Mission Statement
 

The Afghan-American Chamber of Commerce (AACC) is the leading organization facilitating U.S.-Afghan business, investment, and trade ties.  AACC serves the interests of its members through numerous programs, advocates for a free and open market economy in Afghanistan, and endeavors to strengthen U.S.-Afghan economic relations.  AACC works to ensure that Afghanistan’s economic development remains a priority for U.S. and Afghan policymakers and serves as a link between business and government to encourage progressive economic policies that will result in increased business and investment between the U.S. and Afghanistan.  It is the goal of AACC to promote the exchange of information and provide resources to members through investment conferences, seminars, networking events, publications, and other avenues to stimulate U.S.-Afghan business and investment. AACC is a growing national organization, bringing together companies, organizations, and individuals with a stake in helping Afghanistan succeed and developing opportunities in an emerging economy.

 

 

Strategies

 

Extensive and sustained efforts will be needed to achieve the challenging goals of establishing open-market economy and democratic values in Afghanistan. AACC in partnership with ABC, AA, and other pertinent groups and individuals will:


 
Strengthen the role of business associations in Afghanistan and promote sound corporate governance measures;
   
 
Create an Afghan National Business Agenda (ANBA);
   
 
Mobilize small and medium-sized enterprises to create the critical mass to drive the reforms stipulated in ANBA;
   
 
Reform institutional structures that create barriers to participation in the formal economy and democratic decision-making;
   
 
Create open systems of feedback to government including legislative hearing, regulatory review panels, and citizen advisory panels; and
   
 
Provide training for association leaders, businessmen, and businesswomen.
