Along with $31 million carried over from 2016 and $0.8 million in refunds, the Fund played an instrumental role for disbursing funds in a timely and flexible manner to the most immediate needs while reinforcing and encouraging coordinated humanitarian action. The CHF allocated $44.9 million to 51 pro- jects to address the critical needs of the displaced and vulnerable populations affected by the geographic spread of conflict, in particular in the hard to reach and underserved com- munities. The Fund strategically complemented the humanitarian community’s efforts to support vulnerable populations in Afghanistan, including refugees, IDPs, returnees and host communities, with women and children being the primary beneficiaries (69 per cent). As in previously years, the CHF allocations complemented other sources of funding, in particular $9.9 million received from the Under-funded Emergencies Allocation of the Cen- tral Emergency Response Fund (CERF) for the humanitarian response in Afghanistan.

  • Helmand (2): the Chain of Chiefdoms Unravels
    Helmand (2): The chain of chiefdoms unravels Author : Lenny Linke Published: 11 March 2016 Downloaded: 4 September 2018 Download URL: https://afghanistan-analysts.org/helmand-2-the-chain-of-chiefdoms-unravels/?format=pdf In Helmand in the second half of 2015, the ‘dominos’ started to fall, with successive areas of the province coming under Taleban control. During the United States surge, a line of ‘chiefdoms’ was created, where Afghan National Police (ANP), Afghan Local Police (ALP) and militia commanders managed to consolidate control of local areas. In 2015, these came under pressure and were overrun by the Taleban one by one. Ghost soldiers in the Afghan National Army (ANA) and some disastrous redeployments of key ANP and ALP commanders have weakened government defences while, at the same time, the Taleban have introduced a new military formation, well-equipped and mobile commando-like ‘qet’a’ units. AAN guest author, Rahmatullah Amiri* examines why so much of Helmand has fallen to the Taleban in the last year. AAN’s first dispatch on Helmand looked at the background to the current crisis, focussing on provincial power dynamics on the government side, the rise of the ALP and militias in key districts and the British deployment, US surge (when 11,000 US troops were sent to Helmand to crush the insurgency – half of all the extra troops) and withdrawal. 1 / 19 The Taleban counter-attack The Taleban’s post-surge return started in Helmand’s northern areas: in Kajaki, the Qala-ye Gaz area of Gereshk (where the Taleban had had a stronghold for years due to support from the local Ishaqzai tribe), the Malmand area of Sangin (which the Taleban never lost control of, even during the surge), and some areas of northern Musa Qala.
