name: Afghan German Basic Education
text: Basic Education for Afghan Refugees came into being with the agreement between the German Agency for Technical Cooperation of the German government and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in order to provide basic education for Afghan refugee children and adults in their camps in Pakistan.
  
  However in May 1996, during the ZOPP-V workshop for the prolongation of the phasing out period of the organisation in Pakistan, it was also agreed to recognize AG BAS-Ed as an independent NGO, responsible for activities and programs in Afghanistan.
  
  Since 1st June 1996, AG BAS-Ed has emerged as an independent NGO with its main office in Peshawar and area offices in Nangrahar, Khost and Kunar provinces of Afghanistan.
  
  The general objective of the Afghan German Basic Education (AG BAS-Ed) is its participation in the rehabilitation and rebuilding of the educational system in Afghanistan where the entire educational system has been completely destroyed or severely damaged due to protracted warfare. Of course, rehabilitation of all these ruined educational systems is beyond the power of the Afghan government in the short term. However, given that NGOs can play a catalyst role in rehabilitating educational systems they support the building of schools, providing of teachers training and learning materials. AG BAS-Ed sincerely wishes to meet the requirements for basic education for Afghan children in order to play its responsible role in this respect. The organization has identified the following five areas as its specific objectives for the realization of which it strives:
  
  Teachers trained to work with materials produced by AG BAS-Ed and other organizations on learner centered basis.
  Students/learners and teachers are provided with appropriate teaching/learning and training materials. 
  Literacy skills acquired by male and female participants. 
  Females are offered knowledge about Mother and Child Health (MCH). 
  Management competence for the project on different levels is strengthen.
