PAHAL
The Promoting Agriculture, Health and Alternative Livelihoods (PAHAL) program is a multi-million, five-year United States Agency for International Development (USAID) initiative designed to achieve food security among vulnerable populations in 14 districts in the middle and high hills of far west and mid-west Nepal. PAHAL is a Development Food Assistance Project under the Bureau for Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA)/Office of FFP) that takes a multi-dimensional, systems-based approach to address underlying socio-political, economic and ecological constraints, and the related shock and stress exposures that drive food insecurity in Nepal.
