Project Description

The main objective of the Project was to assist the poor people and eradicate the poverty from the selected area of Kandahar Province in preparing and providing the food Distribution Project. The provision of the project was conducted in different districts of Kandahar province such as, Panjwai, Arghandab, Dand, Daman, Khakriz, Shawali Kot including the central of Kandahar province, the beneficiaries which had been benefited from the food distribution project were 840. 

The Project was highly relevant to the Country Strategy and Program (CSP) for Afghanistan, whose main aim has consistently been a sustainable reduction in poverty. The key Components of the CSP update were to improve basic social services and take humanitarian actions, to enhance human resources development and eradicate the poverty from the selected area and to promote good governance in the food Distribution sector. HOPA policy advocates adoption of an integrated approach to food distribution management, improved access to quality materials, the introduction of regulatory control, and use of the private sector for scheme development and management of Kandahar province food distribution facilities. All of these policies were reflected in the Project in time of the implementation of the project and during the project the Evaluations were conducted by staff member of HOPA. Similarly, the Project was very relevant to Kandahar province and District development objectives as defined in the need of the people. Further relevant objectives of the plan included the provision of appropriate sanitation services, reduction of poverty, and elimination of the burden of the poor people, which is done mostly by women and children.   The inclusion of NGO coordination in the Project was, therefore, particularly appropriate.

providing consulting services to (a) coordinate activities of the co-financiers of the investment project; (b) review the design and tender documents, and conduct tender evaluations of all project packages; (c) report on project progress; (d) account for project costs; (e) prepare financial, economic, environmental, and social analyses of the investment project;(f) conduct socioeconomic, regional planning, and environmental surveys; (g) Prepare a public awareness program encompassing packaging education.

A project partner is a collaborating organization who will have an integral role in the proposed research. This may include cash or in-kind contributions such as expertise, staff time or use of facilities. Based on the food distribution the project was funded with three partners such as Freedom Philanthropies, Afghans of North America and Muslims giving back, hence the existence of the parents for our organization and sister company Mrasta Charity Foundation were gladded to implement the food distribution project.   

The Result of the identification Process 

In order to finish the work within the implementation period and budget, instead of gathering data on their own, the advisory committee and consultant had to make assumptions regarding key issues such as the location of demand need, per-capita demand figures, daily and seasonal peak factors, and annual population growth.  From the realized Project performance and outcome, it can be seen that the Project had been adequately designed through the correct definition of problems, the accurate identification of project objectives, and the viable choice of implementation strategy. At the same time, the identification process is closely linked to different stakeholders, this ensure the Project is able to create impacts to the right target beneficiaries.

Note: Due to the poor economic condition of the beneficiaries and also some security reasons we delivered the packed to beneficiary’s door step.
