The United Nations Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan (UN-STFA) has released its 2025 annual report, announcing that it reached and provided assistance to 1.5 million people across the country in that year. According to the report, 65% of the aid recipients were women and girls.<\/p>\n
The report stated that last year, $24.75 million was mobilized to implement support programs. These financial resources were provided by international donors and utilized through UN partner agencies and operational partners.<\/p>\n
Officials from the fund expressed their gratitude to donors, United Nations agencies, operational partners, and Afghan local communities for their cooperation in implementing the programs. The UN Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan is one of the UN\u2019s financial mechanisms aimed at maintaining essential services and supporting vulnerable groups in crisis situations.<\/p>\n
This comes amid widespread restrictions imposed on women\u2019s work and education following the Taliban\u2019s takeover, which has challenged the implementation of some humanitarian programs. International organizations have continually stressed the need to lift these restrictions to ensure more effective access to women and girls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
