Non-governmental organizations

As globalization and international trade impact societies, non-governmental organizations have become increasingly influential in world affairs. They are consulted by governments as well as international organizations like the United Nations which have created associative status for them. There are now thousands of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the world, operating in most countries. These organizations are not directly affiliated with any national government but often have a significant impact on the social, economic, and political activity of the country or region. Non-governmental organizations play a strategic role, their ability to adapt quickly to changes and to identify Community troubles, apart from their innovative potential, has placed them at a key point within the labor market. They have also grown as a consequence of the increase in unemployment and poverty that has forced men and women to enter this sector as a unique means of survival, rather than as a new labor opportunity.

The situation of the informal business sector including micro and medium enterprises was very poor in Afghanistan. Unlike other developing countries of Asia including India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, etc, the informal sector’s role in economic development and the need for promoting entrepreneur education are still contentious issues in Afghanistan. In a self-acclaimed democratic polity with a multitude of interest groups to satisfy, policymaking has often been reduced to an art of muddling through especially when such policies have second and third-order consequences in the long run.

Strengthening the informal sector means empowering the poor and therefore no or very little policymaking has been done and the existing support mechanisms are hardly of any use. As females are the most active part of the informal enterprise sector through their home-based or income-generation activities, this situation has resulted in creating huge obstacles to their empowerment. Infect a major puzzle of the labor market in Afghanistan is the invisibility of female labor force. This situation has worsened in the rural and marginalized district of the country.

Due to the lack of facilities and proper way of income generation due to these hurdles bulk of potentials and skill; end products of informal sector have vanished creating a huge gap in the local and national market. Against this backdrop the Government of Afghanistan, UN agencies and international community joined hands together to rebuild the infrastructure in promoting areas of Afghanistan with a vision to make it better then before. After a quick round of rehabilitation been initiated in every sphere of life, establishing sustainable sources of income is central to help people. Have income support and at the same time participate in rebuilding their lives. There are enough evidence available forms other developing countries which show that by increasing overall literacy

Through universal primary education, adult literacy, and by reducing drop-out rates for both boys and girls form primary schools, better human resources and skilled labor force is able to earn more. Both education and health initiatives put together will lead to better human resource development which in turn results in better productivity of the labor and in providing more job opportunities in both rural and urban areas, as well as male and female labor force. Overall health and nutritional conditions prevailing in a poor family also directly impacts its earning capacity. Policy interventions and Programme that promote disease prevention, better hygiene and sanitation, availability of clean drinking water, treatment of occupational health hazards and community diseases, mother and child care, etc will directly have a positive impact on the health and well being of the poor. While discussing the overall strategy and interventions to reduce extreme poverty.
