The attack on the office of Alisei in Qalaye Naw, capital of Badghis province, caused no casualties, but comes after five aid workers were killed in Badghis last week.
Sunday night's blast prompted the agency and four other foreign non-governmental organisations to suspend operations in Badghis, a foreign aid official said.
The Nobel Peace Prize-winning aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders) has already suspended its its operations in Afghanistan after three of its European and two Afghan staff were killed in Badghis last Wednesday.
