FAO in Afghanistan

Afghanistan has been a member of FAO since 1949. With operations in all 400+ districts, FAO delivers a broad portfolio of interventions spanning lifesaving humanitarian support and long-term development, including crop production and diversification, livestock protection, pest and disease control,  irrigation rehabilitation, cash-based programming, value chain development and private sector engagement. These efforts provide immediate relief, improve food availability and lay the groundwork for climate-smart, sustainable outcomes aimed at closing the food production gap, diversifying livelihoods and enabling rural communities to build a more resilient future.
