Equip community midwives with the skills and competences needed to support women to improve maternal outcomes and baby-health and nutrition outcomes
Description
AfD applies on annual basis to relevant calls for proposal to ensure the necessary amount of funds could be accumulated for its programs.
Once applications are approved and contracts being signed the activities are being transformed to the field action plans that would get transferred to the field through various meeting and discussions. The project staff work closely with the communities to ensure their awareness about the activities and alignment of objectives. Once the program executions starts the reports will ensure that the activities are being reported to head office as well as to the donors.

Action for Development (AfD) Commitment
Description
AfD will bear an active role towards decreasing the poverty in Afghanistan. With this specific goal AfD will focus on provision of food and nutrients to the children through "food for education" initiatives to enroll street working children to have basic nutrition needs covered while attaining literacy and numeracy. Besides, through health education and health service provision AfD will engage in raising knowledge of community members in Afghanistan on breast feeding, young child feeding practices through training midwives and health educators, as well as reducing anemia among mothers and young girls. Furthermore, AfD will remain committed to advocate and collaborate with the main stakeholders on strengthening food development schemes, employment opportunities for youth and safety nets for female headed families in Afghanistan.
