Coordination and execution of activities are organized through CoAR’s Rural Development Centres (RDCs) or the Main Regional Offices. These centres are established to cover distinct geographical areas.

Overall coordination takes place in the regional centres like in Kabul, Balkh, Herat, Nangarhar and Wardak Provinces.

Sectoral coordination takes place within several frameworks like the Afghan Agricultural Experimental Centre (AAEC) and the close collaboration with other NGOs in the field of agriculture and veterinary.

The RDCs have established strategies to assure continuity of activities that are not funded by donor agencies and to make investments that are not covered by donors.

Execution activities are organized through the “Service Centre”. The Service Centre covers agricultural, horticultural, veterinary, engineering and training activities; services and commodity distribution.

For some of the activities, income is generated by renting out tractors and threshers; by distributing fruit tree saplings at subsidized prices; by selling animal food at subsidized prices; etc….

The income that is generated is managed in a Credit Agency. The Credit Agency is covering four categories of expenses:

1. Investments are made that are not covered by donors.
2. Welfare activities not covered by donors in the field of health and education.
3. Loans to vulnerable groups e.g. poultry and sheep distribution to widows.
4. Foundation for Rural Development (FRD).
