Afghanistan Electoral Reform and Civil Advocacy
In August 2011, whilst all eyes were focused on the future of Libya, TCC was contributing to the building of democracy and governance in Afghanistan; another country which still faces conflict and many other challenges. TCC Chairman Jonathan Upton was invited by Democracy International to travel to its capital Kabul to contribute to the development of civil society groups in Afghanistan and in particular help launch one to consider the issue of electoral reform. The aim was to establish a local Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) called Afghanistan Electoral Reform and Civil Advocacy (AERCA).
Making democracy work in Afghanistan
On his return to the UK, Jonathan Upton said:
- “I was very pleased to be able to work with Democracy International to contribute to the launch of AERCA and hope there will be further opportunities to assist with the development of democracy and governance in Afghanistan and other countries facing similar challenges.”[2]
