About Company

About Afghanistan Institute for Civil Society (AICS): NGOs in Afghanistan face challenges, including financial and capacity gaps and a public trust deficit, in their endeavors to play such a role effectively. The government, the international community, and civil society have been considering methods by which to support NGOs to address these challenges and realize their potential, dating back to discussions at the Conference on Enabling Environment for Effective Private Sector Contribution to Development in Afghanistan in June 2007. One of the outcomes of these considerations was the formation of a working group, with representation from international and national NGOs, key national NGO networks, and civil society professionals, to establish an organization that will enable NGOs to address these challenges. The Afghanistan Institute for Civil Society (AICS) objectives are: To raise the credibility of the civil society sector by certifying local NGOs using locally defined and internationally recognized standards. To systemize capacity-building efforts by coordinating initiatives using measurable performance indicators. To strengthen the role of civil society in Afghanistan’s development through policy dialogue and active engagement with the government, donors, and the broader development sector. To provide a channel for resources for civil society by strengthening philanthropic and corporate social responsibility efforts.
