West: Preparing and strengthening capacity for COVID-19 response On 24 February, the Ministry of Public Health reported that one case of COVID-19 had been confirmed in Hirat province. The person had recently travelled from Qom in Iran. All schools in Hirat have been reportedly closed and public gatherings banned until further notice. As of 3 March, health authorities were investigating 81 people presumptively for COVID-19. All 81 people have been kept in isolation wards. The focus of activities in Afghanistan is on both preparedness and containment, but the overall health capacity in the country to respond to a widespread COVID-19 outbreak is insufficient. On 1 March, a joint UN mission visited Hirat to assess the situation and needs. On 26 February, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator, supported by the Advisory Board of the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund, allocated US$1.5 million for urgently required COVID-19 preparedness and response capacity in-country. A total of 322 internally displaced families (2,029 people) were assessed and assisted in Hirat and Farah provinces. Following initial reports that 128 families (896 people) were reportedly displaced from Ghor, Badghis, Kunduz, Ghazni, Daykundi and Hirat (Shindand, Kushk-e-Kuhna and Obe district), a joint needs assessment from 23 February to 1 March identified 47 families (329 people) as being in need of humanitarian aid specifically food, relief items and water, hygiene and sanitation.

Protests took place in Armenia against recent changes in the judicial system. In Georgia, demonstrations took place calling for the opening of the Armenian border, which has been closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, restricting economic migration.

  • Politics and Governance in Afghanistan: the Case of Nangarhar
    Uzbekistan Tajikistan n Researching livelihoods and China Turkmenistan Tu Nangarhar Kabul Afghanistan Iran Pakistan Politics and Governance in Arabian Sea Afghanistan: the Case of Nangarhar Province Working Paper 16 Ashley Jackson June 2014 Funded by the EC About us Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium (SLRC) aims to generate a stronger evidence base on how people in conflict-affected situations (CAS) make a living, access basic services like health care, education and water, and perceive and engage with governance at local and national levels. Providing better access to basic services, social protection and support to livelihoods matters for the human welfare of people affected by conflict, the achievement of development targets such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and international efforts at peace- and state-building. At the centre of SLRC’s research are three core themes, developed over the course of an intensive one-year inception phase: § State legitimacy: experiences, perceptions and expectations of the state and local governance in conflict-affected situations § State capacity: building effective states that deliver services and social protection in conflict- affected situations § Livelihood trajectories and economic activity in conflict-affected situations The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) is the lead organisation. SLRC partners include the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU), the Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) in Sri Lanka, Feinstein International Center (FIC, Tufts University), Focus1000

More than sixty interviews with residents of Nangarhar and provincial and The Rise and Stall of national Afghan security officials carried out by The Liaison Office, an Afghan research and peacebuilding organization, in Nangarhar and Kabul in the spring and summer of 2016 informed this report. the Islamic State in ABOUT THE AUTHOR Afghanistan Casey Garret Johnson is an independent researcher focusing on violent extremism and local politics in Afghanistan. Summary • The Islamic State’s Khorasan province (IS-K) is led by a core of former Tehrik-e-Taliban Paki- stan commanders from Orakzai and Khyber Agencies of Pakistan; the majority of mid-level commanders are former Taliban from Nangarhar, with the rank and file a mixture of local Afghans, Pakistanis, and foreign jihadists mostly from Central Asia. • IS-K receives funding from the Islamic State’s Central Command and is in contact with lead- ership in Iraq and Syria, but the setup and day-to-day operations of the Khorasan province have been less closely controlled than other Islamic State branches such as that in Libya. • IS-K emerged in two separate locations in Afghanistan in 2014—the far eastern reaches of Nangarhar province along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, and Kajaki district of southern Helmand province.
