Afghanistan does not lack ideas. It lacks coordination.

ISRAND is a permanent knowledge institution connecting Afghan expertise, diaspora talent, and international partners to build evidence-based, long-term development.

The Challenge

Systemic fragmentation is the real obstacle.

Afghanistan possesses immense potential — young talent, natural resources, a capable diaspora. The critical gap is not capacity. It is coordination.

Disconnected Plans

Institutions operate in silos, duplicating efforts and producing conflicting strategies. Innovation and true power lie in coordinated unity.

Scattered Data

Critical information remains siloed, preventing evidence-based decision-making at every level of governance.

Institutional Memory Loss

Valuable knowledge disappears with project cycles and staff rotations. Systems must remember — not individuals.

Short-Term Thinking

Urgent needs consistently overshadow long-term strategic planning, preventing sustainable progress.

Our Blueprint

Five pillars of coordinated action.

ISRAND's work is not consultancy — it is institution-building. We deliver through five integrated pillars designed for long-term, compounding impact.

01

Applied Research & Advisory

Evidence-based research and master plans grounded in local conditions and global best practices.

02

Policy & Strategic Planning

Designing realistic, phased, implementable development strategies that ensure balanced growth.

03

Capacity & Human Capital

Investing in training and mentorship to strengthen local institutions, ensuring progress is self-sustaining.

04

Knowledge & Dialogue

Acting as a bridge, convening forums to connect Afghan stakeholders with international specialists.

05

Governance & Systems

Building strong institutions through digital tools, data standards, and accountability frameworks.

Impact on the Ground

From blueprint to reality.
