posting resources and information to share knowledge and experiences.

4/16/2009    The Times
