ORCD - Organization for Research and Community Development
Established in 2011, ORCD is an Afghan national organization registered with the Ministry of Economy. ORCD’s efforts are guided by its mission “Using evidence-based best practice approach, empower communities to set and achieve their own development goals”.
AFGA activities were suspended due to war and conflict in the country for ten years (1992-2002) and resumed its activities in 2002 with financial support from International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF).
ORCD is the first Afghan NGO representing civil societies in the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)of the United Nations. Such a status had never been granted to any Afghan NGO ever before in the history of Afghanistan. Mainly deploying bottom-up leadership approach, its head office is in Kabul with 13 provincial offices with a total 1800 staff. It has implemented around 30 projects in more than 20 provinces of Afghanistan in the field of health, education, women empowerment, rural development, and agriculture.
