Mustafa Babak

Executive Director, Afghan-American Foundation

Mustafa is an international development expert with over 17 years of multidisciplinary experience in public sector reform and governance, global health, policy research and advocacy. Prior to moving to the US in 2011, Mustafa advised the Afghan and the U.S. governments, and international partners on key development issues including counter narcotics, health, and local governance. As part of his global health work, Mustafa has worked with the World Bank and other partners to advance health systems reforms and security in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia.

Mustafa has also been a leading voice for community empowerment and constituency building in the Afghan diaspora. This passion led him help establish the Afghan-American Foundation in 2020 as a national advocacy organization committed to advancing the voices of the Afghan-American diaspora, and earlier this year transitioned as its Executive Director. Mustafa holds a BA from the University of the Pacific and an MPA in Global Public Administration received jointly from New York University and the University College London.
