Agency for Rehibilitation & Energy conservation in Afghanistan (AREA)

The Agency for Rehabilitation and Energy Conservation in Afghanistan (AREA), established in 1993, is a non-governmental, non-political, and not-for-profit organization committed to Afghanistan’s rehabilitation, development, and peacebuilding. AREA empowers communities through grassroots initiatives aimed at building a sustainable and prosperous future.

A key focus is its Food Security and Agriculture Project in Kabul province, which supports 5,904 vulnerable smallholder farmers with emergency inputs such as vegetable kits and tools. This initiative enhances food security, nutrition, and resilience against climate and economic shocks, aligned with the FSAC objectives under the 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan.

AREA combines input distribution with training in climate-smart agriculture and nutrition awareness, while prioritizing women-headed households and persons with disabilities. Monitoring and feedback mechanisms ensure impact and continuous improvement.

AREA also implements a robust Mine Action Program, including surveys, clearance, EOD, and risk education, to reclaim land for safe and productive use. With a comprehensive and community-driven approach, AREA is recognized as a leading NGO contributing to Afghanistan’s humanitarian response and long-term recovery.
