EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Description of the Context Humanitarian conditions in Afghanistan have steadily deteriorated in recent years due to the protracted conflict and recurrent natural disaster—particularly drought, flash floods, and other extreme weather. An intensified conflict in 2011 caused further civilian casualties and displacement, delayed humanitarian action and disrupted essential services. The planned withdrawal of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) from Afghanistan over the next three years risks disrupting local economies and hindering humanitarian and development action. 2012 Consolidated Appeal for Afghanistan: Key parametres Resurgent conflict across the country and endemic Duration: January – December 2012 environmental hazards render the majority of Key Planting seasons: March to Afghanistan‘s 30.4 million people1 chronically or milestones October acutely vulnerable.

I started this study with my background primarily in Animal science and rangeland management. 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.

We focus on maximising the effectiveness of the UK aid budget for intended beneficiaries and on delivering value for money for UK taxpayers. We carry out independent reviews of aid programmes and of issues affecting the delivery of UK aid. We publish transparent, impartial and objective reports to provide evidence and clear recommendations to support UK Government decision-making and to strengthen the accountability of the aid programme. Our reports are written to be accessible to a general readership and we use a simple ‘traffic light’ system to report our judgement on each programme or topic we review. Green: The programme performs well overall against ICAI’s criteria for effectiveness and value for G money. Some improvements are needed. Green-Amber: The programme performs relatively well overall against ICAI’s criteria for G A effectiveness and value for money. Improvements should be made.

Mortars, IEDs, gunfire and other explosives destroyed human life, stole limbs and ruined lives at unprecedented levels. The thousands of Afghan children, women and men killed and injured in 2014 attest to failures to protect civilians from harm. All parties must uphold the values they claim to defend and make protecting civilians their first priority.” Nicholas Haysom, United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Afghanistan, December 2014, Kabul “This annual report shows once again the unacceptable price that the conflict is exacting on the civilian population in Afghanistan.

  • Chronology of Events in Afghanistan, December 2003*
    Chronology of Events in Afghanistan, December 2003* December 1 Afghans begin registering for first elections. (Reuters) The United Nations has begun registering the first of an estimated 10.5 million Afghans expected to vote in their country's first free elections in 2004. The registration process began in the city of Kandahar on November 30 and was extended to seven other cities, including Kabul on December 1, said Catarina Fabiansson, spokeswoman for the U.N. election office in Afghanistan. All Afghans aged over 18 by June 20, 2004, are qualified to register to elect a national president in the elections, which are due to be held in June 2004. There will be separate registration sites for men and women. Fabiansson said most of those to register initially will be the 19,000 district representatives who have the job of electing a Loya Jirga, or Grand Assembly, due to meet from December 10 to approve a new constitution. Ordinary people would have the chance to register in the towns of Bamiyan and Herat, and general registration would be extended to other cities in December. Fabiansson said the project would be extended to the provinces, then to villages and was expected to be completed by early 2004. Former regional Taliban official arrested in Jalalabad. (Associated Press / AP) A man who served as a regional police commander in Afghanistan during the Taliban regime was arrested for alleged involvement in attacks against Afghan forces, an official said. Maulvi Sahib-ul Haq was arrested in Jalalabad, the capital of the province of Nangarhar, by Afghan security forces, said Ziauddin, an Afghan intelligence official.
