Summary: “Five NGOs, CRS, IMC, IRC, Shelter for Life and World Vision, have been cooperating together over the past five months to develop sustainable, appropriate and high impact programming for western Afghanistan. As part of the collaboration, the five NGOs conducted a joint assessment between Sept. 25 and October 6th 2002. This was carried out with inputs from all five NGOs. Western Afghanistan has suffered from four years of drought, internal conflict, lack of access, and the degradation of public infrastructure through the neglect of previous regimes. Migration over the past 18 months has seen the IDP population outside urban centres like Herat reach unsustainable levels at its peak. Despite some rain this year and a limited harvest, considerable areas of Western Afghanistan remain food insecure”—(p. 2).
