1 Inter-Cluster Needs Verification to Orakza INTER-CLUSTER NEEDS VERIFICATION TO ORAKZA AGENCY 9-12 March 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Key Findings; In order to ensure that humanitarian interventions meet the immediate needs of the returnees, an inter- cluster needs varication mission was undertaken to Orakzai from 9-12th March 2017 to gather pertinent and evidenced based data to facilitate PHPF resource allocation for 2017 according to the needs of the people. The needs assessment was based on key informant interviews, focus group discussions with key community representatives, meetings with the heads of line departments, FDMA, civil-military authorities. 1 During the meetings with the government officials which included staff from line departments and key community representatives, it was noted that humanitarian actors support is needed in all the sectors with the major being reconstruction of shelters, rehabilitation of water sources, solarization of the wash schemes, revival of agriculture and livelihood activities, provision of seeds and inputs, establishment of vocational skills centers, pre-fab structure for health and schools facilities. Phase-1 Return: Phase-1 return started on 21 April 2016 from Jerma embarkation point Kohat and continued till 9, May 2016. In this phase of return around 1,820 families received Voluntary Return Forms (VRFs) to return to Orakzai Agency. Phase-2 Return: In Phase-2 return which was started on 21 July 2016 from Jerma embarkation point Kohat and continued till 5 August, 2016. In this phase of return 5,798 families received VRF and facilitated to return to their areas of origin. Major caseload of the returnees in this phase were belonged to Ali Khel tribe which is 5,063 families. Phase-3 Return: In Phase-3 return which was started on 2 November 2016 from Jerma embarkation point Kohat and continued till 18 November, 2016. In this phase of return around 6,672 families got VRFs to return. In this phase of return major caseload of returnees were belonged to Mamozai tribe which is 5,393 registered families. Last return which was part of Phase-3 started on 26 Dec, 2016 and winded up on 2 January, 2017. In this phase of return a total 288 families were issued VRFs and major caseload of returnees belonged to Mamozai tribe i.e. 132 families. Though FDMA has completed the return process for Orakzai Agency in January, 2017 still physical returns of around 5,393 registered and 9,000 un-registered families have not materialized to Mamozai area and similarly families returned to Ali Khel, Aakhel and Rabia Khel areas have also returned back to the displacement areas due to lack of basic services and harsh weather conditions. The reasons for this secondary displacement is the lack of services in the areas of return, access constraints for public transport on the Shaho-Ghaljo road, dilapdated shelters and basic facilities. It is important to mention that some of the well-off families have two houses in the winter zone of Upper Orakzai and summer zone of KP. During winter they come down to districts in KP while in summer they go back to their houses in upper areas of the agency. Challenges: The mission could not visit the areas of Mamozai as the security personnel did not allow. Physical return to Mamozai tribe (5,393 registered and 9,000 un-registered families) is still pending due to cold weather conditions, lack of basic social services and damages to shelters. During focus group discussions with the returnees of Ali Khel, Mamozai and Aakhel tribe, it was stated that the majority of the returnee families are still residing in Hangu, Peshawar, Kohat and other districts of KP, due to the aforementioned factors. Families’ interviewed indicated that it will not be possible to use tents in the area and the most viable option for them is to start reconstruction of their houses once they receive the government housing compensation. According to the government approximately 80% of Ali Khel tribe have physically returned but as witnessed by the mission only 5% of the returnees were present in the areas of return. Extensive shelter damages observed in all the return areas and the rehabilitation will require the support from both humanitarian and government especially in the rehabilitation of water sources, solarization of the wash schemes, and revival of agriculture and livelihood activities, provision of seeds and inputs, establishment of vocational skills centers, pre-fab structure for health and schools facilities. 2 According to Agency Surgeon, only two out of 16 health facilities (Kool, Mullah Khel area and Badan, Dabori Ali Khel) are functional while the rest are damaged and non-functional. As per representative of Education department there are 113 boys and 60 girl schools in Upper Orakzai and all the buildings are damaged and closed due to non-availability of children. During visit to the villages of Ali Khel tribe areas of Dabori, Baghnok, Zanka Khel, the mission observed the presence of very few families due to the harsh cold weather, accessibility on security check posts, damaged houses and damaged infrastructure of Dabori market. Recommended Priority Actions: Initiation of youth projects which will safeguard them from indulging into any negative activities as such the CoRe business support program would be advisable. Vocational skills training for women and youth, cash for Work for the rehabilitation of water/ irrigation channels, streets and link roads. Creation of livelihood opportunities through CFW, women cash grants, business support and community based infrastructure schemes also CFW for debris removal. Set up temporary learning centres with furnishing and provision of schooling resources. Rehabilitation of schools that have standing structures and equip them with facilities. Equip educational facilities with WASH facilities and roads/pathways for ease of access to the facility. Provision of livelihood support to create short term employment through conditional assistance of food for work and food for training. Provision of seeds, inputs, land preparation and leveling for the revival and restoration of agriculture activities. The human resource inventory of the agency is showing a lack of trained female health staff, due to which there are deficient services, therefore it is imperative to fill the gap in essential human resource such as lady doctors, LHVs, midwives etc. Support for the construction of pre-fab structures of the health facilities which also should include equipment, furniture and medicines. Due to weather condition and type of construction provision of tents or transitional shelter would not be suitable therefore conditional cash assistance or shelter kit (including roofing kit and door, window) will be desirable for fully damaged houses and tool kit for partially damaged houses. Repair and reconstruction of water sources, WASH schemes, water supply pipelines for gravity schemes and solarization of the communal tube wells. Solarization/electrification for existing motorized water supply facilities. Provision of sanitation kits and cash for work for construction of toilets at HH level with guidance on sludge and waste water management. Rehabilitation of school/health facilities WASH structures for existing structures. Temporary structures for transitional educational/health facilities. Provision of standard Cluster Hygiene kits for areas with no access to markets and recent returns Background: Since November 2009, around 35,823 registered families got displaced from Orakzai Agency, mainly from A’Khel, Ali Khel, Mamozai, Rabia Khel, Dardar Mamozai, Feroz Khel, Mishti, Utman Khel, Sheikhan, Stori Khel and Bezoti tribes due to military operation against the non-state armed actors. Majority of the displaced families took refuge in the adjoining districts of Kohat and Hangu while vulnerable families were accommodated in Togh Sarai camp at Hangu district. Since April 2010 till the end of 30 December, 2016, 3 government has facilitated the return of around 32,9291 families to the de‐notified areas of Orakzai Agency. In the last phase‐3 return, it was announced that all the leftover IDPs will be facilitated to return to their areas of origin. However, around 2,894 families did not sign Voluntary Return Forms (VRFs). On 9 January, 2017 a meeting was held at FDMA wherein it was informed that all those families who did not sign their VRFs within stipulated timeframe of 4 weeks will be de‐registered from the IDPs data base and will no longer be considered as IDPs. The families from Mamozai tribe have been in displacement since November, 2009 and at the time of the mission, no physical return had taken place. Currently, 5,393 registered and 9,000 un-registered families remain displaced from their areas of origin. Their primary source of income was agriculture and livestock husbandry; market other facilities have not been restored including electricity. The immediate key priority for these tribesmen is the provision of support on shelter, which they noted will be the first to be done upon return. The construction of roads and water supply schemes was another crucial priority followed by provision of income generating activities particularly in farming and livestock. The need for vocational training institutes for women i.e. embroidery was also pointed out while the idea of an interest free microfinance scheme was appreciated. An official from FDMA pointed out that previously there was USAID funded microfinance venture initiated by Khushali Bank, but with limited number of beneficiaries and the amount provided to an individual as loan was PKR 25,000. The Aa Khel tribe was displaced in November, 2009 and return took place in May 2016. The areas of Aa Khel, Ali Khel and Rabia Khel has been cleared but only split families have returned back and the largest caseload of families yet to return to their areas of origin. Out of around 4 thousand families, around 1,155 were registered and rest were unregistered families. In Aa Khel areas SRSP had provided temporary shelter for 300 families under Pakistan Humanitarian Pool Funding.

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.
