In 2018, the Services of Women Relieve Center – Afghanistan (SWRCA), in partnership with the World Food Programme (WFP), implemented the CAP-IDP Food Distribution Project in Farah Center. The project aimed to provide emergency food and cash assistance to 1,300 vulnerable families affected by displacement, improving nutrition, reducing vulnerability, and strengthening household livelihoods.

Objectives

• To ensure immediate access to essential food supplies for displaced and vulnerable households.

• To provide financial support that enables families to meet additional household needs beyond food.

• To enhance household resilience and stability during times of crisis.

Activities

• Beneficiary Targeting: SWRCA identified 1,300 vulnerable families through a transparent and accountable registration process.

• Food and Cash Distribution: Distributed 299 metric tons of food alongside 7,800,000 AFN in cash to support household needs and nutritional requirements.

• Community Awareness & Accountability: Beneficiaries were informed about the distribution procedures, their entitlements, and available grievance mechanisms to ensure fairness and transparency.

Achievements

• Provided comprehensive support to 1,300 families, covering both immediate food needs and additional household requirements.

• Improved household nutrition and food security across the targeted communities.

• Reduced vulnerability and strengthened resilience for families impacted by displacement and crisis.

Impact

The project ensured that vulnerable families could meet their basic nutritional needs while also addressing other urgent household priorities. By combining food and cash assistance, SWRCA enhanced household livelihoods, resilience, and dignity, contributing to the recovery and stability of displaced and food-insecure communities in Farah Province.
