Women’s economic empowerment remains a critical priority for strengthening resilience and promoting inclusive development across Afghanistan. With limited access to employment and education, women increasingly depend on home-based and community-based livelihood opportunities to support their households and contribute to local economies.
Cordaid Afghanistan’s approach promotes sustainable, locally-led economic opportunities for vulnerable women. The initiative focuses on strengthening livelihoods, improving financial inclusion, and enhancing market access while ensuring culturally sensitive and community-accepted interventions.
Key components include:
- Small business and entrepreneurship support
- Financial literacy and savings groups
- Market linkage and value chain development
- Skills development and mentoring
- Community-based economic initiatives
The brochure also features Voices of Change, highlighting the experiences of women who have improved their livelihoods and strengthened their economic resilience.
This brochure provides partners and donors with insight into Cordaid Afghanistan’s approach to promoting inclusive economic participation and sustainable livelihoods for women.
In line with localisation commitments, Cordaid collaborates closely with national partners and community structures to strengthen local capacity, promote ownership, and ensure sustainability beyond project timelines.
Cordaid Afghanistan invites partners and stakeholders to join efforts to expand economic opportunities for women and strengthen community resilience across Afghanistan.
