The situation in Afghanistan is compounded by violent conflict, recurrent natural hazards, poor governance, political instability and under-development. The ten year conflict has continued to expand and intensify across the country giving rise to civilian casualties, population displacement, disruption of basic services as well as humanitarian and development assistance projects. The targeting of civilians through assassinations and executions continued to grow in 2011 with increasing numbers of civilian deaths and injuries, as a result. In addition, 147,661 people were displaced due to conflict in 2011 bringing the total estimated conflict displacement caseload to 472,601 (UNHCR and MoRR, October 2011); and almost four million recorded Afghan refugees remain in Iran and Pakistan. In areas where there is little or no humanitarian access, the proportion of the population that may exist in conditions bereft of basic assistance and protection may by significantly larger underpinning the imperative to improve access arrangements.

Afghanistan is also highly prone and vulnerable to natural disasters from floods, epidemics, earthquakes, rock slides, landslides, sandstorms, avalanches, drought and periods of extreme low temperature. According to the ECHO Humanitarian Implementation Plan for Afghanistan in November 2010, the country undergoes an average of eight major natural disasters per year. Over the past ten years, the Afghan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) and IOM estimate another 400,000 persons are affected by other natural hazards each year. In 2011, an estimated 22,716 people have been displaced due natural disasters, according to IOM. One of the most devastating regularly occurring large scale natural disasters is drought. Since 2000, the country has experienced eight slow onset droughts, with the recent drought for 2011-2012 impacting an estimated three million people in need of emergency assistance in the north, north east and west of the country.

Population displacements by both conflict and natural hazards are expected to continue and escalate in 2012, causing widespread humanitarian needs, and affecting the most vulnerable groups of communities, for example women, girls, boys and men, the sick, the disabled and the elderly, whose experiences of displacement, as well as their capacities to respond, as well as their needs and priorities are quite distinct to each group. Given the number of small and medium scale emergencies that can occur in Afghanistan over the

Page 32 of 432. year, which may not be accounted for in CAP programming, there is a need to maintain locally based rapid funding capacity. While a good number of the traditional humanitarian donors in country have such capacity, the Afghanistan Emergency Response Fund (ERF), managed by OCHA, also provides timely and flexible funds for urgent life saving humanitarian activities, with a focus on support to local and international NGOs, who are best-positioned to provide direct response to the emergencies in remote areas within a very short time. In 2011, the Afghanistan ERF disbursed USD $2.4 million to 10 projects in Emergency Shelter/NFIs, WASH, Nutrition and Cash for Work. The target funds available for the ERF in 2011, which will be the same in 2012, was USD $8 million, of which donors contributed 75 per cent of the total requirement. The remaining balance of the ERF is USD $3.5 million as of October 2011. Activities

The ERF provides immediate funds in response to: natural disasters and conflict affected populations; relief activities after disaster and initiate life saving humanitarian activities to reduce acute vulnerabilities in the response to conflict and natural disasters; and support existing needs that are newly identified because of improvements in access and/or information.

The UN Humanitarian Coordinator is the lead in the oversight and management of the fund as the UN signatory on the Memoranda of Understanding with the implementing partners. The HC also leads on fundraising efforts and engagement with the government, UN agencies, and NGOs to ensure high -level coordination of the ERF with other activities.

OCHA Afghanistan maintains the overall secretariat function on behalf of the HC. This secretariat function includes: the application process; proposal review with OCHA Regional Offices, Clusters and Review Boards; administrative processes; project monitoring; reporting to the HC, Advisory Board, Government and HCT; and annual narrative, financial reports and audits. In order to sharpen implementing partners’ focus on gender equitable programming in ERF projects, OCHA will introduce the use of the IASC Gender Marker tool in 2012.

The Implementing Organization, upon signature of the MoU with the HC, facilitates the project implementation in collaboration with the local coordination mechanisms and government bodies with regular reporting narrative and financial to OCHA. Outcomes

The ERF will provide flexible, timely, predictable and transparent humanitarian funding in response to sudden onset emergencies in Afghanistan, with a renewed focus on ensuring that ERF projects address critical gender equity issues that ensure that vulnerable women, girls, boys and men have equitable access to the humanitarian assistance and protection that ERF projects offer.

The quick funding is for life saving activities; to fill gaps in the humanitarian response; and to kick start the response to unforeseen situation or newly accessible disaster affected area to address acute needs of the population.

In the last three decades, Afghanistan has been confronted with an unprecedentedly complex humanitarian crisis. Conflict and natural disasters continue to have a devastating impact on already chronically vulnerable groups of the population, particularly women, girls and boys. Child Protection in Emergency (CPiE) coordination preparedness and response has been undermined for several reasons: the absence and effectiveness of Child Protection Sub Cluster, the lack of CPiE preparedness and response capacity in the country; poor levels of donor funding for CPiE activities; and failure to view CPiE activities as a priority . Through the establishment of the CPiE sub-Cluster in Afghanistan in 2010 there has been an increased recognition of the importance of CPiE coordination as a critical area of work in Afghanistan. UNICEF as the cluster lead and ‘provider of last resort’ aims to address the following technical areas of CPiE identified by the CPiE sub-cluster members for CAP 2012. 1. Strengthening CPiE Sub-Cluster coordination at national and regional level 2. Capacity-building (CB) on CPiE 3. CP Rapid and Comprehensive Assessments, which will include the collection and analysis of sex- and

Page 34 of 432. age-disaggregated data as a core activity.

CPiE Sub Cluster Coordination: More coherent and effective functioning of CPiE sub -Cluster Coordination plays a crucial role for effective response to children in emergency situations. It is, therefore, critical to strenthen dedicated national CPiE SC and establish/strengthen sub national CP clusters at regional level that link with the national CPiE. This task requires dedicated CPiE Sub-Cluster coordinator to systematically follow up the CPiE SC activities including promoting positive partnerships.

Capacity building (CB): is generally considered as a crucial element of CPiE preparedness and response plans, programmes and guidelines. Deficiency in technical capacity is often an important challenge in delivering CPiE responses by CP agencies and the Government of Afghanistan. The current lack of capacity of the Afghanistan CPiE sub-Cluster makes improving the quality of preparedness and response by CP agencies even more challenging. The fact that CPiE programming and response has not been seen as a priority has stalled its development in the country. The need to deal with these competing factors underlines the importance of CB for CP agencies in 2012. Building the overall capacity of the CP partners is the initial step in ensuring effective planning and delivery of age- and gender -specific assistance to girls and boys, and the existence of the skills needed for proper monitoring, accountability and transparency as well as it ensure a successful coordination and collaboration among CP agencies in implementing age- and gender -sensitive CPiE activities in the country. In the context of Afghanistan, it is highly important to uphold gender -balance while selecting participant for CB. Moreover, mainstreaming CP into the other sectors /clusters crucially important to ensure child-sensitive approach among humanitarian agencies.

Child Protection Assessment: the absence of information relating to girls and boys in emergencies has been a significant gap identified by the CPiE sub-Cluster members. A child protection assessment is a tool for gathering data relating to the situation of girls and boys of different age groups and to identify gaps in order to distinguish where there is a need for focused age and/or gender-specific CP emergency interventions. The analysis of the data and the situation is fundamental to devising evidence -based and pragmatic CPiE programmes in Afghanistan. The development of CPiE initiatives also requires a systematic situation analysis for future CPiE age, gender- and culturally-appropriate interventions. To this end, comprehensive CP assessment will be carried out in targeted locations in order to establish base line data relating to boys, girls, men and women. Activities

• Advocacy initiative among Child Protection agencies on the important of coordination and improve coordinated child protection emergency response at national and regional level. • Training of Trainers (ToT) on CPiE: A basic and comprehensive training course will be carried out. Equal number of male and female participant will participate, insofar as this is possible. The training course contains a range of modules relevant to CPiE such as Concept of CPiE, child’s rights and responding to violence in emergency, CP needs assessment, CPiE programming, psycho-social support, systems approach to CPiE, mainstreaming CPiE into regular CP programme, etc. • Development and piloting of an intensive simulation exercise to improve preparedness measures with all relevant CP actors (i.e. with colleagues from landmines, GBV, education) • Development of action plan for each agencies in order to ensure the mainstreaming of CPiE response into their regular programme and timely coordinated response for children in emergency • At least one orientation session to other sectors/clusters on mainstreaming CP into other clusters • In coordination with Protection Cluster of the respective regions, the CP rapid and comprehensive assessment in the selected communities in eight regions will focus on gender -sensitivities cultural practices, and will make every effort to have the equitable participation of women, men, girls and boys as well as male and female adolescents. • Establishment of data management system for children in emergency Outcomes

• Child Protection sub-Cluster coordination at the national level is strengthened and CP sub Cluster at sub-national levels have been is established. • Links between the national and sub-national clusters are strengthened. • At least 50 Child Protection Staff (25 female and 25 male) representing NGOs, UN and Government increase their technical capacity on CPiE through ToT training and function as a CPiE focal point in their respective organizations and actively involved in CPiE activities in the country • Other cluster members have increased understanding of CPiE and have initiated CP mainstreaming • Individual action plans have been developed by CPiE focal persons to enhance the internal CPiE technical

The Afghanistan Protection Cluster (APC) was launched in mid 2008 and has rolled out regional protection clusters in Herat, Mazar, Jalalabad and Kabul and Protection Working Groups in Kandahar, Gardez, Bamyam and Maymana. Ad hoc Protection Working Groups also operate in Kunduz and other provinces. The APC also supports 3 thematic sub-cluster/Task Force coordination groups: Gender-Based Violence (GBV), Housing, Land and Property (HLP) and Child Protection, and coordinates an ad hoc Advocacy Working Group to support protection of civilians advocacy and engage with relevant actors, including ISAF and UNAMA.

NRC has acted as Protection Cluster Deputy Co-Chair since 2009 and plays an important role in supporting UNHCR, as the designated cluster lead, to coordinate protection actors at national and sub -national level in order to improve awareness, planning and humanitarian response. In line with the organisation ’s commitment to humanitarian reform and the Principles of Partnership, NRC Afghanistan believes resourcing a dedicated NGO deputy cluster coordinator position will help to ensure requisite capacity is directed towards fulfilling the cluster work-plan objectives and enhance significantly the effectiveness of the Protection cluster across the country to achieve improved responses on the ground for IDPs requiring protection support.

The large scale of protection response required to meet the needs of IDPs and returning refugees in Afghanistan, as well as the advocacy efforts sought in order to profile these needs, means the APC relies on strong and active engagement of members across the country, particularly National NGOs. A dedicated NGO Deputy Coordinator position would enable NRC to ensure the APC is better able to reliably meet the commitments outlined in the cluster work plan and add much needed capacity to ensure more constructive engagement of relevant actors across the country.

The dedicated NGO Deputy Coordinator position will be solely responsible for supporting the implementation of the jointly agreed APC work plan commitments and provide technical support to the following priorities : improved national and regional cluster communication and interface on key protection priorities; practical guidance to protection coordination mechanisms and sub-clusters, protection advocacy with national authorities, military officials, donors and humanitarian actors; capacity -building of humanitarian partners and government to improve protection response; and, protection mainstreaming for inter -cluster mechanism nationally and regionally.

Page 37 of 432. The NRC Protection Cluster Deputy Coordinator will prioritise support to the APC to ensure the cluster better meets the following objectives: • Strengthening coordination and engagement of all relevant partners, particularly national NGOs, for improved protection response • Enhancing ability of APC to build capacity of other sector clusters and partners around protection analysis leading to improved assessment data to inform humanitarian response • Support APC planning and strategic direction in line with agreed cluster work-plan Activities

• Support the APC deliver improved protection coordination, with a focus on strengthening the capacity of sub-national level protection clusters and working groups • Facilitate stronger information exchange between national and sub-national protection actors. • Develop comprehensive protection tools and promote usage across clusters • Assist the APC to develop improved protection assessment tools that support the collection and analysis of disaggregated data by sex and age, and that are conducive to enabling equal participation of women, girls and boys in needs assessments • Develop the APC strategy and work plan in consultation with all APC members and ensure effective implementation • Support protection mainstreaming within the APC, ensuring that training needs are identified and met. • Tracking and documentation of protection concerns raised by sub -national protection clusters/working groups and timely compilation of advocacy reports • Train and develop capacity of protection cluster members and other relevant stakeholders on protection mainstreaming • Identify core advocacy concerns and develop and implement appropriate advocacy initiatives Outcomes

• Improved capacity and quality of information exchange by sub-national protection clusters/working groups • Increased participation and improved quality of protection reports by national and sub -national level protection actors • Improved protection analysis informs timely and appropriate response • Needs of affected populations, including those with special needs such as UACs, single female headed households, GBV survivors and persons affected by chronic illness and disability, are appropriately reflected in the APC work plan, informing and improving protection responses • Improved quality in the information management and documentation of protection concerns • APC members benefit from improved protection awareness and training, resulting in enhanced capacity to identify appropriate responses. • APC members and other relevant stakeholders have increased capacity to utilize protection mainstreaming principles in their activities • Improved quality in the documentation and reporting of protection advocacy priorities

The sheer size and scale of the emergency in Afghanistan, combined with the severe security challenges posed by a complex operational environment, call for strong coordination and joint planning among the large number of actors involved in humanitarian response. The humanitarian architecture and coordination at different levels (clusters, inter-cluster, Humanitarian Country Team) have improved during 2011, both in Kabul and in the field. The slow onset drought in the north of the country elicited a planned response through a CAP drought revision, following wide scale assessments. However, the process was not optimal and gaps still need to be addressed; much work remains to be done.

The Food Security and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC) needs to continue monitoring and addressing emergency food security issues based on reliable evidence, relevant and easily accessible information on needs and response options. There is a need to improve the way that available data is collated and the methodologies to guide situation analysis, response planning and decision making in a standardized, consistent and effective manner. FSAC is currently developing its capacity in Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) and Response Analysis Framework (RAF). As a result, two market analyses will take place in 2012 as well.

The FSAC has a key role to play in coordinating and planning humanitarian response in Afghanistan, and its coordination, strategic planning and information management capacity needs to be ensured and strengthened for timely and efficient humanitarian response. To strengthen the coordination team, the project plans to hire a full-time coordinator, information manager as well as an IPC coordinator for 6 months. Activities

• Establish and maintain effective FSAC coordination mechanisms, including working groups at the national and, where necessary and appropriate, regional levels. • Facilitate an agreement on efficient division of labour and the assignment of responsibilities among cluster partners, taking into account their comparative advantages and complementarities. • Introduce, develop and implement an emergency food security situation and response analysis toolkit to promote and facilitate transparent- and evidence-based decision making at sectoral level.

Page 40 of 432. • Ensure capacity building of FSAC members; adoption of standardized language; and develop outreach towards national NGOs. • Advocate for and ensure timely, effective and coordinated food security and agricultural responses, based on participatory and community based approaches. • Ensure regular collection, collation, analysis and dissemination of updated and relevant Cluster -specific information to all stakeholders. • Promote and support sector contingency and disaster preparedness planning and advocate for disaster prevention and risk reduction/management concerns. • Ensure full integration of cross-cutting issues, namely human rights, HIV/AIDS, age, gender and the environment, utilizing participatory and community-based approaches. In line with this, ensure food security data are collected as much as possible and in a disaggregated manner (such as by sex, age or disabilities). Outcomes

FSAC functions and has effective coordination mechanisms in place, including working groups at the national and, where necessary and appropriate, regional levels.

All Cluster members and stakeholders are well informed of Cluster-specific information and analysis, and are involved in the Cluster activities, as appropriate. Transparent and evidence based decision making mechanisms (through the introduction of IPC and RAF) are used for determining needs, identifying gaps and prioritizing responses by humanitarian partners in the FSAC. Efficient division of labor and assignment of responsibilities among Cluster partners, which takes into account their comparative advantages and complementarities, are agreed on and implemented to ensure timely and efficient emergency response. Advocacy for a timely, effective and coordinated food security and agricultural responses, based on participatory and community-based approaches. Sector contingency and disaster preparedness plans are in place and advocacy for disaster prevention and risk reduction/management concerns are carried out; Cross-cutting issues, namely human rights, HIV/AIDS, age, gender and the environment, are fully integrated in Cluster plans and activities, based on participatory and community based approaches. Disaggregated food security data is available.

Afghanistan is the midst of a complex humanitarian crisis and in the past 12 months the situation has worsened with the concomitance of events with a negative impact on Afghans in terms of safety and accessing basic services like education, health care, livelihoods and economic opportunities. As a consequence of these facts, a difficult 12 months lie ahead and a great effort in terms of coordination will be required within the humanitarian community in order to access, old and new, most vulnerable groups. Information management is a key component in humanitarian coordination, especially in the current context, while for the humanitarian community the access to vulnerable populations is often impeded by insecurity, natural disasters, difficult terrain, and climatic conditions. At the same the policy-makers struggle to have access to timely, periodic and reliable information. The unintended consequences of gaps in the decision process could blight a society ’s future for years or decades to come. The international response to crisis in Afghanistan has been slowed by a succession of uncoordinated analysis and lack of strategic information. In the current situation, even when information is gathered, its use is limited by several constraints:

• Missing recent baseline analysis on agriculture, health, nutrition, poverty and IDPs makes it extremely difficult to develop reliable gap analysis. • A proper monitoring system of the environmental, social and economic indicators has not yet been implemented. • The lack of standardized and interoperable information shared among the implementing organizations excludes an understanding of the context where data have been collected. • At the current stage, short and medium term forecasts of environmental, social and economic indicators is

Page 43 of 432. not provided by any organization. • In all the cluster partners the information currently available is in narrative format, lacks standardization, is missing geo-coordinates, and thus does not include the data/information necessary to facilitate analysis. These shortcomings inhibit the delivery of timely and effective information at the cluster level. • Attempts to harmonize data collected and monitoring tools have been carried out but the results of these efforts brought little or no positive impact on the information management. • The characterization of the gender dimension is often missing at several information levels, making difficult the monitoring and impact evaluation of humanitarian programs for this social group.

Addressing immediately the information management gaps is imperative in order to provide humanitarian organizations with tools and capacity to:

I. Map areas where humanitarian needs currently exist or are expected in 2012 II. Facilitate the creation of a shared and evidence based picture of the humanitarian situation III. Identify, characterize and prioritize the kind of assistance required and how to address it iMMAP has long recognized these ongoing problems and in 2011 has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ANDMA to improve the capacity of the Authority in terms of Disasters Risk Reduction and Response. In the same period an information management gaps assessment has been for OFDA partners and cluster groups. The results indicate that assistance is needed in the following three phases:

• Phase 1: Transfer of data and revised information collected from humanitarian clusters to a shared virtual space for common data repository. The revision of the information will include specific analysis to characterize the gender component at all the cluster information levels. • Phase 2: Transfer of the knowledge developed by iMMAP on information management for disaster risk reduction and response to the users of the spatial data infrastructure: initially UN-OCHA and ANDMA. • Phase 3: Advocacy and facilitation to provide the cluster groups with shared 3Ps (Policy, Process and Products) for Information Management. Activities

Objective 1: Transfer of data and clusters’ revised information to a common spatial data infrastructure for humanitarian organizations.

According to the draft of the Joint Information Management, iMMAP will implement a pilot spatial data infrastructure to storage its database and made it available to the humanitarian partners. These will be in a first phase UN-OCHA and ANDMA, according to their mandate related to emergency coordination and response.

• Creation of a shared virtual space for information management based on iMMAP ’s Spatial Data Infrastructure, according to the draft of the Joint Information Management • Data transfer to the common data repository: data, metadata, methods and reports. At this stage the existing data will be reviewed in order to highlight the gender component within the households vulnerability. o iMMAP will transfer to the common data repository the entire database developed in the period 2008 to 2011 and including:Topographic Maps, Satellite Imagery, Country Datasets developed from 2008 to 2011, Kabul datasets, Map products

• UN-OCHA and ANDMA provided with full access to the spatial data infrastructure

Objective 2: Transfer the information management knowledge developed by iMMAP to ANDMA and other United Nations organizations and humanitarian end users through best practices on data gathering, data processes (cleaning, standardization and analysis), participative mapping, spatial analysis and reports generation.

• Capacity building and joint-development of information management products between iMMAP, OCHA and ANDMA o Identification of information managers counterparts in ANDMA and creation of an iMMAP -ANDMA IM working group. o Training and joint-development of IM products for ANDMA (GIS, spatial analysis, database management, survey design, data analysis)

Objective 3: iMMAP provides technical assistance to facilitate the design of common 3Ps documents: Information Management Cluster Policy, Information Management Best Practices for Data Process and Information Management for Products for Humanitarian Coordination

• Contribution to the design of an “Information Management Cluster Policy” o iMMAP will implement and share the results of its technical evaluations in order to facilitate the discussion on information management gap assessment for the creation of an Information Management Cluster Policy: a. Technical solutions for the segregation of duties on IM among cluster groups, between the clusters and the inter-cluster coordination and in relationship to third parties b. Information management deliverables that must be produced by the cluster groups to facilitate the coordination of the humanitarian programs c. Quality criteria in terms of data harmonization, standardization and interoperability in order to ensure transparency, accountability and responsibility in the information generation process

• Contribution to the design of a common document on “Information Management Best Practices for Data Process” o According to the expertise developed, iMMAP will provide OCHA with technical reccomendations for the design a document on the best practices for data gathering and analysis.

• Contribution to the design of a common document on “Information Management Products for Humanitarian Coordination in Afghanistan” o iMMAP will share its experience in the design of reporting formats, data standardization and interoperability to provide guidelines on how to develop IM products able to talk each other. Outcomes

• The inter-cluster coordination, ANDMA and – in a second phase - the humanitarian community (especially the cluster groups) have access to a shared and collaborative virtual working space with the state of art of the humanitarian information stored in a data repository

• Humanitarian community provided with a pilot component of the Joint Information Cell

• Humanitarian community provided with a Common 3Ps (Policy, Process and Products) for Information Management

• ANDMA provided with trained staff on information management for Disaster Risk Reduction and Response

Education in Afghanistan is still in the process of recovering from decades of conflict and insecurity. The Ministry of Education (MoE) reports over 8 million of the country’s estimated 11 million children now enrolled in school, but between 18% to 25% are marked on classroom registers as ‘permanently absent’, i.e. effectively dropped out of education. These national figures mask major gender and regional disparities. In half of all rural districts there are no secondary schools for girls.

The dismal figure of 2% funding of education projects in the 2010 HAP and zero for anything other than food assistance to schools in the 2011 CAP indicates that either donors are not currently responding to this emergency, or that the Education Cluster in Afghanistan lacks the capacity to effectively present the humanitarian case for education. A third possibility is that educational needs fall through a gap between humanitarian and development funding.

But four million children denied their right to education in a country torn by ethnic, tribal and factional divisions does constitute a humanitarian emergency. It is particularly acute for girls because the majority of the children out of school are girls. The barriers of distance and insecurity affect girls more than boys, as do many of the cultural constraints and traditional attitudes towards education. Where communities are stressed by conflict, insecurity or natural disaster, education for girls is easily dropped to the bottom of communities' agendas. To seriously address this situation, for both girls and boys, the education cluster needs a greatly strengthened capacity to collect and process sex- and age disaggregated information and map needs and gaps.

Currently, the education cluster in Afghanistan is coordinated jointly by staff members from UNICEF and Save the Children. While there is an extremely good collaborative working partnership between the people involved, they have other responsibilities, reflecting the nature of educational needs in a conflict / post conflict country like Afghanistan as traversing the line (if such exists in a country like Afghanistan) between humanitarian and development issues. Also, the Save the Children person is about to reduce to half time in Afghanistan from November 2011, creating an additional staffing shortage in the cluster.

The MoE publicly acknowledges that half the country’s provinces are not under full government control. Part of the country lies on a geological fault line that causes earthquakes and (since this part of the country is mountainous) consequent landslides that can bury whole villages. Extreme winter weather is a regularly

Page 47 of 432. recurring natural disaster; Spring snow melt regularly produces flooding on a major scale. In those years when the winter is relatively mild, the consequence is drought due to inadequate replenishment of water levels . Afghanistan is a country of permanent emergency, on both the national and local levels.

Coordinating education provision for its estimated four million out of school children is a full time task, and needs to be seen as such if a serious impact is to be made. When 4,000 children lose their schooling through natural disaster it constitutes a humanitarian emergency. But if that is so, then the four million children who have never had a chance to go to school must also constitute a humanitarian emergency. The education cluster needs to have the capacity to identify many more of those children than it is currently able to. Ultimately there will be a need for cluster capacity in each province, or at least in each zonal / regional grouping of provinces. But a first step, needed urgently, is to create capacity in the national level education cluster to roll out the cluster approach nationwide and address effectively the international humanitarian community's demand for quality, accurate, comprehensive up to date sex- and age -disaggregated information on which to base response plans. Activities

- Recruitment of one international Education Cluster Coordinator, supported by one national Information / Knowledge Manager - Roll-out of the education cluster nationwide - Continuous updating of 3Ws tool - Effective nationwide mapping of needs and gaps, including geographic, ethnic, gender. age and ability/disability-related gaps in service provision - Establishment of cluster working groups on specific issues (including child-friendly spaces in emergency response, DRR, gender issues in emergency response planning, gender -sensitive responses to psychosocial needs and training of non-education actors in education responses to sudden onset disasters) - Coordination with child protection sub-cluster, WASH, Health and Nutrition clusters and Early Recovery Network - Training of local NGOs in gap identification, needs assessment and project preparation. Outcomes

- Education cluster functioning effectively at national level with effective roll-out to all regions underway. - Better strategic planning of humanitarian response in the education sector. - Improved capacity of the education cluster to respond effectively to both ongoing and sudden onset disasters and their impact on the education needs of girls and boys, and women and men. - Gaps in education provision for marginalized groups identified and responses planned effectively including due regard to the distinct needs of girls and boys, as well as both male and female adult learners, and with greater inclusion of national NGOs and attention to priority cross -cutting issues in many more locations than is currently the case. - Improved planning of educational responses to emergencies at local level, so that they address more effectively and inclusively the needs of all sections of the affected populations - both boys and girls, women and men, children of marginalized ethnic or occupational groups, those with varying abilities or disabilities or difficult family situations, and all other identified marginalized groups. - Wider implementation of DRR and emergency preparedness in vulnerable communities, with due attention to increased inclusion of marginalized communities and population groups. - More effective presentation of the case for education as a humanitarian issue in future humanitarian appeals. - Groundwork established for education cluster to function effectively nationwide in subsequent years.

IOM Afghanistan is the deputy coordinator of the Inter Agency Emergency Shelter and NFIs (ES&NFIs) cluster and leads the country's interagency IDP Task Force on Natural Disaster (ND) induced IDPs (with UNHCR leading the same Task Force's branch for Conflict Induced IDPs). The present proposal aims to request funding for the deputy coordination role that IOM has within the ES&NFIs cluster and the leading role of natural disaster response in Afghanistan.

Within the national inter agency coordination framework, it is the responsibility of IOM to work in coordination with other agencies through the ES&NFIs and Protection clusters, the National IDP Task Force and PDMCs (Provincial Disaster Management Committees) and to provide all these forums with data on ND induced IDP and affected households. So far, IOM has continually fulfilled this role, and in order to keep fulfilling this role both at national and provincial levels there is a need to station some staff in non accessible areas and to enhance data management system. The proposed information management system will be both online and offline to allow for a connection hostile environments.

To ensure coordination within the ES&NFIs cluster and the Humanitarian Country Team, IOM proposes to strengthen its database and to establish a data management team dedicated to work with data management of natural disasters.This team will make sure that the available resources and information in the country with OCHA, IMMAP and other partners are well absorbed and utilized for better planning and implementation of emergency response activities. The IOM team, in cooperation with involved partners in this regard, will also focus on the establishment of a clear real time information system with reliable data. The IOM team will also support ANDMA through advisory cluster coordination, assessments and data management and coordination.

This dedicated cluster coordination team of four staff will be composed of of a co cluster lead officer, a database developer, and database administrator, and a mobile field cluster focal point who can move throughout the country to better coordinate and monitor info collection, assessments and reporting. This will greatly improve accuracy and reliability of information sharing, contributing to ES&NFIs cluster coordination and cluster rapid response to emergencies.

For this data management, participatory assessment techniques that incorporate age, gender and diversity considerations will be done in order to identify extremely vulnerable families/individuals among these

Page 50 of 432. populations groups, including single female headed households or single females, elderly or disabled women and men and unaccompanied girls and boys.

This proposal will ensure funding secured for these activities:

• The ongoing assessment of populations affected by recurring natural disasters;

• The establishment of a database and an info system that refine and share info on natural disaster

• The establishment of a data management team to work both in coordination and info management/sharing. Activities

• Carrying assessments within affected populations in coordination with partner agencies;

• Strengthening of IOM participation within various inter agency coordination mechanisms (IASC clusters; Humanitarian Country Team in Afghanistan) and also provincial and district government representatives (especially ANDMA);

• Monitoring actual assistance delivered to beneficiaries and evaluation of the effectiveness of the assistance provided to affected families;

• Further strengthening of rapid needs assessments for ND induced IDPs;

• Information collection and management for timely and accurate progress reporting as needed;

• Further enhancement of a database to collect and manage data on assistance needed and provided

• Participating in countrywide contingency planning for natural disasters and chronically vulnerable individuals;

• Strengthening coordination and data management with a management team and one additional field cluster focal point.

• One training/workshop one month after the beginning of funding with cluster members from provinces and Kabul offices to tailor the draft solutions to the needs of cluster members.

• Second group of training/workshops occurring in each of the regions during month three in order to roll out pilot information management and coordination solutions, as well as improved contact network and coordination meeting practices.

• Third training/workshops again at Kabul level to review and adapt the solutions rolled out during the sixth month.

• The mobile field cluster focal point will conduct rapid evaluations of the coordination gains in all provinces and conduct small refresh courses. Outcomes

Timely and reliable information continually shared in all humanitarian forums;

Consolidation of management team and management data base for natural disaster sharing and further response;

Strengthened country wide emergency coordination capacity, assessment and emergency relief;

Greatly improved information for OCHA and CAP appeals based on accurate data that will appeal to donors.

Afghanistan remains in a state of protracted crisis with underlying factors that include on -going armed conflict since 2001, regularly reoccurring natural disasters (ranging from small to medium to large scale), weak governance systems, profound gender and social inequities, scarce resources, underdeveloped livelihoods systems and infrastructure that exacerbate challenging climatic conditions and terrains, exhausted coping strategies and ill-targeted development assistance.

In 2011, the protracted and escalating conflict has continued to have unprecedented humanitarian consequences and loss of human lives. Evidence from surveys and monitoring by the Protection Cluster indicate that from January to September 2011 the extent of the conflict in Afghanistan has broadened from a regional impact (Sough, South East and Central) to more stable provinces in the North, West and the East, thus having impacted larger civilian populations. Further as a result of the conflict, according to UNHCR and DORR, an estimated 472,601 individuals are displaced as of October 2011. This includes 147,661 newly-displaced persons due to conflict in the first eight months of 2011; representing a 65 per cent increase as compared to the same period in 2010. While the human toll of the conflict continues to escalate, with 1,462 civilian deaths reported in the first six months of 2011, an increase of 15 per cent from the same period in 2010, according to UNAMA Human Rights.

Afghanistan is also highly prone and vulnerable to natural disasters from floods, epidemics, earthquakes, rock slides, sandstorms, avalanches, drought and periods of extreme low temperature. According to the ECHO Humanitarian Implementation Plan for Afghanistan in November 2010, the country undergoes an average of eight major natural disasters per year. Over the past ten years, the Afghan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) and IOM estimate another 400,000 persons are affected by other natural hazards each year. In 2011, an estimated 22,716 people have been displaced due natural disasters, according to IOM. One of the most devastating regularly occurring large scale natural disasters is drought. Since 2000, the country has experienced eight slow onset droughts, with the recent drought for 2011-2012 impacting an estimated three million in people of need of emergency assistance in the north, north east and west of the country.

Coordinated humanitarian and preparedness assistance is of critical importance, given the significant

Page 53 of 432. challenges posed in Afghanistan and the large number of actors present in country. Multiple actors are engaged in this endeavour to promote timely and complementary assistance and preparedness efforts. In partnership with all organizations, the Humanitarian Country Team, led by the Humanitarian Coordinator, through OCHA seeks to provide civil-military and inter-cluster coordination, information management, contingency planning and preparedness, fundraising, and advocacy. This is done to continue the promotion of compliance with and respect for the fundamental humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, and neutrality while building up credibility with key stakeholders to facilitate access, and enhance the quality and quantity of humanitarian action.

The clusters, as the 'operational conversation,' assess that all humanitarian partners can identify the priorities, eliminate gaps and duplications and take some measure of how we are doing to in order to ensure that the community has a meaningful impact in the lives of the people who need humanitarian intervention. As progress has been made toward strengthening of the cluster approach at the national level and in some regions, additional focus is needed to support the regional coordination mechanisms provide timely and effective humanitarian action. Activities

OCHA will continue to strengthen coordination structures, and to work to provide a more enabling environment for humanitarian action and support, including in access, civil – military dialogue, emergency preparedness, information management and the comprehensive integration of key cross -cutting issues, including gender equity, to assist humanitarian organizations to address the needs of the country ’s most vulnerable groups and individuals.

Through six sub offices, one satellite office and the country office in Kabul, OCHA Afghanistan will: • Facilitate the coordination of humanitarian action, planning and emergency preparedness to ensure appropriate, adequate and timely delivery of life saving assistance across the country with emphasis on strengthening cluster coordination in the regions and at the national level; • Promote humanitarian principles and access through advocacy efforts with different groups that impact humanitarian operations and information management services; • Develop and maintain a watch list of areas with potential crisis as well as facilitating the humanitarian analysis and support services, including civil military dialogue and information products, that can guide humanitarian action to the wider humanitarian and international community in Afghanistan; • Mobilise resources for humanitarian action in Afghanistan; and • Facilitate humanitarian planning including a coherent response strategy for all crisis affected regions with linkages to larger recovery and development efforts, and the development of humanitarian policies. • Strengthen information management systems and information sharing including attention to the collection and analysis of sex- and age-disaggregated data as the foundation stone to gender analyses, an area that requires specific focus. Outcomes

• An evidence-based, humanitarian-focused and better coordinated response. • Increased advocacy for gender equity within the humanitarian response as well as need for acutely vulnerable. • Improved information management, including a focus on the routine collection and analysis of sex- and age-disaggregated data from all sectors. • Strengthened cluster coordination at the national and regional levels with direct linkages to government coordination with recovery and development partners. • Emergency preparedness is improved at the national and provincial levels with systems strengthened, contingency plans established and resources mobilised. • Comprehensive and appropriate information and analysis to inform humanitarian action and advocacy is provided through reports, briefs, mapping products. • Financial resources are mobilised to meet humanitarian needs. • Plans and policies are developed to ensure coherent, principled and comprehensive humanitarian action. • Improved dialogue with government, military bodies and other stakeholders to improve humanitarian access and reduce other impediments to humanitarian action

Enhanced Eastern - Nangarhar Geographical Fields Needs

As per UNHCR data, 951 families have returned to Nanagrahar in 2011 (Jan-Sep 2011) alone. Since 2002, more than 5.75 million refugees have returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan and Iran. Refugee return has increased the estimated population by over 20% and placed a huge strain on already-vulnerable receiving communities; increasing hardship and producing tensions in high return areas. This is partly due to a decrease in services for refugees and increasing forced returns from Pakistan and Iran, where most refugees are situated.

The Pakistani Government is increasing pressure on Afghan refugees (especially in Chakdara camp) to leave the country. It is expected that nearly 10,000 families will arrive from Pakistan – such a massive influx of refugee-returnees to the eastern region in Afghanistan will likely cause huge additional needs for shelter, sanitation and livelihoods. As per previous experience, the vast majority of returnees and IDPs have very little to no job opportunities in their place of return and, as a result, increased food insecurity is assured.

Livelihood security is essential if returnees are to be effectively reintegrated and rebuild their lives on par with local communities. Similarly, the lack of livelihoods opportunities is the main reason for further multiple displacements of populations, as a majority of returnees prefer to migrate to Kabul in search of jobs.

Traditionally, women in Nangarhar Province contribute to household income generation through poultry farming, kitchen gardening, tailoring, carpet-weaving and caring of livestock. Cultural norms limit women from participating outside the house and restrict women’s ownership of land and livestock. Inequality of ownership and lack of access to resources leave female-headed households especially vulnerable to cyclical improvement.

Through this project, NRC will focus on improving the livelihood opportunities for young women and men from returnee/ IDP families by providing them job-oriented skills through trainings in Nangarhar province. The project will give focus on vulnerable women groups towards the achievement of sustainable livelihoods. This will be done by providing basic literacy, numeracy, life-skills and vocational skills Education to the young returnees and IDPs. Activities

1. Orientation training for NRC field staff including female staff in order to ensure a gender -balanced team as well as to improve NRC’s access to female beneficiaries; 2. Coordination with all stakeholders in the region at the community and provincial government levels; as per past interventions, NRC will ensure that it coordinates with women’s shuras as well to ensure participation and involvement of women in the decision-making processes

Page 56 of 432. 3. Market survey; 4. Selection of trainees in consultation with stake holders; women’s shuras will be targetted separately by NRC female staff to ensure greater participation of female beneficiairies in the project; 5. Identification of trainers for providing trainings; in addition, as per previous projects, NRC will ensure that female staff provide separate training to female beneficiaries so as to encourage participation of women in the training and in the project; The project will target vulnerable youth (15-25 years old) from returnee and IDP families; 6. The Project shall provide child-care support to encourage young mothers to participate in the project and encourage the families to send thier school-aged children into schools; 7.

For many returnees, they have been away from Afghanistan and their communities for many years and the lands and livelihoods which they previously had in the community are no longer there. The resulting lack of access to livelihoods is further exacerbated by the fact that the refugee -returnees are reintegrating into a society where 35% of the population is unemployed and where 79% of GDP comes from agricultural production . Both the returnees and local community youth struggle to find livelihoods opportunities while access to non-formal and formal education has been interrupted by displacement, remote settings (where there are no teachers) and financial barriers

NRC has been implementing YEP in Nangarhar in four returnee settlements around Jalalabad city: Tangi (Kuskunar), Chamtla (Koygahni), Sheik Mesry (Surkrut) and Kabul Camp (Rodat), since 2010 based on the standard YEP model described above, with funding from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The project is so far successful with three out of four centres generating income and community participation ranging from fair to excellent.

In 2008, NRC piloted a vocational skills training programme targeting vulnerable women in Herat city. Since then, 849 trainees from 5 districts have received a four-month vocational skills training. According to recent evaluation data, 74% of the beneficiaries have started a small business and are now self -reliant. The vocational skills training in Herat province is a community-based activity, in which the community participate by providing training centres as well as trainers. Beneficiaries are selected based on criteria strongly related to the selection process and come from the villages with the highest IDP and refugee -returnee rates. Skills trainers are identified from within the village that the learners are from, and are selected based on being the most qualified person in a certain skill in that community. These skills trainers provide training at their home or their workshop as opposed to in a centralised training centre, for which NRC does not pay rent. The training sessions have been well received in the communities with a request from learners for further training in order to become more advanced in their vocation. Through the proposed project, NRC aims to build upon current activities by integrating YEP components into the community-based training approach. The project will aim at improving the livelihoods opportunities of returnee and IDP youth, both men and women, by assessing the specific needs of both male and female beneficiaries, using gender-balanced teams as well provide trainings by male and female NRC staff to ensure that both men and women equally benefit from the project. This will be done by providing basic literacy, numeracy, life-skills and vocational skills Education to the young returnees and IDPs. Activities

• Identify and set-up YEP centres • Establish local committees such as CAB (Community Advisory Board) and BSC (Beneficiary Selection Committee); NRC will coordinate with all stakeholders in the region at the community to establish the CAB and BSC; as per past interventions, NRC will ensure that it coordinates with women’s shuras as well to ensure

Enhanced Eastern - Nangarhar Geographical Fields Needs

Almost four decades of conflict in the country has left many Afghans displaced or seeking refuge in other countries especially Pakistan and Iran. Drought, war and poverty have forced people to migrate into urban areas, often becoming landless in the process. They have been joined by the millions of refugees returning to Afghanistan. According to UNHCR reports more than 5 million refugees have returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan and Iran since 2002. A majority of these are landless or have returned to find that their land had been taken in their absence. “The UN and ICRC have recorded that 730,000 people have been internally displaced in Afghanistan due to conflict since 2006, an average of 400 a day. At the end of January 2011, 309,000 people remained internally displaced due to armed conflict, human rights abuses and other generalised violence. This figure was higher than at any time since 2005.” (Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre – IDMC)

The map developed by iMMAP and UNHCR depicts that Nangarhar is the second highly populated area for IDPs and returned refugees from Pakistan with the total population reaches to 33,455 to 69,834. There are 18 IDP and returned refugee communities mostly settled around Jalalabad City, with some of the popular areas are Tangi Khushk, Baba Camp, Wolus Dara, Dasht-e-Chamtala and Shewa.

Women and girls in Afghanistan face many problems such as violence, poverty with no access to education, health and other basic necessities of life. Based on the reports by UNIFEM (now UN Women), one in every three Afghan women experience physical, psychological or sexual violence and 70 to 80% percent of women face forced marriages in Afghanistan. The UNIFEM’s 2010 Fact Sheet shows that “only 12% of females, 15 years and older, can read and write, compared to 39% of males. The estimated overall literacy rate for women ages between 15-24 stands at 24%, compared to 53% for men.” Being an IDP or returned refugee adds more to the difficulties of life of women and girls, especially living in a camp or suburb areas.

Empowering IDP and returned refugee women and girls with basic education is very important and this will enable them to work for positive change of the difficult situation they are going through. Furthermore, many of the male family members have been killed in the conflict or have returned to Iran and Pakistan in search of

Page 60 of 432. work, this situation has left the women to be main caretaker of the family. Educated women can raise healthier children who will be adults of tomorrow. In addition to this, education will assist the reintegration of IDPs and returned refugees back to society by learning new skills and finding jobs. Activities

1- Establishing home-based literacy classes: 50 home-based literacy classes will be established for women and girls in IDP and returned refugee communities and settlements. There will be 20 women and girls in each class with a total of 1,000 benefiting from the classes directly. (20 women and girls x 50 classes = 1,000 women and girls)

2- Teaching literacy and numeracy for the women and girls who will be students of 50 home-based literacy classes for women and girls in IDP and returned refugee communities and settlements; following the curriculum developed by Deputy Ministry of Literacy.

3- Teacher’s training: 50 female literacy teachers who will be teaching one home-based literacy class each, will be trained on new teaching methodology, basic health education and GBV (gender-based violence)/VAWG (violence against women and girls) issues. The trainings will be as following: (new teaching methodology: 2 days; basic health education: 3 days; GBV/VAWG issues: 2 days). These trainings will enable the literacy teachers to teach the classes in new methods and assist the students of the home -based literacy classes on their routine life.

4- Teaching basic health care: Hesperian Health Guides has published a very comprehensive book for local communities called “Where Women Have No Doctor”. The contents of the book such as situation of displaced women, domestic and sexual violence against women and girls, reproductive and psychological health, are very related to the life condition of IDP and returned refugee women and girls in Nangarhar. HAWCA has translated this book into local language under the license from Hesperian Health Guides and have broadly used it in the local communities in the most remote areas of Afghanistan. As the book proved to be useful and practical, HAWCA will use this book to be used in the home-based literacy classes for women.

5- Teaching GBV/VAWG issues to women and girls who are students of home-based literacy classes, using the manual developed by UNFPA.

6- Peer to peer education: women and girls, students of the home-based literacy classes, will share their gained knowledge on basic health education and GBV/VAWG issues with other women and girls in IDP and returned refugee communities and settlements.

7- Advocacy and mediation: HAWCA will advocate with relevant government entities and will participate in all related education coordination meetings at provincial level to provide more educational facilities for women and girls in IDP and returned refugee communities, settlements and host communities. Furthermore, mediation meetings will be held amongst the elders of both communities to resolve any dispute. Outcomes

1- Women and girls from IDP and returned refugee communities and settlements in Nangarhar learned literacy and numeracy to be active members of the society.

2- Women and girls from IDP and returned refugee communities and settlements got aware of basic health care and GBV/VAWG issues.

3- Female teachers use new methods of teaching and integrate basic health care and GBV /VAWG issues in their teaching sessions.

4- The Directorate of Education and other relevant government and non -governmental offices in Jalalabad provide education facilities for women and girls in the IDP and returned refugee communities and settlements.

Enhanced Eastern - Nangarhar Geographical Fields Needs

Nangarhar province is currently affected by several types of emergency requiring humanitarian intervention for affected communities: - Increasing population of returnees from Pakistan - Military operations of Pakistan Army close to the border (including shelling and also warnings to refugees to leave the area) - Insecurity due to tribal disputes over land - Fear of recurrence of a previous (2009) earthquake - Flooding of Kunar River resulting from recent unusually heavy rains.

The specific needs to be addressed by the proposed project, based on assessments carried out by staff from Save the Children’s Jalalabad office, are for community-based education services to make education accessible to both girls and boys in the communities described below:

2,400 returnee families from Pakistan moved to Watch Tangi in Behsud district. They are originally from Kunar province but are prevented from returning there because of insecurity due to shelling from Pakistan military operations and warnings from the Pakistan military to Afghan refugees to leave, coupled with ongoing tribal disputes over land in their home areas. Approx 1,800 families displaced from parts of Shirzad district, resulting from an earthquakemin 2009 and continuing fears of recurrence. They moved to the Chamtalla returnee land allocation scheme (LAS). 2,000 returnee families (majority originally from parts of Hesarak, Shirzad and Khogiani districts) now living in a transition camp for returnees in Lower Sheikh Mesri (Surkhrud district). Two hundred families from Goshta district displaced by shelling along the border have moved closer to Kama district, which is more secure. 750 families in Durbaba and another 200 in Momandara districts have moved back into Afghanistan from Pakistan after warnings from the Pakistan Army and in fear of military operations in the areas they have left. Finally, 150 families in Farme Hadda of Behsud district have been displaced by floods from Kunar river due to unusually heavy rains and are now living in Kama district.

The children of these IDP families have the same need for education – and the same right to it – as all other children. UNICEF currently runs 185 community-based education (CBE) classes in some of the IDP communities, but substantial gaps in provision remain. Distance to existing education services presents a particular difficulty for girls, whose ability to travel safely and in accordance with local gender -differentiated customs is much less than boys. For this reason, slightly more classes are needed for girls than for boys.

Page 63 of 432. The details below indicate the number of community-based education (CBE) classes needed in each disaster-affected location, as identified by Save the Children and the Provincial Education Dept (PED). Each class is for approx 30 students.

The Nangarhar Provincial Education Dept (PED) has requested Save the Children (SC) to provide community-based education services for the IDP communities shown in the table of Needs. SC has worked in Nangarhar province since 2000, and began to implement education projects there in 2005.

We currently work in five districts, have effective working relationships with the Provincial Education Department (PED) and five District Education Departments and have a field office in Jalalabad city. Technical support to ensure quality standards (based on INEE MSEE) is available from the Education team in SC’s Country Office in Kabul.

SC currently has 160 CBE classes in Nangarhar. Of these, 46 are taught by female teachers and are exclusively for girls. In the other 114 classes, which are taught by male teachers, 24% of the students are girls. Overall, 46% of the students in these classes are girls and 54% are boys.

The specific activities to be undertaken for this project are as follows: • Sign MoU with Provincial Education Department. • Staff recruitment, orientation and training. • Identify and recruit Master Trainers (likely to be predominantly male, but with due attention to seeking female candidates where they may be available). • Community mobilization in 15 IDP communities, emphasizing the importance of education for all children, both girls and boys and including children from marginalized groups such as those with physical / mobility challenges, mild hearing or vision impairment, orphans and children of very poor families and female -headed households, but for practical reasons not including those with special education needs that cannot be catered for within the setting of community-based classes. • Establish community education committees to identify and enroll children, monitor the classes and solve or report problems. Give training in children’s rights / UN-CRC, child-centered education and monitoring. • Identify, recruit and train teachers (as far as possible and where local cultural norms require it, we will recruit female teachers for girls’ classes and male teachers for boys’ classes). Training topics will include teaching methodology and children’s rights, and will be based on the INEE minimum standards for education in emergencies, transition and early recovery (MSEE), using the recently produced contextualized MSEE for Afghanistan. • Identify children of appropriate age, making a serious effort to include both girls and boys (in approximately equal numbers but normally in separate classes, in accordance with local cultural requirements) and including

Page 64 of 432. children from other marginalized groups as indicated above. • Train teachers in child centered teaching methodology, children’s rights and classroom management. • Procure textbooks, essential stationery, student kits, hygiene kits, teacher and classroom kits. • Identify suitable venues ensuring compliance with INEE minimum standards. Where necessary, provide WASH facilities for the classes, ensuring these meet the needs of both girls and boys. • Establish, monitor and supervise 280 classes for 30 children per class, total 8,400 children. • Liaise with local education authorities, local schools and school shuras to integrate the CBE classes with the formal education system so that students may eventually either transition into formal schools or, where these are too far away, become integrated as outreach classes in the Ministry of Education ’s ‘hub-and-outreach’ system for community-based classes.

The details of proposed locations of the CBE classes, and the distribution between girls and boys, are given at the end of the previous section on Needs. Outcomes

• 8,400 children, both girls and boys, gain basic literacy and numeracy skills, enabling them either to transition at a later stage into the mainstream national education system and continue their basic education, thereby addressing the early recovery component of this emergency response, or as a minimum acquire basic literacy and numeracy. • These children will also regain a sense of structure and normality in their lives, thereby improving their chances of normal psychosocial development and reducing the psychosocial impact of displacement. • 280 teachers from 15 IDP communities trained and motivated, receiving an income and regaining a sense of purpose. • Women who are qualified to teach empowered to use their skills. Women teachers will be recruited for girls' classes where this is possible (i.e. where educated women are available, it is safe for them to work as teachers and the community accept this). Women teachers may also be recruited for boys' classes on an equal basis with men where the mentioned conditions apply (availability, safety, community acceptability). • Parents in the IDP communities motivated to seek future education opportunities for their children, including understanding the right to education of all children, both girls and boys, and the concept of inclusive child-friendly education. • Increased access to education for girl children as well as boys. • Local school managers and school shuras motivated to seek solutions for the education needs of the IDP communities in their areas and understanding their responsibilities in this regard and knowing the resources available to support them in fulfilling the right of all children to education. • 8,400 children’s right to education fulfilled – and international humanitarian community ’s obligation to these children thereby also fulfilled.

Many Afghans lack access to basic services, particularly in rural areas. Improving education and health systems throughout Afghanistan is a necessity for people to live in peace and prosperity. In 2011, insecurity, low levels of capacity and high levels of corruption continued to impede development efforts, thus requiring sustained emergency assistance in the country. A successful transition to peace and democracy is contingent on adequate attention being paid to education. The literacy rate in Afghanistan is 43% for men and 12.6% for women. IOM, with the help of humanitarian funding can contribute to the Government of Afghanistan ’s nation building efforts by addressing the critical education needs of Afghan citizens.

In order to support the overall strengthening of the educational requirements of the country, and to increase the quality and number of teachers, safe and secure schools are needed. The Afghan government requires strong support to address critical education needs of its population. But as the government re establishes itself and slowly strengthens social services, it finds itself facing a multitude of technical, managerial and operational problems.

Since 2002 IOM has developed and implemented projects of education facilities, which have resulted in the re construction and refurbishment a total of 423 schools.

IOM with its Emergency Development Infrastructure Department (EDID) is even at present implementing education facilities construction and re construction projects with funding from various donors.

Torn in a war environment, Afghanistan currently faces a large challenge in access to education: educational facilities are daily destroyed, and with this, the access of students to basic education and the teacher ’s motivation to profess. According to recent statistics about half of school aged children in Afghanistan are

Page 67 of 432. estimated to be out of school with significant gender and provincial disparities. Only 34% percent of teachers are female, thereby limiting girls’ access to education. This situation is compounded by continuing insecurity and various disasters such as floods, earthquakes, drought, and severe winters. Girls, displaced populations/returnees, children living with disabilities, children from nomadic families and economically disadvantaged backgrounds are particularly vulnerable groups with disadvantaged access to education . Continued conflict in the South, which spread to the East, North and West provinces of Afghanistan in 2010-2011, affects access to school on a regular basis. Attacks and threats on schools, students and teachers are causing a decrease of attendance, especially for girls. The use of schools as polling centers during the 2009 and 2010 elections exacerbated the trend of attacks and threats on schools. Page 1 of 3

According to the Ministry of Education (MoE), one of the priorities for the 2012 school year is a selected 73 schools affected either by conflict or natural disasters. Most of these schools still suffer from damage to their physical infrastructure or lack of safe boundary wall to ensure protection of the students from direct terrorist or anti Governmental elements’ attacks directed (or indirectly targeted) against these facilities, thus forcing many schoolchildren to study in extremely harsh conditions in the open air, in tents or without functioning sanitary facilities. Without emergency repairs and/or re construction, it will be very difficult for the children to continue studying. The MoE has therefore requested that IOM manage urgently needed repair works for conflict and disaster affected schools, recognizing their well established expertise in construction management. All activities and methodologies proposed in this project summary have been consulted with and supported by the MoE. Activities

Obtaining reliable data remains a challenge for the sector. Therefore the sector is still referring to the limited information available and shared by the MoE. No country wide numbers on people affected by natural disasters are available at national levels, and thus, the number of children whose access is affected cannot be estimated. There is an urgent necessity to conduct field assessments in order to analyze and quantify evidenced based educational needs of vulnerable populations in emergency areas. A1: To identify up to 73 conflict/disaster affected schools in provinces of Afghanistan in consultation with the MoE and its provincial counterparts. At the time of this submission, the detailed information about the extent of damage and exact locations of 73 schools in bad need of reconstruction was not made available by the MoE. Target schools will therefore be identified based on the feasibility analysis at a later stage. IOM has the capacity and expertise to work successfully for any such type of humanitarian assistance project in any part of Afghanistan.

During and after the 2009 & 2010 elections in Afghanistan there were reported attacks on schools, which are suspected to be a consequence of schools being used as polling stations during the elections. Such election related incidents included improvised explosive devices in/near schools used as polling centers (PCs), attacks on security forces guarding PCs, rocket attacks and ground attacks. The increased number of terrorist attacks (either Taliban or Ant-Governmental Elements) have also destroyed a large number of schools in the past year all over the country. Nearly 6% of schools have been burned or closed down due to terrorism in the last years. Presently only 25% Afghan schools have usable buildings. Thousands of communities have no easy access to schools. Most schools also lack essential facilities such as access to clean drinking water and toilets. A2: To conduct technical assessments of identified schools and determine priority needs for repairs;

A3: To identify suitable partners to undertake the repair works and manage contracts and to coordinate with the MoE engineers for the best implementation of re construction activities;

A4: To ensure successful completion of nominated schools repairs within the 2011 construction season and provide MoE with sustainable educational facilities for the basic education in areas affected by conflict or natural disaster.

Gender gaps: The gap between boys and girls in enrolment, attendance and retention remains remarkable at all levels, with no exception across geographical locations. Girls’ enrolment at the primary level has increased dramatically since 2002. However, parents are reluctant to send their girls to schools if schools are not located close to their homes, not safely protected against outside destructive hostility or if not constructed such as to clearly provide facilities for girls separate from boys.

Enhanced Southern - Uruzgan Geographical Fields Needs

In July-September 2011, ACTD conducted public opinion research in Urozgan province to find the basic minimum needs of the people. The research was carried out under RAMP-UP South program of Chemonics International. The result of the survey showed the vast majority of participants (85%) claimed that education and vocational opportunities are not available to them, which consequently lead to engagement of the people in nonconstructive attitudes and ineffective life. Among others, it was found that illiteracy, especially of women and young girls, is one of the many initiating and promoting factors of continued conflict, unhealthy family attitudes, increased vulnerabilities, and gender inequality. During the Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with older women and younger girls two terms were used frequently “allow” and “can” which indicate the ability and willingness of women and girls. See below quote “Yes, we can go there if there is such a training center”. Women and girls FGD Although illiteracy is a common and persistent problem of almost all provinces of Afghanistan, Uruzgan (and other southern provinces) faces continuous, and worsening literacy problems among the older girls and women. This is mostly attributable to the worsening conflict, insecurity and highly conservative social setup. Due to the ongoing conflict, worsening insecurity and personal safety for women, men are reluctant to allow adolescent girls to formal education programs. This was evident from several FGD interviews regarding the stance of men on allowing their female family members to women-only markets and public spaces. The male illiteracy is partly dealt with by other developmental projects, which unfortunately ignores female society members. In general, women (and most men) were keen to participate in accelerated learning and vocational skills trainings. Improved literacy in females (who are the caretakers of household chores and children) will lead to establishment of knowledge and skill base, consequently resulting in increased awareness on their basic human rights, the health and education needs of their children, and will be able to assist their male family members in family income and decision making. Food incentive encourages illiterate women to attend the literacy /Health Education Courses. The people of the area are poor and have low income. Therefore, food assistance encourages the illiterate women to attend the literacy/health education training courses. Thus, the women will be provided wheat, vegetable oil, pulses, hygienic kits and iodized salt with the aim to encourage them and to prevent moderately malnutrition among women and children under five. The MoE department will contribute with literacy books, technical support and supervision/monitoring. Activities

Research conducted by CARE with 30 INGO Country Directors, think tanks and UN officers in 2011 highlights the fact that Humanitarian Access in conflict-affected areas needs to be expanded on a piecemeal approach, building trust among the various power brokers such as local shuras, elders and other local political actors . Community acceptance is the best strategy to reach to new areas and offer assistance to vulnerable populations. CARE and the consortium partner Afghanaid has been approached by communities in conflict-affected areas of Ghazni , Ghor and Badakshan where NGOs with educational projects currently cannot reach due to security concerns. Local communities highlighted their poor or discontinued basic education services were due partially to a lack of resources to support their schools, including identification and recruitment of female teachers; providing psychosocial support to conflict affected populations in general for SMC members, teachers and particular for students; school facility needs – such as buildings in disrepair and lack of potable water and latrines; equipment needs – such as black boards, writing slates , furniture and teaching aids; and education/learning/recreational materials – such as text books, teacher resource materials, reading books, sports items, stationery for teachers, boys and girls.

Analysis by the Afghan NGO Safety Office and policy discussions at the Afghanistan Humanitarian Forum suggest that projects approved or requested by the communities are less likely to be targeted by Armed Opposition Groups in insecure areas. It is therefore of utmost importance that NGOs build capacity to pre-position educational material to be able to respond when communities /School Management Committees (with composition of female and male representatives) get together and request our help in areas with complex security situations. Not being able to respond to modest requests by community leaders may hinder the ability of aid agencies to build a sustainable relationship of trust with the local shuras and community based organizations.

CARE's research and the findings of the NGO Humanitarian Access Workshop held at ACBAR on October 2011, highlighted that local communities are often frustrated when INGOs have offices in their districts, but no project in the neighborhood. In the words of a NGO Country Director operating in the northeast "We go out to the communities, raise expectations and then we can't deliver" due to lack of funding or poor strategic planning. This project aims to address this concern by building acceptance through basic humanitarian services offered to currently inaccessible areas as a stepping -stone to expand humanitarian access to communities with emergency education needs in conflict affected areas of Ghazni, Ghor and Badakshan.

This project aims to offer short-term assistance to enable boys and girls to attend school in complex security environments by developing genuine partnerships with local community based organizations, local shuras and national non-governmental organizations. Under a people-centered paradigm, with a strong gender lens, humanitarian access is defined as the ability of the population to benefit from the protections and services provided by aid agencies. Therefore, CARE and Afghanaid will make use of innovative access strategies such as capacity building of local partners to extend our ability to offer aid in conflict areas. CARE's local partners and Actionaid will refer to the INEE (Inter-Agency for Education in Emergencies) Minimum Standards for Education (contextualized for Afghanistan) in providing the following assistance toward the re -initiation or expansion of basic education services:

1- light renovation of school buildings to ensure a safe facility that provides an adequate learning environment; 2- ensure access to basic - water and sanitation, with special focus on the hygiene needs and access to sanitation of female students. 3 – provision of text books and basic recreational and furnishing items, teaching materials and stationery materials for teachers and students. 4. Also in-line with INEE standards, they will provide capacity building of community based organizations including School Management Committees to provide ongoing support to their school, teachers and students in support of education for their children. 5. Development of innovative strategies, tools and methodologies for Humanitarian needs assessment, Monitoring and Evaluation in complex security environments where humanitarian agencies have limited or no access at the moment. Outcomes

The expected outcomes are the following:

1- Enhanced, sustainable humanitarian access to communities affected by violence related to conflict through the relationship of trust created by the activities proposed. 2- Improved acceptance and general public perception among key power brokers and stakeholders of humanitarian aid agencies in the area and better understanding of the role and mandates of aid agencies by various powerbrokers operating in the area, including government, local shuras, community and Religious leaders, elders, women's groups and other influential political and military actors. 3 Fifty eight schools have re-initiated or expanded education services to boys and girls living in insecure communities. 4. Improved Hygiene and Sanitation services for boys and girls attending schools in the targeted districts. 5. Improved learning environment for girls schools as an incentive to higher female participation on the educational system in conflict affected areas. 6. Preparedness through prepositioning of infrastructural and educational material in preparation for rapid response to other communities.

The persistence of conflict has consistently undermined efforts to provide a protective and secure environment, considering that almost 50% of Afghanistan is currently deemed to be insecure. School children have borne the brunt of the conflict from injury, displacement, and destruction of schools which has disrupted access to education, healthcare and other essential services. Teachers and other education personnel have also been a target for anti government elements.

There is a need to implement a comprehensive package for children, especially girls, in conflict areas with strategies to include the excluded children from the formal mainstream education in line with the guidance on the minimum standards for education in emergency. The project will encourage community mobilisation to protect children, teachers, and other educational personnel from school incidents, and ensure safe learning, water, sanitation and hand washing facilities and effective hygiene education, and menstrual hygiene for girls . The project will mobilise for the rehabilitation and construction of boundary walls in unsafe schools in order to protect and to promote girls’ access. In particular, the project will step up efforts in the 17 most insecure Provinces in the Southern and Central Afghanistan, which are affected by the conflict situation, as well as the natural disasters resulting in displacement.

The project will be implemented by the Ministry of Education in collaboration with the UNICEF five Zonal Offices and the Provincial Education Directorates in the 17 priority insecure provinces targeting 580,000 children (37 per cent female) and 4,280 teachers. The project will address exclusion of children due to conflict and emergency by adopting an equity approach to implement the project. Activities

•Needs assessment of the schools in the insecure and conflict affected provinces conducted and opportunities availed to carry out some gender analysis to capture sex and age disaggregated data. •Provision of tents as temporary learning facilities for displaced children due to conflict and insurgency. •Rehabilitation of destroyed or damaged schools, and construction of boundary walls in insecure areas as a security measure to protect and facilitate girls’ retention since boundary walls play an important role in keeping girls in school. •Provision of sanitation and hygiene facilities (i.e. separate toilets for girls and boys, etc. including menstrual hygiene for girls), and playgrounds. •Training for school principals, teachers, school management committees on community mobilization to

Page 77 of 432. promote integration and support for children affected by conflict and displacement. •Training for teachers on psycho social care as a way of identifying and supporting children affected by conflict and displacement (using standardized and contextualised training modules). •Provision of psycho social kits (sports and recreation materials) to schools. •Provision of teaching and learning materials (TLMs) to children affected by emergency and conflict. •Technical, managerial and logistical support to deliver emergency education support to the children. Outcomes

The following are some of the anticipated outcomes of this project: •Safe learning spaces provided for displaced children with more children attending school on a regular basis and transition to the next grades. •Gender sensitive data captured with sex and age disaggregated data for the target schools, with both boys and girls benefitting equally from the interventions. •Hygienic sanitation facilities provided with separate toilets for girls and boys with playgrounds. • Teachers, school principals, and school management committees oriented on community mobilization strategies to promote integration and support for children affected by conflict and displacement. • Teachers empowered to identify children with psycho social needs for effective care or referral. •The contextualized minimum standards package delivered and teachers and community members are more knowledgeable with skills to facilitate reintegration of IDP and returnee children in school. •Teaching and learning materials (TLMs) provided to the affected children and ensured that schooling continued, with tents for IDP and displaced children as temporary learning facilities. •Teachers and community members inducted and support reintegration of IDP and returnee children in school.

Winter season has harsh implications for the most vulnerable school age going populations in Afghanistan . Each year schools in most regions suffer the effects of flooding, coupled with the destruction of homes and livelihoods. Despite extensive relief efforts, there is a greater and visible risk this year due to the drought that hit the northern and northwestern parts of the country. The effects of floods during the winter in the affected areas is likely to be critical, and the harsh winter will make the situation worse. Access during the winter varies from region to region and area to area. However, what is common to all is that the basic non food items (NFIs) such as tents heaters and winter clothes that are critical for child friendly schooling are unaffordable to most vulnerable returnee and IDPs families to meet their immediate needs during winter.

Procurement, dispatching, pre positioning, transporting and distribution of the teaching learning materials as well as storage at regional level, will be planned and carried out by UNICEF in collaboration with the Ministry of Education's Provincial Education Directorates (PEDs). Currently the provincial level storage is within the Provincial Education Directorates warehouses owned by the Ministry of Education. There are about 1,450 schools in 17 provinces operating during the winter. Most of these schools are not adequately designed to cope with the harsh winter, as the school buildings lack basic facilities and materials such as floor mats, classroom doors, and heaters. This makes learning extremely challenging owing to these adverse conditions. There is a need for basic items to be procured based on the conditions and number of shifts etc. for each school.

The regular schools affected by flooding and other adverse climatic conditions will be identified through collaboration between the Ministry of Education’s PEDs and the UNICEF Zonal Offices in Mazaar, Herat, Jalalabad, Kabul and Kandahar who will distribute winterization NFI assistance packages to nearly 450,000 Afghan school children and their teachers throughout the country. Monitoring of the activities will be led by the PEDs together with the I-NGO and UN Implementing partners on the ground, and community leaders and shuras at the grassroots. Activities

The Eastern region suffered severe flooding during July/August 2010, with approx. 3,000 families being affected. During August/September 2011 approx. 1,900 additional families were affected by floods in Nangarhar and Laghman provinces. Additionally, there are nearly 13,981 conflict IDP families still living in impoverished conditions in the region. The Eastern region is a highly disaster prone region and is affected by droughts, seasonal flooding, earthquakes and conflict. Further, due to military operations conducted in Pakistan, nearly 600 Afghan families have been displaced along the Afghan Pakistan border since the start of the shelling campaign in February 2011, information as provided by UNHCR.

In 2011 alone, civilian casualties amounted to 250 cases; the figure is considered much higher than in 2010, though official numbers are not readily available. Natural and man made disasters have devastating impact on vulnerable communities as they kill and injure people and destroy shelters and infrastructure, leading to internal displacement, loss of livelihoods and increased health risks, in particular for children under five and lactating mothers. Women are particularly affected during disasters as their protection and assistance needs are greatly increased.

On 18th September 2011, the CAP Humanitarian Regional workshop held in Jalalabad, indentified and prioritized the need to provide humanitarian assistance to victims of conflict and natural disaster. The most likely scenarios in 2012 as discussed during the meeting are as below: • IDPs due to natural disaster – 800 to 1500 families • IDPs due to conflict – 27,000 families • Afghans compelled to return from Pakistan 10,000 families

The NRC ES & NFI project coordinates it’s activities with the provincial Afghan National Disaster Management Authorities (ANDMA), the emergency shelter and NFI cluster and other relief providers. The NRC project plans to address emergency shelter and NFI needs in 10 districts in Nangarhar and two districts in Laghman provinces. Of the total affected population, the project aims to assist only 3,000 affected families through timely and effective stockpiling and distribution of emergency shelter and NFI kits in Nangarhar and Laghman provinces. Activities

• Orientation training for NRC field staff including female staff in order to ensure a gender balanced team as well as to improve NRC’s access to female beneficiaries; • Coordination with all stakeholders in the region at the community and provincial government levels; as per past interventions, NRC will ensure that it coordinates with women’s shuras as well to ensure participation and

Afghan women have limited freedom to escape the norms and traditions that dictate a subservient status for females. Women in Afghanistan are also subjected to the violence inherent in armed conflict that has intensified in recent years and is exacting an increasingly heavy toll on Afghan civilians. Violence, in its acute form, makes its presence felt in widespread lawlessness and criminality. All these forms of violence are closely linked to a deeply entrenched culture of impunity that is, in part, an outcome of decades of conflict and indifference to a justice agenda that would also allow for a transition from, and draw a line under, a long history of egregious human rights violations.

The provision of shelter is an integral part of NRC’s overall goal to ensure that the basic human rights of refugees and IDPs are respected. The provision of a durable home that is owned by the beneficiary mitigates many protection gaps faced in the conservative rural Afghan society. Family shelter serves as a base for economic activities, and is then a sine qua non for self sustainability of a female headed household.

Since 2008 NRC has provided legal assistance, shelter and livelihoods assistance to women at risk of gender based violence such as domestic violence, early marriage, and sexual violence. As of 2012, NRC secured funding from BPRM to provide legal assistance to survivors of GBV in Herat Province. The aim of this proposal is to assist and target the same beneficiaries by providing basic shelter to 200 families identified through NRC’s legal aid project.

Two hundred shelter units will be provided to an equal number of disempowered female headed households at high risk in the province of Herat. Reduced dependence leads to increased status within the community, greater acceptance and, consequently, increased safety from abuse of all kinds. The 200 shelters to be provided will comply with the Sphere Standards and will be based on one of UNHCR’s standard shelter designs for Afghanistan (Shelter Guidelines 2008). The designs are based on a mud brick house structure with two rooms, a corridor, external latrine and a basic hygiene kit. Adaptations will be made according to the family size, local and beneficiary preferences and conditions. Activities

• Through participatory approaches and from referrals made via NRC’s legal aid project, identify communities, GBV survivors and other vulnerable women that meet the criteria for shelter interventionsMobilisation of beneficiaries to ensure that the self help approach is successful. • Procurement of shelter materials following international, transparent guidelines. • Provision of technical guidance to beneficiaries during the construction period. In the case of female headed households where no adult male is present, NRC will engage the assistance of male relatives in the construction of the shelter units • Hygiene promotion training provided to shelter beneficiaries • Distribution of hygiene kits to beneficiaries; beneficiaries will be consulted about the content to of the hygiene kits before the kits are procured and delivered

Page 83 of 432. Outcomes

• At least 200 families have benefited from permanent shelter, constructed in accordance with guidelines and norms valid in Afghanistan in accordance with the Sphere Shelter Standards – two room shelters. • Protection of people’s lives and property through timely and effective provision of emergency shelter • Improved hygiene awareness and practices are observed in the families that benefit from the latrine that is a part of the shelter component. • Reduced health risks for vulnerable communities through provision of physical shelter and improved hygiene awareness • To improve access to legal and material assistance and referral services for vulnerable women and girls including survivors of, or those at risk of being subjected to GBV; • To improve basic standards of privacy and dignity for vulnerable women through the provision of independent shelters. • Improved access to material assistance for vulnerable women and girls, including survivors of, or those at risk of being subjected to GBV

Enhanced Capital - Kabul Geographical Fields Needs

The city of Kabul has grown from 1.78 million in 1999 to an estimated 4.5 – 5.0 million in 2011, with an influx of approximately 3.2 million people in 10 years. Approximately 80% of the city is built in unplanned or illegally occupied areas, some with little or no access to basic infrastructure and services. Although some of the displaced and returnee population are resettling in peri urban and rural areas through Land Allocation Schemes (LAS), the city of Kabul continues to grow as does the population in need of shelter assistance.

According to a UNHCR database, a total of 4,423,638 persons or 766,186 families returned to Afghanistan in 2002 2009, of which 27% came to Kabul Province. Of the returns to the Kabul province, 65% set Kabul city as their destination; 18% of the total returnees or 737,970 persons/136,073 families came to the City of Kabul. These figures include only assisted returns. It is estimated that another approx 2.2 million persons returned unassisted, and IDPs who have fled from unsecured areas goes up to one million.

Many landless returnees have been living in highly overcrowded situations with friends and family. The high return areas have been burdened with an additional and significant drain on local resources, including housing, arable land, water and employment opportunities. In addition to the pre existing vulnerabilities of many communities, the continued influx of returnees has led to an increased risk of economic hardship for entire communities.

Access to land continues to be a major obstacle to shelter assistance in Kabul city. Based on the work of NRC’s Information Counselling and Legal Assistance team, NRC has found that there are a large number of families in Kabul who have access to land in the city but little, limited or no resources to build or repair their homes.

The provision of shelter is an integral part of NRC’s overall goal to ensure that the basic human rights of refugees and IDPs are respected. The provision of a durable home that is owned by the beneficiary mitigates many protection gaps faced in the conservative urban Afghan society. Family shelter serves as a base for economic activities, and is then a sine qua non for self sustainability of a female headed household. At the time of writing this proposal, the exact number of female-headed households among IDP and returnee population is unknown, however estimates based on previous programming suggests that roughly 10% of the population fall into the category.

Through a pilot project funded by ECHO, NRC has assisted 108 returnee and IDP families in PD 13 and PD 16 in Kabul in 2011. While the existing caseload was around 1000 shelters in these two districts, NRC did not have the resources at the time to assist more than 108 families. However, with increased resources, NRC intends to respond to the continuing shelter needs in these two districts in particular to the most vulnerable families including female-headed, elderly and large family households.

Enhanced Eastern - Nangarhar Geographical Fields Eastern - Laghman Needs

Poor protection of human rights, an intensifying armed conflict and a sharp rise in humanitarian needs have contributed to growing protection gaps in Eastern region of Afghanistan; and refugee returnees and internally displace people (IDPs) often fall into extreme vulnerability because they lack access to basic services, land, and employment, and are not able to integrate into host communities.

Since 2002, more than 5.75 million refugees have returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan and Iran. Refugee return has increased the estimated population by over 20% and placed huge strain on vulnerable receiving communities, increasing hardship and producing tensions in high return areas. This is partly due to a decrease in services for refugees and increasing forced returns from Pakistan and Iran, where most are situated.

UNHCR sources say that since 2002, 1.16 million refugees (1, 94,790 families) have returned from Pakistan to the Eastern region; 70% of these returnees experience worse living conditions than the local population. Nearly 30% of refugee returnees are living in inaccessible areas where humanitarian agencies have no or limited access. So far, 50,000 plus shelters have been delivered by all humanitarian actors in eastern region, and there is gap for nearly 45,000 shelters in the area.

The country has also seen an increase in numbers of IDPs due to armed conflict. Lack of access to land and housing, unemployment and lack of basic services are also obstacles to durable solutions for IDPs.

The Pakistani Government is increasing pressure on Afghan refugees (Chakdara camp) to leave the country; it is expected that nearly 10,000 families will arrive from Pakistan particularly from refugee camps. If this happens, the situation in the eastern region will deteriorate, resulting in serious protection gaps such as shelter, sanitation and livelihoods.

The main challenge facing many returnees and IDPs is securing land and quality housing. Widespread destruction of property and the illegal occupation of homes during the many years of conflict have created a severe shortage of adequate housing in Afghanistan. Lack of adequate housing disproportionately affects returnees and IDPs, in particular female headed households and those who have returned most recently. In rural areas, returnees and IDPs live with relatives or in overcrowded and poor quality shelters with few livelihood opportunities, especially for women who must overcome general social prejudices and restrictions over ownership of goods, livestock, etc. as well as bias against them as outsiders in the community.

The project will target 1000 most vulnerable families including female headed households and widows (800 in Nangrahar and 200 in Laghman provinces).

Enhanced Eastern - Nangarhar Geographical Fields Needs

A series of heavy rains and flash floods in late August/September have caused wide spread destruction in Nangarhar and Laghman Provinces in the eastern Afghanistan. As a result of the devastating floods, a total of 1508 families had their homes totally/partially destroyed in Nangarhar and Laghman Provinces, according to UNOCHA /ANDMA assessments. In Nangarhar Province alone, a total 823 flood affected families are present in 10 districts. Of these, 314 families’ shelters may be considered fully destroyed.

The critical humanitarian need is to provide shelter for beneficiaries who have totally lost their homes due to the flooding. Currently, these families are living with host families or on government lands. Tents, NFIs and dry food have been provided by humanitarian actors in the area, and given in close coordination with ANDMA (Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority) and UNOCHA.

However, the response required is far greater than that can be provided by just one humanitarian agency as the destruction is spread over many districts. NRC aims to fill the gap in shelter construction for the flood affected by providing shelters to 200 shelter beneficiaries in Mamandara, Beshud, Ghanikhel and Kama districts of Nangarhar province. At the time of writing the proposal, NRC is unaware of the specific and distinct needs of the women, girls, boys and men within the affected population and has been unable to conduct gender sensitive assessments. NRC aims to carry out more rigorous assessments upon securing funding, in order to better target vulnerable groups or individuals. Activities

• Coordination with all stakeholders in the region at the community and provincial government levels to ensure accurate exchange of information and consultation with stakeholders. • Close coordination with other shelter actors / selection of specific areas of implementation; • Establish local committees such as the BSC (Beneficiary Selection Committee); NRC will coordinate with all stakeholders in the region at the community level to establish the BSC; as per past interventions, NRC will ensure that it coordinates with women’s shuras as well to ensure participation and involvement of women in the decision making processes • Training of BSC NRC will ensure that female staff provide separate training to female beneficiaries so as to encourage participation of women in the BSC; • Beneficiary selection in coordination with Department of Returnees and Repatriation, Municipality, community leaders, and women’s shuras through the BSC; • Through participatory approaches support the BSC to indentify communities and vulnerable, female beneficiaries. All assessments conducted by NRC will include female staff to ensure gender balance in the process as well as to ensure access to female beneficiaries. • Mobalization of beneficiaries to ensure that self help approach is successful. • Procurement / award of supply contracts; • Transport and distribution of shelter items to beneficiaries including cash grants; distributions will be made in coordination with the community; female staff from NRC will carry out separate distributions targeting

Enhanced Western - Hirat Geographical Fields Needs

Over the last thirty years, Afghanistan has had the largest refugee repatriation in the world. More than five million Afghan refugees have returned home since 2002 comprising more than one fifth of the country’s population, with large numbers of refugees returning to urban centres around Kabul (central), Nangarhar (East), Herat (West) and Kunduz (North). UNHCR estimates that there are currently 165,000 refugee returnees in need of assistance in the country and that in the period 2009 2013 the total number of refugee returnees returning to Afghanistan will be 815,457. At the same time, Iran is steadily deporting undocumented workers, mainly seasonal migrants working in agriculture, back through two major border points in western Afghanistan : Islam Qala in Herat Province and Zaranj in Nimroz Province.

Concentrations of IDPs are still scattered across much of southern Afghanistan, Herat in the west, and in parts of the north. The main areas of concentration of IDPs in Herat are in Herat city, Guzara and Injli districts . Recent profiling by the National IDP Task force and UNHCR identified over 58,590 newly displaced and 15,456 protracted internally displaced people living in the Western region. They are largely composed of women and men who have fled persecution or who are displaced by drought and the collapse of coping strategies. Further, in 2011 UNHCR estimated that there are approximately 322,636 voluntary and involuntary returnees in the Western region of Afghanistan.

Upon return to Afghanistan, the returnees face a wide range of challenges, regardless of their areas of return . In order to ensure sustainable reintegration they need to ensure basic living conditions and subsistence and link to a range of basic services; they need to re establish family and social networks and re connect with their communities. While in displacement, the number of members per family increased easily ten times, and returning back to the places of origin is often not an option due to the limited accommodation and land capacity.

Through this project, NRC aims to assist 3000 individuals (500 families), consisting of vulnerable returnees from Iran, recent IDPs as well as vulnerable individuals from the local community in Injil, Karuk and Kushk districts with timely and effective distribution of shelter in Ghoryan, Kushk in Herat and Obe districts. Activities

• Through participatory approaches, identify communities and vulnerable female and male beneficiaries that meet the criteria for shelter interventions. • Coordination of beneficiary selection with Department of Returnees and Repatriation and other stakeholders in the region at the community and provincial government levels; as per past interventions, NRC will ensure that it coordinates with women’s shuras as well to ensure participation and involvement of women in the decision making processes • Ensure inclusion of beneficiaries who settled in the land owned by the government are assisted in the transitional shelter.

Page 101 of 432. • Mobilisation of beneficiaries to ensure that the self help approach is successful.

Procurement of shelter materials following international, transparent guidelines. • Provision of technical guidance to beneficiaries during the construction period. In the case of female headed households where no adult male is present, NRC will engage the assistance of male relatives in the construction of the shelter units • Provide hygiene promotion training to shelter beneficiaries, training for women will be conducted separately by NRC’s female staff to ensure their participation. • Distribution of hygiene kits to beneficiaries; beneficiaries will be consulted about the content to of the hygiene kits before the kits are procured and delivered Outcomes

• At least 500 families have benefited from temporary or permanent shelter, constructed in accordance with guidelines and norms valid in Afghanistan and in accordance with the Sphere Shelter Standards 100 temporary shelters (one-room) and 400 permanent two room shelters. • Protection of people’s lives and property through timely and effective provision of emergency shelter • Improved hygiene awareness and practices are observed in the families that benefit from the shelter component. • Reduced health risks for vulnerable communities through provision of physical shelter and improved hygiene awareness

This project aims to combine NRC Afghanistan’s efforts to increase the organisation’s in country emergency response capacity with gaining increased access by using a model of rapid and effective response to localised emergency events as a means to advertise the efficiency and neutrality of the organisation and gain acceptance within communities, which in turn may assist to influence the attitude of previously hostile non state actors.

There is an estimated 302,776 persons displaced since June 2009 in Afghanistan, of which 147,661 are newly displaced in 2011 alone. In the North, there are presently some 47,724 displaced individuals alone, which is a 65% increase in the first eight months of 2011 compared to 2010. Many of these individuals are presently extremely vulnerable and lack many basic needs such as shelter, NFI and protection from the onset of winter, in particular, children and female heads of households.

The provision of emergency shelter, NFI and winterisation commodities is an integral part of NRC ’s overall goal to ensure that the basic human rights of refugees and IDPs are respected. Additionally, the NRC Emergency NFI and Shelter project coordinates all its activities with the provincial Afghan National Disaster Management Authorities (ANDMA), the Emergency Shelter and NFI Cluster and other relief providers. In northern Afghanistan, NRC’s existing emergency projects have, to date, indentified and prioritized the need to provide humanitarian assistance for 27 emergency situations, both manmade and natural disasters since November 2009. For example NRC has responded to:

• Faryab 300 families displaced due to floods (May 2010) • Samagan 600 families displaced due to an earthquake (Sept 2010) • Faryab 1270 families displaced as a result of conflict (Nov 2010) • Saripul Spontaneous return of 35 families from Iran (Jan 2011) • Kunduz Displacement of 497 families due to conflict (Feb 2011) • Balkh 58 families deported from Iran (July 2011) • Faryab – 507 families displaced due to conflict (Aug 2011) • Sari Pul – 214 families displaced due to conflict (Sept 2011)

The purpose of this project is to access and assist people in need of humanitarian protection and assistance . The needs in northern Afghanistan aim to target families affected by climatic extremes, natural disaster, spontaneous returns and more recently increased numbers of conflict affected IDPs. Through this project, NRC plans to address emergency shelter and NFI needs in six Northern provinces and their districts. Of the

Page 105 of 432. total affected population, the project aims to assist 6,000 affected beneficiaries through timely and effective stockpiling and distribution. At the time of writing the proposal, NRC is unaware of the specific needs of the affected population and has been unable to conduct gender sensitive assessments. NRC aims to carry out more rigorous assessments upon securing funding, in order to better target vulnerable groups or individuals. Activities

• Orientation training for NRC field staff including female staff in order to ensure a gender balanced team as well as to improve NRC’s access to female beneficiaries • Coordination with all stakeholders in the region at the community and provincial government levels • In cooperation with other relief agencies, prepare beneficiary lists based on indentified priorities; NRC will ensure that needs assessments and priorities are identified for both men and women carried out by a gender balanced assessment team • Stockpiling of standard NFI kits, ‘winterisation’ kits, traditional stoves & fuel, WMTS (Weather Mitigating Tent Shelter) – prefabricated and ready for deployment • Transport NFI kits and shelter repair kits to distribution points and conduct distribution in coordination with the affected community; female staff from NRC will carry out separate distributions targeting women, children, the elderly and other vulnerable groups • Coordination of activities with other humanitarian actors and local authorities. Outcomes

• Through the prepositioning of essential relief items near areas of seasonal natural disaster or conflict displacement, NRC will be able to respond in a timely and efficient fashion with 2,000 NFI kits. • Greater acceptance of the organisation and of humanitarian actors generally, to improve humanitarian access to other areas of need or displacement. • Flexible and varied mechanisms of assistance will allow NRC to reactively meet needs and place the organisation in a strong position from which to influence and lead responses to displacement caused by either conflict or natural disaster. • Increased protection of vulnerable groups particularly children, female headed households, and the elderly in an efficient manner. • Protection of people’s lives and property through timely and effective provision of 1,000 tents.

Enhanced Central Highland - Bamyan Geographical Fields Needs

Bamyan is one the provinces affected by emergencies specially floods, extreme cold and drought. With winter approaching, many people are not able to travel outside their villages due to extreme cold weather and snow . This affects children’s school attendance. Most roads and pathways in Bamyan are closed by snow during the winter. During the previous winter, ANDMA estimated that over 350 families in Bamyan’s 56 cluster villages were in need of winter emergency assistance. The district will be cut off from the rest of the province and supplies in this area, such as medical supplies, will not be available. Therefore, there is need to make supplies available to vulnerable men, women and children to avoid loss of life during winter in Bamyan. Vulnerable men and women need heaters to keep themselves warm but these vulnerable men and women cannot afford to buy diesel. They also need blankets. Boys and girls need warms clothes that include winter shoes, undergarments and jackets to keep themselves warm, This will also enable them to continue with their education during winter.

These problems and their impact on the population demand humanitarian assistance in the provision of NFIs that will enable vulnerable households to keep warm. The most vulnerable women, men, boys and girls and the elderly will need support to keep warm during the coming winter. Most of the men and women in the target areas have been affected by drought and are struggling to get food. It will be a daunting task for them to get enough income to buy warm clothes and oil for heating.

During last winter, ActionAid found out that at least 13 people lost their lives as they could not access medical attention due to severe winter. ActionAid would like to respond in order to arrest the dangers associated with severe cold and associated diseases and suffocation due to lack of knowledge on how to use heaters diesel powered heaters safely.

During last winter, ActionAid conducted a rapid assessment of the affected area and identified the critical needs of the affected men and women and boys and girls. The assessment was carried immediately after ANDMA had carried out another assessment that produced similar results for the same area. ActionAid is planning to assist 2,450 men and boys and women and girls (870 people in Punjab, 580 people in Yakawlang and 1000 Waras) districts of Bamyan province during the coming winter period. Based on last season ’s data, these people will be severely affected by cold weather as a result of heavy snow anticipated in the target areas . Using last winter’s data, snow made most roads impassable and this resulted in people failing to access basic necessities such as health care and warm clothes. These households are the most vulnerable and the worst affected by the current drought. Because of this they will not be able to meet the new demands of making family members warm.

The needs are;

Page 108 of 432. 1. O/diesel for heating for 2,450 men and women and children-the most vulnerable who are facing food shortages cannot afford to meet the cost oil/diesel to meet their heat needs. 2. Men, women, boys and girls need warm blankets and clothes and 2,450 men, women and children are in need 3. Men, women and children need safety education to avoid suffocation and snow bite in winter. Every winter there are so many people who die of carbon monoxide poisoning and most of these are women and children. Activities

Specific Objective: To reduce suffering (and possible deaths) caused by severe cold conditions in the target districts.

Activities • Community mobilization for NFIs • Selection and registration of beneficiaries • Procure and delivery of NFIs diesel/oil, blankets for men and women and warms clothes for children • Distribution of the clothes, oil/diesel to the registered beneficiaries • Provide safety education campaigns to reduce suffocation through village based meetings Outcomes

1. 2450 men, women and children have access to warm blankets, clothes and diesel for heating to fight severe cold in the district 2. Improved school attendance by children in winter as result of warm clothes distributed 3.

While some IDPs could find support in the place of displacement either from relatives, friends or through their own means, a significant number of them would continue to require assistance from the government and the humanitarian community with regards to basic NFIs and emergency shelter among other basic needs. Internal displacement will continue to be a significant element of UNHCR’s program in Afghanistan in 2012.

The increase in internal conflicts related to activities by insurgents and other anti government elements, coupled with counter military operation through national and international military forces have been causing huge displacement mainly in the south, west, east and central regions.

In many cases the displacement of PoC is prolonged and the living conditions are precarious. Basic shelter is one of the most important needs to be addressed. Further, there is a need for UNHCR shelter intervention to assist the most vulnerable and, as the lead agency for the Shelter and NFIs Cluster, for continued coordination of shelter assistance provided by all actors in Afghanistan and advocacy for a standardized shelter package for all IDPs.

Each person is unique. The differences between people, whether actual or perceived, can be defining characteristics that play a central role in determining an individual's opportunities, capacities, needs and vulnerability. Activities

Provide one room shelter assistance to 6,000 vulnerable conflict-induced IDP families (36,000 individuals) and IDP returnees. A one-room shelter provides basic support that can later be incrementally improved according to the needs of the family.

Distribute basic household items to IDPs, including blankets, jerry cans and plastic sheeting. The NFI kit

Page 110 of 432. basket will be harmonized in accordance with shelter cluster recommendations during the course of 2012 to better meet the immediate needs of IDPs.

Maintain emergency response capacity for winterization and possible emergencies targeting 20,000 families (120,000 individuals).

AGDM principles will be at the base of planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating of projects in Afghanistan, thus seeking to ensure that all persons of concern enjoy their rights on an equal footing and are able to participate fully in the decisions that affect their lives and the lives of their family members and communities. Outcomes

Up to 6,000 vulnerable conflict-induced IDP families are able to construct one room shelters, primarily in the Eastern, South Western, Western, Southern, and Northern Regions, of the country.

Assist some 20,000 IDP families with basic NFIs and winterization packages.

Maintain a contingency stock of 20,000 NFI kits for emergency response.

The partners of the Emergency Shelter and NFI Cluster in Afghanistan receive the appropriate coordination services to respond more effectively to the needs of the affected population than they could do individually by working together in a coordinated manner and in accordance with the Principles of Partnership.

Projects implemented will be evaluated keeping in mind equality and full participation as guiding principles.

Every year hundreds of families lose their houses and lands due to increase of water in Amo River bank in Shoor Tipa and Kaldar districts of Balkh province. The river water increases due to snow melts during the summer season. Currently most of the mentioned families are living in displacement and are in desperate need of shelter assistance. The general living condition of the displaced families including women, children and men is very poor. If they are not provided with shelter, women and children will be further at risk of catching diseases as result of cold and hot weather and a serious humanitarian crisis can be foreseen. Activities

About 200 shelters will be built for the neediest families. Each shelter will be built with two rooms, one corridor and one latrine. The shelter will be in the same standard type as implemented by UNHCR IPs and NRDOAW's shelter project funded by ERF which is being implemented in Balkh province. All the needed materials including wooden beams, windows, doors, roofing pallets and masonry equipment will be provided to each beneficiary. Women, men and boys will equally benefit from the project and the project will ensure their physical protection both during the cold and hot seasons. The whole project cycle will comprise liaisons with local authorities, beneficiary selection, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the project. The project timeline has been proposed for one year and if the funding becomes available earlier in the year, the project will be completed by the third quarter of 2012. Outcomes

• All the above beneficiaries will be provided with one shelter unit • All the beneficiaries including women and children will be protected against diseases which can be caught due to lack of shelter. • The beneficiaries will not face future displacements. • The project will create job opportunities to beneficiaries and build their their capacity in construction activities of which the other family members (women and children) will indirectly benefit.

1. NEEDS (Humanitarian assistance)

IOM Afghanistan is the co- lead of the Inter Agency Emergency Shelter and NFIs cluster and leads the country's interagency IDP Task Force on Natural Disaster induced IDPs (with UNHCR leading the same Task Force's branch for Conflict Induced IDPs). By the end of 2011, IOM will have reached out to approximately 30,000 Afghan families who have suffered from floods, drought earthquakes, avalanches and harsh weather conditions.

In 2012, drought will be a triggering factor to increase the need of assistance to natural disaster affected and displaced populations. The drought has already affected more around three 3 million Afghans in 14 provinces in North, North East, West and Central Highland regions. The dependency of the population on farming in these regions has affected livelihood resulting in food shortage and lack of water. Drought in these provinces already started to force families to move, being reported by IOM in the month of September around 644 displaced families in Western region and over 500 in North region.

The drought will continue to force families to move to other locations creating the need for shelter, NFI and warm clothing due to the upcoming winter. In addition to that, Afghanistan will be exposed to numerous and wide ranging (geographically speaking) natural disasters such as floods, drought, harsh winter /extreme cold and landslides that might affect more than one1 million Aafghans.

Page 114 of 432. IOM seeks, therefore, to preposition NFIs for the most vulnerable populations affected by natural disasters, having as its priority beneficiaries those extremely vulnerable families /individuals among these populations groups, including single female headed households or single females elderly or disabled women and men and unaccompanied girls and boys.

This proposal will ensure that IOM has implementation funding secured for the whole of 2012 and the following represent some of the primary justifications for the need for continued provision and increase of assistance:

• The ongoing need to assist populations displaced by recurring floods, drought and the expectations of their continuation throughout all seasons of 2012; • Limited access to areas in need during the winter and necessity of pre positioning stock piles of assistance, for the coldest months of the year; • IOM has responded to spring floods and already started to assist drought affected populations with Family Revitalization and Emergency Shelter Kits to affected families countrywide. However, there is still a major gap, both when it comes to the non food items, shelter kits and winter kits for 2012. This proposal seeks to fill this gap;

2. NEEDS (Human resource capacity)

IOM has strong country wide presence. The IOM Kabul office (which also serves as its Central Region office) together with eight sub offices in Kandahar, Hirat, Bamyan, Balkh, Konduz, Faizabad, Jalalabad and Gardez, cover the country with its office network.

However, to increase IOM humanitarian assistance and distribution capacity with the inter agency mechanism, some additional human resource capacity is much needed and the establishment of new sub offices to reach inaccessible provinces such as Nuristan, Paktika, Khost, Ghazni, Daikundii, Ghor, Badghis, Helmand and Zabul.

IOM therefore needs additional funding in order to complement other funding sources and strengthen our emergency response capacity country wide. Activities

• Identification of manufacturers/providers of NFIs, which will include but are not limited to: winter clothing, blankets, Afghan traditional mattresses, hygiene and cooking and serving items; and basic construction tools . Identification of manufacturers of shelter materials. Depending on availability IOM will procure supplies from the Afghan private sector to support the national economy;

• Carrying out of rapid needs assessments within affected populations by IOM staff individually (if required) and jointly and in coordination with UN and national partner agencies;• Carrying assessments within affected populations in coordination with partner agencies;

• Send to natural disaster affected areas gender-balance teams to identify extremely vulnerable families/individuals and their distinct shelter and NFI needs determined through field surveys (when and where access is permitted) that use participatory assessment techniques and incorporate age, gender and diversity considerations and questions.

• Procurement, warehousing and distribution of emergency non food and shelter items through the existing IOM sub offices in Afghanistan;

• Monitoring actual assistance delivered to beneficiaries and evaluation of the effectiveness of the assistance provided to affected families; and equity of access for the most vulnerable groups identified/assessed previously.

• Further strengthening of existing IOM country national staff (for rapid needs assessments and distribution of emergency NFIs as well as for inter agency coordination of humanitarian assistance activities for ND induced IDPs);

• Provision of logistical, finance management and liaising through procedures in IOM Kabul office;

Page 115 of 432. • Extending IOM’s physical presence to nine9 provinces in South, South east, West, East and Central Highland regions (Helmand, Zabul, Paktika, Khost, Ghazni, Ghor, Badghis, Nooristan and Daikundi).

Enhanced Northern - Samangan Geographical Fields Needs

Northern Afghanistan is a highly disaster prone region. Samangan province includes seasonal flooding, drought, landslides, earthquake, and armed conflict hazards. The Natural and man -made disasters have a devastating impact on vulnerable communities and populations.

The 52 household of Ghazimard, Abdul Malik, Deh Assel, Kolor Bala and Pain villages of Khuram -o-Sarbagh district of Samangan province income and relief storage along with their house buildings are washed out entirely due to May 11, 2011 start-up flash flood disaster. It is caused destruction of house buildings (52 houses entirely and 28 partially), 102 Jirib agricultural lands and garden plots, 972m protection walls, 2 power dikes, 100 m stream, 3 Karez, roads, etc and identified by the rapid assessments of ACT/SRP and government departments. The hazard leads the majorities to be settled in their relative and friend houses in urban and other adjacent rural areas. The affected populations’ economic disabilities, destroyed houses, washed out assets, livestock and agricultural income sources put them in further vulnerabilities. The majority livelihoods depend on 1-2 Jireb of their agricultural lands’ income. It is valuable that the other collective adjacent community and local government are concerned on area stability due to chronic vulnerability and economic disability of the affected groups as stated by the interviewees. In many cases host families carry the burden of housing the displaced. The host families are very concerned on living space and facilities; foods, hygiene, water, clothing and beddings, child and pregnant care, and other vital issues in winter. The target groups only received some basic food and none food items through ANDMA department. In sequence to the flash flood, dryness came and affected the majority of the population in the province. For the time being, the affected people only could assist their families in terms of being alive and basic food intake supplying.

The permanent emergency shelters needs of the 52 flood disaster affected household remained as major gaps in terms of relief provision. The coping strategy or approaches will initiate community physical efforts ’ contribution. For the time, the affected groups are in lack of any income and relief support sources in the province.

The Afghanistan people highly prioritize the permanent shelter than other vital and relief services due to being in religion restrictions. So, the shelter has been identified as the main humanitarian needs to the eligible families by the local Shuras, government and the humanitarian NGO community. As many vulnerable families including the victims of natural disasters cannot afford to provide their daily livelihood and bedding facilities rather than to build a permanent shelter on their own.

The project already coordinated with relevant government departments, agencies and organizations in the province and region. In addition, the need is shared with OCHA ERF in form of application for funding in following to the incident. Unfortunately no commitment and response is received to support the people.

The SRP project is developed in response to the identified committee priority and SRP carried out assessments on May 12 to assist the 52 victim families through provision of shelter reconstruction “materials provision and skill building” to meet the most personal human needs for shelter from the climate and the maintenance of health, privacy and dignity. It should also be remembered that the relevant authorities are unable to provide sufficient humanitarian responses to the protection and assistance needs of the population on the territory over which they have control and assessed unmet, the life -saving needs provide relief and promote livelihoods that exceeds the sphere minimum standards.

Enhanced Northern - Samangan Geographical Fields Northern - Sari Pul Northern - Balkh Northern - Jawzjan Needs

Northern Afghanistan is a heavily disaster prone region. Main natural hazards include floods, drought, harsh winter, landslides, rock falls, and earthquake. According to government /UN/NGO assessments conducted in Balkh, Faryab, Jawzjan, Samangan, and Sari Pul provinces in 2009, 2010 and 2011, more than 21000 families are annually affected by natural hazards in the region.

Natural disasters have a devastating impact on vulnerable communities. They kill and injure people and livestock; destroy houses, agricultural land, household food stocks, water sources, community assets and infrastructure; lead to internal displacement, loss of livelihoods and lead to increased health risks, in particular for children under five and lactating mothers. In 2010 floods more than 11,000 families were affected in the five Northern provinces, 53 people were killed and 22 people were injured.

An immediate relief need is emergency shelter, in particular tents. Experience has shown that there is a severe shortage of tents for emergency purposes in the Northern Region. The ADEO projects addresses the gap based on assessed needs. Tents as an emergency shelter measure are very important as they provide protection to displaced people and their rescued properties. Secondly, experience in the 2010 Samangan earthquake has shown that beneficiary families who have lost their houses request first and foremost tents as an emergency measure (see ARCS/UN/NGO mission report from April 2010). In the Samangan earthquake, affected families told relief organizations that they can cope without on time food assistance but not without tents. It is their first priority need. Thirdly, tents are also from a cultural point of view very important, as disaster affected areas tend to be quite conservative and ability to shield affected family members from outsiders is an important cultural value.

The ADEO project addresses emergency shelter needs of an estimated 1,000 disaster affected families in the Northern Region with a focus on Balkh, Samangan, Jawzjan, and Saripul provinces as they are the most disaster prone areas. the tent which ADEO distribute will be two layers tent with the size of 4x6m with best quality safe against wind, rain and sun. Activities

• To conduct needs assessments upon happening of an emergency and coordinate emergency shelter needs with ANDMA and NR Emergency Shelter Working Group. • In cooperation with ANDMA and other relief partners, prepare beneficiary lists based on identified priorities. • Transport emergency shelter (tents) to distribution points and conduct distributions.

Page 119 of 432. • Monitor use of emergency shelter and prepare end of project report. Outcomes

• Timely and effectively provision of emergency shelter for natural disaster and conflict displaced at risk families. • People’s lives and essential property during emergencies (floods, landslide, earthquake, and drought) are protected. • Reduced health risks through protection from sun, dust, sand storms, and rain. • Reduced risks of malnutrition through protection of emergency food rations and rescued household food stocks.. • Increased protection of vulnerable community members, in particular of children under five, lactating mothers, sick and elderly.

Enhanced North Eastern - Takhar Geographical Fields Needs

Afghanistan is a highly disaster prone country in the region. Hazards in Takhar province include seasonal flooding, drought, armed conflict and IDPs/refugees. Indeed, natural and man-made disasters have a devastating impact on vulnerable communities and economic disabled populations in particular on children under five, pregnant women and lactating mothers.

The 2011 flash flood (April 10, and May 05 & 09, 2011) affected the populations of Bangi, Eshkamish, Taliqan, Chal, Namakab, Farkhar, Cha-ab districts of Takhar province. As result six individuals dead and 359 houses along with their income and storage sources, were washed out completely. The disaster destroyed house buildings (359 houses completely and 369 partially), 3,666 Jiribs of agricultural lands and garden plots, 62 water intakes, 30 canals, 1,030 m retaining walls, three bridges, 10,700 m roads, and 951 livestock. The figures were found during government and NGO joint rapid assessments on May and June 2011.

The hazard leads the majorities to be settled in their relatives’ and friends’ houses in urban and other adjacent rural areas. The affected populations’ economic disabilities, destroyed houses, washed out assets, livestock and agricultural income sources put them in further vulnerabilities. The majority households depend on the income from their small agricultural lands. In many cases, host families carry the burden of housing the displaced. The result is an additional burden for already chronically vulnerable families, putting them at risk as well. The dryness put the majority into chronic vulnerabilities and economic disabilities.

The permanent emergency shelters needs of the 359 flood affected household remained as major gaps in terms of relief provision. The integration of community physical efforts and contribution will develop coping strategy and ownership approaches over the province.

The Afghanistan people highly prioritize the permanent shelter construction than other vital relief services for having religion restrictions and cultures. So, the shelter has been identified as the main humanitarian needs of the eligible families by the Shuras, government and the humanitarian NGO community. As many vulnerable families including the victims of natural disasters cannot afford to provide their daily livelihood and bedding facilities rather than to build a permanent shelter on their own.

Following the assessment conducted jointly by ANDAM, ARCS and DHSA in the areas where we had shelter, CFW, IGA, WAT/SAN and winterization projects in 2012, the assessment found that almost 200 families consisting of new and backlog IDPs and conflict displaced people are in need of shelter assistance in several districts of Faryab Province. In addition, UNHCR Statistics indicate that most IDPs have returned to their villages of origin after many years (15-35 years) of living in asylum situation in the neighboring countries, IDPs who returned from the south part of Afghanistan and need immediate reintegration assistance, particularly shelter. Shelter is the basic reintegration need of the people of concern and this will address the immediate protection needs of the population. i.e. provide protection from cold and hot weather, reduce the number of SGBV cases, reduce communicable disease and, above all, give a sense of dignified return. While UNHCR has implemented a considerable number of shelters in the previous years, there is still the need to provide more. Activities

Provide 200 IDPs affected vulnerable families with adequate shelter through the community self-built approach. • The 200 IDP families will be identified by means of a defined vulnerability criteria that prioritizes among others, economic marginalization, gender, age, chronic illness, impact of devastation, shelter needs, etc . through a stakeholder represented Beneficiary Selection Committee that is already active and existing . Women’s participation will be ensured while utilizing reliable household data and employing priority ranking tools and conflict sensitivity approaches. • The shelter will be constructed with extensive community participation through the community self -built approach. • The project will obtain community commitment and participation, procure the construction materials and make them available to each household. • Community members (at least 12% will be women) will be compensated on a progressive basis for their unskilled labor in constructing the shelters. • DHSA will provide technical supervision to ensure the quality of the shelter construction. • Provide technical advice on construction (modern) techniques. • Monitoring / verification of the construction process Outcomes

This project has been designed based on need assessment and further consultation with affected populations, local Shuras, members of the Community Development Councils, District Development Assembly, ANDAMA, UNHCR and OCHA. DHSA has been working in implementing of UNHCR’s shelter project since 2006 and has considerable experiences in implementing of such project. In addition DHSA has implemented CFW and water project funded by UNHCR in Faryab and other provinces in the north of Afghanistan.

Page 128 of 432. DHSA is positioned to undertake this project given its strong relations with the communities, district and provincial leaders and authorities and other local stakeholders.

Specific outcomes are: • 200 IDP beneficiary families who are returned and either primarily headed by elderly, disabled, widowed, unemployed, landless or otherwise vulnerable, will benefit from quality shelters • IDPs have their own house and this avoid further movement • Proper housing improves the living condition and mitigates the danger of illness • Financial income can be directed to meet the basic needs of the family • Returnees have a sense of belonging and dress respect from their communities.

In addition, UNHCR Statistics indicates that a total of 10,000 returnee families have returned to their places of origin since the beginning of repatriation season in 2002, in Faryab province. Most of the returnees (refugee) have returned to their villages of origin after many years (15-35 years) of living in asylum situation in the neighboring countries. The returnee faces many reintegration challenges. In addition there are considerable numbers of conflict IDPs who returned from South part of Afghanistan and needs immediate reintegration assistance particularly shelter . Shelter is the basic reintegration needs of the people of concern and this will address the immediate protection needs of the population. i.e. provide protection from cold and hot weather, reduce the SGBV cases, reduce the communicable disease and above all a sense of dignified return.

Women’s participation will be ensured while utilizing reliable household data and employing priority ranking tools and conflict sensitivity approaches. • The shelter will be constructed with extensive community participation through the community self -built approach. • The project will obtain community commitment and participation, procure the construction materials and make them available to each household. • Community members (at least 12% will be women) will be compensated on a progressive basis for their unskilled labor in constructing the shelters. • DHSA will provide technical supervision to ensure the quality of the shelter construction. • Provide technical advice on construction (modern) techniques. • Monitoring / verification of construction process Outcomes

This project has been designed based on need assessment and further consultation with affected populations, local Shuras, members of the Community Development Councils, District Development Assembly, ANDAMA, UNHCR and OCHA. DHSA has been working in implementing of UNHCR’s shelter project since 2006 and has

Page 130 of 432. considerable experiences in implementing of such project. In addition DHSA has implemented CFW and water project funded by UNHCR in Faryab and other provinces in the north of Afghanistan. DHSA is positioned to undertake this project given its strong relations with the communities, district and provincial leaders and authorities and other local stakeholders.

Specific outcomes are: • 150 Returnee/IDP beneficiary families who are returned and either primarily headed by elderly, disabled, widowed, unemployed, landless or otherwise vulnerable, will benefit from quality shelters • Refugees have their own house and this avoid further movement • Proper housing improves the living condition and mitigates the danger of illness • Financial income can be directed to meet the basic needs of the family • Returnees have a sense of belonging and dress respect from their communities.

The current VHF security telecommunications system upon which the Humanitarian Community throughout Afghanistan relies is subject to extensive interference, jamming and irregularities. To address these constraints the UN and NGO community will need access to seamless connectivity to the new digital communications system being deployed by UNAMA throughout Afghanistan. The new system will initially be deployed in Kabul to later be expanded to other major cities in Afghanistan. To ensure that communications between the two systems is maintained, the ETC will be required to obtain additional hardware, and specifically bridges between the two systems, to be deployed in existing ETC Communications Centers, and in key location throughout the country. Activities

- Identification of suitable technical solution together with the provider of the system, Motorola. - Establishment of price for end user equipment and overall cost to the humanitarian community. - Procurement and importation of material and equipment required. - Programming of the equipment. - Development of new guidelines and standards. - Training of both technical staff and users on deployment, maintenance and use of the new systems.

Enhanced Northern - Jawzjan Geographical Fields Needs

The lack of rainfall before and during the growing season has led to partial and total loss of harvest in all rain-fed agricultural land in Jawzjan province. The MAIL and FAO Agricultural Prospect Report estimates that this year’s production will be approximately 3.256 million metric tons of wheat, 28 percent less than 2010, an average year. This year’s deficit in national cereal requirements is expected to be approximately 2 million tons and most of the shortfall is experienced in the rain-fed areas in northern Afghanistan. The private sector, through imports is likely to meet this deficit.

This situation is further exacerbated by regional trade policies that are driving the wheat price upwards . Pakistan has imposed export tax for all goods destined for Afghanistan including wheat. Again high wheat export prices in Kazakhstan and poor winter harvest in China will increase the prices of wheat beyond the reach of the poor. Since most northern Afghan farmers depend on rain -fed agriculture and on-farm labour for income, the current situation will result in double tragedy unless efforts are made to meet the grain deficit created by the current poor harvest. The current dry conditions have affected families’ ability to produce food as well as to earn income from on-farm labour. A combination of reduced labour wages of between 40% and 50% and increase in wheat price in the face of poor harvest will affect the ability of households to meet basic needs.

ActionAid, Save the Children, Tearfund and ZOA carried out independent assessments in Khwaja Dokoh, Murdian, Mingajik, Khanaqa, Aqcha, and Sheberghan in July and August 2011 in Jawzjan province with the intention of understanding how poor families were affected by drought. The following issues were noted:; • Pastures for livestock are greatly affected by the current drought and this means farmers are likely to lose their livestock. • Wheat crop planted through rain-fed systems failed in the target province because of poor rains. Irrigated wheat also did not do well due to a shortage of irrigation water. • 90% of surface irrigation water capacities have gone down drastically while over 50% of underground water sources have significantly reduced due to the lowering of the water table. • Most farmers (60%), have food to last them 1-3 months which means they are in need of food assistance. 65% of farmers surveyed prefers CfW for intervention

Page 137 of 432. • The most affected people are the landless labourers, widows, female headed households, people with disabilities, and the elderly and children. These categories of people do not have any meaningful sources of income. • As a coping mechanism, households have started reducing their daily food intake from 3 meals to 2 meals per day while others have started disposing of their productive assets to meet demand for food at household level. • Prices of wheat on the market have increased significantly by almost 65% by July. This puts the cost beyond the reach of many vulnerable households. • Over 50% of the farmers, especially small farmers have started buying food to supplement their dwindling stocks - the men are the farmers, the buying of food refers to the family. The shortage of drinking water has aggravated the poor WASH practices of the people, i .e. using contaminated surface water for cooking and drinking. In Mingajik district, one of the two districts that will be targetted by this project, the other one district is Khanaqa, have had reported series of cholera and loose watery diarrhea outbreaks which were directly attributed to the use of unfiltered contaminated surface water . This was reported in the NR Humanitarian Meeting in August 2011. This was later verified through Tearfund's regular field visits.

Thus, this project will cover all the accessible (about 95%) villages of the districts of Khanaqa and Mingajik, both identified in orange category of the EFSA Assessment. Activities

Activity 1 Provision of cash through CfW mechanisms in order for beneficiaries that include men and women and children to meet 50% of their basic food needs for six months. 1.1 Consortium coordination mechanisms spelt out and coordination meetings scheduled 1.2 Mobilize communities after consultation and agreement with Department of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (DORR) and village community development council (CDC) elders for CfW activities 1.3 Targeting, registration verification of working and non working beneficiaries using an agreed criteria with the CDCs. The working beneficiaries help in the selection and identification of non -working beneficiaries who are selected purely on the basis of of vulnerability. 1.4 Conduct a pre-project implementation survey to determine baseline on current household food insecurity, household coping mechanisms, household food intake and food spending. 1.5 Design/identify CFW activities and develop technical design with the support of the experts. 1.6 Design a cash transfer mechanism that spreads the risks with the support of experts 1.7 Renovate/construct CFW projects in different and identified villages 1.8 Monitor project activities and produce reports 1.9 CFW wage payments and redistribution to highly vulnerable households 1.10 Post-project survey to determine changes on current household food insecurity, household coping mechanisms, household food intake and food spending after the CfW activities.

Activity 2 Provision of hygiene information to men, women and children so that they are aware of the threats to health by water borne pathogens in times of drought. 2.1 Consultation with women, men and children on the rationale for hygiene education in times of drought. 2.2 Choose appropriate hygiene materials after consultation with beneficiaries to be used for training 2.3 Train community facilitators (both men and women) who will in turn train beneficiaries that includes men, women and children. 2.4 Conduct hygiene training of beneficiaries by community facilitators (both men and women facilitators) 2.5 Conduct water treatment awareness and introduce low-cost household water purification technologies (bio-sand filter). Due to cultural reasons, women will generally receive training separately by women employees.

Selection criteria: Households falling into very high-risk food-security profile based on WFP VAM criteria: • Having very poor food consumption • Spend more than 50% of their income on food • Purchase more than 50% of their food in bazaars

Selection of households is undertaken in a participatory manner with the whole communities taking into account the recommendations of the men and women in the communities to avoid conflict.

The practical indicators of the selection criteria have been developed:

Page 138 of 432. • Landless HH who didn’t have income from working as share-croppers • HHwith rain-fed lands of up to four jeribs • HH whose members are not included in any other interventions in the area. • No able bodied male households, widows and people with disabilities In selecting project for CfW, it should be: • Be highly labour intensive, thereby targeting the largest number of unskilled workers • Ensures the largest possible involvement of the most vulnerable people • Ensure quick cash injection through fast implementation • Ensure women managed and/or headed household without able-bodied male members are not excluded from assistance • Achieving lasting benefit for the communities • Conform to established national regulations, including building standards • Avoid causing disruption to established and efficient market structures Outcomes

By the end of the project, 2,003 beneficiary households participating in CFW (water point rehabilitation, road rehabilitation, canal cleaning, etc.) activities have received enough cash to meet 50% food and water basket for six months

By the end of the project, 1,600 beneficiary households are aware of the threats to health by water borne pathogens in times of drought.

3. In order to address the needs of the most vulnerable households, the consortia has decided on a redistribution mechanism to support female-headed households, widows, and the disabled who cannot provide man-power for CfW activities. This redistribution will take the form of a fixed percentage (33%) of the CfW labours wage being kept back in a central pot and distributed to those households. This will additionally strengthen solidarity within the communities. The consortium partners have agreed that where possible (given the differences in how conservative different areas and communities are) the partners will use the redistributed money to implement CfW activities for women.

4. At the same time, the planned CfW labour will be used on projects that bring additional benefits, both for reducing the impact of the current drought, as well as for mitigating future risk. This will happen through a selection of CfW projects including: - Improving market access into remote areas to ensure the passage of water a food during the drought by rehabilitating roads - Cleaning and emergency rehabilitation of water storage points and their catchment area to increase storage capacity and reduce the risk of future water spoiling

Generally, each household will receive 53 USD per month, that is each worker beneficiary will be working for about 9 days in each month. The non working beneficiaries will be receiving the same amount taken from the re-distribution pot which is explained earlier.

Enhanced Northern - Faryab Geographical Fields Needs

It is estimated that 224,000 people (EFSA) severely affected by drought in Faryab province out of 935,000 people in the province are in urgent need of food and water assistance. The lack of rainfall before and during the growing season (November to January) has led to partial and total loss of harvest in all rain -fed agricultural land in neighboring Jawzjan province. This resulted in a reduction of 71% less than 2010 harvests in Northern provinces. The MAIL and FAO Agricultural Prospect Report estimates that this year’s production will be approximately 3.256 million metric tons of wheat, 28 percent less than 2010, an average year against national cereal requirements of about 6 million metric tons. This year’s deficit in national cereal requirements is expected to be approximately 2 million tons and most of the shortfall is experienced in the rain -fed areas in northern Afghanistan. The private sector, through imports is likely to meet most of this deficit.

Since most farmers in the Northern parts of Afghanistan depend on rain -fed agriculture and on-farm labour for income, the current situation has resulted in a double tragedy and urgent efforts should be made to meet the grain deficit created by poor harvest. Shortage of rain has affected families’ ability to produce food as well as to earn income from on-farm labour. A combination of reduced labour wages of between 40% and 50% and increase in wheat price in the face of poor harvest will affect the ability of households to meet basic needs.

The pre-2011 drought assessment conducted by Tearfund covering the 3 districts of Andkhoy, Qaramkul and Qarghan in Faryab province, TF found out the following: o The average duration for food stocks in the villages ranges from 1.3 to 1.4 weeks o 75% of the villages agree that crisis negatively affects livelihood o Crisis causes increase in food price (68%) o Crisis causes disruption/depletion in food stocks (50%) o Selling assets is the most preferred coping mechanism during disasters (83%) with migration (53%) taking the next rank o Most affected livelihoods are: agriculture, (73%), husbandry , 58%), and labour wage, (33%) o Most common and serious hazards are: drought,(55%), agriculture pest and diseases,(55%) o The most common disasters (drought) are the recurrent ones (90%) o Water reservoirs (50%) and agricultural lands (60%) are most affected o Assets (45%) are affected because they are located in risk areas o Assets (45%) that are not affected by disasters are the ones located in safe areas o 88% of the villages do not have evacuation place identified

Page 141 of 432. o Disabled persons are the most affected , 55% o IDPs/returnees make the largest proportion , 60% o Lack of disaster risk reduction knowledge (80%) followed by lack of education (73%) are the major reasons why some people are more affected o People are most affected from loss of harvest , 80% o Around 12,015 families have been affected during the last severe disaster leading large number of families (40%) to migrate or internally displaced o Most villages (85%) use surface water for domestic consumption use. And another large proportion (38%) depend on unprotected open well

Selection criteria based on WFP VAM Criteria: Families falling into very high-risk food-security profile: • Having very poor food consumption • Spend more than 50% of their income on food • Purchase more than 50% of their food in bazaars

Additionally, the following selection criteria is developed and undertaken in a participatory manner that takes into account the communities own understanding and set of criteria for households (HH) • Landless HH who didn’t have income from working as share-croppers • HH with rain-fed lands of up to four jeribs • HH whose members are not included in any other interventions in the area. • No able bodied male households, widows and people with disabilities.

The selection methodology involves participatory discussions between TF staff, CDC representatives, local professionals in the area and local authorities. The selection will be undertaken by this community selection group and a sample of the identified households will be cross-checked by TF staff to ensure that they meet the selection criteria.

Page 142 of 432. Project selection criteria will follow the following principles: • Be highly labour intensive, thereby targeting the largest number of unskilled workers • Ensures the largest possible involvement of the most vulnerable people • Ensure quick cash injection through fast implementation • Ensure women managed and/or headed household without able-bodied male members are not excluded from assistance • Achieving lasting benefit for the communities • Conform to established national regulations, including building standards • Avoid causing disruption to established and efficient market structures Outcomes

1. By the end of the project, 3,125 beneficiary households in Faryab province, in the districts of Andkhoy, Qaramkool, Qarghan and Khancharbagh participating in CFW (water point rehabilitation, road rehabilitation, canal cleaning, etc.) activities have received enough cash to meet 50% food and water basket for 6 months.

When people have enough cash to buy food, the food insecurity will be reduced, nutrition will improve, displacement will be prevented, selling of remaining assets such as animals will be reduced as well.

2. By the end of the project, 2,343 beneficiary households of the total 3,125 households in the same targeted districts in Faryab province are aware of the threats to health by water borne pathogens in times of drought.

Improved awareness on the threats to health by water borne pathogens in times of drought will result in the reduction of use of unsafe contaminated surface water, thereby reducing the incidence of water borne illnesses such as cholera and loose watery diarrhea.

3. In order to address the needs of the most vulnerable households, the consortia has decided on a redistribution mechanism to support female-headed households, widows, and the disabled who cannot provide man-power for CfW activities.

Enhanced Northern - Jawzjan Geographical Fields Needs

Emergency Food Security Assessment (August 29 2011) has indicated that 112,500 (22.3% of the population) people are severely affected by the drought in Jawzjan province in regards to food security. Tearfund’s assessments in August 2011 in Mingajik, Murdian, Khanaqa and Aqcha districts shows that 21% of livestock have died. Some 39% of the surveyed population have been forced to sell their animals in order to buy food . Jawzjan as a whole has seen 13% of goats/sheep sold and 13% have died because of the drought; a loss of 26% . Considering the drought is ongoing, this percentage will invariably increase. Jawzjan has seen a 49% decrease in goat prices from July 2011 to July 2010; furthermore, this has led to a 75% decrease in the purchasing power of wheat because of increasing wheat prices. The lack of rainfall before and during the growing season (November to January) has led to partial and total loss of harvest in all rain -fed agricultural land in Jawzjan province; the losses of 79% and 85% for irrigated and rain-fed wheat compared to 2010 are staggering. This resulted in a reduction of 49.2% in grain production as compared to the average 2002 - 2010 harvests in the Northern provinces. The MAIL and FAO Agricultural Prospect Report estimates that this year ’s production will be approximately 28% less than 2010’s, against national cereal requirements of about six million metric tons. While other projects aim to meet the emergency food and water basket needs, this project aims to restock small-scale farmers and herders in order to cope with massive crop and livestock loss.

Since most farmers in the Northern parts of Afghanistan depend on rain -fed agriculture and on-farm labor for income, the current situation has resulted in a double shocks. A shortage of rain has affected families’ ability to produce food as well as to earn income from on-farm labor. Jawzjan, a province of 504,300 people, is a predominantly rural province whose economic mainstay is agriculture. In normal years, people in this province meet their wheat and vegetable needs.

Action Aid Afghanistan, Tearfund, Save the Children and ZOA carried out assessments in Khoja Doko, Murdian, Mingajik, Khanaqa, Aqcha, and Sheberghan districts in Jawzjan province in coordination with UNOCHA, MAIL, and the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC), with the intention of understanding how households were affected by drought; this data supplements or elaborates upon the data in EFSA. The following common issues were observed; • Most people, whether women, men and children (65%-70%), are getting water from unsafe sources increasing the risk of contracting diseases. • The price of wheat on the market has increased significantly, by about 80% in the last three months. • Over 50% of the farmers, especially small farmers are now spending more of their income on food than they did in the same period last year. • 65% of all livestock have been sold due to lack of pastures for livestock • The population most affected in Jawzjan province consists mainly of the landless; those who cultivate dry land less than two acres and households headed by women including widows, elderly men and persons with disabilities. These categories of people depend largely on on-farm labour to earn income.

Page 145 of 432. • As a coping mechanism, 70% of the interviewed households that included women, men and children participating in the focus group discussions mentioned they have started reducing the quantity and quality of daily food intake from three to two meals per day while others have started disposing of their productive assets to meet demand for food at household level and migrate to urban areas or to neighboring countries. The project will cover the four districts of Jawzjan, Mingajik, Khanaqa, Murdian and Khwaja Dukoh, the most food insecure districts of Jawzjan based on the EFSA Survey 2011. Activities

1. Distribution of Vegetable garden vouchers (worth 600 grams, 100 grams per kind of vegetables) The drought brought additional havoc as farmers were not able to collect planting seeds for next year ’s planting. The standard practice is for farmers to collect the end of the harvest fruits /produce for seed collection purposes. Thus, with near 100% failure of the harvest there is also no seed available for future planting. Families, especially the women who plant and maintain the garden in the traditional northern cultural practices, will be given vegetable garden seeds to complement the distribution of wheat seeds by FAO and MAIL to selected beneficiaries affected by drought. Vegetable garden seeds are a commonly used good source of food and can also be a cash crop, that is, excess vegetables harvested can be sold in the market to supplement farmers’ income. Currently the market is flooded with seeds that did not receive any certification from MAIL, thus the seeds are tampered and there is no assurance that the seeds purchased by the famers will be viable and germinate . Tearfund will ensure delivery is completed through seed vouchers, using reputable suppliers selected and chosen following TF procurement policy. Tearfund has the capacity to ensure that the supplier provide certified seeds. Each household will receive 600 grams of vegetable seeds (100 grams per kind of vegetable).

2. Agricultural trainings (3 training days per group/village x 4 quarters in a year) done separately for cultural reasons, for all beneficiaries, women and men including the children will be a component of the vegetable garden vouchers through Tearfund female and male community facilitators. This will give the knowledge necessary for effective and efficient small agricultural practices. Soil and water conservation (e.g. using waste water for gardening) will be mainstreamed so that the women and men beneficiaries will gain understanding on coping strategies during droughts.

Livestock failure

3. Livestock restocking vouchers for goats and layer chickens Goats give milk that farmers and families can drink at home, as well as excess milk that can be sold. This results in improved nutrition as well as additional cash. Animals such as goats and sheep are said to be the farmer’s bank, which allows them to cope with the external shocks such including the current drought. Each beneficiary household will receive goat vouchers worth 190 USD for two (2) goats and 4 chicken layers that lay eggs. Chicken eggs are common and are the cheapest source of protein. Farmers eat the eggs and when there are excess, they can also sell the eggs to the market providing an additional immediate cash source . Chickens are often eaten or sold immediately during an emergency such as droughts because of its low value; it would therefore be easy to sell. Outcomes

1. 4,239 households (households refer to a married couple with children, a male-headed household, a female-headed household, or a sole member; beneficiaries will be chosen based on need and, in the case of women beneficiaries, female employees will work with them) receive vegetable seeds and training.

2. 4,239 households will receive vouchers worth 2 goats and chicken vouchers worth 4 chickens and training. Tearfund has female employees to work with women beneficiaries.

The project will impact food stability until and beyond harvest in 2012 for 25,434 beneficiaries.

Enhanced Central Highland - Bamyan Geographical Fields Needs

The Central Highlands of Afghanistan suffered from prolonged drought in late 2010 and early 2011. Reduced snow coverage damaged winter crops, while low rainfall during the planting season and into the summer has had a critical impact on the rain - fed wheat crop. This has lead to a severe decrease in wheat production . MAIL has estimated that across the Central Region rain - fed wheat yield has been reduced by 70%, while in the high altitude areas in Saighan and Shibar districts the severity of the drought has wiped out the whole wheat crop. The results from the Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) conducted on August 2011 by SHRDO in those districts shows that more than 85% of small farmers farming only rain - fed wheat have suffered a total lose of harvest. As a result, total rain - fed wheat production in Saighan and Shibar is estimated to be close to zero, which has contributed to an overall wheat deficit in Bamyan province alone.

Main problem: Loss of harvest in rain - fed areas The targeted districts of Saighan and Shibar have been particularly affected. This district is dominated by rain - fed agricultural land, which makes up 84% of all agricultural land. Excluding the district centres and other sub clusters in the lower lying areas, SHRDO assessments focusing on the most affected highland areas show that in these remote areas at high altitude, 95% of agricultural land is exclusively rain - fed. The majority of the population has therefore suffered a near total loss of harvest and therefore a large loss of income.

Loss of income from traditional coping mechanisms Traditionally farmers sell their livestock as a coping strategy. As a result of the drought and the consequent failure in the crop, poor conditions of pastures and the shortage of fodder, families are unable to maintain their livestock. When coupled with families need for extra income, many families are selling their livestock . However, with the widespread drought the price of livestock has plummeted, with all livestock selling for between 30 and 60% less than before, and some in some clusters the EFSA has shown prices of some livestock falling by as much as 88%.

Bamyan province is one of the poorest provinces in the country and this year poor households’ vulnerability has

Page 148 of 432. been aggravated by a drought. The shortage of water experienced in the 2010/2011 agricultural season, the lack of spring precipitation, late and rapid snow melts have resulted in considerable harvest reduction as well as harvest total loss. Consequently, a food crisis is likely to occur, which will affect a great number of people . The international community has acknowledged this drought and called for emergency response activities in 14 provinces (Bamyan included).

Rising price of food basket: In addition to the lack of income, the drought across the whole region has pushed up the price of a minimum food basket to levels much higher than in non drought years. Assessments of market prices across Saighan and Shiber have shown that the price of basic staple food items has increased between 40 and 100%, including a 90 to 100% increase in the price per kilogram of wheat. This has further reduced household purchasing power at a time when they are dependent on purchasing food to meet their basic food security requirements. Loss of ability to maintain livelihoods As a result of the failure of the harvest, households will lose their assets and thereby their ability to maintain their livelihoods. This includes the seed that was planted but failed, as well as their livestock which they are being forced to sell despite the significantly reduced prices. This will compound the severe effects of the drought already being felt. The most affected households are therefore in need of assistance in order to regain their livelihoods through the provision of seed in order to plant a new crop in the spring, as well as through the provision of animal feed. Activities

The main expected result is that 2,100 drought - affected households improve their food security and nutritional levels.

The type of food assistance mechanism put in place in this response will be cash transfers through cash - for - Work (CFW) activities. Beneficiaries will receive enough cash to cover a lean period of six months (from parts of the fall through the winter months). The monetary value of this assistance will cover 50% of households’ food and nutritional needs.

Activities will be implemented in twofold:

1. Cash for work, which will allow families to meet their basic food needs to cover the hunger gap, and will benefit the community through the rehabilitation or construction of local infrastructure. Identification of the types of works to be undertaken in the communities will be done through a locally established beneficiary committee comprised of five selected community members (2 women and 3 men per each beneficiary committee) with the support of the Community Development Councils (CDCs), Department of ministry of women affairs (MoW), Department of Reconstruction and Rural Development (DRRD) and local leaders including female and male, A list of various construction projects will be published to observe the gender equality in community as cash for 630 women household against training for benefit of vegetables, distribution vegetable seeds and home gardening tools to improve home gardening and invite to vote for their first choice projects. There will be two sessions to this activity; one before winter and one after winter.

2. Direct Cash Transfers, which will benefit the most vulnerable group of the targeted population, which are the people who do not have the capacity to participate in CFW activities. These are usually female /widow headed households, elderly, sick and disabled members of the communities. This group accounts for approximately 10 -15 % of the total number of beneficiaries.

Activities to meet Objective 2:

2.1. Distribution of seed packages to the most vulnerable households who are unable to purchase seed for replanting. Predominantly wheat seed will be distributed. Each package will consist of 50kg of certified seed. The seed package distribution will take place in accordance with the national MAIL regulations and will be coordinated with FAO and other stakeholders in the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster in order to avoid duplication and No Objection Letter will be obtained from MAIL . As the majority of farmers are cultivating in rain fed land there will be no distribution of fertilisers as stipulated in the national MAIL regulations. ( 2100 households).

2.2. Training of improved agricultural practices, water and soil management, as well as on alternative cropping strategies will be provided to all seed distribution beneficiaries covering over 100 communities. The training

Page 149 of 432. content and methodology with similar training as required and approved by MoA in high land rain-fed areas.

2.3. Distribution of animal feed and fodder to most vulnerable households at risk of over selling livestock as a destructive coping mechanism. The animal feed and fodder distribution will take place in accordance with national MAIL regulations and will be coordinated with FAO and other stakeholders in the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster in order to avoid duplication. The animal feed and fodder distributions will allocate the amount for each household based on MAIL and FAO guidelines. In addition to animal feed, healthcare services for livestock will be provided.

Monitoring and Evaluation In addition to the systematic monitoring the following surveys will be conducted:

(1) A Baseline Survey at project inception (2) Post Distribution Monitoring survey to evaluate the process of distribution and the use of the items provided (3) An impact survey to assess the effects of the intervention at household level comparing data with those collected at the time of the baseline. Outcomes

1. The most vulnerable households that are acutely affected by the drought in rain - fed areas will be able to meet their basic food security needs to bridge the hunger gap following the failed harvest.

2. Highly vulnerable households without - able bodies males and female such as female headed households, the elderly, and the disabled will be able to meet their basic food security needs to bridge the hunger gap following the failed harvest.

3. Most affected households will receive quality seed wheat and the necessary training, thereby ensuring their food security for next year and improving self sufficiency.

4. Improved coping capacity of most affected households with livestock based livelihoods, thereby reducing the pressure to engage in destructive coping strategies such as mass sale of livestock and other assets. 5. 100% of the 2,100 targeted households do not employ negative coping strategies during the 2011 hunger gap;

6. 1,890 households with working capacities are reached through cash for work activities and receive 300 Afg per day for 42 days of work (8,400 Afg per household) to mitigate hunger gap; 7. 210 households with no working capacities are reached through direct cash transfer and receive 70 Afg per day for 120 days (8,400 Afg per household) to mitigate winter hunger gap;

8. 100 % of the 2,100 targeted households have secured sufficient cash to cover 50 % of their theoretical food requirements for 180 days to mitigate the hunger gap.

Enhanced North Eastern - Badakhshan Geographical Fields Needs

The north of Afghanistan has been affected by drought conditions during 2011. It is expected that the ‘normal’ food gap of 3 4 months will double, lasting 6 8 months in 2012. Households dependent on rain-fed crops and on farm labour as a primary source of food and income will need assistance. The onset of winter and the associated loss of access to markets will make isolated rural communities especially vulnerable. Most villagers surveyed this year in Badakhshan expect losses in their major agriculture livelihoods to reach 50%. Five districts (Raghistan, Kohistan, Yawan, Yaftal e Payan and Kishm) show that more than 90% of households expect more than 50% reduced wheat harvest. At the time of survey, drought was expected by the farmers to be the main cause of yield reduction. Pests and diseases are also expected to contribute significantly to the yield loss.

In addition to grain crop losses, poor forage production will lead to livestock impacts, and sale of livestock at reduced prices over winter 2011/12. The livestock conditions across all districts surveyed were worrying, with the expected impact on the pasture conditions. Livestock can be seen as the bank account of the household and is one of the first assets to be sold as coping mechanism against a crisis. 85% of the respondents regarded the fodder situation as bad and mention the need to either move or reduce herd size or purchase fodder. The availability of casual employment to the non land owning population will also be impacted. One of the indicators of a good average yield is that farmers are willing to pay a normal wage. In June, wages were already under significant pressure, being around 20% less than this time last year and the ‘normal’ average daily labour wage. The hunger gap will be hardest in spring after a long winter with little food or money, and as villagers begin planting for 2012 but are still months away from harvest.

In the targeted districts a nutrition survey was conducted in July 2011. The results of this survey showed acute malnutrition rates of 30.1% in children under 5, and 70% of pregnant and lactating women have a MUAC of less than 23.0 cm. These emergency level malnutrition rates were recorded before the drought of 2011 had impacted this area and it shows the extreme vulnerability of these three districts .Many households have fallen back on their traditional coping mechanisms to deal with the natural disasters which have affected them in the last decade. These include the sale of animals to buy food and fodder; the sale of agriculture assets; borrowing money or food from wealthier families; sending their sons to serve in the national army, as migrant workers to towns or abroad to benefit from remittances and, ultimately, marrying off their very young daughters for the dowry

As a result, vulnerable households have fewer and fewer assets to sell or trade for food, further reducing the quantity and quality of food as fewer agriculture inputs remain available to cultivate the available land. A vicious cycle of increased debt ensues with few means to alleviate it. Vulnerable families (including female-headed households or households headed by a disabled person) and women and children are the first ones to feel the consequences of food insecurity that will be faced by many this coming spring

Gender: Due to the very conservative nature of this area, it is not possible to target women for the CFW activities . Medair will continue to look at opportunities to include women through cash for training or other activities.

Page 152 of 432. However the Cash injected in the area will benefit whole families including women and children. For female-headed households or households with a disabled head, there will be the direct cash payment to ensure they benefit as much from the activities as any other group. Activities

Beneficiaries will be selected based on a HH survey that will show the most drought affected and most vunerable communities and HH within those communities. The CDCs will be involved in the final selection to ensure community participation and acceptance.

Cash for Work: To meet the increased food gap of the affected households, Medair will provide CFW for 450 families. A minimum of 40 days equalling 10,000 AFA will be paid, which will cover three months of food needs for a family with seven members. The 10,000 AFA is based on an calculation of harvest loss, family size and food costs . Also, 25 households that do not have an able bodied person or are extremely vulnerable will be identified and selected to receive 10,000 AFA in cash to meet their food gap.

The structures that are built under this result support the recovery of the communities through restoring agricultural assets like irrigation channels and irrigation ponds or are disaster mitigation structures like small gabion dams in flood paths and streams to reduce the impact from future flooding or stabilizing parts of essential access roads.

Disaster Risk Reduction in this region and context should focus on reducing the impact of land erosion and droughts. Cash for work beneficiaries (farmers) that show interest will be selected from the affected communities to participate in land management training for 10 days, during spring/summer 2012 and receive cash for training. . Farm demonstration plots will be established to show different techniques like slope stabilisation, gulley and soil erosion prevention, intercropping and tree /shrub/grass strip planting. Grazing management and other land management principles will be taught with a focus on reducing the impact of future disasters on the main asset people have for their livelihoods.

Seed and fertiliser availability: Quality wheat seed and fertiliser will be made available to beneficiaries, according to MAIL policy and guidelines and the distribution will be coordinated with MAIL and FAO to avoid duplication, using a mechanism to not undermine the local traders, e.g. through the use of vouchers.

This will ensure that people receiving Cash for Work have the option to spend their income on farm inputs, and also make these inputs available to those who are not direct beneficiaries of CFW. Outcomes

• 100% of targeted households provided with income to cover the extra three months hunger gap • 25 (5%) households headed by a female and/or without able bodied family members received a cash distribution • 75% of targeted beneficiaries have improved understanding of soil and crop management • 75% of farmers can mention two land-management DRR techniques at project completion. • 75% of training recipients purchase agricultural inputs through their local bazaars in spring 2012 • 80% of cash for work beneficiaries will stop relying on negative coping mechanisms.

Enhanced Central Highland - Bamyan Geographical Fields Needs

The drought of 2011 actually began in late 2010 when a lack of snow in December as is normal for communities above 2500 meters did not arrive. Even with late snow in March, the snow melted quickly and let to surface runoff as opposed to recharging the aquifers. A lack of precipitation continued through the spring months. FEWS net report that Bamyan has received only about 70% of the average amount for each of the past two years leaving a deficit of 1.75 meters. Not only the amount of precipitation but also the timing of snow and rain has been strong effects on the regional climate. The lack of precipitation has also combined with higher than average temperatures in the region as, “[From June through early August] Central and eastern parts of Afghanistan experienced the largest positive temperatures anomalies (8 degrees C or more) that have lead to exceptional dryness in the region. Climate Prediction Center ’s Afghanistan Hazards Outlook, USAID / FEWS NET, August 17 23, 2011 & July 20 26, 201

In June a ‘Dryness Survey’ was carried out by Solidarites International across all of Bamyan Province with Medair in support for the southern districts. This was part of a larger regional survey covering more than 7 provinces across the north and central regions. From the provincial survey and data from an ongoing project several observations and conclusions can be made:

-In a normal year the average harvest is 129 ser (903 kg) of wheat, but the expected harvest for 2011 is 40 ser of wheat per family. This is a loss of 69%. 2010 also saw a reduced harvest of only 51 ser from disease and flooding. -Potato and fodder harvests are also expected to have losses of more than 75%. -Between 2010 and 2009, the percentage of food in the household expenditures increased from 73 to 92 %. This is expected to also rise because food prices have risen by 34% compared to last year. -73% of the current population is calculated as ‘poor’ or ‘borderline’ food insecure using WFP food consumption scoring. -Coping mechanisms are becoming exhausted.

Specifically from the Dryness Impact Survey Report by Solidarites, It is clear drought is seen as a major risk for this year’s wheat production across the districts visited. Although all the districts see drought as already having or probably having an effect on wheat production, respondents in Panjab and Waras seem to be more worried about the effect of this single event. The weight of the risk of drought having a negative impact in Panjab is especially striking. In Panjab, 73% foresee losses exceeding 50%. Estimation of wheat loss in Waras also looks very bleak with 62% of villagers foresee losses exceeding 50%.

The communities of the Central Highlands are among the most vulnerable in all of Afghanistan. The high altitude villages are nearly completely reliant on subsistence farming to survive; when in actuality, no one produces enough food for their own family. During normal or good seasons farmers can only produce enough food to meet 40% of their family food needs.

Page 155 of 432. Two straight years of poor harvest greatly increases the potential for malnutrition in the region which will firstly affect pregnant and lactating women (PLW) and children. The rural population is not capable of supporting their own families normally. Addressing the food insecurity immediately is imperative to meet the current needs of the communities.

Unfortunately at the time of writing, harvest had just finished in the many areas of Panjob and Waras. As these areas are between 2600 and 3200 meters in elevation, the harvest is much later and did not finish until the end of September in some areas so a post harvest assessment has not been done. So far no funding was obtained to address the situation and with the onset of winter expected to be soon it will not be possible to address the needs of these populations before winter. Activities

Training will be given to communities on fundamental farming practices and DRR measures to preserve and maintain the land. The training will be part of a Cash for Training portion that quickly inserts money into the communities.

Following the training, communities will assign potential work projects to better sustain their villages through a CFW program. The selection of beneficiaries will be done in cooperation with the CDCs and local shuras. The focus of these structures will be designed with DRR mitigation in mind as well as water management objectives. This will help to reduce the effects of future droughts and create a more resilient community.

Women will have a specific opportunity to weave gabion cages from their homes and also receive CFW money directly. Medair has done operated similar activities in the region and women earning money is acceptable in this part of Afghanistan. Women directly earning money for their families has been very successful in previous projects as it gives positive self worth to the women and further discussion points on how to best utilize household money. Outcomes

- 2500 households benefit from work on the CFW projects and receive sufficient cash that will cover the increased hunger gap caused by the drought in 2011. - 10% of cash will be distributed directly to women - Food consumption scoring (food security) will improve - Rural coping mechanisms will stabilize and recover

Enhanced Northern - Faryab Geographical Fields Needs

Faryab Province faces serious water shortage problems due to the fact that it is largely fed by rivers, Karezez and springs. It has four seasonal rivers i.e. Maimana, Gurziwan, Almar and Qaysar, which are the main sources of irrigation for famers. The biggest river Gurziwan passes through districts of Khawaja Sabz Posh, Shireen Tagab, Daulatabad, Belchargh and Andkhoy. The Gurziwan River is fed by 35 springs and has 35 big canals for irrigation and water flow in the river for four months (March-July) and then it is dries up. After this the people depend on rainwater or snow for agricultural purposes. When rain does come, the terrain of the areas means that it is also subjected to frequent flash flooding, which causes further destruction to crops. These factors contribute to livelihoods vulnerability in a province where 85% of the population depends on agriculture for their primary livelihood. The drought in 2011, has confronted the community with food insecurity because of significantly lower levels of rain fed crop harvests that has resulted in a reduction of seed stocks for the coming year and related to this those with livestock are starting to sell off livestock they cannot afford to keep. According to the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster’s Emergency Food Security Assessment (conducted in September 2011 with technical support from WFP), Faryab is one of the most affected provinces by the drought with over 29% of farming households reporting crop losses. To overcome, above-mentioned problems resulting from the recent drought, and reduce further vulnerability of affected farming households in the coming season the following measures are recommended • Provision of livestock support services Provision of inputs to vulnerable families who are selling livestock as a coping strategy due to drought.Seed support to improve wheat and vegetable seeds due to drought the farmers did not sow in current year.Increase affected farmers’ capacity for production and market access.

COAR was initially involved in cross-border, emergency relief activities aimed at providing services to the Afghan refugees in Pakistan. Since then, the organization has evolved into one of the biggest national NGOs in the country, implementing both humanitarian and development projects. Currently, COAR focuses on Rural Development, Disaster Management, and Research, Evaluation, and Monitoring. Since COAR ’s establishment, the organization has implemented more than 400 small and large projects in different sectors in more than 22 provinces of Afghanistan. Activities

• Procurement of 600 MT wheat straw and 300 MT concentrate animal food and distributing to 1000 animal owners. • Vaccination of 150,000 animals of 3000 families through a vacciantion campaign in Ankhoy districts. • Provision and distribution of improved wheat seeds and fertilizers and technical support to 600 male and female farmers. • Provision of vegetables seeds and training in kitchen gardening to 100 women headed households

The most devastating of Afghanistan’s regularly occurring large-scale natural disasters is drought. Since 2000, the country has experienced six droughts large enough to have locally reduced agricultural production, increased food insecurity and further eroded and delayed the development of sustainable and diversified livelihood systems.

The failure of the rain fed wheat crop prevented farmers from saving seeds to plant in the 2011/2012 season. 60% of households in drought-affected areas are reported not to have the financial resources to purchase wheat seed for the 2011/12 season (EFSA, August 2011).

The number of agriculture labour days available in the drought-affected areas has significantly lessened because of reductions in the surface, yield and the number of crops cultivated and harvested. Most rural households rely on some form of agriculture labour as one of the diversified means through which cash is generated for household requirements. The loss of agriculture work opportunities has been compensated by migration to provincial centres and abroad (EFSA, Aug 2011 ). However, the remittance return on this form of migration is not well understood, and is expected to be lower than remittance levels in other years.

Other areas of the country are witnessing a deterioration of the food security due to a combination of insecurity, economic downturn and negative climatic events.

Close monitoring of the food security is requested during and after the winter to define appropriate interventions (type of assistance, timing, phasing out) and provide a baseline. A livelihood -based approach will allow for substantive-, coordinated-, evidence-based programming of early recovery interventions. The livelihood based assessment will look further into resilience, assets, indebtedness, coping mechanisms and markets. There is also a need to understand better the different needs and vulnerabilities within the households and the communities, by gender and other sociological categories. EFSA (August 2011) noted that families with one or more members having disabilities or a higher proportion of elderly persons were especially vulnerable. It was reported that civil servants, whose salaries were not raised over a long period of time, were in a precarious situation. The DLA will be designed, in such a way, that it can easily be integrated into a prototype Integrated Phase Classification (IPC), which is being developed in 2011–12. It will provide a solid building block for Response Options Analysis through the FSAC during 2012.

Page 160 of 432. The partners of the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster offer a unique pool of technical capacity and presence on the ground, and to build on this capacity, detailed Livelihood Assessment will be carried out.

In similar contexts (including a recently conducted flood recovery assessment in Pakistan ), this approach has proved to be cost and time effective, with the potential to build longer term capacity in both local and international organizations. The assessment will provide the Government, donors and the humanitarian community with a geographically consistent and in depth understanding of the longer term impact of 2011 events on farm and non-farm livelihoods and on the access to food and income of rural households. This will support a better designed humanitarian programme.

The assessment tools will include one or more of the following: Household Questionnaires, Focus Groups Discussions and subject-specific case studies. Activities

Inception / preparatory stage: Information sharing and planning sessions with the members of the FSAC for the definition of target areas, type of statistical significance required and sample size, with a special emphasis on gender desegregation; Definition of target areas and geographical distribution of partners for data collection through rapid livelihood zoning activities; Tendering of private consultancy services for data collection, data cleaning, data entry, data analysis and report writing; Definition and formalization of engagement modalities with partner organizations. Implementation stage: Preparation / finalization of questionnaires and checklists; Assembling of teams for data collection; Training of survey teams on data collection; Collection of primary data; Data cleaning and data analysis; Rendition of survey results at regional and district level; use of survey data for regional and district programming purposes; Drafting, finalization and dissemination of report. Outcomes

Availability of a comprehensive, relevant and gender disaggregated assessment data and data analysis of the impact of 2011 on rural livelihoods, including: key livelihoods groups affected by the drought, drought impact on local livelihoods, coping mechanisms and livelihood strategies, opportunities and capacities for livelihood recovery within the local economy, types of activities needed for livelihood recovery of the different people, households and communities. Understanding linkages between food production and access, remittance, debt, land tenure issues and rent seeking behaviours will be looked into. Other than disaggregation by gender, the assessment will look at the disaster impact on elderly or disabled (EFSA, August 2011). Improved planning of humanitarian and early recovery assistance in support of the food security and nutrition of poor, food insecure and vulnerable crisis-affected populations in Afghanistan. The proposed project would be designed and implemented in synergy with the ongoing roll out of the IPC in Afghanistan, the Response Analysis Framework analysis, and any other assessment developed by FSAC or inter-Cluster. Improved partnerships among a committed and mobilized group of stakeholders for the development and implementation of coordinated assessments for agriculture and food security.

Vulnerable populations in the selected villages of Jawzjan and Faryab especially the returnees face similar challenges: little or no land for farming, poor irrigation, few income generating opportunities, poor access to basic services such as healthcare, education, sanitation and clean water and vulnerability to disasters, and especially flood and drought. Returnees face all of the same problems as other residents, along with the added problems of integration into a host population that may resent their presence and use of community resources.

Specifically, livelihood needs to be met to improve reintegration of the women and men returnees into Jawzjan and Faryab provinces. Both women and men will receive the same training and benefits. This is intentional and not an afterthought. However, due to the sensitive nature of the women in Afghanistan, women will receive training in the WASH and livelihood aspects separate to those of men. Tearfund (TF) female employees including a female supervisor are employed to engage with women. Children are not directly part of the project, but receive intentional direct benefits to meet their WASH and nutrition needs.

In December 2010, Tearfund conducted an assessment in three districts in Faryab and five districts in Jawzjan and noted the following: o The average duration for food stocks in the villages ranges from 1.3 to 1.4 weeks o 75% of the villages agree that crisis negatively affects livelihood o Crisis causes increase in food price (68%) o Crisis causes disruption/depletion in food stocks (50%) o Selling assets is the most preferred coping mechanism during disasters (83%) with migration (53%) taking the next rank o Most affected livelihoods are: agriculture, (73%), husbandry , 58%), and labour wage, (33%) o Most common and serious hazards are: drought,(55%), agriculture pest and diseases,(55%) o The most common disasters (drought) are the recurrent ones (90%) o Water reservoirs (50%) and agricultural lands (60%) are most affected o Assets (45%) are affected because they are located in risk areas o Assets (45%) that are not affected by disasters are the ones located in safe areas o 88% of the villages do not have evacuation place identified Activities

Enhanced Northern - Samangan Geographical Fields Northern - Sari Pul Northern - Balkh Northern - Jawzjan Northern - Faryab Needs

Afghanistan is one of the world’s poorest countries, an estimated 36% of the population live below the poverty line, while an additional 37% are situated only slightly above it. In addition, the country is prone to various natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, winterisation, and drought. The country is currently experiencing a severe drought affecting some 2.86m people, due to a lack of rain, prolonged winter and an estimated two million MT cereal production deficit in 2010/11. The drought is expected to continue until harvest 2012, meanwhile an additional 4.2m people are chronically food insecure but not affected by the drought. This indicates that, not only will drought-affected communities need further food security support during 2012, but that other populations not affected by the drought are still in desperate need of food assistance. In Balkh alone, 668,000 people are food insecure due to the drought, and in Jawzjan 112,000 people (FSAC, 2011). SC will, therefore, target two districts in Jawzjan Province (Khanaqa and Murdiyan) and two districts in Balkh Province (Khulm and Kishindeh). SC has been working in these locations for a number of years and is experienced in responding to emergencies. A loss of pasture, reduction in rain fed wheat crop, a significant reduction in labour opportunities and a rise in wheat prices means particularly vulnerable families are using negative coping mechanisms to deal with their current situation. This will leave many families even more vulnerable if the drought period is extended, when future natural hazards strike and likely increase their food insecurity throughout 2012 unless sustainable coping mechanisms are restored and current needs met. Other actors are already providing assistance but the current situation means these efforts are still insufficient to meet the needs of households (HHs). SC, therefore, intends to respond to the needs present in Northern Provinces by providing life saving support to 25,200 individuals through community-level Cash for Work (CfW) or Food for Work (FfW) projects and direct cash grants to the most vulnerable HHs. HHs with limited or no economic means are in need of financial support, while the markets in the target areas are functioning and adequate quantities of food are available. CfW, FfW and cash grants will provide three fold benefits: a) life saving cash or food support to vulnerable households, b ) support to local markets during time of low economic activity, and c) sustainable development of community assets enabling communities to be more resilient to future environmental impacts, including building technical skills of women and diversifying livelihoods. Hence this approach will result in HHs’ survival, economic sustainability of markets, community/infrastructure development and resilience, and will lead to stimulation of local economies by implementing activities through functional local markets. In Balkh, Keshindeh District especially, the winter conditions pose severe challenges to already vulnerable populations. Roads are often damaged by flooding, and snow also blocks the roads to some villages in the district. Therefore the small scale mitigation projects carried out by CfW groups will also target rebuilding roads

Page 166 of 432. and clearing snow from roads as appropriate in the winter months. Special consideration has been given to women. For example, women who, due to cultural sensitivities, cannot participate in community or public activities, will be involved in home -based projects such as making blankets and quilts for current disaster-affected families, and for use in future. Gender considerations will also be applied to the method of distribution of assistance; women unable to access markets easily due to cultural constraints will receive direct food assistance for work, and for women who cannot participate in the work projects, such as FHHs, will receive direct cash, or food assistance. Activities

1. Recruit gender-balanced project team, as far as is possible, and train on the project ’s goal, objectives and activities, addressing any initial gaps in capacity 2. Needs analysis on which method of food security support is most appropriate for certain households in project locations (CfW, FfW, or direct cash grants) (Objective 1) 3. Identification and orientation of 120 CDCs and approximately 2,400 community members (20 for each CDC) for project activities (covering two districts in each of the two provinces). The group of community members identified in addition to CDC members will represent different sections of the community – the project team will seek to have women, the elderly, IDPs and other groups represented, particularly where the CDC does not have representation of these groups. 4. Seek nominations for infrastructure, asset improvement, income generation and risk mitigation activities from 120 CDCs and finalise 600 projects for priority needs identified by CDCs and identified community members. (Objective 2) 5. In partnership with the community representatives, CDCs, local authorities and other stakeholders, identify 5,000 HHs whose family members who will work for cash and create 250 work groups and train 5,000 group members for identified community-related projects (Objective 1) 6. Out of these 5,000 HHs, in partnership with the above mentioned stakeholders, identify 1,000 of the most vulnerable HHs (e.g. female headed HHs, disabled, elderly, IDPs) unable to work on manual labour to participate in alternative cash or food for work or receive direct cash grants (Objective 1). 7. Those unable to work on manual labour projects, will make supplies that can be used in the event of future emergencies, such as blankets, quilts and basic tents as identified by the CDCs and community representatives. (Objective 2) 8. Hold 36 project progress review meetings and provide technical advice for each project – biweekly for nine months 9. Distribute CfW or cash grants valuing $2,700,000 for six months (given bi weekly or bi monthly, as appropriate) equating to $90 per month for each participant which will cover 66% of the household’s food basket each month. (Objective 1) 10. Implement 600 small scale community based projects through CfW groups that will improve community assets and improve resilience to, and mitigate the risks of, future disasters. (Objective 2) 11. Train 1000 women across the four districts, and vulnerable individuals, on health, food nutrition, better hygiene practices and basic disaster mitigation techniques through community mobilisers and project staff led training sessions (Objective 2). 12.

Enhanced Northern - Samangan Geographical Fields Needs

The food security of the vulnerable households of Dare-I- Sufi Payin and Dare–I Sufi Bala is threatened as a result of structural limitations (land access, limited off farm income, rain-fed area…) aggravated by the recurrent drought shocks. The capacities of the households have been severely affected by the recurrent natural disasters. Moreover, the 2011 drought significantly affected the population of Samangan where WFP found that 37, 1% of the population was food insecure due to the drought. Vulnerability Factors: 1. Poor nutrition, hygiene and care practices • Access to education and knowledge is very limited in Samangan province and this is particularly acute for women. In Samangan, the Department of Education estimated that only one or two percent of the women above 15 are literate. Many women live in extreme isolation, further aggravated by lack of education and economic resources. In addition there are no programs or campaigns dedicated to women related to nutrition, and care practices. As a result of this lack of education and awareness, knowledge on nutrition, hygiene and care practices is poor within the community, leading to unsafe practices putting particularly at risk children, pregnant and lactating women. • In August 2009, households reported a consumption of on average 5.2 different categories of food over a recall period of 24h. The 5 most consumed food groups are (1) cereals, (2) tea and condiments (3) cooking oil and fat, (4) sugar and then (5) potatoes and tuber. The major causes of this poor diversification of the food intake are (1) poor access to diverse food groups especially vegetables and fruits, (2) poor availability of vegetable and fruits (3) poor knowledge of nutrition. Production of vegetables is inexistent in the rain -fed area of both districts and availability of fresh vegetables is very poor in the local markets. In addition, as vegetable is not part of the food habits, women has no or very poor knowledge of appropriate cooking techniques which could keep the micronutrients. This lack of knowledge and these poor practices in hygiene, nutrition and care practices are weakening the nutritional status and food security of the most vulnerable. 2. Fragile livelihood due to low agricultural productivity • Limited or no access to quality agricultural inputs: The recurrent food insecurity forces the farmers to use their seed stocks as sources of food and the financial capacities of the vulnerable households do not enable them to purchase the quantity and quality of seeds needed to cultivate all their available arable land. • Water is lost due to runoffs and evaporation and the gap between water availability and crops needs. • Low productivity of the soil: the soil degradation, through nutrient depletion and loss of organic matter, causes serious yield decline closely related to water determinants. It affects soil moisture and water availability for crops through poor rainfall infiltration and plant water uptake due to weak roots. • Farmers’ knowledge in the area of intervention is mainly based on the traditional techniques passed down through generations. Access to vocational training is limited in the province. The techniques used have not changed since a long time and are not adapted anymore to the new environment, especially to the consequences of reduced availability of water. 3. Scarcity and irregularity of water supplies at crucial times for the agriculture and the vegetation;

Page 169 of 432. Disappearance of vegetable cover due to the water scarcity and especially harsh winters, worsening by the abusive harvest of wild plants (for animal feed and fire) and trees (for energy and construction); conversely drought results also with excessive or heavy rainfall, that when concomitant with the disappearance of the vegetable cover induces (1) destruction of the crops due to heavy rain drops hitting and (2) flash floods and overflowing of river. Activities

(1)Selection of the valleys for the home gardening: The valleys will be selected in Dare -I Sufi Bala and in Dare-I Sufi Payin in coordination with the provincial and districts authorities according to their structural vulnerability (rain-fed area, limited access to land, livestock ownership limited), in coordination with the other NGO to avoid any overlapping. (2)Establishment of beneficiary committee and identification and registration of beneficiaries. In each selected village a beneficiary committee representing beneficiary interests in the whole project cycle, will be created in order to enhance the community participation and to keep the beneficiary selection process transparent and prevent mismanagement. This committee includes five to ten members from the community.

(3)Support to setting up of 1,000 kitchen gardens: To ensure effective implementation of the vegetable gardening practices, a season long training based on cultivation steps, will be implemented.

Group of 10–15 women from the same village will meet once every 6 weeks for half day sessions, guided by team of ACF trained gardening trainers and mobilizers. In addition user friendly handouts and use of visual aids will be provided to the targeted farmers (booklets) and to the community (Posters). Training will be at field level in the beneficiaries’ plots and will include the following topics: ( 1) Support to set up the garden, (2) land preparation, (3) Sowing techniques ; Nursery management and transplanting, (4) Garden maintenance (weeding, watering), (5) Pest and disease control, (6) Compost making, (7) Crops rotation and intercropping and (8) Harvesting, storage and seeds saving. Specific topics of training and refreshment sessions will be added according to the needs expressed by the beneficiaries.

(4)Distribution of home gardening starting kits ( seeds and tools): ACF will distribute kitchen garden (vegetable) seeds and kit of basic tools (hoe, watering can, dibble, trowel and rack) the first year. Due to the difficulty of seed reproduction, seeds will be provided the second year as well. It is expected that the beneficiaries will reproduce kitchen garden seeds the second year. Beneficiaries will be encouraged to diversify gardens according to the food groups required for good nutrition . Crops to grow should include those which will really be consumed, which are relatively easy to grow and can produce viable seed.

(5)Monitoring and evaluation: In addition to a regular follow up and monitoring of the progress of the activities, the following surveys will be conducted: (1) Baseline survey and Final impact survey: A baseline survey will be conducted at the beginning of the project to collect the data necessary to measure the impact of the different activities of the project according to the category of beneficiaries. The final impact survey will enable to evaluate the impact of the different components of the project comparing data with those collected at the time of the baseline.

(2) Initial and Final KAP surveys: In addition to the baseline and final impact survey, initial and final KAP surveys will be undertaken among the selected households involved in the activities focusing on promotion of good nutrition and hygiene practices (Result 3). The knowledge, the attitudes and the practices in hygiene and in nutrition practices will be surveyed at the beginning and at the end of the project.

(3)Post distribution monitoring (distribution and use): Surveys will be conducted to evaluate the process of distribution and the use of the items provided ( gardening starting kits, hygiene kit). ?Gardening starting kits: the process of the distribution will be evaluated one month after the provision of seeds and tools ?the use of the agricultural inputs will be assessed through a post sowing monitoring.

Enhanced North Eastern Geographical Fields Northern Central Highland Western - Ghor Western - Badghis Western - Hirat Needs

The protracted conflict and humanitarian crises in Afghanistan has significantly reduced agricultural production, increased acute food insecurity and further eroded and delayed the development of sustainable and diversified livelihood systems. The failure of the 2011 rainy season caused a near failure of the rain fed wheat crop, loss of pasture and significant reduction in agriculture labour opportunities (EFSA, 2011). The assessment of the livestock situation, carried out during the summer of 2011 in the drought impacted provinces, indicates that more than 26% of the total herd was lost and 32 districts will face an acute shortage of fodder during the winter and early spring 2011/12. Water resources for livestock are estimated to be insufficient in 18 districts across 11 provinces. The purchasing power of the affected population has been greatly reduced by the hike in food prices, estimated at over 80% for wheat and 90% for wheat flour, and the reduction of livestock market prices, which decreased by about 65% compared to last year. To cope, the affected population is contracting substantial debts and selling their productive, and in some cases, breeding livestock. These are both negative mechanisms, which reduce nutritional intake in quality and quantity and erode household assets (FAO Emergency Livestock assessment, 2011).

Together, these impacts have significantly increased acute food insecurity for a substantial portion of the rural population, especially in the 14 drought-affected provinces, and particularly for households relying on a combination of agriculture and livestock livelihoods who: • do not have access to irrigated land • lost or sold a high proportion of livestock • will not be able to cope with higher commodity costs

Being able to protect the livestock assets of the vulnerable rural population in the drought -affected provinces is, therefore, essential and emergency interventions aiming to reduce livestock losses play an important role in saving livelihoods, increasing income and food access, and building resilience. Activities

Complete a livestock emergency survey, based on the data collected during the rapid appraisal in

Page 172 of 432. drought-affected provinces (August 2011). A more detailed questionnaire will be prepared and, depending on the prevailing situation during winter and early spring 2012, the assessment could include other crisis affected provinces.

Targeted distribution of animal feed or vouchers: feed will be bought and distributed to livestock keepers as part of an emergency package (see above). The selection of beneficiaries will be based on the updated emergency survey. Feed distribution will likely be implemented together with other relief actions, carried out by other international organizations, in order to optimize costs and logistics. It is noted that livestock-related activities involve women and girls, such as fodder preparation and storage, cleaning of sheds, milking and preparing by products, collecting water and the day -to-day maintenance of animals (grazing, watering, etc). Production of wool based products, such as carpets or warm clothing ,ensures household well-being and generates income.

Reinforce the provision of essential veterinary services: the nutritional and health status of surviving animals is at severe risk due to the drought and inadequate food and water intake. In coordination and collaboration with the existing animal health oriented initiatives (Community Animal Health Workers), the project will contribute to the provision of basic veterinary services in the districts targeted by the programme (animal disease surveillance, veterinary drugs administration, deworming, etc). This activity will be carried out in close collaboration, and contribute to enhancing, existing epidemio surveillance system in the districts targeted by the programme.

Improvement of water availability: the project will evaluate the urgent need for emergency interventions on existing water sources, such as repair and rehabilitate of boreholes as well as reservoirs for rain water. A good number of livestock owners in drought-affected areas are buying water transported on a regular basis. Both MAIL and provincial representatives and NGOs have mentioned the problem as crucial. This activity will only concern water intended for animal consumption and will be carried out in close collaboration and coordination with partner organizations and field veterinary units (FVU) responsible for similar activities and through an inter cluster approach (WASH cluster).

Depending on the results of the livestock emergency survey a decision will be made on restocking activities.

All these activities will be implemented in close coordination with the specialized services of the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) and other specialized partners and concerned communities. Training on animal husbandry at household level will especially target women. A consortium of NGOs ready to get involved in Emergency Livestock programmes has been formed in October 2011.

The project activities will be monitored and evaluated regularly by FAO and implementing partners. Outcomes

• The loss of essential livelihood assets is prevented; • Vulnerable rural households (especially women and girls) have increased access to animal products (meat and milk). This will contribute to an improved nutritional status and generate additional income through production of by products, such as cheese or yoghourts and wool based products; • Rural communities in disaster prone areas are better prepared to cope efficiently with natural disasters, in particular drought; • Decreased the debt of vulnerable households through asset reconstitution; • Better understanding of agropastoralist and pastoralist livelihoods, the impact of livestock protection on the different members of the household, disaggregated by gender, and criteria for targeting interventions.

Enhanced Northern - Balkh Geographical Fields Needs

The Food Security and Agriculture Cluster’s Emergency Food Security Assessment Report 2011 shows that an estimated 2.86 million people are food insecure in Afghanistan due to below normal production in 14 of the 34 provinces in the country as a consequence of a drought. The food insecurity situation will also deepen as the winter season sets in November and will continue until the next harvest season in June 2012. The total affected population requires support in cash or food as their ability to purchase has been eroded by high food prices at over 80% for wheat and 90% for wheat flour compared to July 2010.

The Early Recovery Need Assessment Report 2011 also states that 668,000 (55% of 1,218,000 people) are affected by drought in Balkh Province . Balkh Province itself has 89,200 tons of food deficits. Drought and conflict may aggravate the vulnerability of the people.

Johanniter proposes a proposal to provide immediate relief of food to 10,500 people as beneficiaries (1,500 families) affected by drought. The food aid includes flour, bean and edible oil. The beneficiaries include 2,100 child-bearing of women age, 2,100 children under 5 years and other 6,300 men, disables, widows, orphans, etc. Johanniter is coordinating with WFP, UNHCR, UNOCHA and NGOs in order to ensure that the project fills the gaps and avoid duplication to provide assistance ensuring equality. Activities

Enhanced Eastern - Kunar Geographical Fields Eastern - Nuristan Eastern - Nangarhar Eastern - Laghman Needs

Decade’s long of insecurity has led to massive displacement and has disrupted agricultural system in eastern region Afghanistan. The conflict zone provinces, Kunar, Nanagarhar, Nuristan and Laghman, are still under various threats of insurgencies and conflicts; and considers as highly vulnerable to conflict associated disasters. The conflicts has resulted in food and cash crops losses that were ready for harvest, and the subsequent second season crops that should have been planted were also disrupted. Consequently, two cropping cycles – Rabi and Kharif, a full year’s worth of production – have been lost, with another Rabi cycle in jeopardy.

According to government consolidated reports and findings; it has been analyzed that 56% of farm households lost all food crops and 43% lost all cash crops. Further, 59% of households lost all of their stored food stock (primarily wheat grain and maize) stock. Livestock, on which households depend, particularly the women, were decimated due to emergency distress and direct losses/damages due to conflict, theft and death. According to one assessment, 67% of households that owned livestock suffered losses and, of the 73% of households that owned poultry before the crisis, 80% of these were lost during the on-going or past conflicts.

To address the most immediate and emergency needs the impending planting season; a number of NGOs is providing agricultural inputs including seeds and fertilizers. But because of timing and insufficient funding, these input either uncertified, lack of technical guide or represent only a portion of the needs. There is the dire need to supply agriculture inputs to these disaster/crises affected households through the cropping agricultural seasons and seasons based inputs of 2011-2012.

SHPOUL is well experienced to implement such a project and has proven management capabilities for the implementation of complex programs, including numerous agricultural and emergency recovery programs, emergency response and support to livestock rehabilitation projects. SHPOUL has implemented a wide range of agriculture-based projects including technology introduction, farmer training, crop introduction, farmer association formation and livestock initiatives. The agency has excellent linkages, knowledge, and credibility both with the government agricultural authorities and with the communities.

SHPOUL carried out various ground visits and collected data on the conflict and flood affected farmers' households, where it has been analyzed that immediate emergency support is needed to respond to the rapidly occurring food insecurity situation in the region; and the support/assistance for fulfilling the emergency needs

Page 177 of 432. should be kept according to the agriculture rehabilitation and livestock inputs to provide farmers opportunities of seasons based cropping and livestock improvement. Therefore, the project has been proposed to intervene for the protection of food insecurity in crises-affected farmers' households in four provinces who are still vulnerable to disasters and needs on time assistance of agriculture and livestock inputs. Activities

This program is based on a flexible inputs package resource transfer approach that suits the agricultural, cultural, social, economic, commercial, and environmental circumstances, as well as the conditions of the emergency recovery needs. During assessment; affected households, including women headed households, aged, disabled and child headed households as well the vulnerable farmers will be identified, significantly involved and provided by project assistance. The project planning, implementation and monitoring will be conducted in collaboration with the Department of Agriculture, Department of Livestock and Dairy Development.

Activity 1: Beneficiary selection and Input assistance Vouchers

Determination of final selection criteria: Field staff will work with representatives of local community to identify a set of beneficiary eligibility criteria. The criteria will be based to select those households have been affected, damaged, extremely vulnerable, partially damaged but less access to markets and agriculture inputs, passed away in male bread earners and those women who are based on agriculture livelihoods (fully or partially damaged). The selection criteria are flexible to provide assistance to partially damaged/affected child, aged and disable headed households in the target provinces.

Target Households selection mechanism: Project staff will establish village committees (03 committees in each province, each committee comprised on 08 men and 02 women) and will share information about the program and communicate the selection criteria through the existing committees. The project staff will ensure that the committee is representative of beneficiaries and including affected women. Women will be included in decision making processes. All this process will be completed under SHPOUL close monitoring system at field.

Beneficiary Selection: Project staff jointly with the established committees will identify households that fit the criteria for project assistance. To ensure transparency and coherent response the information about the target households will be shared with cluster, Agriculture Department and other stakeholders.

Input Assistance Package (IAP) Selection: IAP recipients will design their assistance package by choosing from a list of inputs and quantities fitting their situation and needs. The finalized package will constitute the unique and farmer tailored voucher for that household. Generally agricultural inputs will be comprised on seeds (wheat, maize and vegetables), fertilizers, agri-based tools and Livestock feed will be vaccination and fodder. Estimated cost of IAP will ranged from 155-175$ depends on the damages occurred and agriculture farms/livestock available. (One month)

Procurement Quantities of commodities from all vouchers will be used to finalize orders from vendors, who will deliver inputs to selected hubs where supplies will be re divided for transport to project delivery points. The project will try to make best use of the existing supply chain structure to help them recover from their severe business disruption and so as not to distort the local market. If local suppliers cannot provide the quantities or timeliness needed, SHPOUL will engage directly its existing logistic partners.

Voucher Redemption: Distribution will be carried out in two months. Beneficiaries will redeem vouchers at designated locations, will be cross checked and verify for distribution.

Activity 2: Technical Assistance: SHPOUL staff will undertake technical training sessions at the community level on topics selected by beneficiaries. The topics might include livestock management, vegetable cultivation and kitchen gardens, food processing.

Activity 3: Reporting, Monitoring and Evaluation

Page 178 of 432. Outcomes

• Agricultural production: 3600 households will be assisted in restoring their agricultural production and livestock from the emergency assistance provided • Food Security: 36,000 individuals will have improved food security from household’s production • Women’s livelihood: 4,000 women will receive the assistance and will restore their agricultural and livestock damages occurred in conflicts • Capacity building: 4,000 farmers received specialized training which restored their agricultural damages and potentially resulted in improved production • Capacity building: The Agricultural service will have renewed linkages to communities and farmers and renewed respect and trust from the farming community • Ownership and dignity: Restored sense of self reliance and dignity by participation and decision making in tailoring the IVP emergency needs and priorities.

Enhanced North Eastern - Takhar Geographical Fields Needs

Takhar province has traditionally been considered to be the bread -basket of the country supplying around 70% of the national wheat harvest. Yet years of drought followed by flash flooding in the spring of 2009 have left the province highly food insecure. Yangiqla, Khujaghar and Bangi districts are most adversely affected by the flooding. 75-85% of the population of this province lives in rural areas and depends on agriculture for a living. Lack of access to quality agricultural inputs and technical knowledge (seed, fertilizer, pesticide, veterinary supplies, food processing technology, etc.) have only further served to exacerbate farmers ’ vulnerability to natural hazards decreasing yields and incomes.

Based on survey which was conducted by UNAMA and FEWS in December 2008, this province is particularly vulnerable to humanitarian crisis as traditional rain -fed agriculture failed during recent flooding leaving an estimated 75-80% of the population in the rain-field areas of this province highly vulnerable. Flooding in spring 2010 and drought this year has left high levels of household food security vulnerability.

Many vulnerable families are continuing to face food insecurity and poor nutrition status because their coping mechanisms have been degraded by several years of drought. According to the survey conducted by Takhar National Disaster Management Agency in this year, around 13,365 household are affected by drought, and more than 280,000 jeribs rain-fed land have been destroyed in three districts of Takhar province. If this time-critical assistance is not provided, vulnerable households are likely be highly food insecure leading to taking up negative and destructive coping mechanisms such as selling off their productive assets, child labour and child marriage (bride price).

Based on focus group discussion conducted by ACTED’s gender focal point and female field staff with help of trained staff of Appraisal Monitoring and Evaluation Unit (AMEU) in September 2011 to understand the severity of the drought we understand that women are most affected by drought as they are often the last person in the house to eat the leftover food. They also have to walk several kms to get drinking water.

The needs that were prioritized by these studies are:

? Food security needs ? Access to agriculture technical knowledge ? Disaster Preparedness

Page 180 of 432. Activities

• Food aid to vulnerable families through which food security needs of women, men, girls and boys are met Page 1 of 3

• Cash-for-Work to both men and women to increase purchasing power of poor families • Conduct of agricultural training for women and men through which their knowledge and skills are improved • Disaster preparedness training would be conducted separately for men, women, boys and girls along with community level rehersals Cash for work (CFW): Working through local community governance structures, ACTED will mobilise able bodied beneficiaries through a CFW program to effectuate the necessary repairs and construction of flood destroyed community infrastructures such as roads and culverts. ACTED will select 900 vulnerable families affected by flood or drought for CFW in coordination with the communities affected by the flooding. Some beneficiaries considered to be chronically food insecure will not be able to participate in CFW activities because of practical impediments (age/infirmity/child care responsibilities) and will be provided with the equivalent level of support through the provision of cash transfers – an estimated 200USD to 600 vulnerable households unable to participate in CFW. However, selected CFW participants will engage in road reconstruction and repair, cleaning of canal and the construction of gabion walls and retaining walls to mitigate the impact of future floods. Women will be engaged in CFW activities considered appropriate by the culture and the community. Gabion weaving and food preparation for CFW would be exclusively reserved responsibilities for women. The ACTED team will also work with the local community to form and train “Operations and Maintenance” committees to provide upkeep to the rehabilitated infrastructure under this project.

• Conduct of agricultural and disaster preparedness training: 2100 male and female farmers will be benefited from agriculture trainings in three districts of Takhar. In order to ensure good management and better facilitation of the trainings, ACTED will separate these male and female farmers to groups, and each groups will have on average 25 members. Each group will be provided with 10 training sessions, which will include training about agricultural opportunities in the area. Both male and female farmers will benefit. The training will be planned around the following 10 themes:

Training in Agriculture 1. Agronomic practices on 3 main crop of the area 2. Pest and disease control of 3 main crops of the area 3. Members awareness training of agricultural co-operatives 4. Irrigation practices and water conservation 5. Soil health management 6. Post harvest management and marketing 2. Training in Disaster Preparedness 1.Rapid need assessment after disaster 2. Disaster preparedness planning 3. Planning, resources mobilization and management 4. Co-ordination and setting up early warning system Outcomes

Improved availability of food for 900 households through cash and food for work Interventions • 600 vulnerable households unable to participate in CFW provided with equivalent level of financial support as CFW beneficiaries. • Improved food security in more than 1500 vulnerable households through consolidated cash for work and food intervention. • At least 2100 male and female farmers benefit from agriculture training • Raised awareness of 2100 farmers against disaster preparedness • Enhanced the capacity of 2100 farmers in scientific cultivation

Enhanced Northern - Jawzjan Geographical Fields Needs

Afghanistan is a land locked country and more than 80% of the population livelihoods depend on agriculture and animal husbandry, 30 years continuous war destroyed the agriculture infrastructure and kept this sector undeveloped and farmers are Continuously using traditional methods and having less access to the market and better agri- inputs which is one of the main causes of the poor agriculture production.

Afghan women are the most marginalized and affected group in the country. Their vulnerability is mainly because of gender issues such as gender-based violence including domestic violence, and a sky-scraping range of gender discrimination and limited access of women to the basic human rights. Therefore, in any development initiatives the issue of gender equality and addressing the basic needs of women should be the priority. Women’s marginalization and vulnerability can be addressed through gender awareness training, not for women only but men too, as gender based-violence mainly taking place by men, particularly in the context of patriarch country such as Afghanistan. Women are vulnerable before, during and after any disaster especially in the context of Afghanistan. Therefore, this project considers women the neediest group which their problems should be addressed. “Women within other vulnerable populations can be categorized as vulnerable within vulnerable’ (Fordham 2003 P. 176). Severe drought during the growing season 2010-2011deteriorated the rain-fed wheat crop production, pasture land and reduction of the agriculture employment.the overall deficit of food is estimated 2 million MT and 1.8 million MT needs to be imported from other countries.

The Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) conducted by WFP and other NGOs revealed that Badakhshan, Badghis, Samangan, Jawjan, Sari-pull, Faryab, Heart, Daikundi, Bamyan were identified as highly affected provinces. MAIL price bulletin August 2011 reported the dramatic increment of the food item prices especially in north, north east and central highland provinces. The report indicated more than 80% of wheat price increased compare to the same month of 2010.

Mingajik is one of the highly affected districts of Jawjan Provinces. Majority of the agriculture land is rain fed . The wheat harvest in 2011 is less than 50% compare to 2010 and some cases farmers used their field for grazing purpose because of less value to harvest. The total rain fed farmers harvest can address the food requirement of the household for 2-4 months. The household whose livelihood depends on animal husbandry faced shortage of the fodder for the livestock and already started selling their livestock in low prices and used

Page 183 of 432. the income for purchasing the food item. The labour market has been reduced in employment and daily wage . The EFSA assessment indicates that the affected households need emergency food assistance till next harvest. Activities

Objective 1: To increase food security of vulnerable drought affected household through provision of the immediate relief needs till next harvest 350 household ( men / women) who are able to work for 66 days for two period 22 days before and 44 days after winter and will receive 100 USD in the first period and USD 200 for the second period. 50 women headed household, widows, disable mothers, lactating mothers and 50 men household attending in three weeks training on personnel, household and environmental hygiene, ORS making, child care and feeding, water treatment in household level in two period one training before winter and two training after winter. After the completion of each training, the participants will receive 100USD. The trained women/men become ToT in the community and each of them will train 5 other women or in the community. Objective2: Empowerment of the drought affected women through establishment of the community women livestock centre.

100 vulnerable house hold women organised in community women livestock centres and each woman will receive 3 small sheep /goat. Each women livestock centre will receive 4 round of the technical training on animal husbandry, diary processing, livestock hygiene, basic diseases and treatments, importance of the vaccination and livestock feeding. 100 men will receive amount of 150kg supplementary animal feeding for the period of winter

Objective3: To address the gender issues especially in a disaster context that makes women more vulnerable and marginalized?

Training of local staff in order to local and international staff of the project about certain topics such as women rights, gender issues and other related literature in order to adequately respond to the need of targeted beneficiaries. Monitoring and supervision of the services should take place as this is the very important part will make sure that women have sufficient access to food and chance of gender-based violence can be reduced. Comprehensive and regular needs assessment, risk assessment and capacity assessment of beneficiaries particularly women and children, to guarantee equal access of women to relief items and providing gender sensitivity and human rights training for all relief workers in the project. Outcomes

Food security of the target households improved through cash for training and cash for work activities Community infrastructure rehabilitated and re functioning through CFW intervention. Hygiene promotion improved in household and community through training of the ToT in the community 20% of the target household income increased by provision of the small animal for the households who sold their animal or doesn’t have any income sources. Both male and female Project staff and local staff will be familiarized to the potential factors which makes women more vulnerable, because of their gender. The right beneficiaries and the most vulnerable such as women will be selected and benefited from the project.

Enhanced North Eastern - Baghlan Geographical Fields Needs

In Baghlan province, chronically vulnerable communities are affected by yearly seasonal floods, causing significant infrastructural and shelter damage and destruction to agricultural land. These emergencies further worsen the food security of vulnerable households through the loss of main livelihoods assets and a subsequent shortfall in income. Though predictable, the repercussions of these yearly crises usually go unaddressed, due to the harsh terrain of the area, limited donor focus, and the limited ability of the communities to rebuild on account of high levels of indebtedness. UN OCHA and Baghlan PDMC reported 2312 families affected by floods in the spring and summer of 2010. ACTED has been working in Baghlan province since 2001, and a rapid needs assessment was conducted by the ACTED Baghlan, PDMC, UNAMA and government appointed team to identify needs in 2010 but no donor agencies expressed an interest in alleviating the acute needs in the province at the time.

In August 2011, on account of widespread lack of rainfall across the northern region, a full Drought Emergency Food Security Assessment was conducted through WFP, NGO representatives and the Department for Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock. Three districts (Nahrin, Dahni Ghori and Andrab) were selected for sampling from Baghlan province.

The results of the survey indicated that 173,000 people were badly affected by the drought out of a total population of 850,000. Nahrin district was the worst affected, registering the worst possible rating for impact on agriculture, pastures and threat to human health and 51% of its population (34,000 people) estimated to be food insecure. Burka recorded similar indicators for impact on agriculture and pasture, with 8000 people anticipated to be food insecure this year. The survey noted that there was not a large disparity in terms of food insecurity between male and female headed households. However, ACTED’s AMEU team conducted a drought assessment in September 2011 and found that women were suffering due to lack of drinking water as they have to walk more than 4 – 5 hours to get drinking water and their health suffers disproportionately as they are often the last in the line to eat in the house. There are wide spread cases of TB among women. Income earned by women is not enough to make significant impact on raising the standard of life of the families.

From the above three conducted assessments in 2010 and 2011, it clearly came out that the populations that lost livestock or crops and were affected by drought and floods should be given access to alternative means of income generation. ACTED has identified cash for work opportunities including digging of tub wells, road graveling, rehabilitating retaining walls, cleaning and replanting of fields and support to the construction for means of income generation to support household food security. CFW identified as appropriate for women were gabion wire weaving and repairing field canals with their families. Page 1 of 2

Page 186 of 432.

The needs prioritized by these studies were

• Income security needs • Food security needs Activities

The suggested project will respond to the urgent needs of populations affected by drought in 2011 by providing emergency relief through provision of food supplies and cash for work, while ensuring that the method of rehabilitation increases the resistance of infrastructure to drought and other types of natural disaster such as flooding.

• Food supply to the vulnerable: Using ACTED’s own livelihoods assessment methods the most vulnerable families which includes women, girls, boys and men in the community would be selected based on set criteria who would be supplied with wheat flour and other rations for three months. • Cash for work (CFW): Working through local community governance structures of Community development councils (CDC) which consists of male and female CDCs, ACTED will mobilise able bodied beneficiaries from vulnerable households through a CFW program to effectuate the necessary repairs and construction. ACTED will select eligible candidates for CFW in coordination with the communities affected by the flooding and drought. Able bodied CFW participants will engage in road reconstruction and repair, cleaning of canal and the construction of gabion walls and retaining walls to mitigate the impact of future floods. Women will be primarily engaged in CFW activities appropriate to the local culture and community. Gabion weaving, field canal cleaning and correction and food preparation for CFW would be exclusive responsibility of women . Each familiy will be able to get 120 USD equivalent worth of work.. The cash for work will be spread over three months period The ACTED team will also work with the local community to form and train “Operations and Maintenance” committees to provide upkeep to the infrastructure rehabilitated under this project. It is expected that with improved insfrastructure of water, they will spend less time in collecting water and will have food to eat. • Model poultry farm: Women groups will be formed would be given training in poultry keeping and would be supplied with 10 chicken of 5 months old. A poultry shed too will be constructed to keep the poutry safe during harsh winter, The outputs from the poultry would help to increase the family income as well as improve the family nutrition including men, women, boys and girls. Outcomes

6000 families benefit directly through CFW activities designed to better protect their community from floods and disasters with women engaged in gabion wall weaving. • 23600 households benefit from road rehabilitation through CFW. • 2646 households have constructed their culverts and canals through CFW. • 12750 households (men and women) benefit from having canals cleaned/reconstructed through CFW • 100 women are organized into womens group have received 10 chicken (6 month old) and establish poultry farms. • 240 women have received vocational training through training centres. • 300 households provided with life saving food assistance for three months.

Enhanced Northern - Jawzjan Geographical Fields Needs

Afghanistan’s agricultural sector has suffered major setbacks over the past 30 years from a variety of adverse factors such as civil strife, dilapidated irrigation infrastructure, floods and droughts directly impacting on the agricultural capacity of the country. This has resulted in the fluctuation of wheat production invariably from year to year as a response to variable precipitation and ability of farmers to access critical inputs during the growing seasons. According to USDA Foreign Office Agricultural Service report (2011), Afghanistan harvested 4.2 million tons of grain during 2009 and 3.7 million tons during 2010 cropping seasons.

It is estimated that 112,000 men and women out of a total population of 317,000 people are severely affected by drought in Jawzjan province and are in urgent need of food and water assistance (Drought Emergency Food Security Assessment –Afghanistan August 29, 2011). The lack of rainfall before and during the growing season (November to January) has led to partial and total loss of harvest in all rain -fed agricultural land in Jawzjan province. This resulted in a reduction of 71% less than 2010 harvests in Northern provinces. The MAIL and FAO Agricultural Prospect Report estimates that this year’s production will be approximately 3.256 million metric tons of wheat, 28 percent less than 2010, an average year against national cereal requirements of about 6 million metric tons. This year’s deficit in national cereal requirements is expected to be approximately 2 million tons and most of the shortfall is experienced in the rain -fed areas in northern Afghanistan. The private sector, through imports is likely to meet most of this deficit.

Since most farmers in the Northern parts of Afghanistan depend on rain -fed agriculture and on-farm labour for income, the current situation has resulted in a double tragedy and urgent efforts should be made to meet the grain deficit created by poor harvest. Shortage of rain has affected families’ ability to produce food as well as to earn income from on-farm labour. A combination of reduced labour wages of between 40% and 50% (ActionAid Assessment Report 2011) and increase in wheat price in the face of poor harvest will affect the ability of households to meet basic needs.

Cash would be given to communities to enable them to buy food and water for their families. Men and women representing households will work for cash in activities that promote community ’s resilience to future shocks such renovation of irrigation infrastructure, digging animal watering troughs etc. The basic unit of payment will be the current price of a food and water basket for a family of six members. ActionAid will target 15% of the total affected households in each village and in this way will reach to the most vulnerable households of the community with 50% of their food and water requirements for 5 months. Men and women will be involved in the selection process and will define their own wealth ranks that will provide the basis for choosing beneficiaries . Cash distribution methodology will vary from district to district depending on services available and the security situation. Action will use the mobile money transfer technology (M-PAISA) offered by Roshan. The project will use WFP and NSP work norms to determine workloads to be accomplished. Cash injection will cushion local livelihoods and prevent further erosion of community assets and coping mechanisms that may undermine their own future efforts to construct pathways out of poverty. Markets are working and food is available in the

Page 189 of 432. markets. The project will guard against the negative impact of project in terms of protection. The likely issues of protection will emanate from the cash for work, when for example, children are asked to work at the expense of going to school, women are marginalized and people with disabilities are not involved in decision making. Activities

Household selection criteria: Based on the Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (VAM) criteria of WFP the following criteria have been identified: Dwellers falling into very high-risk food-security profile: • Families classified as having very poor food consumption • Families that spend more than 50% of their income on food • Families that purchase more than 50% of their food in bazaars

This will be undertaken in a participatory manner with the communities, and must therefore be adjusted to take into account easily identifiable selection criteria that the community members can understand so as not to cause conflict within the communities.

Therefore the following practical indicators of the selection criteria have been developed: • Landless households who didn’t have income from working as share-croppers or unskilled labour on other land plots • Households with rain-fed lands of up to 4 jeribs • Households whose members are not included in any other interventions in the area. • No-manpower households with emphasis to female headed households, widows and the disabled

Project selection criteria will follow the following principles: • Be highly labour intensive, thereby targeting the largest number of unskilled workers • Ensures the largest possible involvement of the most vulnerable people • Ensure quick cash injection through fast implementation • Ensure women managed and/or headed household without able-bodied male members are not excluded from assistance • Achieving lasting benefit for the communities • Conform to established national regulations, including building standards • Avoid causing disruption to established and efficient market structures

After the selection of communities, projects and households have been finalized in a participatory manner with the communities; the identified households will receive 27 days of paid labour on the identified projects at a rate of 300 AFN per day. Of this amount 270 AFN will be received by the labourer, while 30 AFN will be collected and redistributed to households who cannot participate in the Cash for Work projects

Output 1: By the end of the project, 2,400 beneficiary households participating in cash for work (CFW) activities have received enough cash to meet 50% food and water basket for five months • Mobilize communities for CFW • Targeting, registration verification of beneficiaries using agreed criterion • Design/identify CFW activities and develop technical designs • Design a cash transfer mechanism that spreads the risks with the support of experts • Renovate/construct CFW projects in different villages • Monitor project activities and produce reports • CFW wage payments and redistribution to highly vulnerable households Output 2: By the end of the project, 2,400 people are aware of the threats to health by water borne pathogens in times of drought. • Choose appropriate hygiene materials to be used for training • Train community facilitators who will in turn train beneficiaries • Conduct hygiene training of beneficiaries by community facilitators • Conduct water treatment awareness and introduce low-cost household water purification technologies (bio-sand filter) Output 3: Vulnerable groups (children, women, elderly and people with disabilities) are protected from adverse effects of project activities • Identify protection issues arising from the implementation of the CFW activities • Provide awareness on CFW mechanisms as it impacts children, women, the elderly and the disabled • Design a community social contract on protection the most vulnerable

Page 190 of 432. • Design a community social contract with Community Development Council on the protection of the most vulnerable. The social contract will spell out what the community is obliged to do to make sure that children will continue to participate in their education, women who work in the project will make decisions on their wages and that redistribution is embraced by the community Outcomes

1. 2.400 families have improved access to food and water through cash for work activities 2. Communities have improved resilience to shocks through rehabilitation of agricultural infrastructure as cash for work projects 3.

The findings of an assessment study conducted in March 2010 by the Governor’s Office of Herat Province in collaboration with the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority showed that 15 districts of the Herat Province have been severely affected by floods over the past three years. Indeed, at the peak of the rain season and when snow starts melting, floods are often occurring in highest flood risk prone areas. This results in natural disasters affecting mainly flat plains where settlements and farming activities concentrate.

Between May and July 2011, Cesvi carried out a study to assess the feasibility of interventions to mitigate flood risk. A preliminary study was conducted to classify the hydrographic and geomorpholgical features of the areas and the distribution of flood risk, followed by a field survey in several selected sites of Herat Province districts (mainly Karuk and Injil districts due to security reasons and compatibility with project ’s budget) together with ANDMA. The study revealed that the areas most exposed and vulnerable to the effects of flooding and diversion of riverbed are those where the anthropic pressure concentrates. Hence, the development of farming activities and settlements in the most fertile floodplain area has often occurred in competition with the rivers that built that landscape. Consequently, this situation often leads to a change in the dynamics of natural processes, hampering the natural outflow of rivers and streams, resulting in damages to infrastructures, cultivation and loss of lives.

According to Cesvi study, four main macro geo morphological units (landforms) have been identified and mapped as typical of the area. On these landforms, originated and shaped by the dynamics of the river, it is possible to intervene in different ways to reduce the flood risks level and mitigate the impact in the most sensitive areas. The nature of these preventive interventions aims at improving the conditions of the outflow within the riverbeds and at reducing the speed and quantity of surface runoff.

This project intends also to emphasize the value of adopting practices of effective prevention and progressive mitigation of flood risks with local communities and authorities. From a gender perspective, this project also ensures that the central role of women within society is protected. This happens in two ways. Firstly, mother and wife ensure the balance within the family which is easily disrupted when natural disasters occur. Secondly, women are often actively involved in different light farming activities which allow them to preserve their economic role within the family and community as a whole. Activities

Interventions for hydro geological instability prevention such as cleaning and re profiling of the riverbed, bank protection structures and embankments in Karuk (Ghlasorkha, Hij Khalil) and Injil (Rbat Darwish Mir Haydar) districts of the Herat Province These works will aim at increasing the outflow section of rivers and at preserving the stability of the river banks by removing bar deposits in excess and any other obstacle. This kind of work will require preliminary topographic leveling of the areas to be reshaped in order to draw up any specific intervention of reprofilling . Earth-moving machineries (excavators, loader and bulldozer) and qualified operators will be necessary to

Page 192 of 432. perform the works. The process will involve Cesvi as implementing part, ANDMA as Supervisor and Coordination Body and local construction companies for the implementation of the work. These interventions will be carried out in the most vulnerable areas of Herat province namely in those areas identified by the assessment study done by Cesvi (Karuk and Injil District) in 2011. Other areas might be further identified upon suggestion by the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority. Outcomes a preventive approach process aiming at reducing and mitigating environmental risk through structural interventions in the hydrographic system without falling into shares of pure emergency is implemented. People living in the proximity of the areas where interventions will be conducted will be benefited by reduced risks of floods and similar disasters. Lives, livelihoods will be preserved.

Afghanistan faces an ongoing humanitarian crisis with multiple sources of vulnerability, including recurrent natural disasters and environmental shocks, ongoing armed conflict and protracted displacement. The situation is further compounded by reduced humanitarian access and general food insecurity. Additionally, the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) estimates the 2011 wheat deficit to be approximately 1.9 million metric tonnes, nearly three times the 2010 deficit levels.

Seasonal precipitation in Afghanistan normally occurs from November through April. The 2010 2011 wet season saw a late start with almost no rainfall between October and January. Although rainfall has improved from mid January, the cumulative seasonal rains were below normal over the entire country. In late April and May, a critical period for rain-fed wheat, precipitation was low and temperatures were higher than normal, resulting in moisture stressed rain-fed wheat crops in northern Afghanistan.

WFP led Rapid Emergency Food Security Assessment first and second round were finalized, with the combine results indicated that below normal precipitation has resulted in negative impact on pastures, livestock, reduction in yields for both irrigated and rain-fed crops, reduction in water availability for both irrigation and human consumption and loss of livelihoods. As a result, 2.8 million people require food assistance.

WFP has submitted the Emergency Operation proposal to the CAP 2011 drought response to cover drought affected population in 14 provinces from November 2011 to September 2012. WFP’s assistance of monthly food rations and cash voucher as appropriate will reach 1.19 million of the 2.6 million severely affected people who will not receive any support from Government or other partners for an average of six months. In addition, WFP will assist an additional 1.2 million people with a two month food ration to supplement the Government four month food allocation.

To provide additional food assistance to fill food gap and mitigate the U 5 malnutrition among beneficiaries of WFP emergency operation project under CAP 2011, WFP will provide a three-month food ration to cash voucher beneficiaries at urban areas and provide blanket supplementary food to all under 5 (6-59months) children at 14 drought affected provinces, while the ongoing Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation will continue emergency relief interventions to support the other disasters affected populations and IDPs, Returnees/Deportees throughout the country. The total food assistance will be 31,353 MT.

WFP will use food assistance in line with the WFP Strategic Plan and National humanitarian and development priorities, with the overall goal of strengthening household food consumption of disasters affected populations

Page 194 of 432. and the IDPs, returnees or deportees from armed conflicts whom are found sharply increased in 2011.

Page 1 of 2

WFP will coordinate with Government and partners to refine the targeting of food assistance beneficiaries to avoid any duplication. WFP will continue to engage Community Development Councils (CDCs) and Shuras in beneficiary identification given the effectiveness of this approach.

Appropriate coordination with key stakeholders will be ensured through active participation to the drought Coordination Cell and set up committees at Provincial and district level.

The total cost for the operation is estimated in the budget below and the beneficiary numbers will be, if required, revised taking into consideration of Government and Humanitarian Partners emergency programmes. Activities

Under CAP 2012, WFP will fill the food gap of approximately 252,000 targeted Cash Voucher beneficiaries at 7 from 14 drought affected provinces whom receive six month voucher by providing general food distribution of one bag of 50 Kg wheat per household per month for 3 months. The total food assistance will be 6,300 MT.

WFP will provide Ready to Use Food in the form of lipid-based nutrient supplement – LNS (Plumpy Doz or equivalent) to approximately 430,000 children below five years of age in some 398,000 households at 14 drought affected province. The LNS (Plumpy Doz) 50gm/child/day will be provided to all children aged 6-59 months for 6 months to prevent the risk to acute malnutrition during lean period. Through the GFD, each family with children under 5 will be targeted for actual number of children by using village or community beneficiary lists. The total LNS (Plumpy Doz) distribution will be 3,870 MT.

For emergency response throughout the country, WFP will provide emergency GFD of a household (6 person) monthly ration of wheat (50 Kg), fortified vegetable oil (3.7 Kg), pulses (6 Kg) and iodized salt (0.5 Kg), which provides 80 percent of total energy requirements (1,625 Kcal per person per day) to approximately 577,704 disasters affected populations and to approximately 126,060 IDPs, Returnees/Deportees for 3 months period. The total food assistance will be17,389 MT and 3,795 MT, respectively.

Regular monitoring and evaluation of the implementing food assistance projects will be carried out by WFP Area Offices staff, PATs – Programme Assistant Teams and with technical support from the Country Office . Wherever possible, joint monitoring missions will be undertaken by WFP and partners. WFP will continue to collect gender disaggregated data of coverage beneficiaries, amount of food distributed and any complaint from beneficiaries. The baseline/assessment and follow up survey will also be conducted.

WFP will work closely with the Government and other partners to optimize the existing food security surveillance systems including market surveillance and also assistance in beneficiary targeting, M&E work and reporting. Technical assistance will be provided to the MAIL to improve their climatic and market surveillance system. WFP, in cooperation with other UN agencies and donors, will continue to assist the MAIL to set up a strategic grain reserve to enable the government to address such disasters. Outcomes

? Adequate food consumption over assistance period reached for targeted disasters affected households, IDPs, Returnees/Deportees and ? Strengthened food security monitoring systems in place and enhance with WFP /FSAC Capacity development support.

Enhanced Northern - Jawzjan Geographical Fields Needs

Much of northern (north-eastern and north-western) and central Afghanistan is currently experiencing severe drought and subsequent crop failure. Estimates indicate 2.68 million people are food insecure in 2010/11. Food insecurity will worsen as the winter season sets in during the upcoming month of November and will likely continue until at least the end of the next harvest in June 2012. Current estimates indicate that there will be a food deficit of 1.97 million tonnes (MT) in 2011/12, with a deficit of 212,000 MT to be met through food imports or aid assistance.

Households without or that have limited access to irrigated agricultural land are worst affected due to below normal precipitation leading to crop failure. For households relying on farm labour for livelihood security, the drought has further decreased demand for labour services leaving many households without this much needed income source. To cope with the current food insecurity, many households or household members are migrating in search of pasture for livestock, food or income generating opportunities in other parts of the country, or across the border Iran or Pakistan. The migration of many male members of households increases responsibility of boys within the household, or shepherding livestock increasing risk of absenteeism from school. In addition, many households turn to unsustainable coping mechanisms, for example, 50% households are selling their productive livestock and other assets, 40% of households using child labour for income generation, and reducing consumption through reduced meal sizes to ration remaining food stocks.

Drought affected populations in the north require support through cash or food assistance to cope with the current food insecurity. Purchasing power has been eroded by income loss coupled with high food prices with 80% price increase for wheat and 90% increase for wheat flour compared with July 2010. Livestock prices have reduced by 65% and 80% households indicated farm or other labour is not readily available. Furthermore, the affected population is already highly indebted with 90% households in debt primarily from purchasing food on credit .

In addition to severe food insecurity, affected households face severe water insecurity for domestic and other agricultural purposes. The average requirement per household for drinking water is 120-130 litres/day/HH.

Page 197 of 432. Currently households are relying on roughly 30 litres/day/HH. Furthermore, water scarcity increases pressure on women and girls to walk to increasingly remote water collection points (where available), a more time consuming and risky activity. From experience, CARE is aware that reduced access to sufficient food and safe water places households at greater risk of malnutrition and illness which will have a longer -term impact on the health of affected populations, particularly pregnant and lactating mothers, and children including their ability to attend and concentrate at school.

With a population of 470,000, information from the Inter-Agency Humanitarian Contingency Plan for 2011 predicts 54,884 households (approx. 380,000 individuals) in Jawzjan will require immediate relief. In response to the ongoing drought, the poor wheat harvest, low income earning opportunities and high food prices, CARE will implement Cash-for-Work (CfW) targeting 1408 vulnerable households in Faizabad and 1158 households in Khanaqa districts in Jawzjan province. Cash distribution through Cash -for Work activities will enhance purchasing power for drought affected households enabling the purchase of basic food items, support local markets in drought affected areas as well as contribute to development of community assets including rehabilitation of small scale infrastructure such as irrigation, water points and roads, increasing community recovery capacity and improving access to markets, schools and clinics. Activities

Objective 1: The proposed project targets 1158 households in Khanaqa and 1408 households in Faizabad districts through Cash-for-Work activities to provide vulnerable households improved access to food through increased purchasing capacity. The proposed project duration of 12 months will enable participants in the CfW activities to work 40 day cycles (4 x ten day cycles). CARE will coordinate with Community Development Councils (CDCs), Women’s Sub-Committees (WSC), District Development Assembly (DDA) and Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) on the selection of communities and in project planning. Targeted beneficiaries will be divided into 9 work groups and will rotate through 10 day cycles throughout the life of the project. CfW activities will be season appropriate ( harvest, winter etc)

The CfW activities will target both men and women, with particular consideration given to ensuring participation of marginalised households including disabled, elderly and female headed. Ensuring greater participation of women will be through engagement of WSC community decision making such as beneficiary selection, activity identification and location. Consideration will be given to CfW activities thought appropriate for women ’s participation including delivery of meals made by CfW participant households to participants, and curing or watering infrastructure as required during construction.

Objective 2: Through CfW activities, the construction and rehabilitation of small infrastructure and community assets will double the benefit of the intervention to drought affected communities.

Road rehabilitation and improvement: Based on the condition of roads in target communities, the project will support the rehabilitation and improvement of roads. This will improve access to local markets and other basic services and providing benefit to the broader community; increase access to schools for girls and enable greater social opportunities for women.

Flood Protection walls: Target communities are also at risk of flood once the rains commence. This risk is exacerbated by the drought as the dry soil has increasingly limited absorptive capacity. To mitigate the risks, the construction of protection walls is recommended in the flood prone areas.

Constructing Kandas: The promotion of rain and snow water harvesting provides an alternative source of water. Women and girls are responsible for the collection of water for domestic use and increasingly travel further to collect water, increasing the burden on women. The improved kandas will include filters and hand pumps which will make water retrieval safer and more sustainable, time saving as well as decrease vulnerability to water borne disease.

Objective 3: To ensure women’s participation, capacity to challenge discrimination, participate and have acceptance in community decision making, CARE will work closely with the WSC to mobilise and strengthen the committee by improving their networking with other related entities and female community members. Through this activity the project aims to involve women in all related decisions made and to increase their voice as a major part of the community. The WSC will be involved in all project activities including the identification and selection of

Page 198 of 432. beneficiaries (particularly women) and CfW activities.

Further Assessment: While general drought assessment exists, the gender specific needs of target communities remain limited.

Complaints Mechanism: To provide all target beneficiaries and community members the opportunity to raise concerns or problems with project related activities and decisions, ‘complaints boxes’ will be placed in a number of easily accessible points (especially for women, the elderly and disabled). Beneficiaries will also have the opportunity to identify cases of gender harassment or discrimination where they exist. Outcomes

Building on CARE’s experience and successful implementation of similar and complementary projects, as well as established linkages with target communities, CARE is well positioned to address the immediate needs of disaster affected families and mitigate their vulnerabilities. Anticipated outcomes are:

• Improved food security and reduced vulnerability of 1,158 drought affected households in Khanaqa and 1,408 drought affected households in Faizabad districts

• Cash for Work and income generating activities for target households including female headed households

• Improved food security decreases potential for economic migration out of drought affected areas

• Improved food security contributes to school retention rates

• Flood prone areas of Faizabad and Khanaqa have reduced vulnerability to flood through construction of protection walls

• Drought affected communities have improved access to water and reduced vulnerability to drought through construction of rain and snow water harvesting (kanda) facilities.

• Women have improved and safe access to water through construction of kandas

• Women’s Sub-Committees will be mobilised to represent women and contribute to community decision making.

• Introduction of the complaints mechanism enables community members, particularly women opportunity to raise concerns and address issues including gender based discrimination.

The CfW activities will target both men and women, with particular consideration given to ensuring participation of marginalised households including disabled, elderly and female headed. Ensuring greater participation of women will be through engagement of WSC community decision making such as beneficiary selection, activity identification and location. Consideration will be given to CfW activities thought appropriate for women ’s participation including delivery of meals made by CfW participant households to participants, and curing or watering infrastructure as required during construction.

Objective 2: Through CfW activities, the construction and rehabilitation of small infrastructure and community assets will double the benefit of the intervention to drought affected communities.

Road rehabilitation and improvement: Based on the condition of roads in target communities, the project will support the rehabilitation and improvement of roads. This will improve access to local markets and other basic services and providing benefit to the broader community; increase access to schools for girls and enable greater social opportunities for women.

Flood Protection walls: Target communities are also at risk of flood once the rains commence. This risk is exacerbated by the drought as the dry soil has increasingly limited absorptive capacity. To mitigate the risks, the construction of protection walls is recommended in the flood prone areas.

Constructing Kandas: The promotion of rain and snow water harvesting provides an alternative source of water. Women and girls are responsible for the collection of water for domestic use and increasingly travel further to collect water, increasing the burden on women. Water shortage makes it more difficult to retrieve water from the basic kanda system available. The improved kandas will include filters and hand pumps which will make water retrieval safer and more sustainable, time saving as well as decrease vulnerability to water borne disease.

Objective 3: To ensure women’s participation, capacity to challenge discrimination, participate and have acceptance in community decision making, CARE will work closely with the WSC to mobilise and strengthen the committee by improving their networking with other related entities and female community members. Through this activity the project aims to involve women in all related decisions made and to increase their voice as a major part of

Page 202 of 432. the community. The WSC will be involved in all project activities including the identification and selection of beneficiaries (particularly women) and CfW activities.

Further Assessment: While general drought assessment exists, the gender specific needs of target communities remain limited.

Complaints Mechanism: To provide all target beneficiaries and community members the opportunity to raise concerns or problems with project related activities and decisions, ‘complaints boxes’ will be placed in a number of easily accessible points (especially for women, the elderly and disabled). Beneficiaries will also have the opportunity to identify cases of gender harassment or discrimination where they exist. Outcomes

Building on CARE’s experience and successful implementation of similar and complementary projects, as well as established linkages with target communities, CARE is well positioned to address the immediate needs of disaster affected families and mitigate their vulnerabilities. Anticipated outcomes are:

• Improved food security and reduced vulnerability of 1,701 drought affected households in Charkent district

• Cash for Work and income generating activities for target households including female headed households

• Improved food security decreases potential for economic migration out of drought affected areas

• Improved food security contributes to school retention rates

• Flood prone areas of Charkent have reduced vulnerability to flood through construction of protection walls

• Drought affected communities have improved access to water and reduced vulnerability to drought through construction of rain and snow water harvesting (kanda) facilities.

• Women have improved and safe access to water through construction of kandas

• Women’s Sub-Committees will be mobilised to represent women and contribute to community decision making.

• Introduction of the complaints mechanism enables community members, particularly women opportunity to raise concerns and address issues including gender based discrimination.

Enhanced North Eastern Geographical Fields Northern Western Central Highland Needs

Afghanistan has been affected by below normal snow cover in winter essential for 50% of precipitation and insulation to the wheat crop and below normal rain at the start of the season 2010 2011 has resulted in rain fed crop failure by 69% and dryness in 14 provinces in the country – mainly in the Northern, North Eastern, Western and Central Highlands regions. Afghanistan is also affected by small scale wide spread flash floods during April to September every year. The overall food deficit is estimated to be around 2 million MT and it is expected that 1.8 million MT wheat needs will be met through imports from other countries. The humanitarian community anticipates significant deterioration in population’s access to food due to failure of the rain fed wheat crop for own consumption, deterioration in pastures for livestock, and lack of cash for purchasing food due to lack employment opportunities for casual labour. Agriculture Productive Report (MAIL, 2011) states that rain fed wheat harvest is reduced by 69% and irrigated wheat by 9% compared to average of year 2002 to 2010. According to the Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) conducted by WFP and partner NGOs including Oxfam GB the assessment reveals that populations who rely on rain fed agriculture for both subsistence farming and wage labour are facing food crisis situation for the remainder of 2011 and this state will remain in effect until the harvest in June 2012. During July / August 2011, FSAC partners completed the EFSA and impact of the drought in 14 provinces. The analysis indicates that the total number of drought affected people who require immediate assistance across the provinces until the next harvest is estimated at 2.86 million. Households indicated a total loss of rain fed crops (56%) and impact on pastures and livestock (54%). FAO report October 2011on livestock rapid assessment survey indicates 26% loss (died, killed and sold) of livestock and 46% of the household have the fodder for the coming winter while 54% do not have fodder. This is expected to result further in loss of the livestock during the coming winter. The assessment results show population movement out of this region in search of employment and distress sale of livestock as their coping mechanism. The trader assessment in local areas indicated that market is functioning and there is decreased stock of food material due to lack of credit by whole sale traders. Lack of trained humanitarian women staff in EFSL is one of factor which affects reach out to disaster affected women during rapid assessments and design. Women specially the women headed households, lactating and pregnant women are the most vulnerable to food insecurity due to high level of malnutrition and higher nutritional requirements.

Page 205 of 432. There is also a very low participation of women in managing response and decision making at community level.

The response in 2012 requires as follows: 1 final Phase of 2011 drought: Food needs during spring period leading upto harvesting of 2012. 2. New small scale emergency in 2012: foods need arise due new natural seasonal floods / droughts or earthquake. The assessment indicated that about 50% of the population needs humanitarian assistance in these provinces . The key needs identified by the assessments are as follows: 1. Affected families need cash so that they are able to purchase food from the market. The communities suggested that local cash for work activities can provide cash for affected families. Assessment also finds that about 7% women Page 1 of 3

headed households and 3% disable headed households does not have able bodied man and needs unconditional cash transfer. 2. There is lack of fodder availability for the animals. The family’s needs urgently animal feed / fodder upto spring periods. 3. Large number of households indicated that they do not have cash to purchase seeds and fertiliser for coming agriculture season. Activities

Objective 1: Support immediate food requirement needs of drought affected food insecure men, women, girls and boys and among them elderly headed households and people with disability by providing them with immediate relief needs. • Provision of cash vouchers/transfers to nearly 1,250 vulnerable households, women headed households and among them elderly headed households and people living with disability and have no other person or institution supporting them. Each household will benefit by US$120/month for 1 months in the targeted provinces as last phaseof the drought response before harvest. • Provision of cash vouchers/transfers to nearly 750 vulnerable households affected by new natural disasters with special focus on women headed households and among them elderly headed households and people living with disability and have no other person or institution supporting them. Each household will benefit by US$120/month for 2 months in the targeted provinces. • Cash for work for 6000 households as final phase of cash for work for drought affected families before harvest. Each household will earn $ 120/month for 1 months for labour that involves 22 working days per month. Men will work to rehabilitate water sources, irrigation canals, flood protection walls and agriculture fields or as identified appropriate by communities. Targeted women in the communities will be consulted to work on household based projects such as kitchen gardens, gabion weaving, standardising of household stables, storage construction for animal dung/fodder. • Cash for work for 3000 households as newly affected households with natural disasters in 2012. Each household will earn $ 120/month for 2 months for labour that involves 22 working days per month. Men will work to rehabilitate water sources, irrigation canals, flood protection walls and agriculture fields or as identified appropriate by communities. Targeted women in the communities will be consulted to work on household based projects such as kitchen gardens, gabion weaving, standardising of household stables, storage construction for animal dung/fodder. Objective 2: Support rain fed small and vulnerable farmers through Seed for Work in agricultural recovery through provision of improved seeds and fertiliser and technical support and capacity building • Seed for work for 1500 Households- men and women farmers for 20 days. They will receive a package of 50kg certified seeds, 25kg Urea and 25kg DAP. • Provide vegetable seeds support to families who have backyard lands and train women on vegetable cultivation. • Support towards rehabilitating irrigation canals and irrigations tools /technologies through cash for work and material support contributing to long-term food security. • Technical support and training of 1500 HH, both men and women farmers on drought resistant agriculture planning includes seeds, soil and moisture conservation, fertiliser and irrigation etc.

Objective 3: Support drought affected vulnerable households especially women headed with fodder support for livestock protection • Provision of livestock fodder for 2000 vulnerable households including both men and women. The package will be according to FAO ERU guidelines. • Provision of 3 small livestock (sheep/goats) to 1000 HH (especially women headed) having less than 5 small

Enhanced Northern - Samangan Geographical Fields Needs

Afghanistan faces an ongoing humanitarian crisis with multiple sources of vulnerability, including recurrent natural disasters of drought, and its consequent food insecurity and malnutrition. Very low gauged rain and snow fall in 2010/2011 has resulted serious drought in Northern Afghanistan. The drought has led sever drop in the rain fed wheat crop (average 80 per cent loss throughout the drought-affected provinces), also yield of the irrigated wheat crop other agricultural income generating activities reduced substantially. The food security assessment affirms that substantial assistance is required to address immediate humanitarian needs. Samangan province is one of the priorities A drought affected province where limited or no access to food urgently requires assistance to see them through to the next harvest. The situation may become more urgent by the fact that during the winter months most of the worst affected villages and district will not have access to the market to supply food due to the bad road condition; therefore communities in the worst affected areas will become inaccessible, and thus require road improvement. This gap could not be filled without implementation of this proposed project. From the other hand, there is food insecurity due to the recurrent drought, so the community will receive their wage through FFW/CFW which will enable the poor people to save their life. The project has been identified and coordinated with the relevant government organizations, Shuras /Councils (CDC & DDC) Activities

The proposal will target the most vulnerable households in the most vulnerable communities by providing food for work (FFW) opportunities. Female-headed households, widows, and the disabled who cannot provide man-power for FFW activities will receive ration through free food distribution. Unskilled laboures will receive 10kg of wheat per day @ US$0.7/kg for 112 days, which will enable them to meet 60% of the monthly food needs for 4 months. The project will contribute to 60% of the household food basket in order to focus on life-saving interventions until next harvest season. By providing 60% of the food basket the families will come out from the most vulnerable category to the vulnerable category.

Through this FFW project, most of the needy families from one side will be supported by food basket and from the other side; the access roads will be rehabilitated to facilitate the community access to local markets as well. Meanwhile, the planned FfW labours will be used on projects that bring additional benefits, both for reducing the impact of the current drought, as well as for mitigating future risk through improving market access into remote areas to ensure the passage of food during the drought by rehabilitating roads.

The different beneficiaries’ groups will be identified on the basis of vulnerability. The selection process will be done through BSCs, CDCs and elders’ and special cards will be distributed to the different categories of the vulnerable groups. Each village has such a list of vulnerable group as per information collected from Elders, Mullahs and Maliks.

Page 208 of 432. Outcomes

The expected outcome will be 50 km rehabilitated access road, providing of food security for 500 man-day unskilled labours beneficiaries in more than 1500 households for 4 months by providing FfW opportunities to cover 60% of their basic food basket; road rehabilitation work will contribute to assist the community food and access needs. In addition, the women, girls and boys will definitely either directly or indirectly involved in the project outcomes. The cleared and repaired road will facilitate the women access to hospitals and bazaars especially for pregnant women and will also facilitate access of girls and boys to schools as the schools are located far from the villages.

Enhanced North Eastern - Badakhshan Geographical Fields Needs

Due to a lack of rain, losses of ground water and an approximately two million MT cereal production deficit, the government of Afghanistan declared that the northern half of Afghanistan was drought affected. As a result of the dependence on rain-fed wheat and the related labour; the underlying chronic food insecurity in Badakhshan (Badakhshan is the most food insecure province in Afghanistan); and the extreme poverty (more the 58% of the population in Badakhshan are classified as extremely poor) – specific communities have been pushed from chronically food insecure into acute and extreme food insecurity. The Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) has identified that 145,110 (16.2% of the population) in Badakhshan province are in a food crisis in accordance with the IPC classification. The EFSA stipulated that Badakhshan has seen an 80% reduction in the harvest of the rainfed wheat crop. The failure in the crop is compounded by the destructive impacts of the drought on the labour market, which is a crucial form of primary and secondary income in Badakhshan. 83% of respondents in Badakhshan stated that there were less labour opportunities than last year and 54% of respondents reported huge decreases in the daily labour wage. As a result of the agriculture crop failure/reduction in Badakhshan, significantly higher numbers of the population are relying on the market as their primary food source. Yet, the affected population have lost their primary and secondary income sources. Furthermore, due to the lack of pastures, failure of the fodder crop and the lack of access to water for livestock, Badakhshan has suffered a large proportion of livestock deaths, with an average of 23% of livestock having died. Furthermore, the saturation of the market with poor quality livestock, as households attempt to generate extra income, has resulted in a decrease in the value of livestock . For example, goat prices have fallen by 37% in Badakhshan. Thus, affected households are unable to generate the necessary income in order to purchase food from the market to meet their minimum nutritional needs. Without humanitarian assistance, drought affected populations will have to employ destructive coping mechanisms such as migration (as in Faizabad); reducing the number of meals that they have in a day; selling off all livestock including the females that are traditionally used to reconstitute the stock post winter; children are forced into child labour in order to generate additional income; entering extremely high levels of debt that families can never realistically expect to pay off even after the drought; and in severe circumstances early marriage of young daughters in order to generate income. These mechanisms result in acute malnutrition, particularly of under fives; it affects the health of the entire household; and destroys livelihoods as it wipes out

Page 210 of 432. household’s productive assets such as seed (the EFSA stipulated that over 50% of respondents did not have enough seed for the next harvest) and livestock; and forces many into extreme debt, which as a result of the general levels of extreme poverty in Badakhshan, households can never recover from. As a result of the acute food insecurity and the destruction of livelihoods, the most affected households have been forced to migrate. Afghanaid has identified 500 households that have migrated to Faizabad from the surrounding drought affected districts. They are situated on the mountainsides where they are exposed to natural hazards such as landslides. In particular female-headed households, child-headed households, the elderly and disabled are vulnerable to shocks such as drought, and often cannot access other traditional means of income such as casual wage labour and they have access to less. Activities

Objective 1:

- Carry out a follow up assessment on the target households to create a baseline for monitoring the impact and development of the drought along with the impact of our interventions. Taking specific measures in the assessment methodology to ensure that the nature of the problems facing men /boys & women/girls is better understood & the different coping strategies available to each. - Beneficiary identification together with the CDCs (ensuring the full participation of the women CDC representatives). Beneficiary selection will be based on the VAM criteria. Beneficiaries will be grouped into households able to participate in Cash-for-Work programmes, and women, child and disabled-headed households (approximately 20%) that will receive Cash-for-Training, light Cash-for-Work (in Badakhshan for example, women could be involved in Gabion weaving during the winter, to be used for retaining and protection walls that are crucial in the spring season), or unconditional cash transfers. The intervention will target 3321 households in total (21584 beneficiaries), of which approximately 665 households will be women, child or disabled headed households (4320 beneficiaries) - Cash for Work project identification: Engineers, project staff work, CDCs, relevant technical groups involved in other projects (Disaster Management Committees etc) and beneficiaries will work together to identify what the CfW activities will be and to ensure that they are realistic in light of the budget available for materials. The activities will focus on WASH rehabilitation work, DRR and other productive community infrastructures and projects. - Afghanaid are currently working with a number of groups, many of which are women only groups . Representatives from relevant groups will be included in the beneficiary selection as well as the project selection to ensure that the projects that are implemented as part of CfW provide equal benefits where possible, for women, men, girls and boys. - Implementation of Cash-for-Work activities in target area providing identified beneficiaries with Cash-for-Work, Cash-for-Training or direct unconditional cash transfers in order to cover 60% of their minimum food security needs until the next harvest, which means 60% of the cost of the minimum food basket for 6 months. - Establishment of secure mechanisms for wage payment and controlled redistribution in agreement with targeted communities on a bi-monthly basis.

Objective 2:

- Beneficiary identification of households that will require seeds in order to be able to plant for the next harvest . The intervention will target 1566 households as the EFSA assessment has identified that 50% of households that have been affected by the drought will have not have seed for the next harvest. - Basic agriculture inputs provided to identified households. The seed package will consist of 50kg of certified seed and 25 kg of DAP, if it is felt that the DAP can have an impact on the yield. - Female headed households and households with acutely malnourished children (20% of households 665 households) will be provided with vegetable kitchen garden kits including tools for farming, food processing units and plastic sheeting for tunnel farming in winter. They will take part in a short training on farming and food processing to reduce lean/hunger period and nutritional deficit of their family during winter months and lean period. - Displaced households will be prioritised under wheat seed distribution, in order to help guarantee that they do not remain in the city but return to their homes with the necessary agricultural inputs

Afghanaid will monitor the impact of the project in accordance with the indicators that are set by the Food Security and Agriculture cluster in order to monitor the progress and impact of the project, as well as contribute to the humanitarian data available for humanitarian coordination.

Enhanced Western - Ghor Geographical Fields Needs

Due to a lack of rain, losses of ground water and an approximately two million MT cereal production deficit, the Afghan government declared that the northern half of Afghanistan was drought affected. As a result of the dependence on rain-fed wheat and the related labour; the underlying chronic food insecurity; and the extreme poverty (42-48% of the population are in extreme poverty) – specific communities have been pushed from chronically food insecure into acute and extreme food insecurity as a result of the drought. The Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) has identified that 166’700 (26% of the population) in Ghor province are in a food crisis in accordance with the IPC classification. Charsada and Lal wa Sarjangal are both classified as the worst affected districts in Ghor province, both of which are dependent on rainfed wheat (particularly in Lal) and agriculture labour for subsistence and income – both of which have been devastated by the drought. The EFSA stipulated that Ghor has seen an 81% reduction in the harvest of the rainfed wheat crop. The failure in the crop is compounded by the destructive impacts of the drought on the labour market, which is a crucial form of primary and secondary income in Ghor . 85% of respondents in Ghor stated that there were less labour opportunities than last year and 90% of respondents reported huge decreases in the daily labour wage. As a result of the agriculture crop failure/reduction in Ghor, significantly higher numbers of the population are relying on the market as their primary food source. Yet, the affected population have lost their primary and secondary income sources. Furthermore, the saturation of the market with poor quality livestock, as households attempt to generate extra income, has resulted in a decrease in the value of livestock. For example, goat prices have fallen by 26% in Ghor.

These mechanisms result in acute malnutrition, particularly of under fives; it affects the health of the entire household (this is coupled with the lack of access to water which has already had significant detrimental impacts on health – CHA have reported a 12% increase in the number of cases of acute watery diarrhoea as compared to 2010 and a 13% increase in acute bloody diarrhoea); and destroys livelihoods as it wipes out

In particular women-headed households, children-headed households, the elderly and disabled are vulnerable to shocks such as drought, and often cannot access other traditional means of income such as casual wage labour. A specific gender and culturally sensitive response has been developed to target these most vulnerable households. Activities

The activities will focus on WASH rehabilitation work, DRR and other productive community infrastructures and projects. - Afghanaid are currently working with a number of groups and local governance structures, many of which are women only groups. Representatives from relevant groups will be included in the beneficiary selection as well as the project selection to ensure that the projects that are implemented as part of CfW provide equal benefits where possible, for women, men, girls and boys. - Implementation of Cash-for-Work activities in target area providing identified beneficiaries with Cash-for-Work, Cash-for-Training or direct unconditional cash transfers in order to cover 60% of their minimum food security needs until the next harvest, thereby bridging the food gap, thus covering 60% of the cost of the minimum food basket for 6 months. - Establishment of secure mechanisms for wage payment and controlled redistribution in agreement with targeted communities on a bi-monthly basis.

Objective 2:

Enhanced Northern - Samangan Geographical Fields Needs

Due to a lack of rain, losses of ground water and an approximately two million MT cereal production deficit, the Afghan government declared that the northern half of Afghanistan was drought affected. As a result of the dependence on rain-fed wheat and the related labour (76% of the agricultural land in the targeted districts is rain-fed); the underlying chronic food insecurity; and the extreme poverty (42-48% of the population are in extreme poverty according to the most recent NRVA) – specific communities have been pushed from chronically food insecure into acute and extreme food insecurity as a result of the drought. The Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) has identified that 135’100 (37% of the population) in Samangan province are in a food crisis in accordance with the IPC classification, putting it amongst the worst affected provinces. The lack of rainfall before and during the growing season has led to an 80% to 100% loss of harvest in rain-fed agricultural land in the target area where 76% of agricultural land is rain-fed. In the targeted districts, 81.3% of the population rely on agricultural or pastoral livelihoods as their main source of income, which has been devastated by drought. Small-scale farmers (with less than 2 jeribs) and landless households often supplement their income by working as casual wage labour for larger farmers. However, given the decrease in harvest, even in irrigated land, the demand for casual wage labour has also decreased drastically (87% of respondents from Samangan stated that labour was less available in comparison to last year). 54% of households have reported a drop in daily wage rates, with FEWSNET reporting a 50-80% decrease in wage rates across the region. Simultaneously, the common coping strategy of selling part of household livestock has not generated sufficient income. This is a result of the devastating impact of the drought on the condition of pasture land; the significant losses in the fodder crop; and the lack of access of livestock to water – all of which result in poor animal health and quality of livestock. The saturation of the market with unhealthy poor quality livestock has meant that prices have crashed. For example the average goat price in Samangan has fallen by 37% compared to the same time last year. Thus, affected households are unable to generate the necessary income in order to purchase food from the market to meet their minimum nutritional needs. Early interventions in the form of cash injections to the most vulnerable households in the most vulnerable communities is vital to prevent the situation deteriorating further . Already, the assessments carried out have shown destructive coping strategies taking hold including mass sale

Page 216 of 432. of livestock, including those that are kept through the winter for breeding (despite sharply falling livestock price), and sale of other important household assets. This represents a loss of income potential in the future . Other destructive coping mechanisms include reduction in nutritional intake and sharply rising indebtedness of poor households. The reliance on such destructive mechanisms result in acute malnutrition, particularly of under fives; it affects the health of the entire household; and destroys livelihoods as it wipes out household ’s productive assets such as seed (the EFSA stipulated that over 50% of respondents did not have enough seed for the next harvest ) and livestock and forces many into extreme debt, which as a result of the general levels of extreme poverty, households can never recover from. In particular female-headed households, child-headed households, the elderly and disabled are vulnerable to shocks, and often cannot access other means of income such as casual wage labour. A specific gender and culturally sensitive response has been developed to target these most vulnerable households. Activities

Objective 1:

- Implementation of Vulnerability Follow-Up (VFU) Assessment in order to establish a vulnerability baseline and track the impact of the drought on food security, nutrition, WASH and health. Taking specific measures in the assessment methodology to ensure that the nature of the problems facing men /boys and women/girls is better understood and the different coping strategies available to each. - Beneficiary identification together with the CDCs (ensuring the full participation of the female CDC representatives). Beneficiary selection will be based on the VAM criteria. Beneficiaries will be grouped into households able to participate in Cash-for-Work programmes, and female, child and disabled-headed households (approximately 20%) that will receive Cash-for-Training, light Cash-for-Work, or unconditional cash transfers. This approach allows a gender sensitive approach to equally support women, girls, boys and men . The intervention will target 3723 households in total (24201 beneficiaries), of which approximately 745 households will be female, child or disabled headed households (4843 beneficiaries) - Cash for Work project identification: Engineers, project staff work, CDCs, relevant technical groups involved in other projects (Disaster Management Committees etc) and beneficiaries will work together to identify what the CfW activities will be and to ensure that they are realistic in light of the budget available for materials. The activities will focus on WASH rehabilitation work, DRR and other productive community infrastructures and projects. - Implementation of Cash-for-Work activities in target area providing identified beneficiaries with Cash-for-Work, Cash-for-Training or direct unconditional cash transfers in order to cover 50% of their minimum food security needs until the next harvest, thereby bridging the food gap (in accordance with the vulnerability assessment carried out at the beginning) - Establishment of secure mechanisms for wage payment and controlled redistribution in agreement with targeted communities on a bi-monthly basis.

Objective 2:

- Beneficiary identification of households that will require seeds in order to be able to plant for the next harvest . The intervention will target 2142 households as the EFSA assessment has identified that 50% of households affected by the drought will have not seed, and no means to access or purchase seed for the next planting season. - Basic agriculture inputs provided to the identified households. The seed package will be in -line with the MAIL requirements, specifying a seed package of only 50kg of certified seed in rain-fed areas where fertilisers will not significantly improve yields. - Female headed households and households with acutely malnourished children (20% of households = 745 households) will be provided with vegetable kitchen garden kits including tools for farming, food processing units and plastic sheeting for tunnel farming in winter. They will take part in a short training on farming and food processing to reduce lean/hunger period and nutritional deficit of their family during winter months and lean period.

We will monitor the impact of the project in accordance with the indicators that are set by the Food Security and Agriculture cluster in order to monitor the progress and impact of the project, as well as contribute to the humanitarian data available for humanitarian coordination. Furthermore, Afghanaid and PiN will utilise the Vulnerability Follow-Up Assessment tool in order to establish a baseline and to be able to continuously monitor trends in vulnerable households covering food security, nutrition, WASH and health. The project will be geographically between Afghanaid and PiN, the current plan is to cover two districts each,

Reduced snow coverage and a lack of rain in the planting season and an approximately two million MT cereal production deficit nationwide, the Afghan government declared that the northern half of Afghanistan was drought affected. Rainfed wheat yield has been reduced by 77%. As a result of the dependence on rain –fed wheat and the related labour in Kishinde and Zare districts (84% of the agricultural land in the targeted clusters is rain -fed); the underlying chronic food insecurity; and the extreme poverty (more than 58% of the population ) – specific communities have been pushed from chronically food insecure into acute and extreme food insecurity as a result of the drought. The Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) has identified that 71,100 people (81% of the population) in Kishinde and Zare are in a food crisis in accordance with the IPC classification. This puts them in 2 of the top 5 most food insecure districts in all of Afghanistan.

In rain-fed agricultural land 80% to 100% of the harvest has been lost in the targeted clusters of Kishinde and Zare where 96% of agricultural land is rain-fed. In the targeted districts, 71% of the population rely on agricultural or pastoral livelihoods as their main source of income, which has been devastated by drought . Small-scale farmers (with less than 2 jeribs) and landless households often supplement their income by working as casual wage labour for larger farmers. However, given the decrease in harvest, even in irrigated land, the demand for casual wage labour has also decreased drastically and wages have fallen by 30-40% across the districts. Simultaneously, the common coping strategy of selling part of household livestock has not generated sufficient income. This is a result of the devastating impact of the drought on the condition of pasture land; the significant losses in the fodder crop; and the lack of access of livestock to water – all of which result in poor animal health and quality of livestock. The saturation of the market with unhealthy poor quality livestock has meant that prices have crashed by 30-60% across the districts. In the most affected areas, the the price of goats has fallen by 88% compared to last year. Thus, affected households are unable to generate the necessary income in order to purchase food from the market to meet their minimum nutritional needs. Early interventions in the form of cash injections to the most vulnerable households in the most vulnerable communities is vital to prevent the situation deteriorating further.

Already, the assessments carried out have shown destructive coping strategies taking hold including mass sale of livestock, including those that are kept through the winter for breeding (despite sharply falling livestock price), and sale of other important household assets. This represents a loss of income potential in the future . Other destructive coping mechanisms include reduction in nutritional intake and sharply rising indebtedness of poor households.

Page 220 of 432. The reliance on such destructive mechanisms result in acute malnutrition, affects the health of the entire household; and destroys livelihoods as it wipes out household ’s productive assets such as seed. In the targeted districts at least 50% of farmers do not have seed to plant in the spring season. Mass sale of livestock and a rapid rise in debt levels, has further worsend the situation, resulting in extreme poverty from which households will not be able to recover from.

In particular female-headed households, child-headed households, the elderly and disabled are vulnerable to shocks, and often cannot access other means of income such as casual wage labour. In order to address the needs of this most vulnerable group, a specific gender and cuturall sensitive response has been developed in order to target these households through other means of cash transfers than Cash-for-Work. Activities

Objective 1:

1. Implementation of Vulnerability Follow-Up (VFU) Assessment in order to establish a vulnerability baseline and track the impact of the drought on food security, nutrition, WASH and health, taking specific measures in the assessment methodology to ensure that the specific needs and coping strategies of women, girls, boys and men are better understood.

2. Beneficiary identification together with the CDCs (ensuring the full participation of the female CDC representatives). Beneficiary selection will be based on the VAM criteria. Beneficiaries will be grouped into households able to participate in CfW activities, and female, child and disabled headed households (approximately 20%) that will receive conditional or unconditional cash transfers, allowing both groups to cover 60% of their minimum food security needs until the next harvest, thereby bridging the food gap. The intervention will target 3,282 households in total (19,692 beneficiaries), of which approximately 985 households will be female, child or disabled headed households (9,510 beneficiaries).

3. Signing of partnership agreements with CDCs for the implementation of CfW projects and ensuring adequate transparency in the implementation of the CfW projects.

4. Cash for Work project identification: Engineers, project staff, CDCs, relevant technical groups (Disaster Management Committees etc) and beneficiaries will work together to identify what the CfW activities will be and to ensure that they are realistic in light of the budget available for materials. The activities will focus on projects with community benefit that are possible given the prevailing climatic conditions. The female representatives of the CDC will be included to ensure a gender balanced project identification process.

5. Implementation of CfW activities in target area providing identified beneficiaries with CfW, Cash -for-Training, other conditional cash transfers or direct unconditional cash transfers in order to cover 60% of their minimum food security needs (based on food basket cost; approximately 2,500 AFA per households per month at current market prices) until the next harvest, thereby bridging the food gap (in accordance with the vulnerability assessment carried out at the beginning).

6. Establishment of secure mechanisms for wage payment and controlled redistribution in agreement with targeted communities on a bi monthly basis.

Objective 2:

1. Beneficiary identification of households that will require seeds in order to be able to plant for the next harvest. The intervention will target 2,560 households (15,360 beneficiaries) as the EFSA assessment has identified that 50% of households will have not seed, and no means to access or purchase seed for the next planting season.

2. Basic agriculture inputs provided to the identified households. The seed package will be in -line with the MAIL requirements, specifying a seed package of only 50kg of certified seed in rain-fed areas where fertilisers will not significantly improve yields.

3. Female headed households (3936 beneficiaries in 656 households) will be provided with vegetable kitchen garden kits including tools for farming, food processing units and plastic sheeting for tunnel farming in winter . They will take part in a short training on farming and food processing to reduce lean/hunger period and

Page 221 of 432. nutritional deficit of their family during winter months and lean period.

The impact of the project will be monitored in accordance with the indicators that are set by the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster in order to monitor the progress and impact of the project. Furthermore, PiN will utilise the VFU Assessment tool in order to establish a baseline and to be able to continuously monitor trends in vulnerable households covering food security, nutrition, WASH and health, as well as undertaking a detailed analysis of the differentiated gender needs and impact of the programme. Outcomes

Objective 1:

1.1 The specific needs of women, girls, boys, and men and their coping strategies are better understood and taken into account in the interventions adopted.

1.2 Extremely food insecure households, including the most vulnerable households without able bodied males such as female headed households, child headed households, the elderly, and the disabled, are able to secure their minimum food security needs for the duration of the food gap until the next harvest.

Objective 2:

2.1 Livelihood saving intervention, through the provision of agricultural inputs allows households that are reliant on rain fed wheat crop to have the necessary inputs in order to plant for the next harvest, thus avoiding an extension of the food gap for the highly food insecure.

2.2 The most vulnerable households without access to arable land and that suffer from acute malnutrition are provided with the means to diversify their nutritional intake in order to meet their minimum requirements through kitchen garden activities.

PiN will implement both the VFU Assessment to track the impact of the drought, as well as an monitoring system to monitor and evaluate the impact of the programme on the agreed Food Security and Agriculture Cluster indicators. This monitoring system is based on 5 years of experience implementing cash transfer programmes in Afghanistan, and which has formed the basis for monitoring systems for rapid emergency response cash transfer programmes for ECHO and ERF, utilizing a baseline survey & database, sentinel households, regular & random household checks, weekly monitoring of food basket prices, and a final endline survey with detailed questionnaires and a corresponding database, and a tried and tested approach to financial monitoring of cash transfers to ensure that the transfers reach all beneficiaries. This is backed by a high level of direct field presence including by expatriate staff.

Due to below average snow cover, insufficient rains, and losses of ground water, the national cereal production deficit in 2011/12 is forecast to be approximately 1.9 million metric tonnes (MT). This is well above the average long term deficit of 1,155,500 MT, with most of the shortfall to have occurred in rain fed production areas in northern Afghanistan. A recent assessment conducted by the partners of the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC), found that some 2,6 million can be considered severely food insecure and in need of humanitarian assistance. The assessments identified women-headed households as a group particularly at risk of food insecurity due to their reduced access to productive assets, and the higher dependency on markets.

The reduced harvest will negatively impact poor rural households who are dependent on rain fed crops or farm labour for food and income sources. In a normal year, these households can harvest enough of their own wheat or earn enough income from labour opportunities to meet their food needs throughout the year . However, given the poor wheat production, this year’s household food stocks, wage rates, and labour opportunities will be less than normal. In addition, the drought has substantially increased the price of wheat seeds and recent assessments have found that the majority of farming households will face serious difficulties in procuring the seeds needed for the 2011/12 farming season.

This project aims at improving access to agriculture inputs for vulnerable rural populations, including female, orphans, elderly and disabled-headed households, returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) affected by natural and manmade disaster during the 2011 farming season. Facilitating access to farming inputs to vulnerable farmers is an essential task that will contribute to increase local food availability and to improve food security amongst the vulnerable rural population. The provision of a small package of horticultural seed will strengthen the capacity to generate income and improve the dietary intake of vulnerable groups. Activities

The project will make available resources that will facilitate access to agriculture inputs for 60,000 food insecure rural households during the planting season 2011/12. This programme will be carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, NGO and community based organizations through direct distribution, seed fairs, and voucher schemes. The programme will ensure that targeted household can access

Page 224 of 432. up to 3,000 MT of certified wheat seed, 3,000 MT of DAP fertilizer and 6,000 MT of urea fertilizer along with kitchen garden vegetable seed kits. The kitchen garden component of the programme will be specifically targeted to women and aims at diversifying household diet and providing additional income, thus contributing to the improvement of nutrition in the affected areas.

The project will assist 60,000 vulnerable farming households, including female, orphans, elderly and disabled-headed households, returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). Technical training on cultivation techniques, nutrition and marketing will also be emphasized, strengthening beneficiaries' capacities to generate income. A participatory approach will be used for the implementation of the intervention and targeting of beneficiaries. Communities will be encouraged to set up micro -projects funded by pooled co payment reimbursement schemes. Activities aimed at strengthening livelihoods and increasing resilience will be supported. Outcomes

• Immediate resumption of wheat planting by 60 000 vulnerable farming families; • Increased crop production, resulting in enhanced food security and reduced dependence on food aid; • Diet diversification and increased income generated by the expansion of kitchen garden, an activity typically carried out by women; • Improved farming practices through crop rotation and diversification of agriculture; • Raise awareness on the use of high yielding wheat seed varieties and dissemination of improved wheat seed among farmers in the target areas; • Increased access to good quality inputs through farmer to farmer exchange/sale; • Strengthening the capacities of local non governmental organizations, cooperatives /communities and of the decentralized structures of the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (DoAIL).

Paktya province suffers from cyclical flooding and droughts. While Dand wa Patan, Janikhel and Chamkani suffer from droughts in the period from May – October, Dand wa Patan, Laja Mangal (Laja Ahmad Khel), Ahmadabad and Sayd Karam suffer from reoccurring intense and localised flooding between March and September. In particular in Sayd Karam and Ahmadabad, the impact of this flooding is often to reinforce tendencies for outbreaks out waterborne diseases, diarrhoea and cholera.

In 2011, medium scale flooding has impact severely on at least 1,800 households (PiN rapid survey, September 2011), causing displacement, destruction of assets and livelihoods, and increasing prevalence of waterborne disease. This follows a common pattern of seasonal flooding. In 2007 and 2008, PiN responded to similar flooding and drought respectively in Paktya, addressing acute needs through cash transfers for 2,500 households.

There is a lack of direct data about the impact of these natural disasters of the food security and livelihood of the most vulnerable. In order to address this gap, a detailed vulnerability analysis needs to form the basis for any intervention, and will be provided to the humanitarian community for coordination and cooperation purposes. This vulnerability analysis will also address the specific and differentiated impacts on women, girls, boys and men, as well as other vulnerable groups such as the disabled and the elderly who cannot access other casual wage labour opportunities. In order to address the needs of these different groups, a specific gender and cuturall sensitive response has been developed in order to target these households through other means of cash transfers than Cash-for-Work. Activities

1. Identification of the most natural disaster affected areas in eastern Paktya (Chamkani, Janikhel, Laja Mangal, Sayd Karam, Ahmadabad, Dand-wa-Patan) following a natural disaster through a rapid assessment tool.

2. Implementation of Vulnerability Follow-Up (VFU) Assessment in order to establish a vulnerability baseline and track the impact of the drought on food security, nutrition, WASH and health, taking specific measures in the assessment methodology to ensure that the specific needs and coping strategies of women, girls, boys and men are better understood.

3. Beneficiary identification together with the CDCs (ensuring the full participation of the female CDC representatives). Beneficiary selection will be based on the VAM criteria. Beneficiaries will be grouped into

Page 226 of 432. households able to participate in Cash for Work programmes, and female, child and disabled headed households (approximately 20%) that will receive unconditional cash transfers, allowing both groups to cover 100% of their minimum food security needs for 3 months or until they can regain their livelihood (in accordance with the vulnerability assessment carried out at the beginning). The intervention will target 2,500 households in total (10,800 beneficiaries).

4. Signing of partnership agreements with CDCs for the implementation of CfW projects and ensuring adequate transparency in the implementation of the CfW projects.

5. Cash for Work project identification: Engineers, project staff, CDCs, relevant technical groups (Disaster Management Committees etc) and beneficiaries will work together to identify what the CfW activities will be and to ensure that they are realistic in light of the budget available for materials. Cash for Work projects, while predominantly a tool for emergency relief, will utilise the manual labour for rehabilitating local community infrastructure such as rehabilitating roads, cleaning water storages and catchment areas, and ensuring that flood passages, irrigation channels and run offs are maintained. Specific Cash for Work projects will be in line with local development and DRR plans where existing as developed within other PIN projects. The female representatives of the CDC will be included to ensure a gender balanced project identification process.

7. Establishment of secure mechanisms for wage payment and controlled redistribution in agreement with targeted communities on a bi monthly basis.

The impact of the project will be monitored in accordance with the indicators that are set by the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster in order to monitor the progress and impact of the project.

Enhanced Western - Hirat Geographical Fields Needs

A harsh drought in most parts of Afghanistan has affected the most important livelihood resources such as livestock, agriculture, sanitation and safe water sources.

Based on WFP drought assessment an estimated 2.86 million people are food insecure in 2010/11 due to the below normal production in 14 of the 34 provinces in the northern, north eastern, north western and central regions of the country. The food insecurity situation will deepen as the winter season sets in November and will continue until the next harvest season in June 2012, except for those households that have access to irrigation for a second crop.

To cope with the food insecurity situation, households are using unsustainable coping mechanisms. For example, 50% of the households are selling their breeding livestock and other assets, 40% of the households using increased child labour, and the food insecure are using more of the consumption coping mechanisms such as limiting size of meals. Water for irrigation and drinking, wheat planting seeds, and pasture shortage and need for fodder for livestock have been indicated by households in the community as the most urgent needs. Hence, whilst water is a chronic problem in some of the affected areas, the drought conditions in 2011 will further aggravate the problem. Hence, assistance with seeds for the next planting season, especially for the households with irrigated land, assistance with fodder for the breeding livestock and drinking water should be prioritized as the problem will be more pronounced as the year progresses.

In Gulran, Christian Aid partner, AHDAA met with the communities and CDCs/ Shuras of the target villages in the last week of August 2011. During the meetings AHDAA committed to develop a plan including activities to reduce drought effects, as well to make people and community more resilient to drought even in future. Also for more effective planning and to gain factual information, AHDAA has implemented a base line survey among 242 villages where are affected by drought. The assessment shows that 90% of the villages are severely drought affected.

The UN joint mission has identified three main districts where the population is facing shortages of food and water, namely Gulran, Koshki Kohna and Koshki Rabat Sangi districts. And the communities in this area need immediate emergency assistance. In some parts of the Western region, security is still a concern. CA and partners will be able to focus on Gulran District with minimum security challenges. Based on UNOCHA finding, in current year, due to low level of precipitation in the winter and spring the water table has significantly gone down leaving many areas of Afghanistan severely affected (livelihood zones). Shortage of crop, fodder and drinking water in some areas in Koshk e Kohna, Koshk e Roba Sangi, Kohsan, Gulran, Farsi, Badghis and Ghor will become a major problem if no immediate response to the humanitarian needs is provided. Food security in priority drought affected areas will become a 'Food Crisis' during August

Page 229 of 432. 2011 and the crisis will remain until the harvest in June 2012.

Within this Project Christian Aid aims at including also the IDPs assessed by the UN Joint mission. Target lists have been provided by ANDMA, DoRR, OCHA and IOM as cooperation has been already discussed to ensure this caseload receives humanitarian assistance. Activities

Specificities of direct beneficiaries: The project beneficiaries are the local population of the target villages which will include men, women, children, IDPs, and all the vulnerable villagers in the target villages. The identification and selection will be carried out on the basis of vulnerability criteria and of most urgent needs, with priority given to the most vulnerable - IDPs, the disabled, drought affected farmers, and women headed households, pregnant women, lactating mothers, elderly and children. Many households will be involved in more than one sector of support.

Activities:

1. Food distribution for the most vulnerable households Food will be distributed for 2,500 most vulnerable and most affected households who will be identified through the survey in coordination with communities’ representatives, CDCs, Shura members and local Authorities . The food basket includes: 50kg of Rice, 50kg of Flour, 5Liters cooking Oil, 4kg of Sugar, 4 kg of Beans, 1 kg of Tea.

This activity will be implemented within the first 3 months (January to March 2012) of the Project. The beneficiaries will be selected on the basis of a door -to- door survey on targeted villages (40 villages). It will be a one-off distribution in each target village. Ration cards will be distributed to those who will be selected as target beneficiary under this component. For better coordination and transparency the local Shura and authorities will be involved in beneficiary selection and distribution.

2. Livestock training on rearing and provision of vaccines. Technical support, training and provision of vaccines for 5,000 households (2,500 Households are the same beneficiaries of fodder distribution) to prevent animals’ diseases and mortality.

A door- to- door survey will be conducted to identify and assess the livestock capacity of each livestock keeper and needs. Veterinary doctors supported by community mobilisers will conduct one training for 40 villages (3-days training) from January to June 2012. Animals’ vaccination will take place in 40 target villages. An estimated number of 150,000 goats and sheep will be vaccinated (three times within 3 months). This activity will be implemented form January to March 2012.

3. Fodder distribution for the most affected livestock keepers 50 kg of fodder (barley) for 2,500 households. Criteria for selection will be based on vulnerabilities.

In January & February 2012 the fodder will be purchased and distributed to target beneficiaries; those months have been indicated as the coldest months in Gulran District and livestock is kept in households and there is no pasture. Fodder distribution will happen one time in each target villages (totally 40 villages).

4. Cash for work (CFW) including wells’ excavation and deepening, canal cleaning and pipe schemes for the provision of water both for irrigation and drinking.

Around 40% of the male population of working age and responsible for the family income have no permanent job due to shortage of job opportunities, lack of skills and conflict. Their income usually comes from occasional / seasonal work.

The component will focus on provision of cash for work opportunities to 2,500 male workers (an average of 62 unskilled labours will be selected from 40 villages, working for 10 days each); Among those, IDPs, land owners and landless farmers, jobless, to be hired as unskilled labours.

250 women will be involved in the CFW projects to provide logistic support to male labours such as cooking food or prepare tea. Each of those women will work 10 days during the project period. Each beneficiary under the CFW component – both man and women - will receive 7.5 USD/ 352 AFA per working day each.

The failure of the 2011 rainy season resulted in a substantial reduction of agriculture labor opportunities, of rain fed wheat crop, and of pasture for livestock feeding. The purchasing power of the affected population has been greatly reduced by the hike in food price, which is estimated at over 80% for wheat and 90% for wheat flour, and the reduction of livestock market prices, which decreased by about 65% as compared to last year (Emergency Livestock Assessment, 2011). To cope with the market trend, the affected population is contracting substantial debts and selling their productive assets. A recent assessment (EFSA 2) has pointed out that women-headed-households have been affected by recent shocks more than households headed by men. Women0headed-households are particularly fragile as they have: • limited access to property ownership and rights (esp. land); • limited access to income owing to gender wage gaps; • limited access to agricultural inputs; and • limited access to education and information, resulting in reduced coping capacities and increased dependency on external support.

This project will particularly focus on the provision of an initial set of inputs for female -headed-households to improve household food availability and income (e.g. food processing, small animal breeding, small-scale gardening). This will be complemented by activities aimed at strengthening women and girls' technical skills . The project will work in partnership with organizations to address other constraints and assist women in improving their access to credit and markets (e.g. self help groups, small business development, etc.).

Beneficiaries will include food insecure households in rural and peri urban areas, with a specific focus on communities affected by drought and displacement. Beneficiary selection will target women, the elderly, people with disabilities and other marginalized groups. A total of 3 000 households will be targeted. Activities

• Identifying and selecting vulnerable communities to participate, particularly women, in cooperation with local partners. • Awareness raising, consultations and working sessions with the vulnerable households to choose viable activities, and possible forms of organization (individual, self help groups, cooperatives, etc.) and prospecting opportunities available in the local context;

Page 232 of 432. • Conducting market surveys to identify market access constraints and opportunities; • Facilitating self help groups (SHG); • Identifying activities and needs for the procurement of inputs and equipment, and determine training sessions; • Procuring and distributing inputs to the beneficiaries • Training beneficiaries on the preferred activities, as well as basic bookkeeping skills and micro enterprise management; • Training modules, including technical aspects as well as nutritional and gender components • Monitoring and follow up of activities to ensure improved self-reliance and empowerment of beneficiaries

Potential interventions include: • fruit and vegetable gardening, including greenhouses • fruit, vegetable and dairy processing • poultry • bee keeping • oil processing Outcomes

1) Additional income of 3 000 households (mainly female-headed) 2) Increased capacity in managing small scale activities of 3 000 households (mainly female-headed) 3) Improved the nutrition status of 3 000 households

Needs

Lack of snow during winter and rains during the spring has resulted in dryness impacting different areas of the country – mainly in the Northern, North Eastern, Western and Central Highlands regions. The humanitarian community anticipates significant deterioration in population’s access to food due to failure of the rain fed wheat crop and the deterioration in pastures for livestock. A Ministry of Agriculture Prospectus Report released in mid June 2011 indicates a cereal deficit of approximately two million MTs, almost three times the amount in 2010. Agriculture Productive Report (MAIL, 2011) states that in Faryab wheat harvest is reduced by 59% and by 65% in Saripul compared to average of year 2002 to 2010.

The Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) conducted by WFP and partner NGOs reveals that population who rely on rain fed agriculture for both subsistence farming and wage labour are facing food crisis situation for the remainder of 2011 and this state will remain in effect until the harvest in June 2012. During July FSAC partners completed an initial investigation of the impact of the drought in 13 provinces. As a result of this process, areas in Herat, Badghis, Faryab, Jawazjan, Saripul, Balkh and Samangan were identified as being drought affected. Vulnerable populations in these areas would require emergency food assistance and also agriculture assistance to maintain household food security levels between the end of August 2012 and the harvest in 2012.

Oxfam Novib carried out EFSA, taking into account the impact of the drought on local markets, in Shirin Tagab district of Faryab province and Shozma Qala and Sangcharak districts of Saripul province with partners CHA and COAR. Markets are functioning, and prices have stabilized somewhat lately. Since harvests are poor and people are relying more on the market, the drought affected people included in the assessment identified a need for cash to access food. The EFSA consolidated results for all drought -affected areas indicate these three districts as requiring emergency food and water assistance urgently. The assessment results show population movement out of this region in search of employment and distress sale of livestock as their coping mechanism. Women tend to be even more malnutritioned than others, as they will prioritize meals for their children over meals for themselves.

Oxfam Novib’s assessment of 150 households (HHs) sample in three districts indicates that 98% of families in August 2011 had a cereal stock for less than two weeks in assessment villages. Fifty six per cent of the HHs had lost total rain fed crop in this season, while 42% have faced crop yield reduction. Average HH has 7 livestock reduced in its asset; three due to death and four sold to purchase food for family. Of the surveyed

Page 234 of 432. HHs, 80% are in debt and, of this, 72% of debt was taken to buy food and 12% for health expenses. Only 20% of HHs are still creditworthy enough to get more debt from market. Thirty one per cent of HHs stated that food is the utmost priority following animal feed (19%), cash (19%) and drinking water (17%). Eighty eight per cent suggested response measures in lines with cash for work activities. Due to these acute needs, during November and December Oxfam Novib is implementing a first phase drought response which will be followed-up from January onwards with CAP 2012. Activities

Activities

1. Cash for Work: Oxfam Novib and its partners in the targeted 63 villages will undertake a CFW activities spread over three Page 1 of 2

phases, viz. pre winter (October and November 2011, 40 days), during winter (December 2011 – March 2012, 15 days) and spring (April 2012 onwards, 15 days before next harvesting). 8391 HH x 70 days x 4 dollars per day, which is the average wage rate for these three targeted districts). The first phase of work aims to ensure immediate access to food through prioritizing building assets that also enhance access to water. CFW during the winter months is designed to include winter-proof activities, such as clearing of access roads. Based on the priority and need of villages, CFW schemes will be selected from the range of activities that include rehabilitation of existing water supply/storage facilities, deepening of existing wells and if required also construction of new kandas (tanks to store snow water in hills), and spring protection. These activities will help improve access to safe drinking water.To increase agricultural and livestock productivity and resilience, activities like low cost soil and moisture conservation, irrigation improvement including canal repairing, plantation and pasture land development will be planned and carried out. Women beneficiaries will be covered through activities that are suitable and aim to be empowering, as well as to reduce future vulnerabilities to drought and other natural disasters.

2. Seed distribution: The project will distribute certified wheat seeds to 5040 households in 63 targeted villages for the next planting seasons. Seed distribution will be in line with MAIL policies and coordinated with MAIL and FAO to avoid duplication. Each household will be given 50kg of wheat seed to plant for this season with an approximate cost of 36$ per bag of 50 Kg wheat seed.

3. Livestock interventions: Fodder distribution of 100Kg per household and all the 2722 HH will be covered (75 $ per 100 kg of fodder and 20 $ for vaccinating and de worming of two animals). Livestock vaccination and de worming will be immediately taken up to stop further loss of livestock. Pastureland development work as part of CFW will positively contribute to building resilience in this area. This livestock intervention will include women as the main caretakers of livestock, will be in line with MAIL policies and will be coordinated with MAIL and FAO to avoid duplication. Outcomes

Outcomes

1. 8391 families will have food security for the next one year. 2. 5040 households have seeds for next planting season increasing their chances of better harvest for 2012 and thus have better prospects for long term food security. 3. 63 village communities have improved water supply, agriculture and irrigation assets and are able to sustain livestock assets in challenging times and improved assets imparting them with better resilience for future shocks. For measuring in how far project outcomes are reached, a Performance Measurement Matrix will be used which is based on the logframe. There will be monthly progress reports, regular project visits of both Oxfam Novib and partners (security situation allowing) and a Real Time Evaluation. In addition, a consultant will work with the partners on developing remote monitoring tools. Beneficiary data will be disaggregated by age and gender.

The living conditions are very poor in the IDP camps in Kabul, mud houses covered with plastic sheets, or shelters made only from plastic sheets: there is no sanitation system, and the access to potable water is very limited. A recent nutrition survey conducted by ACF in these camps showed a rate of acute global malnutrition rate of 15.9%; the acute severe malnutrition rate amongst children bellow 5 years of age is 4.6%,while the MAM cases were 11.3%.According to this survey 50.1% of children between 6-59 months of age has no access to measles vaccine, The Antenatal and Postnatal compilations are very high most of the women deliver her baby under the tent in a very poor hygienic condition that is why post delivery infection is very prominent in both mother and child. Due to culture sensitivity the women are mostly not allowed to seek health facility and solve her health problem outside the camps or sometimes outside the house, while male of the camps can easily move to the health centers even if it is away from the camp,that is why fatal diseases are most common among children and women.Other problem is absence of public health facility close to the camps, and the IDPs can ’t afford to attend private clinics or the transport fees. All aforementioned problems are mostly targeting the women and children in the camps.

Recurrent, small to medium-scale natural disasters have always been part of the Afghan reality. However given the country's weak emergency preparedness and response systems, low immunization coverage and lack of resilience at community level, even minor disasters can seriously affect the population's health and nutrition status.

Since 2000, the country has experienced eight droughts that have exhausted traditional coping strategies and led to an increase in the number of people affected by debilitating health problems such as micronutrient deficiency and acute malnutrition. The failure of crops following low rain and snowfalls in 2010-2011 has significantly affected the livelihoods of around 2.6 million people in the northern, western and central regions. There is a high probability that the crisis will worsen if efforts to bolster existing coping strategies and prevent a further deterioration of the situation are not ramped up in 2012. Besides immediate interventions to mitigate the above-mentioned health impacts, the health sector response should include disaster risk reduction interventions over the next eight months. The anticipated rise in malnutrition rates could have a significant impact on the health of the most vulnerable segments of the population, including children under five years of age, pregnant and lactating women, people with illnesses or disabilities, and the elderly.

The continuation and intensification of the conflict has continued to hamper the implementation of development activities in insecure areas. While new health care facilities continue to be built – mainly in urban and peri-urban areas – their establishment in prime areas of need has been postponed, and many others have temporarily ceased to function. The most affected provinces are Helmand, Kandahar, Zabul, Paktyia, Paktika,

Page 240 of 432. Logar, and Badghis. Due to road insecurity and/or transport costs, the affected population has great difficulties in reaching functioning health facilities; this has serious health repercussions for the most vulnerable, including women, children, people living with disabilities and the elderly. Reports from trauma hospitals in Helmand, Maidan, Wardak, and Logar provinces show there has been a significant increase in the number of conflict-related civilian injuries, with children (below 18 years of age) and women accounting for 42% and 18% of those injured.

Minor steps have been taken to improve access to life-saving health services in Helmand and Wardak provinces for people caught in conflict. These initiatives should be maintained and expanded where necessary, using a flexible approach.

IDPs will also need humanitarian support. In addition to the short -term IDP caseload caused by natural disasters, the number of conflict-induced IDPs, who tend to remain displaced for longer, is likely to increase . So far, UNHCR has reported more than 470,000 IDPs in 2011.

There has been a 28% increase in the number of confirmed epidemics (295 so far) as compared to 2010, with twice the number of people affected. The largest outbreaks in 2011 were reported from drought-affected areas. Additional external support was needed to respond to almost one third of these epidemics. The lack of access to safe drinking water, exacerbated by the drought, was reflected in an increase in the number of cholera cases in northern and north-west provinces (60% of all cholera cases during outbreaks were reported from drought-affected provinces (priority 1 & 2)). So far, 52 polio cases (of which 32 were from conflict-affected southern regions) have been laboratory confirmed in 2011, representing a 100%% increase over last year. Activities

• Finalize risk assessments in 18 high-risk provinces and compile provincial and national contingency plans for floods, AWD outbreaks, drought, and conflict. • Provide emergency medicines and supplies (IEHK, pneumonia, trauma, and diarrhoeal disease kits, dispensary tents, basic medical equipment, reproductive kits, miscellaneous emergency medical medicines and supplies) for all health partners involved in disaster response activities. • Provide operational support (e.g. through sub-contracting) for establishing and running mobile/static health services and treatment centres (e.g. for cholera) as necessary and depending on the scale of emergency/disaster and existing response capacity. • Establish advanced trauma treatment centres staffed with trained personnel to ensure access to life -saving health care for communities in active conflict areas that are not covered by the public health system, sub-contracting to organizations that have access to these areas. These centres will also ensure the triage and referral of emergency obstetrical cases. • Provide operational support (e.g. through sub-contracting) for establishment of temporary static and mobile clinics for IDPs, returnees, and informal settlements not covered by BPHS services. • Identify, control and prevent epidemics through: activating DEWS in affected areas; establishing treatment centers; providing medical supplies according for primary and secondary health care facilities; conduct vaccination campaigns (typhoid, hepatitis, etc); raise community awareness of health and hygiene practices. • Implement public health interventions in response to crises (e.g. reactive vaccination, household chlorination, health awareness). • Implement essential environmental health activities during disasters: quality control of drinking water and water sources, infection control and safe waste disposal systems in health care facilities. • Ensure that the health needs of women and girls affected by crises are protected through support for the implementation of MISP (provide supplies, adapt guidelines, train health care staff), in collaboration with UNFPA, UNICEF, and UNHCR. In line with health cluster standards, all emergency medical teams will include qualified female staff and specific medicines for addressing reproductive health needs. • Ensure coordination with health stakeholders/implementing partners (MoPH, UNFPA, UNICEF, NGOs) and other clusters (WASH, protection, nutrition, etc.) through cluster and inter-cluster mechanisms and provincial emergency health coordination committees. • Support/strengthen referral system's capacity to deal with mass casualties in the event of large -scale disasters; provide medicines and medical supplies, additional human resources to deal with increased caseload, means of transport, etc. • Improve coordination for emergencies and support all stakeholders' capacity to respond at all levels of the health system (focusing on provincial and district levels) in affected areas and in accordance with international standards.

Page 241 of 432. Outcomes

• 90% of emergencies in targeted high-risk districts are assessed (IRA) and responded to within 48 hours of notification. • Medical supplies to cover the essential health needs of at least 1 million people (for 3 months) are available for emergency response (including epidemics). • 90% of reported disease alerts/outbreaks are investigated and appropriate response initiated within 48 (including vaccination and community awareness campaigns).

Cultural practices, ethnic conflict, civil war, displacement and natural disasters have resulted in a situation where according to sources cited by Ministry of Public Health 66% of Afghans suffer from mental health problems. AADA reports statistics according to which Afghanistan has only eight psychiatrists, 18 psychiatric nurses and 20 psychologists, most of whom provide services in Kabul. Most Afghans are thus deprived of access to basic psychosocial care. UNFPA in cooperation with AADA since 2009 has trained 199 Health workers (from BHC, CHC) and 91 midwifery students in psychosocial counselling and support.

Women and girls suffer disproportionately from psychological conditions. Important contributing factors to the development of depressive and anxiety disorders in women and girls within the context of culturally sanctioned social deprivation of women through a system of strict gender segregation are: child and forced marriage, endemic domestic violence and sexual violence as well as RH complications and conflict related traumatic loss. Women’s mental health requires special considerations in view of women’s greater likelihood of suffering from depression and anxiety disorders. In the absence of a referral system and given a strong stigma of disclosing to those who can help, extensive advocacy and community level capacity building is required to serve those suffering from psycho-social conditions. Trained service providers will benefit women suffering from Gender Based Violence (GBV), a major cause for psycho-social trauma, when three out of four women in Afghanistan have suffered from GBV.

The project envisages interventions to provide psychosocial counseling and support to traumatized victims through capacity building of health service providers at the community level, establishment of basic referral mechanism for specialized care, and the training of master trainers. The project area encompasses a total of 70 community clusters where UNFPA is already providing regular RH-focused basic health services and community capacitation, plus referral facilities for 23 new areas in Daikundi. The intervention will therefore be sustained as part of the regular UNFPA programme from 2013 onwards.

Personnel trained will be: 49 Community Midwifes deployed or in the final stage of training for staffing Family Health Houses (FHH), 2 community health workers - male and female - in each of these locations (98), two health shura members in each of these locations - male and female - ( 98), Mobile Health Team (MHT) staff of 8 MHT (32), psychosocial counselors/female doctors and midwifes at 13 CHC/CHC+ or higher level referral facilities for the 49 FHH (42), for a total of 319 trainees. From these trainees 20 master trainers (no less than 10 women and no more than 5 in total from referral facility staff) will be selected based on competency during initial training and further prepared to sustain the intervention.

The project is based on the lessons learned of previous activities in Bamyan and Daikundi involving other trainees in the health sector and from government. Daikundi is a Delivering as One Target Province for the UNCT in Afghanistan with a focus on gender sector activities. The project envisages:

Page 243 of 432. Activities

1. Individual and institutional capacity building on psychosocial counselling techniques and skills building of survivors of violence and their families.

• Sensitize and capacitate health service providers to offer integrated prevention and response mental health services, while applying the four guiding principles of safety, respect, confidentiality and non -discrimination. Trainings will be conducted based on the training compendium for psychosocial counseling developed by Ministry of Public Health adjusted to serve the specific needs and educational backgrounds of each group of trainees • Identify from the series of psychosocial counseling trainings a total 20 master trainers of which at least 10 women, with 10 trainees based at a FHH community who will ensure further training to newly appointed community health volunteers and other health care providers as well as provide refresher -training and monitoring and supervision • Consolidation of capacity development of psychosocial master trainers as co-trainers

2. Referral mechanism for survivors of GBV in target communities: • Mapping of potential for psychosocial counseling services in selected communities. This in close alignment with existing activities on developing a community response mechanism for GBV prevention and response pursued by UNFPA • Enhance psychosocial counseling referral services through capacity building of staff at referral facilities to facilitate response to those affected by trauma and referred to CHC/CHC+ or higher

3. Review of available data for response to GBV at selected health clinics: • Basic training on sensitive data collection of psychosocial counseling cases and categories at selected health centers in different districts • Data collection of psychosocial counseling sessions conducted across the project area • Identification of capacity and resource gaps of health staffs at referral facilities to fulfill duties Outcomes

? Effective psychosocial management of trauma survivors (women and men) and their families provided in six districts of Bamyan and four districts of Daikundi ? A total of 319 health care service providers and community health shura members capacitated to support and provide basic psycho-social trauma services ? Capacity built for health workers in Bamyan and Daikundi on sensitive data collection of and maintenance of confidential records on psychosocial counseling cases. The data will be analyzed and reported to the district health offices ? Data collection gaps identified and remedial strategy drawn up at referral points to meet service requirements ?

Civil war, the worst drought in 30 years and insurgency have put up to 7.5 million Afghans at risk, nearly 30 percent of the country’s population. Although the situation got improved after the surge of international community in the wake of September 11, 2002 but, unfortunately, it has worsened dramatically since 2007 due to insurgency and ensuing launch of Nato’s Counter Insurgency Operations. Many relief agencies that once had widespread presence have been forced to withdraw their senior staff from Afghanistan -- virtually all expatriates have been removed -- and most humanitarian relief programs that remain have been severely constrained. Deteriorating security and mounting uncertainty for relief operations heightens the urgency of what is called a humanitarian crisis of "stunning proportions." With winter approaching, two million Afghans inside the country are in search of food and assistance, an additional 5.5 million are known to be at risk, and following weeks without sustained humanitarian aid, lifesaving assistance is required to avert a humanitarian catastrophe. It has been estimated that children under the age of five years comprise approximately 20 percent of the Afghan population -- 1.5 million children under the age of five. The country’s high under-five mortality rate simply means that one child in three dies before his or her fifth birthday. Among the chief causes of death, diarrhea and acute respiratory infections account for 42 percent; stunted growth due to malnutrition and chronic deprivation is suffered by as much as 50 percent suffer; 21 percent die from vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles and polio. Afghanistan is one of only 30 countries remaining in the world where polio poses a health threat, which is borne almost always by young children.

Afghan women are at particular risk. The country has the second highest maternal mortality rate in the world, at 1,600 per 100,000 live births. Poor health conditions and malnutrition make pregnancy and childbirth exceptionally dangerous. Now, tens of thousands of women, including thousands of pregnant women, are at risk without shelter, food, or medical care, and living under unsanitary conditions. Very terribly, one mother dies in every eight minutes in Afghanistan which is a true silent tsunami. Their risk is compounded further by years of oppression where restrictions on freedom of movement and expression, denial of employment and education, and the threats of violence -- public beatings, rape, and sexual assault -- that predated the Taliban ’s rule make survival an even greater challenge. Activities

While the current operating environment in Afghanistan is characterized by numerous uncertainties,

Page 249 of 432. contingency planning to re-establish mechanisms to provide relief parallel to the development efforts is underway. ORCD Afghanistan will work with other indigenous organizations such as AADA, BDN, and others that are providing health services in the target areas to implement relief programs in order to supporting achieving the objectives of this project. Through this project support will be provided in terms of provision of medical and non-medical supplies, recruited local qualified staff mentored by expatriates having specialty in humanitarian response to make sure that a comprehensive humanitarian relief program is implemented aimed at assistance to Afghan residents and displaced persons now at risk.

ORCD will expand and build on the existing Basic Package of Health Services in the target provinces by filling gaps and deploying a total of 6 mobile health teams across the Ghazni province. ORCD will also endeavor to identify a total of 20 temporary/permanent structures through its mobile teams from which health activities could be supported.

Besides providing health care which focuses on maternal and child health, the mobile teams will also conduct an ongoing assessment of the emergency health preparedness and response needs of the population would also be identified so that they could be addressed through a more extensive program if required. A component of each team will be dedicated to the mobilization of communities for food distribution activities in the province if requested by food aid organizations, based out in the existing health facilities.

ORCD will supply these centers with Health Kits and supplementary drugs and supplies as appropriate. It will provide intensive training for health facility staff on immunization, and support staff to ensure effective program implementation. Training will include basic first aid; vaccine transport and administration procedures. CHWs and community health shuras will also be involved in supporting emergency health preparedness with emphasis on disaster preparedness; growth monitoring; data collection; reporting; and referral.

These mobile teams will provide basic preventive and curative care for those persons unable to travel to health centers.It is intended that the mobile health teams will only provide mobile services as a temporary measure until the situation would be stabilized and normal. Outcomes

With the successful implementation of this emergency assistance program for Afghan IDPs and residents, their sufferings will be remarkably reduced as they will have easier access to health services nutrition and probably food supplies if food was provided by food aid organizations. More specifically, ORCD intend to achieve the following outputs: • A total of 150,000 people have been provided health services through fixed and outreach/mobile services; • Ante natal care was made available and fully accessible to all 7,500 pregnant women • Nutrition services were extensively available through all mobile health teams. • Integrated Management of Childhood illness services is offered both at facility & community level • Treatment of TB, malaria and other communicable diseases are provided to the target communities • Institutional deliveries through community based efforts is significantly increased • Post Natal Care coverage has been promoted among target clients. • Immunization coverage in the target areas is increased through fixed and outreach activities. • Tetanus Toxoid immunization (especially in pregnant women) is enhanced among women at child bearing ages. • Birth spacing practices are significantly promoted in the target areas • Functional institutional and community supported referral systems are maintained • Essential drugs were rationally and free of charge distributed to patients • A total of 25 health workers were trained in different topics, aimed at better health service delivery

In Laghman, of 619 total villages (410,300 population of the province –CSO 2010) only less than 200 villages are served by the mobile health team supported by IbnSina, SCA and Afghan Red Crescent (ARCS) in Laghman which is overwhelmingly constrained. While the outlaid villages of one of its districts (Dawlat Shah) has been virtually deprived of mobile and fixed services, population in the other districts are also suffering lack of services as they are overwhelmed by IDPs from Nuristan and other districts that have been affected by war

Page 252 of 432. and military operations. As a result the existing planned mobile health activities by other stakeholders cannot meet the needs of residents and IDPs to the recent dynamism.

Ningarhar once considered as a secure province, it is grappling with ensuing similar dynamism. Whilst insecure districts are suffering total lack of mobile health services, the existing mobile activities s already constrained in meeting the health needs of residents, are overwhelmed by a surge of IDPs from insecure districts such as Lalpora, Khogiani and Shirzad. Of total 2055 (proximate) villages, only 1400 and 84 villages are served by fixed and mobile teams respectively by HNTPO and 144 villages by ARCS It means that not only a total 388 villages especially in the outskirts and outlaid areas of all districts in Ningarhar are deprived of even mobile health service provision.

Kunar and Nuristan provinces which have been more hardly hit by insecurity and have the main source of IDPs in Laghman and Ningarhar also face similar situation. Activities

While the current operating environment in Afghanistan is characterized by numerous uncertainties, contingency planning to re establish mechanisms to provide relief parallel to the development efforts is underway. ORCD Afghanistan will work with other indigenous organizations such as AMI, SCA, IbnSina, Health Net TPO, IMC and others that are providing health services in the target areas to implement relief programs to support this project. Through this project support will be provided through supplies, recruited local and expatriate staff, to make sure that a comprehensive humanitarian relief program is implemented aimed at assistance to Afghan residents and displaced persons now at risk. Health Service delivery ORCD will upgrade the capacity the existing Basic Package of Health Services in the target provinces by deploying a total of 10 mobile health teams in eastern region – 3 in the Kunar, Nosristan and 7 in the Laghaman and Nagarhar. ORCD will also endeavor to identify a total of 20 temporary/permanent structures through its mobile teams from which health activities could be supported – 3 in Kunar, Noristan and 10 in Nanagarhar, and Laghman. Some of the suggested sites include:

• Asadabad, Dari-I- Pech, Chapa Dara • Jalalabad, Kuz kunar • Mehtarlam, Qarghi • Paroon, Kamdish

Besides providing health care which focuses on maternal and child health, the mobile teams will also conduct an ongoing assessment of the health emergency preparedness and response needs of the population would also be identified. A component of each team will be dedicated to the mobilization of communities for food distribution activities in the target areas if required by Food aid organizations, based out in the existing health facilities. In all provinces health centers, in coordination with respective NGOs will be identified from which services can be rapidly restored and from where the mobile teams for the province can be supplied and coordinated. ORCD will supply these centers with Health Kits and supplementary drugs and supplies as appropriate. ORCD will provide crash, intensive training for health facility, immunization, and support staff to ensure effective program implementation. Training will include basic first aid; vaccine transport and administration procedures; CHWs refresher training, with emphasis on disaster preparedness; growth monitoring; data collection; reporting; and referral.

It is intended that the mobile PHC teams will only provide mobile services as a temporary measure until static services can be assured. These mobile teams will provide basic preventive and curative care for those persons unable to travel to health centers.

Nutrition ORCD intends to distribute food the community networks associated with the communities served through fixed and mobile health teams. Initial distribution activities will focus on MCH requirements with rations and commodity requirements based on increments of 50,000 beneficiaries. ORCD is prepared to obtain commodities through UNICEF, WFP and distribute them to the needy population. The critical aspect of ORCD’s involvement in the distribution of a general ration is its ability, through its mobile health teams to reach beneficiaries that would not otherwise have access to distribution channels. The ORCD food component will: • Obtain commodities from WFP or U.S. government storage points and arrange transport to distribution

Page 253 of 432. locations. • Use health facility locations for commodity storage • Distribute mother and child health (MCH) rations to attendees at health facilities. • Distribute family rations through community food committees that ORCD will mobilize. • Maintain commodity receipt and distribution records, by commodity, date, and location. • Maintain beneficiary distribution records by location and numbers of recipients. • Coordinate with other distributing agencies to assure consistency and avoid duplication Outcomes

With the successful implementation of this emergency assistance program for Afghan IDPs and residents, their sufferings will be remarkably reduced as they will have easier access to health services nutrition and food supplies. More specifically, ORCD intend to achieve the following outputs: • A total of 615,100 people have been provided health services through fixed and outreach/mobile services; •Ante natal care was made available and fully accessible to all 15755 pregnant women • Nutrition services were extensively available. • Integrated Management of Childhood illness services is offered both at facility & community level • Treatment of TB, malaria and other communicable diseases are provided to the target communities • Institutional deliveries through community based efforts is significantly increased • Post Natal Care coverage has been promoted among target clients. • Immunization coverage in the target areas is increased through fixed and outreach activities. • Tetanus Toxoid immunization (especially in pregnant women) is enhanced among women at child bearing ages. • Birth spacing practices are significantly promoted in the target areas • Functional institutional and community supported referral systems are maintained • Essential drugs were rationally and free of charge distributed to patients • A total of 25 health workers were trained in different topics, aimed at better health service delivery

Severe drought creates lots of problems in all district of Daikundi provinces especially in Sharistan district this (Year 2011).

Based on survey of Labor Spring Organization, (LSO) from Sharistan district which had been taken place at 20th of July of this year, the drought situation and health Problems are estimated 60% and the living condition of thousands of people reported very serious. Mostly below mention villages are depriving from health facility and drought affected: Sarf, Shalij, Amish, Veras, Glaser, Amok, Vargas, Allowable, Goshawk, Borland AND Shaped villages and two villages Shiran and Mianadosht belong to Gizab district of Urozgan province. Total population of these above mention villages more than 35000. Due to drought year the above mentioned villages lost the 60% of their agricultural products comparing normal year. The communities these mentioned villages do not have any other incomes and occupation to find their primary need Except Agriculture and livestock. Lots people from above mention villages migrated to Iran, Pakistan and big cities inside the country to rescue their families from this drought, they cannot send money soon to their family to many problems and challenges which they are facing on the way and in the neighbor countries, their family should wait for long time without any thing

The primary needs the villagers Foods and health services and secondly to protect their lives, creation handcrafts such as, carpet making, embroidery, dressmaking, livestock and etc that can have a good product for women with creation of occupations for the villagers of mentioned villages.

Note: I worth to mention that there is two other villages by the name of Shiran and Miana Dasht total population are 1720 families which are belong to Gizab district of Urozgan province which is affected from suffered very seriously, it is more than 30 years that these two above mentioned villages did not received any assistance from international, national NGOs and also from Government side, they are very isolated, there is no any health facilities, such as hospital, clinics even one health post. The villagers of these two mentioned villages have lots of medical problems especially children and women, Yearly many children women dies due to lack to health facilities in the targeted area

Below point is the main reason that no one worked in these two areas:

Page 255 of 432. Page 1 of 3

• These two mention village are belong to Gizab district of Urozgan province but they are located very isolated and far from center of Urozgan province. • There is no road between above mentioned villages and center Gizab district of Urozgan province. • The third reason is presence of Taliban in the area between mention villages and center of Urozgan province which caused to stop the assistance from Urozgan side to these two villages.

Assistance and help to these communities is possible from Daikundi side because these reason: 1. Short distance to the center of Daikundi province. 2. There is road between mentioned village and Daikundi province. 3. The security situation is very good from this side to work there and assist the poor people. The Labor Spring Organization (LSO), had a survey from Shiran and Miana Dasht villages in month of July 2011, and live situation of these community reported very serious and the community elders of these two village sent their petition the Sub office of UNAMA in Daikundi and also I had mentioned their problems and needs in CAP workshop which was held by OCHA in Nili city center of Daikundi at 20th September 2011 with Ramazani Ishaq ali humanitarian affairs officer and Mr. .Anatoly melnikov humanitarian affairs officer central region, OCHA A .

Enhanced Capital - Logar Geographical Fields Needs

Afghanistan has gone through two and a half decades of war and instability. In response, there is a significant need for strengthening and expanding health provision as the health indicators reveal a consistently high mortality rate of children under the age of five years and prevalence and incidence of communicable diseases, malnutrition and mental health problems. Logar Province, situated as it is in the central highlands, faces the same overall challenges as do most of the provinces of Afghanistan. The capital is Pul e Alam. The official population is estimated to be 360,900 (Central Statistics Office - CSO 2010) and there is a need to progressively increase the access and coverage and integration of especially vulnerable groups, focussing on un -served communities in remote areas, affected by the ongoing conflict in Logar Province to ‘reduce avoidable morbidity and mortality especially of women and children’. The areas listed for these four districts are remote areas, with difficult access to HF due to conflict situation and climate where the people have more than 2 walking hours to acess the nearest Health Facility. MRCA with the support of EU is currently running the BPHS and EPHS in Logar Province with 34 Health Facilities and 150 Health Posts. Remote areas remain uncovered by the current infrastruture run thought GAVI and EU funds and cannot cover the full need of the remote and insecure districts. The security situation is affecting the population and especially women and children as the lack of female staff and the distance the HF prevent them to have access to Health services..

The aim of this proposal is 1. to ensure the provision of essential and basic health services through 4 Mobile Health Team in remote villages located in geographically hard to access areas and with population with more than 2 hours walking distance from Health Facility (OPD, vaccination, ANC, PNC, danger sign of pregnancy, referral system to the nearest Health facilities, Basic Health care and treatment) 2. to expand and strengthen community-based health care (CBHC) through the identification of 24 additional CHWs in hard to access areas and to link community level interventions with BPHS facility-based services; and 3. to encourage greater community participation and community ownership of health services. Activities

• Implement and run 4 Mobile health teams according to BPHS standard and linked to BPHS referral system. • Each Mobile Health team will include 1 male health provider(MD or Nurse)and 1 female health staff ( , nurses or midwives), 1 vaccinator and one registrator • The BPHS system for equipments will be applied, EPI, vaccination kits, BPHS drug list for MHT, nutrition

Page 258 of 432. and TB screening equipment, referral sheets, family planning information tools and kits • Monitoring will be ensured by the local supervisor in charge of BPHS for MRCA and through the PPHD local supervisors • The MHT will be integrated to one fixed HF in order to ensure a proper storage of medicine and equipment • The complicated cases identified will be transfer through Mobile teams • Identification of12 male and 12 female CHWs with the consultation of community shura for the implementation of HP by the end of the year • Training of the 24 identified CHWs, on the 3 phases as per BPHS, plus on the danger signs of pregnancy and birth preparedness plans Outcomes

• Effective basic health services is provided to un served and remote communities • Effective implementation and management of four MHT, ensuring Basic Heath care provision, referral system, ANC, PNC, EPI , TB and malnutrition • Vaccination of children under one year on vaccine prevented diseases • vaccination of women on TT, with a focus on child bearing age women • Pregnant women receive ANC and PNC services • 12 Health posts have been created with trained CHWs • Communities and especially women, can have access to basic health services, and be aware of danger signs of pregnancy • Complicated cases are referred on time to the higher level Hfs • Community is aware about the birth preparedness plan • Full management of the MHT as per BPHS implementation system with inclusion of the MHT issues in the PHCC meeting, and health coordination meeting of Logar Province

In spite of 3.5 millions returnees and repatriate from neighboring countries to Afghanistan still more than one million undocumented refugees are living in Islamic Republic of Iran. In may 2011 The Islamic Republic of Iran send an official letter to the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriate of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan concerning that the Islamic Republic of Iran is going to begin the new legalization from August 1st 2011 by issuing an Exit Permit per person at the regional offices of the Bureau for Aliens and Foreign Immigrants Affairs of the Iranian MoI to the 1.4 million undocumented afghans who have participated in the registration which allow them to apply for 3month working permit at one.

According to updated information as of 1 October 2011, the key points of the idea are;

1. The 1.4 million undocumented Afghans include about 1 million individuals in 279,000 families and 0.4 million single individuals.

2. The GoI will issue 3 month working visas (extendable for up to one year in Iran) to those with EP at one of the five Iranian Representative Offices in Afghanistan which is specified on each EP.

3. The validity of the Exit Permit is varied from one month up to one year. Within the given time, the holder must return to his/her place of origin to obtain National ID, passport, Iranian visa and return to Iran to complete the legalization process.

5. The GoI has suspended the issuance of EPs to individuals in family groups and agreed to give an option to the individuals in family groups who have not been issued with EPs to complete the legalization procedure in Iran, obtaining passports at one of Afghan Representative Offices then obtain visa (residency permit) at one of the selected international airports from 22 August 2011 to 19 March 2012 (the end of Year 1390). Otherwise, they should take the procedure in Afghanistan or will be subject to deportation after 20 March 2012 (the beginning of Year 1391). IOM and the MoRR predict that about 0.7 million EP holders would return by the end of August 2012. Among them, IOM and MoRR estimated that about 11% of them would fall under the 11 categories of Extremely Vulnerable Individuals (EVIs) UAM: Unaccompanied Minors, UE: Unaccompanied Elderly, MC: Medical

In addition provision of HIV preventive services, voluntary testing and counseling, provision of Harm Reduction services, and referral of drug users and most at risk population to treatment, and rehabilitation centers are very important. Some medical cases including chronic disorders and mentally issue need specific arrangement and services at borader and needs follow up for intensive medical services. Evidence indicated that the prvevalance of HIV increasing in Iran among Injecting Drug Users both male and femal and the incidence of drug user particulary injecting drug user are increasing among refurgees and repatriate which needs special attention. as the women are most vulnarable and have limited access to health and information so this group of population need spicial attention. Activities

The Cholera outbreak is one of the most important threat to the north east part of the province. Each year especially in the summer season most of the districts in the mentioned part of the province are always affected with acute watery dirrheal disease especially cholera, the out breaks always occurred after floods heavy rains . From the other side the use of un safe water and open defecation practice is the main source of disease . Around 1500 of cases of Cholera in which 65% of patients were women and young children are treated in 2010. In 2011 up to 900 cases of cholera are treated in which up to 70% of women and children were treated. For the better management the cornerstone is the prevention, regular health education and increasing of community awareness. Together with outbreaks there are several kinds of human and natural disaster in the province. North East of the province population faced armed conflicts between tribes and there is always IDPs. These populations always need close attention and quality health services. In the prevention of EPI targeted disease CBAW, pregnant women and also children need vaccination. Nangarhar Public health hospital is a regional hospital not only providing health services to the people of Nangarhar but also to whole eastern provinces of Afghanistan. The hospital is located on main highways of Kabul Turkhum areas. It is the only main hospital responding to the whole emergencies of eastern region . Currently the hospital capacity of emergency service is to response up to 200 cases in general, but considering the limited resources available in EPHS there is extreme need of more assistance in shape of training of staff on response to emergencies, provision of emergency kits.

Enhanced Western - Ghor Geographical Fields Needs

Ghor province with 635,302 population and 83,333 households is located in the western Afghanistan. The province covers an area of 38,666 square km. More than 92% of the province has mountainous or semi mountainous terrain, while a small part of the area is made up of flat land (5%). The province is divided into 9 districts namely, Taiwara, Dolaina, Saghar, Lal-wa-Sarjangal, Passaband, Sherak, Tolak, Dowlatyar and Charsadda. Agricultural and animal husbandry are the primary occupations of inhabitants. Ghor province security is significantly affected by the neighbor provinces especially from the southern part. The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has expanded access to primary health care services for 80% of the Afghan population, prioritizing maternal and child health, through implementation of Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS). However, large sections of the rural population in Ghor province still have limited access to essential healthcare services. Factors that contribute to this lack of access is the mountainous topography of Ghor province, communities that are scattered and live in small pockets (in part due to the geography) and the absence of basic infrastructure such as roads and bridges. During winter season road to most of the districts are blocked which makes travel to and inside the province difficult. These factors also impede physical utilization of existing stationary health facilities as evidenced by the health management and information system (HMIS) of MoPH nationally. According to the assessment of ACTD team, approximately 17% of populations live in excess of more than 10kilometers from the nearest health facility. Of the 2,172 villages in Ghor, only 19 have access to health centers and another 32 are served by private dispensaries (with questionable quality of services), people seeking medical attention must travel more than 10kms to get it. ACTD has been awarded to implement BPHS in Ghor province from December 2011 to July 2013 and will provide quality primary health care services. However, large segments of the population still do not have access to health care. The proposed lifesaving one year project will contribute to improving quality of lives of 108,000 Afghan populations living in underserved and unprivileged communities of Ghor province, and address some of the greatest challenges and emergency health care needs. Women in these scattered and unserved villages are unable to travel and seek health care services. This is

Page 266 of 432. mostly due to lack of transportation means, inability to make a decision to seek health care services even during the pregnancy (husband and mother in laws limits women particularly young married women to travel long distance and seek health care services), lack of information and awareness and other attributing factors such as load of home works, child care and traditional believes. All these factors are contributing to high maternal mortality, low utilization of health care services and low immunization coverage among women and children. As a matter of fact, most of these women who lives in scattered and un -served villages have not visited the city unless they were too sick or were in emergency needs, thus sometimes it was too late for them to reach health facilities due to late arrival and or due to late decision to seek health care services. The target populations live in isolated villages and small-scattered unregistered settlements which do not qualify to BPHS standards and its level of health facilities. Opening additional health facilities through BPHS is not considered cost-effective. Therefore, provision of emergency lifesaving health care services through establishing 4 mobile health team will cover their primary health needs particularly women of reproductive age and children under five years old, with the hope for more standardized and regular services by MoPH in future. Activities

Each mobile team will establish service delivery points (SDPs) which will be visited by MHTs at least once a month. The villages where SDPs are established will be identified based on predefined criteria of the MoPH . However, list of SDPs will be finalized in collaboration and consultation with PPHCC and communities based on the accessibility of population to the SDP by cluster villages, and willingness of the village population for provision of space and support for the MHT. A yearly plan of operation for each MHT will be prepared and shared with PPHCC for approval and the communities for their information. It is envisaged that each team will work 22 days a month, which is roughly 264 working days per year. Taking average travel times as a guide, it is estimated that each service delivery session in a particular SDP will have an average 3 working days duration including travel time. These services will be offered to everyone in the area, but more emphasis will be placed on those with greatest need e.g. women and children. Summary of services provided by MHTs are listed below: • Provide immunization to women and children; • Provide outpatient consultations and treatment through MHT visits; • Provide antenatal consultations to pregnant ladies; • Provide family planning services to CBA; • Provide referral services to complex and complicated deliveries and diseases; • Establishing community based emergency preparedness and response mechanisms; • Establishment of emergency response committees at service delivery points; • Detection of disease outbreaks and early response; • Raising community awareness on health related issues and disasters; • Provide health education during the health services sessions particularly for women; • Birth preparedness planning for safe deliveries of pregnant ladies; Outcomes

• 70% of Women and children in the catchment area (beyond zone c of fixed health facility catchment area) have greater access to basic and primary healthcare services • Around 90% of the communities allow their women and children to get health services due to the close-to-door nature of mobile health services • The served communities of all of the 51 un-served villages have responsive disaster preparedness and response mechanisms • Awareness on importance of primary healthcare services among people enhanced (to acceptable level) in more than 70% of families. • Mortality and morbidity rates among women and children decreased by 5% at the end of the project • Immunization coverage among under-five children and women in the catchment area population increased by 50%

Enhanced Eastern - Kunar Geographical Fields Eastern - Nangarhar Needs

In 2010, a total of 37,869 individuals / 6,710 families were registered through UNHCR’s programme at Mohmandara Encashment Center (MEC), of whom 35,989 individuals / 6,371 families (95%) Afghan returnees to the Eastern Region (ER) as follows: Among the returnees to Esthren Region , about 41% returned from refugee camps in Pakistan, and the rest (59%) returned from urban or non-camp areas. Since the start of the repatriation programme in 2002, approximately 1.1 million refugees have returned to ER of whom 80.3% returned to Nangarhar, 10.6% to Laghman, 8.9% to Kunar and 0.05% to Nuristan. Overall, the results of the needs assessment underline the continuous reintegration difficulties faced by both returnees and receiving communities. According to the assessments conducted on 2010 returnees,

There is an increasingly serious humanitarian crisis resulting from conflict in the border districts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Around 112000 people in 16000 families have been displaced and living in IDP and returnee camps( Chamtala, Tangi, Shekh mesri and Hesarshahi in Ningarhar and Dangam ,Marawara, sarkani and Shigal in Kunar Province) . Most projections indicate that the situation might deteriorate even further in the coming period after extension of military operation in border aria of both countries. More than 2 million Afghans are still in Pakistan and most of them are going to return by force and thus

Page 269 of 432. increase chances of mass repatriation. The current armed attacks are another factors to contribute to the displacement of people inter the province and from other Side of the boarder. Living in the camps with out any sanitation and safe drinking water led to increased the incidence of communicable diseases especially water born diseases. The infant and child mortality is the highest one and no access to reproductive health services lead to highest women mortality in IDP settlement. As in most humanitarian crises, the most vulnerable groups, mother and child, pregnant women and elderly suffered the most. With approaching hot/cold weather and monsoons, mosquitoes, acute diarrhea, gastrointestinal diseases, skin infections, chest infections, stress and trauma are going to make life even more difficult for these displaced families.

Enhanced Northern - Sari Pul Geographical Fields Needs

Saripul province with diverse geography is located in North of Afghanistan. The population of Saripul province is 711,600 from the source of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (RRD) and 527,780 from the source of Central Statistical Office (CSO) living in about 118,600 households in six districts (Sayad, Kohistanat, Sozmaqal, Balkhab, Sancharak and Gosfandi). The province covers an area of 16,385 sq.km. 75% is mountainous or semi-mountain and 25% is plain. Saripul province security is significantly affected by the neighbor provinces especially from the West part (Farayab and Jawzjan Provinces) and East part (Balkh Province).

Considerable improvement in access to the health services through increase in number of health facilities, upgradation of the health facilities and establishment of sub-health centres in the province since introduction of BPHS. However, due to difficult geographical locations, disperse population and low affordability, 10% of the rural population in Saripul province have limited access to essential healthcare services. Factors that contribute to this lack of access is the mountainous topography of Saripul province, communities that are scattered and live in small pockets and the absence of basic infrastructure such as roads and bridges. During winter snowing road communication get blocked make it difficult for the general population, especially for the poorer to travel to the health facilities for getting services. These factors also impeded physical utilization of existing health facilities as evidenced by the health management and information system (HMIS) of MoPH.

Of the 593 villages in Saripul, only 480 have health centers and another 113 have dispensaries more often than not, people seeking medical attention must travel more than 15 km to get it.

The table below outlines number of villages and/or settlements, and populations living in underserved

Page 272 of 432. communities of Saripul province:

Total Province Populations:711,600 Un-served Populations (>3 hours walk from nearest health facility): 71,600 (10.06%) Underserved Villages: 56 Childbearing women: 14,320 Children: 14,320

Childbearing women (14,320) and children (14,320) being more vulnerable prone for morbidity and have highest mortality rate in Afghanistan in these scattered and un- served villages are not able to travel and seek health care services. Women most often are dependent on their family members (husband or mother in law) as MAHRAM to take their permission for visiting health facility and need their company for seeking health services. Delays in such visits often results in severe complications to the mother and to the new coming child.

The target populations live in isolated villages and small-scattered unregistered settlements- as a result they are not meeting BPHS requirement to establish health facilities for them. On the other hand, to establish additional health centers for such scattered population is not cost -effective. Therefore, provision of emergency lifesaving health care services through establishing of 1 mobile health team will cover their primary health needs.

Saripul is a disaster prone province affecting by flood, drought, winter, landslide and conflict. ACTD operates a disaster risk reduction project in Saripul funded by Oxfam Novib. This project will link with Hyogo Framework Action 4. Activities

1. Provide immunization to women (14,320) and children (14,320); 2. Help the provincial health team to response emergencies due to natural disaster and conflict incidents; 3. Provide outpatient consultations and treatment through outreach visits in the priority villages; 4. Provide antenatal consultations to pregnant women (4,296); 5. Provide family planning services to couples; 6. Provide referral services to complex and complicated deliveries and diseases 7. Establish community based emergency preparedness and response mechanisms. 8. Establishment of emergency response committees at service delivery points 9.

Enhanced Western - Badghis Geographical Fields Needs

In Badghis, stationary health care facilities under the Basic Package of Health Care Services (BPHS) cover approximately half of the population within their catchment areas. The remaining population particularly in Balamorghab district has limited access to health care services. Mobile Health Teams (MHT) is an interim solution to provide emergency basic health care services for underserved population who lives in remote areas. Project area beneficiaries suffer from multiple vulnerabilities due to low level of awareness, poverty, geographical remoteness and climatic hardship as well as inaccessibility during winter. The most common causes of morbidity and mortality in these areas that will be remedied by MHT are unavailability of essential medicines, poor maternal and child nutrition, very low level of immunization, common diarrheal and respiratory infectious diseases, unavailability of antenatal consultations and unsafe home deliveries. Insecurity within the province is another challenge that limits women to seek health care services for themselves and their children. Based on the recent assessment which was carried out by ACTD in Badghis province in August 2011, it is found that around 40% of population is located out of catchment areas of any health facilities. This uncovered population is roughly comprised of 42,000 individuals. The available health facilities usually provide health care services only to those who can reach these health facilities easily. This means that the population located in the catchment area (in zone A and some of zone B) can access the services of stationary health facilities, while 40% of the population is located in the white area (zone c and beyond) who need to travel long distance to reach one of these health facilities. But it is not an easy task especially for women (pregnant and non-pregnant) to travel and seek health care services, especially when carry a child. ACTD is currently providing primary health care services in Badghis through BPHS health facilities. Current services include operating 10 BPHS health facilities. ACTD proposes provision of lifesaving emergency health care to these communities through one MHT to provide emergency health care to these populations in areas cut off due to remoteness, weather and insecurity. Running of one MHT will cover white areas of the Balamorghab district and in result will reduce maternal mortality, increase immunization coverage among women and children and reduce child morbidity and

Page 275 of 432. mortality. Activities

The mobile team will establish service delivery points (SDPs) which will be visited at least once a month. The villages where SDPs are established will be identified based on predefined criteria of the MoPH. However, list of SDPs will be finalized in collaboration and consultation with PPHCC and communities based on the accessibility of population to the SDP by cluster villages, and willingness of the village population for provision of space and support for the MHT. A yearly plan of operation for MHT will be prepared and shared with PPHCC for approval and the communities for their information. It is envisaged that the MHT will work 22 days a month, which is roughly 264 working days per year. Taking average travel times as a guide, it is estimated that each service delivery session in a particular SDP will have an average 3 working days duration including travel time. These services will be offered to everyone in the area, but more emphasis will be placed on those with greatest need e.g. women and children. Summary of services provided by MHTs are listed below: • Provide immunization to women and children; • Provide outpatient consultations and treatment through MHT visits; • Provide antenatal consultations to pregnant ladies; • Provide family planning services to CBA; • Provide referral services to complex and complicated deliveries and diseases; • Establishing community based emergency preparedness and response mechanisms; • Establishment of emergency response committees at service delivery points; • Detection of disease outbreaks and early response; • Raising community awareness on health related issues and disasters; • Provide health education during the health services sessions particularly for women; • Birth preparedness planning for safe deliveries of pregnant ladies; Outcomes

1. in the catchment area, around 70% women and children have greater access to basic and primary healthcare services 2. In the target communities 90% of families will allow their women and children to get health services due to the close-to-door nature of mobile health services 3. The served communities in all villages will have responsive disaster preparedness and response plans 4. Awareness on importance of primary healthcare services among people enhanced 5. Mortality and morbidity rates among women and children will be decreased by 5% by the end of the project 6. Immunization coverage among under-five children and women will be increased by 45% in the affected population

Samangan province is located in the Northern region of the country, having 365,300 people. 13.1% of the province has mountainous terrain and semi mountain, 15.8% is mountainous and 61% is plain. It has six districts- Hazrat Sultan, Feroznakhchier, Khuram&Sarbagh, Ruee & Doab, Dara e suf Bala, Dara e Suf Payeen. Agricultural and animal husbandry are the primary occupations of inhabitants. Although overall security condition of the province is satisfactory, however, it is not stable in some parts of the province.

Samangan was among the first provinces where BPHS services were introduced during 2003 and since then the World Bank has been supporting the provision of health services through MoPH in the province. The project management team of ACTD and the Provincial Health Department estimated around 20% of the population is un-covered or under-covered from the access to the health services. Factors that contribute to this lack of access are scattered population, low affordability of the people to get access to the health facilities located at distance. In spite of recent expansion of health infra structure, there are still location with low access to the fixed centers and need to be covered through mobile health services.

20% of populations live in excess of more than 10 kilometers from the nearest health facility. The current available health facilities cannot meet the need of 20% of the people. Local people are campaigning lack of facilities in the 156 villages, which remain un served by BPHS services, as shown in the table below.

As the first responders, prepare the communities and building up their resilience it is a crucial factor for ensuring the timeliness and effectiveness of the response to emergency and disasters. Developing plans and building the capacity to act as first responders at the community level are the initial steps which can reduce the risk of disasters. In addition, it is equally important for vulnerable communities to be more alert and aware and to organize themselves in order to reduce their vulnerability and better cope with extreme events. The affected communities are the first to respond when disasters strike but, almost always, they are the last to receive assistance to strengthen their ability to cope.

It is therefore important that the programs to target the most disaster prone areas and communities and to focus on capacity building which will result reduction in vulnerability. Considering these facts, this project will focus initially on the grass root level (community) to build their capacity aiming to better respond to emergencies and reduce the risk of disasters.

Through this training program, we would target the following groups • Health care workers • Community health workers • Religious leaders • Individuals and families Activities

• Coordination with public health directorate and other local NGOs. o Collection of trainee list from relevant stakeholders. o Selection of a proper place for the training at the community level. • Start training for health facilities staff at central level • Start training for community health workers at health facilities level • Start training for community members (Leaders, Mula Immam and women) at community level.

Methodology: In this training there would be practical sessions and also we will be using posters, leaflets and flip charts to facilitate the training at different levels. It will be a participatory training session and participants will have the chance to practice with each other.

1. Training of health workers: Totally 100 health workers from various districts of Kandahar from BPHS and non BPHS implementers will be trained. And it will be conducted in four batches.

Afghanistan has the second worst Maternal Mortality Rates (MMR) and the worst Infant Mortality Rates (IMR) in the world. For every 100,000 births, 1,575 women die; 12.9% of babies die during or shortly after birth and 19.1% of children die before reaching the age of five. Badakhshan has the worst MMR in the country (6,507/100,000 live births, Hogan et al., 2010) . Contributing to this are low rates of birth spacing and family planning uptake; difficult, or complete lack of, access to basic reproductive health services, and especially Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (EmONC); high prevalence of vaccine preventable diseases; and serious food/nutrient shortages. The geography, weather conditions, and population distribution in Badakhshan create serious challenges in ensuring easy access to health care and delivery services; more than 30% of the population is not covered by any health services, especially in areas cut off during the winter season. The severe shortage of qualified (especially female) staff throughout the province is even more challenging in remote areas and is a significant barrier to improving key health indicators relating to women and children. With support from WHO , UNFPA and private funding, Merlin is already operating 13 Mobile Health teams (MHTs) in 13 districts that are ensuring access to health and referral services for the underserved communities living in these remote districts, which are also affected by growing insecurity. However, support from WHO and the private donor will cease at the end of 2011, and this will leave six districts (Yaftal, Shahr-e-Buzorg, Yamgan, Keran-o-Mejan, Werdoj, Kishem and Baharak) without access to basic health care services (and the most affected are women and children). Special focus is on improving access to reproductive health services, including the referral of complicated obstetric cases. To increase effectiveness and to enable a proper exit strategy, the involvement of local communities in the design, implementation and monitoring of activities through Health Shuras is promoted. In view of the cultural constraints and limits to women's mobility in the target areas, building trust among communities (local leadership, men and women) is of paramount importance for the acceptance, utilisation and long term impact of integrated maternal and child health services and the Safe Motherhood approach. An exit strategy consisting of integration into the BPHS system and ensuring community midwives are identified and trained from within local communities has been designed and implementation of this is going on. Activities

-Operating six MHTs according to the MoPH BPHS standards (2010): each MHT will consist of one male health staff (doctor or nurse), one female health staff (doctor, midwife or nurse), one vaccinator and one health educator/driver. -Ensuring uninterrupted supply of MHTs with medicines and medical materials as per the BPHS essential drug list. -Ensuring that all MHTs are appropriately equipped and also to ensure the safety of teams that have acceptable standards of living in the harsh conditions in which they operate.

Page 286 of 432. -Strengthening Health Shuras in all targeted communities, and conduct health education focusing on maternal health and Gender Based Violence (GBV) related issues. Ensuring epidemiological surveillance and response to all identified outbreaks is provided, with PPHD and WHO support. -Strengthen referral mechanisms jointly with targeted communities. -In coordination with WHO, UNFPA and MoPH, conduct recruitment with the support of local Shuras for candidates within local communities to be enrolled in midwifery projects. -Performing monitoring, reporting (donor and MoPH) and coordination in conjunction with the PPHD at local, provincial and national levels. -Continuing to strengthen local Shuras established at Service Delivery Points to improve access, promote acceptance, and increase utilization of services (in particular maternal and child health services). Outcomes

Output 1: 72,107 people, living more than 10 Km away from static health facilities and affected by additional compounded vulnerabilities (harsh weather and terrain, insecurity, poverty) have access to integrated health and referral services with a particular focus on maternal, child and reproductive health components. Indicators: -At least 1 consultation per person per year for utilisation rate (new OPD consultations, to be disaggregated by gender and age). -At least 90% of pregnant women in target villages/ population clusters attend first ANC visits (achievement registered between Jan 2011 to August 2011 was 87.8%). -65% of women whose delivery was managed by MHT staff receive at least one post -partum visit by a skilled attendant within 42 days of delivery (achievement registered between Jan 2011 to August 2011 was 59.3%). -70% of pregnant women receive at least a second dose of TT2 (achievement registered between Jan 2011 to August 2011 was 63.4%). -At least 60 obstetric complications are referred in a timely manner to higher centres by MHTs (achievement registered in four months between March 2011 to June 2011 was 20) -At least 90% of children under-1 year receive Pentavalent-3 antigens (achievement registered between Jan 2011 to August 2011 was >100%). -100% of MHTs are providing Disease Early Warning System (DEWS) reports on a daily basis during MHT service provision (part of disease surveillance).

Output 2: Consistent and effective partnership and coordination with the PPHD, BPHS implementers, and communities to maintain/improve service utilisation and contribute to the exit strategy. Indicators -100% of PHCC meetings are attended by Merlin and issues related to coordinating MHT services are discussed with stakeholders as needed. -Health Shuras are functioning and appropriately supported in 100% of Service Delivery Points.

(d) Implementation plan: The MHTs will spend one to three nights at each service delivery point to ensure that the communities receive appropriate healthcare. Schedules agreed with the beneficiary communities will be approved by the PPHD, and will not duplicate service provision of other healthcare agencies in the province. The package of services will be in line with MoPH guidelines with a strong focus on life saving referrals of complicated obstetrical cases . With UNICEF’s support, nutrition surveillance, management of acute malnutrition and micronutrient supplementation will be integrated within the package. Control and prevention of epidemics will be strengthened through DEWS implementation, coordination and support from WHO and the PPHD

Health services in Afghanistan are some of the poorest in the whole world, while Infant, child and maternal mortality rates are among the highest. Many hospitals and clinics have been built in the country over the last decade, though they are mostly concentrated in Kabul and urban areas. NGOs provide the bulk of primary health services, whereas the Ministry of Public Health provides the remaining care.

IDP returnees face the same difficulties, if not worse, as the general population in terms of health services and facilities provided in the country due to the disruption and/or destruction of the basic health services in the place of return. They have access to health services at the same level as the population at large (some 80%), however, these services are often inadequate and not easily accessible in rural areas where the majority of persons of concern settle upon repatriation. Especially health services for females and children are the most problematic, one of the reasons being the limited number of female doctors in the rural areas.

Each person is unique. The differences between people, whether actual or perceived, can be defining characteristics that play a central role in determining an individual's opportunities, capacities, needs and vulnerability. Activities

Improve access of IDPs and returning IDPs to health services, promoting their reintegration in their places of origin, by rehabilitating the health facilities in places of return. This will involve rehabilitation of buildings, provision of basic medicines and medical equipment. The main areas of intervention will be in Kandahar, Herat and Jalalabad. Rehabilitation of maternity wards will be a priority, focusing on improving the infant mortality rate and general health services for females.

Improve health facilities in IDP settlements across the country by running mobile health clinics. The settlements in Kabul will be the focus of this type of intervention. UNHCR will make sure to include female doctors in the mobile teams thus aiming to serve the female population.

AGDM principles will be at the base of planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating of projects in Afghanistan, thus seeking to ensure that all persons of concern enjoy their rights on an equal footing and are able to participate fully in the decisions that affect their lives and the lives of their family members and

Page 289 of 432. communities. Outcomes

Mobile health clinics established in IDP settlements in Kabul as well as in the south, west, east and northern regions of the country.

Rehabilitation of health structures, provision of equipment and medicines and general access to health facilities improved, with a clear focus on services for females and children.

Projects implemented will be evaluated keeping in mind equality and full participation as guiding principles.

Although it is claimed that primary health care services under the Basic Package of Services (BPHS) has reached to around 80% population of Afghanistan, the ground realities and observations in most provinces of the country show that a significant mass of people of the deeply seated and insecure areas still cannot access basic and direly needed health services. As a consequence, a considerably large number of people – especially women and children – of the remote and insecure areas is facing constant threats of morbidity and mortality from outbreaks, vaccine preventable diseases, conditions related to pregnancy, and malnutrition. Among the others, in two provinces – Bamyan and Faryab – where AADA is currently providing health services through BPHS, and the UNFPA funded Mobile Health Units (MHUs) and Health Sub-centers (SCs) it has been observed that population living in the farthest areas of districts, and areas with worsening security situation cannot access basic primary health care services. These areas are normally not covered by fixed health centers due to the long distance involved, geographic and seasonal hardship and insecurity. People of these areas suffer a great deal of human and economic losses due to low level of awareness, poverty (no proper means of transportation to health facilities), geographical remoteness and climatic hardship during winter. The most common causes of morbidity and mortality in these areas, which could be effectively dealt through with basic health services are unavailability of essential medicines, poor maternal and child nutrition, very low level of immunization, common diarrhea and respiratory infectious diseases, unavailability of antenatal consultations and unsafe home deliveries. Over the last one year, AADA effectively responded to the dire needs of these communities through health services provided by 2 MHUs in Bamyan, and 2 MHUs and 2 SCs in Faryab provinces. These services have not only fulfilled the most striking basic health needs of the women and children, but also raised the awareness of people on basic health/hygiene concepts and ways of dealing with diseases. Moreover, health services of the MHUs and SCs have been complemented with establishment of community-based mechanisms of disaster preparedness and response through facilitating coordination, planning and preparedness for common disasters of the regions. Continuation of the existing health services in remote areas of Bamyan and Faryab through MHUs and SCs will not only build on the achievements attained so far, but will also lead to increasingly better preparedness and response to disease outbreaks and disasters. This proposal is thus submitted to the CAP emergency funding mechanism for continuation of the 4 MHUs and 2 SCs during the year 201 Activities

During the 2012, AADA will implement the following activities along with the services provided by MHUs and SCS in Bamyan and Faryab provinces chiefly covering the difficult-to-reach and under-served areas. These activities comprise services related to essential basic health care, emergency health preparedness and

Page 291 of 432. response, and community awareness. • Provision of services through 1 Sub Center and 2 mobile health teams (MHTs) in Bamyan and 1 Sub Center and 2 mobile health teams (MHTs) in Faryab. o Provision of outpatient consultations and treatment through static SCs and during the visit of MHU teams; o Provision of immunization to women and children; o Provision of antenatal consultations to pregnant ladies; o Provision of family planning services to CBAs; o Provision of referral services to complex and complicated disease cases. • Establishing and strengthening community based emergency preparedness and response mechanisms. o Establishment of village-level emergency response committees; o Facilitation of planning and coordination sessions of emergency response committees; o Establishing linkage and coordination of the village-level emergency response committees with district and province level mechanisms; o Detection and communication of disease outbreaks and other emergencies to higher levels; • Raising community awareness on health and disasters. o Holding health education sessions during the health services sessions; o Holding sessions on community leadership, basic concepts of emergency preparedness and response to village-level emergency response committees; o Assisting families in planning for safe deliveries of pregnant ladies; Outcomes

The expected outcomes of services provided through the proposed emergency intervention will culminate in realization of the basic and dire health needs of a total 200,000 population through 1 Sub Center and 2 mobile health teams (MHTs) in Bamyan and 1 Sub Center and 2 mobile health teams (MHTs) in Faryab, yet laying foundation for more sustainable and community-led mechanisms in longer term.

The mobile health team will make an estimated 4,000 antenatal visits (first), and would immunize an estimated 1500 women throughout the year. Through this project, 1200 children under 1 will be fully immunized along with vitamin A supplement distributed to them. The project will also achieve a total contraceptive users of 20000 throughout the length of project. All this will significantly reduce maternal, neonatal and childhood morbidity and mortality as consequence of the above mentioned outcomes as well as the availability of essential diagnostic and treatment facilities close to the community; immunization of women and children against six vaccine preventable diseases;supported by the continuous availability of family planning services; and preparedness of pregnant ladies for safe delivery.

Community based emergency health preparedness and response mechanisms would also be supported through the MHTs and SCs of this project. The remotely seated communities will linked with higher level health and emergency response mechanisms and facilities by establishing a functional referral system.

Community empowerment and self-reliance is enhanced through establishment of village-level coordination mechanisms and awareness rising. The mobile health team will be linked to approximately 250 village level community health shuras that will be significantly instrumental in the sustainability of the project.

Afghanistan has made considerable progress in expanding the network of health services. Currently, 60% of people have access within 2 hours to the nearest health facility (AHS/2006). Populations residing in difficult terrains, rural and remote provinces are the most disadvantaged in terms of access to basic health services . These vulnerabilities are exacerbated in face of natural disasters and internal displacements due to intensification of conflict. Provinces of Kandhar, Helmand and Nimroze in Southern Region; Badghis in Western Region and Nooristan in Eastern region are suffering prolonged conflict situation which has under mined the developmental work, impeded access to life saving health services and created conflict induced IDPs. UNHCR has reported more than 470,000 IDPs so far (2011) taking into account population movements due to in security or natural disasters. Around 2.6 million population in North western and central region provinces of Samangan, Balkh, Saripul, Jawzjan,Faryab, Ghor, Hirat, Badghis, Bamyan, Takhar, Kunduz, Badakhshan, Daikundi and Baghlan is facing drought, low crop yield and food insecurity due to low rain and snow fall in 2010 2011. The anticipated rise in malnutrition, lowered immunity and lack of economic means to access health care services need an urgent attention to disaster risk reduction interventions like building health workers capacity and community resilience as well as response preparedness.

Page 294 of 432. Outbreaks of endemic diseases are a common occurrence and children in emergency face additional challenge of reduced immunity and a greater vulnerability to infectious diseases like measles, acute watery diarrhoea and respiratory infections. The project will supplement the BPHS interventions in these areas by additional outreach to remote under served areas and provisions of pregnancy, maternity and new born care and supplies of paediatric medications and immunization services. Pregnant women are highly vulnerable in emergency and the capacity of local BPHS NGOs needs to be bolstered for an immediate, gender sensitive and adequate response. The modality of implementation will be relying more on planned outreach and mobile services with enhanced capacity of the NGOs for referral and transportation of complications. Immunization and measles campaigns will be conducted accompanied by other Primary health Care services such as micro nutrient supplementation, ORS, zinc etc. Activities

Enhanced Capital - Kabul Geographical Fields Needs

Decades of intense conflict and regular environmental disasters have taken a heavy toll on Afghanistan with the poorest majority of the population often being hardest hit with the consequence that millions of Afghans were left with little choice but to leave their places of origin in search of a safer environment and improved opportunities for survival. Most recently and crucially however, the last few years of the conflict has seen a gradual expansion of insecurity beyond the traditional southern provinces at a time when the repatriation of Afghan refugees has been slowly but steadily increasing. Displaced persons often returned to find severely damaged infrastructure poor, irregular basic services and unclear land -rights in a persistently insecure environment.

As such displacement of families across the country has persisted over many years and across regularly changing locations. Determining the cause of displacement today has become a complex task given that families often choose their locations based on seasonal patterns, security concerns, and economic opportunity . Cities like Kabul, Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif, are often locations chosen for their economic potential as much as for their promise of greater security, however these cities themselves face an added pressure on limited and generally overstretched resources and services.

Displaced families in Kabul Province and in particular within Kabul District, face a highly uncertain and marginalised existence, that has directly contributed to a self -perpetuating poverty-cycle that today places them amongst the most vulnerable populations in Afghanistan.To date, WHH has worked closely with 25 communities totalling over 2700 families who live below the poverty line in shelters and tents that provide inadequate protection from prevailing harsh environmental conditions. These informal settlements spring up across Kabul in whatever open spaces are available and operate in extremely marginalised and completely unsustainable conditions that perpetuate a cycle of poverty which essentially feeds on the consequences of a lack of access to the most basic of services. UNHCR statistics on camps and informal settlements within Kabul place the total population at over 18,000 persons.

WHH's programme focuses on 2 types of beneficiaries. Within the Kabul Municipal Districts (Police Districts), WHH targets informal settlements in which families have often lived for multiple years following their original displacement from their places of origin early in the current conflict. These communities live in makeshift settlements composed of a mixture of tents and mud shelters. Communities generally have limited access to even the most basic public services. In summer they struggle with availability of clean potable water, and in winter with insufficient warmth and a high level of food insecurity. Within these marginalised communities exist further inequalities with the ‘victims’ being widows, children, disabled persons, and the infirm. Many of those targeted seek alternative informal income generation opportunities putting them at heightened personal risk . Families are highly dependent within their immediate social group for support, with a high percentage (96%

Page 297 of 432. according to data collected in August 2011) having borrowed from others to support their meagre lifestyles.

The second target group consists of IDPs that either a) have returned to settle on land that they have been given or b) have recently arrived in the central region and have squatted on land outside of Kabul district . These groups, have faced similar hardships as those living in Kabul Informal Settlements, but face the added difficulty that they have generally only recently settled in their current locations, and are thus devoid of coping mechanisms and even the most basic infrastructure. Settlement areas are generally underdeveloped and devoid of services and structures that would promote the protection of their families. Activities

Provision of Basic Health Services to Displacement Camps and KIS Settlements:

Welthungerhilfe currently runs four tent-based basic health centres and one mobile clinic across camps within the KIS camps. These clinics are staffed by a team of doctors, midwives, nurses and pharmacists and provide out-patient care as well as free medication to all its patients. Supported by the Ministry of Public Health through a Memorandum of Understanding, Welthungerhilfe proposes to continue these services whilst adding one further mobile clinic that will focus on supporting communities beyond Kabul District, in particular providing first-response health support to newly established camps or on the basis of recommendations / requests from UNHCR/IOM/UNOCHA. Health services will run for the full period of the project.

In addition to providing the basic OPD services, the health team will also support particularly difficult diagnoses with the necessary laboratory testing and/or referral to a formal comprehensive hospital/clinic. This component of the health service programme will gradually be enhanced by launching a scheme in which mobile services are gradually integrated into the nearest Basic Health Service run by the MoPH. The aim being to sensitise the personnel of the centres that often ignore patients from camps and encourage the families in camps to develop confidence in the services these centres provide.

Moreover, in continuation of its current partnerships, Welthungerhilfe will retain its collaboration with the French NGO ACF, whereby child-malnutrition cases are identified and tracked by Welthungerhilfe ’s medical team and treated by ACF specialists. A referral system is already in place and similar cooperations are being developed with other NGOs offering specialised services.

Welthungerhilfe monitors its patient loads and cases through a database constructed on the basis of the MoPH's primary diagnosis terms. These are compiled through the tracking of patient ID numbers and allow the health team to identify significant changes in caseloads and to share this information accordingly. As part of this project, the database will be further expanded to enhance the quality of patient care and to improve the ability to share the information and track patients that by default of their 'displaced' status may be evicted or move on short notice.

Clinics shall continue to provide midwife outreach, through the provision of delivery kits and pre -natal and post-natal support. Midwives further participate in outreach activities to discuss health issues and primarily health risks with women. Health and hygiene materials developed by Welthungerhilfe as part of its ongoing programme in partnership with ASCHIANA which have been designed to focus on the specific risks, hazards and living conditions in camps will be used for these outreach activities. All members of the health teams will participate in outreach activities using the database to identify trends in cases and diagnoses in order to target the information specifically to those who have been most susceptible to the given conditions.

Finally, the project will train active members of the communities (men and women in equal measure) on basic first aid in order to respond to emergency cases and take the appropriate action to ensure that severely ill patients are taken for emergency care. These individuals will be equipped with a first aid kit and will be involved actively in the running of the WHH clinics under the supervision of the WHH health team. As far as possible WHH will ensure that these individuals are also linked to the MoPH basic health structures and their contacts regularly shared. Outcomes

• 4 tent-based basic health units and 2 mobile health clinics are run and acute health problems and preventable diseases are stabilised through the provision of care; • Isolated targeted communities receive primary health care services during or following extreme weather conditions or as a consequence of environmental hazards; • At least 80 individuals are trained on first aid, equipped with a first aid kit and are active in the running of

The Central and Southern provinces are still a stronghold of Armed Opposition Group (AOG). Many of Southern and Central areas are witnessing daily fighting. The vast majority of victims are civilian, as collateral damage of fire fighting, suicide bombings, air strikes and mine explosions. Last year IMF massive intervention in Helmand and Kandahar resulted in diversification and diffusion of insurgency, as the few hundred surrenders through Afghan Peace & Reintegration Program were not enough to destabilize the AOG manpower. The numbers of AOG attacks in Helmand province have been increased of 89% in Q3 2011 (2,226 attacks) as compared in Q3 in 2010 (1,178). In Ghazni there was a growth of 21% in Q3 2011 (1,342) in respect to 2010 (1,111). Considering the Q2 of 2009 and the Q2 of 2011 we had an increase of attacks also in Logar of 25% (89 in Q2 2009 and 111 in Q2 2011) and in Wardak of 29% (143 in Q2 2009 and 185 in Q2 2011). Increased insecurity significantly impaired the health staff willingness to work in these areas as well as patients ’ mobility. The number of functioning health facilities is insufficient to answer even to the essential health needs of the population and the capacity to deal with thousands of war wounded is inexistent at peripheral level. Insecurity is also the cause of the absolute absence of a health referral system (ambulance) between the districts and the provinces capital.

Page 300 of 432. EMERGENCY NGO is managing two Surgical Centres for war-wounded patients, one in Kabul and one in Lashkar-gah (Helmand province capital). Severely injured war wounded patients from across the country are referred to these hospitals for surgical treatment. During the whole 2010 the number of admission of war casualties in Helmand significantly increased as compared with previous years; the monthly average of war related admissions was 86 in 2008, 89 in 2009 and 126 during 2010 (monthly average increased >42%). Also in EMERGENCY Surgical Centre in Kabul the monthly average of war related admissions increased from 108 in 2010 to 144 in 2011. The expansion and intensification of conflicts in some of the districts of these provinces resulted in closure/suspension of activities of public health facilities, leaving the populations without any access to even essential health services, including life-saving stabilization and referral system of trauma patients. To support the communities trapped in conflict areas, EMERGENCY has opened in the last years six First Aid Posts (FAPs) (Grishk, Sangin, Garmsir, Maidan Shar, Azrà, Ghazni) located within a maximum range of 6 hours driving from the major hospitals in Kabul and Lashkar-gah. Thanks to the well functioning of these trauma FAPs during these years, it has been proved that a referral system between these areas and hospitals was extremely effective. For this reason EMERGENCY is progressing managing six FAPs and decided to open three new FAP in other areas identified and assessed as with similar situation: Marjia District, Nad-Ali District and Pul-I-Alam City. In Helmand, in Marjia and Nad-Ali Districts, and in Logar (Pul-I-Alam) the security situation is volatile, the roads are insecure and the public health facilities are functioning intermittently; the local communities and other health stakeholders had requested an intervention by EMERGENCY to address the increasing need for health assistance. A feasibility study was conducted by EMERGENCY, and the MoPH and local community had offered 3 buildings for the establishment of temporary FAPs. The proposed project is aiming to expand this approach to respond to the growing needs of Afghan population living in conflict-affected areas. The management of the existing six FAPs and the establishment of new three trauma FAPs, functioning 24/7 and staffed with personnel trained to stabilize and treat surgical emergencies (war wounded) and having referral capacity will address an urgent humanitarian gap. Activities

The emergency trauma services will be provided through 9 EMERGENCY FAPs that will function 24/7 to ensure optimal access to life saving medical services for the targeted communities living in conflict affected districts. The temporary clinics’ teams will include qualified nurses and health assistants already trained in trauma management by EMERGENCY staff and with clinical experience. All FAPs will have an ambulance 24/7. The minor to moderate cases (minor surgery, prevention of infection, etc) will be treated in the clinics and the severely injured/ill patients will be referred to one of the EMERGENCY hospitals. Additional medicines and medical supplies will be provided to all the EMERGENCY’s facilities according to the increased number of referred patients.

- Strengthen 2 EMERGENCY Surgical Centres in Kabul and Lashkar-gah due to the increase of war related patients. -Maintain 6 trauma FAPs in in Helmand, Wardak, Ghazni, Logar and Kabul provinces providing 24/7 emergency trauma services as well as treatment of other acute medical emergencies. -Establish and run 3 temporary trauma FAPs in Helmand Province (Nad-Ali, Marjia) and in Logar Province (Pul-I-Alam); minor repair of the rooms provided by MoPH and/or communities, provision of emergency equipment and adequate staffing with qualified nurses trained and coached in trauma hospitals run by EMERGENCY. -Provide referral system by ambulance to severely injured patients from EMERGENCY FAPs to EMERGENCY hospitals. -Ensure that communities are well aware of the availability of these services through engagement with local authorities and regularly collect, compile and analyze health statistics in relation to security situation ’s developments to ensure the relevance of intervention, and adapt to the rapidly evolving context. Outcomes

Specific Objective 1: -2 EMERGENCY Surgical Centres running in Kabul and Lashkar-gah cities -9 temporary trauma EMERGENCY FAPs functioning in Helmand, Wardak, Logar, Kabul and Gazni provinces -100% war wounded patients timely treated in EMERGENCY hospitals and FAPs in one year

Specific Objective 2: -100% of severely injured patients having access to EMERGENCY Surgical Centres through referral system in one year.

In 2011, insecurity and armed conflict continued to severely constrain road travel for humanitarian workers between cities. Most travel is done by air, and to date there are limited domestic air carriers that operate in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

To ensure humanitarian workers get to locations where their intervention is required, UNHAS plans to provide safe, efficient and reliable air transport service.

The UNHAS fleet will also provide capacity for rapid staff relocation/evacuation in case of sudden deterioration in the already precarious situation. Medical facilities are also inadequate in the regional cities and humanitarian workers requiring medical care must be evacuated to Kabul. Activities

The UNHAS fleet will comprise of two Dash-8 aircraft each with 37 seats capacity and possible addition of B-200 Kingair aircraft to cover additional regional airports if the security situation allows.

The main locations that will be served will be Kabul, Jalalabad, Hirat, Bamian, Kandahar, Kunduz, Faizabad, Mazar-e-Sherif, Farah, Maimana, Islamabad and Tirinkot. Additional locations targetted to be opened include Taloqay, Chakhcharan, Nili, Qala-e-naw, Gardez and Khost. Outcomes

It is planned that, in 2012, this fleet will fly a minimum of 2160 hours and transport 24000 passengers and air freight 10 metric tonnes of light cargo. Monthly targets are; 2000 passengers flown per month; 180 hours flown per month; 0.83mt of light cargo moved per month; a minimum of 12 locations regularly serviced per month; and all medical/security evacuations done each month.

Since 2002 over 5.7 million Afghans have returned to their homeland (4.6 million with the assistance of UNHCR and relevant governments), which represents about one quarter of the estimated population of Afghanistan. UNHCR projects that the number of refugees seeking to voluntarily repatriate from neighbouring countries in 2012 will be up to 162,000 refugees.

Returning refugees have significant initial return needs upon return to their home communities, including shelter, access to basic services, protection and livelihood support. A recent Community -based Snapshot Survey conducted by UNHCR in 2011 identified that up to 40% of the 4.6 million UNHCR assisted returning refugees have not had their initial return assistance needs met. Women returnees have particular hardships, and fewer than 1% have access to land and are much less likely to be engaged in agriculture or livestock activities, compared to women in the return community. Men returnees are less likely than their neighbours to have sufficient livelihood opportunities. High return villages and areas are less likely to have sufficient water and sanitation capacity to address the needs of returnees. Of particular concern are landless returning refugees, who may need access to legal services to secure land tenure.

Returning refugees whose return needs have not been met are at risk of subsequent displacement. Up to 16% have departed their return communities, usually to address basic needs including livelihood, and a significant percentage may return to their country of asylum. Activities

For the up to 162,000 refugees wishing to voluntarily repatriate from neighbouring countries, UNHCR ’s priority is to facilitate their return through a contribution to cover their transport costs as well as provide immediate social, health and mine awareness counseling upon return through five voluntary repatriation centres. For people who are cross border displaced, UNHCR will immediately assess their needs and respond to their protection and assistance needs through a provision of domestic household items, and thereafter assess interim needs and pursue durable solutions on their behalf.

Page 305 of 432. Upon their return to their home communities, UNHCR will provide initial return assistance, including household and community based interventions. UNHCR’s priority is to ensure that returning refugee conditions are at parity with the local community, especially in terms of basic services, protection and access to livelihood support. Through this humanitarian appeal and action plan, UNHCR plans to provide up to 20,000 with basic one or two room shelters, up to 150,000 returnees with access to water, provide up to 60,000 families with livelihood support, up to 1 million returnees with legal aid support and through household and community interventions access for up to 200,000 people.

UNHCR will target community based initial return assistance in high return areas, with particular attention to communities in Kabul, Nangarhar, Kunduz, Baghlan and Kandahar. To optimize impact for returnees and their home communities, UNHCR will identify up to 36 locations in high return areas to target initial return assistance. This does not however exclude that initial return assistance will be provided in other areas and to households in other parts of the country. Outcomes

• 162,000 returning refugees are provided with cash grants to cover their immediate reintegration as well as their transportation to destination. • Returnee monitoring is conducted at the voluntary repatriation centres, as well as at places of return to identify and to respond to protection and assistance needs. • Up to 20,000 vulnerable returnee families are able to construct shelters, primarily in the Eastern, Central, Western, Southern and Northern regions of the country. • Over 400 water points are constructed/reconstructed providing water to some 150,000 returnees; • Up to 200,000 individuals benefit from livelihood assistance support. • The basic needs of over 50,000 families (300,000 individuals) for basic household items are met; • Referral networks to provide services to 2,400 EVIs are strengthened and assistance is delivered to beneficiaries. • Basic legal services are provided to returnees through strengthened access to justice and legal solutions, with primary focus on the needs of vulnerable women and girls. • Necessary logistics capacity, including warehouses and a fleet of trucks, are maintained and available to support reintegration. • UNHCR projects are closely monitored. • The capacity of MoRR and the provincial Departments of Refugees and Repatriation (DoRRs) is enhanced to manage the return and reintegration of Afghan refugees.

Enhanced North Eastern - Badakhshan Geographical Fields Needs

Badakhshan is one of the most food insecure provinces in Afghanistan. Through this project, Medair will continue to target the most vulnerable districts in Badakhshan. The terrain in the project region is extremely mountainous. The population relies primarily upon subsistence farming with rain fed wheat and barley being the main crops grown, supplemented with small scale livestock rearing. Communities live in isolated areas with little economic activity and limited access to markets, difficult and inadequate access to health care services, and poor access to safe drinking water. Under five mortality in Afghanistan is ranked second highest in the world by UNICEF. In northern Badakhshan, in 2009, the under five mortality rate was reported as 323 per 1000 live births; even higher than the national figure of 199 per 1000 live births

Data from health facilities and community MUAC screening in the project region raised concerns about possible emergency levels of acute malnutrition. A 2010 baseline survey by Medair in one district of the current project area identified multiple factors contributing to poor nutrition including: insufficient access to health facilities; poor health seeking behaviour; household food insecurity; poor infant and young child feeding practices; lack of health/hygiene knowledge; lack of clean water; religious barriers; and illiteracy. The impact of this mostly felt by women and children. In July 2011 a rapid MUAC assessment of the project area showed evidence of an on going and potentially worsening nutritional emergency, with a global acute malnutrition (GAM) rate of 30.1%

Community members have fallen back on traditional coping mechanisms to deal with the natural disasters affecting them in the last decade. These include: sale of animals to buy food and fodder; sale of agriculture assets; borrowing money or food from wealthier families; sending sons to serve in the national army or work as migrant workers; or even marrying their very young daughters to benefit from the required dowry payment. This results in a vicious cycle of debt, and vulnerable households with fewer and fewer assets to sell or trade, further reducing the quantity and quality of food available. This reduced coping ability combined with the current drought in the North of Afghanistan and resultant poor harvest is cause for grave concern. The current alarming nutritional situation in Badakhshan can be expected to deteriorate further in 2012.

Medair programme response Medair is currently working in three of the most vulnerable districts in Badakhshan Yawan, Kohistan and Raghistan. The current programme provides community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) for children under five and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) through four health facilities, in line with the Afghan Ministry of Health national policy. Medair also provides nutrition education outreach using the proven Care Group model, training women to enable other women to improve the health and nutrition of themselves and their families. Male community moblisers reach out to the men to explain the project and provide basic nutrition messages.

Page 307 of 432.

From April to August 2011, 1,787 children and 2,440 women were admitted for treatment of acute malnutrition. To date, 577 female volunteers have been recruited and trained and are currently reaching 5,133 households with nutrition messages and increased awareness of nutrition services, In 2012 Medair will continue supporting intergrated CMAM through the health services as well as continuing the behavior change activities. Although this is a successful project, the limited coverage of the health system and lack of funding for additional (mobile) community nutrition centers means that the current project is only able to reach about half of the population of these districts Activities result 1: CMAM treatment in 4 clinics and 3 mobile nutrition teams.

Page 308 of 432. Outcomes

Medair is seeking funding to ensure continuation of current facility -based CMAM and community nutrition education, and to enable essential community expansion of the programme to reach the remaining population of this vulnerable project area. In addition to continuing to provide treatment of severe and moderate acute malnutrition at four health facilities, coverage will be increased through the introduction of mobile nutrition teams serving decentralized outreach sites for treatment of acute malnutrition. This will be complemented by an expansion of Care Group community nutrition education activities to promote prevention and early care seeking for health and nutrition services as well. .

The project will have the following objectives: • Improved access to effective nutritional treatment for acutely malnourished children under five and vulnerable pregnant and lactating women • Increased household level awareness and practice of health and nutrition promoting behaviors • Strengthened MoPH capacity to prevent and respond to acute malnutrition

Needs 1. Priority and Situation Analysis:

Three of the four provinces are classified as priority areas due to the current drought affecting the area where water and food is urgently needed. This project is intended to support under five children and lactating and pregnant women who might suffer from malnutrition related illnesses due to food unavailability and access to poor and unwholesome water. The project will address goal number 4 and 5 under the MDGs to ensure the survival of under five children and reduce maternal deaths.

2. Critical Problems and Needs:

This project is scheduled to be implemented in four Provinces of Faryab, Sarepul, Paktya, and Balkh, with a total of 27 districts (Faryab 6, Sarepul 4, Paktya 9, Balkh 8) based on the vulnerability to the drought. The three of the four provinces are from the areas where it is affected by the adverse drought. The provinces have a total population of 2,273,390 people of which 454,678 are children under 5 years. According to the survey which was conducted in September, 2011 by Oxfam Novib as part of the ongoing programme, the prevalence of SAM is at 1.9% in Balkh, 4.8% in Sarepul 3.1% in Faryab and 5.6 % in Paktya whilst GAM is at 9.0% in Balkh, 13.6% in Faryab, 13.9% in Saripul and 17.1% in Paktya. The assessment also showed a significant difference

Page 310 of 432. in the prevalence of both SAM and GAM between boys and girls. Overall, the four provinces showed an average SAM of 4.4% for boys and 2.8% for girls. The prevalence of MAM among the pregnant and lactating mothers was at 30.7% which is above the national average of 20%. Though the figures might be seen to be below the drought being experienced is expected to worsen the rates. This project will ensure the survival of children and prevent further deterioration of the quality of life of children and women in the targeted four provinces. Page 1 of 3

Oxfam Novib, through its partners (ACTD, SAF, and CHA) will treat all children and women suffering from acute malnutrition through community-based management of malnutrition (CMAM). It is anticipated that, with the emerging drought in the area, high levels of moderate and severe malnutrition among children under five children and pregnant and lactating women will be experienced. In order to ensure the survival of the children affected by the drought, Oxfam Novib and its partner will ensure the provision of quality CMAM to the community members through capacity building to the service provider whilst at the same time educate men and women on appropriate infant feeding more especially during this critical time where both food and water availability is at stake. This will focus on educating the mothers, grandmothers on appropriate foods and other cultural practices that influence the getting in of malnutrition like the importance of feeding a child colostrums and weaning foods. Considering that food in the home is provided by men and that they are the major decision makers, they will also be provided with information on good food and feeding practice and how they can support their wives in providing their children appropriate foods. This will be done to ensure that nutritional related adverse effects experienced by the children and women in the area will be alleviated. Deliberate efforts will also be put in place to explore why there is higher prevalence of malnutrition in boys compared with girls. Activities

ACTIVITIES

Previous Efforts and the Gaps:

With support from UNICEF, an integrated IYCF and CMAM project is being implemented in four provinces of Balkh, Sarepul, Faryab and Paktya Provinces. Apart from this project, BPHS is also being implemented by our partners who are also proposed to spearhead this proposal. The current project is experiencing an increase in the number of under five children being admitted in the nutrition programme. It is expected that this project will fill the gap experienced by the BPHS and care will be taken to ensure that there will be no duplication in the delivery of the project interventions. The interventions that have been implemented include: maternal and new born health, child health and immunization, public nutrition, which includes micronutrient supplementation and treatment of micronutrient, communicable disease control, and supply of essential drugs. These activities will continue to be implemented under the BPHS. However, these activities have been provided in a normal situation. With the emerging drought, Oxfam Novib, in close collaboration, has noted a need for the introduction of CMAM as a way of addressing malnutrition in such a situation as recommended by WHO and UNICEF. CMAM helps to reach more malnourished children and addresses malnutrition within such a short period of time especially in times of emergency as being currently experienced by Afghanistan. It allows community participation as mothers take an active part in caring for malnourished children at home whilst at the same time taking care of the other children left at home.

Project Activities:

Oxfam Novib’s Intervention: Oxfam Novib, through its partner organization, SAF,ACTD and CHA, will implement a high quality IYCF and CMAM Project with the aim of preventing the impact of the drought in Faryab, Sarepul, and Balkh and curb the worst indicators experienced in Paktya to children under five years and pregnant and lactating women through the following interventions: a) Community education and counseling on Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) b) Supplementary Feeding Programme (SFP) c) Out Patient Therapeutic Care Programme (OTP) d) Stabilisation centres (SC)

Conclusion:

Page 311 of 432. This situation has left the affected communities to severe food insecurity as they have lost their livelihood source, their shelter, and their water sources. Adding salt to this wound, the blockage of the road has resulted into higher food scarcity in the affected areas. The emerging drought has necessitated the continuation of the project as the malnutrition indicators remain above the expected levels .MAM among the pregnant and lactating mothers is at 30.7% compared to the national average of 20% and SAM prevalence of 5.6% and 4.8% in Paktya and Sarepul respectively against an average of 4.7% Outcomes

Impact A:

• Reduced number of children suffering from SAM • Increased cure rate • Reduced nutrition related mortality and morbidity rates

Expected Outcome • 1,200 community health workers (male and female) trained in community mobilisation, screening and referral to the nearest health facility. • 76 health facilities providing IYCF counseling as part of MCH services • 30 doctors, nurses, community midwives and CHWs demonstrate correct counseling skills in IYCF and CMAM. • all women who deliver at the health facilities will receive breastfeeding and CMAM counseling.

Impact B:

Decreased nutrition related mortality rate Decreased maternal mortality rate

Expected Outcome

• 43,992 boys and girls accessing therapeutic feeding in their nearest health facilities • 37,093 pregnant and lactating women accessing therapeutic care services in their communities • 76 killed health personnel who can offer quality therapeutic services.

Despite multiple years of international investment and support to the Afghan government the country ’s indicators continue to rank near the bottom of the world list. The conflict has been worsened throughout the course of the last years, creating new waves of displacement and / or deteriorating the already precarious living conditions of part of the population. The vulnerability of the population is further exacerbated by recurring natural disasters which affect considerable numbers of people each year.With regards to nutrition indicators, few reliable and recent data are available. At national level, the last nutritional data gathered are dated of 2004, corresponding to the national nutrition survey conducted by the MoPH (with support of several agencies, including ACF). The lack of nutritional data is concerning especially considering the overall food insecurity of the Afghan population and its high vulnerability to socio-economic changes. In the efforts to set up a national nutrition surveillance system, UNICEF and MoPH objective for 2010 was to create a pool of human resources in the country who are familiar with the methodology and who will be able to plan and coordinate nutrition surveys /assessments. Despite efforts, nutrition surveillance could not be set up mainly due to the lack of qualified and available human resources.Nevertheless, multiple agencies have conducted surveys or rapid assessments over the past years, but results are not always recognized by the MoPH as agencies did not follow up the MoPH validation process or applied methodologies not validated at international level (such as SMART, standardized methodology international recognized). Hence, the gap of nutrition surveillance and nutrition situation monitoring needed to be tackled in order to design the most appropriate response. Nutrition monitoring was part of the ACF project implemented up to 2008 in Afghanistan and was the main focus for the reintroduction of ACF within the nutrition sphere in Afghanistan by 2010. The lack of reliable data and the absence of actors able to conduct nutrition surveys or rapid nutrition assessments were important reasons for ACF to resume a nutrition presence in the country. In 2011, a project of nutrition surveillance system has been approved by UNICEF. A core surveyor team was created and trained by ACF in order to conduct 6 nutrition surveys over a 12 months period with 4 nutrition cluster partners. Capacity building of nutrition cluster members was the key point of this project. Partners were trained on how to conduct nutrition surveys by applying SMART methodology and how to conduct rapid nutrition assessment in case of emergency. A rapid nutrition assessment guideline was created in 2011 to ensure that any nutrition actors operating in Afghanistan is using the same methodology, allowing comparisons between several assessments. In addition, an Assessment Working Group (AWG) was created through the

Page 313 of 432. nutrition cluster body and chaired by ACF. The aim of the AWG is to coordinate all nutrition surveillance activities in the country. Gender would be mainstreamed throughout the project cycle. This project focuses specifically on pregnant and lactating women and children under 5 years. This project would be replicated in 2012: - To reinforce the capacity building of the 4 agencies involved in the project in 2011: ACF core survey team will support the partners to replicate nutrition surveys in 2012; - To build the capacity of 4 additional agencies: Key members of the NGO partners will be trained on how to implement nutrition surveillance activities; - To build the capacity of the Public Nutrition Department Staff, MoPH; - To coordinate nutrition surveillance activities through the assessment working group; As in 2011, 3 main nutrition surveillance components will be tackled in 2012: - Anthropometric nutrition surveys, applying SMART methodology; - Rapid Nutrition Assessment; - Nutrition surveillance system; Activities

There is evidence that the nutrition situation in Afghanistan is becoming worrisome especially in the areas affected by the drought and in the areas affected by the war. This is due to a combination of factors such as food insecurity, poor sanitation and use of contaminated water, lower resistance to infections, limited or no access to basic health and nutrition services and inadequate feeding practices The result of recent nutrition survey conducted by Oxfam Novib in some of the drought affected provinces indicate that the prevalence of global and severe acute malnutrition were 13.3 % and 3.6 % respectively. Prevalence of acute malnutrition in pregnant and lactating based MUAC measurements less than 23 cm was 30.7% and iron supplementation was 35%. Globally it is well known that malnourished women have an increased risk of delivering LBW babies who have suffered IUGR. The Oxfam Novib nutrition survey conducted in 9 districts of Paktiya provinces shows that the GM is 17 % but this level is now expected to be higher or same in Garda Sere and Wazi Zadran districts which is more insecure then other districts of Paktiya province while Khost province is more insecure then the Paktiya province .The result of the rising food prices, prolonged drought, low access to health facilities and prolong war resulted in under nutrition which is not only confined to infants and young children, but is also highly prevalent amongst women of reproductive age. Over 30% of pregnant and lactating women are reported to be undernourished (MUAC < 230mm). Based on above mentioned reasons and also high incidence of malnutrition (HMIS data) four districts are selected in Khost province (Nadir shah kot,Tani, Gurbaz, Imail khail/Mandozai) total of number of under 5 children is 33000 and the total number of pregnant and lactating women is 13200 while two districts are selected in Paktiya province,( Garda Sere and Wazi Zadran) with total population of (female, male and children) that include total of under five population is 6460 (girls and boys) (20%) and the total number of pregnant and lactating women is 3584 (8%). In order to provide immediate response to the high rate of malnutrition, prevent further deterioration of nutrition status, prevent deaths among children and based on HealthNet prior CMAM / IYCF experience, we propose a comprehensive and integrated intervention comprising of Integrated IYCF (Infant and young child feeding) and Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) .

Enhanced Capital - Kabul Geographical Fields Needs

Since more than a decade Kabul’s population grows at a considerably high rate each year. Most of this growth resulted from immigration, initially from rural areas, and, since 2001, from the return of Afghan refugees and internally displaced persons. Consecutive of these displacements, several settlements have been set up inside Kabul City since 2002. The last camps are settled since mid 2011, showing that displacements of population inside Afghanistan and returns of refugees from abroad are recurrent since at least 9 years. Since their implementation, the population of the KIS increased and is estimated at around 17,292 persons in August 2011. As indicative information, 31 KIS were reported by UNHCR and the DoRR sub office (comprising 2,442 families) in December 2010 while the most recent list published in August 2011 indicates a total of 40 KIS including 2,901 families. The high density and the proximity within the settlements lead to unhealthy conditions of life, with a crucial lack of sanitary infrastructures. Furthermore, overcrowding has put a tremendous of pressure on the city's already frail social and sanitary infrastructure. Overall and apart from the health issues, basic services as access to safe water, to sanitary facilities or to city power in the KIS are not dispensed to the settlers. Public services are quasi inexistent in this targeted area where the forgotten population develops mechanisms by self sufficiency to cope with their precarious situation. With regards to these statements and following the alert raised by several humanitarian actors, ACF conducted a rapid nutrition assessment using MUAC and oedema criteria at the end of 2009 at Nassadji Bagrami KIS and a second rapid nutrition assessment in 2010 covering 21 KIS. The main findings showed a high prevalence of global acute malnutrition based on MUAC and edema criteria, among the children screened. Hence, ACF decided to open a Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) which is functional since July 2011. The main objectives of this project are: (1) Detection and treatment of severe acute malnutrition; (2) Detection and treatment of moderate acute malnutrition; (3) Active case finding amongst the community; (4) Prevention component though health, care practices and nutrition promotion sessions; In patient care services are not provided as Therapeutic Feeding Units (TFU) are managed by the MoPH offered at Kabul level. Since the opening of ACF project, malnourished cases are taken in charge in feeding centers to receive appropriate nutritional treatment and additional support (such as systematic medical treatment, hygiene promotion or breastfeeding counseling). At the end of September 2011, 46 severely acute malnourished children 6-59 months (20 females and 16 males), 195 pregnant/lactating women and 131 moderately

Page 318 of 432. malnourished children 6-59 months (64 males and 67 females) were in charge in ACF centers. In 2012-2013, ACF will continue providing nutrition support to this vulnerable population and will reinforce some components as the nutrition education and the community mobilization. Activities

Enhanced Western - Badghis Geographical Fields Needs

Badghis province, located in North Western Afghanistan, is among the most hard -to-reach provinces in the country. It has a total population of 458,450 living in six districts. The majority of the people depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Literacy among the inhabitants of the province, especially among women, is very low. A poor economy, malpractices and culture of the locals directly affect the nutrition status of mothers and children, where the persistent drought increases the risks of malnutrition and related complications in women of child bearing age and children of less than five years. Malnutrition is among the main causes of infant and young child mortality rates in Afghanistan. According to the available data (2006), the mortality rate in children less than one year and that of less than five years of age are highest in Afghanistan compared to the neighboring countries of the region. Out of every 1000 live births, 129 children die before completion of their first year of life and 191 children of less than five years die before reaching to the age of five years. According to the survey that was done in 2004 by the Ministry of Public Health, 6 to 15% of children suffer from malnutrition (wasting), whilst 60% suffer from chronic malnutrition (stunting) and over 70% suffer from iron and iodine deficiencies. According to the nutritional survey conducted in Paktia by UNICEF through Oxfam Novib and ACTD the GAM was around 17% in total under-five year children. This data could be extrapolated to Badghis and other provinces with similar insecurity status.

Moqor and Bala Murghab districts are located in the northeastern part of the province, with a population of 114,300. Ten health facilities provide BPH services to the people of the districts. BPHS health facilities focus on growth monitoring of the children of less than five years and health education related to nutrition is provided

Page 321 of 432. to the people. However, taking into consideration the poor economy of the local people and low agricultural and livestock products due to current drought and conflict, the local population is extremely prone to malnutrition and its complications.

Badghis is among hard to reach area with possibility of road blockage during winter, especially to Murghab district. The security condition in Murghab and Moqor has deteriorated dramatically over the past three years and the majority of people are living with very low income. Some of the villages of Moqor face problems in finding clean drinking water. In the majority of the areas cultivation of grains and maize are dependent on rains . Due to recent persistent drought, the crops are not grown and will not produce grains, ultimately leading to decreased income of the local people, less quantity of the availability of food for the locals and a further decrease into the availability of grass and eatables for their livelihood. This will result in an increase in the malnutrition status of the local people, especially children and women of child bearing ages .

ACTD currently implements BPHS in six provinces (Paktia, Saripul, Samangan, Hilmand, Badghis and Ghor). In Badghis, ACTD provides BPHS services through 10 HFs in Moqor and Bala Murghab districts of Badghis province and intends to address the existing malnutrition and prevent malnutrition among the target population of two districts by implementation of CMAM IYCF project as follow. • IYCF as is a strategy to prevent the occurrence of children getting malnutrition. The people will be trained on causes of malnutrition importance of exclusive breast feeding and when and how to start giving complementary foods. This will also include cooking demonstrations and screening to identify those for therapeutic feeding. • Provision of CTC services at health facility-level, which will include outpatient therapeutic feeding (OTP), Supplementary Feeding Program (SFP) and Therapeutic Feeding Center (TFU). Activities

Enhanced Central Highland - Bamyan Geographical Fields Needs

Afghanistan remains one of the poorest countries in the world (one in three Afghans lives in absolute poverty). An additional 37% are situated only slightly above the poverty line. The country experienced prolonged winter and low cumulative rainfall during 2011. For a rain fed country, this has led to significant wheat crop losses, underperforming irrigated crops, and poor pastures. This will lead to increased vulnerability of households (HHs) to nutrition, food and livelihood insecurity. The drought, acute food and water shortages and high food price have an immediate impact on both the quality and quantity of the diet of people living in worst affected areas. Families will either reduce their intake of food or they will be forced to switch to cheaper, less nutritious alternatives. Doing so dangerously undermines children’s fragile immune systems and makes them more prone to malnutrition, sickness and death from infections and disease. The recent data collected by nutrition cluster shows an increase in the number of admissions in the rehabilitation programmes and other data used as surveillance shows a high rate of malnutrition in most of the districts in the northern and central provinces of Afghanistan. Nutrition Clusters are also very concerned about diarrhoea surveillance data reported in the DEWS mainly due to severe water shortages and poor sanitation situation. This will have a further impact on the nutritional status of the most vulnerable groups of the population, most importantly children under five years of age. The recent nutrition survey by Oxfam Novib in some of the drought affected provinces indicate that the prevalence of global and severe acute malnutrition were 13.3 % and 3.6 % respectively. Prevalence of acute malnutrition in pregnant and lactating based MUAC measurements less than 23 cm was 30.7% and iron supplementation was 35%. Globally it is well known that malnourished women have an increased risk of delivering LBW babies who have suffered IUGR.In order to provide immediate response to the high rate of malnutrition, prevent further deterioration of nutrition status, prevent deaths among children and based on Save the Children’s prior CMAM / NERS experience, we propose a comprehensive and integrated intervention comprising of Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) and Nutrition Education Rehabilitation Sessions (NERS). Save the Children will coordinate with UNICEF regarding the supply of RUTF for its NERS sessions. Activities

Page 327 of 432. • Stabilization Centers will initially be established in district hospitals. Children with SAM and complications (anorexia, high fever, intractable vomiting, severe dehydration, respiratory infection, severe anemia) and infants <6 months will be treated in inpatient care according to WHO/IMCI protocols and according to the MoPH nutrition guidelines. • Communities will be sensitized to the issue of malnutrition and the purpose of the CMAM /NERS program. This will be done through information sharing and discussions with key community and religious leaders including shura e sahee or community health committees and, where available, the full engagement of women action groups will be encouraged. • In collaboration with WFP’s, a Supplementary Feeding programme (SFP) will be implemented to treat moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) among children as well as providing supplementary feeding to pregnant and lactating women. • In order to prevent further deterioration of nutritional status among children 0 59 months, Save the Children will conduct health and nutrition practical education at community level using NERS approach and mother to mother support systems in the community in their houses to prevent acute malnutrition and change behavior. • Both male and female staff of BPHS implementing NGOs and the MoPH will be trained to increase their capacity on CMAM and sustainability of programme and all of the CHWs including male and female will be trained on case finding and referral of malnourished children using MUAC and follow up. • Infant and young child feeding practices will be promoted through different approaches, including using midwives, CHWs, Family Health Action Groups, mothers’ support groups and peer counselors all trained in breastfeeding support. • Save the Children will conduct a rapid assessment survey and collect disaggregated data including sex and age.. This will form the baseline data for planning and implementation of the CMAM program . Implementation of project Including establishment of OTP, SC, SFP sites and community mobilization activities will be started before the findings of the survey. • Save the Children will use the monitoring and evaluation system that clearly describes the purpose, indicators, performance standards, frequency of data collection, sources of information, data collection tools, and quality measurement tools and tools for assessing health facility and CHW performance. Outcomes

•Treatment of 4,773 children 6 59 months with SAM, 12,860 children with MAM and 8,697 pregnant and lactating women • 70 staff of health facilities trained on management of SAM and MAM • 594 CHWs trained on case finding, referral and follow up • 350 Shura members oriented on CMAM/NERS • Community-based practical nutrition rehabilitation and education sessions (NERS) based on positive deviance approach. An estimated 1000 mothers trained to ‘actively’ feed their children using local energy dense menus. • Health education will also benefit approximately 107,875 indirect beneficiaries • Documented and disseminated experience of CMAM and the impact of an integrated approach of CMAM and NERS in Afghanistan • A nutrition assessment will be conducted to collect base line data for planning and implementation of programme • In addition following indicators will be measured: 1. >75% recovery rate (SPHERE) 2. <15% exits defaulted (SPHERE) 3. % mothers who know that exclusive breastfeeding is essential for children 0 6 months of age 4. % mothers who know that breastfeeding should be initiated within one hour after delivery 5. % mothers who know breastfeeding should be continued for at least 24 months 6. % of mothers who know complementary feeding for children 6 24 months of age 7. % of mothers who know that sick children (6 to 24 months) must receive appropriate complementary feeding (during and after illness) 8. # of CHWs who know how to use MUAC correctly and refer malnourished children 9. # of CHWs with knowledge of danger signs; importance of referral; and home care

The context of maternal and child nutrition status in Afghanistan is characterised by a high prevalence of malnutrition that also includes micronutrient deficiencies due to inadequate dietary intake, frequent infections and poor maternal outcomes. In 2004/05, more than one-half (60.5 percent) of the country’s children under five years of age were stunted, 39 percent underweight and seven per cent acutely malnourished; regional surveys in 2011 found global acute malnutrition rates averaging around 14 percent. Maternal under-nutrition is another serious concern with one fifth of Afghan women (21%) of reproductive age undernourished with a body mass index of <18.5. Recent nutrition assessments showed some 30 percent of women were acutely malnourished by MUAC (mid upper arm circumference). Underweight women are more likely to give birth to low birth weight babies at higher risk of neonatal and infant death and stunted growth. WFP's Protracted Relief and Recovery Operations (PRRO) 200063 plans to reach at least 210,754 malnourished women and children in 2012; it will scale up its response based on nutrition surveillance and further identfied needs.

Whilst gender differences in the nutritional status and feeding practices for girls and boys are not discernible in existing data, it is an important consideration especially when considering maternal nutrition and the reproductive health outcomes in the country.

WFP focuses its Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition (MCHN) responses on identified needs throughout the country, including those impacted by natural disaster and conflict. Within the framework of WFP ’s PRRO 200063 (April 2010 to March 2013) to strengthen resilience and food security of vulnerable groups in Afghanistan, the MCHN interventions are aimed at stabilizing or improving the nutritional status of children and women in order to reduce or prevent acute malnutrition. WFP’s Targeted Supplementary Feeding Programmes are an integral component in the community based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM), which also includes community mobilization and outreach, therapeutic feeding, and in patient care for medically compromised malnourished children.

WFP’s Supplementary Feeding Programmes are integrated with UNICEF’s Therapeutic Feeding Programmes, and with linkages from the community level to health facilities, ensuring that children can be identified early and treated in their homes using specialised ready to use foods. The Supplementary Feeding Programmes maximize the impact of CMAM by capturing the malnourished children before becoming severely malnourished

Page 330 of 432. and providing support to the previously severely malnourished children.

WFP’s Targeted Supplementary Feeding Programmes target all moderately acutely malnourished children (girls and boys) aged 6 to 59 months and acutely malnourished pregnant and lactating women, in order to prevent them from becoming severely malnourished, and to support their recuperation to a normal and healthy nutritional status. Nutritional support to pregnant women in Afghanistan lowers their risk of delivering low birth weight babies whilst continued support to new mothers when they are breastfeeding supports optimal growth and development for the infant.

The total needs for the current request, which is complementary to WFP’s PRRO 200063 and CAP 2011 Drought response, are US$ 34,280,373for 210,754 beneficiaries: 119,973 children 6-59 months and 90,781 pregnant and lactating women. Activities

WFP’s individual Supplementary Feeding Programme beneficiaries will be identified through screening in communities and health care facilities using mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) measurements.

WFP’s Supplementary Feeding Programmes will provide each moderately acutely malnourished child with (on average) 8.2 kg. of specialized ready to use supplementary food (RUSF) until discharged as cured.

From the second trimester of pregnancy and until infants of lactating women reach six months of age, each acutely malnourished pregnant or lactating woman in a WFP Supplementary Feeding Programme will receive a monthly ration of fortified wheat flour (25 kg.), fortified vegetable oil (1.78 kg.), pulses (3 kg.), iodized salt (0.25 kg.), and daily multiple micronutrient supplements.

WFP Supplementary Feeding Programmes will provide evidence based nutrition and health education and communication activities targeted towards caregivers and pregnant and lactating women in support of optimal infant and young child feeding practices, reduction of micronutrient deficiencies and healthy growth. These activities will promote the participation of fathers and male members of households in the feeding and nutritional care of children

WFP’s Supplementary Feeding Programmes will be implemented in partnership with UNICEF and in close collaboration with other Nutrition Cluster members, in particular the MOPH Public Nutrition Department.

The selection of CMAM intervention areas will be informed by food insecurity levels and acute malnutrition prevalence through drought related food security and nutrition assessments, and made in coordination with the MOPH Public Nutrition Department, UNICEF and the Nutrition Cluster.

WFP in collaboration with MOPH, UNICEF and the Nutrition Cluster will strengthen the capacity of its supplementary feeding partners, including MOPH and NGOs, to deliver quality supplementary feeding programmes through the CMAM approach, by providing technical and financial support to training in nutritional response, programming, surveillance and monitoring and evaluation.

Regular monitoring and evaluation of WFP’s supplementary feeding programmes will be carried out by WFP Area Office staff, programme monitors and with technical support from the Country Office; wherever possible, joint monitoring missions will be undertaken by WFP and its partners. Monthly statistical programme performance reports will submitted by partners for analysis and response. WFP will continue to collect disaggregated programme data on nutritional status and feeding practices for girls and boys.

As information becomes available nutrition surveillance and any complementary nutrition assessments, WFP and the Nutrition Cluster will identify areas for priority attention. WFP will scale up its supplementary feeding response in collaboration with UNICEF and MOPH.

WFP will continue its advocacy for integrated responses to nutritionally vulnerable populations across sectors, particularly those affected by conflict and natural disaster. WFP will consistently link its nutrition response with other activities/services such as non food nutrition interventions, health, water and sanitation interventions, agriculture and livelihoods, and participate proactively in gender network meetings. Outcomes

-Acute malnutrition reduced amongst all children (girls and boys) aged 6 to 59 months and pregnant and

Most parts of Afghanistan are under the grip of severe drought compounded by high food price which are adversely affecting livelihoods and normal income sources of families, particularly those living in rural areas and dependant on small farming and farm-related labour work. The drought, acute food and water shortages are forcing families to move to towns and urban areas while their traditional coping mechanisms fail.

15,811 children under five and 12,162 lactating and pregnant women according to GAM and prevalence and incidence rate of malnutrition are severe and chronic malnourished in 12 districts of Takhar province where the project intends to be implemented. Severe Acute malnutrition occurs mainly in families that have limited access to nutritious food and are living in unhygienic conditions, which increase the risk of repeated infections. Thus, preventive programs have an immense job to do in the context of poverty, and in the meantime children, who already are suffering from severe acute malnutrition need treatment. Malnutrition is one of the major public health problems in Afghanistan. This is very critical in recent years because of the food price rise and drought that has affected most of the Northern Provinces. Takhar province is identified as ‘Red spot’ for direct intervention’ ‘according to UN agencies and other stakeholders. The children under five years and pregnant and lactating women are mostly suffering from the severe acute and chronic malnutrition in the province. The results of the rapid nutrition assessment in 2 of the 14 districts of Takhar shows Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) of 10.4%, Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) of 8.4% and Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) of 2.0% in 6-59 months old children. In addition, in the recent rapid nutrition assessment in 22 of 34 provinces shows Body Mass Index (BMI) of <18 in 23% of the lactating women and poor nutrition status by mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) in 19% of the sampled pregnant women. By the World Health Organization (WHO) standard, GAM of >15% requires intensive and widened scope of nutrition intervention. Considering the assessments data, descriptive data from the fields and monitoring findings the nutrition situation in Takhar province is deteriorated and need intensive and widened nutrition intervention. Based on previous experiences and assessments data as well as the lessons learned from our recent IYCF pilot project in Takhar, Badakhshan and Kunduz provinces, CAF wants to expand and initiate the CMAM /IYCF project to all districts of Takhar Province where no NGO or institutions are working and providing CMAM activities. Activities

To improve the nutrition situation of children under five both girls and boys; and lactating and pregnant women CAF will implement all four components of CMAM and IYCF project in 12 districts of the province through the following activities: 1.

Enhanced North Eastern Geographical Fields Northern Western Central Highland Needs

In 2011, 895,820 children under five (457,660 boys and 438,160 girls) and 358,328 pregnant and lactating women were affected by drought, conflict, floods and displacement in Afghanistan [data from national food security assessments and vulnerability estimates for conflict and flood -affected areas, 2011]. Poor rain and snowfalls in 2010-2011 resulted in the widespread failure of crops in the central highlands, north, north -east and west Afghanistan, and in the irrigated wheat farms away from water sources. Along with poor wheat production and low income earning opportunities, the quality and quantity of livestock have decreased because of the deterioration in grazing grounds. Households in drought-affected districts, particularly in Faryab, Jawzjan, and Balkh provinces, lack access to potable water. Poor households in north, north -east, west and central regions that rely on wheat production, or whose income derives from farm labour, will be in crisis (IPC phase 3) as of September 2011, when their usual coping strategies will be exhausted. Poor families are likely to eat less food, not because it is in short supply but because of high food prices combined with loss in production and household income. This food crisis situation, along with lack of access to safe water, insecurity and restrictions to humanitarian workers' access, are all factors that will negatively affect communities’ health and nutrition status.

Although the capacity of the health system to manage cases of SAM cases was previously almost non-existent, about 47 TFUs have been established in 32 provinces over the past two years. However, as most of the severely malnourished cases are in very vulnerable communities living in under -served, underdeveloped, isolated and insecure areas, there is a dire need to expand the network of TFUs and bring them closer to these communities. Unless immediate action is taken, there is a high probability that most affected children and

Page 336 of 432. women will not have access to specialized therapeutic nutrition services, with fatal consequences.

The proposed projects aims to decrease avoidable morbidity and mortality caused by SAM through the expansion of TFUs, focusing on high-risk provinces and districts, strengthening their existing capacities and improving surveillance system and the referral of severely malnourished patients. Activities

1) Strengthen capacity in the existing 25 TFUs:

Currently, there are 25 TFUs in 18 provinces (provincial and district hospitals), all of which need to be upgraded. This will involve 1) providing/replacing equipment and consumables, as well as essential medicines and other medical supplies for the provision of therapeutic services; 2) training TFU staff on the case management of SAM/MC, providing revised guidelines and other technical and operational documents, including reporting forms; and 3) hiring a staff member at the Public Nutrition Department to monitor the TFUs.

2) Establish four new TFUs There are only 25 TFUs in the 18 emergency-prone provinces. This limits the access of the population to these services, especially since the TFUs are located at some distance from those people who need them most. In consultation with the nutrition cluster, it was agreed to establish another four TFUs in Sholgara (Balkh), Sherin Tagab (Faryab), Bala Murghab (Badghis) and Gulran (Herat). The activities related to this second component will include 1) providing equipment, furniture and TFU kits; 2) providing medicines (WHO) and nutrition inputs (UNICEF); 3) monitoring and supervision; 4) collecting, compiling and disseminating TFU performance results.

3) Early warning system for acute malnutrition: An effective early warning system for communicable diseases (DEWS) is functioning in almost all districts of Afghanistan, with support from WHO and other health sector partners. Focal points from the vast DEWS network collect information on a weekly basis. Including nutrition data in DEWS will allow the system to yield information about the number of new cases of acute malnutrition. Nutrition data will be included in the districts affected by the drought (priority 1 and 2) in the central highlands, north, north-east and western regions. The data will be collected from 90 sentinel sites and health facility catchment areas. The type of data to be collected has been elaborated in agreement with the nutrition cluster. Reporting will be done every week and data analysis will be done every month in order to identify trends and compare the results with data collected in the same period from previous years (yielded from HMIS data on the nutritional status of Afghan children). The implementation will entail training selected health care staff and DEWS focal points, and adapting the DEWS software. Outcomes

• Easy, effective access to in-patient specialized services for children under five suffering from SAM/MC. Around 4,900 boys and 4,700 girls suffering from SAM/MC will be effectively managed according to Sphere standards. o 90% of supported TFUs are monitored and supervised at least once per quarter. o 120 female and male health staff trained as planned. o Mortality rate for patients admitted to TFUs decreased and kept below 10% based on Sphere standards o Defaulter rate decreased and kept below 15% based on Sphere standards

• Improved quality of services in supported TFUs by integration of a psychosocial component

• Monthly monitoring and evaluation reports prepared by provincial nutrition officers

• DEWS able to promptly detect a deterioration in the nutrition status of the population for immediate action o 180 CHS, CHWs and DEWS focal points trained as planned. o Number of sentinel sites established in the affected provinces

There is evidence that the nutrition situation in Afghanistan is becoming worrisome especially in the areas affected by the drought and in the areas affected by the war. This is due to a combination of factors such as food insecurity, poor sanitation and use of contaminated water, lower resistance to infections, limited or no access to basic health and nutrition services and inadequate feeding practices. The Nutrition Cluster and its partners have recently established a system for monitoring the nutrition situation in at risk areas in order to ensure a timely response. The system uses a combination of data collected through nutrition surveys, existing routine mechanisms (CMAM, HMIS) as well as data collected through newly established nutrition sentinel sites. By end of 2011 eleven 11 small scale nutrition surveys will be conducted with UNICEF support using SMART methodology, nine of which have been already completed. Results of the surveys conducted in the second half of 2011 in selected districts of drought affected provinces of Balkh, Faryab, Saripul and Takhar show a Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rate over 10% with the worst situation in Saripul and Faryab where GAM is at 14% and Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) at 4.8% and 3.10% respectively. In Paktia, which is a conflict affected province, the results are even more worrisome with 17% GAM and 5.6% SAM. The community-based sentinel sites supported by UNICEF and already functioning in 5 drought affected provinces since end of July, show high rates of acute malnutrition ranging from 13% to 40% (MUAC based assessment) and high incidence of acute watery diarrhoea. There is a need to conduct additional surveys in 2012 in selected vulnerable provinces and to expand the sentinel sites to cover all drought affected areas and, where possible, conflict affected areas. As a response to

Page 339 of 432. high rates of severe acute malnutrition there is a need to expand the CMAM (Community Management of Acute Malnutrition) program in order to cater for the additional children who will become malnourished in 2012 as a consequence of natural or man made disasters. Already in the drought affected areas a significant increase in the number of admissions to CMAM programs has been registered in the second half of the year . UNICEF is expecting that by the end of 2011 the total number of admissions will more than double the number of admissions registered in the program in 2010 (16,950). The expansion of the program needs to be accompanied by capacity building of health personnel who will be in charge of the program. There is also a need to sensitize communities on IYCF (Infant and Young Child Feeding) practices, especially promotion and protection of exclusive breastfeeding; complementary feeding, prevention and control of micronutrient deficiency in children, pregnant and lactating mothers and hygiene practices. Activities

1. Regularly monitor the nutrition situation of communities living in vulnerable areas through rapid nutrition assessments at the onset of an emergency; small scale nutrition assessments using the SMART methodology combined with data collected periodically through community based nutrition sentinel sites and data coming from the nutrition programs (CMAM). This will complement data collected through HIMS and DEWS. Analysis of data will be done within the nutrition cluster and results will be used for advocacy and for prioritizing response.

2. Identification of malnourished children (boys and girls) through screening at community level and implementation of quality CMAM including facility based care for complicated cases (in coordination with WHO). Essential part of the CMAM program will be communication for IYCF with strong emphasis on promotion and protection of exclusive breastfeeding and awareness on the danger of use of unsolicited distribution of breast milk substitutes; micronutrient supplementation for pregnant and lactating women (in collaboration with World Food Programme). The project is aiming to reach approximately 47,600 severe acutely malnourished children (boys and girls) and 90,700 pregnant and lactating women living in emergency affected areas. 3. Strengthen the capacity of health workers, especially female health workers, to: assess and monitor the nutrition situation; identify and manage severe acute malnutrition; promote and support IYCF in emergencies including monitoring and reporting distribution of unsolicited Infant Formulae; promotion of hand washing and other hygiene messages. 4. Continue providing leadership and coordination within the nutrition cluster with specific focus on situation analysis, capacity building, assessments, emergency preparedness, Disaster Risk Reduction, Information Management, advocacy, gender equity and inter cluster linkages. Outcomes

1. Nutrition situation in emergency affected areas regularly analysed and monitored and necessary actions taken. Rapid nutrition assessment carried out within 72 hours from the onset of an emergency. 2. At least 47,600 severely malnourished children are receiving quality nutrition care in CMAM program in line with Sphere standards. At least 90,700 pregnant/lactating women receive micronutrient supplementation and counselling on IYCF in emergency. 3. At least 300 health workers (120 CHW, 180 health care providers) have their skills enhanced on nutrition assessments, identification and management of severe acute malnutrition, IYCF in emergency and hygiene promotion. 4. Nutrition cluster response is evidence based, coordinated and effective in addressing the nutrition needs of children and pregnant and lactating women.

More than three decades of war and internal conflict caused significant trauma to the country. The most vulnerable group that is most affected by conflict are the women through practices of, early marriage, the exclusion of women from the right to an education, access to health facility and finally using women as a productive machine to birth child. In Kabul informal settlement camps like Charahi Qamber (PD 5, Kabul City),Nasaji Bagrami Tapa Bagrami, Nasaji Bagrami Tapa Bagrami moved from Aqib Fabrika Nasaji Bagrami, and Kodakistane Bagrami (PD 8, Kabul City), the women of the family are the most deprived member of the family because they are not the one who have an income and has no any profession to gain money and be an active member of the family. Early marriages are very common in the camps; most women are prohibited from using health facilities nearby available; most men marry more than one wife; and, during any hardship of life, women are the only member of the family to set under the tent and tolerate all hazards. Illiteracy and lack of awareness are the main problems of the community, especially among women, which means that women cannot understand their rights and roles in the community. only member of the family to set under the tent and tolerate all hazards. Illiteracy and lack of awareness are the main problems of the community especially women which causes that women cannot understand their rights and roles in the community. Activities

1. Run three literacy classes; two in Charahi Qamber and one in Nasaji Bagrami (three camps) for women; each class will have 40 students, bringing the total number of students will be 120. The literacy and awareness class will continue for nine months after which the students will be able to read and write in local language. 2. The literacy class every day would be followed by a tailoring class in Nasaji Bagrami and one tailoring and one carpet weaving class in Charahi Qamber every day. After nine months, the total number of 80 students will learn tailoring and 40 students would learn carpet weaving. 3. At the same classes, the mentor of the classes would slowly teach the students women ’s and children’s rights too.

Page 342 of 432. 4. Monthly one community leader and elders Shura /Jerga would be conducted by SHERDO male staff to give the leaders of the camps the messages on the rights of women and children. 5. At the end of project, SHERDO would distribute the tools for tailoring or carpet weaving to the graduated students to Page 1 of 2

be able to work by the profession they learnt from the classes. 6. Selection of the students will be based on need; widows, disabled and the economically poorest of the poor women will be given priority. 7. The last three months would be time for follow up and support with finding market to the skill. Outcomes

• At least 120 women would be literate, 120 women will learn a profession to be able to earn money and improve the economic status of the family. Men will also understand that women are also able to work as men can do and they both have the same rights. • 120 women can support 120 families and prevent the members of the families from begging, • 120 women transfer all the women rights’ messages to the other women in the camp • Representatives and elders of the camps are aware of women’s and children’s rights and are encouraged to accept equality in the family and to pass the messages to all males of the camps as their ideas are penetrating soon in the mind of others. • All five communities in Charahi Qamber and Nasaji Bagrami (total population of 8250) are aware of women’s and children’s rights and women are able to access basic services and learning means of livelihood and are not subject to human right violations.

(GERMAN AGRO ACTION) (DWHH) Project Title Stabilisation of IDP Living Conditions and Promotion of Local Integration of Communities Living in Informal Settlements and Camps in Kabul Province Project Code AFG-12/P-HR-RL/44941 Sector/Cluster PROTECTION Objectives OVERALL OBJECTIVE: To stabilise the living conditions of displaced and marginalised communities living in camps/ informal settlements in Kabul Province and promote opportunities for the local integration of these highly vulnerable groups.

In particular this intervention proposes to address the following identified gaps: (a) lack of safe facilities to which IDP families can send their children to ensure they receive an opportunity to participate in informal classes where basic literacy skills can be developed; (b) high vulnerability of children and disabled persons due to their lack of formative/integrative opportunities, which places them at increased risk of child-labour (i.e. in brick-making kilns) or street-begging further decreasing their personal security; and (c) lack of income generation opportunities outside the informal daily-labour markets which significantly limits their ability to cope with changing environmental and security conditions, and further displacement – reinforcing a self-perpetuating poverty cycle.

This project, aims specifically to involve women and girls as key actors in the activities implemented by the project, within the limitations posed by (a) conservative cultural norms that are often enhanced due to the often 'unfamiliar' location of camps; (b) the limited personal security offered by camps.

The activities proposed by this project whilst addressing the gaps mentioned above, particularly aim to reduce the vulnerability of the targeted communities by addressing some of the primary constraints that contribute to a high level of risk and limited protection.

Enhanced Capital - Kabul Geographical Fields Needs

The intervention proposed herewith aims to expand Welthungerhilfe ’s programme of assistance to IDP communities in-and-around Kabul, particularly Kabul’s Informal Settlements (KIS) which has focussed on emergency NFI support and the provision of basic health and hygiene and child oriented education services . To date, Welthungerhilfe (WHH) has worked closely with 25 communities totalling over 2000 families who live below the poverty line in shelters and tents that provide inadequate protection from prevailing harsh environmental conditions. These informal settlements spring up across Kabul in whatever open spaces are available and operate in extremely marginalised and completely unsustainable conditions that perpetuate a cycle of poverty that essentially feeds on the consequences of a lack of access to the most basic of services.

While a longer term solution is desirable and indeed necessary, the focus of activities in support to these groups has to date generally been in the form of immediate humanitarian support – which while critical does not address any of the core issues that lead to enhanced vulnerability in the long-run. Greater effort must be

Page 344 of 432. made to combine immediate support with strategies that give the often marginalised displaced families greater access to opportunities for income generation and basic services, thereby taking steps to decrease their reliance on external humanitarian support. The emphasis of the programme outlined herewith therefore is on the stabilisation of living conditions through the provision of service oriented activities and, wherever possible, on the integration of such activities and the beneficiaries thereof into existing social, economic, and service structures.

WHH's programme focuses on two types of beneficiaries. Within the Kabul Municipal Districts (Police Districts), Welthungerhilfe targets informal settlements in which families have often lived for multiple years following their original displacement from their places of origin early in the current conflict. These communities live in makeshift settlements composed of a mixture of tents and mud -shelters amongst high-rise new constructions or established residential neighbourhoods. These communities generally have limited access to stable economic opportunities and basic public services. In summer they struggle with availability of clean potable water, and in winter with insufficient warmth and a high level of food insecurity. Within these marginalised communities exist further inequalities with the ‘victims’ being widows, children, disabled persons, and the infirm. Many of those targeted use street-begging as alternative income-generation opportunities putting them at heightened personal risk. Families are highly dependent within their immediate social group for support, with a high percentage (96% according to data collected in August 2011) having borrowed from others to support their meagre lifestyles.

The second target group consists of IDPs that either a) have returned to settle on land that they have been given by landowners / Government or b) have recently arrived in the central region and have chosen not to settle within Kabul but have squatted on land outside of Kabul district. These groups, have faced similar hardships as those living in Kabul Informal Settlements, but face the added difficulty that they have generally only recently (i.e. <1year) settled in their current locations, and are thus completely devoid of coping mechanisms and even the most basic infrastructure. Settlement areas are beyond a 10Km radius from the centre of Kabul, and thus are generally completely underdeveloped and devoid of services and structures that would promote the protection of their families. Activities

Provision of Opportunities for Child Development through Community-led initiatives and Informal Means: This component of the programme, implemented by WHH's partner ASCHIANA will continue to run five informal child friendly centres with each centre consisting of two tents in which three informal class per day for children in camps teaching basic literacy, math, and language skills are run. Children are grouped by ability and often split by gender, depending on the views of the parents. This project will expand this activity to eight schools.

Additionally, ASCHIANA runs accelerated learning programmes (ALP) to support children to re-enrol into formal MoE approved classes. This project aims to support the inclusion of children from the KIS camps into existing ALP programmes and support them through this process for the duration of one year.

Protection Activities Promoting Social Participation and Integration of Especially Vulnerable Groups: WHH proposes to implement three sets of activities as part of this programme component. The first is implemented in partnership with AECC and focuses on undertaking outreach ‘educational entertainment’ activities that aim to provide children living in the often squalid camp conditions with an opportunity to undertake activities that promote the development of social skills, mental /visual coordination, presentation and expression, etc. through a variety of activities. These include, theatre, acrobatics /juggling, media workshops, or drawing/painting. Through a four month programme rotating across five camps for each four month period, members of AECC will introduce children to the activities and will run workshops for some of the older children who demonstrate more advanced interest/ability, with the aim to encourage them as facilitators/ animators for their peers.

AECC additionally also runs thematic events all year round on important issues such as personal hygiene, mine awareness, and child-labour. Camp children will be invited to actively participate in such events, and similarly other children from outside the camps will be invited to perform their events for camp children.

2) WHH proposes to support disabled members of the communities with which it works by integrating them into ASCHIANA’s centres across Kabul that tailor vocational and skills learning courses to suit the specific needs.

Finally, Welthungerhilfe proposes to pilot initiatives to improve the access of young adults to opportunities

Page 345 of 432. beyond the informal daily-labour sector, through linkages to apprenticeship schemes or already existing vocational training schemes run by grassroots local organisations. Welthungerhilfe proposes to support such schemes to integrate members of its target groups into their programmes.

Cross Cutting Themes - Cash for Work / Training will be run as cash injections for communities. Activities that will be undertaken through CfW will be in support of the implementation of the primary components (mentioned above) of the project, however the focus will be on continuing support to community -led initiatives for informal education, or grassroots skills development. This is particularly interesting for the project, as grassroots skills development activities initiated by communities to date have been highly female centric, opening windows of opportunity for the project to focus its support to women. At present WHH runs skills courses in tailoring, bed -making, and poultry farming that are attended 100% by young women. Trainers are selected by the community with the support of WHH from within the area they live in,. This process has contributed to a greater openness by the community - especially offering women to be more active beyond the boundaries of the household / camp. - WHH will continue to implement humanitarian programmes wherever necessary, in order to meet the immediate emergency needs of communities impacted by severe weather or poor security conditions. Outcomes

• Eight informal child friendly spaces provide basic literacy classes for up to 1400 students; • 200 children within KIS camps are integrated into and regularly attend Accelerated Learning Programmes run by ASCHIANA; • Formative entertainment outreach activities are run for at least 600 children in 15 camps across Kabul; • 80 disabled persons participate regularly in trainings and courses offered in ASCHIANA ’s centres across Kabul; • At least four vocational training or skills development schemes are supported by the project involving up to 80 persons from KIS camps.

Across the breadth of the activities proposed above the participation of women as equal members of the beneficiary group is promoted. All the children activities, as far as possible, aim to provide a co -educational environment or at least separate activities for boys and girls where conditions are not conducive thereto. The project will focus on achieving gender equality through targeting a 50-50 ratio of female to male participants in the child activities below the age of 12. Above that age the project will seek to implement activities within the camp boundaries in order to facilitate a greater participation of women, who do not otherwise benefit from opportunities beyond the camp community. Cash for training activities, as mentioned above will only target women.

Enhanced Eastern - Nangarhar Geographical Fields Needs

Almost five million refugees have returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan and Iran since 2002. Nangarhar lies on the border with Pakistan; Jalalabad as the capital has a long history of hosting IDPs and returnees . According to UNHCR data, there are 18 IDP and returnee refugee communities settled around Jalalabad Sheikh Misry Camp, Daman community in Behsud, Wolus Dara, Dasht e Chamtala and Kabul Camp . Nangarhar is also a highly populated area for IDP and returnee refugee residents after Faryab Province; the total population reaches to 33,455 to 69,834.

IDP and returnee women constitute the most vulnerable group due to disparities in rights, limited access to resource, restricted autonomy and inadequate access to health, education and the justice system. Global assessments prove that displaced women and girls not only fear sexual exploitation and assault, but conflict also exacerbates harmful cultural practices, such as forced and early marriages. Therefore, women and girls from IDP/refugee communities require specific attention and tailored programmes addressing their needs – which is the objective of this project. For many Afghan women violence begins from childhood and can extend throughout their entire life. Studies confirm that the overall level of violence against women in Afghanistan is very high – up to 87,2 %(Global Rights, 2008); an overwhelming majority of women experience at least one form of physical, sexual, psychological violence or forced marriage. This project targets Nangarhar province where 75.7% of women and girls are exposed to physical violence and 86.5% to psychological violence. In most cases, the victims of GBV/VAW require multi-sectoral assistance that cannot be carried out by one type of public institution. In this regard, the new approach on Coordinated Community Response (CCR) to be addressed through implementation of this project will comprise a comprehensive package to respond and prevent VAW. The CCR is a strategy of public intervention in VAW cases that is based on the idea that the efficiency of addressing the survivors’ various needs through public institutions (healthcare facilities, law enforcement bodies, related other state bodies, community organizations, informal groups) increases with strengthened cooperation and creation of a coordinated system of the intervention. The CCR ensures that GBV/VAW victims receive multiple level protection and services immediately after applying or being identified . UNFPA started the initial efforts in 2011 in three main directions that precondition the successful implementation of the project: (i) development of the model on CCR based on the assessment of existing GBV/VAW response mechanisms; (ii) capacity building of police on GBV/VAW; (iii) capacity building of health personnel on GBV/VAW. The project’s outcome will result in improving access of GBV/VAW survivors to all necessary services as well as an improvement in the quality of services in selected communities of Nangarhar province through: 1.integration of the coordinated community response to GBV; 2.establishment of a comprehensive and effective referral path for GBV survivors in Eastern Region Naghrahar;

Page 348 of 432. 3.development and piloting the GBV Information Management System (GBV-IMS) among GBV/VAW actors in Jalalabad; 4. increased awareness of the negative impact of GBV/VAW on the the well being of individuals, families and communities among different population groups and enhanced understanding the advantages of coordinated response to GBV/VAW among service providers.

UNFPA programme staff will be responsible for the overall M&E framework while national NGO – HAWCA, will be the Implementing Partner of the project with technical expertise of UNFPA international and national staff . UNFPA and HAWCA will ensure the visibility and acknowledge the contribution of the Donor Government in all publications produced, assets acquired and equipment used, as required. Activities

The activities are divided into four categories, each having sub activities:

1. Establishment of referral path for women and girls victims of violence as part of coordinated community response: • Development of a specific package of guidelines and tools on identification, reporting and referral of GBV/VAW survivors for health providers, law enforcement bodies and NGOs adjusted to the Eastern Nangarhar context. The package will include Standard Operational Procedures (SOP) on referral path and information sharing and networking between the actors involved in coordinated response to GBV /VAW, as well as specific forms and ethical guidelines. • Five session of three days each for capacity building of organizations, agencies and individuals involved in coordinated community response to GBV/VAW (all level health service providers, police, judges, prosecutors, NGOs, community shuras, women’s groups and others) on GBV/VAW response and prevention. • Establishment of 50 self help groups in Sheikh Misry Camp, Daman community in Behsud District, Wolus Dara, Dasht e Chamtala and Kabul Camp (25 groups of women and 25 groups of men) that will be part of the referral path. • Six comprehensive training of self help groups on psychosocial support and GBV/VAW issues.

2. Integration and piloting of GBV Information Management system (GBV IMS) developed • Baseline assessment on data collection tools and actors registering GBV /VAW cases in Eastern Nangarhar. • Development of the set of tools for efficient and comprehensive GBV IMS including Confidentiality Protocols and ethical guidelines. • Piloting of the GBV IMS tools among local referral network partners on small scale level in selected communities. • Finalization of the GBV IMS toolkit based on the outcomes of the pilot phase. • Training of all referral network actors on the use of GBV IMS in selected communities. • Full operationalization of the GBV IMS in selected communities and integration of GBV IMS in the work of referral path actors. • Monitoring of effective application of GBV IMS among pilot actors.

3. Raising awareness of different actors on GBV within IDP and returned refugee communities. • Radio and TV spots on raise awareness of general public on IDP and returned refugees’ rights regarding GBV/VAW. • Translation and publication of the book “If Only Someone had Broken the silence!” by Kamla Bhasin into Dari and Pashto story book for children on escaping from sexual violence. The text and drawings of the book will be adapted into the Afghanistan context. • Group discussion on GBV/VAW within local IDP and returned refugee communities (including women and men). • Consultative workshops for religious and community leaders of IDP and returned refugee communities on GBV/VAW • Training for teachers and health workers within IDP and returned refugee communities on how to help GBV/VAW survivorss. • Educational entertainment activities for school children and street children (both girls and boys) in IDP and returned refugee communities to avoid becoming victims of sexual violence. • Peer-to-peer education activities for school girls and boys on their rights in IDP and returned refugee communities.

4. Support to Gender Based Violence Sub cluster (GBV SC) in Jalalabad.

In May 2011, the Government of Iran (GoI) sent an official letter to the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR) of Afghanistan that the GoI will start a new “legalization” scheme from 1 August 2011 by issuing an Exit Permit (EP) per person at the regional offices of the Bureau for Aliens and Foreign Immigrants Affairs (BAFIA) of the Iranian Ministry of Interior to the 1.4 million undocumented Afghans who have participated in the registration that allows them to apply for three-month working visas at one of the five Iranian Representative Offices in Afghanistan.

According to updated information as of 1 October 2011, the key points of the scheme are;

1. The 1.4 million undocumented Afghans include about one million individuals in 279,000 families and 0.4 million single individuals without families in Iran . 2. Each of the 1.4 million undocumented Afghans are registered with a serial number and is to be issued with an EP.

3. The GoI will issue three-month working visas (extendable for up to one year in Iran) to those with EP at one of the five Iranian Representative Offices in Afghanistan, which is specified on each EP.

4. The validity of the EP varies from 30 says, 60 days, 90 days, 120 days, 150 days to 360 days. Within the given time, the holder must return to his/her place of origin to obtain National ID, passport, Iranian visa and return to Iran to complete the legalization process.

5. The GoI has suspended the issuance of EPs to individuals in family groups and agreed to give an option to the individuals in family groups who have not been issued with EPs to complete the legalization procedure in Iran, obtaining passports at one of Afghan Representative Offices and then to obtain visa (residency permit) at

Page 351 of 432. one of the selected international airports from 22 August 2011 to 19 March 2012 (the end of Year 1390). Otherwise, they should take the procedure in Afghanistan or will be subject to deportation after 20 March 2012 (the beginning of Year 1391).

6. 0.2 million individuals in families who have already been issued with EPs and 0.4 million single individuals should complete the procedure in Afghanistan within the given period on Exit Permits.

7. The GoI re-planed to issue EPs to single individuals; - 20,000 per month – 22 August 2011 to 21 October 2011 (two months) - 50,000 per month – after 22 October 2011 and to complete the procedure in 12 months (22 Aug 2011 - 21 August 2012) with possibility of rescheduling.

IOM and the MoRR predict that about 0.7 million EP holders would return by the end of August 2012. Among them, IOM and MoRR estimated that about 11% of them would fall under the 11 categories of Extremely Vulnerable Individuals (EVIs) - UAM: Unaccompanied Minors, UE: Unaccompanied Elderly, MC: Medical Cases, DA: Drug Addicts, SC: Special Cases, PD: Physically Disabled, MI: Mentally Ill or Severely Traumatized, SF: Single Females, CI: Chronically Ill , SP: single Parents and PF: Poor Families, or EVIs' family members who need full post-arrival assistance and the other 10% would be non-EVIs but with other difficulties who need a partial package of assistance. IOM would like to expand its existing capacity established for the vulnerable deported Afghans (10% of all deportees) to these new groups of vulnerable undocumented Afghans. Activities

IOM will provide vulnerable "undocumented" Afghan returnees from Iran including; - Extremely Vulnerable Individuals (EVIs) including their family members among the EP holders, - Non-EVIs with other difficulties to repatriate among the EP Holders, - Families, EVIs and Document Claimants (who claim that they are documented refugees but cannot prove) among the deported (involuntarily removed) under the existing deportation procedure, and - Spontaneous Returnees with critical/serious vulnerability, with immediate post-arrival assistance according to each beneficiary’s needs, such as; - Transportation from the border to a transit centre, - Short-term accommodation with meals until departure to their final destination, - Family NFI kits to the beneficiaries without household items, - Transportation from the transit centre to their final destination in the form of transportation grants or special arrangement of transportation according to each EVI’s condition, and - Other special assistance to EVIs, such as external medical care and family tracing (especially for UAMs and single females), and develop - A centralized IOM database of its beneficiaries based on the compiled database in each project sites to compile data for the future analysis especially for the selection of project sites of reintegration /livelihood activities for returnees.

In this project, IOM also assist the Department of Refugees and Repatriation (DoRR) of Herat and Nimroz, along with UNHCR, in building their capacity in; - Registration of all Afghan returnees for the governmental record, and - Information-giving on the application and issuance of their National IDs, passports and Iranian visas to the returnees with EPs mainly through financial assistance to staff salaries and technical advice in daily activities. Outcomes

Through these components, IOM is able to achieve the following:

About 101,180 vulnerable "undocumented" Afghans from Iran (including 87,000 EP holders, 14,000 deportees, and 80 other Spontaneous Returnees with critical/serious vulnerability) will be provided with necessary humanitarian and transportation assistance to reach their final destination in Afghanistan.

Refugee return from Iran and Pakistan has decreased since 2008; however vulnerable refugees who do return still require assistance to help find a durable solution. UNHCR report that from 1 January to 21 August 2010 19% of all refugees returnees returned to the North/North East region. In addition, the region now hosts 3% of Afghanistan’s IDPs (8,318 persons). As women, men, girls and boys are differently affected by displacement, the ICLA programme takes these different legal and cultural concerns into consideration. Female Legal Counsellors and Information Counsellors are hired to gain increased access to female clients. Women’s property rights for durable solutions often manifest through inheritance and family law with Sharia being an important protection for women’s property rights and NRC works to address these rights through the necessary legal channels and female staff. As a result the following services will be provided through this project:

• Legal assistance and information to resolve land, property, family and other civil cases and facilitate durable solutions; • Information to allow decision-making about return to place of origin, resettlement or local integration; • Professional training in HLP, family, inheritance and Shari’a law for decision-makers to strengthen existing informal and formal justice systems and capacity.

Enhanced Capital - Kabul Geographical Fields Needs

Approximately 3,100 families (18,600 individuals) are currently living illegally in 39 “informal settlements” in Kabul city. While the profile of inhabitants and their reasons for deciding to live in Kabul city varies considerably, including both security and economic factors, almost all of the inhabitants have been displaced at some stage of their lives and remain extremely vulnerable and forced by their poverty to live in very poor conditions. These communities face a variety of social protection challenges more specifically sexual and gender based violence (SGBV).

SGBV in KIS sites refers to a range of actions by which an individual is exploited because of her /his sex or gender. This includes physical, emotional, psychological and socio-economic abuse such as rape, domestic, violence, forced marriage, exploitation, threats, and restrictions on freedom of movement and liberty. Anyone of any age can be subject to such violence, but in KIS sties women and children particularly girls are the main targets. In most KIS sites parents do not let their children particularly girls to attend the school. Majority of male KIS inhabitants are reportedly forcing their women to beg in the city. This is largely under -recognised, under-reported and under-treated due to cultural restrictions, extreme shame and myths or taboos. Three below three manners will be used to guide this project toward successful completion. First we will target and train the local government organs (police,). Then we will train local elders, family leads and local NGOs. Finally, we will apply to get membership of SGBV -Sub clusters and extend our supports to resolve these challenges in future. Activities

• Provide SGBV training to 3,100 families living in KIS sites. • Raise awareness among women, men, girls and boys on their rights and responsibilities. • Chat with women, men, girls, and boys to understand the community’s culture, family norms and their attitudes towards each other. • Identify areas where violence can easily occur within the community, for example, during the night, walking to school, or during the day when children and women are out begging or working. • Work with the person of concern, host communities, health organizations, police, legal services, NGOs, and government officials to find ways to prevent violence. • Responding to the needs of survivors such as Medical attention, Psycho -social support, Legal counseling and Physical security. Always respect the confidentiality of the survivor. Always Outcomes

• Around 3,100 families living in KIS sites are trained on SGBV issues. • Awareness of KIS inhabitants is raised and women, men, girls and boys are informed and learned of their rights and responsibilities.

Page 356 of 432. • Harmful traditional culture or family norms and their attitudes towards each other are changed positively. • Areas where violence can easily occur within the community are identified. • Violence in the KIS sites are prevented or reduced to minimal through working with the person of concern, host communities, health organizations, police, legal services, NGOs, and government officials. • Responses are provided to survivors and victims of SGBV directly and through networking.

Enhanced Southern Geographical Fields South Eastern Eastern Needs

Children boys and girls in Afghanistan continue to face a wide range of protection risks, a direct result of the vicious cycle of armed violence, poverty, and recurrent disasters in the country. Community support mechanisms have been severely weakened and governmental systems to deliver social services and to protect vulnerable children and families from violence, abuse and exploitation are largely inexistent. The armed conflict, which has intensified over the past months and is, exacting an increasingly heavy toll on Afghan civilians, poses additional risks to children. In environment marked by weak justice and law enforcement systems and impunity, State and non-State actors to the conflict continue to perpetrate grave violations against children. According to the statistics, since January 2011 to July 2011 there are 1175 children have being killed and maimed during military operations conducted by the Afghan National Security Forces, international military forces and armed groups, including during suicide attacks orchestrated by armed opposition groups. Children are also being recruited by armed groups across the country, particularly in the South, Southeast, and East, and are used as spies, informants, and to facilitate or carry out suicide attacks. An unknown number of children are captured, arrested and detained by Afghan law enforcement agencies and international military forces due to their alleged association with armed groups. Incidents affecting education and health service delivery have also gone up, thus hampering children’s access to schools and health facilities.

Moreover, boys and girls children are at great risk of Explosive Remnant of War and land mines in Afghanistan. According to the statistics (January – Aug 2011) 70% of mine casualties are children. Incidents often occur while children are playing or gathering resource materials. Children come across ERW during these activities and interact with them deliberately out of curiosity as well as for economic purposes. Children often collect them so as to later sell some parts of ERW to metal collectors in exchange of cash. At the same time, there are immense needs of child protection interventions. Child protection issues such as child labor, all forms of violence against children, Gender Base Violence, early marriage, street children, children without parental care, and children with disability are prevalent in the communities. Due to absence of community coping mechanism, and lack of knowledge in child protection and services, the impact of mines/UXOs and lack

Page 358 of 432. of knowledge and capacity in protecting children in vulnerable situation especially in emergency, have weaken the community response to support vulnerable children in their community. The need for community driven initiatives for protecting children from violence, abuse, and neglect in any situation particularly in emergency environments is important to ensure sustainable community support for children in need of care and protection.

As a pilot initiative, the project aims to target ten conflict and disaster -affected communities where the Comprehensive Child Protection Assessment will be carried out to identify existing community -based CP structure, if any, and to build the communities’ capacity to protect vulnerable girls and boys in emergency, as well as community-driven preparedness and response. Community-based activity also intends to map out current coping mechanisms during emergencies of these communities. It must aim to encourage equal access opportunities to men and women, girls and boys, child and adolescent participation. Activities

• Support on the development or strengthening of community-based child protection structures in ten villages in order to enhance community members (male and female), children and adolescent participation in emergency preparedness and response, including through community-based psychosocial activities, such as recreational, educational age- and gender-appropriate activities and child and community focus mine risk education activities for children. • Training for community members in practical emergency preparedness and response plan that also address the rights of women and children. Gender-balance will be taken into consideration when selecting the community members for training. • Community participatory planning process for emergency preparedness and response • Training for community members on child rights, Gender Based Violence, child abuse, positive parental care, role, community coping activities and responsibility of parents in protection children. The project intends to reach out to equally number of mothers and fathers for parental care training / awareness raising activities for parents. • In coordination and support with UN MACCA, awareness raising on Mine Risk Education through targeted child focus methodology such as drama, songs etc. • Recreational and psychosocial activities for children and parents. Equal opportunity will be provided for boys and girls in recreational activities. Girls will be encouraged to learn non -traditional child friendly games without undermining their respective cultural beliefs. • Community mapping exercise Outcomes

• Community-based CP structures for the protection of children in emergencies have been established or identified and strengthened in ten villages. Male and female community members have equal access to Community driven activities and increased knowledge on the important of community response to children in need of protection and care • 500 parents in 10 villages increase their knowledge on child rights, available services and practice positive parenting care and behavior • 3000 children have increase knowledge on mine risk and positive behavior towards mine risk. • Children at risk of violence and abuse have received community support in 10 villages. • 3000 children both girls and boys received equal access to recreational, psychosocial and other age and culturally appropriate activities. • Community Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans developed in ten villages with specific focus on the protection of children in emergencies • Boys and girls children gain knowledge on the importance of schooling, hand washing and inclusion of differently abled children as well as problem solving skills • Community members including children gain knowledge and practice safe behavior towards mine /UXOs and ERW • Decrease mine/UXO incident in 10 targeted villages

To advocate and provide protection to the population in informal urban settlements.

Years of conflict have culminated in the destabilization of families and large scale migration into towns and cities in search of livelihood opportunities. Eastern region which, is located on the major route from Kabul to Peshawar, has been an obvious point of convergence where this migrating population, particularly families that are returning after a long exodus from informal settlement on the out skirts of major towns and cities, seek employment and other opportunities. There are still families in makeshift shelters where IDPs have continued to live for years in and around Jalalabad. In addition, there is continuing repatriation of refugees from Pakistan, with real dangers of large scale exodus due to imminent political upheavals. It is noted that 618,760 refugees in 2002 2005, 26,903 in 2006 and 21,300 in 2007 refugees have returned to settle in the eastern region (82% of them mostly in and around Jalalabad (UNHCR). Jalalabad City supports thriving businesses and small scale industries. However, children are often trapped in dangerous work, having to supplement the income of their parents or guardians. According to the statistics of the Provincial Education Department, as many as 12% of school aged children, mostly girls, in Jalalabad are out of school (44,647 boys and 28,792 girls are in schools). Inferences are made above on the nature of economic coping strategies adopted in the face of an erratic casual labor market in Jalalabad. In addition to widespread insecurity in regard to employment, Jalalabad is symptomatic of an erratic urban labor market that provides little employment opportunities in a setting with a huge backlog in service provision and infrastructure development characterized by low wages and insecure jobs that crucially constrains improvement of livelihoods of the urban poor and vulnerable. The most predominant livelihood strategy is self employment with many incidences of child labor; including mobile street vending, manual cart pulling or operating animal drawn carts, fixed shop keeping, domestic & home based work, maintaining livestock and agriculture and casual labor – both girls & boys are involved. This project will help to define the particular challenges children (female and male) are facing in relation to access to education and their vulnerability when working. The type of work and level of hazards to growth & development, seasonal variations, geographical concentration of activity and social grouping will be documented in a matrix so that future interventions can be well targeted and CPAN network can facilitate a supportive and protective environment required.

Our assessment study will also focus on collecting general qualitative and quantitative information through interview focus groups and individual interview by cluster sampling that will provide insight into the living conditions of working children, their willingness for education, an overview on their schedule and geographical distribution to enable the regional education cluster to plan and provide alternative methods for education opportunities and individual interviews. Access to education, both formal and informal opportunities will be assessed including support provided by parents/guardians in order to ascertain why they do not have access to

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a major social problem and is not going to go away. Although data available are neither complete nor accurate, definitive statistics are difficult, if not impossible, to find because VAWG is a crime that is believed to be grossly under-reported. It has been difficult to obtain a complete picture of VAWG in Afghanistan because it often remains hidden. There are many reasons why VAWG may remain hidden; because the abuser may manipulate, bribe, force or threaten the woman /girl to prevent them from telling anyone; women/girls may not be able to communicate what has happened to them, or they may fear they will not be believed; women/girls may fear that they will be removed from the home; they may feel ashamed and want to keep the violence (and related family problems) or suffer other consequences.

VAWG, especially in southwest provinces, is pervasive even in recent years: girls are prohibited from attending school; woman are wed without her consent/will; child marriage is a common issue and majority of marriages occurs at the age of 14 and below; marriages occur when a child is born; often killed by male members of their family, when women or girl violate the strict and stone-written principles of their tribe to restore family honor; domestic violence by husbands and in-laws, limited access of women to basic life needs such as utilization of health facilities even when they are pregnant or face other medical emergencies are factors that indicate different types of violence against women. For instance, based on a recent Public Opinion Research which was carried out by ACTD (under fund from Chemonics international) in August 2011, majority of male respondents were strict and harsh toward women. According to the responses, the vast majority (71.5%) of respondents said that they will not let the women to use market even if it would be an enclosed women -only market. Therefore, only few (10.1%) respondents said that they will let their women to use this market, while 18.4% of them did not respond to this question.

The other critical issue is that during the recent years of conflict most of people from these provinces are internally displaced from their villages which again had a negative impact on women and their children. The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) confirmed that of the 3,800 families displaced from Nad Ali and Marjah districts during a major counterinsurgency operation in February 2010, about 900 (300 from Nad Ali and 600 from Marjah).

Despite government assurances about improved security and governance in Marjah and Nad Ali, IDPs believe

Page 364 of 432. insecurity was impeding their return. Anti-government insurgents harass and assassinate people who are deemed pro-government, launch hit-and-run attacks on Afghan and foreign troops and use improvised explosive devices which often inflict disproportionate harm on civilians.

The proposed project will contribute to reducing of VAWG incidents in Helmand and Uruzgan, with the highest level of VAWG. This project will envisage interventions to provide psychosocial counseling to survivors of violence, internally displaced people, build capacity of health service providers at different levels on GBV and psychosocial support, establish Survivor's Support Groups (SSGs) and community groups, and to spread awareness on the issue of VAWG for communities and the general public.

The beneficiaries are vulnerable, displaced and destitute women and girls of reproductive age in Helmand and Uruzgan provinces. The project will pay special attention to marginalized groups such as widowed, divorced, victims of violence and abandoned women.

Training of health workers on GBV and psychosocial support will enable the health workers to respond to GBV incidence, provide psychosocial support counseling and establish support groups as a next step. Activities

The project comprises of these main activities 1. Focus Group Discussion to measure the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of front -line service providers in Helmand and Urozgan towards VAWG. 2. Provide psychosocial support counselling to 10,000 individuals internally displaced from their villages 3. Awareness–raising and education activities at community level on VAWG 4. Awareness raising through local media (TV, Radio and news papers) 5. Capacity building of healthcare providers on psychosocial support and VAWG with the aim to enable them to provide counseling and support to women/girls at risk of or experiencing violence against them. 6. Form Survivor's Support Groups (SSGs) and community groups that will intervene to prevent violence and to spread awareness on the issue of VAWG. 7. IEC/BCC materials will be developed, including posters and leaflet on VAWG, for different target groups 8. Coordination with district and provincial officials, community/religious leaders, members of community development Shura at districts and villages and civil society organisations for design, implementation and monitoring of project activities. 9. Community mobilisation at all stages of development programmes, which will increase population empowerment, as well as quality and sustainability of programmes. ACTD regards communities as a vital element in increasing success and sustainability, and improving quality of project achievements. Through community involvement, obstacles to access assistance (particularly for women) due to stigma can be overcome and psychosocial problem awareness improved. 10. National level advocacy with policy makers, the judiciary and local and national media.

Following is a summary of trainings activities and primary beneficiaries in Helmand province • VAWG training of Shura members (women and men) in six districts (to 150 individuals). • VAWG awareness workshop for Community Development Councils (CDC) in six districts (90 individuals) • GBV awareness workshop for District Development Committee (DDC) in five districts (90 individuals) • Psychosocial Training of doctors (male and female) in six districts (50 individuals) • Psychosocial Training of midwives and nurses (male and female) in six districts (100 individuals) • Psychosocial Training of CHW (male and female) in six districts (150 individuals) • Awareness –raising campaigns at community level on GBV (500 individuals) • Psychosocial support counseling to internally displaced people (10,000 individuals)

In all of these trainings and awareness activities, gender parity will be considered as will be providing equal opportunity for males and females. ACTD psychosocial and GBV/VAWG trainers will facilitate the trainings for 34 health facilities staff, develop massages appropriate to the community cultures and values; and will carry awareness campaigns at community level.

During the project, ACTD will establish a follow-up system for monitoring, support, feedback and supervision, as appropriate to the situation. Outcomes

The UNHCR operation in Afghanistan evolved from a major IDP and refugee return and reintegration mission to a multi-faceted UNHCR presence in the country. Complex forced and involuntary movements of population have shaped UNHCR’s response to varying protection and humanitarian needs throughout the country. Internal displacement will continue to be a significant element of UNHCR’s programme in Afghanistan in 2012. By September 2011, UNHCR and the Ministry of Refugee and Repatriation (MoRR) estimate that 485,539 persons are displaced due to the conflict in the country. UNHCR is supporting the Afghan government in assisting internally displaced persons since 1990s. From 2002, UHNCR assisted the return of 101,121 IDP families (504,147 individuals) to their places of origin throughout the country. The actual figure of IDP return is much higher as many IDP groups or communities retuned to their homes spontaneously without requesting/receiving assistance from UNHCR, IOM or any other humanitarian agency.

Individuals are uprooted in Afghanistan as a result of the military operations ongoing in the whole country and as a result of targeted persecutory acts. UNHCR co-leads the IDP Task Force at national and regional level together with the MoRR/DoRR. The IDP TF constitutes the primary response and coordination mechanism to displacement as it aims at tracking displacement movement, assessing the needs of IDPs and coordinating the protection and assistance response to displaced persons. Displaced persons face a broad range of protection needs including the need for safety en route to and in the place of displacement and access to basic services such as appropriate shelter, water and sanitation, medical support, humanitarian assistance livelihood and education. While the current situation in Afghanistan does not indicate a clear solution to all IDP situations

Page 367 of 432. across the country, individual IDP caseloads, in certain located areas, may due to their distinctive characteristics of profile/cause of displacement benefit from particular solutions. According to its 2007 Strategy , UNHCR will work with the Government of Afghanistan to identify and support durable solutions to IDPs and facilitate their reintegration, including access to land through the Land Allocation Scheme. Protection activities and assistance towards IDP returnees will focus on ensuring that formerly displaced persons do not suffer attacks, harassment, intimidation, persecution or any other form of punitive action upon return to their home and communities, are not subjected to discrimination due to their displacement, have full and non-discriminatory access to national and sub-national protection mechanisms, including police and courts, have access to personal documentation and have access to mechanisms for property restitution or compensation regardless.

In Afghanistan, normal governmental and family structures which regulate community well -being and care for vulnerable individuals have weakened after three decades of war. In places where there are a number of government institutions and NGOs assisting Extremely Vulnerable Individuals (EVIs), the work is not well coordinated and referral mechanisms are weak. In many areas of the country, the capacity of government institutions to assist EVIs is very low, while coordination and referral mechanisms are weak or non -existent. Often EVIs are in life threatening conditions and are unable to recover without assistance. In addition, amongst the conflict induced recently displaced, EVIs need additional assistance for survival. Likewise, EVIs amongst protracted IDP groups require support to find durable solutions. Activities

Conduct protection monitoring of IDPs and IDP returnees in order to assess, identify and address their protection needs; Identify extremely vulnerable (EVI) among IDPs and IDP returnees and provide them with tailored assistance; Ensure coordination among humanitarian actors to strengthen provincial and regional referral networks for IDPs and IDP returnees Engage with authorities to identify and facilitate durable solutions for IDPs Facilitate with Afghan authorities the return of IDPs to places of origin or new settlements Ensure the return of IDPs is voluntary Monitor the physical, legal and material safety of IDPs/returned IDPs and their reintegration Facilitate IDP returnees' reintegration and monitor that former IDPs are able to access and enjoy rights as citizens of Afghanistan in vital sectors Advocate and enhance cooperation with government ministries and donors to improve resource allocation for IDPs Monitor LAS sites to ensure eligible IDPs and IDP returnees are duly considered. Outcomes

Basic protection services to IDPs and IDP returnees are provided through strengthened access to humanitarian assistance and legal solutions, with primary focus on the needs of vulnerable women and girls. Protection needs of IDPs and IDP returnees are regularly monitored, identified, addressed and/or referred. IDP and IDP returnees' EVIs are identified and supported with specific assistance. Durable solutions for displaced persons are identified, advocated for and facilitated by UNHCR with other actors, including relevant Government authorities. Return of IDPs is voluntary in nature and is facilitated and assisted by reintegration package (provided security situation and humanitarian access allows). Referral networks to provide services to the vulnerable IDPs and IDP returnees are further strengthened. Increased awareness amongst stakeholders, including key Government officials at national and regional level, on the needs of IDPs and the durable solutions for displaced populations.

Afghanistan remains very vulnerable; and security issues further complicates limited access to essential services and food security. As returnees settle, these limited resources are further strained and contested, leaving returnees and host communities in dire need of assistance to meet basic needs. The 2011 UNHCR Global Appeal states that more than 5 million refugees returned to Afghanistan since 2002 and in some areas 1 in 3 are returnees. Vulnerable populations in these areas face similar challenges: little or no land for farming, poor irrigation, few income-generating opportunities, poor access to basic services such as healthcare, education, sanitation and clean water and vulnerability to disasters, and especially flood and drought . Returnees face all of the same problems as other residents, along with the added problems of integration into a host population that may resent their presence and use of community resources.

Specifically, the needs of WASH and Livelihoods need to be met to improve reintegration of the returnees into Jawzjan and Faryab provinces. Both men and women will receive the same training and benefits. This is intentional and not an afterthought. However, due to the sensitive nature of the women in Afghanistan, women will receive training in the WASH and livelihood aspects separate to those of men. Tearfund (TF) female employees including a women supervisor are employed to engage with women. Children are not directly part of the project, but receive intentional direct benefits to meet their WASH and nutrition needs.

In December 2010, Tearfund conducted an assessment in three districts in Faryab and five districts in Jawzjan and noted the following: o The average duration for food stocks in the villages ranges from 1.3 to 1.4 weeks o 75% of the villages agree that crisis negatively affects livelihood o Crisis causes increase in food price (68%) o Crisis causes disruption/depletion in food stocks (50%) o Selling assets is the most preferred coping mechanism during disasters (83%) with migration (53%) taking the next rank o Most affected livelihoods are: agriculture, (73%), husbandry , 58%), and labour wage, (33%) o Most common and serious hazards are: drought,(55%), agriculture pest and diseases,(55%) o The most common disasters (drought) are the recurrent ones (90%) o Water reservoirs (50%) and agricultural lands (60%) are most affected o Assets (45%) are affected because they are located in risk areas o Assets (45%) that are not affected by disasters are the ones located in safe areas o 88% of the villages do not have evacuation place identified

Page 370 of 432. o Disabled persons are the most affected , 55% o IDPs/returnees make the largest proportion , 60% o Lack of disaster risk reduction knowledge (80%) followed by lack of education (73%) are the major reasons why some people are more affected o People are most affected from loss of harvest , 80% o Around 12,015 families have been affected during the last severe disaster leading large number of families (40%) to migrate or internally displaced o Most villages (85%) use surface water for domestic consumption use.

Enhanced Eastern - Kunar Geographical Fields Needs

Decades long disasters including natural and conflict based have ruined the infrastructure of schools and educational institutes either fully or partially, certain observed closed. Most of the schools damaged due to the militancy or highly affected due to conflict and flooding could not in position to provide equal opportunities of getting education properly to the school level boys and girls students. Beside this, the education ratio in Kunar rural schools are very poor as less focus has been paid in areas of Kunar, resulted that little children/teachers/communities were motivated to work for education improvement, while on the other side, the disasters have also played its immanent destructive role.

Due to the disaster (certain schools conflict affected, and certain with floods), the foundations of schools Water, Sanitation and storage have been damaged and several diseases due to unhygienic conditions prevailed needs to respond and re-establish. There is a foundational need for schools to be able to provide safe water and sanitation for the girls and boys students. Various national educational & WASH project outputs revealed that many students walked between 2 and 3 hours to reach school. World Bank 2010 reported that since 2000 educational projects have improved the existing life of education and highly benefited girls in primary level. Enrollment in grades 1 12 increased from 3.9 million in 2004 to 6.2 million in 2008. Girls’ enrollment increased from 839,000 to more than 2.2 million, and boys’ from 2.6 million to 3.9 million, the highest enrollment in the history of Afghanistan.’

But specific to project areas, SHPOUL conducted Rapid assessment (WASH-related) in seven districts of Kunar i.e. Marawara, Sarkano, Ghazi abad, Watapur, Narai, Asadabad and Chapa dara, it is resulted that out of 74 target schools, 43 schools highly damaged in wash facilities including 21 of girls, 31 has lack of teaching aids (11 girls schools) and all the assessed has less information available on hygienic practices which caused water borne diseases in both schools of girls and boys. Out of 74, 21 girls schools found highly damaged having 5700 girl students strength are facing the same issues in wash what the boys have. The schools of girls are less focused in these districts comparatively the WASH facilities are inadequate to fulfill the wash needs of girls students.

The WASH needs for schools is ever growing and is considered often a high concerns for school personnel; yet should be reflective in the utmost importance for encouraging students to attend school. Certain schools have very few protected water points. Some schools have latrines but are not even used by students, as the latrines were in dire need of repair as mostly damaged. Instead open defecation is commonly practiced. Most

Page 373 of 432. students gather water from irrigation canals or streams/springs on the way to school, most of these springs unprotected. The lack of safe water and very high probability of contamination leads to the fact that many children reported having few cases of diarrhea and other bacterial infections. The hygienic practices are highly poor, and the lesson learnt of teachers from past could not extremely hygiene inappropriate as due to less facilities available. The hygiene practices needs to be more focused and trainings should be delivered to teachers to encourage behavior change in the school community. Furthermore the inadequate availability of teaching aids is extremely high in 31 schools and needs to ensure aids supply to these schools and encourage teachers, students especially girls, and parents/community to send and make functional the area schools for their children's better education. The project will do focus on the School Wash which is affected partially or from foundations or in poor conditions. Activities

Afghanistan depends mainly; industry which did exist before has been destroyed. Investors do not risk investing in a country where stability seems to be improving but is not yet at an acceptable level for many actors. The poverty in Afghanistan is striking; a fifth of the children dies before the age of five, the average age is about 44, many children do not have a chance to have access to education, justice and social security depends on local and traditional institutions. The central government is building upon its capacity to guide the country but is not yet sufficiently equipped to reduce the poverty at household level. Parallel to this governmental approach, micro level project activities can influence the daily life of poor Afghan families by enabling them to establish simple means to support their families. A 6.6 millions of afghan are living below the level of poverty and unable to meet their daily food requirements. Literacy rate in Afghanistan is only 28 percent, with the rate for males 36 percent and females at 18 percent. In 2010 only 31 percent of the country’s population had accesses to safe drinking water , and according to WHO report Afghanistan has up to 1.5 million cases of malaria each year which born from unclean drinking water Activities

Three decades of war and insecurity has had a terrible human cost on the people of Kandahar and Hilmand and severely damaged the institutions of the State. The weakness of the new government, since the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001, is a key concern that hinders service delivery, undermines the legitimacy and credibility of state-building, and contributes to greater insecurity. The participation of women in government and in decision-making forums remains extremely limited According to the base line and pre – KAP survey, that was conducted by OHW in June 2011. During the survey it was found that the people of Kandahar and Hilmand, especially those living in rural areas, live in extreme poverty and lack essential services such as water and electricity. Forty percent of the population lives on less than US$1 a day and life expectancy is 43 years compared to 59 years for low-income countries worldwide. In Kandahar and Hilmand, it is estimated that only 23% of households have access to safe water, with 43% in urban and 18% in rural areas. The issues for sanitation are different in urban and rural areas. In rural areas, there is a focus on the need for hygiene education and improved latrines. In urban areas there is more a need for functioning sewage systems. Provincially, only 12% of households have access to improved sanitation while 28% of urban dwellers have access. In rural areas, this figure falls to as little as 8%. Women face the highest rates of illiteracy and the lowest standards of health in the world. Maternal and child mortality rates are amongst the highest in the world. In addition, women are generally excluded from consultations about the kinds of WASH services they require and on their distinct WASH needs. Kandahar and Hilmand remains dependent on external aid. The opium industry in Kandahar and Hilmand is growing, the state officials are known to be complicit in poppy cultivation, trafficking or non-intervention and extensive trafficking of opium and heroin takes place across the borders.

The majority of the populations affected are women and girls. The activities of the women and girls get increased in their daily life; they have to spend a lot of their time collecting water; they have to spend 30 – 65 minutes in the collection of water. In most areas it is experienced that the children are left out of school because all of their day goes in collection of water and some of the families have to migrate from their place to another because they didn’t had access to safe drinking water. The majority of the community gets affected are women because they have to leave from their houses, conduct extra activities; and have live in crisis situation . Therefore, the response will mostly support the women and girls and reduce the daily work of the women in their houses. Activities

OOHW will implement the WASH program in the 2 districts of Kandahar with a total population of both districts approximately 19,000 families and 1 district of Hilmand province with a population of approximately 10,000 families. Total 100 communities will be targeted in the targeted districts (60 in Kandahar and 40 in Hilmand

Enhanced North Eastern - Badakhshan Geographical Fields Needs

This area shows high levels of acute malnutrition, and clinic and MoPH staff have requested Medair to help them address these issues and increase their capacity to respond to the situation for children and pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Underlying causes of malnutrition identified in a Medair baseline household survey in 2010 were: lack of clean water, poor hygiene knowledge, uncontrolled diarrhea, household food insecurity, and several other factors.

Many communities in these three target districts have currently no access to clean water or sanitation, affecting the health and nutrition of children. The MUAC baseline survey showed that 55.8% of the children between 6 -59 months reported to have had diarrhea in the last two weeks. It also showed a statistically significant relationship between diarrhoea and GAM. 67.4 % of children without GAM reported an illness in the last 2 weeks compared to 90% of children with GAM. Medair’s current nutrition programme is seeing high admissions of malnourished women and children and a MUAC baseline survey in the target area of the nutrition project shows a Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rate of 30.1% for children between 6 and 59 months and 70% of PLW having a MUAC < 23.

Medair surveys show that in the three districts of Yawan, Raghistan and Kohistan there are a total of 161 villages with no functioning waterpoint, affecting around 41,000 people or 42% of the population. Most of the existing water points in these districts have been built in the last 4 years. Unfortunately not in all villages sanitation facilities or hygiene education was provided in conjunction to building a water point. Hence the latrine/sanitation coverage is even worse and is at high risk of disease outbreak.

Open defecation, lack of human waste management and the use of unprotected water is a common practice and results in high child mortality, watery and bloody diarrhoea, and other diseases related to poor hygiene . The risk of large scale disease outbreak remains very high and is aggravated by the observed lack of nutrition, which especially reduces the resistance to waterborne diseases for children and pregnant women and underlines the need for the intervention. The mortality rate for children under 5 is as high as 25%, half of which is caused by water borne diseases’ (AFG WASH Scenario report OCHA 2008).

Strong cultural inhibitions, repression and lack of latrines may well cause women to suffer disproportionally from urinary tract infections, as they are said to drink less to reduce their need for toilet visits, and to limit their toilet visits to after dark.

Out of the 14 schools selected for this project only 2 have currently safe water and none of them have any functioning latrines. All school children have to walk significant distances to attend school. The lack of sanitation facilities means that in this traditional culture girls are taken out of school when they reach a certain

Page 381 of 432. age since there are no places available that are private enough for open defecation.

Studies have shown that more than 40% of diarrhoea cases in schoolchildren results from transmission in schools rather than homes which shows a need for education and facilities. Also worm infestations among schoolchildren are a major barrier to reaching their potential in education and beyond. Chronic hookworm infestations are associated with reduced physical growth and impaired intellectual development, and children enduring intense infestations with whipworm miss twice as many school days as their infestation-free peers.

The clear link between the high malnutrition rates and the lack of safe water and sanitation in these areas shows the critical need to address the WaSH situation in this area to compliment and support the existing nutrition project and will be achieved through close working relations with community needs.

Project is currently 80% funded- budget reflects the remaining needs. Activities

Enhanced Central Highland - Bamyan Geographical Fields Needs

This project is based on the assumption that the current drought of 2011 continues into 2012. While spring aquifer levels are at the highest, it may be true that levels have still not reached their norm. With these considerations, preparations will be made for the emergency WASH programming starting in the Spring of 2012. A similar CAP submission was completed for the 2011 drought in September 2011, but so far no funding was assured for 2011.

The drought of 2011 actually began in late 2010 when a lack of snow in December as is normal for communities above 2500 meters did not arrive. Even with late snow in March, the snow melted quickly and let to surface runoff as opposed to recharging the aquifers. A lack of precipitation continued through the spring months. FEWS net report that Bamyan has received only about 70% of the average amount for each of the past two years leaving a deficit of 1.75 meters. The lack of precipitation has also combined with higher than average temperatures in the region as, “[From June through early August] Central and eastern parts of Afghanistan experienced the largest positive temperatures anomalies (8 degrees C or more) that have lead to exceptional dryness in the region.

In June a ‘Dryness Survey’ was carried out by Solidarites International across all of Bamyan Province with Medair in support for the southern districts. This was part of a larger regional survey covering more than 7 provinces across the north and central regions. From the provincial survey, “Only in Panjab and Waras do most interviewed believe their main source of drinking water will get depleted .” In June, this report concluded that 60% and 65% of communities in Panjob and Waras expected their main water points to be greatly reduced or dry, as the drought has continued this expectation has been realized. The report also concluded that families in Panjob and Waras would collect less water as they would have to travel to secondary or tertiary sources, which has been supported by Medair staff in Panjob and Waras

The drought has created a dire situation in the rural communities with many water points drying over the summer. Medair engineers in the area assesd some areas. For example in Sahi and surrounding areas 43% (9 of 21) of the wells and were completely dry late august. The district representative of PRRD, Engineer Rahimi, gave 10 targeted areas that are recorded of having 80% of their water points dry or nearly dry.

The loss of water points is crippling the communities, as several villagers have stated that with the drying of their water point they now must travel in excess of 30 minutes each way to have any access to water. It is often the female in the household who is tasked with water collection and hence this put an extra strain on the women. Furthermore, the currently used sources are extremely unprotected, ie. river or standing pool. The prevalence of water borne diseases is expected to rise sharply over the next 2 months due to communities abandoning previously protected water points for unprotected sites and Afghanistan has already witnessed several cholera outbreaks this year. This is ever increasing the strain on the local livelihoods as the lack of water is compounded with a crop failure of 60% . This is consistent with the expectations of farmers in the June

Page 384 of 432. Dryness Impact Survey where 73% and 65% of Panjob and Waras suspected a wheat loss greater than 50%.

Drinking water sources have dried in the last few months across the district, which leaves people with few options of survival in the region and contemplating migrating out of the area for lack of water and poor harvest . Pregnant and lactating women (PLW) and children, especially from vulnerable families, are at high risk of waterborne diseases from drinking unprotected river water. Only rapid emergency response can reduce the impact of this drought. Activities

Stage 1: To meet the immediate needs of the local communities, Medair WaSH engineers and technical staff will work closely in participation with the local communities. Tools will be given to local workers of affected families to excavate existing wells and springs in an attempt to locate the reduced aquifer. Hand dug wells (less than 20 meters) and local springs in the area are readily prevalent. Spring is not the ideal time to dig for water sources as it is higher than other times of the year, however Medair has been successful in securing water access with increased well and spring excavation. The water table is unlikely to be recovered in one year, so spring excavation is still long term sustainable.

To reach sufficient water supply, small Cash For Work incentives will be given for each water point to the most vulnerable families affected by the drought. A total of 50 man days of unskilled labour will be given to communities for this purpose with any additional time needed to reach suitable flow being a community contribution. The objective of the excavation will be to provide sufficient yield from the water points to provide the lower bound Sphere guideline recommendation of more than 7.5 L/person/day in emergency situations.

Throughout the duration of this stage, emergency hygiene education will be given to targeted communities (men, women and children) and local schools, which is critical to prevent outbreaks of waterborne diseases. A focused hygiene program pertaining to an emergency water situation will be used, topics include: how to make safe water from unsafe sources, diarrhoea and ORS, and hand washing. These messages are most appropriate to equip villagers from the current and future disasters. Addressing the hygiene education on a household, community (assembly meetings at mosques for example), and school level will fully engage the women and children of the area. Men of the community will be also taught if at home, but more able to be approached during monthly community meetings, often held at the local mosque.

Stage 2: Approximately half of the water points (150) to be excavated will be from previously existed protected sites constructed from AKDN, CHF, Medair, or other WASH partner. These water points will be chlorinated and resealed following water testing. The other half of the water points (150) will requite new construction and protection. This will include concrete aprons and storage boxes etc. Waterpoint committees including a mechanic, caretaker, fund collector, and female representative will also be established for each water point.

Hygiene messages, which are specifically targeted at women and children, will continue in the second stage of the project. They will be purposefully addressed because women play an important part of the household hygiene and children will be the instruments of change for the future. After reviewing the emergency messages given at beginning, 3 other messages (sanitation, domestic, and environmental hygiene) will be given. These messages will coincide with MRRD publications as accepted hygiene messages from the WASH community . A KAP/impact survey will end the implementation while assessing the success of the project and also gauging the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices of women, girls, boys and men within the communities. Outcomes

• 3600 households have increased access to drinking water • 3600 HHs receive emergency hygiene education • 300 water points excavated with 240 (80%) reaching the lowered water table • 240 water points (80%) achieve a yield rate of 7.5 L/pr/day • 95% of targeted HHs know how to make safe water from unprotected sources

Enhanced North Eastern - Badakhshan Geographical Fields Needs

Due the past years of conflict and drought in Afghanistan most of the infrastructures have been badly affected . Among the sectors, water and sanitation have also been affected in all parts of the country, especially in Badakhshan province. It is clear that lack of healthy drinking water, poor sanitation and unhygienic practices are major factors contributing to high mortality and morbidity rates especially among women and children . Based on the survey report we carried out in target areas by our CBDRM project staff with accumulation of the information that have been got from Dolaba health clinic medical staff indicated that, most of people living in the area especially children and women have some diarrhea which cases due to polluted water that the people drinking from canal and river also, the children and women are responsible for providing drinking water for the families and in most areas they fetch water from 4 to 6 Km far places (springs or well) while the residents of some other villages use unhealthy water for drinking purposes resulted in increase of diseases in the area . Therefore the beneficiaries will be children, girls, women, and men in our target areas of the Badkhshan province. Experience has shown that the provision of water and sanitation facilities will achieve the primary desired improvements in health. Greater support of water and sanitation interventions is essential. Better hygiene practices include the protection of drinking water, suitable usage of water for personal and domestic sanitation, and safe handling and disposal of excreta and other wastes. The project will focus predominantly on water supply and behavior changes and all strategies and initiatives undertaken shall be aimed at improving behaviors and practices within the target communities. The project will also strengthen the capacity of the Government at the national level to develop and adopt mechanisms to plan, manage, improve and sustain water and sanitation interventions through promotions. The project will use appropriate information systems and education tools to encourage peoples of Badakhshan to adopt safer hygiene and sanitary practices as preventive measures against water and sanitation related diseases. House to house visits for providing information to households on proper hygiene and sanitary practices will form a major part of the project. This proposal put special focus on safe drinkable water. Moreover, CoAR is a member of national WASH clusters and has 20 years’ experience based on the above- mentioned proposal topic as it renders most of the activities on the above mentioned task very easily and effectively.

The common source of water in the mentioned province is open dug wells, irrigation streams and rivers. The unprotected water sources are normally shared with animals that result in risk of contamination. In general appropriate sanitary facilities have never been accessible for the rural inhabitants of Badakhshan province Activities

A: Drilling of wells:

Page 387 of 432. Drilling of 120 wells: one well per every 25 families. Provision of minimum requirements of water 20 25 lit/person/day. A signed contract with the community is in place for maintenance of the project. Mechanic payment method for maintenance work. Training of mechanic for hand pump to be available within the community.

3000 families within the project period will receive health education sessions. Latrines are to be kept clean and tidy. Construction of 360 demonstration households’ latrines. Hygiene education training to 3000 families. Organizing meetings with related department of provincial government and sharing their views for better implementation of the project will definitely strengthen the capacity of the government and will improve relationship between local peoples and government. B: Sanitation: In close cooperation and consultation with the village water committee three demonstration household latrines will be constructed. The latrines will be constructed according to the requirements. C: Hygiene Education: The hygiene promoters provide hygiene education in order to increase the sanitation awareness among the inhabitants in the target community. The hygiene education will target women specifically and be carried out according to national guidelines and requirements. The activities will be based on a system whereby these simple hygiene education messages will be delivered to the target communities, members in sessions of one or two hours in a participatory mode, encouraging group discussions. These will be primarily targeted at women as the main water collectors and responsible for the child care. The programme will also address men and children. All standard materials for hygiene promotion will be applied through professional educators. Prior to implementation training courses will be conducted to train hygiene promoters. 25 houses will be visited through hygiene promotions per day that will use all messages, posters, leaflet, during hygiene education . Community groups including women, men and children will participate in the training sessions. Project maintenance: The targeted community will receive training for the maintenance of the equipments used for each well. One care taker for each well and one mechanic for 30 wells (depend on the location of the wells) will receive on the job training. They will have access to basic technical tools for maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of the equipments. The pump care takers will sign for all received tools Outcomes

Access to sufficient quantity of potable hygienic safe water for drinking and cooking for all inhabitants in the village. Improved hygiene practices that result in better health, lower mortality and morbidity. Appropriate use of water for drinking, personal hygiene and domestic use Sustainable and reliable installations without interruption of service as a result of appropriate operation and maintenance Access to hygienic safe demonstration latrines for the selected households in the village Replication of latrines among un -served households in the village motivated by hygiene education and visible impact of the demonstration latrines. Mostly children and women benefit from the project.

Enhanced North Eastern - Baghlan Geographical Fields Northern - Samangan Needs

Severe drought in 2011 significantly affected Northern Afghanistan. Tala -wa- barfak, Dahan-e-ghuri, Doshi districts of Baghlan and Hazrat sulatan, Piroz nakhchiear, Ieback, Khoram -wa-sarbagh districts of Samangan provinces were among those severely affected. This has exacerbated gaps in access to safe drinking water and food resulting in the use of contaminated water sources and enabling the spread of hygiene -related water born diseases. According to an assessment conducted by Aga Khan Foundation almost 6850 households comprising of 6973 females, 6735 males and 16817 boys and 17433 girls children in the four targeted districts of Samangan and 695 households i.e. 707 females, 684 males, 1706 boys and 1769 girls in three districts (Tala -wa- barfak, Dahan-e-ghuri, Doshi) of Baghlan provinces are Access to safe water for human consumption especially when the water sources are scarce has been identified as a major need for specific districts in both provinces. In the past three months Northern, Southern and Eastern regions experienced outbreaks of acute and watery diarrheal diseases and suspected cholera cases. A rapid assessment completed internally by AKF indicated that all village-level food production concerns were embedded in drought-related concerns affecting all rain-fed land. The majority of the villages in the AKF-A coverage area in Baghlan and Samangan provinces are over 70 percent rain fed, resulting in both productivity and drinking water issues. In Samangan, 37 percent of the population (135 000 people) were food insecure in summer 2011, and 20 percent of the Baghlan population being affected seriously by food insecurity (World Food Programme 2011). Food security relief has been offered to Samangan in 2011, but not to Baghlan because of general insecurity and limited funding. According to the Early Recovery (ER) Needs Assessment Report by the ER Cluster in September 2011, donors are active in proposed implementation districts of Samangan, but there remain major gaps in Baghlan . The major needs in these areas include establishment of drinking water sources, education on safe drinking water sources, awareness raising on the biased distribution of the drought burden on women and the results (poor health and economic status) and action on limited general sanitation and hygiene awareness. Activities

The proposed assistance is comprised of four components, which will benefit 7419 males and 7680 females, in addition to 18523 boys and 19202 girls. 1) Mapping of non-functional and new water points in target communities, with qualitative analysis of barriers

Page 390 of 432. to access to water points for women. 2) Rehabilitation of 150 non-functional water points in the seven target districts of Baghlan and Samangan provinces 3) Establishment of 250 new water points in the seven target districts of Baghlan and Samangan provinces. 4) Provide hygiene education focused on prevention of diarrheal disease, cholera and nutrition to 7545 households in the seven target districts of Baghlan and Samangan provinces 5) Promote 750 improved sanitation facilities in the seven target districts of Baghlan and Samangan provinces, and provide sanitation education to women, girls, boys and men. 6) Monitoring and evaluation: GIS technology will be utilized for mapping existing and new water points in drought-affected areas. Information on the usage of water points by households will be collected which can be used for further follow-up using qualitative approaches to understand social, environmental, and gender dynamics around the usage of water points. In addition, a Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) Survey will be conducted at baseline and at the end of the project to collect information on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of households. The activities will be implemented by the Health and Engineering teams of the Aga Khan Foundation - Afghanistan. Target villages have been identified based on a rapid assessment completed for this proposal in addition to an analysis completed by the Aga Khan Development Network’s humanitarian agency, FOCUS, which uses severity and duration of food gap to determine critically drought -affected areas. FOCUS does not currently implement WASH activities so AKF-A will be undertaking these activities. The proposed WASH assistance is in line with AKF-A’s WASH Strategy, which covers the longer-term recovery and rehabilitation phases. Phase 1 (January – February): AKF-A will leverage existing relations in target villages to, first, make contact with existing water user groups (WUG) to identify non-functional water points that can be rehabilitated, and feed into the mapping process. WUGs will identify sites for new water sources. Phase 2 (March – May): Water points will be rehabilitated and built, based on need, with the time and labour contributions from the WUG members. Improved sanitation facilities will be established and sanitation education will be provided to the target communities. Phase 3 (June – November): Community Health Workers (CHWs) and local teachers will be given trainings, separate for women and men, in hygiene promotion and water sanitation. These community members will then hold larger sessions with community members in attendance, at various popular venues. Attendance will be taken at the sessions, and follow-up visits will be made to each household after the first session. Before the first visit, baseline Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) data about hygiene practices will be collected, and a hygiene kit distributed to the female head of household appropriate to the size of the household . Participants will be encouraged to attend further sessions, where they will be provided with additional hygiene materials to supplement the original kit. This activity links the emergency relief with recovery efforts. Phase 4 (June - November): Follow-up visits to households will be made every three months (depending on when they attended their first session) to collect baseline and final data on uptake of hygiene messages, and conversion into hygienic practice, in addition to household disease outcomes. Follow-up visits will also identify which water points are being used by which households for mapping purposes. Outcomes

1. Improved access to safe drinking water with rehabilitation of 150 water points and establishing of 250 new water points for 56 target villages of seven districts in Baghlan (Districts: Tala -wa- barfak, Dahan-e-ghuri, Doshi) and Samangan (Districts: Hazrat sulatan, Piroz nakhchiear, Ieback, Khoram -wa-sarbagh) with an emphasis on overcoming barriers to access for 7680 women in the target area. 2. Improved sanitation and hygiene knowledge, attitudes and practices amongst target communities, with separate targeted interventions for 7680 women and 7419 men. 3. Improved access to appropriate and essential sanitation resources in target areas by establishing 750 improved sanitation facilities.

Enhanced Western - Ghor Geographical Fields Needs

Ghor province is amongst the provinces the most affected by seasonal water scarcity. Many years of conflict, recurrent droughts, the flood of 2009 2010, influx of hundreds of IDPs and recently returned refugees and the fact that 75 % of the population is under the poverty line, all contribute to the vulnerability in the province . According to NRVA 2007 2008, Ghor province comes second to Helmand, in terms of limited access to safe drinking water with the coverage of 8% of the population with access to drinking water. The winter preparedness plan focuses on the impacts of harsh weather (extreme temperature, road blocked 6 months a year) on livelihoods and survival in Ghor province. It was assessed for the last two years by the PDMC that 2,834 families in both Shahrak and Tulak are in a very critical and vulnerable situation. ACF undertook assessment in some villages of the priority list (limited access to water) provided by the district governor of Shahrak and an assessment is ongoing in Tulak district. Some water points exist in the two districts, but majority are dysfunctional and required repairing and a sustainable maintenance plan (ACF assessment 2010). The population is very motivated to be involved in contributing to the creation and / or rehabilitation of the water points. The predominant source of drinking water is surface water from shallow rivers and creeks followed by springs and Karezes. But such sources of drinking water are not safe for consumption and contribute to the spread of diarrheal diseases. This surface water and shallow dug out reservoirs are also very dependent on the precipitation and the quantity of water is not enough in the dry season to cover the basic water needs. Access to safe water remains a severe worry for approximately 80% of the villages in Tulak and Shahrak districts. The current water sources are prone to seasonal drying up and cannot be considered safe nor sustainable water sources. Limited access to sanitation facilities at household level and a general lack of hygienic practices and knowledge often lead to a high health risk and spread of disease. The ACF needs assessment survey conducted in 2010 shows that the coverage of improved latrines is very close to 0%. Open defecation is common and especially near the river, and good hygiene practice is very low amongst the population. It is obvious that women and children are more affected by the scarcity of water, as they are the ones who have to collect water, consume more water compare to others and to secure water for the family. The time to fetch water per family is a huge concern especially for women and children. Children and / or women are going to fetch water an average of 7 times per day and the average time to reach the water point, to fill and to come back is 18 minutes. That represents an average of 2 hours of the day spent on water fetching. Any improvement in water access will increase time availability for women and children to focus on other activities and especially will allow women to take care of their children, spend time on other businesses or simply take some rest during the day and will also allow children to be more regular at schools. Gender would be mainstreamed throughout the project cycle. Women will play a critical role from identification of water points to being part of water committees and to water management and hygiene promotion campaign.

Page 393 of 432. All new water points have to be selected taking into consideration the need of the women to stay discreet in order to respect their intimacy. A lot of small villages (around 10 families) exist in both districts. These people are often forgotten and thus never receive any support. To build a well for these communities is very expensive, thus, household water treatment such as distribution of biosand filter seems to be the most appropriate solution for these forgotten communities. Activities

WATER SUPPLY Please note that this project will be implemented from June 2012 to May 2013. - Construction of 60 new public water points, including site selection, digging tools donation to the population, community mobilization work for digging up the well to the static level by the community, the deepening below the static level with dewatering equipment, construction and installation of reinforced concrete elements (cutting edge, rings, shaft, well curb…), the construction of the apron and the drainage system, the installation of an AFRIDEV hand pump on each point and the water analysis and monitoring of the activities and post activities. - Reparation of a minimum of 50 broken hand pumps, assessment of the repairs needed and water analysis and monitoring of the activities and post activities. - Protecting the intake source and improving the public access to 6 springs / Karezes, construction of a collection chamber connected to gravity fed network with public tap stand, water analysis and monitoring of the activities and post activities. - Distribution of 200 biosand filters as demonstration in the villages’ mosques and schools. This household water treatment facility will be available for the population at a subsidized price affordable for the community . The BSF delivery to the families will include the training of men and women on the operation and maintenance, the identification of one focal point per village for a continued follow up and water analysis and monitoring of the activities and post activities. - Setting up one water committee per village for the new and / or rehabilitated water point, explanation of the project and the ACF approach and selection criteria, the role and duties of the water committees. The water committee will be involved in the design of the project. Since 1 female CHP and 2 caretakers will be in each water committee, the women will be fully involved in the process. The project will also include consolidation of the operation and maintenance (O&M) rules of the 116 public water points, the training of the different stakeholders on their roles, the identification, selection and training of the 232 caretakers and of the 7 mechanics, the setting of the O&M costs recovery system and the setting of a new spare parts shop network in collaboration with Ghor RRD. SANITATION - Every village of intervention will receive sanitation and excreta valorisation trainings in order to empower the community to build their own latrine and to dispose of their excreta. - Construction of 10 blocks of school latrines in 10 schools (2,500 students benefit from increased sanitation facilities at school level). The students and teachers are trained at the latrine block operation and maintenance. HYGIENE - Identification of the most risky practices and delivery of the subsequent key sanitation and hygiene messages to the 3,000 families benefiting from the project, including a baseline KAP survey, home based sessions for women and girls (at the rate of at least three sessions/visits per household), mosque based sessions for men and boys, special training for mullahs and teachers, child to child sessions at school, the training of community hygiene promoters. - Distribution of 3,000 hygiene kits (containing each two Jerry cans, a bar of soap, hand washing facility and a hygiene promotion leaflet). - All these activities will be managed by both ACF team and well trained CHP couples. Creation of 10 hygiene clubs managed by the students in 10 gender balanced schools and training of the hygiene club members and of the teachers on hygiene promotion to ensure that they will train all the students through a minimum of three hygiene promotion sessions. - Continuous monitoring of the project will be ensured throughout the time frame of the project using robust and well developed WASH indicators. - Women's role in water management and hygiene promotion will be strengthened. Outcomes

- 60 new public water points are constructed (8,400 people). They are used, operated and maintained by communities. - A minimum of 50 broken hand pumps have been repaired and are operational, used and maintained by communities (7,000 people),

Enhanced Northern - Samangan Geographical Fields Needs

The Province of Samangan is considered as the most affected Province by the last severe drought of 2008. According to 2008 data, access to safe drinking water was 15% (RRD). The acute bloody and watery diarrhea rates in the province have been constantly very high (a total of 39,325 cases in 2010 and 45,407 in 2009) (Source: SCA). A total of 391 cases of Cholera were assessed in Dare-Suf Payen in 2009 (Source: AMI). In addition the situation is further compounded by the limited income of the communities (in a good year it is 0.45$ whereas it was 0.22$ in 2008). Samangan has witnessed recurrent disasters such as: (a) Floods: A total of 2,068 families were severely affected in 2010 “Source: OCHA Mazar report, August 2010 based on Government, ARCS, UN, NGO assessments”; a total of 1,309 families were affected in 2009; (b) Earthquake: A total of 2,500 families were severely affected in Dare-Suf Bala, Dare-Suf Payen and Ruyi Du Ab districts “Source: NR Emergency Shelter Working Group and OCHA Mazar reports 2010, based on Government, ARCS, UN, NGO including ACF assessments. (c) Drought. There is no exact data available due to the fact that there was no an assessment done. The depth of the water table is between 55 and 70m depth, but the hardness of the soil, the quality of the water (salty) and the yield (50% of the well are negative) demand to dig expensive deep borehole from 150m up to 400m which is not pertinent given the low density of population. The main water resource is surface water, runoff from rainfall and snow melt, and stocking in traditional non safe water reservoirs named as Kandas or ponds. These surface storages are obsolete and need improvement for water protection and accessibility. The population has to walk long distances to reach the Kandas, especially when the nearer ones are empty due to low precipitation or lack of capacity. Because the water is coming from a large drainage basin, the water carries all the upstream contamination which further results in deterioration of water quality. To ensure the supply of 15 L / person / day (SPHERE Standard), it is needed to find additional water sources. This can be done by digging additional Kandas or ponds. It is also possible to use the few available springs (and link it to the villages with a network) and rivers. Concerning the quality of the Kandas, ponds and river water, it will be increased by using the MRRD standard design. The storage and transport bucket are often obsolete and not clean. Based on UNICEF best estimates for 2005, access to sanitation facilities is as low as 12%. As the fertilizer coverage is only 40% of the total household, promotion of the use of excreta as compost is a pertinent pilot project, with a double pit composting latrine system. The KAP in terms of hygiene is very low and the problem is compounded because of low sanitation infrastructure and habits. Thus, the need of HP sessions is very important to prevent any outbreak. As 2 cholera outbreaks occurred in 2008 & 2009, ACF will include cholera preparedness in the HP sessions. ACF will assess the gaps of the Cholera contingency plan to support the local authorities in term of HP session, water guard distribution and good use by the community.

WATER SUPPLY Please note that the project will be implemented between September 2012 and August 2013. 22,365 persons have sustainable access to safe drinking water in accordance with standards promoted by MRRD, WHO and SPHERE. The implementation of the facilities will benefit the most vulnerable population, such as women, disabled, children and women headed households: - Improvement, cleaning and protection (sedimentation/filtration basin, plastering) of 48 Kandas for 9,205 people. - 18 fenced water storage ponds with a well outside the fence equipped with AFRIDEV KABUL hand pump and an apron will be constructed. The pond’s bank and well will be high enough to prevent any contamination from the floods. The water passes through a sand/gravel strainer before being pumped and thus increases the water quality (Beneficiaries: 12,460 people). - Drilling or rehabilitation of 20 boreholes / hand pumps. There are many places in Dare-Suf Bala and Dare-Suf Payen where it is possible to implement basic hand pump installation and rehabilitation. This activity will be coupled with the training of caretakers and mechanics and the creation of a spare part supplier (beneficiaries: 2,800 people). - 1 research on innovative water fetching system from river water source will be studied and will cover the needs for 100 families (Beneficiaries: 700 persons). Several options will be studied (Ram pump system, paddle wheel system, animal power strength, wind power…). - Distribution of 600 biosand filters as demonstration in the villages’ mosques and schools. This household water treatment facility will be available for the population at a subsidized price. The BSF delivery to the families will include the training of men and women on the operation and maintenance, the identification of one focal point per village for a continued follow up and water analysis and monitoring of the activities and post activities. - Long term sustainability/protection of the water sources will be addressed through community mobilization and establishment of 8 water committees in each CDC (1 president, 1 treasury, 1 secretary, Cholera focal point and 1 mechanic) for the new water point, including training on O&M and spare parts and tools distribution. If possible, women will be represented in each water committee. In addition 2 care takers per water point will be trained for light operation and maintenance (142 care takers) SANITATION - Every CDC of intervention will receive sanitation and excreta disposal trainings in order empower the community to build their own latrines and to dispose of the excreta (in partnership with food security team). HYGIENE - 22,365 persons have access to knowledge and improved hygiene behavior through hygiene promotion sessions. 40 community hygiene promoters (CHP, 1 male, 1 female) will be trained to undertake and promote HP sessions at the community level. Both men and women will be an integral part of the hygiene promotion intervention (women at home, men and children at public places) Cholera preparedness will be included in the sessions and 2 focal persons per villages will be identified. This cholera focal point will be linked with the health center facilities and the CDC cholera focal of the water committee to launch alert on eventual outbreak. These ones will be trained to take the first steps and to report to the provincial level about cholera cases. 3,720 hygiene kits including 2 jerry cans 20L, one 20L covered water storage with tap, 1 soap and 1 hygiene leaflet will be distributed to the families benefiting from the new water point. - Continuous monitoring of the project will be ensured throughout the time frame of the project using robust and well developed WASH indicators. - Gender would be mainstreamed throughout the project cycle. Special emphasis will be given to strengthen women's role in water management and hygiene promotion. Outcomes

Enhanced Northern - Samangan Geographical Fields Needs

Ruy-e- Doab is a very remote district of Samangan and have been subject to drought over the last 5 years, the last one being particularly acute. Therefore Solidarites conducted an in -depth WaSH assessment in Ruy-e-Doab in August 2011. During the assessment, Health centers surveys revealed that the prevalence rate of acute watery diarrheas, acute bloody diarrheas and typhoid is about 12 to 25% per year, with a constant increasing trend over the last 3 years. In winter, these populations use mostly river water to fulfill all their water needs, either by collecting the water directly from the river stream, or from kandahs, fed by small unprotected canals coming from the river. The rivers are usually fed by mountains springs when the snow coverage is sufficient. In dry years, the spring flows are too low to feed the river bed all the way to the downstream villages, leaving about 27000 people without immediate water access. It appeared that most of the people have out -stretched coping mechanisms such as day-long water fetching. Boys are the main water fetchers of the areas and during the dry season they are committed to walk 6 to 9 hours round trip with donkeys to bring the minimum water required to their household, which heavily impairs their school attendance. Most of the time, they walk the river where the water still flows . In other places, people ask the upstream villages not to use the river for a week so that they can access it and fill up their kandahs. Kandahs are 200 m3 reservoirs dug in limestone where river water is then stored for weeks, becoming thus highly biologically-active. Kandah water showed a very high fecal coliforms content and turbidity over 100 NTU, which is highly unsuitable for human consumption if not treated. Over the last years, the dry-river season started earlier and earlier every year and the dry -river bed keeps expanding. The population clearly expressed their wish for sustainable water points. Today, most of the water points implemented by NGOs (including SI's hand-dug well) turned either dry or unsafe because of the lack of renewal of the water storage and the lowering of the water table. Without the implementation of strategic water points providing sufficient water to cover not only drinking but also personal hygiene needs, these population ’s health will clearly deteriorate and some outbreaks are to be foreseen. Also, given the long distances to find clean water, if at all, women and girls are usually not allowed to go to the water points on their own and hence have reduced access to water dedicated to their personal hygiene and are more exposed to urinary or gynecologic infections. Besides, the area is highly subject to open defecation practices (98%), despite the existence of public latrines. These latrines are barely used by this population because of their lack of privacy. And they are totally unused by women and children, who mostly defecate in their compound, which increases their exposure to pathogens and thus their vulnerability to diseases.In addition, these areas are also subject to flash floods in which case open defecation is a catalyzer of water sources contamination and must be eradicated.

Page 399 of 432. To monitor and prepare for an emergency response, a drought indicator follow -up has been implemented since August 2011 to monitor the progress of this slow-onset disaster (i.e. the dryness) in terms of hydrology, health and coping mechanisms. In addition an additional technical assessment is being conducted in October and November 2011 in order to have the necessary information to design tailor-made activities. The assessment consists of:

PHASE 1: -Focus Group Discussions with elders, poorest people (with neither land nor livestock), women and children (boys and girls separated) -Household surveys -School surveys -Health centers surveys -Water point database update & mapping PHASE 2: -Geophysical survey (resistivity sounding) -Spring catchment survey -Well deepening survey Activities

The planned activities can be divided in 2 categories: 1) Prospection and implementation of sustainable and disasters-resistant water points and 2) Sanitation and hygiene promotion based on a community approach.

1)The only possible sustainable and safe water points of the area come from groundwater, be it via permanent mountain springs far from villages or deep boreholes. Therefore the water supply activity will consist of: a.Implementation of 15 hand-pump equipped deep boreholes (1 per CDC) if the water table and the water salinity allows it. The water table in quite low in Ruy and Qashqa area, about 50m deep and most of the hand dug wells are too shallow, therefore Solidarités is currently conducting a geophysical assessment to locate fresh groundwater (some of it is brackish) at a maximum depth of 60 m to allow for the use of hand pumps (Afridev Pamir). b.Rehabilitation or deepening of 6 existing wells to ensure the wells remain operational during drought season. c.Provision of 5 flood-resistant pipe schemes to the villages from identified permanent spring catchments . Wherever villages are at reach of springs, with good water quality and permanent sufficient flowrate, a catchment will be built and connected to a protected (flood resistant) pipe scheme that would reach the villages. d.In CDC where neither springs nor aquifers are within reach and people still rely on surface water and kandahs, 350 biosand filters will be given to ensure pathogen removal, along with comprehensive water treatment trainings to ensure their adequate operation and proper maintenance. e.Consolidation of existing Water Management Committee and attempt to include women, despite the very conservative purdah in place in the area. f.Creation of 15 Water and Sanitation Comittees or strengthening of existing management systems in charge of collecting fees, maintenance and spare parts supply as well as sanitation and hygiene promotion, including necessary technical training for maintenance. g.Strengthening of a spare-part supply chain for hand pumps involving local traders and WSC. h. Water quality monitoring of turbidity(<5NTU) and fecal coliforms (0CFU/100ml)

2)In each CDC or village where water supply activities will be implemented, sanitation and good hygiene practices will be promoted: a.Sanitation and hygiene will be promoted in mosques (men), households (women), schools (boys and girls), bazaars and fields by various means of message transmission and above all by targeting every single member of a family: men, women, children, elderly, to leave no hygiene gap. In order to design accurate hygiene

Page 400 of 432. promotion activities and to take into account the needs of every gender at all ages, an anthropologic study will be conducted at the very beginning of the project with total immersion of a female specialist in a sentinel household for one month, aiming at understanding people's relation to water, excreta and body hygiene. b.In parallel, 15 practical workshops on latrine construction will be implemented in each CDC or group of CDC to show people how to build a latrine. Participants will first discuss with sanitation promoters the various possible designs (pit, VIP, vault) that suit their needs and budget best, taking into account the material availability of the area. The issue of privacy for women and girls will be raised and technical solutions reviewed . The practical training will consist of partial building of latrines, with special focus on technical issues. Local masons will also be trained to provide support to the population in their latrine constructions. Tools will be provided to workshop attendants for the duration of the training, and handed over to the CDCs. c.Distribution of 3800 hygiene kits (1 per each household) participating to hygiene and sanitation sessions and workshops. d.Training of 45 Hygiene Promoters (including men and women if possible) and Teachers Outcomes

The outcomes will be measured as follows:

- Implementation or rehabilitation of 20 sustainable and safe water points, one in each CDC, be it deep boreholes, shallow protected wells or spring catchment, based on the result of the hydrological survey and community demand.

- Provision of 350 biosand filters whenever no safe groundwater is available

- Strengthening of existing Water and Sanitation Committees (no realistic indicators on the percentage of women involved can be given at this stage)

- Provision of 15 practical training on latrine building.

- Training of 45 hygiene promoters (men and women)

- 200 Hygiene promotion sessions carried out in all public places, schools and households, targeting men, women, boys, girls and elderly

- Reduction of water borne diseases prevalence rate in summer 2012 by 50% compare to summer 2011 and absence of cholera outbreak

- 75% Reduction of time spent on water chores mostly involving boys and thus, increase of school attendance.

- Water volume availability (at least 15 lpdc) and of water access, especially dedicated to personal hygiene of women and girls.

-Reduction of open defecation practices from 98% to 50% for adults and children

-Increase of household latrine coverage by 50%

-Increase of hand washing with soap facilities in school and health centers to 80%

-Increase of hand washing with soap practice at home to 80%

Enhanced Capital - Kabul Geographical Fields Needs

Solidarités International has already worked in 19 KIS from March 2010 until August 2011, supporting about 12500 people in need of proper sanitation and safe water access and now aims at covering the 21 remaining KIS (5350 people) in need. An assessment has been carried out in May 2011 to understand their needs.

The main issue regarding these informal settlements is the extremely poor environmental sanitation which is creating significant health risks for all the individuals and particularly children. People are digging drains in the middle of the paths, black and grey water coming from the shelters is drained off in the open air. Given that herding cattle for Kabul butchers is one of the unreliable livelihoods of the KIS population, some communities are living with cattle and no clear separation between human beings and animals. Children are playing within livestock manure spread area, which is leading to dramatic hygienic conditions with a high level of vector spreading. There are basic family sanitation facilities with defecation holes sometimes within or outside the shelter and sometimes bathrooms, but the existing facilities do not allow people to take care of their personal hygiene and do not ensure privacy for women and girls. Indeed, most of the shelters consist of one single room and bathing is done out of containers in the middle of the room and latrines often have very low walls with no roofs. In all areas, scattering of solid waste is wide spread, these are not only domestic because some communities are collecting diverse waste within Kabul for further selling or to be used as heating materials. During the rainy season the situation rapidly deteriorates with stagnant water everywhere. Beside sanitation issues, safe drinking water access is a daily hassle. Some people have access to the few hand pumps that exist within the camp (1 for 1000 people on average, when SPHERE standards require 1 for 500 minimum) or in the neighborhood. Other people receive temporary UNICEF water tankering while the rest has to purchase water either form private water trucking companies, or out of nearby reservoirs at a very high cost, which prevents them from having sufficient water for their personal hygiene. In addition, water storage conditions at household level are highly unsanitary. The water is stored in damaged and not protected jerry cans, metallic drums or buckets.

In these settlements, children and women’s personal hygiene is really at stake. Most of the population wears dirty rags, has no proper winter clothes, and very often children have no shoes while often playing in the middle of the garbage. Finally, the great majority of the informal settlement’s people don’t have access to reliable livelihoods. Indeed,

Page 403 of 432. most of the households rely on daily work, garbage collection, begging, or other unreliable work for income generation. This extremely low average income (around 2.5 € a day for 7 persons) can cover, in the best cases, their food needs, leaving all other needs (safe water, hygiene…) unattended which increases their level of vulnerability towards waterborne and environment-borne diseases. An in-depth assessment will be conducted in all 40 existing KIS to assess the level of water supply, sanitation and hygiene practices and have a better livelihoods understanding amongst men, women and boys and girls to ensure that all of them are targeted equally. Nineteen (19) of the KIS are already covered by SI previous WaSH programs conducted from March 2010 until August 2011 so the global assessment will provide a thorough monitoring of the impact of the previous activities, which will allow adapting the new ones dedicated to the remaining 21 KIS according to the lessons learnt. Health data are also monitored throughout Health actors of the KIS as a measurement of the sanitary improvement impact. Activities

Given the variety of actors working in the KIS, Solidarites has taken into account other NGOs' coverage to define its activities and areas of intervention in order to avoid overlaps.

The planned activities can be divided in 3 categories:

1.Improve the quantity of safe water access to the population a.Rehabilitation of 10 hand pumps, construction of an apron around the pumps for proper drainage b.Installation of 11 water reservoirs with a distribution ramp wherever people rely on water trucking c. Water quality monitoring (Fecal coliforms and turbidity) d.Advocate to Kabul Municipality through relevant humanitarian agencies (OCHA, UNHCR, UNICEF, WaSH Cluster and Protection Cluster) for the right to drill boreholes in all KIS that do not have free water access e.Strengthen existing water management committee and when possible advocate for the presence of female members.

2.Improve sanitary conditions a.Provide people with basic materials and technical support to build or improve their own pit latrines themselves (800 in total) with local cooked bricks and mud b.Provide people with basic materials and technical support to build their own bathroom (800 in total) inside their house to improve women and children’s personal hygiene and ensure women’s and girls’privacy c.To build, with the population, appropriate drainage canals, infiltration trenches and soak -way pits for all waste water (laundry, kitchen, bathroom) d.To determine, with the population, adapted means of waste management to reduce the amount of flies or other vectors, such as recycling of organic waste as fuel or animal food, burning or burying of plastic and paper and building of 21 proper garbage dumpsites. e.Livestock waste management in camps where animals are herded, with the aim of separating animal manure disposal areas from children’s playgrounds.

3.Raise hygiene awareness among the population: a.Hygiene promotion sessions to men, women and children, with different levels of emphasis, based on the community level of sanitation (i.e. reinforced focus on animal waste management in camps with livestock) b.Distribution of 800 UNICEF standard hygiene kits (1 per household) Outcomes

The outcomes will be measured as follows: -Securing of 21 existing water points (implementation of 11 reservoirs and distribution ramps, 10 borehole hand pumps rehabilitation) -Building or upgrading of 1 latrine per house by the population based on material and technical support provided by SI (800 maximum) -Reduction of risk of water borne disease and absence of cholera outbreak -Reduction of money spent on water by 25% -Water volume consumption of at least 15 lpdc - Water usage dedicated to personal hygiene of women and children increased by 25% -Reduction of open defecation practices for adults and children to less than 10% -Increase of household latrine and bathroom coverage up to 80% -Sustainable solid waste management schemes implemented in each KIS -Increase of hand washing with soap practice at home up to 80% -Increase of bathing frequency for children and women to at least once a week.

In 2011, more than one million people faced serious shortages of safe drinking water with the resultant increase in disease outbreaks, water inaccessibility and risk for displacement. This situation was also associated with unsafe excreta disposal and poor hygiene practices. The combination of untimely snow and inadequate rainfall caused depletion and lowering of ground water and unavailability of surface water leading to non-functional water points and the need for urgent rehabilitation works.

In a detailed household survey by IRC carried out in July 2011 in 27 villages of eight districts in Herat province (western region), 49% of household reported that the water sources have been damaged or contaminated ” and 24% reported that “water sources have dried up . A gradual decline of ground water table was also observed in other part of the western region. The emergency food security assessment (EFSA) 1st phase (August 2011) indicated an almost 60% decline of ground water in 14 food deficit provinces. UNICEF WASH Emegency Project will cover all th eprovinces in need for WASH interventions in 2012 with a more focus 18 most affected provinces ( Badghis, Faryab, Jawzjan, Saripul, Balkh, Samangan, Khost , Baghlan, Kunduz, Takhar, Laghman, Nooristan, Nimroze, Paktika, Bamyan, Oruzgan , Daikundi and Ghor.) identified as in acute need for safe drinking water by MRRD and regional WASH clusters in 2011 NRVA (national risk and vulnerability analysis) 2008 data still remains the official government source of

Page 406 of 432. information. However there are studies in the pipeline that can better highlight the coverage of water and sanitation in the country. NRVA 2008 shows a low coverage of 27.2% in water supply and 5.1 % in sanitation. No further information is available on the practice of hand-washing except for limited, small-scale MOPH and NGO surveys. The WHO /UNICEF joint monitoring plan (JMP) for 2008 reflected a better picture of the situation with 48% coverage in water (78% urban and 39% rural) leaving 52% of people using unimproved sources of water. In addition, it shows 37% coverage (60% urban and 30% rural) with improved sanitation (leaving 16% open defecation and 47% of people with unimproved sanitation nationwide). The UNICEF supported Multi Cluster Indicator Survey (MICS 2010) data, although not formally shared yet, has shown a better progress in the sector.

Every dollar spent on improving WASH generates economic benefits and social development. . In 2011 UNICEF supported programme reached to nearly 200,000 targeted people with SWPs and community WASH and joined other partners to reach one million people with short term interventions .

In 2012 UNICEF aims to reach to 800,000 affected populations as indicated above. Special needs of girls, women and children will be taken into consideration in terms of dignity and privacy. Focus will be put on communities affected by drought / flood and severe scarcity for drinking water; areas experiencing outbreak of diseases such as cholera or diarrhea; resettlement areas of returnees; IDPs; affected schools and health care facilities. Provision of water will be accompanied with the project will be based on rapid needs assessment which will be conducted. Special emphasis will be placed on the needs of children and women as the most affected and vulnerable. This will include special hygiene education for women and children. Women will be involved in planning, implementation and monitoring as well as in the selection of Latrine options and location of water sources. Support will be provided to communities in the form of household water treatment and construction of demonstration household toilet along with promotion of hand washing practices and other key hygiene practices. Women will implement hygiene education activities Emergency toilets will be constructed in the camps. Activities

1. Problem and need analysis: In 2011, in the mainly northern Provinces of Afghanistan, a combination of untimely snow and inadequate rainfall caused the depletion and lowering of ground water and surface water levels, this lead to many water points to render insufficient water quantity and quality, and has called for an urgent need for rehabilitation works.

Oxfam Novib (ON) carried out EFSA in Shirin Tagab district of Faryab province and Shozma Qala and Sangcharak districts of Saripul province with partners CHA and COAR. The EFSA results indicate these three districts as some of the worst affected districts of Afghanistan that require emergency food and water assistance. The assessment results show population movement out of this region in search of employment and distress sale of livestock as their coping mechanism.

The ON’s assessment targeted 150 households (HHs) samples in three districts indicates that 98% of families have a cereal stock for less than 2 weeks in assessment villages. 12% households are women headed and disable person heads 5%. 2% of population is physically or mentally challenged. These are one of the most vulnerable groups of the community. 2% of entire population is above age of 65.

Water Supply The impacts of the drought are further exacerbated by chronic vulnerability due to under -development in the affected areas; with a substantial number of non-functioning water-points and insufficient water point coverage. Furthermore, existing water sources in communities that range from Kandas, springs, and wells produce in sufficient water quantity. According to the ON EFSA assessment in 150 HHs, some 70% of water-points in three districts are non-functioning due to insufficient maintenance and decreasing levels of ground water. In addition the effects of low water levels have deteriorated water quality at many water points with increased levels of turbidity and salinity. The impacts on affected communities, especially on women burdened with the daily responsibility of fetching water, have to cope with increase distances to fetch water from water sources further afield, and often in conflict with neighbouring communities. In some hard hit areas, communities have little option than to buy their water, there are some reports water vendor fees as high as 200 Afghanis for 300 litres of water (14.6 USD / m3).

Page 409 of 432. Hygiene and Sanitation The ON assessment findings found the general level of hygiene to be low in the majority of households surveyed, and that many households lack basic knowledge on issues of safe drinking water, hand washing and safe excreta disposal practices. Furthermore, according to the joint monitoring plan (JMP) (WHO/UNICEF) in 2008, rural coverage of improved sanitation was only 30%. The sanitation coverage is low, and latrines are not well located in upland rural communities resulting in contaminated water sources.

Public health There are reported cases of widespread Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD), generally transmitted through faecal-oral contamination paths from contaminated food, drinking water, and poor hygiene. The poor environmental health conditions in many households are exacerbated through insufficient water quantity thus faecal-oral diseases are a serious public health risk to the target population.

Needs The EFSA ON assessment highlighted substantial water and sanitation gaps that remain to be addressed in order to reduce the potential for further displacement of communities and to prevent the outbreak of water and sanitation related diseases. There is a need to provide longer -term Disaster Risk Reduction measures more sustainable WASH activities, such as rainwater conservation, protection of water sources, and the rehabilitation or construction of strategic water sources to meet long -term water supply needs and strengthen the community’s resilience to natural hazards. Activities

HRVA and Gender Assessment: During the initial stages of the project a hazard and vulnerability assessment will be conducted in the 63 targeted communities to identify the main hazards and vulnerabilities. In addition a gender analysis will assess women’s, girls’, boys’ and men’s roles and responsibilities around livelihoods, water collection, sanitation and hygiene practices. The project activities will integrate these findings to ensure that the cross -cutting issues such as gender prospective is programmed in all WASH and livelihood activities.

WASH / Disaster Risk Reduction: Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction (CB-DRR) will be at the core of the Livelihood and WASH response, integrating sustainable coping mechanisms to improve the resilience of vulnerable communities affected by persistent drought. Wide range of mitigation measures will be incorporated into existing water facilities to ensure adequate water quality and quantity in line with SPHERE standards. In addition under the cash for work activities the construction of community owned water systems harnessing technologies such as increased catchment and storage capacity, protection of water sources through increased sanitation coverage and artificial ground water recharge systems will be developed.

To optimise use of the water supply and sanitation facilities public health promotion will be at the centre of the WASH response activities. The activities will include an initial public health assessment to analyse the problems, risks, priorities, and what essential activities are needed to improve public health conditions in communities as well as schools. There will be emphasis on community and gender participation with trainings of community hygiene promoters to scale up hygiene awareness campaigns. The use of IEC materials will promote key messages in hand washing, safe excreta disposal, drinking safe water and the use of rehydration (ORS). In consultation with men and women, the construction of culturally appropriate latrines will be provided for households and where necessary in schools, and will include hand-washing facilities.

To optimize positive impacts for women and girls the program will encourage gender sensitive WASH facilities appropriate in terms of use, access and protection. Moreover, the Gender balance will be addressed where possible with equal assigned roles and responsibilities to both women and men throughout the program implementation. The program will establish mechanisms of exchange of routine information with the target population, through existing community structures elders and local association groups.

Promotion of Water management structures Oxfam Novib and its partners in the targeted 63 communities will undertake a activities that would strengthen the rehabilitation of existing water supply facilities. These activities will help improve access to safe drinking water and excreta disposal.

Strengthening capacities of Water Committees: To ensure the sustained functioning of the community water systems elected members of the communities’

Page 410 of 432. equal men and woman will form water management committees trained in the operation and maintenance of WASH facilities. In addition the project will raise awareness on issues of Water Resources Management and conflict prevention measures with local actors and water committees groups, with the aim to encourage the preservation and harmonised sharing of water resources. Outcomes

Expected outcomes of the program:

• 63 communities benefit from gender sensitive safe water supply schemes resilient to natural hazards. • 63 community-based gender balanced WASH committees established and trained in operations and maintenance of water and sanitation systems. • 63 communities have improved access to gender sensitive safe sanitation facilities. • 63 community based gender balanced health and hygiene promoters trained. • 63 community based water surveillance/testing established and water testing results are shared. • Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) strategies developed and mainstreamed in 63 communities aimed at reducing vulnerabilities of the community in face of shocks from natural hazards.

Enhanced Northern - Balkh Geographical Fields Needs

A WASH needs assessment of Kishindeh district (Balkh Province) was conducted in October 2011 by ACTED Afghanistan’s Appraisal, Monitoring, and Evaluation Unit (AMEU). In addition to gathering basic information about the district, it examined interlinked issues related to food security, water access, household hygiene and sanitation, infrastructure, the consequences of last spring’s floods and the present drought. 3 household surveys per village were taken for the WASH assessment. One focus group per village (14 villages in total) was conducted for WASH assessment. The sample survey provides a broadly accurate representation of the picture of the WASH situation in the district as a whole.

The results of this assessment are given below

? Poor availability and access to water: In Kishindeh district, communities identified access to sufficient quantities of water as their primary need. 64.3% of villages get their water from a river or stream, and many of these waterways are dry for several months of the year. On average, women travel for one hour to retrieve water, and some households travel for up to 2 hours. People rely on water from rivers or streams that are dry for up to 5 months of the year. Although last summer MRRD distributed water in the district using trucks, it was not in sufficient quantities to meet the required need. 21.4% of those surveyed by ACTED had access to a well but reported non-functioning hand pump. ? Use of unsafe water: 7.1% use drinking water from an unprotected spring, and 7.1% from an unprotected well using a handpump. The Jerry Cans used for carrying water have small openings and are therefore not amenable for proper cleaning that is required to keep clean water for drinking. All the respondent reported prevalence of water borne diseases. ? Lack of sanitation: All of the surveyed had inadequate sanitation facilities. None of those interviewed had household latrines and all defecated in an open area. None of them have separate facilities for girls or women and only 21.4% have adequate lighting in this area Activities

• Identify the most used water sources and rehabilitate all those that are currently dysfunctional. • Cash for work in areas severely affected by drought to be rehabilitated basic water sources and and Kandas. • Assist population to build house hold level latrines • Set up bio-sand filter to facilitate the availability of water for using for drinking

Access to safe drinking water is a basic human right and essential for achieving gender equality, sustainable development and poverty alleviation. Having water points nearer the homes will reduce the distance women and girls have to walk, thus allowing time for other activities, including education, childcare, growing food and income generation. Water, sanitation, and hygiene are unquestionably gender issues. In Tarin Kot city, women and children bear primary responsibility for collecting water to drink. In addition, women and children suffer severe opportunity costs since they spend so much of their lives dealing with water issues or caring for family members sickened by unsafe water. For instance, based on a recent Public Opinion Research which was funded by Chemonics international and designed and conducted by ACTD in August 2011, it has been found that yet 2.9% of Tarin Kot citizens use water from rivers or springs. According to this study people have very limited knowledge about safe drinking water; it is found that 40.5% of the respondents thought that the best way to know that the water is clean for drinking is if the water looks clean. Around 13.9% said that they don’t know and 2.3% could not response to this question. Therefore, though some of them knew about some of the methods they stated that they are not able to purify their drinking water because of its costs or it is not a common practice among families. Based on this study, majority of women and girls in focus group discussion expressed that all of the households do not have access to a public water supply system, because public water supply system is not available within the city. People use water from rivers, streams, springs, or wells, wealthier citizen have their own deep wells and use water piped. The most frequently cited reasons for which respondents stated they do not use the safe drinking water were because service is not available to them. The below are women voices asking safe drinking water... “We want clean drinking water”. (Older Women FGD-01) “There may be some changes in the city but we don’t have drinking water”. (Younger Women FGD-01) On the other hand, access to water and sanitation is therefore related to the time that girls and boys need to attend school, and can be the reason why they are kept out of school. As well as, access to drinking water and sanitation does not only improve the health of a family, but it also provides an opportunity for girls and boys to go to school, and for women to use their time more productively than in fetching water. Thus, water near the home produces significant improvements in nutrition and health. The carrying of water over long distances is a health hazard, especially during development and pregnancy periods. Furthermore, lack of sanitation and poor hygiene are responsible for the transmission of diarrhea, cholera, typhoid and several parasitic infections. Moreover, the incidence of these diseases and others linked to poor sanitation – e.g., round worm, whip worm –is highest among the poor, especially school-aged children. These diseases have a strong negative impact on the health and nutrition of children and their learning capacities,

Page 414 of 432. and contribute to significant absences from school. To promote hygiene within a community it is not enough simply to provide messages about hygiene; the capacity of the community to analyze situations and initiate changes must also be improved. In this sense, hygiene promotion is comparable to community development activities. Therefore, the provision of education on hygiene to men, women and school children will promote proper sanitation and cleanliness in the communities and ensure lasting results. Education of school child on hygiene is important; the school child could be an agent of behavior change and can share their knowledge with other member of families. Activities

The project comprises of these main activities 1. Community mobilisation (particularly women) to be involved in decision making processes regarding water point site selection. ACTD regards communities as a vital element in increasing success and sustainability, and improving quality of project achievements. Through community involvement, obstacles to access assistance (particularly for women) due to stigma can be overcome and access to safe drinking water and awareness improved. 2. Establish water management committee to take care managing of the water points on day to day basis. 3. 21 new bore holes will be drilled, equipped with hand pumps and fenced for the benefit of 5,200 persons in those areas where people have limited or no access to safe drinking water and use water from river and spring. 1. 25 Hygiene education/ mobilization will be conducted for the benefit of 3000 individuals in schools and community (50% women participation is targeted) 1. Awareness raising through local media (TV, Radio and news papers) 2. IEC/BCC materials will be developed, including posters and leaflet on hygiene awareness, for different target groups 3. Coordination with district and provincial officials, community/religious leaders, members of community development Shura at all stages of the project activities. Outcomes

• Women and girls are empowered to advocate for their rights • The clearest impacts will be improved livelihoods and education attendance • Women and children received more benefits • There will be positive and significant environmental impacts • The project will increase their ability to sustain both supply systems and hygiene behavior changes.

According to UNEP, whereas Afghanistan as a whole uses less than one-third of its potential 75,000 million cubic meters of water resources, regional differences in supply, inefficient use and wastage mean that a major part of the country experiences scarcity. Water mismanagement was a widespread problem in the country and as a result of prolonged conflict most water channels and other systems have suffered greatly. Following two decades of war, Afghanistan faces many environmental problems, mainly in terms of the degradation of water tables and wetlands, and deforestation. According to the Ministry of Irrigation, Water Resources and Environment, some 40 percent of forests have been cut down, while desertification and pollution of underground water represented other serious challenges.

Sanitary conditions in the country as a whole are very poor. The situation is worse in return areas both in rural and remote areas – where the basic sanitation facilities are scarce or non -existent - as well as in over-crowded urban areas. It is estimated that some 68% of the returnee population is in need of latrines while constructing shelter units.

IDPs face the same problems in relation to water access as the rest of the population. IDP returnees to both rural and remote and overcrowded urban areas do not have access to sufficient safe drinking water. In rural areas, a large majority of the population drink water from unclean sources such as unprotected springs, uncovered shallow wells, canals, rivers and streams. For many returning IDPs, the situation is aggravated by the destruction of main drinking water sources as a result of the conflict.

In terms of access to water sources, it is mainly the females and children that suffer more from poor sources,

Page 417 of 432. far distances and low number of water points. By increasing number of water sources these two groups will be the main target and beneficiaries.

Each person is unique. The differences between people, whether actual or perceived, can be defining characteristics that play a central role in determining an individual's opportunities, capacities, needs and vulnerability. Activities

Improve overall water and sanitation conditions among IDPs by increasing their access to water and providing hygiene promotion.

Improve sustainability of returns through implementation of small-scale community-based water projects.

Improve access to potable water whenever required, and provide /disseminate key hygiene messages among IDPs, promoting better sanitation and health practices.

AGDM principles will be at the base of planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating of projects in Afghanistan, thus seeking to ensure that all persons of concern enjoy their rights on an equal footing and are able to participate fully in the decisions that affect their lives and the lives of their family members and communities. Outcomes

Over 150 water points are constructed/reconstructed providing potable water to some 22,500 IDPs and returning IDPs; for the IDP settlements in the Southern and South-Western Regions the distribution of water through water tankers will be maintained, thus improving access to water for women and children;

Key basic hygiene messages disseminated among the IDPs and returning IDPS, thus improving their individual and environmental hygiene.

Projects implemented will be evaluated keeping in mind equality and full participation as guiding principles.

625 families in Shirin Tagab and Khuja Sabz Posh districts of Faryab province, which is prone to drought, severely lack potable water mainly during the summer and autumn seasons. However, unclean river stream water is available for 50% of the mentioned families during the winter and spring seasons. Most of the villages which the above population are living are very far from district centre and lack basic social services. The unemployment rate is very high and locals face different types of diseases due to using unclean water.

Each summer time, there are community clashes over water resources and dispute rise over share of river stream water which is very limited and not enough for all the villages. Drilling the proposed water wells will also reinforce co-existing and maintaining peace among the communities. Activities

A total number of 25 wells will be drilled in the above areas. The depth of each well differs from village to village depending on availability of underground water source (the rages of depths from 50 meters to 80 meters. The construction works of the project will involve skilled and unskilled labours, masonry, concrete and some drilling machine using 6 inch PVC pipes, water pumps and other necessary items. A community water committee will be established and trained for future maintenance. Enough necessary equipment will be provided to the committee.

In addition, a proper hygiene training will be provided to Shura members including heads of households in each project site. The training will cover both the female and male members of the community. The hygiene training will also cover school children both girl and boys schools. Outcomes

• 625 families are provided with safe drinking water (in particular during the summer time) • All the families will be protected against diseases which can be caused as result drinking unsafe water. • The community will have a well functioning water committee to take care of the sanitary and maintenance parts of the projects. • All groups of the community including women, boys, girls and men will benefit from the project. Moreover, the project will prevent future displacements due to lack of water.

Enhanced Northern - Balkh Geographical Fields Needs

Kishinde and Zare districts in southern Balkh face a severe lack of access to water that has been critically worsened during the drought in 2011. Apart from communities in Aqupruk that have access to the Balkhab river, and communities in Kishinde valley that have access to the seasonal Dara -i-Suf river, the majority of the population has access only to springs or seasonal melt- and rain -water that is stored in reservoirs, open water holes or traditional kandas.

Currently in targeted areas there is high prevalence of diarrhoea, dysentery, amoeba, and cases of cholera . Based on district clinic records, up to 60% of population are estimated to become sick due to water-borne diseases during every year in Kishinde district. The drought in 2011 has critically eroded the capacity of the population to deal with further shocks. As the households strive to regain their livelihoods, it is necessary to deal with the acute water, sanitation and hygiene needs that exist, as well as to strengthen access to safe water supplies according to the SPHERE guidelines.

Although in Balkh province as a whole, 39,5% of the population is estimated to have access to safe drinking water, a rapid assessment undertaken by PiN in June 2011 shows that in the targeted district less than 10% of the population have access to a stable source of safe drinking water all year round. This is caused by a lack of safe water sources, as well as a lack of safe water storage. As over 90% of the communities are in exclusively rain-fed land, the majority of the communities rely solely on melted snow and rain water from the winter and spring to survive the summer dry period or the seasonal nature of the Dara -i-Suf river. Once these source run dry, the households are forced to travel long distances to access any sort of water, while finishing dwindling supplies of bad quality water. During the rapid assessment, it was found that a significant number of households must travel over 4 hours each way to access water for a period of at least 3 months every year. Rapid expansion of population, increased water consumption, and increase upstream pollution of water sources have rendered many communities dependent of low quality water and resulting in large spikes of waterborne diseases. At the same time, the lack of access to water has a drastic impact of livelihoods, as families are forced to spend their income purchasing water, and not being able to maintain their livestock which would otherwise provide a source of income. During 2011, it is estimated that over half of the livestock in the remote, rain-fed areas of Kishinde and Zare was sold or died. It is therefore important to quickly ensure the construction, rehabilitation and protection of available water sources in the target district in order to support the drought recovery in this area.

The health & safety risks and hazards associated with drinking unsafe water in the targeted villages are further exacerbated due to limited knowledge and application of hygiene practices, particularly among women who are

Page 421 of 432. responsible for cooking and collecting drinking water and thus are key in preventing the spread of water borne diseases at the household level. Households also have no knowledge or capacity to filter the water that they can access, and therefore are resigned to a high impact of waterborne diseases.

Furthermore there is a lack of information about the coping mechanisms employed in areas that are often drought or natural disaster affected, as well as the differentiated impact this has on different parts of society, including the differentiated impact on women, girls, boys and men. PiN therefore will undertake a detailed study of existing coping strategies across several provinces in northern Afghanistan and produce a detailed study . The study, and the data collected will be made available through the WASH cluster to the humanitarian community, as well s the other relevant stakeholders such as MRRD. Activities

Objective 1:

1.1 Rapid assessment of most drought affect communities’ WASH needs at the end of the winter season in all clusters of Kishinde and Zare districts (Clusters: Chakana Bala & Payeen, Kishinde Bala & Payeen, Tunj, Aqupruk, Zare centre, Abdul Ghan, Margzhar, Amrakh, Boyo). Final report will be made available to all stakeholders.

1.2 Water quality tests to ensure the quality of existing water sources is according to MRRD standards and the WASH policy (all existing water sources in district) using qualified engineers.

1.3 Construction, rehabilitation, cleaning and protection of critical water infrastructure (reservoirs, kandas, pipe-schemes and wells) in order to secure access to clean water according to SPHERE standards. This will be achieved through construction, rehabilitation of filtration systems, plastering and covering of critical water infrastructure. This activity is combined with training in Operation & Maintenance for caretakers and mechanics at the community level. (8 reservoirs constructed, 10 reservoirs rehabilitated, 30 kandas rehabilitated, 10 wells constructed, 6 pipe schemes constructed, 5 RAM-pump pipe schemes)

1.4 Establishment and training of social water management committees at community level (target: 69 most affected communities) mainstreaming community based disaster rismanagement into the water management.

Objective 2:

2.1 Construction and distribution of BioSand filters to 2,000 most vulnerable households (12,000 direct beneficiaries) that are most affected by poor water quality, and distribution as demonstration to village schools and mosques. Beneficiaries will receive training in the operation and maintenance of BioSand filters, and key focal persons identified and provided with extra trainings to ensure lasting capacity in the villages.

2.2 Hygiene promotion through community trainings for women, girls, boys and men. The PiN methodology of the trainings is based on ALS (Autodidactic Learning for Sustainability), an approach for facilitating group learning processes in the local context.

2.3 Distribution of standardised hygiene kits to acutely vulnerable households (2,000 most affect households) in line with WASH cluster guidance.

Continuous monitoring of the project implementation and impact will be undertaken throughout the timeframe of the project in accordance with the WASH cluster indicators. At the same time PiN will implement the Vulnerability Follow-Up (VFU) Assessment in order to establish a baseline and track the impact and trends of the drought recovery on health, water access, food security and nutrition. Outcomes

Objective 1:

1. Improved access to drinking water according to SPHERE standards for target communities (number: 69 communities have improved infrastructure) in Kishinde and Zare districts of Balkh Province.

Page 422 of 432. 2. Improved access to safe drinking water for female-, child-, and disabled headed households. (from 69 communities)

3. The specific needs of women, girls, boys, and men and their coping strategies are better understood and taken into account in the interventions adopted.

4. Dangerous and destructive coping mechanisms such as sale of productive assets and very long travel times will be decreased as communities (target: infrastructure for 69 communities, see activities section for more detail) need to purchase water is decreased, benefiting in particular female -, child-, and disabled headed households.

Objective 2:

5. 2,000 households (12,000 direct beneficiaries) have increased access to safe drinking water at household level and knowledge to operate and maintain BioSand filters

6. 2,000 households (12,000 direct beneficiaries) have improved capacity and knowledge of sanitation and hygiene practices thereby reducing the prevalence of water borne diseases

PiN will implement both the VFU Assessment to track the impact of the drought, as well as an monitoring system to monitor and evaluate the impact of the programme on the agreed WASH cluster indicators. This monitoring system is based on PiNs 10 years of experience, utilizing a baseline survey & database, sentinel households, regular & random household checks, water quality monitroing, and a final endline survey with detailed questionnaires and a corresponding database. This is backed by a high level of direct field presence including by expatriate staff.

Enhanced Western - Ghor Geographical Fields Needs

A rapid assessment conducted by Afghanaid in Ghor in November 2010 found that approx 80% of the villages surveyed didn’t have a single latrine & only 17% of the population had access to safe water. In Dawltyar and Lal specifically, only 15% and 14% respectively have access to safe potable water. This is further exacerbated due to limited knowledge and application of hygiene practices, particularly among women who are responsible for cooking and collecting drinking water and thus are key in preventing the spread of water borne diseases. As a result of the chronic WASH needs populations that are impacted by a shock such do not have the necessary capacity and coping mechanisms to deal with the adverse impacts. This has been well demonstrated by the recent drought. The drought had caused primary sources of drinking water to dry up, or become contaminated. Families were forced to travel long distances in order to find alternative water sources, many of which were unprotected and still provided unsafe water. In some of the villages, water sources do not exist and people, especially women and children, have to travel long distances - as far as 10km in the case of those from Shinia in Dawltayar district. If their alternative source of water is affected by the floods, then the next alternative source is often too far and they go without access to safe water. Afghanaid have noted in previous WASH projects that we have implemented in Ghor province that the journeys to alternative water sources are often treacherous (which is compounded by the fact that they are often carrying large amounts of water in inappropriate vessels). Deaths and injuries have been recorded on rare occasions – particularly during the rainy season or during winter. The floods and the damage that they cause, result in an increase in the frequency of such journeys. Following the lack of access to safe water in Ghor as a result of the lack of precipitation experienced in early 2011, CHA clinic data from July 2011 indicate a 12% increase in the number of cases of acute watery diarrhoea in Ghor as compared to 2010 and a 13% increase in acute bloody diarrhoea. Children are usually the worst affected by the increase in water borne diseases, further burdening women in the household. The recurring floods that are experienced across Ghor have a more destructive effect on water access in affected villages. The floods occur most often in Spring. The floods contaminate water sources such as unprotected wells and reservoirs – according to a rapid assessment conducted in June 2011 97.5% of the population in Dawlatyar district use unprotected water sources and 100% in Lal wa Sarjangal. In addition, the floods destroy water infrastructure such as piping systems and also water reservoirs which are crucial to remote villages in difficult locations who have to pipe water to the village. The communities that are affected by the floods need instant access to safe drinking water following the flood . Similarly, immediately following the flood families need access to emergency latrines as they will be temporarily

Page 426 of 432. displaced and they will usually gather in the same place – without providing latrines open defecation in the area will increase the spread of disease and oral to faecal contamination. Furthermore, it is dangerous to let families and communities travel the long and treacherous journeys to find alternative water sources – many of which would have been affected by the same floods and will be contaminated as well. In addition, short term emergency repairs will have to be carried out and contaminated water will have to be treated and replaced in order to restore water access beyond the immediate (1-2 week) interventions. Activities

Objective 1:

Activities: - Hire water tanker from Cheghcharan and provide safe drinking water for the first two weeks following the floods, if it is possible to access the affected villages with a tanker. - Replace and treat the water that is stored in contaminated reservoirs. This would also include the chlorination of stored water, until it passes the water quality tests that we would conduct. - Establishment of a WASH emergency WASH committee which is comprised of 50% females and 50% children to inform distribution and interventions. - Provision of jerry cans and water coolers so that those affected communities who have reasonable access to water sources in accordance with sphere standards (in terms of distance and cleanliness) are able to collect large amounts and store it in order to reduce the number of journeys, particularly for young children and the elderly. These will be provided to those women are responsible for collecting water. - In those communities where the population has been displaced emergency latrines will be constructed to provide a safe and hygienic space and avoid the spread of disease. Separate latrines will be constructed for males and females and women will be consulted regarding the location of the latrines. - Very basic hygiene awareness in order to reduce the spread of water borne diseases as much as is possible following the flood. Particularly, among women and children whose awareness and knowledge is crucial in reducing the effects of the flood on the health of the affected population. The hygiene promotion team will be consist of 2 men, 2 women, 2 boys and 2 girls as this makes the team more effective at delivering messages to all members of the household. - Hygiene kits will be distributed to households, through women, who have responsibility for cooking, water collection and hygiene and thus it is most critical that they have access to the provisions that are provided within the kits.

Objective 2:

Activities: - Repair crucial water infrastructure, particularly water reservoirs and taps (this will be particularly important in remote and isolated villages where they are particularly reliant on pipe systems and taps). - Water Quality tests will be conducted to ensure that the water that is being provided is safe.

We will monitor the impact of the project in accordance with the indicators that are set by the WASH cluster in order to monitor the progress and impact of the project, as well as contribute to the humanitarian data available for humanitarian coordination. Outcomes

Outcomes (The numbers are projections based on the previous impact of floods on the two districts.)

Objective 1: Outcomes: - 15’886 individuals that are impacted by the flood will have immediate access to safe drinking water where no safe alternative is available in the aftermath of the flood, thus they will not be forced into using contaminated sources. - Where possible, people (particularly women, children and the elderly) will not have to take long and dangerous journeys in order to reach water sources, many of which often only provide unsafe drinking water. - Males and females that have been displaced as a result of the flood will have access to sanitation facilities as a result of the 28 hygienic latrines that will be constructed. - As a result of the provisions within the 8614 hygiene kits that will be distributed to women and children and combined with the hygiene awareness that will be provided, families will adopt the additional necessary measures to reduce the spread of water borne diseases in the aftermath of the emergency situation.

Page 427 of 432. - The combination of the above factors will result in a control of water borne diseases and avoid the traditional increase in water borne diseases. - For those affected villages where there are alternative water sources within a safe and reasonable distance, populations will be able to collect more water, store it and treat it. Thereby reducing the number of journeys and improving the quality of the water collected.

Objective 2: Outcomes: - Crucial infrastructure that can be repaired in short period to provide safe water to villages again will be repaired and will avoid the need for dangerous coping mechanisms such as forcing vulnerable members of the households to travel to collect more water. The infrastructure will include: a)Rehabilitation and construction of reservoirs in 21 villages b)Repairs and installation of 200 taps in 21 villages c)Construction of 26 semi-deep wells to replace those that have been flooded and permanently contaminated. - The water that will be provided will be good quality and safe.

Enhanced Central Highland Geographical Fields North Eastern - Badakhshan Northern - Jawzjan Needs

The emergency food security assessment (EFSA) 1st phase (August 2011) indicated an almost 60% decline of ground water in 14 food deficit provinces (Herat, Badghis, Faryab, Jawzjan, Saripul, Balkh, Samangan, Baghlan, Kunduz, Takhar, Badakshan, Bamyan, Daikundi and Ghor.) . Assessments conducted in various drought affected provinces indicated that about 50% of the water sources are damaged and about 30% dried up. This has resulted in use of unsafe water sources and travel to long distance by women and children to fetch water. Afghanistan also faces wide spread small scale flash floods and cause severe damages to water sources and contaminate water sources. In Afghanistan children die before the age of five mainly due to infections through water borne diseases and respiratory tract infections. This level of morbidity is unacceptably high and largely preventable through low cost interventions. Lack of hygiene awareness for women who feeds infants is also one of the factor for higher diseases. The most deadly health risks in the country are insufficient or unsafe water, inadequate sanitation and poor hygiene causing disease outbreaks. Inadequate sanitation, poor hygiene and poor quality of drinking water result not only in increased levels of malnutrition, sickness and death, but also in higher health costs, lower worker productivity and lower school enrolment (NRVA 2008). Overall, access to safe drinking water in Afghanistan is calculated at 27 percent of the population (NRAV 2008). Women especially pregnant and lactating women, children, disable and age old people are the most vulnerable to lack of safe drinking water, sanitation and poor hygiene. Access to women during assessments and identify their needs is a challenge due to local cultural and religious practices and lack of trained humanitarian women staff. Similarly women ’s participation and being benefited as beneficiaries during implementation is also significantly varies across the communities and provinces based on the ethnic composition of the communities. It is always a challenges to assess the relevance and how responses has benefited and specifically address women’s specially identified needs are addressed during M and E process. In Jawzjan approximately 268,000 individuals (57% of Jawzjan population) critically face lack of access to safe drinking water according to the National Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA) 2008. Lack of access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation practices are the main causes of water born diseases and cholera amongst the most vulnerable communities especially in rural areas of Jawzjan province. Badakhshan, Daikundi and Bamyan provinces are one of the most isolated provinces of Afghanistan with populations scattered across the provinces and with a low population density. The provinces are affected by flash floods that affect community water sources. The people in this province do not have access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation and healthcare facilities due to the geographical isolation of this province as well as decades of war and unrest. Cholera (AWD) and diarrhoea are common diseases affecting people.

Page 429 of 432. The main sources of drinking water are springs, wells and rivers. The water sources are normally far from the houses and the women and children have to bring water from long distances. Most of the households don ’t have access to safe sanitation facilities. Activities

• Identify in consultation with village men, women, local communities committee ’s (village Shura or CDC) the water sources that require rehabilitation and can improve access to safe drinking water and priorities and selection of water sources. • Rehabilitate or construct about 200 water sources of spring protection / shallow wells with hand pump / water protection of surface water sources in about 150 drought and flood affected communities. • Training for selected community members on operation and maintenance of the rehabilitated water sources like shallow wells, hand pumps and gravity water supplies and strengthen local capacities with provision of tools. • Identify and train at least one man and one woman hygiene promoters at each target village level as volunteers and spread awareness on hygiene promotion and implementation of wash activities. • Provide chemicals / water filters for treating contaminated water due to flooding or poor surface water quality. HH level water treatment and continuous monitoring of water quality in all target response villages. • Establish and train 200 WASH committees with responsibility for providing assistance and support for program implementer. Seek to ensure that 50% of committee members are women, who hold leadership roles and are involved in decision-making and reaching out to women in communities. • Distribution of hygiene kits / water containers for transportation and storage of water at HH level to very poor and female lead HH based on the needs identified. • Support construction of temporary latrines where affected populations have moved in camps for shorter duration as per SPHERE standards and promote hygiene education to stop open defecation and environmental sanitation. • Support schools (Girls & boys) in target communities / districts with construction/rehabilitation of latrines and hand washing facilities. • Organize and conduct awareness session for communities (male, female and children) on consequences of open defecation and poor sanitation practices. • Formation of mother's group (1 per community) and promote hygiene awareness on ORS, feeding preparation practices and feeding to infants. • Carry out baseline studies of households and schools in the target districts to understand the water, sanitation and hygiene practices in targeted districts. The baseline will include detailed data on diarrhea and safe hand washing practices. • Initiation of the school-based hygiene promotion program in consultation with education department focusing on hand washing and safe excreta disposal for both girls and boys students • Selection of 10 local masons for training and equipment (moulds) to produce and market Bio Sand Filter (BSF) units for household water filtration.

Objective 2: To learn and advocate for long-term measures for water conservation and management and sanitation and hyegiene education. * study the current drinking water sources from long-term sustainability point of view and make recommendations for long-term mesures to improve sustainability. * learn from the sanitation and hyegiene practices and make recomemndation for linkages with CLTS and Hyegiene education for long-term impacts. Outcomes

• There is trained humanitarian women staff in local NGOs for quality assessments to improve women ’s participation during assessments and response design. There is at least one women social organizer for 10 communities as part of the response team to ensure proper reach out to women. At least one woman at community level is trained in hygiene promotion and becomes community level assets for future. The women leaders as part of the response committees improves women role in various stages of response and increase women’s role in decision making. Targeted households women have more time and ability to raise their voice to take part in decision making process. • The water sources in about 150 drought and flood affected communities are rehabilitated and population in these communities have access to safe drinking water. • Contamination risk of potable water during transportation and at point of storage is reduced through awareness raising and provision of water containers and protection of water sources. • Men, women and children have realised the importance of improved personal hygiene practices and start practicing.

Page 430 of 432. • School children both boy and girls awareness on personal hygiene increased and used as the catalysts for change in the household. • Outbreak of water born diseases are reduced or contained by timely response for water treatment and ORS and hygiene promotion. * lesson learnt on water sources management are documented and shared with long -term programme development actors for sustainability. * lessons on sanitation and hyegiene practices are documented and shared with MRRD and MOPH and WASH cluster members.
