Afghan National Association for Adult Education (ANAFAE)

Founded in 2005, the Afghan National Association for Adult Education (ANAFAE) is a national non-governmental organisation deeply committed to adult learning, literacy, vocational training and civic education in Afghanistan. As DVV International’s valued partner, ANAFAE has been instrumental in shaping and delivering inclusive adult-learning opportunities across multiple provinces.

ANAFAE’s strengths lie in its wide reach, context-sensitivity and strong network, linking adult education centres, collaborating with government ministries (such as the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Labour, and Ministry of Women’s Affairs), and tailoring programmes for diverse groups including women, youth and marginalised communities. Together, ANAFAE and DVV International ensure that the vision of lifelong learning, as articulated by DVV, is grounded in local realities and human stories.
