Our full-time Fellows bring more than one hundred years of experience working on the
ground in Afghanistan. Some have been working on the ground in the region since 1978.
They include a long-serving director of the AREU, Afghanistan's leading
indigenous research organization, the former Afghanistan or Pakistan Directors of Mercy
Corps, Oxfam, and Save the Children, and the Deputy Head of the European Union mission
and the head of the UN Assistance Mission to Afghanistan's political section. Fellows
have briefed many senior members of the U.S. administration including Ambassador Richard
Holbrooke and Generals Petraeus and McChrystal and have testified at numerous Senate and
Congressional hearings. Their op-eds, television appearances, and research papers have
had significant contributions to policy debate. All play an active role in teaching and
research at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
