Green Initiative for Afghanistan’s Agriculture (GIAA)
Land and water resources in Afghanistan are overexploited and deteriorating fast with severe consequences for rural households. The Green Initiative for Afghanistan’s Agriculture will upscale the professional and institutional capacity for sustainable land and water management to prevent further degradation, improve production and reduce disaster risks, especially in mountainous areas. It will contribute to improved food security and better livelihoods for poor rural families.

Contesto |
Up to 80% of the Afghan population depend fully or partially on agriculture for their livelihoods, giving the sector a crucial role for the development of the country. However, uncontrolled grazing, pastureland encroachment, illegal logging and the loss of forest and grass cover are not only reducing agricultural productivity, but also worsening drought conditions and increasing disaster risks such as mudslides and flooding. |
Obiettivi |
Poor families in rural areas improve their livelihoods thanks to enhanced Afghan professional and institutional capacity for sustainable management of land and water resources. |
Gruppi target |
Direct stakeholders are natural resource management field practitioners and professionals from government institutions, universities, colleges, NGOs and the private sector. |
Effetti a medio termine |
Outcome 1: Women and men farmers manage their natural resources more sustainably, thanks to better qualified Natural Resource Management professionals. Outcome 2: Afghan institutions improve and apply sustainable natural resource management policies. |
