| The Women's Training and Production Centre (WTPC) project is supported by the Ministry of Women's Affairs, UNICEF, and the World Food Programme (WFP). It aims to increase Afghan women's involvement in livelihood projects through the provision of capacity building initiatives and direct access to income generating activities. BRAC established 3 centres in Kabul City and selected 220 women based on the criteria of vulnerability, aged 25-45, widowed, and without a family income source. The women were trained on sewing and multipurpose bags in three centres. Of the total production, some were sold to UNICEF for the school projects and the remaining was sold to available markets. WFP is providing assistance to the project and supplying food to the women. |
