The Norwegian Afghanistan Committee (NAC) is a member-based solidarity organisation, doing development work in Afghanistan and information and advocacy in Norway. We work primarily in rural and remote areas with a dual focus on rural development and the education of female health workers. NAC shall contribute to an Afghanistan free of poverty where equality, democracy, human rights and respect serve as the bases for political action and development. The cornerstone of our organisation is the fundamental belief in freedom, independence, democracy, human rights and a better life for all. NAC operates with a head office in Oslo, a country office in Kabul and regional offices in Badakhshan, Ghazni and Faryab. We have roughly 700 short- and longterm employees in Afghanistan, of which 99% are Afghan nationals. Our staff possesses the experience, knowledge, skills and commitment to keep the organisation vigorous and innovative. The head office in Oslo has 5 employees, who are aided in their work by dedicated and experienced volunteers.
