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.

A key objective of the Government of Mongolia is toincrease economic growth from livestock resources andfrom meat exports, including heat-processed products.Animals, both domestic and wild, play an important role ingenerating sustainable income. Meat, dairy, wool,cashmere and leather raw materials are produced fromgoats, sheep, yak, cattle, camels and horses for furtherprocessing, while wild animals are important both fortourism and in terms of national heritage. In addition,meat exports are critical to managing pressure on pasturelands due to overpopulation/overgrazing of livestock.Animal diseases, as well as the challenges surroundingtheir prevention and control, are well established asthe main impediment to the sustainable development ofthe livestock sector. This is directly associated with thecapacity of the national veterinary services to minimizethe animal disease burden and promote animal health.Nevertheless, Mongolia’s services are currently underextreme pressure, facing animal diseases that are liableto limit trade. The large number of livestock creates high demand forveterinary services. With increasing exports, the highdemand for veterinary services may need to grow furtherto allow compliance with certification inspection,international health standards, quarantines, etc.A number of initiatives have been undertaken in Mongoliaby the Government and its development partners. Forinstance, there are areas of the country free fromFoot-and-mouth disease (FMD) that comply with thestandards of the World Organisation for Animal Health(OIE), an animal identification database is in place, witha number of companies selling ear tags and electronicmonitoring chips, while there is also a draft veterinarydrug residue detection plan.
