Learn about Center for Afghanistan and Regional Studies happenings and keep up-to-date with developments in Afghanistan.
After its founding in 1972, the Center for Afghanistan Studies (CAS) has been a center of academic research, capacity building, foreign policy development and recommendations, training, and promoting awareness about Afghanistan. With a rich history of diverse projects and partnerships in Afghanistan, the Center has expanded its vision and mission to include countries in the region of Central Asia and South Asia (CASA).
The Center has led higher education development projects in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, India, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Multiple projects and grants are active across the region. With a broader regional scope reflecting current and future engagements, it was decided to rename the Center as the Center for Afghanistan and Regional Studies (CARS), keeping its legacy of more than 50 years.
The Center for Afghanistan and Regional Studies prides itself on being “UNO’s primary hub for academic capacity development programs, research, and activities on Afghanistan and the region of Central Asia and South Asia, CASA."
