About the Organization

NCA is one of the largest aid organizations in the Nordic region, with 21 country offices in Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East, including four joint country offices and other partner organizations.

The intervention is under UNDP's Area-Based Approach to Development Emergency Initiatives (ABADEI 2.0), which is a flagship programme that brings UN agencies and many national and international NGOs and civil society organizations (CSO) together through a coherent approach and funding platform over a wide geographic coverage. ABADEIs focus is to help meet basic human needs and services by revitalizing local markets and assisting local communities to rebuild their lives and livelihoods.

The BREAD (Building Resilient Ecosystems for Area-Based Development) project is a pilot focusing on a market-driven ecosystem of community kitchens in Ghazni, with the objective to provide healthy and affordable meals to communities and create safe economic spaces for women and youth to engage in trade and other social activities. Building Resilient Ecosystems for Area-Based Development (BREAD), transliterates to 'Naan' which means bread but also colloquially refers to food in local languages. NCA envisions BREAD as a bold and innovative initiative that will empower communities to cope with food insecurity, malnutrition, and create jobs for women and youth.
