Two in three Afghan households show resilience gains in last year
FAO
2025.10.10
This Policy Brief reviews progress in strengthening household resilience to food insecurity in Afghanistan using the E-Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis (E-RIMA) tool. Between 2023 and 2024, two-thirds of Afghan households supported by FAO interventions increased their resilience capacity by at least 10 percent, surpassing the United Nations Strategic Framework for Afghanistan’s target of a 10 percent improvement by 2025. Since 2021, FAO has supported rural Afghans with climate-resilient seeds, livestock assistance, nutrition-sensitive farming, cash-for-work programmes, and irrigation-system rehabilitation. These activities contributes to strengthening two main drivers of resilience: household assets (wealth, livestock, tools) and adaptive capacity (diversified income, education, crop diversity). The Food Consumption Score rose from 28 in 2023 to 38 in 2024, signalling improvements in both resilience and food security.Regional disparities remain significant. Strong resilience gains were recorded in Kabul, Khost, Paktika, Paktya, and Badakhshan, while provinces like Badghis, Helmand, and Kandahar continue to lag most likely owing to lost income from the 2022 poppy ban and limited livelihood alternatives.The brief concludes that to achieve sustainable resilience, Afghanistan needs targeted household-asset building, expanded climate-smart agriculture, improved early-warning systems, and stronger social safety nets such as emergency cash transfers. Investments in rural clinics, schools, water, and nutrition services are also critical. Coordinated, multi-sectoral action and regular use of digital monitoring tools like E-RIMA will be essential to track household food insecurity resilience.
