I have joint the faculty of Agriculture, Herat University since 1993 as lecturer, I have worked more than eight years in different development projects mainly relevant to agriculture and community mobilization with national non-government organization and international organization, mostly in Western Region (WR) of Afghanistan. Considering my background and the importance of extensive grazing system on livelihood of inhabitants regard to their productive system, life style and impact of rangeland on socio economy and environment, after a long period discussion with my professor, we decided to work on this topic. It was important for me to carry out a research that really interests me. Furthermore, Large Scale Grazing Systems (LSGS) in WR of Afghanistan have changed over time under different disturbances and pressures and the path of change is an essential part of their identity.

There were no outstanding action points from the previous HRT. The minutes were endorsed. Consolidated Appeal for 2012- direction of HRT meeting for 2012 OCHA gave a brief presentation about the CAP 2012 (attached). The section devoted to the Common Humanitarian Action Plan is focused on protection with the strategic objectives targeting those impacted by conflict, natural disasters and return both within and from outside of Afghanistan. An advocacy role by humanitarians to ensure that MDGs targets are on course is also envisaged in the Appeal. OCHA stated that these objectives will be an integral part and guide the agenda of future HRTs as well as the work of the regional clusters. A strong suggestion was made to ensure a link between humanitarian and development work and avoid the repetition of cyclical crises. A clarification was also requested as to the role of OCHA in ensuring the HRT targets these objectives: OCHA would wear the hat of inter-cluster facilitator to push for these nationally agreed strategic objectives and monitor regional progress in addressing them, reinforcing best practice and advocating for gaps and shortages to be addressed.
