PAIWASTOON together with the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Communications and IT, USAID Afghanistan Small and Medium Enterprise Development (ASMED) and Roshan are working together to improve education and bring new opportunities for economic development through low cost computing and computer literacy for Afghanistan's future workforce. 5,000 localized laptops with Dari and Pashto content will be deployed to public schools across the country during first months of 2009.
This innovative partnership, a USAID Global Development Alliance, brings together expertise and other diverse resources from the public, private, and NGO sectors, linking international organizations to local implementers. PAIWASTOON is responsible for the technical implementation of the project. We have developed Dari and Pashtu translations of the software, training materials and user guides, we are providing open source software expertise, developing new software applications and undertaking research into economic development opportunities.
