Développement et Coopération EUROP AID
Titre : Supporting livelihoods recovery and stabilisation in the remote district of Ruy-e-Doab in Afghanistan
Pays : Afghanistan
Durée : 2010-2013
Partenaires : Solidarités International
Contexte
Afghanistan faces significant challenges in terms of food security and
livelihoods. A large part of the country, such as the central-highland
areas of Afghanistan, remains inaccessible either due to insecurity or
hostile terrain. More specifically, the mountainous area of Samangan
province and particularly the district of Ruy-e-Doab is characterised by
weak markets, poor communication, cold weather and scarcity of good
quality arable lands. This project aims at ensuring that the population of
this district tackles issues that jeopardize their livelihood recovery such
as production capacity of irrigated land, availability of agricultural and
veterinary services, farming and cattle breeding practices and alternative
income generating activities.
Objectifs
To help farmers be autonomous from food aid.
To assist farmers in the transition from subsistence activities to a
situation where they can build on reserves and commercialise part of
their production.
Impact
Increase in yield is visible while demonstration plots with improved
seeds and farming techniques as well as training have been set-up.
A livestock health initiative is underway and by the end of the 36
months an estimated 90 870 inhabitants of the area, representing 17
146 families will directly be benefitting from the project.
EC contribution : € 1.35 million (90% of the total budget)
