The WEE-NPP is a national program. It will operate in all
34 provinces, though the sequencing of its roll-out and
the specific mix of activities will vary across Afghanistans
diverse regions.
The program is characterized by high levels of
voluntarism. Community-level programs will begin
operating only after Community Development Councils
have made a formal request to their provincial councils.
Women-focussed programs funded by civil society
organizations are welcome to join the national and
provincial coordination meetings.
Status
An overall design document for the WEE-NPP has been
completed and shared within government and with
donors. Technical documents for the design of the six
components are in various stages of completion, with
most planning to meet the December cut-off date for
Steering Committee review. Only components that are
ready to go will be included in the 2017 budget.
