By Sardar Mohammad Kohistani - Nation-building in Afghanistan means integration of and capacitybuilding for different groups of society left behind and vulnerable after many years of war. The available human resources are insufficient, the heterogeneous level of education, differences in ideology, salary, citizenship among government and administrative staff can challenge the process of nationbuilding. This process of integration and capacity-building in government institutions is understood here as "mental nation-building".
