“As the narratives of pessimism and doom prevail about the future of Afghanistan, alternate approaches to achieving peace and stability in the conflict ravaged country have hardly been explored. Much of the debate on transition (inteqal) in Afghanistan has been dominated by the security approach of the need to quell the Taliban led insurgency. Civilian capacity building, institution building, economic opportunities, trade, transit and investment that has the potential to transform the country from being an aid-dependent state to a self-sustaining economy, has received scant attention. As Afghanistan traverses a challenging path, the economic stabilisation will be critical to bring in long-term peace and stability.”                  Dr Shanthie Mariet D’Souza
