The Department of State’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is offering this grant to enhance legal education and professional development in Afghanistan. This grant is for the purpose of strengthening the Afghan legal sector by improving access to quality education for aspiring justice professionals, emphasizing practical skills and critical thinking. The project complements ongoing INL programs by working with Afghan universities and US law schools. Specific objectives include refining the four-year Bachelor of Art and Law degree program at AUAF, improving the legal studies curriculum, and developing original textbooks. Ultimately, the initiative aims to transition the law department’s funding and administration entirely to AUAF, fostering sustainable growth within Afghanistan’s justice education system.
