Starting at grade 7, female enrollments drop from more than 35 percent of the total to less than 28 percent, and continue to decline thereafter; in higher education, only about 20 percent of university entrants are female (MoE 2007). Afghan women become computer literate (left); a woman is trained in tailoring as part of the National Skills Development Program (right).

The objective of this particular Note is to influence policy and program design in order to increase girls' educational attainments, especially in higher secondary schools in rural areas, where female access to education is most limited. The lack of access to education for girls and women in Afghanistan is the result of a number of barriers, outlined below. In discussing these barriers, the Implementation Note will present a range of recommendations that can be used to improve education outcomes for girls and women.

Lack of trust among these upstream and downstream riparian partners and persistent failures of Track 1 diplomacy initiatives has led to an absence of governance mechanisms for mitigating the water security concerns in the region. This research shows that science and public diplomacy, democratic participation, and social learning may pave a way to clear local misconceptions, improve transboundary water cooperation, and increase ecological stewardship in the Kabul River Basin.
