About
In response to the increasing unemployment levels and decreasing recruitment opportunities for qualified professionals in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Work and Social Affairs has taken a proactive stance to allow private recruitment companies to dispatch and hire Afghan workers for labor in countries with a demand for workers.
This decision has proved to be a game-changer for the private sector. Since 2007, private recruitment companies in Afghanistan gained experience to provide better services to professionals. As a result, the Association of Private Recruitment Companies in Afghanistan (APRCA) was formed in 2010.
The Association participated in a regional conference held on 02.03.2014 in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, and received conference membership, which was highly appreciated by the Ministry of Work and Social Affairs and Labor International organizations.
