Assistance to the Afghanistan Independent Bar Association (AIBA) promotes justice and rule of law in Afghanistan.  This project is designed to help AIBA establish regional offices in the Balkh, Herat, Nangarhar, and Kandahar in order reach to lawyers based in those provinces and surrounding regions.  In order to increase lawyers’ capacity to represent clients effectively, the project provides training on the right to a criminal defense and the attorney’s code of conduct.  The project also aims to strengthen AIBA’s central office in Kabul, in particular improving the capacity and transparency of AIBA’s accounting, finance, procurement and administrative personnel system.
