Second Standard Allocation Str P a g e | 1 2016 AFGHANISTAN COMMON HUMANITARIAN FUND Second Standard Allocation Strategy 2016 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Allocation Strategy The Afghanistan Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF) was established in January 2014 under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC). The objective of the CHF is to promote needs based assistance in accordance with humanitarian principles, to respond to the most urgent needs, and strengthen coordination and leadership of the HC. The CHF enables a strategic response to address gaps in delivering priority actions in the 2016 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP). The priorities identified for funding under the envelopes of this Allocation Strategy have been identified following an inter cluster led Mid-Year Review of the HRP. The review exercise assessed progress in the first six months of the year compared to targets and priorities set by each sector; identified contextual changes impacting humanitarian needs; and considered newly available data pointing to additional or exacerbated humanitarian needs that have emerged or developed over the past six months. This comprehensive joint analysis informed a prioritization exercise through which the most urgent humanitarian needs and response gaps were determined. The criteria for prioritisation took into account where most lives could be saved; geographical areas most severely affected; which activities are time critical or critically enabling and which activities maximise cost efficiencies and value for money. This strategy paper therefore reflects a robust analysis of where and how to allocate critical resources where they are most needed over the coming months. The total amount of funding available for this allocation is c. $23 million. The funding will be allocated to address the following priorities: 1. Provide critical treatment for children under five and pregnant and lactating women with acute malnutrition - particularly targeted to underserved conflict IDPs and refugees; 2. Ensure emergency first aid and trauma capability to treat an increasing number of conflict casualties; 3. Address urgent protection concerns, basic service and assistance gaps, and reduce ERW casualties among people recently displaced by conflict; 4. Identify and address neglected shelter gaps and food insecurity threats among families who lost their homes and livelihoods in past natural disaster events and remain extremely vulnerable; 5. Strengthen humanitarian coordination and enhance the quality of data gathering and needs analysis to inform future response programme design at a strategic level; 6. Maintenance of an Emergency Reserve of $5 million, to enable flexible response to new, unforeseen humanitarian emergencies. To be activated by the HC as and when need arises. Coordination Saves Lives 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. http://afg.humanitarianresponse.info/ P a g e | 2 Allocation envelopes Envelope One: Emergency support to address a worsening malnutrition crisis Acute Malnutrition remains a widespread problem in 2016 HRP SO4: Treatment and Afghanistan. Since the publication of the 2013 National prevention of acute malnutrition Nutrition Survey (NNS) the scale of the malnutrition crisis in has received increased attention however evidence from Bridge critical gaps in Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS) treatment of acute malnutrition 2016 province level SMART surveys indicate that the and prevent further deterioration of nutritional nutrition situation remains serious and in some cases is status. deteriorating.

Outpatient SAM interventions are a sufficient quantity of safe drinking water, use of only reaching an estimated 38% of those that need adequate and gender sensitive sanitation facilities and appropriate hygiene practices. treatment. Across the board critical barriers remain with regards to ensuring children with unmet needs have access Allocation: $8.0 million to treatment of acute malnutrition. There are many contributing factors but key amongst these is the limited access to community level delivery of services, especially nutrition education, counselling, and treatment follow-up, and overall weak capacity at all levels of health care. Four coverage assessments carried out so far in 2016 (Laghman, Wardak, Ghazni and Herat) all indicated coverage well below recommended sphere standards in terms of the proportion of SAM children accessing treatment. These findings align with 16 other coverage assessments conducted in 2015. The lack of complimentary Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) services in Herat province has been identified as one of the main barriers to the treatment of malnutrition and a significant contributing factor to high numbers of SAM cases in the province as children receive no care in the early stages of malnutrition - only when they deteriorate to a severe state. Those children that deteriorate to the most severe and complicated state of malnutrition require referral to in patient Therapeutic Feeding Units (TFU). Lack of access to, and poor condition of existing TFU facilities Coordination Saves Lives 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. http://afg.humanitarianresponse.info/ P a g e | 3 however is a major challenge. TFUs in District Hospitals, particularly in the cluster targeted provinces urgently need to be assessed and rehabilitated to include adequate facilities for preparation of therapeutic foods, improve the water, sanitation and hygiene conditions of the sites, and ensure adequate provision of F-75/F-100 milk preparation kits. Conflict and insecurity compound the problems of poor service coverage. The spread of the conflict has not only interrupted and limited access to health facilities but caused massive displacement of families who experience prolonged periods of uncertainty and substandard living often in circumstances which exacerbate the risks for their children becoming undernourished. A Rapid Nutrition Assessment (RNA) undertake in the Kabul Informal Settlements (KIS) where more than 45,000 IDPS are estimated to live (20% children) found combined GAM and SAM prevalence of 21.9% and 5.9% respectively indicating an urgent need to ensure access to treatment programmes for over 2,000 children. Similar circumstances of deprived living conditions and limited coverage of health and nutrition services, has likely contributed to an increase in malnutrition detected among refugee children in the Gulan camp in Khost province. The RNA conducted there in May indicates emergency levels of acute malnutrition (wasting) with GAM and SAM prevalence of 17.3% and 4.6 % respectively and a significant deterioration in stunting (indication of chronic malnutrition) since last year, increasing from 37% to almost 50%. The surveys have further revealed significantly poor nutritional status of both pregnant and lactating women however the cluster receives extremely inadequate funding to provide critical nutrition support for this target group – essential to tackle the intergenerational cycle of malnutrition. In Afghanistan, this cycle is accentuated by high rates of pregnancy among adolescent girls who themselves often suffer stunted growth due to poor nutrition. As such they are therefore highly likely to have low-birth-weight babies, significantly contributing to infant mortality and severe short- and long-term adverse health consequences and markedly increasing the chance of childhood malnutrition and irreversible cumulative growth and development deficits. A major constraint in addressing malnutrition is the availability of recent assessment data to help target the most critical needs. Since 2013 the cluster has gradually been updating the findings of the NNS. During the 1st half of 2016 the nutrition Cluster through ACF and partners have managed to assess and provide updated evidence for 7 provinces and through additional CHF funding in the first 2016 will continue to assess another 8 priority provinces through multi-sectorial

  • Understanding Afghanistan
    Understanding Afghanistan: The Importance of Tribal Culture and Structure in Security and Governance By Shahmahmood Miakhel US Institute of Peace, Chief of Party in Afghanistan Updated November 20091 “Over the centuries, trying to understand the Afghans and their country was turned into a fine art and a game of power politics by the Persians, the Mongols, the British, the Soviets and most recently the Pakistanis. But no outsider has ever conquered them or claimed their soul.”2 “Playing chess by telegraph may succeed, but making war and planning a campaign on the Helmand from the cool shades of breezy Shimla (in India) is an experiment which will not, I hope, be repeated”.3 Synopsis: Afghanistan is widely considered ungovernable. But it was peaceful and thriving during the reign of King Zahir Shah (1933-1973). And while never held under the sway of a strong central government, the culture has developed well-established codes of conduct. Shuras (councils) and Jirgas (meeting of elders) appointed through the consensus of the populace are formed to resolve conflicts. Key to success in Afghanistan is understanding the Afghan mindset. That means understanding their culture and engaging the Afghans with respect to the system of governance that has worked for them in the past. A successful outcome in Afghanistan requires balancing tribal, religious and government structures. This paper outlines 1) the traditional cultural terminology and philosophy for codes of conduct, 2) gives examples of the complex district structure, 3) explains the role of councils, Jirgas and religious leaders in governing and 4) provides a critical overview of the current central governmental structure.

  • Paktika Province
    UNHCR BACKGROUND REPORT PAKTIKA PROVINCE Prepared by the Data Collection for Afghan Repatriation Project 1 September 1989 PREFACE '!he follc,,.,ing report is one in a series of 14 provincial profiles prepared for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees by the Data collec­ tion for Afghan Repatriation Project. '!he object of these reports is to provide detailed information on the conditions affecting the repatriation of Afghan refugees in each province so that UNHCRand its inplementing partners may be better able to plan and target progranunes of relief and rehabilitation assistance. Each of the provinces featured in this series is estimated to have at least 35 percent of its pre-1978 population living as refugees. Together, these 14 provinces -- Baghlan, Farah, Ghazni, Helmand, Herat, Kandahar, Kunar, I.aghman, Logar, Nangarhar, Nimroz, Paktia, Paktika and Zarul -- account for ninety percent of the Afghan refugee population settled in Iran and Pakistan. The Data collection for Afghan Repatriation Project (OCAR)was funded by UNHCRto develop a databr3se of information on Afghanistan that would serve as a resource for repatriation planning. Project staff based iJl Peshawar and Quetta have corrlucted interviews and surveys in refugee calTlpS through­ out NWFP,Baluchistan and Punjab provinces in Pakistan to compile data on refugee origins, ethnic and tribal affiliation and likely routes of refugee return to Afghanistan. In addition, the project field staff undertake frequent missions into Afghanistan to gather specific inform­ ation on road conditions, the availability of storage facilities, trans­ portation and fuel, the level of destruction of housing, irrigation systems and farmland, the location of landmines and the political and military situation at the district (woleswali)arrl sub-district (alagadari) levels in those provinces of priority concern to UNHCR.

  • PFC Dudley of 1St Platoon, Comanche Company Pulls Se- Curity Along a Kalat Wall While on Patrol in Khost Province
    geronimo journal PFC Dudley of 1st Platoon, Comanche Company pulls se- curity along a Kalat Wall while on patrol in Khost Province. Task Force 1-501 Family and Friends, We are at the hump, or maybe just over it, in terms of our deployment length, but there is still much to be done. We’re continuing to make progress in terms of Afghan forces being able to provide security; and these gains are opening the doors for significantly larger gains, progress begets progress. The willingness of our Afghan partners to take initiative in the planning and execution of operations is continually increasing. At the lower (Company/ PLT equivalent) level, our Afghan partner forces remain strong and competent. At the Kandak (Battalion equiva- lent) level and up they still face challenges, particularly in the area of logistic support. It is not for a lack of will, sometimes they’re just not sure how their own systems are supposed to work (a problem that can be found in our own Army). We have created some of this problem on our own over the past 10 years - supplying Afghan forces with whatever they need, as opposed to forcing their system to work. Our Security Force Assistance (SFA) Team (“Team Salakar”) is critical in helping our Afghan partners build their ability to supply themselves, communicate and synchronize operations across Khost Province. Team Salakar, in conjunction with our Companies, works con- stantly at various level to assist our Afghan partners in finding “Afghan solutions to Afghan problems.” We have completed the transition of Company Commanders in Easy and Blackfoot Companies, with CPT Adam Jones now at the helm of the FSC and CPT Matt Mobley leading Blackfoot Company at JCOP Chergowtah.

These elections were the first to be fully led and organised by the Afghanistan Independent Election Commission (IEC) and the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) took the lead in providing security for the elections. It was also the first time that arrangements were made for prisoners and hospitalised citizens, to cast their votes. The steady increase of security-related incidents by Anti-Government Elements (AGEs) was a dominant factor in the preparation and holding of the elections. Despite commendable efforts from the ANSF, insecurity had a bearing on the decision of Afghans to participate in the elections Polling day recorded the highest number of attacks and other forms of intimidation for some 15 years.

  • Daily Situation Report 10 November 2010 Safety and Security Issues Relevant to Sssi Personnel and Clients
    Strategic SSI - Afghanistan DAILY SITUATION REPORT 10 NOVEMBER 2010 SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUES RELEVANT TO SSSI PERSONNEL AND CLIENTS STANDING THREAT ASSESSMENT (KABUL): Threat reports continue to indicate that insurgents aspire to conduct coordinated attacks in Kabul City, as such the threat remains extant. Recent threat reporting has also indicated likely reconnaissance of areas and businesses frequented by members of the international community. Although no significant attacks were carried out in Kabul during the recent parliamentary election, or indeed after the event, the recent reduction in physical security in the city may provide insurgents with exploitable opportunities to carry out attacks. Suicide and complex attacks remain the preferred choice for insurgents in order to gain maximum casualties figures and the associated high degree of media attention. It remains possible that insurgents will still seek to undermine the democratic process by conducting high profile attacks when the final results are announced. It remains prudent for international agencies in the Kabul area to maintain a high degree of security vigilance. Sporadic IDF attacks in the city centre are to be expected. Any attacks are likely to consist of between one and four 107 mm rockets launched towards the city centre. Incidents of intimidation, executions by insurgents and targeting of government officials are increasing throughout the country. It seems to be a form of revenge by insurgents as they have lost more than 300 insurgent commanders over the past
