The Agroforestry system in Malistan district combines traditional practices with support from the Community-Based Sustainable Land and Forest Management project in Afghanistan. This initiative provides technical support, training, and resources like apple trees, fertilizers, and alfalfa seeds to establish 400 orchards (1,000 m² each). The goal is to enhance community livelihoods by reducing dependence on rangelands, helping to preserve local ecosystems.

To raise awareness and ensure clear role delineation, a series of consultations were held with the local community, the Forest Management/Rangeland Management (FM/RM) association, and other key stakeholders. Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that formally outlined the roles and responsibilities of each party was signed. Additionally, the FM/RM association issued a letter of guarantee to support the establishment of a learning site dedicated to promoting best practices in forest and rangeland management. (e.g. cumin) through community’s own contributions.

The project “Scaling up experiential learning tools for sustainable water governance in India” aimed at enhancing sustainable water management at scale by improving the capacities of 1,500 rural communities covering 105,000 households directly and 2,000 communities covering 140,000 households indirectly in six Indian states to manage water more sustainably. This was achieved through experiential learning from collective action games, structured community debriefings, and participatory water planning tools that contribute to greater awareness and improved governance, inducing behavioural change toward more sustainable water governance and management. The work was jointly conducted by the Foundation for Ecological Security, India (FES), the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT).
