1. Feasibility Study of Renewable Energy project
Location: Kuzkunar and Kama districts of Nangrahar Province
Duration: 1 month (18.01.2015to 19.02.2015)
Project #: AFG1172-01
The project was implemented in Kama and Kuzkuner districts of Nangrahar Province.
The long-term intent of this project is to reduce poverty and vulnerability in the two districts of Nangarhar province by motivating countryside economic growth with the development of renewable energy sources and improved energy saving tools

NCRO Annual Report 2015 reducing for 30% to 50% the consumption of natural resources for cooking and lighting and heating homes and community buildings. The project aims to improve some 25,000 people’s living conditions in the target communities directly either by focusing on the utilization of renewable energy sources or household energy saving mechanism with upgrading cooking and heating systems. This feasibility study was undertaken to look at and assess the feasibility of the proposed activities, and to identify obstacles for implementing the proposed activities, and propose solutions and/or alternatives. Various Stakeholders confirmed the need and expressed their support to this project. The study also assessed the security situation in the districts, local government support, community contribution, logistics and storage facilities, local material availability, and labor market. The feasibility study concludes that the proposal objectives and activities within the given time-frame and with the available budget are quite relevant to the target areas and target groups’ needs as they respond to one of the greatest problems of the area: shortage of electricity affecting the economic growth, poor quality of services of public institutions such as clinics and schools shortage of electricity affecting, deforestation and soil degradation due to no alternatives for heating and cooking. The proposed activities will help to achieve the proposed objective to contribute “to improved living conditions of vulnerable households in rural areas in Afghanistan.” The project will be implemented within a two-year timeframe. This time is considered sufficient to complete all planned hardware components, but also allows sufficient time to establish user cooperatives and monitor their functioning. It also will allow establishing sustainable market linkages. WHH, together with is implementing partner, will develop a detailed implementation plan at the start of the project.
Methodology for the Feasibility Study:
Data Collection Method: The following methodology for this feasibility study in the two districts was adopted: a) Desk Review: review of project related documents and other relevant literature on renewable energy in Afghanistan and abroad, b) Interviews / Meetings: were held with Community development councils (CDCs), elders, women, local authorities, teachers, local health workers, traders, small businesspersons, green house owners, shopkeepers, and technical workshop workers, NGOs working in the districts, line ministries W &

Fieldwork The research team visited each proposed district to become more familiar with the target area, assess the technical feasibility of the project activities, gain an overview of the status of Energy Efficiency sector in Nangarhar, to assess the needs and the degree to which the proposed strategy and action responds to those needs. In total, the team visited 23 villages in Kama and 11 villages in Kuz Kunar district. The team conducted a comprehensive survey of both districts including rivers, waterfalls, irrigation canals, existing energy resources, water operating flouring mills, schools, hospitals, clinics, and accessibility to the potential project sites. Engineers measured and assessed in the field project technical aspects for planning, design, construction, operation, maintenance, sustainability, and benefits. The team collected data, records, technical details and specifications, applicable policies and guidelines, existing restrictions and limitations against project planning and implementation. The team used technical equipment i.e., level for measuring elevation difference; geo positioning system (GPS) for coordinates location, water flow speed, land terrain, land ownership status of the potential project sites and other relevant aspects with the villagers.
Identified need for construction or reparation of MHPs in target districts A technical team as part of the study visited and surveyed several villages and sites where there was a potential for micro hydropower system construction as according to the people and CDC representatives. The team also visited those sites where no MHP potential existed, but only photovoltaic energy generation was the choice

3. Feasibility Study of Irrigation project
Location: Murghgiran village in paghman district of Kabul Province
Duration: 1 month (05.04.2015 to 15.04.2015)
Project #: AFG1147-SC/FS-01
The project was conducted by NCRO team for implementation of irrigation project in Murghgiran village in paghman district of Kabul Province Murgh Giran Village: It is one of the largest villages in Paghman district located at the southern part of the district at the south side of Kabul Kandahar highway. Some 3500 families (according to community representatives) live in this village. They are mainly farmers; each family having little land for agriculture. The irrigation water is coming from the springs in high mountains in three valleys of Kajdara, Tanddara, and Arghandi to their farmlands. Water source is some two kilometres away from the farmlands. The source is not very large and water flow become smaller in summer particularly in drought years. The water runs in steep hillside canals where up to half of it spills over the canal edges and a lot of more goes down into the soil and disappears along the canal, not usable for irrigation.
The farmers therefore cannot cultivate their entire agricultural land due to the shortage of irrigation water. They only cultivate one third or less of their lands each year. Farmers still face irrigation water shortage in summer for the limited land they cultivate where crops and vegetable need a lot of water. Farmers here usually cultivate wheat, beans, corns, barley potatoes, onions, eggplants, ladyfingers, and pumpkins.
Most of the villagers (up to 80%) of the people irrigate their lands with water coming from Kajdara valley canal as it is the largest water source compared to the others. Similarly Kajdara valley karez provides drinking water for the majority of the villagers. The karez is very old and needs cleaning and basic repair. As Kajdara valley canal and spring provide irrigation and drinking water to most of the villagers, they need better care and maintenance.

Data Collection Methodology: A pre-prepared questionnaire was used for collection information from the community representatives. Village representatives were gathered in the form of a group of seven persons including CDC key members, community elders, and representatives of women. The survey team discussed with the village representatives issues related to their irrigation water shortage. The information our survey team has collected covered people problems with the shortage of irrigation water, their vulnerability, geographical locations for project implementation covering the most vulnerable target groups.
The data collectors discussed with community representatives their vulnerability due to irrigation water shortage, and technically surveyed the potential project site for practical solution of providing sustainable irrigation water supply.
The survey team carefully followed the old canal alignment and marked with level and GPS critical locations where heavy structures need to be made. They measure the length, slope of the new canal or the pipe line, steepness of hillsides, access to the project site different points and all the necessary parameters of the project.
The villagers are ready to provide the necessary security for the project implementation staff with a committee under the supervision of their chieftain

Project objective: The objective of this project is to reduce poverty and vulnerability by provision of irrigation water for agricultural land. Murgh Giran village community has quite a lot of agriculture land but lack or insufficiency or irrigation water is the root cause that people cannot cultivate their entire land. If irrigation water is provided to the village, its inhabitants can improve their living condition a lot with increase and improved agriculture. This irrigation water supply project is aimed to provide sustainable irrigation water supply to Murgh Giran village. This will lead the people to expand their agriculture and the people living condition will get improved and the level of poverty will be reduced in the community. .
