What We Do & Where We Work
UNDP has been working in Afghanistan for more than 50 years on challenges related to climate change and resilience, gender, governance, health, livelihoods and rule of law.
ABADEI is UNDP’s flagship crisis response programme launched in 2021 as part of the ongoing UN-led response to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and the breakdown of the country’s economy following the August 2021 shift in power in Afghanistan.
ABADEI, which denotes communities being resilient and inspires hope for a better future in several local languages, is a tailored area-based integrated programming approach to support basic human needs, complementing short-term humanitarian life-saving assistance with the safeguarding of livelihoods and the strengthening of community resilience. It focuses on addressing worsening poverty and vulnerability, supporting community resilience and social cohesion and enabling the rehabilitation of small-scale infrastructure vital for basic human needs. It supports the creation of immediate sources of income through cash-for-work, local markets and livelihood opportunities, with a particular focus on threatened agri-business and regenerative agriculture infrastructure and services, which are critical for food security.
