Notre environnement de travail
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is a landlocked country in South-Central Asia, bordered by Pakistan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and China. Afghanistan remains internationally isolated due to human rights violations, especially against women and girls. However, regional powers like China and Türkiye maintain pragmatic engagement for stability and economic interests. Since August 2021, the IEA has resisted inclusive governance, excluding former rivals. Security incidents have risen by 53%, with growing concerns over the IEA's control of militant groups like Islamic State Khorasan Province, threatening humanitarian operations.
2025 Humanitarian Outlook: Afghanistan's crisis continues, with 22.9 million people needing aid. Conflict, economic collapse, and climate shocks have left many without basic services. Nearly half the population lives in poverty, and food insecurity affects 14.8 million people. Climate risks, including La Niña and 2024 floods, worsen conditions. Gender-based restrictions, returnee influxes, and explosive ordnance heighten protection needs. Despite constraints, humanitarian partners aim to assist 16.8 million people with essential services in 2025.
ACF's Response in Afghanistan: ACF delivers integrated humanitarian aid in the Provinces of Kabul, Badahkshan, Ghor, Daykundi and Helmand through six key sectors:Health, Nutrition, FSL, WASH, MHPSS and other cross cutting.
