Coordination Saves Lives Afghanistan Emergency Situation Report No. 3 | 2 Situation Overview GoIRA structure for the returnee response has been set and will be retained under the Chairmanship of CEO Dr. Abdullah and an Executive Council involving participation from the UN and Government agencies. Three Working Groups – Finance, Technical and Policy – have been established to support the further streamlining of the response. The Policy Committee will be supported in their role by the Deputy National Security Advisor, UNHCR and IOM; the Technical Committee by Arazi, UNHCR, UN Habitat and UNAMA rule of law; and the Financial Committee by the Ministry of Finance, the World Bank and UNHCR. The 30 November has been set for preliminary planning issues to be agreed. The President has stipulated that Arazi will be responsible for land allocation, a departure from the existing mechanism which also sees MoRR have a role. The main aim of the Technical Committee will be to overcome existing bureaucratic impediments to long-term issues such as land allocation and data management, as well as significantly increase the capacity of the Tasfiya team, which currently only has 8 staff members nationwide.
