FAO Water in action : Rehabilitating irrigation in Afghanistan
pixel

Read about how FAO irrigation activities have rehabilitated more than 400 000 hectar of agriculture lands in Afghanistan. With the Emergency Irrigation Rehabilitation Project (EIRP) farmers and their families will benefit from improved, reliable and equitably distributed irrigation water which will lead to increased agricultural productivity, better income, improved food security and reduce the vulnerability of farmers to droughts. This will assist in reducing poverty in rural areas, accelerating the transition of the existing agricultural system and laying the foundation for a dynamic rural economy.
