The Global Connections and Exchange Program in Afghanistan increases global dialog and educational opportunities by installing modern computer equipment with Internet access in schools, and to develop training and learning projects for teachers and students. Through the program, Afghan students participate in online educational activities with their peers in the United States that foster collaboration and build mutually beneficial relationships. This is supported by face-to-face exchanges in which Afghans visit the United States.

Funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) at the US Department of State, the project has established Internet Learning Hubs in schools in Kabol (Kabul), Nangarhar, Takhar, and Samangan provinces of Afghanistan. These schools and their partner schools encompass a population of almost forty thousand students!
