Drug dependence remains a significant challenge in Afghanistan. But no one should be defined by addiction.

In 2025, the Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan (STFA)-supported Joint Project on Drug Use Prevention, Treatment and Rehabilitation reached 37,336 people, including 13,767 women, across South Eastern Afghanistan.

The initiative strengthened treatment and rehabilitation services, expanded community outreach, improved mental health support, and created livelihood opportunities.

We extend our appreciation to all our donors and partners whose continued support made these results possible. A special thank you to the Government of Italy. It takes collective efforts to help individuals, families, and communities rebuild with dignity.

Change is stronger when it’s locally led.

In a challenging operating environment, women-led civil society organizations play a vital role in delivering support to women and girls in Afghanistan.

In 2025, the CSOs Twinning Initiative, implemented by UN Women Afghanistan and funded by the Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan (STFA), strengthened 14 women-led CSOs across Eastern and Western Afghanistan through tailored training, mentoring, and seed funding.

The initiative also enabled community-led projects to benefit more than 8,000 people, while strengthening local leadership and expanding gender-responsive humanitarian and basic needs programming. Investing in local women’s organizations strengthens not only their capacity but also the resilience of the communities they serve.

Every business starts with an opportunity!

For thousands of entrepreneurs in Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan (STFA)-supported communities, that opportunity has come through the various joint programmes.

During our mission to Nangarhar Province, we met entrepreneurs at an MSME exhibition whose businesses are creating livelihoods, preserving local craftsmanship, and contributing to local economic recovery.

They are among the more than 16,000 MSMEs, including over 9,000 women-led businesses, that STFA has supported with access to capital, training, market linkages, and business opportunities.

Yesterday was , and we reaffirm our commitment to supporting entrepreneurs as they strengthen their communities and contribute to Afghanistan’s recovery.

In Nangarhar Province, we visited a Local Implementation Committee (LIC) supported by UN-Habitat Afghanistan and IOM Afghanistan.
