RAHA encourages participatory approach amongst all the community members. This CO meeting for the construction of a new amusement park for children and families, is a true depiction of participation and ownership of the local community. Since its inception the community has been able to initiate savings and mobilize resources for this project.
RAHA hand pumps scheme implemented through the community organization “Upper Darbandan,” of village Darbandan UC, Derwish - district Haripur.
Muhammad Jaan, 103 says, “RAHA is a breath of fresh air for the locals especially women, earlier we were only restricted to household chores and now I conduct a monthly meeting at my place with the help of the facilitators. We are more aware of our surroundings and I haven’t felt this productive in my entire life”.

Head of school Raziya, 27 says, “ We are thankful to RAHA for providing us an extra class room and toilets. There are 80 students in the school and earlier half of them used to sit outside on the ground. A comfortable environment is very important for children to concentrate on their lessons”.
Ghani’s neighbour, Mubarak Shah, has also watched the landscape deteriorate.
“6 years ago, huge floods destroyed the canal and all the trees here," he recalls. "We repaired the canal by hand — but it was a temporary fix.”
Mubarak knew the floods would come again, and the villagers would have to gather once more — with basic tools, calloused hands and sweat soaked shirts — to repair what they could until the next time.
Afghanistan is one of the most vulnerable countries for climate change; even here, in beautiful, mountainous Panjshir province.
In response, UNDP is helping farmers grow more and protect themselves from natural disasters.
Our Climate Change Adaptation project operates in four provinces and is made possible with funding from the Global Environment Facility's Least Developed Countries Fund.

Overcoming barriers:
Human mobility and development
Human development is about putting people at the centre of development. It is about people realizing their potential, increasing their choices and enjoying the freedom to lead lives they value. Since 1990, annual Human Development Reports have explored challenges including poverty, gender, democracy, human rights, cultural liberty, globalization, water scarcity and climate change.
Migration, both within and beyond borders, has become an increasingly prominent theme in domestic and international debates, and is the topic of the 2009 Human Development Report. This report breaks new ground in applying a human development approach to the study of migration.

Within the hard economic situation, UNDP is establishing an agroforestry site to serve the beekeepers of Akkar in their winter production of honey. As they are faced with seasonal climatic challenges, around 240 beekeepers from the area are obliged to rent lands at lower altitudes to settle their beehives and undergo the winter seasons. To minimize their expenses and protect their honey production, this site is being established in Tal Abbas, a village in the Sahel Union of Akkar, in collaboration with the municipality of Tal Abbas and the beekeepers cooperative of Akkar. As it is being implemented by around 50 Lebanese and Syrian men and women of Akkar, as a short-term income-generating opportunity for them, the site will be planted by winter flowering trees and herbs to ensure winter productivity of the beekeepers. The site will host around 100 beehives and plant around 500 flowering trees. Not only will it serve for honey production, but the species planted on this land will ensure fruits and herb production that will generate the income needed for the maintenance and operational management of the site.
