DRC began working in Afghanistan in the 1990s with Humanitarian Mine Action and expanded its scope and reach of programming in 2011 to provide multi-sector and holistic packages of assistance. Activities are currently implemented in four regions of the country.
The overall goal of DRC Afghanistan’s multi-sector response is to promote favorable conditions for shock- and displacement-affected communities to seek safety, claim their basic rights, and pursue self-reliance.
Due to the uncertainty of the current context, DRC maintains the capacity to respond to sudden and large-scale emergencies such as floods and earthquakes, while also promoting the transition to recovery programming.
DRC responds to what remains a protracted humanitarian crisis through a multi-pronged approach.
This means that DRC aims at addressing the critical needs of extremely vulnerable and shock-affected populations while also providing medium- to longer-term solutions that focus on root causes of the crisis.
To do so, DRC in Afghanistan works across all four core sectors.
