WHY THERE IS AN URGENT NEED FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN AFGHANISTAN?

Abstract

Afghanistan is a country in South-Central Asia. Afghanistan is bordered by Pakistan in the South and East; Iran in the West; Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the North; and in the Far Northeast, China is a neighboring country. Due to its historical and economic importance, Afghanistan has suffered from wars, political and social turmoil, and this problem remains unresolved. The problems of Afghanistan must be solved urgently. In this study, the problems seen in Afghanistan have examined and concrete solutions have been proposed regarding the sustainable development that can be implemented. However, implementing Sustainable Development is not as easy as it might be thought. There are some practical challenges and, as a first step, these challenges need to be resolved through informed discussions and information sharing on existing platforms. The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of Sustainable Development in Afghanistan.
