Afghan Peace Watch

Afghan Peace Watch (APW) is a non-profit organization focused on delivering credible information and research on security, political violence, civic activism, human rights violations, humanitarian efforts, and strategic developments in Afghanistan. APW enhances access to credible information in Afghanistan and promotes peace through conflict resolution, media reporting, research, advocacy, accountability, and humanitarian support.  The organization has been documenting security and violence incidents in Afghanistan since February 2020. Following the Taliban’s takeover in August 2021, media and research organizations face strict censorship, making access to accurate information extremely difficult. To collect credible data from the ground in Afghanistan, APW uses a unique methodology, maintains a network of reporters all across the country, and draws information from around 238 sources in all 34 provinces.
