Summary
In 2015, the Government of Afghanistan committed itself to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) which calls on nations, by 2030, to “end hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture.” Although the country faces a protracted conflict and numerous other challenges including climate change, poverty, and gender disparities, it recognizes that addressing hunger is a critical investment to ensure that all Afghan citizens are able to achieve their full physical and mental potential, contribute to the economic growth and development of the country, and participate in a peaceful future. Afghanistan has demonstrated the ability to make progress on hunger in the past despite challenging circumstances and is already taking practical new steps to improve food security and nutrition. To better support its effort through 2030, it has commissioned this Afghanistan Zero Hunger Strategic Review.
