P\u00e5 Afghanistankomiteens (NAC) kontor i Faryab, en provins i det nordlige Afghanistan, som grenser til Turkmenistan, leder Wahida Ghorob tjue ansatte som koordinator for NACs arbeid i provinsen.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"\u2013 Etter at jeg begynte \u00e5 jobbe for Afghanistankomiteen i 2016, har jeg jobbet med flere viktige omr\u00e5der, slik som kj\u00f8nn, menneskerettigheter, monitorering og evaluering f\u00f8r jeg ble ansatt som koordinator i 2018. F\u00f8r jeg ble med i NAC, jobbet jeg i diverse internasjonale organisasjoner her i Afghanistan, hovedsakelig med menneskerettigheter, forklarer Ghorob.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Wahida ble f\u00f8dt i <\/span>Faryab provinsen<\/a>\u00a0og har bodd der hele livet hennes. Hun er 32 \u00e5r gammel, gift og har tre barn. Hennes varierte utdannelsesbakgrunn inkluderer statsvitenskap, jordmor, juss, organisasjon og ledelse, i tillegg til kurs i dialog- og konflikttransformasjon fra Nansen Fredssenter i Norge.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Jeg \u00f8nsket \u00e5 jobbe for Afghanistankomiteen etter jeg h\u00f8rte om deres arbeid ute p\u00e5 den afghanske landsbygda. Med et s\u00f8kelys p\u00e5 likestilling, i et samfunn der kvinner er mer s\u00e5rbare og blir ofte diskriminert, ga meg en sterk motivasjon til \u00e5 s\u00f8ke p\u00e5 en jobb i organisasjonen. Her i Afghanistankomiteen (NAC) kan jeg jobbe fritt som en selvstendig afghansk kvinne, noe som gir meg veldig mye motivasjon og glede. Dette er den beste jobben jeg noensinne har hatt.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

En vanlig jobbdag<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Afghanistankomiteens kontor i Faryab-provinsen jobber hovedsakelig innenfor utdanning, men kontoret jobber ogs\u00e5 med andre sentrale utviklingsomr\u00e5der som helse, dialog- og konflikttransformasjon, infrastruktur, jordbruk, forebygging og h\u00e5ndtering av naturkatastrofer (DRR)<\/a> og godt styresett.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 P\u00e5 en vanlig jobbdag deltar jeg i m\u00f8ter for \u00e5 koordinere h\u00e5ndteringen av alle omr\u00e5dene og ansvarene kontoret har, for eksempel med viktig samfunnsmedlemmer og representanter for provinsens utdanningsinstitusjoner. I tillegg underviser jeg l\u00e6rere, studenter, statlig ansatte og andre samfunnsledere i dialog- og konflikttransformasjon. Etter ti\u00e5r med krig er det et reelt behov for dette i lokalsamfunnene i hele Afghanistan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Afghanistankomiteens innsats i Faryab<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

S\u00e5 langt i 2022, har NACs Faryab kontor hatt mange forskjellige prosjekter og programaktiviteter. Kontoret har hovedsakelig tre prosjekter akkurat n\u00e5. Et av disse er et jordbruksprosjekt i samarbeid med FNs Ern\u00e6rings- og Landbruksorganisasjon (FAO), der blant annet gj\u00f8dsel blir distribuert til utsatte b\u00f8nder.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Gjennom dette samarbeidsprosjektet med FAO har vi delt ut gj\u00f8dsel til flere tusen b\u00f8nder her i Faryab! De to andre hovedprosjektene v\u00e5re er innen utdanning<\/a>. Og sammen med organisasjonen <\/span>Dansk Folkehjelps avdeling for afghansk rehabilitering og teknisk trening (DAARTT), gjennomf\u00f8rer vi <\/span>Rettferdig tilgang til kvalitetsutdanning-prosjektet, som vi startet i januar. Vi gjennomf\u00f8rer ogs\u00e5 utdanningsbiten av NACs ERA-prosjekt (Empowering Rural Afghanistan), som tar sikte p\u00e5 \u00e5 skape solide langvarige l\u00f8sninger p\u00e5 utviklingssp\u00f8rsm\u00e5l for den afghanske landsbygda, forklarer Ghorob.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Utdanning i Faryab<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Andre aktiviteter og prosjekter Faryab-kontoret jobber med i disse dager inkluderer informasjonskampanje om COVID-19, kompetanseheving av l\u00e6rerstudenter som skal undervise i tolvte klasse, kompetanseutvikling for 300 skolel\u00e6rere fra hele provinsen, gratis forberedende kurs for \u00e5 hjelpe studenter som skal ta den nasjonale opptakspr\u00f8ven (Kankor-eksamen) for \u00e5\"\" komme inn p\u00e5 universiteter og ikke minst f\u00f8rskolegrupper hvor barna l\u00e6rer gjennom lek og spill. Kontoret arrangerer ogs\u00e5 kapasitetsbyggende vinterleirer for 120 studenter slik at de blir bedre forberdt for neste \u00e5rs studier.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Disse prosjektene vil fortsette utover hele v\u00e5ren her i Faryab. Deretter vil vi gjenoppta v\u00e5re aktiviteter og programmer fra 2021 som vi ikke kunne fullf\u00f8re p\u00e5 grunn av pandemien og det politiske skiftet i august.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Utfordringer for utvikling<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Det er alltid utfordringer i forbindelse med bistand og utvikling i Afghanistan. Wahida forklarer at den st\u00f8rste utfordringen hennes kontor st\u00e5r ovenfor i disse dager er separeringen av gutter og jenter i skolene og p\u00e5 universitetene. Dette er b\u00e5de et administrasjonsproblem og et finansielt problem for deres p\u00e5g\u00e5ende arbeid.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Til tross for de nye reglene som den nye regjeringen har innf\u00f8rt, kan vi fremdeles dra p\u00e5 kontoret og fortsette v\u00e5rt arbeid. Vi har mange oppgaver ute i felten blant lokalsamfunnene, som v\u00e5re kvinnelige ansatte fremdeles kan delta i, og det er jo veldig bra! Nesten alle institusjonene til den forrige regjeringen er stengt, og deres ansatte mottar ikke l\u00f8nn. Afghanistankomiteen er fortsatt til stede her i landet, noe lokalsamfunnene som vi er aktive i er veldig forn\u00f8yd med. Derfor er jeg veldig stolt av \u00e5 v\u00e6re en del av Afghanistankomiteen.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fremtiden for utdanning i Afghanistan<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"I l\u00f8pet av de siste m\u00e5nedene har fattigdommen steget enormt i Afghanistan. Arbeidsledigheten er ogs\u00e5 et stort problem for mange afghanere, s\u00e6rlig i de avsidesliggende omr\u00e5dene ute i distriktene.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Jeg bekymrer meg for barna mines fremtid og s\u00e6rlig for jenters og kvinners utdannelse. F\u00f8r var vi kvinner relativt frie. De nye restriksjonene p\u00e5 kvinnene her i landet er rett og slett uakseptable. Mange jenter og kvinner f\u00f8ler seg ikke komfortable med \u00e5 g\u00e5 alene ute i byene. Vi m\u00e5 fortsette arbeidet med \u00e5 skape et godt sosialt milj\u00f8 og lik tilgang utdanning for jentene og kvinnene i Afghanistan, slik at de ogs\u00e5 kan ha en fremtid i dette landet.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

As a non-political, non-profit organization that has been active in Afghanistan for over 40 years, NAC has always had the rural population of Afghanistan in mind. This is particularly what I like and admire about the organization, and why I enjoy working for it so much, says Ghafar.<\/p>\n

Ghafar grew up in Ghazni Province.

A typical workday in Ghazni<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Norwegian Afghanistan Committee\u2019s provincial office in Ghazni is actively working in thirteen districts throughout the province. Like the other NAC offices in Afghanistan, the Ghazni office will primarily focus on education and food security in the coming months. An overarching framework in all of the work NAC does in Afghanistan is the implementation the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Since I lead the Ghazni Provincial Office, I have different tasks and responsibilities every day. During a usual workday I am responsible for office management, project-coordination with different governmental departments, and I attend meetings with the staff, as well as with the other relevant NGOs here. Often, I visit project sites, where I meet with the communities and assist them with their needs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”column_reverse” column_direction_phone=”column_reverse” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” top_padding_tablet=”8%” bottom_padding_tablet=”8%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” id=”home” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.5″ gradient_direction=”top_to_bottom” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”straight_section” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ background_image=”4608″ background_image_position=”center center” enable_bg_scale=”true” background_image_loading=”default” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.5″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” offset=”vc_col-xs-12″ gradient_type=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height_tablet=”400″ custom_height_phone=”400″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_phone=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_spacing=”20px” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” zindex=”100″ advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_t_to_right_b” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” offset=”vc_col-xs-12″ gradient_type=”default”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” min_width=”47vh”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”5px” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” enable_border_animation=”true” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\n

Ongoing activities and programmes in Ghazni<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Currently, the provincial office in Ghazni has several immediate humanitarian programmes due to the ongoing crisis in the country<\/a>. With the support of the World Food Programme (WFP), the Ghazni office offers short-term job opportunities through food-for-work initiatives. The people are offered work, for example in repairing roads and irrigation canals. This project provides food for around 500 families in the province who struggle with extreme food insecurity.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Here at the office, we have several educational projects going on these months<\/a>, such as diploma-upgrading programmes, where teachers graduate with a diploma of grade fourteen after a study period of three years. These teachers will go to remote rural areas of Afghanistan, which are hard to reach, and where the quality of education is very poor compared to the bigger cities. Soon, a new batch of these students will graduate and will then be ready for advanced and inclusive teaching.<\/p>\n

We also have learning centres (Think-Labs), where around 200 male and female students have different courses, for example English and computer programming, says Ghafar.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”column_reverse” column_direction_phone=”row_reverse” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”4%” bottom_padding=”2%” top_padding_tablet=”8%” bottom_padding_tablet=”8%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” id=”home” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.5″ gradient_direction=”top_to_bottom” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”straight_section” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_phone=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_spacing=”20px” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” zindex=”100″ advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_t_to_right_b” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” offset=”vc_col-xs-12″ gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u2013 We also distribute seeds, fertilizers and other agricultural products to thirteen districts here in Ghazni Province<\/a>, to help farmers in dire need.

Improved security situation, but still challenges<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ghafar elaborates on how the security situation has changed lately. Before, it was difficult for his office to reach out to all of the communities in certain areas due to armed fighting in the province. However, since August, Ghafar explains that they do not face similar security issues.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Fortunately, we have many more ongoing projects, compared to recent years. In all of the districts here in Ghazni, there have been clashes and violence for the last 20 years. In many of these districts, there have been no opportunities for girls to get educated because of the war. But now, most of these areas are accessible to us, Ghafar explains.<\/p>\n

\u2013 The demand for employment is high for the Afghan people, and we cannot fulfill all of it. Alongside rising poverty rates and widespread hunger, this is the main challenge we are facing in Afghanistan these days. In terms of security there are no specific challenges for the continuation of our work currently, which is a very good thing for us and the communities we assist.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
