Community Livestock and Agriculture Programme (CLAP)

General

The goal of this project is to increase agricultural and livestock productivity, and improve food security, for almost 170,000 rural households in selected districts of Kabul, Parwan and Logar provinces. The project also aims to reduce gender disparities by increasing the social and economic status of women. To these ends, the project focuses on enhancing productive assets, skills, services, technologies and income opportunities in the targeted households. The target group includes small-scale farmers and livestock-keepers, including landless households; women and female-headed households; and resettled and nomadic Kuchi people. With regard to land and natural resource governance, the project supports the settlement of Kuchi people on land allocated by the government, and trains women on land ownership rights.
