Admin/Finance Officer , CARD-F

About CARD-F

The Comprehensive Agriculture and Rural Development Facility (CARD-F) works on behalf of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GOIRA) to deliver sustainable economic development in the rural economy at the district level. 
CARD-F specifically seeks to provide a means of designing, coordinating and funding high-impact interventions through an integrated Economic Development Package (EDP) for each targeted district. EDPs address issues of markets, agricultural production and infrastructure in an integrated manner to promote growth and build on, as far as possible, existing programs and projects. Such programs and projects are predominantly those of the Afghan Ministry of Agricultural Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) and the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD). 
CARD-F functions under the auspices of an Inter-Ministerial Committee comprising MAIL, MRRD, and the Ministry of Finance (MOF) under the chairmanship of the Ministry of Counter Narcotics (MCN). While presently externally funded through development cooperation, CARD-F seeks to be an “on-budget” mechanism that enhances Afghans’ own capacity to design and implement effective strategies for growth and development.
