What is civil society?

Civil society refers to the space which lies between the state and private sectors and represent un-coerced collective action around common interests, purposes and values. Civil society comprises a diversity of spaces, actors and institutions varying in their degree of formality, autonomy and power. Civil society is valued for its civilian nature and its role in strengthening peace and stability.

 

ACSF believes in democratic principles, people's participation and is committed to:
  • Empowering the Afghan population
  • Embracing the diversity of civil society actors
  • Striving for inclusiveness in processes and actions
  • Emphasizing non-partisanship, transparency and accountability
  • Promoting a sense of voluntarism and social activism

I have spent a lifetime in the mirrors of exile

busy absorbing my reflection

Listen —

I come from the unending conflicts of wisdom

I have grasped the meaning of nothingness
