On 14 February 2002 a seminar on Afghanistan was organised jointly by VOICE and EuronAid. The two NGO networks, respectively working in the sectors of Humanitarian Aid and Food Aid/Food Security represent more than 100 European NGOs working in the humanitarian and development sector. More than 50 NGOs working in Afghanistan participated in the seminar. The immediate objective of this seminar was to discuss the EC strategy for Afghanistan and the role of NGOs in the implementation of the strategy. The seminar aimed to look at added values of the NGOs, their experiences and expertise in the implementation of the EC strategy. The ultimate objective of the seminar, however, was to strengthen the relationship between the EC and the NGOs on the basis of dialogue and mutual exchange of experience and information.
