About
Overview:The Joint Programme (JP) sought to support the integration of sustainable environment management in Afghanistan. It sought to achieve this by mainstreaming environmental issues into national and sub national policy, planning, and investment frameworks, and through the improvement of local level management of environmental resources and services. The JP helped to develop and formulate suitable policies, strategic frameworks and implementation guidelines with due consideration for poverty and environment linkages, such as the National Environmental Mainstreaming Guideline (NEMG) which includes specific sector-level guidelines and benchmarks. In addition, a draft guideline for incorporating environment management within the curriculum of the Afghanistan Institute of Rural development (AIRD) was developed. Further, the project supported the updating of the State of Environment (SoE) Report for Afghanistan and helped develop a guideline for Strategic Environment Assessments (SEA). As a follow up to Rio+20, the project supported the development of a strategy for Sustainable Development, which included an Environmental Education Strategy and a roadmap for comprehensive Climate Change Strategy. At the sub-national level, the project supported the establishment of Provincial Environment Advisory Councils (PEAC) in 19 provinces. Two PEACs were initially established on a pilot basis, upon which the Government then established an additional 17 PEACs in other provinces using the tools and guidelines developed by the project. Under Outcome 2, over 450 Government officials and over 6,000 participants from the local communities were involved in various training activities. Communities also implemented livelihood activities such as the establishment of 847 kitchen gardens and training of 484 women in backyard poultry. Government counterparts were trained to implement interventions in rangeland and pistachio forest rehabilitation, kitchen gardens, back yard poultry, fruit gardening as well as environmental awareness campaigns. These skills will improve their capacity to deliver services to the local communities. As a direct result of the JP’s efforts nearly 200 hectares of degraded rangeland were rehabilitated with support from community volunteers, and over 700 new pistachio gardens and 520 new fruit gardens were established.
