2022
Women in Afghanistan have increased access to income generation opportunities and income security
here has been a regression on this outcome in 2022 for Afghanistan given new restrictions on women’s mobility and conditions on participation in the public sphere across different sectors.
However, to strengthen women livelihoods, capacitate them, ensure their basic needs are met and empower them to build back better to become resilient to the humanitarian crisis affecting Afghans, women in particular and spare them from negative coping mechanism:
41 women have received c ash for business while under Cash based interventions.
862 women have benefited from non-conditional cash interventions that created immediate income stream for most vulnerable women in five provinces of Afghanistan (Balkh, Bamiyan, Heart, Kandahar and Nangahar).
100 more women have benefited short term job opportunities through cash for work (while receiving daily wages 8$/ day for two months), whereby women got on job training opportunity in technical skills i.e., tailoring.
970 women in MPWCs in Herat and Nangarhar were provided with Multi Purpose Cash Assistance to cover their families' basic needs.
