    Improving food security for households in Afghanistan - GCP/AFG/072/LUX 2017

    The project sought to build the capacity of Afghanistan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock and other organizations to provide the necessary support to the vulnerable and food insecure farming households. The chronic lack of reliable information on household sources of livelihoods, demographics and coping strategies was also tackled, as this has had a direct impact on the quality and effectiveness of appropriate interventions and targeting. Given the gender imbalance in Afghanist an’s agriculture sector, targeted efforts were made towards female farmers and female-headed farm households.

    Support to Household Food and Livelihood Security in Afghanistan - GCP/AFG/088/LUX 2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Despite significant reconstruction efforts, Afghanistan is faced by a range of social and economic development challenges as a result of nearly five decades of devastating civil strife and climate-induced disasters. The Household Food and Livelihood Security (HFLS) project in Char Asyab, Jabal Seraj, Mohammad Agha and Qarghayi districts aimed to address malnutrition, poverty and rural deprivation by empowering communities and strengthening livelihoods. A core aspect of the project was its community-based approach, which empowered local social mobilizers to provide effective, on-demand extension services to vulnerable populations. This became particularly crucial as the de facto authorities became unable to offer extension support to rural agricultural systems. The project continued to support female-owned and -operated livelihoods by working through community-based structures. The project also strengthened the technical capacity of the beneficiaries in marketable production, promoted literacy, enhanced agricultural productivity and fostered knowledge of sanitation and nutrition among rural HHs.

    Strengthening national capacity to increase food and nutrition security in Afghanistan - GCP/AFG/075/GER 2019
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    Entrenched food insecurity and malnutrition is a major concern in Afghanistan. It can be explained by several factors, including limited availability, fragile accessibility and instability of food supplies, among others. Food security and nutrition(FSN) is therefore a high priority on the agenda of the Government of Afghanistan. However, capacity constraints in the field of planning and management of FSN policies, programmes and projects remained a challenge for the successful implementation of FSN interventions. Against this background, the project focused on strengthening national capacities in FSN programming and implementation, and in reviewing, analysing, coordinating, monitoring and evaluating the food security and nutrition situation.
