The Afghan Education Production Organization (AEPO) is a registered, not-for-profit Afghan NGO that
was originally established by the BBC World Service in 1994 to provide informative radio programming
to the population of Afghanistan who had little or no access to information and were living in a country
convulsed by war and forced exile. During that time, it was known as the Afghan Education Project
(AEP). In 2003, AEP became the media-for-development charity BBC Media Action’s (previously known
as BBC World Service Trust), implementing branch in Afghanistan. Over the years, AEP as an
organisation reached maturity and capability of becoming independent of BBC Media Action. In
February 2011, AEPO became an independent NGO registered with the Afghan government and
subsequently officially became independent from its former parent organisation, BBC Media Action, on
April 2, 2012.
As an independent organisation BBC World Service to continue to bring high-quality programming that
reaches widely to Afghan audiences and gives them information to improve their lives. AEPO, which has
been producing educational and entertaining radio programming for the past 30 years, is emblematic of
the Afghan experience: a group of Afghan radio producers in exile in Peshawar carried on the Afghan
oral tradition of storytelling through radio dramas on the BBC, using humour and entertainment as the
glue for social messaging and reaching Afghans of all ages and across borders. Since its return to Kabul in
2002, the organisation has gone from strength to strength, with around 80 full-time & around 120 part-
time staff and a wide portfolio of media outputs. The work of AEPO comprises productions from the
longest-running media-for-development initiative for Afghans run by Afghans. All AEPO programming is
broadcast in Dari and Pashto on the BBC World Service’s airwaves.
AEPO produces 16 high quality programs each week (8 in Dari and 8 in Pashto) and each program is
broadcast multiple times on the BBC airwaves, ensuring broad audience reach and optimum learning
outcomes. Programs include the flagship drama New Home, New Life, which reaches some 39% of
Afghan adults, and regular educational feature programs which reach up to 21% 1 . Overall, for a country
