text: workers, traditional birth attendants, educators and vaccinators. Such training must in large part be effected by women and on an outreach basis. 6. All proposed projects should take into account the present needs of Afghanistan. They should be planned to be implemented in Afghanistan even if they have to be initiated in a neighbouring country. 7. Any project implemented in Afghanistan should be linked with existing structures or institutions. Where required, these institutions should be reinforced, with the view that they will eventually assume alone the responsibility to run the services. 8. Many of the recommendations in this paper are for education aimed at prevention and for early detection and treatment of conditions which cause disabilities. 4 Emphasis is placed on these measures not only because they are important but because there are structures in place both in Pakistan and inside Afghanistan which can immediately be strengthened in order to prevent disabilities. Prevention of disabilities will decrease the social and economic strain which disabilities can cause for families and communities. * * * * * 25 BHU CADA CHW EPI ICRC ILO MAP MAT MCT NGO NWFP TB UN UNESCO UNHCR UNICEF WHO List of acronyms Basic Health Unit Committee on Assistance to Disabled Afghans Community Health Worker Expanded Programme for Immunization International Committee of the Red Cross International Labour Organisation Mine Awareness Programme Medical Aid Training Mine Clearance Training Non-Governmental Organization North West Frontier Province Tuberculosis United Nations UN Educational, Scientific and cultural Organization Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees UN Children's Fund World Health Organization * * * * * 26
