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.
