General Food/ Cash Distribution

General Food/ Cash Distribution, projects are planned based on a rapid, extreme deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan, observed IPC, with more than 22 million people projected to need food assistance over the coming months, including more than 8 million people in IPC4 reliant on assistance to mitigate loss of life. Half of Afghan children are at risk of acute malnutrition.

The General Food/ Cash distribution, Intervention objectives, provide nutrition-sensitive, unconditional emergency food assistance to members of severely vulnerable, food-insecure households, including Pregnant and Lactating women and children 6-59 months, in targeted districts to prevent further deterioration of their food security and nutritional status.

Avoid or minimize the needs for targeted households to resort to negative coping strategies during the months of most severe food insecurity.

Under these projects the most vulnerable households are targeted and selected based on the doner vulnerability and selection criteria.
