Supported by MSSRF, LANSA research uptake was initiated for the first time in Afghanistan in 2016. 

A stakeholder database was created for Afghanistan, and all engagement activities were recorded in the Uptake Stakeholder Engagement Log maintained by the LANSA RU team. 

Several stakeholders from Afghanistan acknowledged receipt of the e-Newsletter and appreciated being connected to the important work being done in the region. There were requests to be kept abreast of work in Afghanistan and remain connected with LANSA.
