Our Experts

Water is one of Afghanistan’s most valuable resources — essential for agriculture, livelihoods, energy, and stability. Yet, managing it effectively requires not only domestic planning and efficiency, but also regional cooperation and learning from global examples. At Afghan Trust Path Consultancy Services, we provide research, analysis, and advisory support to strengthen Afghanistan’s capacity in sustainable water management.

Our focus includes:

• Efficient Resource Use: Promoting technologies and practices that reduce waste and improve irrigation efficiency.

• Integrated Water Management: Supporting policies and programs that balance agricultural, industrial, and household needs.

• Transboundary Water: Offering evidence-based insights into cooperative frameworks, emphasizing dialogue, fairness, and mutual benefit.

• Climate Adaptation: Assessing how changing weather patterns affect water supply, and promoting solutions that build resilience.

• Global Learning: Drawing lessons from international successes, such as:

  • The Indus Waters Treaty (India–Pakistan) which has enabled cooperation for decades despite political tensions.

  • The Nile Basin Initiative (Africa) where riparian countries collaborate on shared water use.

  • Central Asia’s Amu Darya Basin cooperative mechanisms that balance upstream and downstream needs.
