The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has launched training programs to strengthen disaster preparedness and climate resilience in vulnerable areas of Badghis and Helmand provinces.
The organization said on Thursday, August 27, on X that under the program, 850 residents, including women and men, are receiving practical skills training.
IOM added that the training focuses on natural disaster preparedness, early warning systems, first aid, and search and rescue.
The organization said the program aims to strengthen the capacity of vulnerable communities to cope with hazards and respond effectively when disasters occur.
The program comes as vulnerable areas in parts of Afghanistan face risks from natural disasters and climate change.
