Local Governance and Community Development (LGCD) helps the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA) to identify and address issues that are driving instability and support for the insurgency in outlying districts in the South, East, and West. LGCD aims to separate the population from the insurgency while linking the population to GIRoA. The ultimate goal is to create a stable environment for medium-term political, economic, and social development. Expected outcomes of LGCD include: greater community participation in the selection and implementation of small-scale stability activities; improved provincial and district government capacity to deliver services that address citizens’ needs; immediate employment generation; significant and lasting improvements in rural infrastructure (roads, bridges, irrigation systems, and power sources); expanded economic opportunities and access to public services; and stronger citizen support for GIRoA in insecure areas, resulting in greater stability.
- Component 1 – Assess (Shape): Assess community grievances and design cost-effective solutions to address those grievances;
- Component 2 – Local Stability Initiatives (Clear): Quick impact stability initiatives to meet recovery needs in priority communities;
- Component 3 – Community Development and Mobilization (Hold): Address priority grievances of at-risk populations through integrated community development projects.
Regional focus: South, East, and West.
