40 Vulnerable Families Receive Food Relief in Baghlan Province

Kabul, May 16, 2020 - Seven Community Development Councils (CDCs) in Deh Salah district of Baghlan province have contributed food assistance at no cost to 40 families through the Grain Banks Initiative established under the Citizens’ Charter National Priority Program of the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD/CCNPP).

The relief package for each family included cooking oil, rice and sugar provided through the program’s Social Inclusion Grant (SIG) intervention and CDC contribution as Internal Mobilized Food by community.

The Citizens’ Charter is working with the CDCs to establish Grain Banks in villages by encouraging better-off households to donate to very poor households during the lean season and help mitigate seasonal hunger.

The Citizens’ Charter carries a detailed well-being/poverty analysis in each community to identify and target the most vulnerable households, including women headed households, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and households headed by people with disabilities.
