May 2024

In line with the priorities of the Food and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC) and the Allocation Strategy, Acted proposes to provide cash for food and livestock protection packages (which consist of animal feed, de-wormer, straw and transportation costs) to 3,967 households (27,419 individuals) in the province of Sar-e-Pol. These households include women-headed households (10%) and households with a person with disability (15%). A livestock deworming campaign will also be implemented for these same households, as well as for neighboring herders. The two activities, livestock protection package distributions and the cash-based food assistance will be implemented in three districts, namely Sancharak, Sayad and Gosfandi, in the province of Sar-e-Pol.
