Direct Involvement With Two Organizations:
Direct Relation With:
1) MAAHF (Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Food)2) MoT-AMA (Ministry of Transport/Afghan Meteorological
Department)
Indirect Relation With: • MPW - Ministry Of Energy and water• MRRD -Ministry Of Rural Development and Rehabilitation
1) To support the Establishment of a complete Agrometeorological Network in Afghanistan
2) Capacity building and training off staff from Ministry of Ag and AMA for sustainable project
3) Provide decision makers, Ag extension, farmers and others with more accurate information for timely respond to minimize impacts
Inputs:a) Ground Observations:
Rain/Snow stations, Installed 93, expected 70 more to be installed very soon.
Classic stations 22. Automatic complete stations, 6 (1 not yet installed). Forth nightly Crop monitoring sites, 80 locations.
Inputs:b) Satellite observations:
