The GL-CRSP received this email from Mesbah Motamed shortly after the GL-CRSP sponsored Afghan Livestock Sector Workshop held on May 17-19, 2008 in Kabul, Afghanistan. The workshop resulted in the prioritization of specific areas for livestock-related program activities and commitments to advocate strongly on the behalf of livestock producers and pastoralists in Afghanistan.

"Dear Colleagues,
As a follow up to last month's GL-CRSP sponsored Livestock Workshop, I'd like to introduce to you a new weblog entitled Livestock Activity in Afghanistan, dedicated to serving the community of livestock specialists and development professionals in Afghanistan. The URL is:
http://afghanlivestock.blogspot.com/
On this weblog, you'll currently find documentation related to the recent Livestock Workshop, but more importantly, I hope that it might serve to facilitate your efforts to coordinate and share details about your activities and plans. Please don't hesitate to direct your announcements to me, and I'll gladly post them on the weblog. And don't forget to check back frequently for updates.
As well, I'm eager to hear your suggestions to improve the utility or functionality of this website. As a service to the livestock sector and its advocates, my hope is that this tool might respond to a real need and create new opportunities.
Finally, please kindly forward this announcement to any individuals or groups I may have neglected to include.
With best wishes and sincere thanks for your participation,
Mesbah Motamed"
