INTRODUCTION I.1. Summary Severe flooding and landslides during the month of April and May 2014 in Northern and North- Eastern Afghanistan destroyed many houses, increasing the exposure of thousands of already vulnerable families, who then had no access to reliable shelter to protect them from weather elements. In Sar-e Pul province alone a total of 685 houses were verified to be "completely destroyed" (Category A), mainly in Sar-e Pul City, and Gosfandi, Sayyad, and Sozma Qala districts. In May 2014 additional flash-floods in the south of Sar-e Pul province (districts Balkhab and Kohistanat) destroyed 48 more houses, bringing the total number of destroyed houses at 733. The Shelter Cluster with support from UNHCR and UNOCHA coordinated the shelter construction in the NR of Afghanistan. OFDA approved the funding of 400 shelters, but after adjusting the budget in October 2014, the total number of shelters increased from 400 to 452 shelters. Originally 400 of the most vulnerable families in the districts of Balkhab, Kohistanat, Gosfandi, Sozma Qala and Sayyad were selected, and the construction of the 400 shelters started during the first quarter of the project. The project adjustment for assistance to an additional 52 families was approved by OFDA on October 20, 2014. During the second quarter of the project - October, November and December 2014 - construction of all 452 shelters took place, and 449 shelters were completed by December 31, 2014. Different techniques were used to make the shelters more water resistant from raised plinth using local materials to plastering lower part of walls with cement. The PASSA training was done with women and men, but at the beneficiary and community level. Main emphasize was on building shelters in a safe location. Ramps were added to 5 shelters, to improve the mobility of disabled adults who were head or part of the beneficiary families. ZOA participated in the Review of the 2014 Flood Response that was held under the responsibility of the Afghanistan Shelter and NFI Cluster North and with strong support of UNHCR. Lessons learned of this review are included in this report. I.2. Objectives of the Final Report The main objective of this Final Report is to present the final results of the project, both in terms of the construction of the shelters as well as the training of the beneficiaries. Final Report April 2015 ‘Transitional Shelter Assistance Sar-e Pul’ Page 5 AID-OFDA-G-14-00140 II. PROCESS OF PROJECT ACTIVITIES II.1. Beneficiary Selection Team The total number of houses destroyed in the Province of Sar-e Pul was 733; the 507 in Balkhab, Gosfandi, Kohistanat, Sayyad and Sozma Qala that were assessed by ZOA, and an additional 226 in the Sar-e Pul district. During the coordination in the Shelter Cluster it was agreed that the needs of the Sar-e Pul district would be served by NRC, an International NGO, and the other five districts would be assisted by ZOA. The selection process as facilitated by ZOA staff was mainly community based, in collaboration with representatives of the local governmental agencies. Included were representatives of ANDMA (Afghan National Disaster Management Authority), RRD (Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development), and the district and provincial governor offices. The community is represented by members of the Community Development Council (CDC), a body elected in the context of the NSP project in each community to serve as focal point for NGOs and to manage/promote community owned development in their villages. Table 1 shows the total number of houses destroyed in the 5 districts,

  • Geohydrologic Summary of the Balkhab Copper Area of Interest
    Chapter 4C. Geohydrologic Summary of the Balkhab Copper Area of Interest By Thomas J. Mack and Michael P. Chornack 4C.1 Introduction This chapter describes the geohydrology of the Balkhab volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) copper area of interest (AOI) in northern Afghanistan identified by Peters and others (2007). The AOI is located in the Balkhab district of the Sari Pul Province, the Kishindih district of Balkh Province, and the Dara-i-Suf district of Sam Angan Province in northern Afghanistan (fig. 4C–1a,b), and is centered about 130 km (kilometers) southwest of the city of Mazari Sharif and about 130 km northwest of the village of Bamyan. The Balkhab prospect subarea covers 321 km2 (square kilometers) of the 1,858-km2 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. 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 bedrock aquifers. The results of field reconnaissance work conducted in the AOI by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) minerals teams in November 2009 are described.

  • The Dissipation of Political Capital Among Afghanistan's Hazaras
    Working Paper no. 51 THE DISSIPATION OF POLITICAL CAPITAL AMONG AFGHANISTAN’S HAZARAS : 2001-2009 Niamatullah Ibrahimi Crisis States Research Centre June 2009 Crisis States Working Papers Series No.2 ISSN 1749-1797 (print) ISSN 1749-1800 (online) Copyright © N. Ibrahimi, 2009 24 Crisis States Research Centre The Dissipation of Political Capital among Afghanistan’s Hazaras: 2001-2009 Niamatullah Ibrahimi Crisis States Research Centre Introduction Since its establishment in 1989 Hizb-e Wahdat-e Islami Afghanistan (The Islamic Unity Party of Afghanistan) has been an important political and military player in Afghanistan. Like most contemporary major political parties in Afghanistan, Hizb-e Wahdat is rooted in the turbulent period of the anti-Soviet resistance movements in Afghanistan in the 1980s. It was formed to bring together nine separate and mostly inimical military and ideological groups into a single entity. During the period of the civil war in the early 1990s, it emerged as one of the major actors in Kabul and some other parts of the country. Political Islamism was the ideology of most of its key leaders but it gradually tilted towards its Hazara ethnic support base and became the key vehicle of the community’s political demands and aspirations. Its ideological background and ethnic support base has continuously shaped its character and political agenda. Through the jihad and the civil war, Wahdat accumulated significant political capital among Afghanistan’s Hazaras, which arguably could have been spent in the establishment of long-lasting political institutions in Afghanistan. By 2009, however, Wahdat was so fragmented and divided that the political weight it carried in the country bore little resemblance to what it had once been.

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.
