Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: The European Union said in a press release that it is committed to continuing to support the people of Afghanistan, especially women, children and vulnerable communities.
“The agriculture sector and food value chains need to be strengthened to improve the nutrition, health and economic resilience of Afghans,” said Veronika Boskovic-Pokhar, Head of the EU Delegation to Afghanistan.
According to the press release, it will provide training and livelihood opportunities for women’s associations and young entrepreneurs, using “sustainable school meal programmes” as a local economic driver.
