AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Wildlife & Trade: Souq Waqif’s falcon market is rebounding, with sales up about 60% as Qatar and other Gulf buyers prepare for Afghanistan’s migratory bird hunting season (early September to mid-February), pushing prices higher by type and origin. Environment & Enforcement: Afghanistan’s Ministry of Interior says security forces in Kunar arrested two people for illegal tree felling and timber trafficking, warning that cutting trees and hunting wild animals without permission is prohibited nationwide. Climate Disaster Lessons: Nepal’s flash floods are again tied to glacier collapse and extreme heat, with experts warning the wider Himalayan region is facing escalating, interconnected glacier risks as warming destabilizes ice. Food Security & Health: UNICEF reports severe child malnutrition is rising in Afghanistan, stressing early action and calling for more flexible, sustainable funding as hospitals face growing pressure. Aid for Resilience: The EU provided €15 million to WFP to strengthen climate resilience and local food systems in Afghanistan, including support for women and youth and school feeding. Governance & Media Freedom: The Afghanistan Journalists Center urges the Taliban to reopen the Lapis Media Office in Kabul after its shutdown and equipment confiscation. Local Jobs Pressure: In Bamyan, the Taliban-run municipality shortlisted 121 applicants for a night watchman role, highlighting how educated Afghans are being pushed into low-skilled service work amid deep unemployment.
