Abstract

Collection of interviews and observations of CARD-F stakeholders carried out as part of the GCRF Drugs and (dis)order project in the borderlands of Nangarhar and Badakshan, Afghanistan (grant ES/P011543/1). The aim was to carry out an organisational ethnography of the Afghanistan Comprehensive Agriculture and Rural Development Facility (CARD-F), a UK DFID funded programme implemented in Nangarhar and Badakshan from 2009 to 2018 to provide economic alternatives to opium poppy cultivation and increase production of high-value alternative agricultural products.

Interviews were carried out with CARD-F programme staff in Kabul, implementing partners, provincial government officials, private investors, and direct and indirect beneficiaries of CARD-F at district and village levels.

Sixty semi-structured interviews and one focus group discussion were carried out by the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU) in Kabul, Nangarhar and Badakshan.
