ACBAR

Agency Coordinating Body for Afghan Relief & development (ACBAR) is a national, independent, non-government organization (NGO) that provides a platform for information-sharing and networking for national and international NGOs in Afghanistan. ACBAR was created in Peshawar, Pakistan, in August 1988 in response to the demand from NGOs working with Afghan refugees in Pakistan and across the border in Afghanistan to coordinate assistance and delivery of services more efficiently. ACBAR’s main office or secretariat has been based in Kabul since 2002.  ACBAR also has five provincial offices in Jalalabad, Mazar-e-Sherif, Herat, Kunduz and Kandahar.
