Description:

February 2021 - High levels of humanitarian need in Afghanistan, fueled by the ongoing intra-Afghan conflict, natural disasters, the uncertain political landscape and displacement dynamics. In 2021, an estimated 18.4 million people require humanitarian assistance, with primary sectors of concern including health, food security, and protection.

Project activities include: (1) establishing three mobile health teams; (2) providing essential maternal health care and sexual and reproductive health services; (3) conducting awareness sessions on gender-based violence with targeted communities; and (4) distributing cash assistance to vulnerable households.
