An FAO delegation headed by Daniele Donati, Deputy Director of the Office of Emergencies and Resilience, and Fabrizio Cesaretti, FAO Deputy Representative in Afghanistan, visited several farming and herding communities in several districts of Kandahar province, Afghanistan. 
The aim of this visit was to assess and monitor various FAO interventions (cash for work to rehabilitate community water infrastructures, wheat cultivation, livestock protection), as well as to listen to the needs and challenges that vulnerable farming communities are facing. Some of these communities live in formerly hard-to-reach or inaccessible areas due to conflict and could only be assisted for the first time in years. 
Farmers and herders need agricultural inputs like seeds and animal feed and support to maximize water efficiency use. The FAO programme for next 12 months is responding to these needs, increasing seed production and availability, supporting livestock production, irrigation and the water sector.
