Descripción
The impacts of COVID-19 coupled with the impacts of la Niña were posing enormous threats to the livelihoods of vulnerable farming and livestock-keeping communities across Afghanistan during 2020–2021. In response, the Government of the United States of America through the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance of the United States Agency for International Development contributed USD 20 million to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for the implementation of a project entitled “Minimizing the impacts of drought on livestock herders by protecting the livelihoods of vulnerable food-insecure households”. The project was carried out from 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2022. The overall objective of the project was to protect the livelihoods and improve the food security of vulnerable livestock keeping and farming households. The project distributed 17 172 tonnes of concentrate animal feed, 9 244 tonnes of certified wheat seed and 1 000 tonnes of urea to 270 740 households (2.52 million people) along with technical trainings, enabling them to protect their livestock assets and produce 169 695 tonnes of wheat.
