Request for Quotation of Lifesaving Food Assistance to IPC Phase 3 and 4 of NGR 3 Districts
As per AREA’s assessment report many foods insecure vulnerable households do not have enough income to fulfil their food consumption gap. Additionally, WFP monthly market monitoring data (21 August 2022) showed that, compared to last year, price of wheat increased by 44%, wheat flour by 54%, rice by 33%, cooking oil by 18%, pulses by 18% and sugar by 39%. The increase in prices was mainly due to the Afghani currency having lost of its value against the US dollar in less than one year. with the significant reduction in income and huge increase in food prices, access to food for many food insecure vulnerable households has been severely limited in Nangarhar . It is against this backdrop that AREA is requesting grant funding to meet the food needs of households affected by economic shock such as unemployment, income reduction and the political crisis, natural crisis (earthquake, drought & flood). It is proposed that this funding under AHF will allow AREA to scale up its support to meet the needs of the vulnerable population. To respond to critical food needs of food insecure people in Nangarhar, AREA aims to support IPC phase 3 and 4 vulnerable people in Nangarhar under the current project. Considering the high level of needs, the target location is proposed by the FSAC and its in line with the AHF allocation strategy. The project targets 18571 individuals (2653 households) including children, women, PWDs, elderly, women headed families. Under the current project, the targeted beneficiaries will be supported with unconditional unrestricted food assistance for 4 months, as per the FSAC guideline.
