Women’s Participation in Development Initiatives and Its Impact on Gender Dynamics in Afghanistan - Final Technical Report
Abstract
The research specifically explored women’s participation in the National Solidarity

participation. The study covers three provinces. A total of 453 participants were covered in
the study, including 96 who were also involved in a second-round of interviews...
