No results found.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. -

No results found.Livestock play an important role in Afghanistan, boosting nutrition and providing livelihoods. Outbreaks of animal diseases such as Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) and peste des petits ruminants (PPR) are a constant threat to improving nutrition and farmer incomes. The Project ‘Building resilience and self-reliance of livestock keepers by improving control of FMD and other Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs)’ aimed at providing assistance at central, province, and community level, in strengthening food security through an improved on-farm livestock healthcare system. The evaluation found there was good progress in improving animal health and disease control. The Project exceeded original vaccination targets, owing to a close collaboration with the private sector and non-governmental organizations. Epidemiology skills were improved in the country but remain limited while analytical skills remain a critical need and there is a continuing need for better capture of outbreak and disease surveillance data. The major weakness of the Project was the lack of sustainability with no clear exit plan. The evaluation recommends that there be an immediate follow-up project. -
