  • SLEAC Report)
    Coverage Assessment (SLEAC Report) Jawzjan Province, Afghanistan November 2015 AFGHANISTAN Author: Nikki Williamson (SLEAC Project Manager) Action Contre la Faim ACF is a non-governmental, non-political and non-religious organization Executive Summary The following report presents key findings from one of a series of five provincial coverage assessments in Afghanistan, undertaken as part of a UNICEF funded ACF coverage project1. The project assessed the coverage of the treatment of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) services across five provinces: Laghman, Badakhshan, Jawzjan, Bamyan and Badghis. In each province the standard SLEAC (Simplified LQAS2 Evaluation of Access and Coverage) methodology was used in order to achieve coverage classifications at district level and coverage estimations at provincial level. The opportunity was also taken to collect qualitative information on the factors inhibiting access to SAM treatment services as well as those acting in favour of access. SLEAC uses a two-stage sampling methodology (sampling of villages and then of SAM children) to classify the level of needs met in a province, i.e. to what extent severely acutely malnourished (SAM) children are reaching treatment services. By also administering questionnaires to each SAM case found, whether covered (undergoing treatment) or uncovered (not being treated), a SLEAC assessment also provides information regarding factors influencing access and coverage. It was expected that, due to patterns of insecurity and varying administrative division of provinces across Afghanistan, sampling of villages and SAM cases by district would present both practical and methodological challenges to the implementation of these SLEAC assessments. Therefore, selected provinces were divided into zones for classification rather than each district being classified, as is typically the case for SLEAC assessments.

To my surprise, and despite the international attention given to this country in the last three decades, I have noted the absence of significant genetic studies intended to depict its complex population history. Available articles mainly concern those ethnic groups located across the borders, meaning that any conclusion about Afghanistan is an indirect inference, as only few Afghans living in Afghanistan or recently emigrated from Afghanistan, have been sampled (Agarwal et al. 1976; Rahimi et al. 1977; Goedde et al. 1977a and 1977b; Hirth et al. 1979 and 1982; Benkmann et al. 1980; Berti et al. 2005; Hohoff et al. 2006; Lacau et al. 2011). Afghanistan is at the crossroad of many civilizations, where Central Asian and Indo-European populations (coming from the Iranian plateau and the Indian sub-continent) have met and sometimes admixed (Bruk 1955; Orywal 1983 and 1986; Barfield 2011).

    Antonio Giustozzi and Christoph Reuter The Insurgents of the Afghan North The rise of the Taleban, the self-abandonment of the Afghan government and the effects of ISAF’s ‘capture-and-kill campaign’ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Until recently, the belief was widespread that Taleban attempts to build up local structures the Greater North was immune from Taleban was in fact a patient effort of systematic infiltration, due mainly to two reasons: infiltration, reflecting a strategy to extend their control beyond their traditional a) The Taleban were perceived as a purely strongholds in the south.

This utilised elsewhere in Afghanistan: They would limit their potential for recruitment initially allocated material resources and to predominantly Pashtun areas, of which manpower to the Greater North, sent political few exist in the Greater North of agents to recruit sympathetic mullahs and Afghanistan; appeal to disgruntled Pashtuns, and installed b) In practice, the level of Taleban infiltration sympathetic mullahs in local madrassas and from southern Afghanistan and activity of mosques – with visible results from 2008 other insurgent groups remained very low onwards.

  • Women's Access to Justice in Afghanistan
    [ PEACEW RKS [ WOMEN’S ACCESS TO JUSTICE IN AFGHANISTAN INDIVIDUAL VERSUS COMMUNITY BARRIERS TO JUSTICE Tim Luccaro and Erica Gaston ABOUT THE REPORT This report maps how Afghan women seek justice when their rights are violated and the barriers women face in pursuing justice or receiving a fair outcome, whether in the formal system, in community-based mechanisms, or at home. Part of ongoing research and programming by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) on how community- based approaches can improve women’s access to justice, this report is based on a time-limited ethnographic study of women’s disputes in five provinces of Afghanistan between March 2011 and January 2012. This study was conducted in cooperation with the Women Activities and Social Services Association, the Organization for Human Welfare, and the Afghanistan Human Rights and Democracy Orga- nization. It was funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development’s Office for Democracy and Governance and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement. ABOUT THE AUTHORS Tim Luccaro, USIP’s senior program officer in Afghanistan for three years, has worked on issues related to tradi- tional dispute resolution, women’s access to justice, and nonviolent conflict resolution in Afghanistan since 2010. Previously, on behalf of USIP, he focused on traditional dispute resolution for USIP in Liberia and South Sudan. Erica Gaston is a human rights lawyer with seven years of experience in programming and research in Afghanistan on human rights and justice promotion. Her recent academic and policy publications include three books on the legal, ethical, and practical dilemmas emerging in modern conflict and crisis zones; studies mapping justice systems and outcomes in Afghanistan and Yemen; and thematic research and opinion pieces on rule of law issues in transitioning countries.

  • Afghanistan BALKH PROVINCE a Socio-Economic Profile UNIDATA A
    Afghanistan BALKH PROVINCE A Socio-Economic Profile UNIDATA A Project of UNDP/OPS & UNOCA March 1992 PREFACE 'Balkh - A Socio-Economic Profile' provides an inventory of the current state of economic and social conditions and physical infrastructure at the provincial and district levels. The information is derived from surveys conducted by UNIDATA between June­ October, 1990. Information from other sources has also been incorporated to complement and check consistency of data sets. The report has been structured to provide sectoral analysis at the provincial and district level. The analysis at the district level also offers an assessment of the impect of the war on the local economy, highlighting inter-district variations. This should enable planners to determine sectoral resettlement and rehabilitation requirements at the district level. The methodology of the data collection, as described in Page 1, was conditioned by the feasibility of implementing field surveys under the prevailing uncertain situations on the ground. Nonetheless, consistency of the information gathered has been checked against information available from secondary sources. The quality of the data may be further improved by accessing undated information as it becomes available from agencies involved in field work in Balkh province. Comments on the report are welcomed and should be addressed to the Project Manager, UNIDATA, Kabul or to the Officer-in-Charge of any one of the UNIDATA project offices listed at the end of the report. 15 March 1992 David E.

  • SAYAD and QUSH TEPA DISTRICTS - RAPID ASSESSMENT Mvam AFGHANISTAN - EMERGENCY MARKET ASSESSMENT BULLETIN # 7 September 2017
    SAYAD AND QUSH TEPA DISTRICTS - RAPID ASSESSMENT mVAM AFGHANISTAN - EMERGENCY MARKET ASSESSMENT BULLETIN # 7 September 2017 KEY FINDINGS Access in Sayad district of Saripul province and Qush Tepa district of Jawzjan province have been severely constrained for the past few weeks due to insecurity and conflict. As a result, a limited number of households have been displaced from the insecure communities to the district centres of Sayed and Qush Tepa. The food prices have also increased as a result of the conflict which has limited the supply to the markets due to lack of access to the markets by the traders. The majority of people in the assessed districts are unable to go to work or to access the markets, or to find new income opportunities. Supply of food commodities to Sayad is mainly from Mazar and Saripul centres while for Qush Tepa, is mainly from Mazar and Jawzjan centres.
