Background Information

In order to make higher education available to students from areas where there are as yet no high schools, the Government has provided new boarding facilities in the capital (Kabul), and has extended those already existing. Apart from an average of about 1,500 students at the University, UN/ FAO World Food Programme is assisting in the maintenance of about 8,500 boarders in secondary institutions in Kabul. Three daily meals are provided for each boarder from WFP rations which include wheat, vegetable oil, dried milk, canned meat, tea, dried eggs, cheese and canned fish. Since the commencement of WFP assistance in 1964, enrolment of both students and trainee teachers has considerably increased. The total cost of the project to WFP for the six year period is over $2 million.
