  • Kunduz Province — Market Monitoring Norwegian Refugee Council
    KUNDUZ PROVINCE — MARKET MONITORING NORWEGIAN REFUGEE COUNCIL mVAM AFGHANISTAN - MARKET MONITORING BULLETIN #4 11 – 15 May 2017 KEY FINDINGS Mazar City is the main supply market for Kunduz City which, in turn, supplies most of the food to the other districts in Kunduz province. The wave of conflict that occurred throughout Kunduz province in May affected the supplies from both Mazar to Kunduz City, and from Kunduz City to the rest of the province. As a result, both traders and customers reported facing difficulties accessing the district markets due to insecurity. Prices of staple foods (wheat flour and rice) were higher in all district markets of Kunduz province, compared to Mazar City; these prices had also increased locally in the past two weeks. Traders attributed the higher prices to reduced supply and higher transport costs from Mazar due to insecurity, but also to fluctuation of exchange rates between Afghan, U.S. and Pakistani currencies. Lack of work is a major concern—and an important driver of displacement towards other provinces. Daily wage rates for unskilled labour average AFN 280 (approx. USD 4) throughout the province, which is slightly higher than current rates in Mazar, and similar to rates in Kunduz province at this time of year in 2016. However, people are generally unable to find work. And while unemployment is chronically high in Kunduz it has been exacerbated by the recent wave of conflict. Labour opportunities are particularly scarce in Ali Abad, Khan Abad and Qala-e- Zal districts, where respondents said that most people could only find work for two days or less per week (compared to 3-5 days per week in the other districts).

  • 16 September 2010
    SIOC – Afghanistan: UNITED NATIONS CONFIDENTIAL UN Department of Safety and Security, Afghanistan Security Situation Report, Week 37, 10 - 16 September 2010 JOINT WEEKLY SECURITY ANALYSIS The week recorded a further decrease in the overall number of incidents with only the WR recording an increase, while the rest of the regions recording decreased or relatively consistent incident levels. This overall decrease is assessed to be a result of Eid celebrations, which continued for the first three days of the week, as well as AGE’s focus mainly on the elections and related activities and preparation for the offensive on the Election Day. This was manifested in the dramatic increase recorded in the election- related incidents. Lack of visibility in the SR, particularly in Hilmand is another factor contributing to the low numbers recorded in the region. Kunduz remained volatile in the NER, followed by Badakhshan mainly due to increased demonstrations. In the NR violence, mainly connected to the elections, was spread in most of the provinces. In the WR, Farah was the center of focus with increased IED incidents and Kandahar in the CR with a focus of AGE activity in Kandahar City. Uruzgan Province remained susceptible to AGE activity. The decrease in the SER was visible in the whole regions except for Paktika as a result of increasing attacks against the newly deployed surge troops. Kunar Province was the center of AGE activity with over 80% of all the incidents in the region. In the CR, Logar and Wardak remained the most active districts and together accounted for 70% of all the incidents.

The research conducted for this thesis was done in Kunduz, Afghanistan, as part of the research for the baseline study of the evaluation of the Netherlands Integrated Police training Mission in Kunduz, Afghanistan. In June 2011, I left for the first time for Afghanistan to work for an Afghan NGO; the Cooperation for Peace and Unity. It was a one month assignment, and I was to analyse local level disputes in Kunduz province and Takhar province in Northern Afghanistan. My work was published as two [unnamed] Local Conflict Trend Analysis Papers in early 2012. When I returned to the Netherlands in July 2011, I was asked by the same Afghan NGO if I was interested in coming back to Kabul to work for them as a project manager. Together with an American colleague, Seth Peavey, I was responsible for managing the (field-)research related to the evaluation of the Netherlands Integrated Police training Mission in Kunduz, Afghanistan.

  • Afghanistan: Flash Floods Update No
    Afghanistan: Flash Floods Update No. 8 (as of 2 April 2019) SITUATION OVERVIEW • Heavy rains caused flash flooding on 27, 28 and 29 March in six provinces - Faryab, Balkh, Jawzjan, and Sar-e-Pul province in the North- ern Region, and Hirat and Badghis in the Western Region. While assessments are on- going, an estimated 17,000 people have been affected with Balkh and Hirat suffering the worst impacts. These are the first major floods in the Northern Region in the season. • In Balkh, unconfirmed reports suggest several fatalities in Chemtal district, with up to 645 families (4,515 people) affected throughout the Province. • In Hirat Province, assessments are ongoing, however the Ministry of Health has reported that eight people died and nine were injured in six districts following flash flooding, while more than 1,000 families may have been affected. • This new flooding adds to the impact of the overall flood emergency, with Farah and Kandahar the most effected to date. Since the beginning of 2019, more than 163,000 people have now been af- fected by floods, including those in the past week. A total of more than 42,000 people have been dis- placed. • Due to the above-average snow and rainfall throughout the winter, the conditions for more flooding through the spring remain a concern and humanitarian organizations are planning to ensure they have enough supplies for the remainder of the season. HUMANITARIAN NEEDS AND RESPONSE Northern Region Balkh Afghan Red Crescent Society (ARCS) assessment teams have so far identified 187 families in need (49 houses completely destroyed & 138 severely damaged) in Mazar-e-Sharif, while 161 families in Solara and 297 families in Chemtal districts have been assessed as affected.
