USIP has been working to promote peace and stability in Afghanistan since 2002 through programs designed to improve understanding of peaceful dispute resolution, advance peace education in schools and communities, enhance dialogue between leading Afghans and the international community, and promote the rule of law. USIP established an office in Kabul in 2008. This on the ground presence has greatly increased USIP's contact with and understanding of events, programs, and attitudes in Afghanistan, and has strengthened its capacity to execute innovative and effective programs in the country.

As the results of the October 3rd 2010 elections emerge and the new government takes shape, USIP remains committed to working with Bosnia and international actors to foster an environment that encourages economic growth, progress toward eventual European Union membership and a concerted effort at constitutional reform.

USIP has maintained an office in Baghdad since early 2004 and works to promote security and stability at community, regional and national levels. The Iraq program provides opportunities for dialogue among groups who might not ordinarily meet; we have trained and continue to develop a network of Iraqi facilitators; we support the growth of independent nongovernmental organizations, and we work with educators and government officials.
