Afghanistan Humanitarian Allocation Strategy Paper Fund Timeframe: 08 - 18 April 2020 AHF nd 2 Reserve Allocation 2020 Afghanistan Humanitarian Allocation Strategy Paper Fund TiMefraMe: 08 - 18 April 2020 AHF THE AFGHANISTAN HUMANITARIAN FUND 1. The Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund is a Country-Based Pooled Fund1 (CBPF) managed by a Humanitarian Financing Unit (HFU) of the United Nations (UN) Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs2 (OCHA) based in Kabul. Established in 2014, and under the leadership of the United Nations Assistant-Secretary General and Humanitarian Coordinator for Afghanistan, its role is to support an effective, coordinated, prioritized and principled humanitarian response in Afghanistan. 2. With this reserve allocation, the AHF provides a maximum total amount of US$10,000,000.00 to provide life- saving humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan, through the reserve allocation, subject to technical/financial review of all proposals by the AHF and the respective clusters in order to ensure quality and compliance, prior to final endorsement of grant agreements by the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Afghanistan and the Executive Officer of UN OCHA. HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE PLANS 2018 - 2021 Afghanistan HRP 1. The 2020 update to the 2018 - 2021 HRP seeks US$733 million to reach 7.1 million people with emergency life-saving humanitarian and protection assistance across the country in 2020. The HRP’s strategic objectives, which are intended to span the entire life-cycle of the response, focus on the following: • Strategic Objective 1: Lives are saved in the areas of highest needs. • Strategic Objective 2: Protection violations are reduced and respect for International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is increased. • Strategic Objective 3: Vulnerable people are supported to build their resilience. COVID-19 Response Plan 2. The Afghanistan COVID-19 Multi-Sector Humanitarian Plan seeks US$108 million to mobilize activities contributing to the containment of the COVID-19 outbreak in affected and at-risk provinces, as well as to reduce humanitarian consequences of the outbreak and interruption of existing humanitarian assistance. The multi-sector plan includes emergency elements of the WHO Phase 2 plan with regard to health, but also includes activities by all other clusters in support the overall response, incl. existing activities within the HRP that can be scaled-up or extended to new areas, It is important to note that this plan is only for the initial three months of the response and is intended as a living document that will inevitably need to be revised or extended as the situation evolves. HUMANITARIAN CONTEXT OF THIS ALLOCATION3 3. Due to the scale and spread of transmission, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak was declared a global pandemic on 11 March 2020. 4. Afghanistan is likely to be significantly affected due to its weak health system and limited capacity to deal with major disease outbreaks. Afghanistan’s close geographical proximity to other affected countries puts it at heightened risk, with tens of thousands of people and commercial movements across the border e.g. from Iran each day. High internal displacement, low coverage of vaccination and ability to fight viral and bacterial infections), in combination with weak health, water and sanitation infrastructure worsen the situation. 5. As of 06 April, there are 367 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Afghanistan across 17 provinces4. To date, testing capacity is low which might account for the relatively low number of confirmed cases given the high number 1 https://www.unocha.org/our-work/humanitarian-financing/country-based-pooled-funds-cbpfs 2 http://www.unocha.org 3 HCT key messages 4 OCHA Afghanistan | COVID-19 | Daily Brief No. 23 | 31 Mar 2020 www.unocha.org The mission of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is to mobilize and coordinate effective and principled humanitarian action in partnership with national and international actors. Coordination Saves Lives Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund | 2nd Reserve Allocation Paper 2020 | Page 2 of 8 of people crossing borders e.g. to Iran. Reduced community testing and slow turn-around of test results remains a major concern. Health Context: 6. Afghanistan’s health system is thinly spread across the country, due to ongoing conflict and insecurity, as well as infrastructure challenges. Around 30 per cent of the population has limited access to basic health services within a 2-hour travel radius. The health system is further overburdened by mass casualty incidents and recurrent outbreaks of communicable diseases especially among IDPs. 7. Based on the rapidly spreading nature of the virus and state of the health system, there is an urgent need for enhanced multi-sectoral preparedness, operational readiness and response capacities to prevent, detect early and rapidly respond to COVID-19 as required under International Health Regulations (IHR 2005). 8. Key Issues and Priorities to be addressed in this Allocation: a. Active Community Screening in IDP sites. b. Risk communication and awareness raising in IDP sites. c. Support existing health service delivery point including isolation wards/hospitals within the IDP sites. WASH Context: 9. For 2020, the overall number of people with urgent water, sanitation and hygiene needs stands at 4.9 million. This includes all population groups – internally displaced people, shock-affected, non-displaced (conflict and natural disaster), returnees and acutely vulnerable people (those reeling from past shocks). Based on trends, the WASH Cluster estimates that out of 500,000 IDPs, around 90 per cent require lifesaving WASH assistance in 2020, predominantly in 21 provinces where the concentration of IDPs is high. According to the 2019 Whole of Afghanistan assessment, only 60 per cent of people affected by conflict and disasters have access to vital items such as soap. Unavailability of basic WASH services is more pronounced in districts that are conserved hard-to-reach 10. The key WASH responses to the COVID-19 outbreak to be addressed in this Allocation are: a. Pre-positioning of key supplies (soaps, buckets with taps, chlorine drums, sprayers, household water treatments, and latrine slabs etc.). b. Provision of hand washing facilities with functional water systems. The initial focus is on concentrated IDP sites, nutritional centers (inpatient and outpatient), border entry points, health and isolation centers upon needs, as well as schools and temporary learning spaces depending on their reopening. c. Scaling-up messaging of handwashing at community level. d. Spraying of chlorine on common equipment and solid waste management in the most at-risk public places and institutions, as well as safe drinking water supply and sanitation in isolation wards affected hotspots. Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) Context: 11. Sustained ability of humanitarian staff to travel to and supply affected areas within Afghanistan is of critical importance. 12. As commercial international flights to Afghanistan have been suspended, UNHAS has been requested to establish a humanitarian air bridge to a suitable location such as UAE or Qatar. 13. This allocation supports UNHAS in maintaining its essential air services, ability to respond to relocation requests for aid workers, and provides reliable air service in support of the COVID-19 response through: a. Domestic flights: Maintain essential humanitarian air services and readiness for security and medical relocation for the next three months. b. International air bridge: Establish essential humanitarian air services and readiness for the next three months services with a 50 seat jet aircraft.

  • (2): Delivering Public Services in Insurgency-Affected Obeh District of Herat Province
    One Land, Two Rules (2): Delivering public services in insurgency-affected Obeh district of Herat province Author : S Reza Kazemi Published: 9 December 2018 Downloaded: 8 December 2018 Download URL: https://www.afghanistan-analysts.org/wp-admin/post.php The matter of who governs the district of Obeh in the east of Herat province is complicated: control of the district is divided between the Afghan government and the Taleban, and shifts in unpredictable ways. The inhabitants of the district, usually via the mediation of elders, have had to learn how to deal with both sides. The dual nature of authority in Obeh is exemplified by public service delivery; it is always financed through and administered by the Afghan state but, in areas under Taleban control, it is the insurgents who supervise and monitor delivery. In this, the first of a series of case studies looking at the delivery of services in districts over which the Taleban have control or influence, AAN researcher Said Reza Kazemi investigates the provision of governance and security, education, health, electricity, telecommunications and development projects, and unpacks a dual form of governance. Service Delivery in Insurgent-Affected Areas is a joint research project by the Afghanistan Analysts Network (AAN) and the United States Institute of Peace (USIP). For the methodology and literature review, see here. Obeh district: the context 1 / 22 Approximately 100 km to the east of Herat city, linked by mainly non-asphalted roads; mountainous, cut through by fertile Harirud River valley

  • Geohydrologic Summary of the Dusar-Shaida Copper and Tin Area of Interest
    Chapter 6C. Geohydrologic Summary of the Dusar-Shaida Copper and Tin Area of Interest By Thomas J. Mack and Michael P. Chornack 6C.1 Introduction This chapter describes the geohydrology of the Dusar-Shaida copper and tin area of interest (AOI) in Afghanistan identified by Peters and others (2007) (fig. 6C–1a,b). The AOI is located in the districts of Ghoryan, Guzara, Adraskan, Anar Dara, and Shindand in Hirat and Farah Provinces in western Afghanistan, and is centered about 85 km (kilometers) southwest of the city of Herat (fig. 6C– 1a,b). The Kaftar volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS), Shaida, and Dahana-Misgaran subareas occupy 2,717 km2 (square kilometers), 334 km2, and 171 km2, respectively, of the 8,619-km2 area of the AOI. Water is needed not only to process mineral resources in Afghanistan, but also to supply existing communities and the associated community growth that may accompany a developing mining economy. Information on the climate, vegetation, topography, and demographics of the AOI is summarized to provide information on the seasonal availability of, and seasonal demands for, water. The geohydrology of the AOI is described through the use of maps of streams and irrigated areas, generalized geohydrology and topography, and well locations. Where these data are available, the depth to water and height of static water in wells are documented. The results of lineament analyses are presented to identify areas where the rock may be more fractured than in other areas, which may be an indicator of high relative water yield and storage in some bedrock aquifers. Afghanistan’s recent turbulent history has left many of the traditional archival institutions in ruins, and most water-resource and meteorological data-collection activities had stopped by 1980.

  • Livelihood Trajectories in Afghanistan: Evidence from Three Villages in Herat Province
    Researching livelihoods and services affected by conflict Livelihood trajectories in Afghanistan: evidence from three villages in Herat Province Working Paper 54 Danielle Huot, Adam Pain and Ihsanullah Ghafoori December 2016 Funded by the EC About us Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium (SLRC) aims to generate a stronger evidence base on how people make a living, educate their children, deal with illness and access other basic services in conflict-affected situations. Providing better access to basic services, social protection and support to livelihoods matters for the human welfare of people affected by conflict, the achievement of development targets such as the Sustainable Development Goals and international efforts at peace- and state-building. At the centre of SLRC’s research are three core themes, developed over the course of an intensive one- year inception phase: § State legitimacy: experiences, perceptions and expectations of the state and local governance in conflict-affected situations § State capacity: building effective states that deliver services and social protection in conflict- affected situations § Livelihood trajectories and economic activity under conflict The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) is the lead organisation. SLRC partners include the Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) in Sri Lanka, Feinstein International Center (FIC, Tufts University), the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU), the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) in Pakistan, Disaster Studies of Wageningen University (WUR) in the Netherlands, the Nepal Centre for Contemporary Research (NCCR), and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
