“In Afghanistan, FAO is witnessing a revolutionary and transformative way of ending acute food insecurity crises quickly. In late 2021, FAO and partners started receiving significant amount of funding for emergency agriculture assistance at scale right at the start. It is this that has been the game changer. In 2022, FAO was able to reach more than 6 million people across Afghanistan distributing wheat seeds and fertilizer. In 2023, it will be 8 million people. USAID-BHA has been a vital part of this, providing FAO with 30 million USD and enabling to reach 1.26 million people with wheat seed, half a million with livestock feed, and also 35 000 households, over 200 000 people, with multi-purpose cash. The latest IPC projections show that the hunger trend is reversing, seeing a decline in the levels of acute food insecurity. Among the many factors, agriculture assistance is helping to steepen this decline.”
