ARADA was established by a group of profoundly experienced, professional and dedicated Afghan development practitioners during the dire refugee circumstances in Peshawar, Pakistan on the 1st May, 1992. In Afghanistan, ARADA was officially registered in 2003 with the Ministry of Planning and in 2006 with the Ministry of Economy. ARADA has three remarkable decades of experience in development assistance and services to vulnerable people in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Being one of the pioneer NGOs in Afghanistan, ARADA has excellent track record of working with international donors including numerous UN agencies and the Afghan Community.
