Long-Term Recommendations • Long-Term and Strategic Support for HRDs in Exile ◊ Donor communities should offer flexible, accessible, and core funding mechanisms to HRDs in exile, enhancing their readiness, resilience, and sustainability. This support should cover a wide range of programme activities, including capacity building, advocacy efforts, legal assistance, and organisational support, enabling them to address the systematic and widespread human rights violations occurring inside Afghanistan. ◊ Given the gravity of the situation and human rights violations in Afghanistan, stakeholders, such as donor communities and INGOs, should introduce a joint-funding box or streams for Afghanistan. The fundbox should cover thematic human rights areas, such as documentation and emergency assistance for Afghanistan’s HRDs in exile and inside the country over a long-period of time. This should also include funding Afghanistan’s exiled established human rights organisations. ◊ Donors and INGOs should support exiled HRDs and organisations to adapt with their new environments in host countries, with efforts to reestablish their work and entities. This includes, among other things, providing support and consultation on navigating new language, administrative bureaucracy, legal advice, and expertise in re-strategising. It also includes connecting with relevant local NGOs and human rights entities, not only for solidarity purposes but also supporting exiled HRDs in reestablishing their organisations and integration issues. 30 ◊ Donors and INGOs should allocate budget lines for team building, networking, and knowledge sharing between Afghanistan’s exiled HRDs and other human rights movements in exile. ◊ Donors and host countries, in collaboration with INGOs, should create more fellowships and academic programmes for Afghanistan’s HRDs in exile to enable them attain training on human rights, and share their knowledge with their counterparts and defenders within Afghanistan. • Create a Space for Knowledge and Capacity Sharing ◊ INGOs and donors should facilitate the exchange of knowledge among various groups of exiled Afghanistan’s HRDs, diaspora groups, and those still in Afghanistan, as well as HRDs from other conflict-affected regions beyond Afghanistan. For example, it should include and facilitate peerlearning from other HRDs working in similar countries where the civic space is closed or highly repressed. This examines how HRDs operate in various contexts and how those inside and outside the country communicate, share knowledge, and exchange updates. The experiences of HRDs from countries like Iran, Russia, and Myanmar, among others, would be particularly relevant in this regard.
