CAP-IDP Food Distribution (WFP)

In 2021, the Services of Women Relieve Center – Afghanistan (SWRCA), with support from the World Food Programme (WFP), implemented a food distribution project targeting vulnerable internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Farah Center. The intervention aimed to reduce hunger, improve nutritional outcomes, and strengthen community resilience among families facing acute food insecurity.

Objectives

• To provide immediate food assistance to vulnerable IDP households.

• To reduce the risk of malnutrition and hunger among children, women, and other at-risk groups.

• To contribute to household stability and resilience during displacement and crisis.

Activities

• Targeting & Registration: SWRCA teams identified and registered 870 vulnerable IDP families through transparent beneficiary selection processes.

• Food Distribution: A total of 108.75 metric tons of food commodities were distributed, ensuring that each family received adequate support to meet their short-term nutritional needs.

• Community Engagement: Beneficiaries were provided with information on fair distribution procedures and grievance mechanisms to ensure accountability.

Achievements

• 870 families received life-saving food assistance in a time of urgent need.

• Distribution valued at more than 5.2 million AFN, ensuring equitable and impactful resource delivery.

• Enhanced community trust in humanitarian actors through fair, transparent, and accountable assistance mechanisms.

Impact

This project not only met the immediate food security needs of vulnerable families but also helped reduce hunger-related risks and supported the dignity and resilience of displaced households. By addressing urgent nutritional gaps, the project contributed to stabilizing livelihoods and protecting the most vulnerable populations in Farah.

SWRCA’s partnership with WFP in this initiative underscores its strong commitment to humanitarian principles, community well-being, and the protection of vulnerable groups in Afghanistan.
