The Aga Khan Development Network, which has been supporting humanitarian assistance and rehabilitation in Afghanistan since 1995, works for the common good of all citizens, regardless of their gender, origin or religion. In all its activities, AKDN is guided by Islam's ethic of compassion for those less fortunate. At the same time, the Islamic ethic discourages a culture of dependency, lest it undermine a person's dignity. AKDN's ultimate aim, therefore, is to help the poor achieve a level of self-reliance whereby they are able to plan their own livelihoods and help those even more needy than themselves. Its programs in Afghanistan come under a comprehensive development agreement signed by His Highness the Aga Khan and President Hamid Karzai.

Le 26 mai 2004, cinq membres d'ONG sont tués dans une embuscade au nord-ouest de l’Afghanistan. Le 16 juillet 2004, une roquette tombe près d'un collège visité quelques minutes plus tard par le président Hamid Karzaï. Les Talibans revendiquent l'attentat. Le 29 août 2004 à Kaboul, un attentat à la voiture piégée fait au moins 12 morts et une trentaine de blessés. Les Talibans visaient l'entreprise de sécurité américaine Dyncorps, qui s’occupe de la protection du président afghan Hamid Karzaï.
