The purpose of Afghanistan’s “Accessible and Quality Basic Education in Afghanistan” (AQBE) activity, hereinafter referred to as the “Activity”, is to improve safe, equitable access to quality learning for primary school aged girls and boys and secondary school aged.

USAID/Afghanistan aims to support programs that can advance this purpose through phased, flexible, adaptive and holistic delivery of results.

This Activity seeks to achieve this purpose by focusing on four result areas:
1) Improved delivery of quality instruction in foundational skills and delivery of support for student well-being by educators; 2) Reinforced community school management and family engagement to sustain access to safe public and community-based education; 3) Increased transition rate of community-based education (CBE) students into public schools; and 4) Sustained secondary education engagement and learning opportunities for adolescent girls.

Achievement of results under this Activity will rely heavily on early and continuous engagement with community leaders and parents.

The Activity result areas thus form a framework for phased and mutually reinforcing interventions to support educators, parents, and community members to ensure children can continue learning safely.
