Afghanistan

The growth of an independent media sector in Afghanistan stands out as a vital achievement along the difficult path towards peace and prosperity.  Within this context, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) – recognizing that a robust, independent broadcast media sector is an essential component of any thriving democracy – is supporting media development in Afghanistan to promote the free exchange of information and ideas vital to the democratic process, development of civil society, economic growth, and other aspirations of the Afghan people.
