Projects funded by the Afghanistan Resilience Trust Fund (ARTF) are providing urgent and essential food, livelihoods, health, water, and education services to the people of Afghanistan. In addition, projects are also supporting increasing financing for micro and small enterprises, with a focus on women’s entrepreneurship, and building NGO capacity to deliver services.

All projects are implemented off-budget and out of the interim Taliban administration’s control, through United Nations agencies and non-governmental organizations. The activities are coordinated with other multilateral and bilateral funding pledges for Afghanistan.

These projects are designed to help women and girls benefit from all project activities. All projects also have internal fiduciary control and independent monitoring arrangements to ensure that funds are utilized for their intended purposes.
