    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.

    Strengthening national capacity to increase food and nutrition security in Afghanistan - GCP/AFG/075/GER 2019

    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.

The evaluation was carried out between September and December 2015, with field mission to Afghanistan from the end of September to the middle of October 2015. The evaluation had contacted stakeholders, including target groups , at central level (ministries and directorates), provincial level (two provinces) and district level (three districts).
