The National Multi-sectoral Assessment on Kuchi collected information on geographical locations and migration routes for Kuchi communities in late 2003. The purpose of the assessment was to provide baseline information which can be used for planning and programming. The Kuchi communities were surveyed in their winter locations, and GPS coordinates were taken. The summer locations and migration patterns are based upon reported data. Maps with the geographical winter locations of the Kuchi communities and their migration routes have been placed on a dynamic server. The address for the dynamic server is http://82.205.204.77/geonetwork/srv/en/vamsie.main Click here to view guidelines on the use of the dynamic server. Click here to view which maps are available on the dynamic server. Types of Kuchi Kuchi can be differentiated in: - long range migratory Kuchi - short range migratory Kuchi - settled Kuchi Separate maps are available for these categories of Kuchi.

These households remain in the same location, and can therefore be reached throughout the entire year. Maps are available which show these partially migratory communities, where at least 25% of the households are non-migratory, and where at least 50% of the households are not migratory. click here to go directly to the maps Click here to go to the guidelines on the use of the dynamic maps Migration routes Separate maps have been created for the short-range and long-range migratory Kuchi. The number of households that are migrating from the same winter area to the same summer area have been aggregated. The width of the arrow represents the total number of households with the same migration pattern. For the long-range migratory kuchi two maps are available; aggregated at district level and aggregated at province level. For the short-range migratory Kuchi one map is available: aggregated at district level. click here to go directly to the maps Click here to go to the guidelines on the use of the dynamic maps The following maps are available at the dynamic server: - Geographical winter location of all Kuchi - Geographical winter location of only long-range migratory Kuchi - Geographical winter location of only short-range migratory Kuchi - Geographical winter location of only settled Kuchi - Geographical winter location of all long-range migratory kuchi communities, where a minimum of 25% of the households are not migratory; a minimum of 25% stays in the winter location for the whole year. - Geographical winter location of all long-range migratory kuchi communities, where a minimum of 50% of the households are not migratory; a minimum of 50% stays in the winter location for the whole year. - Geographical winter location of all short-range migratory kuchi communities, where a minimum of 25% of the households are not migratory; a minimum of 25% stays in the winter location for the whole year. - Geographical winter location of all short-range migratory kuchi communities, where a minimum of 50% of the households are not migratory; a minimum of 50% stays in the winter location for the whole year. - Migration routes click here to go directly to the maps Click here to go to the guidelines on the use of the dynamic maps
