Synopsis (short abstract) Afghanistan has a long history of technical cooperation with the Organization. Today the Afghanistan country programme is one of FAO’s largest in the Asia and Pacific region. Ongoing projects cover household food and livelihood security; animal health and transboundary diseases; small-scale integrated dairy schemes; irrigation rehabilitation and water management; value chain development; soil mapping and national agriculture ecological zoning; and development of research policy and strategy. In addition to developing a five-year strategic plan for the Afghanistan’s Independent Land Authority, FAO has also recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with UNICEF, WFP and the Office of the Chief Executive of Afghanistan for supporting the implementation of the Afghanistan Food Security and Nutrition Agenda. A road map for the localization of SDGs related to agriculture and natural resource management has also been developed.

    By agreeing on the Country Programming Framework (CPF) for the period 2012-2015, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations confirm their alliance in striving for agricultural and rural development, food security and natural resource development through mutual collaboration and a strong partnership. The CPF is the joint response from FAO and the Government to agricultural and food security challenges in the context of the Transition Process that follows the Kabul Conference. It defines priorities for FAO and Government collaboration and results (outcomes and outputs) to be achieved over the period 2012-2015, which are based on the National Priority Programmes (NPPs) and its priorities adopted by the inter-ministerial Agriculture and Rural Development Cluster and endorsed by JCMB. The CPF generates opportunities for partnerships and resource mobilization. It is fully aligned with the United Nations Developm ent Assistance Framework (UNDAF) 2010-2013 and the Integrated Strategic Framework (ISF) for the period July 2011 to December 2012, of which FAO is a signatory and active participant, and contributes to preparation of new UNDAF 2014-2018. Its situation analysis and review of national strategies represent key inputs to the Common Country Assessment (CCA). The CPF outlines a strategic approach to country-level Programming, contributing to the improvement of the living conditions of the Afghans by p romoting a society free from hunger and malnutrition. The Government pursues all this by aiming at higher economic growth, food security, improved natural resource management, poverty eradication and better national security, in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable manner.
