Enhancing staff capabilities in project...

At ACBAR, we believe that strengthening staff capacity is not only an investment in professional development — it is an investment in delivering stronger, more effective, and lasting impact.
In partnership with Afghanistan Project Management Center (APMC), an authorized partner of Project Management Institute (PMI), our staff successfully completed a comprehensive 45-hour PMP Exam Preparation Course covering the full project lifecycle from initiation to closure.
More than a training, it was a shared journey of learning and growth, equipping our teams with stronger skills, fresh perspectives, and greater confidence to deliver impactful work.
We are proud of our colleagues, including those who couldn’t be pictured bellow, for their dedication and thankful to everyone who made this learning opportunity possible. Together, we continue to grow, learn, and serve our members in support of our vision of effective NGOs and stronger communities.
