The goal of this three-year Global Development Alliance program is to enable rural and peri-urban households to expand and improve sustainable agriculture-based livelihoods through market-oriented agricultural development. The program provides extension, materials, and other agriculture services to small-scale farmers, traders, and processors in Hirat, Ghor, and Bamyan Provinces. The objectives of the program are to (1) Increase on farm and off-farm income of resource-poor rural households in western and central Afghanistan and (2) Increase local capacity in market-led agriculture.

The Agro-Enterprise Development Alliance (ADA) works in four broad agriculture value chains: A) Fresh produce – including year-round agricultural services and the promotion of low-cost poly-tunnels for cold season production; B) Drought tolerant field crops; C) Small-scale dairy production, collective marketing, and value adding and; D) Livestock production. The program is implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock (MAIL).
