Funding and Support

Our initiatives have been financially supported by the RD-Foundation Vienna, as well as through additional contributions from private Afghan entrepreneurs abroad. The Austrian government provides diplomatic, legal, and security support whenever necessary. We also benefit from the longstanding commitment and support of Transfer Project Vienna TWTK.

Our deep-rooted relationship with the Afghan people, coupled with our extensive experience in diplomacy, mediation, and crisis management, forms the bedrock of our work on the Vienna Process. As the Vienna Process evolves, so does our core group, with an increasing number of Afghan participants contributing both organizationally and financially. This growth ensures that our efforts remain true to the principle of Afghan leadership.

Our central message is one of openness and adaptability, with a steadfast focus on Afghan leadership. The Vienna Core Group is outreach-oriented, striving to build a network that unites Afghans around the principles of democracy and inclusivity. Our ultimate goal is to create a network that embodies these values, fostering a future where all Afghans can live in peace and freedom.
