Community Development Agriculture Program in Paktia, Paktika, Khost and Southeast Ghazni (CDA-P2K)

Prime Implementing Organization:
ACDI/VOCA

In mid-November, VEGA entered into an agreement with USAID/Afghanistan to develop and implement a community development agriculture project in the Paktia, Paktika, Khost (P2K) and Southeast Ghazni provinces of Afghanistan. The implementing organizations are: ACDI/VOCA, Citizen’s Network for Foreign Affairs (CNFA), Winrock International and the Grand Council of Kuchis (GCK).

The P2K and Southeast Ghazni provinces represent a region of challenging opportunities for agricultural development. Positioned in the southeast area of the country, the region is geographically diverse, largely rural in population and has received much less donor attention and support than other regions of Afghanistan. There is relative wealth in the urban areas of the region however the rural areas remain predominantly poor.

The Community Development Agriculture Program in Paktia, Paktika, Khost and Southeast Ghazni (CDA-P2K) will support increased productivity in key subsectors, market-led production of higher-value products and improved technologies that lead to greater production of commodities at lower costs per unit.

The achievement of project objectives will generate income, increase employment and boost the sale of agricultural products for communities in the P2K and Southeast Ghanzni region.
