Afghanistan Community Resilience and Livelihoods Project

active

The development objective of the Community Resilience and Livelihoods Project for Afghanistan is to provide short-term livelihood opportunities and deliver urgent essential services in rural and urban areas. The project comprises of five components. The first component, emergency livelihoods support and services in rural areas will support implementation of a cash-for-work program aimed at rehabilitating small-scale basic infrastructure services such as clean water, sanitation, or tertiary roads, and generating income opportunities for ultra-poor and vulnerable households. The second component, emergency livelihoods support and services in urban areas will provide livelihood opportunities for unskilled and semi-skilled labor and respond to urgent service delivery needs in urban areas through the provision and implementation of small-scale labor-intensive works (LIWs). The third component, social grants for women and the most vulnerable in rural and urban areas will provide social grants to support food and grain banks, livelihood activities and cash transfers to cash transfer beneficiaries. The fourth component, strengthening community institutions for inclusive service delivery especially for women will support non-governmental organizations (NGOs’) costs for activities related to community mobilization, planning, implementation, monitoring, and training on a variety of topics. The fifth component, implementation support will support the costs of the United Nations (UN) implementing partner, United Nations Office for Project Service (UNOPS), to manage and oversee the program, including technical support, training, monitoring, and reporting upon results.
