NSP assists Afghan communities to identify, plan, manage and monitor their own reconstruction and community development projects. Strategies include the establishment of Community Development Councils (CDC) through secret ballot election, instituting a system of direct block grant transfers to support the rehabilitation/ development activities of CDCs, capacity building activities to enhance the competence of communities for financial assistance, and evaluating the programme outputs by them. NSP established a framework for the village level consultative decision making and representative local leadership as a basis for interaction with the communities, government administrations and aid agencies.

BRAC has implemented projects in the categories of reconstruction, rehabilitation and development intervention. These development projects basically include Karez cleaning, boring well, tube-well, road construction, bridge and culvert, canal for irrigation, protection and retaining wall, power supply, public bath, schools, income generation, etc.
