Increasing Capacity of the Parw?n University Faculty of Journalism

Establishment of a photographic laboratory and radio studio for the Parw?n university faculty of journalism to increase educational opportunities and support higher education for future journalists

Challenges

A better future is created through better education, and applied education is the best way to prepare young people for the professional life. Long periods of instability in Afghanistan have led to a lack of investment in education infrastructure. This challenge is affecting all levels of education, including universities, and is detrimental not only to the future of individual students, but also to the socioeconomic development of the country. This project meets the needs of Parw?n University in terms of technical infrastructure and materials, contributing to overcoming the obstacles that hamper the development of applied education in Afghanistan.

Toward a Solution

In order to help tackle these challenges, the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (T?KA) established a photographic laboratory and a radio studio in the Faculty of Communication and Journalism of Parw?n University in Kabul, equipping them with the latest technologies. The project was carried out in the form of a grant by T?KA. 

The project aims to provide journalism students with practical knowledge and experience on which to build their careers and enable them to progress to higher levels of the media and journalism industries. It also aims to provide students with the opportunity to increase and broaden their journalism skills. Considering the importance of practical education and the latest technology in all fields of broadcasting, the radio studio and photographic laboratory are expected to make significant contributions to the training of qualified personnel at the university level for the media sector.

Contributing towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 (Quality Education), this project was carried out in line with the demand and guidance of the partner institution (Parw?n University). In accordance with the goal of increasing the professional and technical skills that will contribute to employment, which is mentioned in SDG Target 4.4, the journalists of the future will receive practical training with the appropriate technical infrastructure. The project was initialized in accordance with the principle of ownership, which is one of the basic principles of the Istanbul Programme of Action (IPoA).  Local ownership and partner’s education expertise also ensures its sustainability. This project contributes to the framework of “Support least developed countries efforts to improve higher educational and technical and vocational education and training”, which is among the actions determined for development partners within the scope of IPoA Priority Area 5 (Human and social development).

Since this project is completely grant-based, it is important that the requesting partner has the technical knowledge to make local ownership and the infrastructure sustainable
