The Afghanistan Reconstruction Project (ARP) carries out research and public education about selected issues related to the rebuilding of Afghanistan's institutions, society, and economy. The project supports efforts by the Afghan government, Afghan civil society, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, and donors to carry out a more effective reconstruction mission based on the Bonn Agreement and the Afghanistan Compact focused on Afghan ownership.
CIC’s continuing close involvement in Afghanistan’s reconstruction is led by Director of Studies and Senior Fellow Dr. Barnett Rubin. Most recently, CIC assisted the Afghan government in drafting its Interim Afghanistan National Development Strategy and advised UNAMA on the drafting and negotiation of the Afghanistan Compact.
