Project Budget: $20 million
This project supports the delivery of humanitarian assistance in response to the UN-led Humanitarian Action Plan. Projects already supported by this initiative include:
- World Food Programme ($13 million) – This project enhances resilience and food security in Afghanistan. With planned assistance to 5.2 million people in 2010 and 7.3 million in 2011, WFP will provide relief food assistance, and build government capacity to assess, prepare and respond to food crises, while supporting improved health and education, particularly for women and girls.
- United Nations High Commission for Refugees ($3 million) - This project delivers general humanitarian assistance such as support for the provision of health services, mine action, food and non-food aid.
- World Health Organization Health Cluster ($1 million) - This project improves access to essential emergency preventive and curative healthcare for the most vulnerable people affected by disasters, including underserved provinces, and people living in conflict zones beyond the reach of established systems, with a focus on women and children.
- Emergency Micro-Nutrients Initiative ($632,000) - This one-year project distributes micro-nutrients (vitamin A and zinc supplements) to children under five, and pregnant and lactating women, to reduce high morbidity and mortality rates. Almost all of the funding for this initiative, which began in July 2009, has been dispersed.
