The Southern Region Agricultural Development Project will combat regional instability, increase agricultural employment and income, and assist the regional transition from an insecure area to a sustainable and prosperous agricultural economy. It will play an important role in providing the foundation for an economic growth corridor from central Hilmand to Kandahar City and onward to Spin Boldak (on the border with Pakistan). To accomplish this, activities will be implemented to support short-term stabilization – focusing on cash-for-work temporary employment activities and agricultural voucher packages, bridging the way for long-term agricultural development.
