As per the mandate of the organisation and our engagement in the country of origin in through our key programs, and being active as part of the diaspora lead organisation, provide BRD with a unique position to be  engaged in policy advocacy both in Sweden, EU and other UN bodies. The key agenda of BRD policy advocacy, before the collops of Afghanistan to hand ofTaliban, were focused on promoting human rights, inclusive development, and peace in Afghanistan, including the concerns, issues related to the Afghan refugees and migrants in Sweden at the EU in large. With our relevant knowledge and information from Afghanistan, through its advocacy BRD was effectively lobbying for more resources to address the real needs and priorities of Afghan people. BRD has also actively engaged in lobbying/advocacy for a policy to include Afghan Diasporas in the development cooperation and humanitarian action, including resources for capacity development of diasporas organization in policy advocacy, inclusivity of the afghan peace process and the commitment of the parties of conflict Afghanistan to protect culture heritage and respect Hague conventions and UN security council resolutions. After the collops of Afghanistan to hands of Taliban on 15 August 2021, BRD has reviewed its advocacy strategy, and priorities and included key issues and themes to be covered by our policy advocacy work are on the current needs of Afghan population for humanitarian assistance, protection, and resettlement, and repones of the international community to the human rights atrocities in Afghanistan.
