Synopsis (short abstract) This project fact sheet summarizes the key aspects of this project (Curbing the potential impacts of La Niña induced dry conditions/drought in Afghanistan), objective, budget, geographical scope, people assisted, assistance modalities, crosscutting issues and SDGs contribution. The key objective of this project is to mitigate the adverse impacts on the most vulnerable marginal smallholder farming demographic groups arising due to the La Niña-induced drought in the rainfed cultivation areas of Samangan Province in Afghanistan. Selected beneficiaries will benefit from a number of emergency interventions such as winter wheat crop and alternate crops (legume and oilseed) production inputs, coupled with technical training, Cash-for-Work or unconditional cash transfers; livestock protection packages including animal healthcare with technical training. Each intervention includes sensitization and awareness building on COVID-19 safety measures in their respective environments. Furthermore, the institutional capacities of governmental departments of Agriculture Irrigation and Livestock departments will be strengthened on early warning early action (EWEA) protocols in the agriculture sector.
