Synopsis (short abstract) This project fact sheet summarizes the key aspects of this project, Sustaining Essential Services Delivery Project (Support for Afghan People), objective, budget, geographical scope, people assisted, assistance modalities, crosscutting issues and SDGs contribution. The key objective of this project is to provide critical agricultural inputs like wheat cultivation and livestock protection packages. Farmers and livestock owners will be also assisted with technical training and veterinary services through local private service providers. In addition, 140 000 poor food insecure rural households will receive high-quality seeds for backyard vegetable cultivation, poultry and a mix of small farm equipment, enabling them to produce highly nutritious vegetables and poultry. All these interventions will generate food and income benefits for over 2.73 million highly food insecure Afghans across Afghanistan’s 33 provinces. The project will contribute to preserving the development achievements of the two past decades by preserving the human capital of the country.

    This project was funded by the United States Agency for International Development with a total budget of USD 19 million. The project was initiated in September 2017 and completed in December 2021. The objective of this project was to promote inclusive growth and job creation in the agricultural sector. It aimed to achieve this by strengthening the capabilities of the producers and private enterprises and linking Afghan farmers to provincial, national and international markets. The evaluation found that the Project created an enabling environment that promoted active engagement between producers, processors, traders, input suppliers and markets. the participating private producers have reported sales of an estimated USD 54 million and generated approximately 650 full-time jobs, 46 per cent of them female, in the three years of its operation. This was 405 per cent above the Project’s target. The evaluation recommends FAO to develop clear protocols on how to sustain engagement with the private sector in Afghanistan and while supporting a commodity supply chain, some support needs to be directed to farmers to help improve quality standards and increase productivity to meet national and international market demands and standards.
