Our mission is to reduce poverty and increase food security for the people of Afghanistan by protecting the livelihoods assets and building resilience. DCA’s livelihood approach sits at the nexus of humanitarian, development, and peace building, and focuses on building resilience in a conflictsetting.

Our Strategic Objectives are
● Improving the food security of vulnerable Afghans in hard-to-reach locations through protecting their livelihoods assets: We aim for all rural Afghans including pastoralists to have enough food and income to meet their basic daily needs. 
● Creating more jobs and increasing income: We aim for especially women and youth to have been empowered to have a paid job and earn enough money to do some savings for future investments.
● Enhancing the infrastructure for resilient livelihoods. We aim for rural communities and pastoralists to have easy access to affordable, quality and sustainable services through creating and maintaining an effective and sustainable nationwide network of field units.

Gender equality is a fundamental guiding principle in our own organisation as well as in our programs. By using a woman-to-woman approach and developing special income generating activities for female beneficiaries, DCA is committed to empower women in all its projects. DCA adopts a multidisciplinary One Health Approach, to attain optimal health for people, animals as well as the environment. The control of zoonoses, animal diseases that can easily be transmitted to humans (such as COVID-19), are important elements of our work.
