In response to the August 2025 earthquake in eastern Afghanistan, the FAO, through the French Initiative for Food Security and Nutrition (FIFSAN), is assisting over 3,000 households to restore livelihoods and enhance food security and nutrition. Utilizing a One Health approach, the FAO provides cash assistance, livestock protection, and home gardening packages, all designed with a focus on nutrition.

The project promotes the production and consumption of nutrient-rich foods, such as eggs and vegetables, while offering training on dietary diversity and animal health. This initiative aims to improve nutrition outcomes and resilience, particularly for women, children under five, and pregnant and lactating women.
