AECSLAN, founded in 2013 is a national network of Afghan non-governmental, non-political and not for profit organizations that was established to help in the social and economic development and contribute to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of Afghanistan. The network has been established by youth (male and female) lead CSOs after completion of Counterpart international Initiative to Promote Afghan Civil Society program, called Afghan Civil Society Emerging Leaders. The Emerging Leaders program was an initiative designed to identify, introduce and support 34 civil society emerging leaders across Afghanistan by pairing them with a seasoned civil society mentor over a six month period. The program provided trainings which focused on civic activism, leadership, communication, public relation and advocacy, and constituency building. Additionally, networking/exposure visits throughout Afghanistan enabled the participants to meet with civil society leaders, media, and members of parliament, government officials and international organizations. The program providedthe opportunity for the 34 Civil Society Emerging Leaders to interact with current civil society leaders and activists and facilitated exchange of ideas among participants and the broader civil society community of Afghanistan by bringing together like-minded individuals working to create positive change within their communities and the country.
