Among the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the number 16 SDG lays emphasis on fostering societies that are peaceful and inclusive that will be achieved by curbing violence in all forms and shades. The Afghan government’s renewed focus on high level reconciliation and negotiations is aptly complemented by High Peace Council’s (HPC) efforts to cast the dream of bringing about peace into reality. These efforts are channelized through three tiers. First, at the national level, that is followed by sub-national level wherein the HPC and Joint Secretariat (JS) throws its weight in support of the former tier, while the last tier relates to the efforts at the grassroots which is by far the most significant of all. It is at the grassroots that communities are integrated into the whole process of bringing peace since it is they who are biggest victims of anarchy in the country. This is where the role of YSO comes into play to partake in the reintegration initiatives within the communities. All of our projects are carried out in support of the SDGs. YSO undertakes initiatives and promotes activities like inter-ethnic dialogue, do-no-harm approaches, and awareness of issues affecting women and human rights. Moreover, these efforts help in improving relations among and within the communities and with the stakeholders who are directly involved with serving the community such as local authorities, community elders, school and madrasah students, and teachers. We started these activities in 2018 and did Voluntarily in Nangarhar. Community support for YSO’s activities in the fields of education, health, and sustainable livelihoods have greatly aided the credibility and acceptance of our peace building activities and vice-versa. Following are some of the given Activities and their respective dates that are a clear manifestation of bringing sustainable peace in the country.
