Rangeland Management Project (RAMA)

Progetto concluso

Poor and landless families depend on rangeland resources for livestock rearing, fuel and fodder collection. A growing population puts increased pressure on limited resources, while decades of conflict and displacement have weakened rangeland management systems. RAMA will improve livelihoods and food security of rural households through empowering the communities to sustainably manage and use their rangeland resources in order to generate equitable benefits.

Contesto Rangelands account for 79% of Afghanistan’s agricultural land and are mostly used as common property. Rangelands are crucial for livestock production, which is of particular importance for the livelihoods and food security of poor and landless households. However, in the absence of effective governing systems, a growing population puts increased pressure on rangeland resources, resulting in their degradation through erosion processes and putting them at risk of desertification.
Obiettivi The overall objective of RAMA is that “Poor families improve their livelihoods through sustainable natural resource management”.
Gruppi target

The project will establish and work with 30 Rangeland Management Associations and 4’500 rural households in 6 target districts of Daykundi province (Nili, Khadir, Ishtarlay, Shahrestan, Mir Amur, and Sangi Takht).

The project will also engage with national, provincial and district level government authorities, notably from the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock.
