Update on Sherzad District Situation/Petition – DoRR:

DoRR Nangarhar informed that 626 families have approached DoRR as displaced from Sherzad and some parts of Khogyani district on the border with Sherzad district. These IDPs have moved to Chamtala of Khogyani, Shekh Mesri, Duronta, Moimubarak, Charbagh, Marghondai of Surkhrod district and Jalalabad city. It was agreed that pre-screening committee led by IRC and attended by IMC, WAW, DACAAR and DoRR will review the petitions and share the final list with OCHA for assessment & response to be led by IRC. DoRR Director raised concern that as the conflict continues in the area, the number of displaced people may increase.

Discussion on bulk of petitions/long lists from districts with no emergency situation – with High Rejection rate – OCHA, DoRR and partners:

OCHA reiterated the concern of humanitarian community about high rejection rate in petitions and enquired the floor about the key reasons being noted during the joint needs assessments. DoRR informed of a team deployed from MoRR screening the petitions based on their experience and training obtained. The Director informed of the ongoing efforts to reduce the chances of fake petitions. But he also shared the concern of IDPs about the questions and lack of female staff in the assessment teams limiting the access. The Director added that sometime the assessment teams make decision on telephone contacts only.

The humanitarian agencies mentioned some of the key reasons for rejections as:-  Lack of database for recording IDPs data – to track it properly  Repeated petitions with different names after receiving humanitarian assistance  Protracted IDPs from the same districts make efforts to obtain assistance – making petitions  Host communities found having submitted petitions  Rejected families resubmit petitions with different name  District Governors and Community Leaders exaggeration in the initial information about displacement during conflicts Measures suggested to improve and reduce the rejection:  IOM working with MoRR and OCHA in Kabul on developing the IDPs database  District Governors and Line Directorates (DoRR and ANDMA) take accountability for the information and petitions  Assessment teams to visit the reported families and fill the HEAT form and clearly state the reasons for rejection and is mutually agreed  Partners make effort to recruit female staff and train them for the needs assessment  Police Security Check points record the IDPs at the time of their displacement and share it with DoRR  Assessment teams to try the given telephone number of IDPs repeatedly during the assessment period.
