Our Experts

Afghanistan’s rivers cross borders and connect millions of people across the region. This makes transboundary water management not just an environmental or economic issue, but a matter of regional stability, cooperation, and shared prosperity. At Afghan Trust Path Consultancy Services, we approach this subject with sensitivity, focusing on practical solutions and mutual benefits.

Our focus includes:

• Research & Evidence: Studying the flow, use, and impact of Afghanistan’s rivers in ways that highlight opportunities for joint management.

• Dialogue Support: Facilitating discussions that emphasize cooperation, trust, and mutual gain rather than competition.

• Sustainable Practices: Promoting strategies that balance upstream and downstream needs while ensuring environmental protection.

• Learning from Global Models: Drawing insights from international experiences, such as the Danube River Commission in Europe and the Mekong River Commission in Southeast Asia, where multiple countries collaborate to manage shared water resources peacefully and productively.

• Capacity Building: Supporting Afghan institutions in developing negotiation, technical, and monitoring skills to engage confidently in cooperative frameworks.

Why It Matters

Water can either be a source of tension or opportunity. By encouraging collaborative, transparent, and science-based approaches, Afghan Trust Path helps ensure that transboundary water becomes a bridge for cooperation, contributing to stability, economic growth, and resilience for Afghanistan and its neighbors alike.
