JICA, UNOPS Sign $10M Climate Resilience Deal for Afghanistan

Japan’s JICA and UNOPS sign a 10 million dollar agreement to strengthen climate resilience and disaster preparedness across vulnerable Afghan communities nationwide.

JICA announced Monday it signed the nearly 10 million dollar partnership with the United Nations Office for Project Services to improve community disaster response capacity in Afghanistan.

The project will run for two years, focusing on community-based approaches, training volunteers, and building local facilities to help residents better manage climate-related emergencies nationwide.

Officials said targeted communities will receive technical support and preparedness training designed to reduce risks from floods, droughts, and other disasters increasingly affecting vulnerable regions.

JICA noted Afghanistan remains among the countries most exposed to climate change impacts, making international cooperation essential for strengthening resilience and protecting livelihoods nationwide communities.

Afghanistan frequently faces droughts, floods, and extreme weather, damaging agriculture and infrastructure while limiting recovery capacity in rural areas already struggling with economic hardship.

Japan has remained an important donor supporting humanitarian relief, infrastructure rehabilitation, and disaster risk reduction projects, working with United Nations agencies to assist vulnerable Afghan communities.
