During the meeting, both parties established the roadmap for future collaborations between iMMAP and ANDMA office in Panjshir. As most provinces in Afghanistan, Panjhir suffers from multiple natural disasters every year, which severely damage infrastructure, livelihoods and food stocks.
Within the next months, iMMAP will assist Panjshir province through monitoring the dynamics of the glacier in the region, generating and analyzing data on the land erosion occurred due to floods and river seasonality, and supporting the field teams in collecting, analyzing and visualizing food-security data.
As part of the USAID OFDA-funded DRR program, iMMAP Afghanistan will continue efforts to assist humanitarian and development stakeholders in the country (UN agencies, NGOs, and Government) for better humanitarian coordination, and the implementation of data-led, evidence-based emergency response operations, aimed at improving the quality of the assistance provided to the population of Afghanistan, one of the world´s most vulnerable countries to climate change.
