To reduce poverty throughout provision of livelihood, education and capacity building programs on community level, CAHPO equally focus on girls’ and boys’ education and youth participation those are the future of country and have key role in poverty reduction.

CAHPO is committed to improve the capacity of human resources within the country that ensure participation of women in rehabilitation of Afghanistan. So that men and women resume full responsibilities toward developmental activities for both improvements of themselves and their country.
The core part of developmental activities that lead to achieve selected goals is professionalism. CAHPO is in the process to change its direction toward developmental activities where empowerment of the community and the sustainability of the projects are ensured. Therefore, CAHPO being as local NGO strives to implement its activities and provide services that ensure professionalism. We are committed to endeavor to the values that are essential to the development of human resources and economic growth of the county. We believe that it is steady process and we struggle to achieve the highest standards both in our office environment and in our projects in the field.
one of the important elements in shaping Afghanistan political and social scenario has been cultural values which are miss-interpreted by those having influence in community. CAHPO as a non-governmental organization is committed to respect people’s perceptions and at the same time try to 7 convince them for a positive change that is critical for their social and economic wellbeing. This policy has given strength to CAHPO to work in the grassroots level and get community’s trust and cooperation.
in the context of Afghanistan advocacy and networking is one of the important tools for mobilizing the community and networking with other stakeholders for bringing positive changes in the status and behavior of Afghan community including men and women. CAHP also sees networking a practical way to reach larger groups of people and share experience with like-minded organizations. We believe that mobilizing Afghan community for change is possible but requires time, patience and hard work.
Finally, in order to track progress and enhance learning and quality, an effective system of monitoring and evaluation that includes assessment of on-the-ground results is needed, developing such a monitoring and evaluation system is possible when CAHPO has the required budget. However, CAHPO monthly, quarterly and annual reports prepare the ground for the timely correction of the challenges during implementation of the projects. Thus giving CAHPO an overview of the progress made in project sites on implementation of the planned activities in line with CAHPO program strategy. We also conduct annual general assembly where CAHPO overall activities are presented to the staff members who then give their comments on the improvement of activities.
Additionally, CAHPO management and project staff physically monitor project activities to identify barriers and solve them and comment on improvement of activities.
CAHPO’s technical and managerial staff obtained enough useful experiences from implementation of enormous program and will use it in future.
