January – December 2018
Conflict, natural disasters and cross-border movements continue to increase food insecurity in Afghanistan. Recurrent violence, economic slowdown, crop pests and natural hazards, such as drought and flooding, increased the vulnerability of already severely food-insecure populations, many living in hard-to-reach areas.
Objectives
FAO is working with partners in the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster to:
• Provide life-saving assistance.
• Protect livelihoods.
• Strengthen emergency preparedness and response capabilities of Cluster partners.
