This proposal is for a strategy paper that explores how Monero adoption can be increased in Afghanistan. It will be split into three parts, that sum up to roughly 15-30 pages. The aim of the first chapter is to increase the general Afghanistan expertise in the Monero community.

To estimate the potential for Monero adoption in Afghanistan, we need to gather a few basic facts about the country. We assume that remote work and remittances are among the biggest opportunities for Monero adoption. Therefore it is important to understand how remittances currently work in Afghanistan. To better understand the potential for remote work, it is important to quantify internet access, english language proficiency and skills relevant for remote work.

In the second chapter we will take a more indepth look at the barriers that currently keep Afghans from working remotely. Compared to the first chapter we seek a more qualitative approach. We assume that establishing trust with western employers is one of the biggest issues. Especially while maintaining privacy from the authorities and neighbors.

Another goal of the second chapter will be to explore if there is a possibility for a local p2p monero to cash market. It would be very beneficial if the group of people that needs to transmit money abroad could be connected with the remote workers that are in need of cash.

A circular economy like this could be especially helpful for areas where services like moneygram and western union aren't available.
