with a population of 655,462 and comprising eight districts, is one of the poorest
provinces in the country, where the majority of the people live in poverty. There are high
illiteracy rates and a lack of public infrastructure, including power and energy. These issues,
along with poverty, unemployment, and inadequate infrastructure, particularly in rural areas,
affect access to education, and economic opportunities. 
We engage communities in dialogue initiatives to promote conflict resolution, support vocational
training programs for youth employment and basic services, and advocate for gender equality
and women's empowerment through awareness campaigns and capacity-building initiatives. 
Kunar, with a population of 428,800 spread across 16 districts, confronts significant challenges
due to its mountainous terrain, with 96% of the population residing in rural areas. This leads to
limited public services, high poverty, unemployment, and vulnerability to natural disasters.
Additionally, there are issues with agricultural productivity, electricity access, and gender
disparities in education. 

ADWSO addresses these challenges by enhancing livelihood programs and promoting peace
and community cohesion initiatives. This includes supporting income-generation activities within
the community, implementing sustainable agriculture practices, and promoting gender-inclusive
education and employment opportunities. These efforts foster resilience and sustainable
development in the region.
