Japan’s Support for Over 200,000 Afghan Women in the Last Three Years

In a newsletter published on its X account, the UNDP wrote that this cooperation and support has been ongoing since 2021, and during this time, there have been 14,600 small and medium-sized businesses, including 8,600 businesses led by women.

The newsletter also mentioned that during this period, over 1.7 million other individuals have gained access to improved services.

The UNDP in Afghanistan also noted that in the past three years, with Japan's support, more than 5,000 facilities in Afghanistan have been powered by renewable energy.

These contributions come at a time when the World Food Programme announced yesterday that with the arrival of winter, millions of people in Afghanistan will face severe hardships, and one in every four families is struggling to obtain enough food.

The World Food Programme emphasized that millions of people across Afghanistan are struggling, and for the next six months, it requires 680 million US dollars for all its activities, including assistance to the most vulnerable families across the country.
