Afghanistan imports over 80% of its electricity yet has enormous solar potential.
As #AfghanistanEnergyWeek approaches on 9–10 November, stronger partnerships are key to expanding access to reliable, clean energy across the country.

Reliable electricity makes a difference in classrooms, too.
With solar power support from @UNDP, a school in Afghanistan has overcome major challenges, improved its learning environment and even increased student enrollment.

Meet Gozar 7, an imaginary neighbourhood used in #UNDP training in Kabul.

A greener future can also create livelihood opportunities. Through #UNDP_REVIVE, plans include planting 30,000 trees across target provinces, alongside cash-for-work & green-jobs opportunities that combine temporary employment with environmental benefits for local communities.
REVIVEII is paving the way for new livelihood opportunities. In its next phase, the project plans to establish 75 solar-powered greenhouses across five Afghan provinces, supporting vulnerable communities with sustainable agriculture, income generation, & resilience.
#UNDP_REVIVE
Stronger communities need infrastructure that responds to local priorities. Through #REVIVEII, 30 community infrastructure schemes are planned across target areas in AFG. Community consultations & site assessments are helping inform the project's preparations.
#UNDP_REVIVE
Between 2023 and 2025, Afghanistan recorded 4.9 million returns, adding pressure on jobs, essential services and infrastructure. Through #REVIVEII, @UNDP is preparing support for communities in targeted provinces, focusing on livelihoods and essential services.
#UNDP_REVIVE
A New Chapter for Recovery in Afghanistan!
Building on REVIVE I, #UNDP's REVIVE II project, supported by the @ROK_Mission 🇰🇷, will strengthen livelihoods, rehabilitate community infrastructure and support economic recovery across 5 provinces.
