Posted on at


The Afghan-American Chamber of Commerce (AACC), founded in 2002, is the leading organization facilitating U.S.-Afghanistan business, investment, and trade ties. AACC serves the interests of its members through its programs, advocates for a market economy in Afghanistan. It  promotes the exchange of information and provides resources to members through investment conferences, seminars, networking events, publications, and Working Groups to stimulate U.S.-Afghanistan business and investment.

Since the Taliban regime collapsed in 2001, Afghanistan had a rapid growth in Economy. For a developing country like Afghanistan, working on Economical issues will be a great chance to lead the society into a sustainable situation, while for having a peaceful country supporting community in financial aspect is very important. Investing on the national projects with sustainability guarantee will provide job opportunities for people, It supports national products. Afghanistan government should encourage business people to create strategic business models to grow Afghanistan Economy.

The 8th annual conference is held in Washington DC for the purpose of providing opportunities for Afghan firms and to improve business relationships. This year Roya Mahboob, a young Afghan female entrepreneur, who is the founder of Afghan Citadel Software Company participated in this conference as well.

 

Roya Mahboob  and her partner in Film Annex are taking great steps to support and empower Afghan women not only in education but in economy as well by building Internet classroom in Afghanistan and providing social media curriculum.

School girls will learn how to use social media networking platforms and build their own profiles, they will start writing blogs and sharing it with others, therefore based on their Buzz Score they will get paid. In this way we encourage female students to be more active and build their own financial state.

Considering all these projects in Afghanistan, the next step is to expand our vision about Examer software  for Bangladesh, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and the rest of Central Asia and connect all the students in a unique platform.
