Project Information
Following the political events in Afghanistan in August 2021, the subsequent economic collapse has
led to an unprecedented humanitarian crisis putting over 24 million people in immediate need of aid.
To provide immediate short-term livelihood opportunities and deliver urgent essential services in rural
and urban areas, UNOPS is working with funders to implement a large-scale community resilience
program. The initiative aims to reach an estimated 1.1 million households, or 7.5 million Afghans,with
livelihoods and income support. In addition, 9 million Afghans in some 6,200 rural communities and 8
cities will benefit from improved access to essential social services through strengthening the capacity
of community institutions in inclusive service delivery.
