  • Details of the Project Procurement Activities Published Under GPN. GENERAL PROCUREMENT NOTICE (GPN) Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan
    Details of the project procurement activities published under GPN. GENERAL PROCUREMENT NOTICE (GPN) Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Public Disclosure Authorized Eshteghal Zaiee – Karmondena Project (EZ-Kar) Project ID No.: P166127 Implementing Agencies: 1. Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) 2. Independent Directorate of Local Governance (IDLG) 3. Kabul Municipality (KM) 4. Ministry of Economy (MoEc) Procurement of Goods, Works, Consultancy and Non-Consultancy Services for the EZ-Kar Project The Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GoIRA) has been provided with a grant (US$ 50 million) from the Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF) and a grant Public Disclosure Authorized (approximately US$ 150 million) from the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank Group, thus totaling grants of US$ 200 million, towards the cost of the Eshteghal Zaiee- Karmondena Project (EZ-Kar), and it intends to apply part of the proceeds of these grants to payments for goods, works, related non-consulting and consulting services to be procured under this project. PROJECT INFORMATION Since 2016, there have been a significant number of Afghan refugees returning to the country. The number of internally displaced within Afghanistan due to conflicts, droughts and mounting insecurity has also risen significantly. Together the returnees and IDPs have concentrated in some provinces and especially in some cities. The high influx of displaced populations in some areas has also added to the pressures on the host communities on limited resources, public infrastructure and economic and employment opportunities. The Public Disclosure Authorized Project Development Objective (PDO) of the EZ-Kar is to strengthen the enabling environment for economic opportunities in cities where there is a high influx of displaced people.

  • Impacts of Climate Change on the Water Resources of the Kunduz River Basin, Afghanistan
    climate Article Impacts of Climate Change on the Water Resources of the Kunduz River Basin, Afghanistan Noor Ahmad Akhundzadah 1,*, Salim Soltani 2 and Valentin Aich 3 1 Faculty of Environment, University of Kabul, Kart-e-Sakhi, Kabul 1001, Afghanistan 2 Institute for Geography and Geology, University of Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg, Germany; [email protected] 3 Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Am Telegraphenberg, 14473 Potsdam, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +93-(0)-707083359 Received: 30 August 2020; Accepted: 16 September 2020; Published: 23 September 2020 Abstract: The Kunduz River is one of the main tributaries of the Amu Darya Basin in North Afghanistan. Many communities live in the Kunduz River Basin (KRB), and its water resources have been the basis of their livelihoods for many generations. This study investigates climate change impacts on the KRB catchment. Rare station data are, for the first time, used to analyze systematic trends in temperature, precipitation, and river discharge over the past few decades, while using Mann–Kendall and Theil–Sen trend statistics. The trends show that the hydrology of the basin changed significantly over the last decades. A comparison of landcover data of the river basin from 1992 and 2019 shows significant changes that have additional impact on the basin hydrology, which are used to interpret the trend analysis. There is considerable uncertainty due to the data scarcity and gaps in the data, but all results indicate a strong tendency towards drier conditions. An extreme warming trend, partly above 2 ◦C since the 1960s in combination with a dramatic precipitation decrease by more than 30% lead to a strong decrease in river discharge.

  • Counterinsurgency, Local Militias, and Statebuilding in Afghanistan
    [PEACEW RKS [ COUNTERINSURGENCY, LOCAL MILITIAS, AND STATEBUILDING IN AFGHANISTAN Jonathan Goodhand and Aziz Hakimi ABOUT THE REPORT Much international effort and funding have focused on building and bureaucratizing the means of violence in Afghanistan. At the same time, parallel government and NATO experiments have armed local defense forces, including local militias, under the Afghan Local Police (ALP) program to fight the insurgency and provide security at the local level. This report—which is based on a year’s research in Kabul and the provinces of Wardak, Baghlan, and Kunduz—seeks to understand the role and impact of the ALP on security and political dynamics in the context of ongoing counterinsurgency and stabilization operations and the projected drawdown of international troops in 2014 .

  • Highlights Situation Overview
    Afghanistan Flash Floods Situation Report No. 7 as of 1800h (local time) on 15 May 2014 This report is produced by OCHA Afghanistan in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It was issued by OCHA Afghanistan. It covers the period from 24 April to 15 May 2014. The next report will be issued on or around 20 May 2014. Highlights The number of flood-affected people is 115,500 in 17 provinces and 97 districts. Following new assessments, the numbers of people affected by floods has reduced by about 6,000, while increased by one additional province (Khost) and nine new districts. Jawzjan, Faryab, Sari Pul remain the most affected provinces, accounting for two thirds of all the flood affected to date. Assessments and immediate relief distributions have been taken place in 80% of all affected districts. Relief distributions are ongoing in the most-recently affected districts and for some sectors. Sufficient relief stocks remain in country for the response. Constraints on access remain due to ruptured roads. The Mazar-Kabul highway has been repaired in Balkh, allowing only passenger vehicles to use it. There are no material changes on security related access. More and more attention is on the planning for the rehabilitation and rebuilding of damaged and destroyed homes (over 8,300), infrastructure and livelihoods. Land allocation and restitution to areas which are less prone to recurrent floods, is one way of incorporating disaster risk reduction in a meaningful way. The recently endorsed displacement policy provides a template in this regard. Summary of Affected, Needs, and Assessments ‐ 15 May 2014 (Source: OCHA field offices and PDMC) Situation Overview No.

  • Afghanistan: Extreme Weather Regional Overview Key Highlights
    Afghanistan: Extreme Weather Regional Overview (as of 04 March 2015) Key Highlights: Forecasts over the next three days predict snowfall and rain. Potential flooding predicted in southern Paktika and for parts of Zabul and Nangarhar. Assessments in Panjsher suspended as road access remains blocked due to snow in remaining four villages. Government reiterates sufficient capacity remains in-country to meet humanitarian needs. International support to future reconstruction and rehabilitation of affected areas remains a priority. Meetings and Coordination: National Security Council technical working group Following criticism from the media of the Government response to date, today’s meeting of the Working Group focussed on how the Government can ensure more effective public messaging in terms of their coordination and response to the various emergencies affecting Afghanistan. It was agreed that line ministries would seek to improve their tracking of the totality of response efforts to date. A consolidated report will be pulled together by the Working Group and shared widely to all ministries and provincial offices, as well as external stakeholders, including the media, in order to better reflect the work of the Government. Consolidated information will be shared with OCHA. The CEO directed Mr. Barmak to compile an overview of all housing damage, livestock losses and other damaged or depleted income sources owing to extreme weather. MRRD and the Ministry of Public Works were tasked to carry out the assessment. Mr. Barmak also clarified that the President’s office had placed no ban on ministries and governors speaking to the press. Rather, all ministries and governors should ensure when making statements about the scale of the emergency or the number of people affected, they should cross-check their information through the Working Group to ensure use of verified figures.
