1. Background Information
The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) is an operational arm of the United Nations, supporting the successful implementation of its partners’ peacebuilding, humanitarian, and development projects around the world. UNOPS supports partners to build a better future by providing services that increase the efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability of peacebuilding, humanitarian, and development projects. Mandated as a central resource of the United Nations, UNOPS provides sustainable project management, procurement, and infrastructure services to a wide range of governments, donors, and United Nations organizations.

Project Information
The project was established due to the significant, ongoing drought exacerbating water access issues, which has created an emergency situation in rural Afghanistan. Inadequate availability of efficient irrigation contributes to the food insecurity crisis.
The project objective is to improve access to the quality of water supply and surface water irrigation services in selected rural and drought-affected areas and regions. The project will finance the provision of off-grid solar systems and, where applicable, emergency energy-efficient equipment to support surface water irrigation in the selected areas. This will include the installation of solar pump systems and battery systems in high-priority areas.
These solar water pump systems will be installed to supply irrigation to meet the needs of farmers pumping the surface water in identified rural areas. Solar pumps used for irrigation purposes will only pump surface water from rivers that have permanent water bodies and not from seasonal rivers.
