About USAID Afghanistan Agriculture Program

DAI Global, LLC (DAI) is implementing a new USAID-funded agriculture program which aims to reinvigorate agricultural livelihoods and
catalyze private sector engagement to address food insecurity, income gaps, target populations’ empowerment, and communities’
resilience to climate change. The activity actively facilitates implementation with and through local systems actors (such as anchor
firms, business development and advisory service (BDAS) providers, education and financial institutions, and local communities). This
approach centers a competitive, performance-based Partnership Facility (PF) to design interventions that: incorporate local Afghan
knowledge, engage target populations, and leverage resources to ensure local ownership and sustainability. Using a private sector-led,
market systems development (MSD) approach, the activity is aimed at driving local system actor behavior change. In doing so, the
activity endeavors to meaningfully improve Afghan lives and agriculture sector performance through the following objectives: ·
Objective 1: Food Security Improved Through Increased and Inclusive Resilience, Productivity, Diversification, and Stability of
Agricultural Value Chains; · Objective 2: Enhanced Communities’ Resilience to Climate Change-Induced Shocks, Specifically Water
Stress; · Objective 3: Target Population Economic Empowerment Strengthened.
