CRSS has now become an Energy Analysis Center for Afghanistan, as the center is generating and interpreting information to inform a wide range of stakeholders (including governments and international institutions) about energy-related issues prevalent in Afghanistan. Through this, CRSS has not only involved the Afghan youth but is also successfully playing a strong role in bridging the gap in Pak-Afghan relations and providing a holistic overview of the opportunities present in the energy sector of Afghanistan.

Thank you so much for giving me the privilege to be a part of Afghan Studies Center’s youth dialogues and Pak-Afghan Youth Alumni Musical Evening organized by CRSS & ASC. It was such a wonderful & amazing gathering where everyone enjoyed a lot.
I thank Afghan Studies Center for letting us – the youth – share our opinions regarding the two Muslim neighboring countries – Pakistan and Afghanistan. I want to thank all of the people who were involved in putting together the reunion. I can understand what a huge effort it requires to organize such a great event. I had such a good experience and a lot of fun from the beginning till the end.
