“In summer 2017, I got the chance to work as research intern with PRSO, and currently I work as the Civic Engagement Officer of the organization. In my experience with PRSO, I found it a prestigious youth-led research center in Afghanistan, with a large team of creative researchers working on various issues such as; Women and Youth Empowerment, Conflict and Peace Studies, Culture and Pluralism, Governance and Rule of Law, also Economic and Trade Development. ÌýAs far as I am concerned, quality researches that PRSO conducts can serve well the policy makers, practitioners, academics and the Afghanistan government with the evidence based and well-informed decision-making.Ìý As member of the team, facilitating the partnership between Â鶹´«Ã½ and PRSO makes me feel proud, and am looking forward to working with both institutions more passionately.â€
