CUSAP, the Campaign for a US-Afghanistan Partnership, has 9 pillars by which they function. As a nonprofit organization founded by Hamed Wardak and others, they have American and Afghan members, and they work to create a sustainable peace and prosperity for Afghanistan. Two of their 9 pillars include generating a sustainable economic base and uniting leadership.
Generate a Sustainable Economic Base
CUSAP and Hamed Wardak want the United States to help Afghanistan to rebuild its traditional economic base and to develop its wealth of natural resources. Only in this way can Afghanistan have a sustainable economic base and ensure that military-aged men can support their families and build Afghanistan.
United Leadership
According to CUSAP, the United States can help Afghanistan to build a successful government by encouraging Afghan leaders to engage with local and tribal leaders. This will ensure local support and will recognize the important of the tribal system for creating peace in Afghanistan.
