Food (cash) Assistance to the Earthquake Affected Population in Kushk, Gulran, and Injil Districts of Herat Province, Afghanistan

The overarching aim of Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund (AHF) funded project is to enhance the food security of households that have been severely impacted by the earthquake, rendering them highly vulnerable and in urgent need of emergency food support. DCA's intervention is designed to provide timely relief to address this critical situation by extending cash assistance to 5,000 food-insecure households residing in the Kushk, Gulran, and Injil districts of Herat province. The initiative will improve food availability for 5,000 households in the districts of Kushk, Gulran, and Injil in the province of Herat by giving two-thirds of the food basket in cash for a total of USD 75 in food assistance (2 * $37.5 = $75). An output of the project is that 35,000 people (men, women, boys, and girls) from 5,000 earthquake-affected households in the districts of Kushk, Gulran, and Injil of Herat province receive food assistance (2 * 50% of FSAC food basket, 2 * $37.5 totaling $75 in one round distribution). The project prioritizes vulnerable groups, women headed HHs, and people with disabilities.
