Over the past years, NAC has supported rural communities, those in the most vulnerable situation to natural disasters, in Badakhshan, Daikundi, Faryab and Ghazni in reducing the risk for and impact of climate change through, among other things, the construction of protective infrastructure. The support has included the construction of gabion walls, water reservoirs, aqueducts, syphons, check dams, diversion dams, intakes, water dividers, sandy dams, local water schemes, protection and retaining walls, and other infrastructure construction or rehabilitation that focused on protecting land, soil, and trees from the effects of natural disasters or climate change.<\/p>\n

Recently, we conducted a rapid assessment of a few of these projects to learn about their status and outcomes and to see how things have changed since the projects were completed. Our teams visited the project sides, talked to community members, and re-assessed the vulnerability status. As part of this, we looked back at the disaster history of each site – what type of disasters are common and what has happened since the protection was put in place.<\/p>\n

This report brings together what we found from four of those sites. For each one, we explain why the community was chosen, what they were going through before the project, and what their situation looks like today. The four infra projects covered here are:<\/p>\n
