For a long-term solution I would take a look at what Lambi Fund
(www.lambifund.org) is doing in Haiti, or rather what the Haitian peasants
themselves are doing with support from Lambi. The focus is on giving seed
money, training, and technical support to projects conceived by Haitians
grassroots groups. Although Haiti has a tropical climate, the extreme
degradation of the land has led to erosion and drought in many parts of the
country. The focus on a return to local self-sufficiency in food and other
goods would in any case apply to Afghanistan.
