Project Objectives and Results
Project Objectives
The objectives of the PRRO are to:
•
•
•
•
respond to the food security and nutrition needs of conflict-affected internally displaced persons (IDPs) and
returnees, natural disaster affected populations and persons affected by acute economic stresses (Strategic
Objective 1);
support the recovery of communities, families and individuals affected by successive shocks (Strategic
Objective 2);
treat moderately malnourished children aged 6-23 months and 24-59 months and pregnant and lactating
women (PLW) (Strategic Objective 4); and
contribute to the learning of primary and lower secondary school pupils, particularly girls (Strategic Objective 4).
The overarching strategic objectives of the PRRO are aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2 and
17, with links to SDG 4, Quality Education, and SDG 5, Gender Equality. The PRRO supports the 2013-2016
country strategy document and is aligned with the 2014-2019 United Nations Development Assistance Framework
(UNDAF) and the Government’s National Priority Programmes.
To improve nutrition, food security and food safety in Afghanistan by expanding market opportunities for Afghan
agriculture products and nutritious foods, aiming for commercial sustainability over the longer term, the Purchase for
Progress (P4P) programme focused on a three-pillar approach with interventions throughout the value chain:
•
•
•
Production – WFP purchases local wheat to support smallholder farmers and to improve their market access;
Processing and transformation – WFP strengthens local capacity of wheat flour mills to fortify their production
and develop local capacity for the production of nutritious supplementary foods;
Promotion and quality assurance – WFP carries out a communication campaign to raise awareness on the
importance of micronutrients, and to promote nutritious fortified foods, increase consumer demand, and
improve food quality and safety.
