This document discusses community-based development approaches in Afghanistan. It provides two case studies of projects implemented using the People's Process methodology in Afghanistan. The first case study describes a community upgrading project in an informal settlement in Jalalabad that strengthened local governance and improved infrastructure over time as trust developed between social organizers and the community. The second case study outlines a road project involving five rural communities that initially stalled due to tensions between two of the communities, but was able to proceed after social organizers facilitated reconciliation discussions. The document emphasizes the importance of social organizers developing trust and understanding community dynamics to effectively facilitate participatory processes.
