Agricultural Services and Livelihood Improvement (ASLI)
Farming households in the Central Highlands of Afghanistan suffer from high levels of poverty and food insecurity. Their agricultural productivity remains low due to insufficient access to inputs and information. The Agricultural Services and Livelihood Improvement project aims to improve the livelihoods of poor rural families by strengthening the public extension system at subnational level to enable targeted, demand-driven agricultural service delivery.

Contexto |
Agriculture is of crucial importance for Afghanistan’s socioeconomic development and the livelihoods of the people. Despite high urbanization rates, Afghanistan remains an essentially rural society; an estimated 70% of the population live in rural areas and 61% of households depend fully or partially on income derived from agricultural activities. |
Objetivos |
Poor and vulnerable farming families improve their livelihoods through demand-driven public agricultural service delivery. |
Grupos destinarios |
The project will directly benefit at least 20% of food insecure and resource-poor farming households in four target districts of Bamyan province (approximately 30’000 people). It will be implemented through public extension workers as the main government counterpart in close collaboration with Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock staff at the national and subnational level. The Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development will be involved in infrastructure related activities, need assessment survey, and other field level activities. |
Efectos a medio plazo |
Outcome 1: Target households in the selected districts are more productive, resilient and better linked to markets. Outcome 2: Subnational institutions have developed their capacities and deliver improved services |
