INFLUENCE OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY THINKING APPROACHES IN POVERTY ELIMINATION – CASE OF AFGHANISTAN

Multidisciplinary thinking approaches, or holistic thinking, provides a unique opportunity to gain knowledge and solve chronic issues that come from a range of different subjects through the deeper understanding of patterns that are common between different complex issues. This type of thinking is important when dealing with complex problems like poverty elimination, or socioeconomic stability in a country that just came out of 40 years of war, like Afghanistan. In this research, we investigate how multidisciplinary thinking approaches would address the new Afghanistan basic needs and enhance its capacity to address the needs of the poor and the vulnerable.
