Enhancing Safe, Inclusive, and Quality Learning Opportunities and WASH Basic Services for Children, Adolescents, and Youth in Afghanistan’s Underserved Areas in 8 Provinces

GRID’s role, together with NYU colleague Ramesh Raghavan, is conducting a comprehensive study throughout the project cycle to assess the impact of learning delivery and access to educational environments on the well-being of children, adolescents, and youth. Our study evaluates the effectiveness of project activities in enhancing job opportunities and overall well-being, including mental health and socialization. The findings will inform adaptive programming to meet participants’ evolving needs and improve long-term outcomes. Norwegian Afghanistan Committee (NAC) will conduct pre-, mid-, and post-evaluations for at least 10% of the target group over 36 months, with data collection led by NAC’s International Research and Education Specialist and community mobilizers. Partnering universities will analyze the data, and findings will be published in international journals and presented at the Government Media Information Centre (GMIC).
