XM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA1/CCS/UN/18084United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAll the humanitarian organizations operating in Afghanistan have a plan to reach 15.7 million people annually with life-saving assistance at a cost of US$1.3 billion. The United Nations Humanitarian Air Services (UNHAS) is a critical enabler of this effort allowing users to support over 5 million beneficiaries. UNHAS is a common service for the humanitarian community, managed by the World Food Programme. UNHAS offers reliable, cost-efficient and effective passenger and light cargo transport for the wider humanitarian community to reach vulnerable people in 19 provinces in Afghanistan. UNHAS will also provide security and medical relocation of humanitarian personnel, including COVID-19 capacity, within Afghanistan. UNHAS was established in Afghanistan in 2002. With 67 skilled staff and maintaining critical presence in nine locations around Afghanistan. UNHAS operates three fixed-wing and one rotary aircraft from Kabul to reach various destinations in the country. UNHAS also maintain imperative links between different field stations to avoid flights via Kabul. UNHAS serves major cities directly and stops at remotes locations between them to expand the access of its humanitarian partners. Humanitarian needs remain high in the country and due to on-going conflict, and insecurity, the service is crucial for relief workers to access remote areas for humanitarian intervention. UNHAS currently has 200 registered user organizations from the humanitarian community out of which 160 are active users. UNHAS serves 21 regular destinations in Afghanistan, and able to offer special flights in case of humanitarian priorities, emergencies, natural disaster, and/or security or medical evacuation within and out of Afghanistan. As a demand-driven, user-oriented common service, UNHAS quickly adapts to meet the air transport needs of the humanitarian community. The flight service is implemented with guidance and close collaboration with the UNHAS Steering Committee (UNHAS board consisting of donors, UN agencies, and NGO representative and chaired by the UN HC), and the User Group (consists of all registered users appointed representatives). These bodies have representative from both female and male professional representing their organizations. In addition, UNHAS interacts and reviews feedback from the Humanitarian Access Group (HAG), UNDSS, WFP, and the Afghan Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). UNHAS coordinates with other non-commercial aviation services, and UNAMA Aviation, PACTEC, MSF and ICRC to meet the needs of the humanitarian community. UNHAS works in close collaboration with these and other stakeholders to identify gaps and coordinate the Inter-Agency transport in the country. These forums determine the requirements for air transport needs, align to the greater humanitarian community, and follow up actions feedback is provided in the following meetings amp included in the minutes. To ensure female travelling with UNHAS are treated fairly, UNHAS has employed a number of female staff to support passenger processing and screening. To encourage national staff female travel, UNHAS has implemented a reduced fare $50 for female travel, while the regular fare is $150 or $300. For special needs passengers with disabilities, UNHAS staff will provide check-in, embarkation and disembarkation assistance to passengers with special needs per the UNHAS "procedure manual." Users have been advised that the booking request need to indicate any special needs and requests in the “remark column” in the booking request. For its updated risk assessment process, UNHAS interacts and shares information with a number of stakeholders, including ACAA, DSS, INSO, ICRC, MSF and other actors who may provide security intelligence for a realistic risk assessment. UNHAS is in current talks with several donors to secure additional funding, and with the expected donations and cost recovery from passengers, UNHAS should be able to continue the air servicWorld Food ProgrammeWorld Food ProgrammeAfghanistan Humanitarian FundConny AkerstromChief UNHAS+93 (0) 797662014conny.akerstrom@wfp.orgKhalilullah KakarHead of Customer Support+93 (0) 706004283 khalilullah.kakar@wfp.orgDelkhah FayaziFinance Officer+93 (0) 795034762delkhah.fayazi@wfp.orgDanielle NaranjillaHead of Partnership and Communication+93 (0) 706017445danielle.naranjilla@wfp.orgBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Badghis35.16713390 63.76953840Balkh36.89091580 67.18944880Bamyan34.90732960 67.18944880Daykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Faryab36.07956130 64.90595500Ghazni33.55000000 68.41666700Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Hilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Hirat34.34194400 62.20305600Kabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Khost33.35850790 69.85974060Kunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Paktika32.26453860 68.52471490Paktya33.70619900 69.38310790Uruzgan32.92712870 66.14152630Coordination and Support Services3100000.003100000.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Food Programme3100000.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Food ProgrammeXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA2/APC/INGO/18685United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSave the Children Afghanistan (SCI-Af) will implement a comprehensive package of child protection in emergencies services, including specialized case management, capacity building, systems strengthening, and MHPSS in Saripul and Kandahar provinces, targeting conflict and other crisis-affected children and families, internally displaced and of the host communities.

The needs of the population remain high and since the approaches of former projects proved to be highly effective, Tdh proposes to embark on another project for vulnerable IDPs, returnees, and conflict affected population of the provinces Nangarhar, and Kunar. The project intends to strengthen the resilience of these groups by reducing vulnerabilities through access to information on CP, by addressing specific needs through community delivered life-saving psycho-social services, the establishment of a case management system (protection) and by strengthening protection mechanisms through Community Based Child Protection Committees (CBCPC, consisting of influential people in the community such as teachers) and volunteers. These activities will be delivered in order to improve the coping mechanism of children and to detect most vulnerable children in need of further assistance. The separated and unaccompanied children will be provided with prevention and response through interim care in Torkham and in Asadabad center of Kunar provinces. The activities will be implemented by expert Tdh social worker and social animator in the districts mentioned below. This 6-month will be implemented in the Eastern provinces as follows: - In Nangarhar: Mohmandara district (2 villages including Torkham), Durbaba district (2 villages), Bati Kot district (2 villages), Haska Mina district (2 villages),- Kunar: Norgal district (2 villages) Chawki district (2 villages), Narnag district (2 villages) and Sarkano district(2 villages). Total 16 village will be covered during the project implementation period. The data collected during the planned IJTEMA 5 activities will be shared with the clusters and OCHA regularly and, when relevant, will be shared with other partners for further support for the intervention area. The sustainability and relevancy of the proposed project will be reinforced by integrating lessons learned and impact analysis based on the assessment report. Tdh will establish Child wellbeing centre for the children who are at risk of violence in two provinces in the east region of the country focus most on the hard to reach districts. The child wellbing center will be a save place for the children to go an engage in wellbeing activities such as games and art and can learn about their rights.The Terre des hommes FoundationThe Terre des hommes FoundationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundDr. Erhard BauerCountry Representative Afghanistan-pakistan-tajikistan+ 93 707 154 657erhard.bauer@tdh.ch Mohammad Faisal ArozoFinance Coordinator + 93 (0) 700 29 23 34faisal.mohammad@tdh.ch Mohammad Daud Ibrahim Khail Child Protection Coordinator +93700379990mohammed.daud@tdh.chKunar34.84658930 71.09731700Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Protection316393.7783606.64400000.41Afghanistan Humanitarian FundThe Terre des hommes Foundation320000.33Afghanistan Humanitarian FundThe Terre des hommes Foundation70014.67Afghanistan Humanitarian FundThe Terre des hommes Foundation2835.78The Terre des hommes FoundationUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA2/APC/INGO/18698United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsIn Afghanistan in spring 2021, the population is facing a multitude of challenges that are exacerbating pre-existing needs, including abnormally low precipitation and increasing conflict in addition to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This has led to a context of increasing and protracted displacement in urban and informal sites settings. Additionally, within this perio, more than 230,000 undocumented migrants and refugee returnees are expected to cross back into Afghanistan and require humanitarian assistance. NRC will conduct protection monitoring to enhance evidence-based advocacy for the communities living in targeted collective sites. NRC will advocate to local authorities, UN agencies, donors, and other humanitarian partners to strengthen humanitarian coordination in regards to the humanitarian response. NRC will deploy dedicated protection field monitors as part of its Site Management teams to conduct protection monitoring. The field protection monitors will maintain a stable presence in the targeted communities, will be conducting regular protection monitoring visits following an agreed upon methodology for data collection (focus group discussions, key informant interviews, household interviews, observations), as well as analysis and reporting in Badghis Province (Moqur and Kamari Districts) Herat Province (Injil and Karukh Districts) and Kunduz Province (Kunduz City and Chartaq Districs). Also in this context, where vulnerable persons are not able to access land or find adequate housing, Housing, Land and Property (HLP) rights must be safeguarded. Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), returnees and host communities must be empowered and supported to claim and secure HLP rights. NRC through its Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) programme aims to promote access to rights through emergency legal support and advocacy to vulnerable populations. This will be done primarily through the provision of legal awareness, counselling and legal assistance on HLP and related rights, including the right to civil documentation. This is particularly important as inaccurate information on entitlements during this volatile period can exacerbate existing challenges and frustrate displacement-affected persons leading to negative coping mechanisms. Furthermore, NRC will provide capacity building for duty bearers to improve services and promote accountability within the formal and informal justice system, as well as within the administrative departments. The proposed action will be implemented over a six-month period in Western and Northern Afghanistan, precisely in Badghis Province (Qala-e-Naw and Kamari Districts) Sare-Pul Province (Sare-Pul Center District) Faryab Province (Maimana, Pashtonkut, Andkhoy, and Khanch Districts) and Balkh Province (Mazar-e-Sharif, Nahr Shahi, Dehdadi, Kholm and Marmul Districts). These are areas with high numbers of displaced and returning Afghans and different drivers of displacement, where HLP needs are high, and where the humanitarian response is currently unable to adequately address the HLP needs.

The entire target districts in Badghis province are drought affected which it has negatively impacted people’s access to GBV response, prevention and referral services. The key approach towards the designing the intervention model is based on the rapid assessment findings, experience and lesson learnt by HealthNet TPO in the field of GBV in light of Protection strategic objectives and priority activities aligned with HRP-2021 as well as key recommendations from the key stakeholders. The modality of services will be deployment of five Mobile outreach Teams (One outreach team in each target district). Each outreach team will provide GBV case identification, GBV case management through GBV survivor centered approach, distribution of dignity kits to vulnerable Reproductive Aged Women, GBV referral services, awareness raising and psychosocial services through outreach team within the community to enhance the coping mechanisms of vulnerable women and girls to alleviate stress related problems as a result of the droughts. Previous coordination is made with JUH (MMRCA) for supporting the actions with regard to referral of GBV cases for further health and GBV response and preventive services in Badghis province (JUH is invited for submission of proposal under the Health Cluster in Badghis province). The proposed activities will be for duration of six months and Based on the rapid assessment carried out in Badghis, the 6 districts of Qala-e-Naw, Maqar, Qadas, Jawan/Balamorghab ( One outreach team will cover cover Jawan and Balamorghab districts) and Aab kamary are drought affected. The total population in these 6 districts is 12,180 who are in need of protection services.

HALO was founded in Afghanistan and has over 30 years of experience conducting Mine Action activities in the county. More recently, HALO established the first AbIMs capability in Afghanistan. Since 2018, HALO has deployed AIM manual clearance, mechanical clearance, non-technical survey (NTS), quick response teams and explosive ordnance education (EORE) teams. HALO is the only mine action organisation in Afghanistan with experience in clearing AIMs. HALO has deployed AIM teams across 12 provinces and conducted clearance in Helmand, Ghazni, and Nangarhar provinces. As of April 2021, HALO has cleared 645,113 square meters of AIM contamination, safely locating and destroying 354 AIMs, to the benefit of 283,229 individuals. Afghanistan continues to suffer from a deadly conflict that has lasted over 40 years. There are high levels of poverty and acute food insecurity across the country, particularly in Eastern provinces like Nangarhar which is experiencing crisis levels (IPC April 2021). As the conflict intensifies, the number of internally displaced people is expected to rise. Explosive devices that remain after conflict often prevent people from returning home, and injure or kill those who do or are fleeing conflict in other areas. AIM clearance in Nangarhar will directly contribute to saving the lives and livelihoods of some of the most vulnerable populations in Afghanistan. Under this project, HALO will deploy 11 manual clearance teams to Deh Bala and Achin districts. Each AIM clearance team will consist of five AIM deminers, one AIM deminer medic, one senior medic, and one team leader. HALO will also provide employment to local community members as guards, cooks, drivers, and community mobilisers over the course of the project. Under the original project design, HALO proposed the purchase of eight Wirehound VR1 detectors. However, since then, the DMAC has generously agreed to provide HALO with 11 Wirehound detectors for the duration of the upcoming AHF AIM clearance project. This development has allowed HALO to propose the deployment of three additional AIM teams and provide greater benefit to affected communities. Freight and transport costs will be avoided, and instead the budget will include insurance for the detectors while they are in HALO possession. In addition to the clearance teams, HALO will also deploy two quick response teams, which will operate in Deh Bala, Achin and Bati Kot districts. This team will consist of one team leader, one assistant team leader, one deminer, and one deminer medic. One team leader will be AIM EOD qualified. The teams will conduct the following activities: o Collect accurate information on mine/ERW/AIM contamination in the planned districts, and victim information. o Marking of hazardous areas identified during survey to deter civilian entrance and reduce risk of accidents. o Provide Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) for at-risk populations in the planned districts to raise awareness of the risks and provide critical information on safe behavior that can reduce the likelihood of accidents. o dispose of AIM components through community and security forces’ call outs, although only one team will have EOD capability, the other team will be able to coordinate safe disposal of AIMs The targets for the project are: At least 216,553 square meters cleared 7 tasks released Total direct and indirect beneficiaries: 22,665 4,424 (632 men, 632 women, 1,546 boys, and 1,614 girls) direct beneficiaries from clearance 3,321 (822 men, 815 women, 848 boys, and 836 girls) indirect beneficiaries from clearance 828 EORE sessions delivered 12,420 (1,020 men, 7,400 boys, and 4,000 girls) EORE beneficiaries About 2,500 (300 men, 285 women, 1,115 boys, and 800 girls) direct beneficiaries of survey and AIM EOD.HALO TRUSTHALO TRUSTAfghanistan Humanitarian FundVictoria TelfordHead Partnerships and Donor Management+93706346608victoria.telford@halotrust.orgKandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Protection699984.91699984.91Afghanistan Humanitarian FundHALO TRUST559987.93Afghanistan Humanitarian FundHALO TRUST139996.98Afghanistan Humanitarian FundHALO TRUST2616.88HALO TRUSTUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA2/APC/INGO/18761United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsWar child UK is proposing an integrated emergency child protection response project to address the growing humanitarian child protection needs of drought, conflict, Covid-19, and other emergency affected boys, girls, women, and men in three provinces (12 districts) of Afghanistan over six months. The purpose of the proposed project will be to ensure vulnerable children and families have timely and effective access to child protection assistance and increased their psychosocial wellbeing with increased resilience to future shocks. The proposed project will have two main objectives 1) To strengthening community-based child protection mechanism to create a protective environment and to address child protection issues and create a sustainable link for the promotion of child protection in the affected communities2) To increase the psychosocial well-being of boys and girls affected by conflict, drought, and Covid-19 through the provision of PFA, PSS. 3) To provide specialized child protection services through the case management approach, including FTR War Child UK will conduct Baseline and end-line assessment to systematically collect, analyses, and measure progress against planned objectives and indicators in the three targeted provinces. The proposed project will also strengthen Community Based Child protection mechanism through capacity building training, coaching and mentoring, organizing joint awareness-raising campaign, and strengthen coordination, referral, and link CBCPCs with multi-sectorial actors, CPANs and DCPANs members to mainstream child protection in other sectors such as education, health, food, livelihood, shelter and water sanitation and this will help create a sustainable approach for longer-term services beyond the project period. WCUK will establish and train six Mobile Child Protection teams who will target hard-to-reach areas and locations including house-to-house outreach in the host communities. These teams will be responsible for delivering the following activities: Psychological First Aid to affected children case management support awareness-raising activities to children and adults PSS activities to children and provide identification, Family tracing, and Reunification services to unaccompanied and separated children. Static child protection services will be provided through 9 child-friendly spaces across the three targeted provinces. WCUK will implement the following activities: provide safe space for children to play, learn, and access psychosocial support to enable their continuous development in a protective and conducive environment. WCUK will establish a team of trained caseworkers to provide Case Management to emergency-affected boys and girls including unaccompanied and separated children in the three target provinces to address child protection needs and reduced negative coping mechanisms. Setting up help desks in the affected communities in the targeted areas where UASC cases can be identified and reported to the caseworker team for family tracing and reunification will be part of the project intervention. The project will be implemented in close coordination with MoLSA and DolSA departments, child protection in emergency sub-cluster, Child Protection action network, and other humanitarian actors working in the same locations in order to efficiently fill the gap, link with the other ongoing programs, and strengthen the local capacity to respond to the child protection needs in emergencies in the long term.

Throughout 2021, Awaaz will continue providing a reliable two-way information relay between affected people and humanitarian responders to help combat the impact of the potential drought, sporadic flooding, conflict and COVID-19 as outlined in the Spring Disaster Contingency Plan (Mar-Jun 2021). As a collective and cross-sectoral project, Awaaz provides a nationwide and toll-free hotline and can share location-relevant information with affected people in line with needs on an ad-hoc basis, as well as to monitor and share relevant information on emerging needs and issues reported from the ground with respective partners. Strengthening Awaaz as the central remote feedback channel is considered a top Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) priority and need in the country, which becomes even more crucial when areas become (temporarily) inaccessible due to conflicts or shocks inflicted by natural disasters. At full capacity, Awaaz can communicate directly with over 4,000 Afghans per month from the entire country, or indirectly with 24,000 Afghans (based on an average family size of seven), but without emergency funding to cover co-funding, it will activate operational closure processes in the second half of 2021. Functioning as a cross-network, toll-free call centre, by dialling 410, any Afghan with access to a mobile phone can speak to one of eight operators in either Dari, Pashto, Urdu or English, to access information on or lodge feedback about the ongoing humanitarian interventions around the country. Relaying this self-identification of needs and priorities to the humanitarian community (disaggregated by gender, age, location and needs) promotes the integration of beneficiaries’ feedback into the programme cycle and endorses the Grand Bargain’s commitment to the participation revolution. Additionally, Awaaz sets its AAP targets in line with the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) and the HRP’s efforts to support effective coordination through the Cluster system under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC). With conflict intensifying, slow- and sudden-onset crises looming, a deterioration to the protection environment is anticipated. By communicating feedback in real-time, Awaaz can support humanitarian partners’ capacity to detect and respond to needs and provide lifesaving emergency interventions. As such, Awaaz requires funding from the AHF to continue providing the following vital services upon which the delivery of an effective, coordinated and accountable humanitarian response in Afghanistan depends: The immediate relay of accurate information that enables informed decision making, especially in times of crises, whether natural or man-made, when at-risk communities are further exposed to protection violations The rapid processing of urgent protection concerns, including allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA), as well as International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and International Human Rights Law (IHRL) violations The reporting of self-identified needs, priorities, and vulnerabilities that can help ensure programmes deliver immediate and effective assistance to prevent the loss of life The opening up of hard-to-reach areas to support the humanitarian community’s ability to assess and respond to needs in underserved areas The supporting of monitoring efforts to ensure assistance is provided in a principled and dignified manner to all populations in need, equally.

Recent examples include the 2018 drought in Herat and this year’s floods in Parwan. Climate change is expected to exacerbate the frequency and severity of natural hazards to increase IDP caseload. In this context, systems for allocating safe land and transitional shelter for climate displaced groups until it is safe to return to their Place of Origin are absent. In the recent Parwan floods, over a thousand displaced families are without durable shelter as authorities have struggled to provide suitable safe land for their settlement. In response, the Government of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GoIRA) have requested UN-Habitat to support climate displaced populations access climate safe land to increase their climate resilience. The action will support GoIRA to provide 8,500 IDPs access to secure, legally documented land for their permanent safe settlement at a site not vulnerable to natural disasters and that is located in reasonable prximaty to livelhoods and other social and economic services. To this end, the action will undertake the following activities: - Identify land for safe and secure settlement of IDPs displaced by natural disasters: Hazard mapping and site suitability assessment for the safe, secure and sustainable settlement of climate displaced IDPs - Securing land rights associated with the settlement site: topographic survey, clearance of property rights associated with the site entering details into State Land Bank physical demarcation of plot parcels for allocation to IDP families provision of tenure security documents to IDP families - Develop and gazette settlement master plan for sustainable settlement of IDPs - Coordination with government and humanitarian agencies to extend shelter, infrastructure and service investments in the site. Preliminary identification of the vacant land for settlement in partnership with the government has occurred and a document detailing the specifications of this land has been attached in the supplementary documents section. The project timeline of 6 months allows for the completion of all project activities because the ground work for implementation has been completed - staff are in place for the development of materplans, Terms of Reference have been drawn up for required contracted activities, and government cooperation in the implementation of the activities has been secured. The project will provide secure land for the flood displaced. It is envisaged that coordination with other clusters will then provide additional support to households to invest in durable shelter on the site. To this end, the HLP taskforce is currently drafting an advocacy brief with the ES/NFI cluster to mobilize funds for shelter investments in securely held land distributed by the government in Parwan and other locations.

UNHCR will utilize two approaches to identify the most in-need. Recipients will be identified through validation of existing data and in-person assessments. Over the past years, UNHCR has conducted in-person vulnerability/needs assessments for populations of concern across the country for different cash-based and in-kind programmes including shelter, support to persons with specific needs and winterization, among others. The vulnerability profiles of these former cash recipients are consolidated, updated and maintained by UNHCR. Remote (phone-based) interviews will be conducted to validate the profiles of those for whom UNHCR has data, while in-person assessments will be conducted for households with the targeted profiles residing in the most impacted areas that have not been previously assessed or assisted by UNHCR. Data from Community-Based Protection Monitoring conducted through UNHCR regular programs to monitor protection risks and concerns at the individual and community level, will enable UNHCR to identify such areas. Upon identification of most impacted areas, a dedicated tool will be used to validate, identify, and assess these targeted households. Community elders are included for verification of selected recipients. Beneficiary Advisory Committee (BAC) are usually established for CfS. AWAAZ and UNHCR hotline numbers are provided are provided for recipients to raise concerns. Also, where possible, UNHCR also receives a primary/initial list from community leaders in some locations the lists are verified and included in the potential list for assessment based on the vulnerability and score card. All households with the targeted specific profiles will be scored as per the categorical selection criteria. Households will be assigned a score of ten (10) for each risk/vulnerability profile at the household representative level and a score of five (5) for each risk occurrence within the household. Each household’s score will then be aggregated and ranked in order of priority. Three levels of prioritization are envisaged: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Assistance will be disbursed to households according to their prioritization category. UNHCR will cover partner costs for in-person assessments and remote validation interviews, including Reconstruction, Health and Humanitarian Assistance (HEWAD), Coordination of Humanitarian Assistance (CHA), HRDA and BEST, all of whom have existing partnership agreements with UNHCR. The cash assistance will be delivered by a Financial Service Provider (FSP). UNHCR has ongoing cash-based programmes targeted for a cross-section of populations-in-need and existing distribution sites across the country will be utilized. Efforts to limit transmission of COVID-19 include organizing distribution into smaller distributions over several days, provision of facilities for handwashing and wearing PPE. UNHCR is responsible for disseminating information on the amounts, frequency, distribution points, dates and times for payments through phone calls and existing community leadership structures. During the distribution, the recipient will receive a brief awareness session including information regarding the complaints and feedback mechanism. Moreover, UNHCR staff and/or partner staff conduct KOBO based MSP performance monitoring per distribution exercise. The performance evaluations serve UNHCR and MSP’s quarterly evaluation, in which issues are discussed and follow up plan are scheduled including strategies on prevention of abuse of power by FSP staff around the country.United Nations High Commissioner for RefugeesUnited Nations High Commissioner for RefugeesAfghanistan Humanitarian FundGordana PopovicSenior Programme Officer0791990004popovic@unhcr.orgCaroline Van BurenUNHCR Representative 0791991000vanburen@unhcr.orgBaghlan35.80429470 69.28775350Daykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Faryab36.07956130 64.90595500Hirat34.34194400 62.20305600Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Kunar34.84658930 71.09731700Kunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Samangan35.98072960 67.57085360Sar-e-Pul35.67074730 66.04635340Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Protection339607.33339607.33Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations High Commissioner for Refugees339607.33Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations High Commissioner for RefugeesXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA2/APC/UN/18734United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThis project aims at providing lifesaving, quality, and survivor centered services for women and girls for a 6-month emergency GBV intervention in Ghor province. The province is extremely vulnerable to drought, which will further negatively impact women and girls’ access to GBV prevention and response services. Based on current interventions in the province as well as consultation with Afghanistan National Management Authority (ANMA), Provincial Public Helath Directorate, Provincial Department of Refugees and Repatration, an estimated population of 326,820 people is in need of services in 6 districts (Feroz Koh, Taiwarah, Pasaband, Dolayna, Toorak, Saghar). Key interventions have been designed based on the consulatitive assessment conducted by the implementing partner as well as in coordination with the GBV Sub-Cluster where following a prioritization exercise together with main partners Ghor was identified as priority province for assistance. Proposed areas and interventions follow strategic objectives and priority activities of HRP2021 and are in line with the spring disaster contingency plan. Services will be provided by an implementing partner via the deployment of six Mobile Outreach Teams (MOT) as well as six Women Friendly Health Spaces (WFHS)-- one team/space in each targeted district. UNFPA will monitor the quality of the services provided and provide technical support and technical expertise to the IP. Each outreach team will provide GBV case management through GBV survivor centered approach, distribution of dignity kits to women and girls in reproductive age, GBV referral services, awareness raising and psychosocial services through outreach team within the community to enhance the coping mechanisms of vulnerable women and girls. UNFPA will ensure IP will coordinate with MMRCA for supporting the actions with regard to referral of GBV cases for further health and GBV response and preventive services in Ghor province.

This led to increased security risks, movement and access restrictions at district level, fear and uncertainty amongst communities, and public schools to temporarily close. ACTED’s provincial and district offices across Samangan and Takhar were on lock-down for a period of time during this escalation and takeover. With the change of regime on 15 August, new security challenges and risks affecting the implementation of activities appeared, including uncertainty around education to girls, and the hiring of female teachers and staff. During the reporting period, in Takhar and Samangan, many public schools remained temporarily closed. After August 15, public schools in target areas slowly started reopening, however due to increased levels of fear and uncertainty amongst communities, it was observed and anecdotally reported that families decided to keep their children at home (especially girls) until the situation stabilized, and thus school attendance was reduced. Due to the change in context, that resulted in project delays and a need for project modification, ACTED proposes a 3-month Non-Cost Extension and Project Modification to appropriately and successfully respond to community needs. Herewith, targets remain the same, and few activities are changed or added. This includes to start the provision of TLS education to operate from rental or free-of-use community spaces. Once quality tents are set up in existing school areas, the TLS will continue to operate from here. By the end of the project, the quality tents will be donated to local public schools to absorb out of school children into the school system. All children targeted for education from TLS will be provided with student kits to ensure all children have the needed school materials. ACTED will provide each TLS with soap, a handwashing station and safe drinkable water. A winterization component will be added for teachers to be provided with cash for heating to continue education in TLS during the winter months.Agency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAfghanistan Humanitarian FundFrancois HericherCountry Director+93 (0) 728 427 169 Francois.Hericher@acted.orgAndrew MooreProject Development Manager+93 (0) 728 427 177Andrew.Moore@acted.orgGeorgina WheelerCountry Finance Manager+93 (0) 782 869 938Georgina.Wheeler@acted.orgSamangan35.98072960 67.57085360Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Education360660.28134792.22495452.50Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development396362.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development53369.64Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development274.12Agency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA2/ESNFI/INGO/18684United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsIn line with the AHF 2nd RA Strategy, HRP 2018-2021 SO1 and SO3, and the 2021 Spring Disaster Contingency Plan objectives 1, 2 and 3, Cordaid proposes to provide cash for shelter repair and cash for rent in priority 1 and 2 areas Ghor and Uruzgan. In Ghor (Chaghcharan and Shahrak) Cordaid will target 300 HH with category B (200 HH) and C (100 HH) damaged houses and in Uruzgan (Tarinkot), 500 HH with cat B (300 HH) and C (200HH) damaged houses. Following the ESNFI cluster recommended standard modalities, HHs with cat.B damaged houses will receive $500 and HH with cat.C damaged houses will receive $300, both in 2 instalments. Although not favourable, cash in local currency is delivered by a FSP (Bolero) through cash in envelop as other options aren't available. Level of damage is assessed by a shelter score card. In addition, 200 recently displaced or natural disaster affected HH in Uruzgan will receive $225 in 1 instalment, covering 3 months’ rent. The project is designed based on recent assessments and presence in both areas. In Ghor, fighting displaced people in and to Chaghcharan and Shahrak. From January to March, some 1,900 people have been displaced. It also damaged or destroyed people’s houses, lives and livelihoods. According to the WoAA, 92% of the displaced HH have ESNFI needs. Drivers of those needs are caused by a high percentage of people living in damaged shelter. According to the IOM drought projections, people in Ghor are in IPC4. With the majority of the people in Ghor depending on agriculture, people have little income and cannot afford repair of their houses: 61-80% of the HH in Ghor have a crisis or emergency LCI (WoAA). In Uruzgan, from 29 March – 4 April, 630 people were reportedly displaced to Tarinkot and in December 2020 some 4,000 people. Many IDPs are seeking refuge in Tarinkot centre as it is relatively safe compared to other areas. 70% of the respondents indicated that their shelter is (partially) destroyed and that they are living in sub-standard/ damaged and overcrowded shelters. Few people are able to return to their place of origin because they lack the funds to repair their houses as 23% is unemployed and most people have unreliable sources of income. 57% of the assessed people have a LCI ‘emergency’. Because of the large size of the average HH (10+ people) half of the respondents is at financial risk and 70% has incurred debts. Nearly all respondents are using negative/ irreversible coping strategies for their survival. 50% of the province is in IPC3+ and people lack the means to ensure sufficient food, let alone to repair their houses. Conflict, drought and flash floods are making them even more vulnerable, displaced people in particular as IDPs are unable to tend to their fields to provide for their families. With so many priorities, they are struggling to pay the rent and are at risk of eviction. The lack of appropriate shelter is representing health and protection risks for elderly, (chronically) ill and women/ girls in particular. The latter are already disproportionately affected by the conflict and COVID-19 and are lacking privacy as well. The cash for repair or rent, together with basic repair training will enable selected HHs to improve their immediate living conditions either through house repair or through rental assistance which is also following the CERF allocation providing life-saving shelter assistance to people affected by conflict, drought and COVID-19 in high (Ghor) and medium (Uruzgan) risk areas. Cash is used as markets (incl. rental market) are functional and materials are locally available. Prioritization is based on vulnerability, need for assistance and level of damage. As there is a large percentage of HH with vulnerable groups/ PSN, Cordaid will ensure inclusion of these groups in the assistance through an inclusive approach securing their meaningful participation. As per Cordaid standards, gender, protection and COVID-19 are mainstreamed.CORDAIDCORDAIDAfghanistan Humanitarian FundHameed Attaiy Programmes Director+93 786 17 98 17Hameed.Attaiy@cordaid.orgSadruddin MoradiFinance Controller 0791611632 Sadruddin.moradi@cordaid.orgMargriet Verhoeven Humanitarian Aid Advisor 0031615630905Margriet.Verhoeven@cordaid.org Humanitarian AidProgramme ManagerAbdur.Rauf@cordaid.orgAbdur RaufGhor34.09957760 64.90595500Uruzgan32.92712870 66.14152630Emergency Shelter and NFI408788.46121198.59529987.05Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCORDAID423989.64Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCORDAID80229.52Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCORDAIDXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA2/ESNFI/INGO/18691United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe ICCT Spring Disaster Contingency Plan (dated March 2021) details a complex set of needs among vulnerable populations. Intensifying conflict, the onset of drought in various parts of the country, and the Covid-19 pandemic have led to widespread illness and mortality, a deep economic recession, and starkly reduced income opportunities in these provinces, which in turn has depleted productive assets and reduced communities’ capacity to cope with shocks. Afghanaid’s recent needs assessment (attached as an annex) found that the vast majority of households in both provinces are unable to cover their basic needs and require urgent assistance. In line with ESNFI cluster priorities detailed in the Spring Contingency Plan, Afghanaid proposes to provide crucial shelter and NFI assistance to 1700 IDP households in Ferozkoh, Ghor, and 250 IDP households in Aybak, Samangan, both of which are prioritized under the contingency plan. Based on communities’ preferences and a recent market assessment, Afghanaid proposes cash as the modality for the shelter assistance, and in-kind NFI kits as the modality for NFI assistance. The participant selection criteria will follow the priorities of the Spring Contingency Plan, focusing specifically on displaced households, as well as other vulnerability criteria (e.g. women-headed households and people with disabilities) which will be agreed on by the participant selection committee detailed below. In Ghor, the intervention will provide 1700 IDP households in Ferozkoh with a ESNFI cluster standard NFI kit with a value of US$105 per household, and 700 of these households will also receive cash for shelter assistance totaling US$225 per household covering three months of rent as well as any minor repairs required. In Samangan, Afghanaid will provide 250 IDP households in Aybak with cash for shelter worth US$225 per household, which will cover three months of rent. Afghanaid will establish participant selection and distribution committees including representatives from local communities, such as the leaders of Community Development Councils (CDCs) and District Development Assemblies (DDAs), representatives of the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) and the Deportment of Refugees and Repatriations (DoRR), and Afghanaid. Participants will be selected according to ESNFI vulnerability criteria to ensure the IDP households most acutely in need are targeted, including women-headed households and households with a large number of dependent children. The project team will work with Etisalat’s established mHawala service in both provinces to distribute the cash for shelter from central distribution points in two equal tranches. Participants with limited mobility will be brought to the distribution point or receive the assistance at home. Afghanaid is well placed to implement this project, with over 19 years of continuous presence in both provinces, current operations in both target districts and excellent access and strong relationships with communities as well as district and provincial authorities. Afghanaid has extensive experience in humanitarian programming, with current and recent humanitarian assistance projects in multiple provinces including Ghor and Samangan, funded by AHF, WFP, FAO, and ECHO. The projects include emergency food, livelihoods, winterization, and shelter assistance, using both in-kind and cash modalities. This intervention will provide 13,650 displaced men, women, boys and girls with crucial shelter and NFI assistance, helping target households meet their basic needs, reducing illness and mortality, and increasing participants’ capacity to rebuild their livelihoods by avoiding the sale of productive assets so that they are more resilient against future shocks.AFGHANAIDAFGHANAIDAfghanistan Humanitarian FundJohannes JansenProgramme Development Officer+93728630493jjansen@afghanaid.org.ukNajibullah NamiqGrants and Partnership Development Manager+93799733944najeebullah@afghanaid.org.ukAyub KhanDeputy Director of Finance Administration+93790897166akhan@afghanaid.org.ukZodiac Maslin-HahnDirector of Programme Development+442035596647zmhahn@afghanaid.org.ukGhor34.09957760 64.90595500Samangan35.98072960 67.57085360Emergency Shelter and NFI555299.89555299.89Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID444239.91Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID111059.98Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAIDXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA2/ESNFI/INGO/18701United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan still remains one of the world’s most complex humanitarian emergencies, driven by escalating conflict and natural disasters. Given the past trends and indications of intensifying conflict, half of this year’s projected conflict-related internal displacement (250,000 people) is anticipated to take place between March and June due to escalating conflict. These people will require NFI and shelter support. Over 230,000 undocumented migrants and refugee returnees are expected to cross back into Afghanistan and will require humanitarian assistance. The risk of additional drought-driven displacement remains high, and will depend on the severity of weather-induced conditions. More than 120,000 people are anticipated to be affected by spring storms and flash-floods, resulting in damage to shelters and livelihoods, and posing risk to life. The project is designed to support the needs of IDPs and vulnerable host communities affected by conflicts and natural disasters in the target districts (Maimana, Pashtoon Kot and Almar) of Faryab province. According to averaged Household Emergency Assessment Tool (HEAT) assessments in 2020, 64% of immediately shock-affected households reported living in makeshift shelters (including both mud houses and tents). DAARTT need assessment further revealed that 66% of the people were displaced, due to conflicts, 14% due to natural disaster and 20% were returnees from Iran and Pakistan. Moreover, 41% of the houses are partially destroyed, 27% are fully destroyed and 32% are unharmed. In line with ES/NFI Cluster priorities as detailed in the Allocation Strategy paper, DAARTT under this action will respond to the needs identified under the AHF 2nd 2021 Reserve Allocation strategy with the purpose to provide life-saving assistance to IDPs, returnees and vulnerable host communities in the priority provinces Faryab, identified by the ES/NFI Cluster. Under this action, DAARTT will cover the needs of 3212 families (22484 individuals) in the three districts (Maimana, Pashtoon Kot and Almar) districts of Faryab Province through provision of Complete NFI packages (2800 families) @USD 105 and cash for rent @USD 75 * 3 months (412 families) for displaced and natural disaster affected households. DAARTT through its other emergency/humanitarian funded project supported by Danish People Aid (DPA) will assist a total of 285 families (1995 individuals) through provision of Cash for Rent @USD 225. These 285 families will be supported in Pakhtoon Kot district of Faryab Province A beneficiary selection and distribution committee will be established which will include representatives from local communities (e.g. CDC heads), Government departments (e.g. ANDMA, ARCS and DoRR) and DAARTT staff. Beneficiaries will be selected according to ESNFI vulnerability criteria to ensure the poorest and most vulnerable are targeted, including displaced people, women-headed households, widows, orphaned families, elderly, people with a disability and families with a large number of dependent children. The cash for rent will enable selected HHs to improve their immediate living conditions either through rental assistance which is also following the CERF allocation providing life-saving shelter assistance to people affected by conflict, drought and COVID-19 in the target areas of Faryab Province. Cash is used as markets (incl. rental market) are functional and materials are locally available. Prioritization is based on vulnerability and need for assistance. As there is a large percentage of HH with vulnerable groups/ PSN, DAARTT will ensure inclusion of these groups in the assistance through an inclusive approach securing their meaningful participation.

Following these last years’ observations and the perspectives for Spring 2021, it appears that flash floods could affect up to 120,000 HHs. 2019 with large-scale floods showed the critical impact of climate on population displacement (Humanitarian Needs Overview 2021) and shelter destruction. This year, La Niña could also trigger an important drought that, as the one of 2018, would conduct to important population displacements. It could also decrease the wheat production up to 27% (Humanitarian Response Plan 2021). In addition, the number of individuals displaced due to conflict might keep on increasing to up to 250,000 individuals, as the year 2021 is a milestone year for the Peace process in the country (HRP 2021). These displacements following climatic or conflict-related shocks imply challenges, even more significant for vulnerable individuals such as women, children, elderlies or people with disabilities (HNO 2021). . As per the Spring contingency plan, all proposed provinces of intervention are classified amongst the 10 high priority provinces in terms of needs. They are all exposed to floods, drought and conflicts that already led to population displacement in the past. According to the UNHC projection, floods could affect up to 25,200 individuals (3,600 HHs) in the North and 23,000 (3, 000 HHs) in the West region. ACTED is uniquely positioned to provide seasonal ESNFI support to recently shock-affected populations in Faryab, Ghor, Samangan and Takhar provinces. It has been operating in Faryab since 1999, in Takhar since 1998, Samangan since 2017 and is currently implementing an Emergency Response Mechanism in Ghor. Using the data from the summary needs assessment based on HNO 2021, HRP 2021 and Whole of Afghanistan Assessment for 2020 (WOAA) and balanced with the ESNFI cluster’s priorities, ACTED proposes to target both displaced and host communities’ households living in damaged, destroyed or makeshift shelters. ACTED will assess and select the beneficiaries following a needs and status-based targeting criteria and aims at targeting 74% of disaster affected households (850 HHs totaling 5,950 beneficiaries) and 26% of conflict affected HHs (300 HHs totaling 2,100 beneficiaries). In total, ACTED is targeting 850 HHs with cash for rent and cash for NFI in the selected provinces of intervention: 304 HHs in Faryab, 204 in each of Samangan and Ghor provinces and 138 HHs Takhar province. Besides, ACTED is targetting 300 HHs with a toolkit and cash for repair : 93 HHs in Faryab and 69 HHs in each of Ghor, Samanghan and Takhar provinces. Through the AHF 2nd Reserve Allocation, ACTED will aim to provide assistance to 1,150 natural disaster-affected households and conflict-affected households by providing assistance to both people in their places of origins - with cash for repair and toolkit for repair when their household is moderately to severely damaged, and to displaced people through the supply of NFI assistance and cash-for-rent assistance. ACTED will use the opportunity of community mobilization and outreach to disseminate key messages on COVID-19 and on basic mitigation measures. ACTED’s staff is trained and has experience on awareness raising and notably on how to tackle misinformation about COVID-19 and the vaccine. ACTED long-standing presence in the districts of intervention and the fact that the staff is hired as much as possible from the very same area of intervention are two key elements that will help tailor the message to the communities.

Concern With over two decades of strong physical operational presence in the Northeast Region of Takhar, Badakhshan and Kunduz provinces aims to address immediate shelter and NFI needs of the affected population − in an effort to save lives, improve people’s wellbeing, and reduce the use of negative coping mechanisms. The Department of Refugees and Repatriation (DoRR) has provided preliminary data on the unmet needs in the province that guided Concern’s response to emergency shelter and NFI needs, Afghanistan Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2018-2021 and Concern’s Standard HEAT Assessment (October 2020 has pointed out continued need of emergency shelter and NFI assistance. Concern is prioritizing the multi-cluster assistance of NFI items for 2,500 displaced and acutely vulnerable families living in Yaftal-e-Sufla, Shahr-e-Buzurg, Kohistan and Jorm, Warduj districts of Badakhshan and potential expansion to Takhar, which has been listed as a highly-impacted priority province for the spring disaster response. Concern Worldwide is prepared to scale up its existing NFI and shelter capacity to assist more conflict- and flood-affected households through the provision of in-kind household NFI ($105) for displaced families who will be identified through the joint inter-agency assessment. Through this funding, Concern will able to reach 200 most vulnerable host and returnee households- identified by DoRR and ANDMA in Jorm, Warduj and Yaftal-e-Sufla districts of Badakhshan through the provision of in-kind Emergency shelter toolkits ($50 value) alongside with shelter upgrade or repair support via two conditional cash instalments (USD 150 per instalment totaling $300). In consideration with the recommendation from Concern’s mitigating risks of Gender-Based Violence in Cash Based Intervention assessment, the proposed project will consider the specific needs of female, people with disability and elder headed households through contracting skill and unskilled labor works To address protection concerns resulting from exacerbated existing needs of vulnerable women, Concern Worldwide will provide dignity kits (in-kind, valued at $28) consisting of female hygiene and sanitary items to 200 female-headed host, displaced and returnee households and acutely vulnerable women receiving ESNFI support. Concern Worldwide will provide a combined package of in-kind emergency Shelter Toolkits alongside with conditional cash assistance to respond to urgent shelter needs of conflict-affected households residing in partially damaged shelters. The materials of shelters whose houses are partially damaged or destroyed are from mud and other locally available materials that most households could not repair due to insufficient financial resources. The modality of cash assistance for emergency shelter materials were determined based on the cash feasibility assessment conducted with the community representative and traders of the targeted districts. In the targeted four districts, the construction materials are available in the village where female-headed households and people with disability could easily and safely access. Based on the rapid market assessment conducted on availability, access and functionality of the shelter repair construction materials, the cash-based assistance is more feasible while providing in-kind shelter toolkits to ensure access to quality materials.Concern WorldwideConcern WorldwideAfghanistan Humanitarian FundGraham DavisonCountry Director+93799489507graham.davison@concern.netMartha MedhanieProgram Director+93796797655 martha.medhanie@concern.netNurul Hoque Sikder Country Finance Manager +93796 627 524 nurul.sikder@concern.netBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Emergency Shelter and NFI358492.88131507.44490000.32Afghanistan Humanitarian FundConcern Worldwide392000.26Afghanistan Humanitarian FundConcern Worldwide56936.19Afghanistan Humanitarian FundConcern Worldwide943.84Concern WorldwideUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA2/ESNFI/INGO/18766United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency assistance to 1,445 conflict and natural disaster affected households (10,115 individuals) in Kandahar, Herat, Farah, and Wardak through shelter support through a cash modality (cash for rent and cash for shelter), complementing and closely coordinated with wider multi-sector emergency responses done by DRC and partners, including integration with proposed protection activities under AHF 2RA.

The strategic objectives of the HRP focus on "lives are saved in the areas of highest needs." The multiple challenges facing the people of Afghanistan in spring 2021, including La Niña-induced climatic anomalies, intensifying conflict, new and protracted internal displacement, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, are exacerbating the pre-existing needs and vulnerabilities of millions of Afghans already dealing with the consequences of 40 years of war The main purpose of the Afghanistan Spring Disaster Contingency Plan 2021 in response to potential drought and other emergencies is to address intersectoral potential needs holistically and calls for an integrated response with ES-NFI, FSAC, Nutrition, Education, Protection, Health, and WASH to mitigate the multiple and overlapping challenges facing the people of Afghanistan as spring approaches – including a potential La Niña-driven drought,1 intensifying conflict, and ongoing COVID-19 challenges. The Spring Disaster Contingency Plan 2021 (SDCP), a total of 18.4 million is in need, 7.4 million people are planned to reach. In the Spring Disaster Contingency Plan 2021, 2 million people in need of the ES-NFI Cluster and planned to reach 216,000 people with a total funding requirement of US$16.6 Million. The ES-NFI under the 2nd reserved allocation received US$ 5 million to cover 25 provinces in high, medium, and low priority provinces. Repairing shelters damaged due to flash floods is one of the activities from which ORD intends to provide shelter self-construction/repair toolkits. ORD intends to provide shelter damaged repair assistance through shelter self-construction/repair toolkits in Paktika province, which is in the 25 priority provinces for the SDCP 2021. ORD has had a strong presence since 2018 and has delivered emergency responses. Currently, ORD is delivering cash assistance for averting famine and strengthen emergency livelihoods under the UN- FAO. The AHF's 2nd Reserved Allocation 2021 fund will scale up and fill the ORD's current response gap, be holistic and become a multi-cluster response to the vulnerable population due to potential flash flooding in Paktika province. ORD will ensure that the most vulnerable people in need are among the affected population groups prioritized for this action, with 4800 HHs (33,600 individuals) following ES-NFI cluster standards for natural disaster-affected people to respond to their shelter repair needs. Moreover, the project beneficiary selection and distribution will be carried out as: A. Beneficiary selection: this will be carried out using certain structured questionnaire/scorecard tools which are usually being shared by the ES-NFI cluster for each modality. in case it was not available, ORD will develop a questionnaire and will coordinate it with the cluster and after their approval, we will use that tools for assessment and beneficiary selection. B. Distribution: ORD will provide a unique identification card to each eligible recipient and in order to prevent any delay and problems in distribution we will authorize an alternative person for receiving the assistance. Also, we have brought some modifications in the target percentage of target groups according to the coordination with the local government (host community 70%, 20% IDPs, and 10% returnees). Through this response, we are covering both the categories (affected people and the people at risk of flooding).

As initially planned, 1500 affected households will receive the “Standard NFI Package” and “Standard Shelter Repair Toolkit”, 715 affected households will only receive the “Standard Shelter Repair Toolkit” and 435 affected households will only receive “300 USD as Cash for Shelter Repair/Upgrade” as per actual needs on the ground, and vulnerability criteria. The total packages breakdown to 1500 NFI Kits, 2215 Shelter Repair Toolkits and 435 units of Cash for Shelter Repair/Upgrade. Considering the needs and defined assumptions, the project will seek to target 65% of natural disaster affected population and 35% conflict affected population which includes displaced and non-displaced. 75% of the assistance will be prepositioned for Daykundi and 25% for Bamyan with no specific targets for the target districts to ensure we can reach the most vulnerable and can cover the major gaps. The project will be implemented through our sub-offices in Center of Bamyan and Center of Daykundi province, and we will also utilized our field offices in Khedir, Sang-e-Takht and Eshtarly districts of Daykundi. Our provincial teams will actively participate in OCTs coordinated by OCHA at provincial level, joint emergency assessments and response meetings to ensure we can timely deliver our assistance to recommended households. We will closely work with OCHA, IOM, WFP, UNHCR, INGOs/NNGOs, ANDMA, DoRRs and other stakeholders to be part of the emergency response coordination team and to play a complementary role in the overall humanitarian response at regional and provincial levels. The cluster recommended tools will be used for data collection, analysis and reporting while we will put additional tools to collect more segregated data as per Age, Gender and Diversity (AGD) approach. Women headed households, child headed households, elderly headed households, survivors of GBVand other protection incidents will be prioritized for the assistance if the needs were higher than the available resources. We will closely work with government line departments, beneficiary representatives and other stakeholders to identify and select our distribution points in both target provinces, which shall be safe and accessible for men, women, children, elderly and persons with disability with enough facilitation in place. The COVID-19 protocols will be strictly applied throughout the implementation process to ensure safety of our staff, beneficiaries and stakeholders. Project visibility, reporting to cluster, AHF and government will be properly managed as per the requirements of each party. We will use the services of AWAAZ Afghanistan and our internal hotline number to register the complaints, and will ensure that the target communities receive our complaint leaflets during the assessments and distribution. With the support of OCT members, we will form a joint distribution committee to ensure the assistance are delivered to the target beneficiaries in a transparent and accountable manner. The cash assistance will be delivered to the beneficiaries by contracted FSP in the presence of joint distribution committee members while the in-kind assistance will be distributed by our field team through selected distribution points. Our MampE and Project Control units will regularly monitor, evaluate and verify the project activities to improve the quality of our work, exercising a comprehensive lessons learned, and to address compliance.

The potential La Niña-driven drought, intensifying conflict, and ongoing COVID-19 challenges are anticipated to trigger increased number of displacements and exacerbate the needs of thousands of households. Approximately 250,000 people are projected to be displaced due to conflict from March to June, which represents 50 per cent of those projected for all of 2021. Furthermore, it is estimated that some 120,000 people are likely to be affected primarily by flash/storm related flooding. Such situation is likely to lead to an overwhelming number of people in need of emergency shelter – an estimated two million people. Considering this context, the Afghanistan Inter-Cluster Coordination Team (ICCT) ranked the above four provinces as areas with the highest risk based on a range of weighted indicators from precipitation, household debts to access to health services. In preparation for potential displacement and heightened needs and in conjunction with the Cluster assessments, UNHCR intends to strengthen preparedness and delivery of emergency shelter assistance in high-risk locations that may host people on the move. UNHCR is part of the UN interagency joint assessment team (JAT) and in Kandahar the JAT has carried out a couple of needs assessments in IDP populated areas in the region. Since January 2021 the following displacements have been reported - in Kandahar, 25,172 persons have been displaced in Kunduz, 10,444 in Balkh 7,280 and in Takhar 11,018 persons have been assessed and verified as displaced. UNHCR has provided emergency tents to 17,378 persons in Kandahar and 924 persons in Balkh. Other relief items including NFIs, sanitary and hygiene kits to some 120,000 displaced persons. UNHCR’s continuous assessments and protection monitoring indicate present and foreseen shelter needs in the four provinces. The level of needs for tents in Kandahar is for 1,000 households (7,000 individuals) as per the assessment findings. In Kunduz and Takhar no inter-agency assessments has been conducted yet. However, an estimated 150 IDP families (1,050 individuals) have moved back to their places of origin in Gojra Takhar and living with no shelter at the moment. A JAT will soon be conducted for these clients, however UNHCR estimates that 150 tents are urgently needed. Given foreseen emergencies, prepositioning of tents will be undertaken for all four project locations.

Considering below average snowfalls and winter precipitations, and high temperatures associated with a La Niña weather event, drought-like conditions are likely to have a significant impact over spring cultivations, causing a production deficit and increasing vulnerabilities. Based on a range of weighted indicators, the province has been classified with a high level of risk of drought (2.45 score) among 25 most affected provinces in Afghanistan with 60% of the population projected to be in IPC 3+ during the period June-November 2021. Additionally, emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC 4) were recorded in the province, especially in rural areas, during the post-harvest analysis of August 2020 and March 2021. Small-holder farmers have long seen their food stocks exhausted after the long winter, and are already faced with the necessity of adopting negative coping strategies. Thus, CG through its sub-IPs OHW, RCDC, CAWC propose to provide unconditional and unrestricted cash assistance to 2,629 households (18,400 individuals) in Sharestan, Miramor and Ashtarlay districts of Daykundi province, so to allow project participants to cover their basic food needs. Partners have envisaged to provide spring assistance to vulnerable people classified in IPC 3+ by the recent IPC Analysis, so to prevent displacement in Daykundi rural districts, in line with the Spring Disaster Contingency Plan – March 2021 priorities and cluster standardized assistance package. In line with FSAC priorities, CG and its three sub-implementing partners OHW, RCDC and CAWC propose to provide 900 HHs (6,300 individuals) in Sharestan, 914 HHs (6,400 individuals) in Miramor and 815 HHs (5,700 individuals) in Ashtarlay with in-cash assistance (value of 180USD distributed for the equivalent local currency in AFN at project start) aimed at meeting household food needs for a duration of 4 months, as per cluster standards. The cash assistance will be distributed in two instalments along a period of 3 months. Cash assistance has been envisaged as unconditional and unrestricted. The decision has been based on results from partners needs assessment and identification of food as the main household priority. Moreover, cash has been identified by target populations as the preferred assistance modality and markets have been assessed as accessible and safe for both males and females. Findings from winterization assistance PDM among the same communities point out how distribution in instalments is the preferred modality, allowing households to plan for their expenditures. Furthermore, cash assistance will be carried out through the Hawala system, identified as the most viable and widely spread solution by partners’ Feasibility Study. The present response priorities are in line with partners’ past experience and capability, and represent a scale up of relief and winterization emergency activities in the target area. Partners’ recent interventions put an emphasis on livelihood enhancement with a focus on natural resources utilization, youth mobilization, WASH and shelter repairs and women empowerment fostering income generating activities. Thus, the action aims at enlarging partners’ reach by supporting vulnerable households in dire food insecurity with cash assistance.

Ongoing conflict coupled with COVID-19 high food prices and rampant unemployment resulted in loss or disruption of livelihoods, and is considered a key driver of acute food insecurity for nearly 14.1 million people in Afghanistan-one third of all Afghans are experiencing high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC analysis, May 2021). In parallel, the low winter rainfall and high temperature coupled with La Nina weather phenomenon have reduced water access during the spring and summer agricultural seasons with a likely impact on below average wheat production (IPC analysis, May amp HNO 2021). According to the strategic situation report of OCHA published on February 2021, Afghanistan now has the second highest number of people in crisis or emergency food insecurity (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification - IPC 3+) in the world. In response to this effect, Afghanistan Inter-Cluster Coordination Team has developed a Spring Disaster Contingency Plan (2021) that outlined the potential risks, priority provinces and interventions to address the seasonal risks. While food needs are widespread across Afghanistan, Badakhshan is one of the four provinces which are classified in IPC 4 of with the second highest numbers of people (316,226) classified under phase 4 of emergency food insecurity (IPC analysis, May amp HNO 2021) and among the first prioritized province in the ICCT Spring Disaster Contingency Plan 2021. In response to an anticipated high rate of asset depletion associated to cover food consumption gaps, Concern Worldwide is proposing emergency food assistance for seasonally affected 2,630 host populations falling under IPC Phase 4, whom are facing the prolonged consequences of multiple shocks including protracted conflict, drought and the Coronavirus pandemic. Guided by newly conducted market assessments, Concern will respond to emergency food needs in Badakhshan Province via in-kind assistance to ensure the most effective and appropriate modality per target area. Given the high number of vulnerable households coupled by limited humanitarian resources, beneficiary selection will be based on a FSAC vulnerability criteria that prioritizes households headed by women, the elderly, and children the chronically ill people with disabilities (PwD) and pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Hence, Concern will provide half food basket of in-kind for four months for 2630 HHs to provide emergency life-saving food assistance to people in Yaftal-e-Sufla, Yawan and Shahr-e-Buzurg district classified in IPC Phase 4 areas. The in-kind modality has been identified based on the rapid market and assistance modality assessment that indicated more limitations of market access for female, people with disability and elderly headed households. In addition, the cost of minimum food basket has indicated 17 percent increase than the last four-year average cost (Famine Early Warning System Network, February 2021) which puts a risk of increased price compared to procuring in bulk. Hence, Concern will ensure the accessibility of and availability of food to acutely vulnerable families in the three target districts. During the implementation, Concern will coordinate with WFP and MRRD to reach to the underserved communities of the targeted districts. With over two decades of operational presence in the Northeast Region, Concern is incredibly well positioned to provide trusted, rapid humanitarian assistance that will address immediate food needs in efforts to save lives, improve people’s wellbeing, and reduce the use of negative coping mechanisms.Concern WorldwideConcern WorldwideAfghanistan Humanitarian FundMartha MedhanieProgram Director+93796797655 martha.medhanie@concern.netGraham DavisonCountry Director+93799489507graham.davison@concern.netNurul Hoque Sikder Country Finance Manager +93796 627 524 nurul.sikder@concern.netBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Food Security498965.21200614.88699580.09Afghanistan Humanitarian FundConcern Worldwide559664.07Afghanistan Humanitarian FundConcern Worldwide132861.96Afghanistan Humanitarian FundConcern Worldwide696.73Concern WorldwideUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA2/FSAC/NGO/18774United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, published in April 2021, shows that over 14 million people (35 percent of the population) face acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or worse) between March and May 2021, including 4.2 million people facing emergency levels of food insecurity and requiring immediate assistance. Ghor province was classified in emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC Phase 4). Diminished participation during the La Nina period has triggered a water scarcity crisis. For many impacted communities, it has become a challenge to acquire enough water for drinking, hygiene and food production (agriculture and livestock), and low levels of participation and dry spell is anticipated to further affect more population up to November 2021. The 2021 HRP indicates that food prices are about 10-20% higher compared to the 5-year average, while the purchasing power of casual laborers and pastoralists has deteriorated almost 19% and 20% respectively over the last year. Overall, high levels of poverty and food insecurity are fuelling the adoption of negative coping mechanisms, presenting serious dangers to vulnerable people including elevated risks of GBV, early marriage, child labor, begging and recruitment by armed groups and additional debt accumulation. Without immediate, comprehensive anticipatory action, the already dire food insecurity and protection situation will be exacerbated by the consequences of the La Niña effect. This also applies in Ghor province. Through the proposed project, AWRO will provide unconditional cash assistance to 1,319 households (9,235 individuals) in Dolayna district of Ghor province to households in ‘crisis’ (IPC Phase 3) and ‘emergency’ (IPC Phase 4) food insecurity and those anticipated to be affected by flood, dry spell and other risks. Based on the cluster standards and the allocation strategy paper, every eligible HH will receive USD 180 (equivalent AFN amount based on the exchange rate of the particular period). 1. Dolayna district 1,319 multiple shock-affected Families (1985 Men, 2494 Women, 2245 Boys and 2511 Girls) Will receive US$ 180 for four months food assistance (Half package of FSAC Standard food basket of family 90 US$/month x 2 = US$ 180). AWRO will use the local Tellers’ services/Money Service Providers (Hawala/MSP) system based on CVWG response criteria as there are MSPs available in Ghor. The MSPs are the most available and easy to access to beneficiaries. AWRO already has agreement with an MSP to provide service in the target province. The availability of MSPs is ensured and physically checked. The cash will be distributed in AFN currency. To ensure transparency, AWRO will establish a committee comprised of four representatives from respective government institutions and village head. The committee will be present at every stage of the project activities related to beneficiary selection and cash distribution, and will monitor and approve related documents accordingly. In addition, a village head will also be present during the stages. Beneficiaries will be selected as per the criteria set by the FSAC cluster through a house-to-house independent assessment/survey done by AWRO. This assignment will not negatively affect the market, prices, transactions and or any other financial segments. Instead, it would be an added value and multiplier to inject cash into the market. This will make sure that we take account of the “Do No Harm” policy. In addition to the cash distribution, AWRO will provide awareness on COVID-19. Protection awareness-raising sessions will take place at the distribution site.

Afghanistan’s 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) shows escalating suffering and hunger, with 18.4 million people in need of humanitarian assistance and Afghanistan as having the second highest number of people in emergency food insecurity in the world (IPC Phase 4). The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, published in April 2021, shows that over 14 million people (35 percent of the population) face acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or worse) between March and May 2021, including 4.2 million people facing emergency levels of food insecurity and requiring immediate assistance. Targeted provinces under this contribution are among the 10 high priority provinces targeted under the Afghanistan Spring Disaster Contingency Plan [1]. The 2021 IPC analysis shows that Faryab and Ghor provinces face emergency levels of acute food-insecurity (IPC Phase 4), with 55 percent of households in both provinces experiencing poor levels of food consumption and over 80 percent of households experiencing either poor or borderline food consumption [2]. In addition, 93 percent of households in Ghor and 57 percent of households in Faryab have to resort to emergency or crisis livelihood coping strategies such as the sale of productive assets and borrowing money to buy food [3]. The drought conditions driven by La Niña, lingering socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 and escalating levels of conflict are further compounding the food security situation of a population which was already on the brink of a hunger crisis. In response to these needs, WFP aims to use this funding to provide unconditional, nutrition-sensitive in-kind food assistance to acutely food-insecure people in five districts in Faryab and Ghor provinces. Both provinces have been classified as facing IPC Phase 4 levels of acute food insecurity. WFP plans to provide a total of 1,976 MT worth of emergency in-kind assistance to 57,594 acutely food-insecure people (8,228 households) in Shirin Tagab, Khwaja Sabzposh, Almarin districts in Faryab province, and Taywara and Sagher districts in Ghor province. Targeted households will receive a monthly in-kind nutritionally balanced food basket comprised of 46kg of fortified wheat flour, 4.55kg of fortified vegetable oil, 8.5kg of pulses, and 1kg of iodized salt. Households will receive in-kind food assistance for four months in two cycles of two months each within the project implementation period. WFP’s in-kind assistance is aligned with the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster’s (FSAC) recommended guidelines on humanitarian response packages. WFP aims to prevent people facing emergency levels of acute food insecurity from falling below acceptable levels of food security, bridge critical food gaps whilst increasing food consumption levels, as well as prevent vulnerable households from having to resort to negative coping strategies that would further compound their vulnerability to food insecurity. Food assistance will be provided with full consideration of COVID-19 preventive measures.World Food ProgrammeWorld Food ProgrammeAFGHANAIDShelter for Life InternationalWorld Vision InternationalCHAAfghanistan Humanitarian FundCecilia GarzonHead of Programme0093-70-600-48-57cecilia.garzon@wfp.orgFaryab36.07956130 64.90595500Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Food Security1750280.001750280.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Food Programme1750280.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Food ProgrammeXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA2/H/INGO/18687United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsBadghis is one of the hard to reach and remote provinces located in the western region of Afghanistan. The province is included in the list of 25 high risks provinces which will more likely be worst affected by the dry spell as identified in the multi-sectoral need analysis and included in the Humanitarian Response for Spring disaster contingency plan. Being one of the least developed province with poor infrastructures, people have to travel mostly through difficult roads and mine fields. As the conflict continue and fighting between the government forces and AOGs intensifies, collateral damage and injuries of people caught in the crossfire are unavoidable and the demand for trauma care have increased especially in areas where there are constant fighting. More than two third of the province (except central towns in the districts) are under control of Taliban. Assessment data indicates the early effects of dry spell among the local population is already felt with most of them reportedly have taken loans to buy food and other basic needs. As the water crisis unfolds, water availability for livestock and agriculture, as well as for drinking and hygiene will be a challenge for the affected communities. The affected population may need to walk longer distance to reach water sources that are available and may need to expend additional resources to compensate for limited local water availability and/ or poor water quality. Those who cannot afford to purchase water through private water trucks may de-prioritise water for sanitation and hygiene, which in turn will increase risk of infectious and waterborne diseases, including COVID-19 and Acute Watery Diarrhea. At the same time, limited existing or accessible healthcare is a high risk in the affected provinces. Scale-up of mobile health teams and health surveillance to deal with the health implications of the likely drought, disease and malnutrition in these locations will be important and the need will increase in the event of displacement. The proposed project will cover catchment population of 52,152 with limited or no access to primary health and trauma care in the 5 targeted districts. Difficult terrain, poor infrastructure and the distance people need to walk to reach the health facilities are some of the constraints which makes it very difficult for people to access basic health services. High number of casualties including civilian casualties resulted from frequent security incidences (conflicts, road side bombs and air strikes) has been reported from the targeted locations. Johanniter International Assistance (JUH) amp Medical Management amp Research Courses for Afghanistan (MMRCA) through this project, aims to improve access and utilisation of basic primary health care services, trauma care and psychosocial support by the affected population through the following:1.Establishment, equipping and staffing of 4 FATPs in Bala Murghab, Moqor, Qadis amp Abkamari districts 2.Provision of First Aid Trauma Care to people injured in the conflict 3.Provision of psychological first aid and counselling to patients showing symptoms of psychological trauma and other psychosocial problems 4.Provision of emergency primary health services to the population living in remote amp underserved villages through establishment of two MHTs in Bala Murghab amp Moqor. MHT in Moqor will also extend health services to population living in remote areas of Qadis amp Jawand districts. 5.Integration of COVID 19 response such as screening, contact tracing and referral in the package of services to be provided by the Mobile Health Team 6.Identification, Management and referrals of GBV survivors 7.Community Awareness raising on prevention amp transmission of COVID 19 infections, proper hygiene practices amp prevention of GBV. 8. Nutrition screening, referral of MAM and SAM amp orientation of PLW on breastfeeding amp Infant amp Young Children Feeding.. Project duration is 6 months with 1 month inception period.

Further to that, the not yet officially declared drought will put additional pressure on already strained resources, affecting individuals’ access to livelihoods and basic services such as WASH and health services, worsening people’s living conditions including their levels of physical and mental health. In this context of limited resources, Afghan healthcare prioritises the response to physical disease and needs, whilst the demand for mental support remains highly unmet: referral to PSS service providers, as well as community-based support are scarce countrywide. With poor sanitation and hygiene practices, conflict and disaster-affected populations are at greater risk of WASH-related morbidity and mortality. Further to that, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to threaten the lives of Afghan people: under-testing, stigma, low vaccination turn-out and limited enforcement of preventative hygiene and social distancing measures are further exposing the population to the virus, increasing their levels of mental stress, whilst putting additional pressure on an overstretched healthcare system. In this context, HI seeks to support conflict and drought-affected highly vulnerable IDPs, returnees and host communities through the provision of emergency static and mobile support across Herat, Nimroz and Kandahar provinces, as well as by providing direct support to identified health facilities in target areas. This action ultimately aims to reduce the vulnerability to the health consequences of the drought, whilst enhancing communities’ positive coping mechanisms. It will do so by 1) Providing psychosocial support (PSS) services and psychosocial first aid (PFA) capacity building to communities whose levels of stress will intensify as a consequence of the drought. This will be done through both in-person (mobile and static teams) and remote support (helpline) to ensure broader outreach and follow-up of identified patients. In addition, HI will distribute tailored PSS kits to highly vulnerable identified cases which will enhance PSS provided during in-person sessions. 2) Scaling up COVID-19 risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) to enhance clear and consistent messaging through stakeholders’ and community representatives support and use of accessible IEC materials 3) Increasing hygiene awareness in order to reduce highly vulnerable individuals and families’ exposure to COVID-19 through the provision of hygiene education and kits 4) Increasing health facilities’ capacity to respond to scaled-up healthcare needs by training identified health facilities’ staff in PFA and by supplying medical equipment to increase their capacity to respond without further straining existing resources. A total of six gender balanced teams will support communities across Dand and Daman districts (Kandahar province), Zaranj district (Nimroz province) and Injil and Guzara districts (Herat province), where HI will closely coordinate with partners on the ground to ensure the provision of comprehensive services through referral mechanism. Field teams will be supported by a project officer and data base officers within each base. The action will target highly vulnerable individuals within at-risk populations who are often invisible to mainstream relief organisations due to the specificity of their needs – including people with disabilities, people experiencing psychosocial distress or mental health issues, etc. In addition, HI will support the newly-established Disability Inclusion Working Group (DIWG) by co-leading the WG and coordinating inter-cluster actions aimed at increasing visibility of and advocacy for the inclusion of people with disabilities.

Required IEC and health promotion materials will be distributed among the targeted population (IDPs and marginalized communities) by the project staff at the service delivery points. Simultaneously, functional referral mechanisms among the CHWs-CHS-MHT and nearest health facilities will be established. SAF will also formulate close coordination with authorities of the provincial hospital in the province by signing MOUs with them. As part of this assignment SAF will consider the minimum gender marker code (1) within the proposed projects. SAF will ensure that gender equality and gender awareness activities are mainstreamed within the scope of project. Accordingly, the women, men, boys and girls of all ages will benefit equally from the proposed interventions. A total of 82,000 individuals in the host communities and 5900 IDPs will directly benefit from health cluster of the project. However, the entire population of 4 province will benefit from the Health cluster of project.

IOM will also seek to recruit vaccinators in close partnership with WHO and MoPH to ensure more equitable access to COVID-19 vaccinations, and social mobilizers to lead on associated Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) awareness raising campaigns for mobile populations, including returnees, IDPs, nomads (kuchis) and underserved host communities, which presently have fallen far behind settled urban populations despite mobility acting as a clear vector for transmission and their inclusive in the National Vaccination Programme as a priority grouping. In close coordination with the Provincial Public Health Directorates, the mobile health teams will be deployed in the affected districts of Herat, Nimroz, Kandahar, and Nangarhar provinces. To improve the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine and to mitigate vaccine related hesitancy, IOM will deploy vaccinators cum social mobilizers in hard-to-reach districts as identified by IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM). Overall health services through this project will benefit 225,000 persons in the targeted districts/provinces. IOM will reach approximately 25,000 patients with basic consultations and treatment. Through RCCE activities, approximately 200,000 persons will be reached. IOM also intends to extend vaccinations to mobile populations, however this will depend on the reception of vaccines which are constrained by overall availability in country and other contextual factors.

The HNI-TPO is a Netherland-based international organization working in Afghanistan since 1994 in health, nutrition, MHPSS, communicable disease control, GBV, humanitarian services, capacity building, and research. The HNI-TPO has been present in the eastern region provinces since the beginning of its operations in Afghanistan. Currently, HNI-TPO is BPHS/EPHS implementers in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces. HNI-TPO has several other active projects in the two provinces and other areas of Afghanistan. Most importantly, HNI-TPO is running Family Protection Centers in eastern provinces Owing to the progressively widening circle of hard-to-reach areas due to the worsening security situation in Kunar and Nangarhar provinces, the access of people to the existing BPHS services is increasingly diminishing. As stipulated in AHF 2nd Reserve Allocation Paper and Afghanistan Spring Disaster Contingency Plan, the situation is further aggregated by climatic anomalies, intensifying conflict, new and protracted internal displacement, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which are exacerbating the pre-existing needs and vulnerabilities of the people in both provinces and elsewhere in Afghanistan. Currently, people have either no or limited access to the BPHS HFs in hard to reach and insecure areas of Dara-e-pech, Chapa Dara, Ghaziabad, and Sarkani districts of Kunar, and in Sorkh Road and peri-urban areas of Nangarhar. To address the needs and vulnerabilities of the people in selected districts of Kunar and Nangarhar provinces, the project will provide essential life-saving health, nutrition, GBV, and MHPSS services through six integrated mobile teams. Four integrated mobile health teams will be established in Kunar province – one team in Dara-e-pech district (Kunar Team-1), one team in Chapa Dara district (Kunar Team-2), one team in Ghaziabad district (Kunar Team-3), and one team in Sarkani district (Kunar Team-4) – likewise, two integrated mobile teams will be established in Nangarhar province – two teams in Sorkh Road district (Nangarhar Team-1 and Nangarhar Team-2 ), Each integrated mobile team will be staffed with one MD, one midwife, one nutrition nurse, one vaccinator, two psychosocial support officers (male and female), and one community mobilizer. Furthermore, in order to address the deeper need and vulnerabilities of girls and women, the project will strengthen GBV and MHPSS activities in the existing selected BPHS health facilities of Kunar and Nangarhar provinces by employing one Psychosocial Support Officer in each selected BPHS health facilities. The BPHS health facilities have been selected based on the assessment carried out by HNI-TPO provincial teams and in consultation with PPHDs of Kunar and Nangarhar provinces.18 psychosocial support officers will be hired in Kunar province, and 3 psychosocial officers will be hired in Nangarhar provinces. The proposed project will also enhance the capacity of the selected health facilities by the provision of essential medicine and medical supplies to ensure a timely and appropriate response to seasonal infectious disease outbreaks including AWD and measles. 20 BPHS health facilities in Kunar and 3 BPHS health facilities in Nangarhar, selected in view of the field assessment and consultation with the PPHDs, will be provided essential medicine and medical supplies. The proposed project will provide services to 138,255 affected persons including 13,143 men 40,590 women 40,967 boys and 43,555 girls.

The HNI-TPO is a Netherland-based international organization working in Afghanistan since 1994 in health, nutrition, MHPSS, communicable disease control, GBV, humanitarian services, capacity building and research. The HNI-TPO has been present in the eastern region provinces since the beginning of its operations in Afghanistan. Currently, HNI-TPO is the BPHS/EPHS implementer in Kunar and Laghman provinces, and implements EPHS in Nangarhar. HNI-TPO has been implementing other humanitarian and vertical projects in Kunar and many other provinces of Afghanistan. The potential dry-spell and floods in spring and summer months put some districts of the province in a dire need for emergency nutrition services to prevent morbidity and mortality in children and women. The continuous insecurity with frequent clashes between government and opposition forces has been further complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic which is showing indications of third wave in the country deteriorated the situation and people access to the health facilities badly affected. Based on IPC, Kunar province is among the 9 high risk provinces in Afghanistan which shows emergency situation of food security there. According to the HRP 2021, nearly one in two children under five and one in four PLW is now facing acute malnutrition and requires life-saving treatment services. Kunar province population is scatter and distributed in valleys with harsh geographic location, transportation problems, and road block due to flood and land slide which caused to limit access to the available health facilities. Most of the health facilities in Kunar (31 out of 62) are health sub centers (Now called preliminary health center or PHC) which do not have nutrition services as per BPHS policy. According to the rapid assessment for AHF project, th following districts will be targeted through 7 Mobile Nutrition Team (NMTs) : Asmar, Dangam, Marawara, Nari, Noorgal and Watapur. Each NMT will consist of 4 technical staff including one MD, one Midwife, One nutrition officer and one social mobilizer/health educator. Project staff will train on nutrition topics (IMAM). In addition social mobilizers/health educator and team in-charges will train on communication and community engagement topics. This project will provide OPD SAM and OPD MAM services. Complicated SAM cases will refer to the relevant IPD-SAM sites and transportation cost (conditional cash payment) will provide to the care taker according to the Afghanistan cash for nutrition guidance note. Also screening, GMP and RCCE regarding COVID-19. In addition to the nutrition activities, these mobile team will provide OPD services, antennal care, post natal care and family planning services. In OPD main focus will be on children, women and men. Project will have one month inception period for staff recruitment, vehicles renting for NMTs, provision of SAM and MAM supply form PND/UNICE and WFP, SDPs selection , kickoff , detail planning, receiving HMIS codes for NMTs and project registration with the Ministry of Economy. This project will provide services to 64,658 people and will regularly supervise and monitor by HNI-TPO provincial and country offices team. In addition the relevant stakeholders will be involved in all phases of the project.

Action Against Hunger (AAH) aims to increase the coverage of nutrition services with the provision of an integrated package of health, nutrition and Mental Health and Care Practices (MHCP) services aimed at children below 5 years and women of reproductive age (15-49 years old), with a focus on pregnant and lactating women (PLW), who are population groups vulnerable to undernutrition. The services will be provided through the deployment of two integrated mobile health and nutrition teams (IMHNT), one in Murghab district of Ghor province and one in Wardoj district of Badakhshan province. The IMHNT intervention sites will be identified in coordination with the BPHS implementers and the Provincial Public Health Directorate (PPHD) to avoid duplication of services and support the communities most affected by the drought and in urgent need of nutrition interventions. The IMHNTs will provide out-patient services for SAM and MAM cases, and will support referral for SAM cases with complications to in patient care through the cash for nutrition approach. These activities will be complemented by a community nutrition component consisting of empowering community members on undernutrition prevention and timely case identification and referral through Family MUAC approach. To offer a comprehensive package and obtain a more impactful response, in addition to prevention and treatment nutrition services, AAH will provide primary health care services for children under five and women of reproductive age (15-49 years old), care practices stimulation sessions, IYCF awareness and counselling and psychosocial support. One of the principal category of beneficiaries for this project will be the children under 5 years diagnosed with undernutrition. Moderate and severe undernutrition cases will be eligible for outpatient services, and severe cases with complications who need inpatient care will receive cash for nutrition component as per nutrition cluster guidance. Children with common childhood illness will also beneficiate from our services, and children with complicated health conditions will be assisted to have access to proper treatment at upper level. Our reproductive health component will target girls and women of reproductive age through contraceptive methods, pre and post-partum follow up, as well as safe delivery for those identified with danger signs via the cash for Health component. All these beneficiaries will be selected as per national guidelines and guidance from different technical working groups.

The disruption of nutrition service provision due overburdened health facilities is expected to deteriorate the nutrition status of children. In addition, the poor access to health facilities deprived a large number of population and exposed them to the risk of disease and malnutrition. World Vision (WV) Intends to deliver the required nutrition services through the establishment of 3 Mobile Health and Nutrition teams in the drought at risk districts Injil in Herat, Firozkoh and Charsdah in Ghor and Ghormach in Badghis provinces. Health care providers under these MHNTs will receive proper IMAM training (Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition) to ensure high quality nutrition serviced delivered to the clients.The community health structure will be used on active case detection of malnourished cases and active referral to the MHNTs. Frontline Health Providers will receive the Mental Health and Psychosocial (MHPSS) training based on the mhGAP and Afghanistan MoPH MHPSS guideline and ensure the clients received proper MHPSS curative and counseling services. World Vision will also focus on Health Shura, CHWs, Family Health action Groups and orient them about the project scope of work as well as to learn key Maternal Infant and Young Child Feeding and nutrition (MIYCN) to increase community awareness on key respective practices. Furthermore, the proposed project will work to strengthen the capacity of Family Health Action Groups, female volunteers and CHWs in Infant and Young Child Feeding to promote key IYCF practices and counselling based on the WHO guideline under the COVID-19 circumstances. These groups will be trained to respond to the question of key community members and women in childbearing ages in relation on promotion of breastfeeding and to be able to respond to any questions that may be asked by each member of the community. The project will focus on early action to avoid severe malnutrition so the project will cover the, borderline’ cases of acute malnutrition through prevention-oriented services such as counselling on optimal care practices to mothers of children who are borderline in terms of their Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC). This approach has potential to reduce the risk of rapid deterioration of the nutritional status of children with a MUAC result of 12.5-13.5 cm. This will be done at the MHNTs level by nutrition nurse and at the community level by community nutrition promoters. The adaptation mechanism will be taken into consideration during any capacity building efforts, IYCF promotion session based on the WHO/MOPH and WV Standard Operating Procedure for training, public gatherings, IEC distribution under the COVID-19 circumstances. The project will focus on the provision of lifesaving referral for those cases that require inpatient services and will ensure that a transportation and treatment facility are provided for them. WV attends the EPR meetings on a weekly basis and will update the key actors including DoPH, OCHA and WHO on the project progress the project report will be shared on a weekly and monthly basis to the key nutrition cluster focal points and DEWS surveillance focal points. In the EPR meetings, various issues are discussed such as places where the new MHNTs should operate and take proper measures to avoid overlap of same interventions. The project will use the community health promoter and nutrition nurses to record all the children with disabilities as well as disabled PLWs in a separate registration book and ensure they receive proper medical assessment and receive curative and counseling health and nutrition services. Through GIK WV will distribute the wheel-chair to them and ensure MHNT are friendly enough for the children and PLWs with disability.

This, together with the stalemate between the Afghan government and the Taliban at the peace table has escalated the conflict across most of the country. Fighting almost halted only for three days during the Eid festivity but they started again immediately after it. Diminished precipitation during the La Niña period has triggered a water scarcity crisis. Drought has not yet been officially declared however, abnormally low precipitation is likely to affect overall access to water and agricultural output in impoverished rural areas. For many impacted communities, it has become a challenge to acquire enough water for drinking, hygiene and food production (agriculture and livestock). In the context of an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, insufficient water, including sanitation and hygiene, has placed communities at a heightened risk of infectious and waterborne diseases, including COVID-19 and Acute Watery Diarrhoea. Against this background, 250,000 people are anticipated to become internally displaced between March and June because of intensifying conflict. In addition to this, within the same period of time, more than 230,000 undocumented migrants and refugee returnees are expected to cross back into Afghanistan and require humanitarian assistance (2nd Reserve Allocation 2021, Allocation Strategy Paper). In 2020, expanded demand and scaled-up outreach by the WASH Cluster have created an urgent need for replenishment of hygiene kits, handwashing stations and water kits. The water supply infrastructure needs repair and rehabilitation because of damage from conflict and disasters and increased strain due to low precipitation. All these factors have contributed to an increased displacement of the population and have dramatically raised the number of people in need of humanitarian interventions. To respond to the above situation, DACAAR, as part of the proposed project, will provide WASH assistance to 52,500 affected people, as follow: a. Rehabilitation of 500 non-functional water points and in case some water points are beyond repair, construction of new water point or as a last resort, emergency trucking of safe water. In addition, DACAAR will run a groundwater early monitoring system to collect and provide data on groundwater availability to better inform relevant stakeholders and their WASH programmes. b. Distribution of 3000 hygiene kits to targeted beneficiaries alongside the provision of hygiene education covering topics as Covid-19, personal hygiene, safe water transport and storage, handwashing and waste management. In addition, to strengthen hygiene practices and encourage handwashing with soap, DACAAR will install 20 handwashing facilities with functional water systems in public places. c. Construction of 100 emergency latrines and 100 emergency baths (EBLs) aiming at promoting good hygiene and sanitation practices to prevent the spread of illnesses such as acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) and Covid-19 d. Procurement and pre-positioning of 5000 hygiene kits and other key WASH items in four strategic locations for the WASH Cluster core pipeline, that can be used by the Cluster's partners e. Gender/Protection sensitive WASH support for GBV mitigation. DACAAR female staff will consult women and adolescent girls on WASH access related to gender and GBV concerns. EBLs and water points locations will be agreed upon with the local community, considering, in particular, the needs and demands of female, elderly and disabled beneficiaries.

Snowpack is low, resulting in less water from snowmelt, which has led to declining water tables across the country. Communities are already experiencing challenges with water access both for domestic use and for agricultural activities. Communities facing heightened risk of diseases due to COVID-19 may become more vulnerable to waterborne diseases with drought conditions. CRS conducted a rapid multi-sectoral assessment in February and April 2021 that revealed significant WASH needs in Ghor and Daykundi, both among the provinces identified by the ICCT Spring Disaster Contingency Plan and the WASH Cluster with the most critical humanitarian needs in Afghanistan. Community members interviewed in focus group discussions all indicated that the water levels from various water sources in their communities were the lowest they have seen in recent years, even lower when compared with spring 2017 prior to the previous drought. Many expressed serious concerns over the availability of drinking water especially later in the summer months, when water levels are expected to decrease further. Key informant interviews with government stakeholders, such as the Provincial Department for Rural Rehabilitation and Development (PRRD), echo these same concerns. In many rural communities, water tables have not fully recovered from the 2017/18 drought and the current conditions foretell prolonged and precarious water scarcity and water quality issues. In the absence of immediate WASH assistance, rural households living at places of origin may be forced to migrate to urban areas. Through the AHF 2nd RA, CRS proposes to provide emergency WASH assistance to rural communities at places of origin in Daykundi and Ghor to mitigate the risk of displacement, focusing on the following key activities: - Rehabilitate existing water supply systems, such as repairing boreholes, further excavating wells, replacing handpumps, and maintenance of solar-powered water supply systems and gravity-led pipe schemes - Drill and develop new boreholes where there are no other immediate solutions to restore water access - Establish and train water management committees, which include both men and women as members, so that they have the capacity for the continued operation and maintenance of these systems - Promote household water treatment methods, including the provision of water purification tablets where appropriate until safe water access is restored - Hygiene promotion, especially critical handwashing times, incorporating key messages on disease prevention through Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) CRS will engage closely with those who are often marginalized from decision-making processes, such as women and adolescent girls, to ensure that the project address their specific WASH needs. Intentional consultation with these individuals will ensure that water access provided by the project is sensitive to gender and gender-based violence (GBV) concerns. Collectively, these activities will provide target communities with sustained access to safe water, building their resilience to the shocks of the impending drought. The project will assist an estimated 21,000 individuals living in 16 communities in Ghor and Daykundi. CRS has worked in Ghor since 2005 and Daykundi since 2014. In both provinces, CRS assisted rural communities in the 2017/18 drought through an emergency WASH response. The project builds on CRS’ existing operational presence in both provinces, where it has built strong relations with government stakeholders and a high level of community acceptance. It also draws on its extensive WASH experience in projects funded by donors such as USAID in the past 16 years.Catholic Relief ServicesCatholic Relief ServicesAfghanistan Humanitarian FundJoseph HoHead of Programs+93 728897211joseph.ho@crs.orgAnne BousquetCountry Representative+93 79 003 0515 anne.bousquet@crs.orgMahmood WahidiHead of Operations+93 79 410 1002mahmood.wahidi@crs.orgAlipur HamedFinance Manager+93 70 040 4050hamed.alipur@crs.orgAndrew KaiserProgram Manager+93 72 889 7226andrew.kaiser@crs.orgDaykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Water, Sanitation and Hygiene350000.00350000.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCatholic Relief Services280000.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCatholic Relief Services251445.72Catholic Relief ServicesUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA2/WASH/INGO/18772United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsForty years of war, recurrent natural disasters, increasing poverty, and COVID-19 are devastating the people of Afghanistan. During the second half of 2020, a moderate to strong La Niña phenomenon was registered that is causing extreme weather conditions in various parts of the world, including Afghanistan, that has been experiencing below-average rainfall and snowfall since October 2020. In a country that already experiences high levels of water scarcity, this event is expected to have dramatic humanitarian consequences, while the country is hardly starting to recover from the 2018-2019 drought. This may mean there is a reduction in water availability for the winter wheat crop cycle (cultivation in spring) a reduction in rangeland production negatively affecting livestock and higher risk of avalanches (in the highlands) and other types of hazards associated with warmer temperatures during winter. While COVID-19 strengthened the need for access to hygiene facilities, 12.8 million people are expected to be in need of WASH assistance in 2021 (Humanitarian Response Plan 2021). These current negative developments are putting additional pressures and pushing the financially poor households at risk of experiencing negative coping strategies, including forced displacement. In this context, this proposed 6-month intervention aims to provide WASH services to 46,900 individuals in 24 districts across 5 provinces : Faryab (Pashtonkut, Almar, Dwalatabad, Qaisar and Qaramqool districts), Sar-e-Pol (Sar-e-Pol, Sancharak, Sozma Qala, Gosfandi and Sayad districts) and Kunduz (Khanabad, Dasht-e-Archi, Qala-e-Zal, Aliabad, Imam Sahib and Kunduz), Badakhshan (Argo, Kishem and Shahr-e-Bozorg districts) and Takhar (Khowja-Bahawddin, Rustaq, Taloqan, Hazar Sumuch and Chall districts). In line with the WASH cluster priorities and with the Spring Disaster Contingency Plan, ACTED will prioritize the rehabilitation of 240 boreholes and 6 spring catchments, benefiting to 6,450 households (46,900 people), while promoting water treatment at household level. While one of the indirect objectives of the project is to prevent people from being forcibly displaced by providing them with access to safe drinking water, the intervention will also target 250 already displaced households people living in ISETs in Kunduz district, and provide them with hygiene kits and gender and disability sensitive latrines. Throughout the implementation, ACTED will contribute to an Early Warning System by conducting ongoing monitoring on water points in all 24 districts of intervention, and disseminating the message via radio, as prioritized by the WASH cluster, as well as by preferred means identified by the communities. To strengthen the positive effect of the intervention, all beneficiaries of all activities will receive hygiene sessions, in order to promote handwashing, good hygiene practices and household water treatment. In line with WHO recommended measures and MoPH’s official guidance, every activity implemented under the project will be strictly adapted in relation to COVID-19 context and mitigation measures and all staff involved will receive awareness sessions on COVID-19. ACTED will use the opportunity of community mobilization and outreach to disseminate key messages on COVID-19 and on basic mitigation measures. ACTED’s staff is trained and has experience on awareness raising and notably on how to tackle misinformation about COVID-19 and the vaccine. ACTED long-standing presence in the districts of intervention and the fact that the staff is hired as much as possible from the very same area of intervention are two key elements that will help tailor the message to the communities.

Multiple factors have caused it: increased violence across Afghanistan, fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic, the highest registered number of returnees from Iran, scarce rain and snow precipitation that are leading the country towards a drought. The number of people in need has reached the shocking amount of 18.4 million. Specifically, the WASH Cluster has identified 8.8 million of people in need for 2021 and the situation can become more fragile if the intra-Afghan peace talks will not achieve tangible results and with the announced of withdrawal of all international armed forces by the 11th of September 2021. With the support of UNOCHA’s 2nd Reserve Allocation (2RA) and in line with Target set out by WASH Cluster and the Humanitarian Response Plan, AABRAR will respond to the WASH needs in our two targeted districts of Farah Province through construction of bore-wells, water supply providing by trucks as a last resort, distribute of hygiene kits and provision of hygiene education covering topics as Covid-19, personal hygiene, safe water transport and storage, handwashing and waste management. AABRAR will make sure that all the activities shall address WASH needs of the targeted conflict and drought affected communities including returnees, IDPs and host communities with the main aim to protect their lives, increase resilience and the living standards of the most disadvantaged communities. Also, activities of this project are designed to decrease and avoid the spread of water-borne diseases and support beneficiaries including women to maintain their health and dignity. In addition, AABRAR shall construct 30 bore-wells fitted with hand pumps with the objective to deliver safe water to 450 families so that they could use for drinking, personal hygiene and cooking. Also, AABRAR will make sure the supply of safe drinking water free of contamination through trucks (water trucking) to hard-to-reach areas during emergency to 500 families as last resort. Similarly, AABRAR will also make sure the supply and distribution of hygiene kits and education to 2600 conflict and drought affected families in the targeted two districts of Farah province with the objective to reduce the risk of water-borne diseases and building awareness of safe hygiene. The targeted families shall also get education of safe drinking water, safe food handling and proper hygiene as well as adequate sanitation. Moreover, throughout the project implementation period, AABRAR will coordinate activities of the project with all concerned stakeholders including WASH Cluster, DoRR, UNOCHA, district and provincial government and concerned local communities in Farah Province.Afghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundWaheed ShahProgram Manager0093 (0) 770615156waheedshah@aabrar.org.afIrfan RaqeebiProject Manager0093 (0) 77242882irfanraqeebi@aabrar.org.afNajibullah Finance Manager0093704096252najib@aabrar.org.afFarah32.49532800 62.26266270Water, Sanitation and Hygiene250000.15250000.15Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation125000.08Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation125000.07Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/APC/INGO/20010United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsUnder this project, The HALO Trust will deploy seven quick response teams (QRT) to carry out explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), survey, explosive ordnance risk education (EORE), and victim data collection. Two dedicated EORE specific teams will also be deployed under this project. HALO has added additional EORE beneficiaries to this project in recognition of the heightened period of risk to communities who have been displaced by recent transitions in Afghan governance, with IDP movements being a well-established trigger for increased accidents resulting from ERW due to unfamiliarity with mine-laying history. EORE will have a specific child safety focus, in recognition of the prevalence of Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) incidents involving children. HALO will work closely with the Directorate of Mine Action Coordination (DMAC) who will determine the work plan for the teams, as per the existing process, in order to systematically respond to country-wide call-outs from communities in need. This project will seek to reduce the extent and impact of explosive remnants of war in 12 provinces listed in the work-plan. This will be achieved through a multi-faceted approach including: i) survey, marking and clearance of hazardous items, ii) collection of victim data, and facilitation of referral needs to health partners iii) provision of explosive ordnance risk education with a specific emphasis on child-friendly sessions iv) capacity development to the wider child protection community through training of trainers, thereby significantly increasing the ability of protection partners to provide life-saving explosive ordnance messaging to at-risk communities across Afghanistan. The project will support seven quick response teams, and two dedicated EORE teams. EORE teams will be mixed gender to support achievement of gender inclusive outcomes. Each QRT team will consist of: a team leader (EOD 3 qualified), an assistant team leader (EOD 3 qualified), and two deminers/medics. Mixed gender EORE teams will consist of: a team leader and an EORE assessor. Additionally, the project will also include two community mobilisers, who work to ensure access, as well as high levels of community acceptance in areas of intervention. Activities: Survey and EOD: Conduct non-technical and technical survey, spot EOD tasks, and clearance of small confirmed hazardous areas. Respond to requests for ERW clearance received by DMAC’s hotline, or by local community members. HALO has so far responded to 290 EOD requests across the country through the hotline. Provision of child-friendly explosive ordnance risk education to populations in mine-affected areas. Mixed gender teams will ensure that women, men, girls and boys are reached. Furthermore, the inclusion of specific child-friendly materials will support the ability of teams to put an additional emphasis on reaching children who are proven to be at specifically high risk of accidents relating to explosive hazards. Victim data collection: HALO will collect data on casualties from explosive hazards in areas where QRT and EORE teams are operating. Data collected will be shared with both the DMAC, and when possible, referrals to health cluster partners will be completed. As in previous QRT projects, data will be collected in coordination with government, UN agencies and Non-governmental organizations (NGOs). HALO has as existing working relationship with cluster health partner HealthNet TPO and will continue to provide support for victims to access health services as relevant. Capacity development of child-protection partners through EORE training of trainers: Child protection partners will receive training by the EORE teams on key messaging and safe behaviours to improve capacity of cluster to disseminate safety messages and materials to at-risk communities across Afghanistan.

Children in Crisis is requesting $495,887 for a rapid response to provide psychosocial support and protective services for 23,002 conflict and crisis-affected children across Badakhshan, Baghlan, Bamyan and Daikundi provinces. Protection programmes will be implemented in Baghlan-e-Jadid and Pul-e-Khumri districts in Baghlan Bamyan, Panjab, Shibar, Waras and Yakawlang districts in Bamyan Yaftal, Baharak and Faizabad districts in Badakhshan and Gezab and Nili districts in Daikundi. These areas are prioritized as having the highest proportion of vulnerable and poor populations in need of humanitarian assistance, including returned IDPs who have returned back to their places of origin. This include 3500+ families in Baghlan, 3000+ families in Bamyan and 1850+ families in Daikundi. The project promotes the protection of vulnerable conflict and crisis-affected children through (i) increasing access to psychosocial support services for children experiencing distress due to displacement (ii) increasing access to services including counselling and case management for children separated from caregivers due to displacement (iii) increasing access to recognized services including interim care, case management and family tracing and reunification for the children at extreme risk of exposure to exploitation and violence. The project uses a scaffolded intervention that intensifies support and services across categories of increasing vulnerabilities: 10,055 children at-risk and the care givers will receive psychosocial support services 2,530 Unaccompanied and Separated Children [UASC] at significant risk due to separation from caregivers will receive counselling and case management services and 5380 children at severe risk of exposure to exploitation and violence will receive specialized services including interim care, case management and family tracing and reunification. In addition a total of 6,944 persons (2,726 boys, 1,950 girls, 1,134 men, and 1,134 women) will be trained on child rights, PSEA, child marriages, illegal migration and case management and referral pathways. Children in Crisis is a protection sector specialist, recognized as one of the “Top Ten NGO” actors by the Child Protection Action Network [CPAN] in 2019. Our extensive experience and expertise in protection programming – with proven approaches to working with incarcerated and separated children – positions us to implement an intensive intervention over a six-month project period. The proposed project leverages existing, established education in emergencies programmes including Increasing Access to Community-Centered Education for 24 000 Children [$2.3M/1Y/ Global Partnership for Education] in Baghlan and Zabul and “Access to Education in Emergencies for 14 750 children” [$1.6M/1Y/ Education Cannot Wait] in Uruzgan and protection programmes including Protecting Afghan Children in the COVID-19 Crisis [$445K/3M/Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund] in Badakhshan, Balkh, Bamyan and Herat and Provision of Protection Services to 15 000 Children and Women in the Winter [$250K/3M/Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund] – each intervention includes integrated protection activities that underscore our sustained commitment and capabilities in child protection.

Mobile Teams will be composed of two females psychosocial counsellors, a midwife, and male and female community mobilizers. All staff will be trained in PFA and GBV Core Concepts amp Safe Referrals, whereas the psychosocial counsellors will be additionally trained in Survivor Centered GBV Case Management and Caring for Child Survivors of Sexual Assault. Mobile teams will provide services in the field 4 days per week while 1 day per week staff will come to the office for purposes of field debriefing, case supervision and staff care. Services provided under this project will include group-based health educational sessions , individual consultations to provide basic emotional support, PFA, survivor centered case management services and referrals. Clients who require CMR services will be referred to Family Protection Centers and supported throughout the process to make sure they receive timely care of good quality. Within each session, GBV messaging will be integrated, and IEC materials will be used as per MOPH guidance and global best practices in emergencies. Due to current challenging context, adolescent girls will not be targeted for educational group-based activities. However, case management services will be provided to clients under 18 either as result of self-referral or referral through family members, Community Focal Points or other NGOs. Together with local leaders and women in WGS, IMC will work to make sure that activities are inclusive to people with disabilities, older persons, national/ethnic and religious minorities. Most of the venues where awareness raising, social activities and individual services are provided are on ground floor and easily accessible to people using wheelchair or older persons. Furthermore, these groups of citizens who are at risk of social exclusion will be provided with space and encouraged during activities to voice their concerns, needs but also ideas about social, economic and cultural inclusion. Mobile teams will target multiple locations/villages within a given district where spaces/houses for ad hoc community based centers are selected. Locations will be visited once per week on a rotation basis, coordinating a prior appointment through Community Focal Points. 8-week long program of educational sessions around health and dignity kits distribution will be used as entry points to identify survivors or individuals at risk of GBV and provide care and support. After 8 weeks, new locations within selected districts will be identified and the program will be rolled out. A total of 5 rounds of 8-week long project cycles will be organized over the course of 10 months . In each round, 12 community-based spaces will be managed by 3 Mobile Teams and serve as temporary service delivery points. In total 60 spaces will be managed throughout the project lifetime. At the community level, IMC’s trained Community Focal Points will regularly provide information about the availability of services through this project and at health facilities in the area. Community Focal Points will liaise directly with existing community health workers and health Shuras to further encourage community participation and engagement in project activities. Community Focal Points will also be able to refer GBV cases to IMC’s teams for further support.

DRC will assist 1,000 individuals by providing Individual Protection Assistance (IPA) to the most vulnerable individuals to address immediate protection concerns at the individual or family level as per needs identified during protection monitoring and/or rapid protection assessments (RPAs). IPA assistance will be provided in the form of cash to prevent, reduce, or mitigate exposure to a specific protection risk, or limit the effects of violations on victims, where there is a serious and immediate protection risk that can be prevented, reduced, or mitigated through direct assistance. There must be a specific, intentional, and articulated protection outcome for the individual or household in question that is directly linked to the provision of assistance. IPA is an emergency protection activity, and as such is fundamentally time-sensitive. In close cooperation with Emergency staff, DRC Protection Officers will employ IPA as a responsive measure to address a serious and immediate protection risk (so long as the case meets the IPA criteria). DRC will identify most vulnerable individuals through protection monitoring in Farah as funded through AHF’s 2nd Reserve Allocation and through RPAs which DRC will carry out in areas of new displacements. Across the three Provinces (Farah, Zabul and Kandahar), DRC will also receive referrals from its emergency teams, who are carrying out Household Emergency Assessment Tool (HEAT) assessments and providing emergency shelter assistance and multipurpose cash assistance (MPCA) response in Zabul, Kandahar and MPCA in Farah. Protection teams will move with the DRC Emergency staff, and where individuals are facing a specific protection threat in accordance with the IPA criteria, the Protection staff will conduct an individual risk assessment of the concerned individual to determine eligibility and develop the IPA package. The project will also complement the ongoing procedures on protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA). Finally, the project will provide the communities and people affected by crisis in these two regions access to safe and responsive mechanisms to lodge SEA complaints and seek appropriate support.Danish Refugee CouncilDanish Refugee CouncilAfghanistan Humanitarian FundSamane Salimi-TariHead of Programmes+93 71 105 5252 Samane.salimi-tari@drc.ngoConie PamposaProgramme Support Manager+93 711 055255conie.pamposa@drc.ngoDenis ZdericFinance Manager+93 711055290denis.zderic@drc.ngoMehria MansooryActing Protection Coordinator+93 711055265mehria.mansoory@drc.ngoFarah32.49532800 62.26266270Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Zabul32.19187820 67.18944880Protection39603.96360396.08400000.04Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee Council240000.04Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee Council150961.82Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee Council235.40Danish Refugee CouncilUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/APC/INGO/20178United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe proposed project will respond to acute child protection risks by scaling up lifesaving child protection activities to prevent, mitigate and respond to abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence faced by girls and boys, enabling equitable, inclusive and safe access to quality child protection services for children and families affected by multiple shocks that leads to deepening humanitarian needs due to existing amp recent crisis including conflict, displacement, poverty, drought and the pandemic. The proposed project will address the protection needs of the most vulnerable children and families through:1) provision of case management services to provide children with an individualized response to address their specific protection needs, using vulnerability criteria, and through referral mechanisms that enhance their access to other services, service mapping and referral pathway mechanisms developed by WCUK through existing projects 2) provision of psychosocial support services (PSS) and Psychological First Aid (PFA) through static and mobile Child Friendly Spaces operated by trained facilitators. A case worker will be assigned to each CFS to provide additional capacity to safely identify and refer cases from the community and provide any immediate assistance 3) strengthening community-based child protection committees through training and mentoring to enable them provide support in identification and referral of CP cases in their respective communities to the service providers and to support coordinated responses to child protection needs, particularly case management needs 4) working with community-based networks to conduct awareness-raising and information sharing on critical child protection issues to enhance child protection knowledge in affected communities and respond to identified needs. These structures will help reduce child protection risks such as child labour, begging and other child protection concerns through their communication and awareness-raising activities and advice to communities and families and 5) provision of protection assistance (cash-for-protection) for the most at-risk individuals living in vulnerable households to enable them to access services and meet basic essential needs and respond to protection risks and reduce the risks of adopting negative coping mechanisms in the short-term. Cases will be identified and referred to the IPA activity through WCUK’s complementary case management and community-based child protection work. Standardised information will be collected through these referrals to ensure consistent, transparent and comprehensive targeting based on the agreed risks and vulnerability criteria and aligned with project outcomes and objectives. The project will be implemented in four AHF priority districts (2 in Herat, 1 in Badghis and 1 in Ghor) over six months’ period. The project will also be implemented using programmatic, operational and logistic capacities of ongoing projects implemented by War Child UK in three provinces to maximize effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed project.

The needs of the population remain high and since the approaches of former projects proved to be highly effective, Tdh proposes to embark on another project for vulnerable IDPs, returnees, and conflict affected population of the provinces Laghman, and Kunar. The project intends to strengthen the resilience of these groups by reducing vulnerabilities through access to information on CP, by addressing specific needs through community delivered life-saving psycho-social services, the establishment of a case management system (protection) and by strengthening protection mechanisms through Community Based Child Protection Committees (CBCPC, consisting of influential people in the community such as teachers, religious, young age boys and girls who graduated from high school or university) and volunteers. These activities will be delivered to improve the coping mechanism of children and to detect most vulnerable children in need of further assistance. The separated and unaccompanied children will be provided with prevention and response through interim care of DolSA center in Laghman and in Asadabad center of Kunar provinces. Once the beneficiary is identified through defined selection criteria, the payments of the assistance will reach to the beneficiaries through cash Vander envelope in their districts or a secure accessible location ( Tdh should be having risk assessments to identify the more secure area easily accessible to all beneficiary with no risks , as the project is for protection. the cash will be distributed to the beneficiaries once in the project duration and the amount is mention in the budget part of the proposal. thus, Tdh promote not to further expose the risks to the ones already having protection concerns, Therefore, Tdh has its Safeguarding amp PSEA policies. Beside of these two policies Tdh will also consider the community based complain mechanism in the intervention area. The activities will be implemented by expert Tdh social worker and social animator in the districts mentioned below. This 12-month will be implemented in the Eastern provinces as follows: - In Laghman: Qarghani district (2 villages) Mahterlam district (2 villages including), Alishang district (2 villages), Alingar district (2 villages),- Kunar: Watapoor district (2 villages) Shegul district (2 villages), Marwara district (2 villages) and Dangam, district (2 villages) Total 32 village will be covered during the project implementation period by Tdh expert staff.16 villages will be covered in the first phase of the project implementation and 16 village will be cover in the second phase. In total, Tdh will reach to 32 village in two phases of the project. The data collected during the planned project activities will be shared with the clusters and OCHA regularly and, when relevant, will be shared with other partners for further support for the intervention area. The sustainability and relevancy of the proposed project will be reinforced by integrating lessons learned and impact analysis based on the assessment report. Tdh will establish child wellbeing center for the children who are at risk of violence in two provinces in the east region of the country focus most on the districts that affected by conflict and IDP present in intervention area. The child wellbeing center will be a safe place for the children to go an engage in wellbeing activities such as games and art and learning about their rights.The Terre des hommes FoundationThe Terre des hommes FoundationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundDr. Erhard BauerCountry Representative Afghanistan-Pakistan+ 93 707 154 657erhard.bauer@tdh.ch Mohammad Faisal ArozoFinance Coordinator + 93 (0) 700 29 23 34faisal.mohammad@tdh.ch Mohammad Daud Ibrahim Khail Child Protection Coordinator +93 799337232mohammed.daud@tdh.chKunar34.84658930 71.09731700Laghman34.68976870 70.14558050Protection429327.0717173.08446500.15Afghanistan Humanitarian FundThe Terre des hommes Foundation267900.09Afghanistan Humanitarian FundThe Terre des hommes Foundation178600.06Afghanistan Humanitarian FundThe Terre des hommes Foundation3529.78The Terre des hommes FoundationUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/APC/INGO/20335United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSince the takeover of the Taliban, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated rapidly in the past two months. Even at the onset of 2021, nearly 10 million children were in need of humanitarian assistance. Since May, the number of internally displaced more than doubled to over 570,000 people, nearly 60 percent of whom are children. Violence continues to disproportionately impact children and women, who represent 46 per cent of all civilian casualties recorded by June 2021. The rights of women and girls including freedom of movement and access to employment and education, are at risk, and protection from violence, persecution and reprisal remain a top priority. Humanitarian needs are expected to increase as new displacement patterns exacerbate existing vulnerabilities linked to the conflict, food insecurity, the effects of the drought and the COVID-19 pandemic. The dire situation has been compounded by the fast-approaching winter which may further isolate communities who are heavily dependent on humanitarian assistance to survive. Protection and other sectors will need to mobilize more resources to scale up responses to ensure children do not suffer from the consequences of the harsh conditions. In respond to the urgent protection needs, World Vision Afghanistan (WVA) will focus on supporting individual children who face complex protection concerns and deliver comprehensive case management services through the trained Case Workers and Community Mobilizers in Firozkoh and Lal Wa Sarjangal districts in Ghor province. Case management enables support to be provided to at risk boys and girls in a systematic and coordinated manner. The activity will build on the existing practices of local protection partners with a view to improve technical quality and scale of activities in the given locations. Building on the existing structures, WVA will work with the community shura and other key actors to sensitize them on key protection concerns and mitigation measures in the current crisis. With increased awareness and knowledge, community members will be able to facilitate the identification and reporting of child protection cases within the community. Furthermore, the proposed project will conduct regular child protection monitoring with the different age and gender groups in order to assess and identify emerging CP risks and trends. Project staff will be trained to handle sensitive information in line with the confidentiality principle and the Global Protection Cluster’s guidelines on protection monitoring. Information dissemination is another key component of the proposed project. Brochures and other IEC materials in simple or child friendly languages will be made available at the service points as well as distributed to the households during home visits. These will include information on services access, protection and psychosocial support messages and safeguarding mechanisms. This information dissemination will be done by all project staff including the Community Mobilizers aiming to reach as many people as possible in various occasions. Meanwhile, basic psychosocial support activities will be provided in small group or home-based settings to address the high-level of stress among children and caregivers. WVA is well placed to implement this project, due to the several years of presence it has in Ghor province. The proposed action also builds on the results and lessons learned through the experience of the previous AHF project in the target districts. It addresses the major gaps identified by both the regional and local UNICEF Child Protection focal points. As the co-lead of the CP AoR in the Western Region, WVA will ensure close coordination with other protection actors as well as updating the key stakeholders on the project progress throughout the intervention.

Afghanistan has seen a major change in August 2021, when the Talibans took control over the country. This has led to increased level of displacement is causing untold miseries on the entire population especially the women and children. The women and girls are subject to increased mental trauma, gender-based violence, increased maternal mortality rates and degradation in access to education. The current scenario requires that the people experience a feeling that they are not alone. Most of them are undergoing traumatic experience and unless and until they are supported, they are likely to be pushed to further issues. In line with the current scenario, Aschiana has planned its interventions to be at the forefront in reaching out to all people particularly children and women with multiple interventions to support them to be mentally strong in this trying period. The strategies adopted is fitting to the times as what they require at present is a feeling of belongingness. Accordingly, Aschiana has designed the strategy to keep them strong mentally through programmes such as psycho social support including Psychological First Aid, Case Management, establishing child help desks to support children at IDP sites and Distribution of child protection key messages. These activities will increase children’s and the general public’s opportunities to strengthen resilience and psycho-social wellbeing. In addition, disseminating key protection messages on how to protect children in distress will help ensure that vulnerable person with specific needs and/or reduced coping capacities have access to assistance meets their needs in their locations. In the case of large scale. Aschiana will advocate to local authorities, UN agencies, donors, and other humanitarian partners to strengthen humanitarian coordination in regards to the humanitarian response. Aschiana will deploy dedicated staffs as part of its management teams to conduct protection monitoring. The staff members will maintain a stable presence in the targeted communities, will be conducting regular protection monitoring visits following an agreed upon methodology for data collection (focus group discussions, key informant interviews, household interviews, observations), as well as analysis and reporting in Nangarhar Province (Besud, Surkh Rod and Jalalabad Districts) and Kandahar Province (Kandahar District).

In a recent Whole of Afghanistan Survey conducted by HRRAC team in Helmand during the transition period unfolded the miseries, vulnerabilities and humanitarian situation of individuals, host and displaced communities. Active and prolonged conflict forced many households to multiple displacements. Lashkargah, the capital of Helmand, was a refuge to many families that migrated from the districts before the transition but fighting in the city challenged the survival of both the hosts and displaced communities. As per HRRAC findings, about half the population of Lashkargah are in need of emergency support. The situation in districts however, is far worse. The financial capacity to buy groceries for daily use is less than 3 percent in the city of Lashkargah. Majority of the households in Helmand are found to have severe or extreme sectoral needs in one or more sectors. Helmand has the highest number of persons who need individual protection assistance, legal awareness and psychosocial support. Overall, higher proportions of non-displaced conflict affected households desperately need individual assistance, psychological support, legal awareness. As per HRRAC findings of the Whole of Afghanistan survey in Helmand, 97 percent of households reported experiencing at least one type of major shock or event in the year prior to the survey and this has triggered a decline in the wellbeing of these families. However, many of the sufferings and even deaths could have been avoided if they were accessed, identified and their needs addressed. The impact of the conflict has reduced access to essential services and has affected livelihoods and coping mechanisms. Numerous protection issues need to be addressed in order to enhance the urgent needs and well-being of the people, including improved access to life-saving assistance. By addressing the needs of target individuals including women and children of displaced families will enable them to cope with the existing challenges posed by war, drought and COVID-19. When possible, HRRAC will coordinate with other clusters to maximize the impact of the intervention. While addressing the urgent needs of individuals through in kind and cash support, psychosocial support, legal awareness. Communities in Helmand resolve their issues in such a way that undermine the fundamentals of human rights and basic principles of protection. Therefore, it is relevant to increase the awareness of communities on legal issues, how can they access legal services and how to resolve disputes peacefully that could protect human rights and dignity of individuals. HRRAC understands that the nature and composition of the assistance will change over time given the wide range of shocks and threats to survival that characterize the vulnerability of people living in Helmand. The situation of returning IDPs and affected communities in Helmand is dire and urgently needs humanitarian response and meets the AHF criteria for intervention. The proposed activities satisfy the specific objectives of HRP third allocation. Keeping in view the emergency protection needs of communities in Helmand province, HRRAC proposes the following activities: (1) Provide individual protection assistance (IPA) to 800 vulnerable households. (2) Provide legal awareness to target communities. (3) Provide Psychosocial Support (PSS) to the susceptible individuals, families and communities.

UNMAS Afghanistan is a programme implemented by UNMAS via the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) under the Financial Regulations and Rules of UNOPS. Civilian casualties in the first half of the year reached a record high with the deteriorating security situation following the onset of the Taliban’s latest offensive, which began in May 2021 - added to the existing explosive hazard contamination across the country, particularly through the use of IEDs by former anti-government elements (AGEs) - has established an urgent need to prepare humanitarian actors better in the face of explosive threats. It has been already recognized that IEDs are and will ultimately remain one of the main threats to the civilian population, hindering mobility and humanitarian delivery. The aim of the initiative is to prepare humanitarian agencies with the necessary knowledge, skills and capabilities to operate safely in an environment where explosive risks are high, thereby enabling the delivery of humanitarian assistance in the context of the deteriorating security environment within Afghanistan. Under this project, UNMAS will conduct the Training of the Trainer (ToT) safety and security training with regard to managing/mitigating the threats presented by explosive hazards in Afghanistan and to develop Afghanistan-specific training modules to be further used to instruct UN agencies, national and international NGOs, and other relevant stakeholders. Topics will include: Basic recognition of explosive ordnance, including landmines, IEDs and explosive remnants of war (ERWs), and safe behaviour when encountering one. Minimum safety equipment while on a mission and safe behaviour depending on travel type (by vehicle, foot, and other means) and different environments. Incident management (actions in a dangerous area, how to respond after an explosion or another type of incident, etc.), with basic first aid/triage. Other topics identified at the assessment phase of the project, based on the inputs from relevant stakeholders. The project will provide UN agencies, national and international NGOs, and other relevant stakeholders with the knowledge and tools, to reduce the threats posed by explosive ordnance in high-risk areas. Training material will be gender-sensitive and produced in the relevant language depending on the audience, so will include as a minimum English, Dari, and Pashto. The training will be delivered by the international and national expert(s) and tailored to the Afghan context and needs of the audience. There are two milestones of the project: 1) Develop training materials pertaining to the above-mentioned topics in line with international conventions and standards 2) Provide training to 100 trainers from UN agencies, national and international NGOs, and other relevant organizations it is then expected that these trainers will replicate the training in their organizations, which UNMAS Afghanistan will monitor and support through technical advice and mentorship as needed. Throughout the project, including the initial courses delivered by the newly trained trainers, UNMAS Afghanistan will provide oversight and qualified mentorship via the hired IED Advisor and Trainer to ensure the targeted personnel are properly equipped and ready to further relay knowledge. This will ultimately enhance the humanitarian community to respond to the threat better.United Nations Office for Project ServicesUnited Nations Office for Project ServicesAfghanistan Humanitarian Fund Afghanistan Chief of Mine Action Programmeheslop@un.org Paul Heslop Matyas JuhaszProgramme Officer+93705004376matyasj@unops.orgJilian PiaoProgramme Officer+93706952264 JilianP@unops.orgKabul34.53333300 69.16666700Protection292582.897417.59300000.48Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Office for Project Services300000.48Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Office for Project ServicesXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/APC/UN/20166United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSince the Taliban took-over power in mid-August 2021, the protection environment in Afghanistan has remained volatile and UNHCR’s protection strategy (as well as the work of the Government and the wider humanitarian community) will need to be informed by evidence-based data on violations of human rights and international humanitarian law and the associated protection risks to the population. Information should be gathered through systematic, structured dialogue with individuals and communities of concern to ensure the centrality of protection, including through the work of the Protection Cluster. Protection monitoring is the most feasible way to increase UNHCR’s protection footprint and enable meaningful outreach by informing evidence-based programing and using the collected data for advocacy Through the use of joint monitoring tools and inter-agency procedures tailored to the capacity of actors in each respective location, UNHCR will continue to regularly collect, verify and analyze information to identify violations of rights and protection risks of people of concern, applying an AGD and community-based approach. Structured, participatory interaction with communities and individuals will be used as a primary method of collecting such information. Additionally, UNHCR will conduct rapid assessment, for the newly displaced IDPs and returnee IDPs in the places of origin to assist the vulnerable people based on the identified needs. Both directly and through its existing network of partners, UNHCR will continue to undertake protection monitoring in emergency, post-emergency and prolonged situations of displacement, maintaining a protection footprint in all regions of the country that are accessible, while using phone interview methodologies to monitor where access issues persist. Where humanitarian access is limited, UNHCR’s work will be complemented by the presence of other protection actors on the ground. Through capacity building of partners, the quality of protection information collection will improve allowing for more precise determination of trends and gaps in protection delivery in 2021. Well-established protection networks and partnerships will be reinforced by strengthened sub-regional clusters, resulting in improved monitoring, reporting and advocacy. Community-based protection monitoring will also constitute a basis for the design and implementation of life-saving assistance, identification of communities for UNHCR’s CBP and solution programme response (CO-PROSPER) projects, identification of Persons with Specific Needs and referrals to specialized services for vulnerable Afghans across the country. The information will be disseminated during the community mobilization activities and a whole of community approach will be applied, targeting all population groups. The objective of the project is to identify protection risks and concerns in communities through protection monitoring, in order to develop strategic advocacy efforts steered by the Protection Cluster as well as devise and implement evidence-based interventions to reduce the vulnerabilities of the community. Furthermore, through protection monitoring, UNHCR will identify vulnerable individuals in a community who will be referred to the Persons with Specific Needs (PSN) programme and other assistance programmes to mitigate and address the protection risks faced by the individual. The project will be implemented in Balkh, Bamiyan, Jalalabad, Kandahar, and Kabul provinces targeting IDPs (40,000), IDP returnees (40,000) and host community members (20,000).

The two cities have large numbers of vulnerable people requiring HLP assistance: according to the 2022 HNO, out of a total of 6 million people in HLP need around 1.6 million are in Kabul and Herat. Many of those in need are IDPs and returnees that live in extremely challenging conditions in urban informal settlements. According to REACH’s 2021 survey of informal IDP and returnee settlements, nearly 80 per cent are located in urban and peri-urban areas. Pervasive insecure HLP rights have resulted in frequent threats of eviction for these communities, and constrained humanitarian investments in lifesaving shelter and WASH, because neither communities nor humanitarian agencies can make long-term investments in the absence of secure HLP rights. The fall of the government has brought challenges and opportunities to securing HLP rights that this action directly responds to. A key challenge is that many legal frameworks that support individual ownership, such as the 2018 Land Management Law, are uncertain given the power transition that has occurred. A key opportunity is that many of the impediments to securing HLP rights were associated with the former government, including a reluctance to provide urban land to vulnerable groups and rather allocate it to well-connected individuals To respond to the current context, challenges and opportunities, the proposed project will utilize a community-centered approach to strengthening HLP rights in urban informal IDP and returnee settlements where insecure property rights have resulted in historic threats of eviction and barriers to humanitarian investment. In this way, the following activities will be implemented: 1. Communal land claims of 50,000 IDPs and returnees living in informal settlements in Kabul and Herat are documented and mapped maps are endorsed by Community Development Councils and/or Gozar Assemblies 2 Community-based settlement plans are developed for 6 informal settlements in Kabul and Herat and their priority humanitarian investments to upgrade communal infrastructure are actioned settlement plans and investments are endorsed by Community Development Councils and/or Gozar Assemblies 3 Coordination with community organizations and humanitarian agencies to extend shelter, infrastructure and service investments in informal settlements through development of a strategic plan. The three results will result in the projects key outcome: strengthened communal HLP rights for displaced people. First, documenting the socioeconomic aspects and mapping the spatial attributes of settlements, in coordination with Community Development Councils and/or Gozar Assemblies increases the legitimacy of informal settlements, hence strengthening their communal HLP rights. Developing a new settlement plan and implementing priority investments identified by the community consolidates informal settlements, strengthening communal HLP rights, as well as providing lifesaving essential services (e.g. drainage) to those most in need.

The targeted districts are rated high priority in the HRP 2021, were previously inaccessible and have limited child protection services. UNICEF will continue to work with the de facto authority at the local level and non-government partners to reach children and their communities affected by conflict and disasters with child protection lifesaving interventions. These include: the provision of Mental Health and Psychosocial (MHPSS) services family tracing and reunification (FTR) including supporting orphans that are abandoned in institutions prevention of killing and maiming of children through Explosive Ordinance Risk Education (EORE) and provision of case management, alternative care, referral to specialized services and other basic services (e.g. Health, vaccinations, safe drinking water, treatment for malnutrition). Cash assistance will form part of the case management of children at risk or victims of violations including grave violations. Sensitization and awareness raising on COVID-19 and other Child Protection (CP) issues in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) settlements and host communities will be an integral part of the proposal. During the project period, UNICEF will work with partners on sensitive programming to address sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) issues that are anticipated to arise due to the ongoing context, and find innovative modalities (including adopting of alternative terminologies) to provide services to children victims of SGBV. UNICEF will work with other sectors to integrate MHPSS and strengthen referral of the children (boys and girls) and women victims of GBV to appropriate health services and education services. UNICEF through other resources will extend its Multipurpose Cash Assistance, will ensure all the beneficiaries that are identified as the most vulnerable through the case management in this project will be supported. UNICEF will provide all needed technical and operational support based on its L3 mechanisms. UNICEF will facilitate the liquidity and cash whenever possible responding to the current situation. UNICEF is also negotiating access to beneficiaries with de facto authority. UNICEF strategize integrated programming the selected districts and provinces with education, health and social protection programme that will mitigate the risk of exposing NGOs who are merely working on child protection and implementing interventions related to sensitive programming like child recruitment and GBV.

IRC and OHW will support a total of 2,100 students through 60 Community Based Education (CBE) and Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) classes and 6,000 students by establishing temporary learning spaces where integration into existing formal schools is not possible or safe. Provision of teaching and learning materials for the influx of internally displaced persons (IDPs), children displaced by the conflict, both self-learning and those to be used in the Temporary Learning Space (TLS) or during small group activities will be carried out. The location of CBE and ALP classes will be selected in result of close coordination among IRC, OHW, being operationally present in the areas, implementing actors and relevant local authorities considering the highest number of displacements and Out Of School Children (OOSC) in both Helmand and Kandahar Provinces. The support packages will be distributed, and their utilization will be monitored during implementation in direct collaboration with local partner. Support materials will seek to reduce indirect costs associated with schooling and provide teachers with resources to improve the learning environment for children who have experienced disruptions and learning loss over the past year due to COVID-19 and the ongoing conflict. Distributions will target locations with no other outside support to ensure equitable access to learning resources in Helmand and Kandahar. IRC will operate in Helmand while OHW will conduct activities in Kandahar. IRC will oversee partner implementation in Kandahar through a combination of remote monitoring “visits” for program verification from the Kabul-based team, as well as regular and ongoing progress monitoring and feedback from national and provincial (Helmand) teams. IRC will submit 5W monthly reports to EiE WG through the reporthub for both Kandahar and Helmand provinces.

These TLS’ will run two sessions per day, morning and afternoon, each serving classes of 30 children, boys and girls and in total reach 2,400 children (1,200 girls, 1,200 boys). Children reached will be those affected by emergencies and need immediate assistance to access recreation and learning environments. A whole-community approach will be taken, ensuring that not only IDP children are reached but also those from vulnerable host communities, that without EIE support, would not enroll in school. 80 Learning Facilitators, 40 women and 40 men, will be recruited from within the supported communities and trained to MOE and EIEWG standards. Each TLS will be established within tents or community assigned buildings, and where possible and appropriate, attached to Hub Schools to support eventual transition for students to formal educational institutions. All 40 TLS will be set up with EIEWG standard classroom kits, recreation kits, teacher kits, hand-washing stations, heating solutions, and textbook and learning kits for children, as well as warm winter clothing. Schools that are not attached to Hub Schools will also be provided with latrines (estimated 30 TLS). Building on the experience and knowledge of MOE, EIWG, and other EIE partners, PIN will establish and train team members on the required tools, policies, and procedures for quality implementation, efforts will be made for a gender balanced team, appropriate in the given context. PIN will fill a critical gap in existing education access not already being met by MOE or other EIE implementers and will compliment and extend MOE’s CBE strategy. Children attending the TLS will be receive access to regular and structured recreational opportunities, PSS activities, and basic literacy and numeracy support.

War Child Canada proposes an Education in Emergency project to respond this need to ensure children from IDP families can access education and continue learning in a safe and enabling environment. The project aims to reach 6,400 children with 50% girls in four suburbs PD-12, PD-13, and PD-17 and Bargami district of Kabul province. The project will establish 130 Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS), at the MoE schools, 40 Community Based Education (CBE) classes and will engage 170 TLS and CBE teachers with at least 50% women. In addition, the project will also complement the ongoing procedures on protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) by ensuring that boys and girls, teachers and parent are protected from being sexually exploited and abused by engaging with and strengthening existing community-based protection systems as well as capacity building of School Management Shura (SMS) particularly in PSEA policy implementation. Teachers will be oriented to refer children for professional mental health support services if required. The project will engage School Management Shuras (SMS) in mobilization and sensitization of communities by conducting awareness raising sessions on the importance of education and the EiE response – SMS will organize school enrollment campaigns in their communities to ensure out of school children are registered at TLS/ CBE classes to continue learning. The proposed action also aims to integrate COVID-19 preventive measures in accordance with the guidelines of the Ministry of Public Health, WHO and War Child Canada’s own protocols. Schools and learning spaces will be provided necessary protective material (face masks and sanitizers) and social distancing will be ensured for all in person activities. Another component of this project will work on creating a protective environment both at school and at home through establishment and training of Community Based Protection Mechanisms whose role will be to educate, monitor and champion child protection in the community.War Child CanadaWar Child CanadaAfghanistan Humanitarian FundNayat KarimCountry Director+93766558319 +923077773010karim@warchild.caWaseeullah MujaddidiHead of Programs+93766710361wmujaddidi@warchild.caKhadija MohammadiEducation Program Manager+93766 710 345khadija@warchild.caKabul34.53333300 69.16666700Education50035.96557067.05607103.01Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWar Child Canada364261.81Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWar Child Canada242841.20Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWar Child Canada1634.24War Child CanadaUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/EIE/INGO/20153United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe proposed project enables essential access to education for a critically underserved group of 7200 out of school children [3600 boys and 3600 girls aged 6 to 10] in Baghlan and Bamyan which are among top 5 provinces hosting conflict induced displaced families in 2021. As per our rapid assessments at Bamyan and Baghlan conducted in August, 49% of Households reported that their children do not go to school. The absence of schools in close proximity, cultural practices which deprioritize education and lack of security are some of the primary reasons cited by respondents during the rapid assessment survey. Under these conditions, 240 CBEs, each for 30 children, will be established and equipped with as many trained teachers, teaching and learning materials and safety, security and hygiene supplies. CiC has recent experience in implementing AHF and GPE funded Education and Child protection projects in Bamyan and Baghlan. Currently CiC has the mandate to provide education services for 15,000 children in 6 Hard to Reach districts of Baghlan namely Pul-e-Khumri, Baghlan-e-Jadid,Dahana-e-Ghori, Burqa, Nahreen, Doshee. In Bamyan, Children in Crisis ensured provision of case management and MHPSS services to 1043 children and women during the last winter season and were able to establish, train and facilitate the running of 14 community child protection shuras in the districts of Bamyan, Shibar, Panjab, Yakawlang districts under the AHF funded Winterization Assistance Project [244k USD/6m/AHF]. Children in Crisis will further conduct community outreach to include child rights training for community representatives and community advocacy to encourage demand for education, in particular, for girls. In addition, CiC project coordinators will establish 240 community Shuras in both provinces. Community members will receive key messages on education of children, particularly girls, child protection, and child health through Shura members. The proposed project leverages significant experience and expertise in education and protection programmes that Children in Crisis has established over its 25 years in Afghanistan. In particular, it seeks to streamline and scale the successful Children in Crisis community-centered education model from 2011 to 2018, multiple iterations of this model have demonstrated excellent potential for replication and significant scaling. An AHF funded programme offers an excellent opportunity to adopt and adapt our proven approach to an area of high need, whilst complementing our existing capabilities in Uruzgan, Baghlan and Zabul and enhancing our operational effectiveness and efficiencies in Afghanistan. A recent external study conducted by Accelerated Education Working Group (AEWG) of Community Based Education Centers of CiC demonstrates that this CiC model is strongly linked to the globally accepted principles of effective practice . An internal study of recent cohorts of CiC’s accelerated education program also show better learning outcomes (95% of students completed and certified) and higher rates of transition and retention into the state secondary system (90% of students transferred 86% retained after a year and 68% retained after two years) (CIC 2017). The project seeks to ensure that the vulnerable conflict and crisis-affected children enrolled in the project are safe and learning through Interventions around Access ,Gender Equality, Equity and Inclusion, Continuity of Learning, Quality Learning ,Child Protection and Safeguarding. Among the proposed interventions, the project has a strong focus on Quality Learning. With prior experience of implementing Afghan Children Read (ACR) courseware, the proposed project, through the social workers, is well placed to train, monitor and coach teachers on a monthly basis so that the teaching practices improve over time and are based on pedagogical practices which have been proven to be impactful.

The project focuses on ensuring access to inclusive, safe and quality education to the targeted out of school children through establishment of Temporary Learning Spaces (TLSs) and Community Based Education (CBE) classes in the targeted host communities, returnees, internally displaced people (IDP). The project will also build the capacity of 250 teachers (at least 50% female) (formal schools and TLSs classes) on education in teaching methodology and child protection (i.e. psycho-social support, children safeguarding support on displacement and abuse free environment for children etc.). Additionally, the training will also involve capacity building of thirty educational personal on EiE information management system including preparedness and response planning and strengthened capacity to fulfill their responsibility. The project will also establish, and support 250 TLSs classes facilitated by 250 teachers with priority to hire and train more female teachers (at least 50% female teachers). The project will provide 7500 (3750 girls) out of school children with quality, inclusive and protective basic education opportunity. Through this project AREP in coordination with stakeholders will target around 500 smaller urban or rural settlements where IDPs and returnee’s including host community are settled and will establish a school Shura per center to improve students and teacher’s attendance, security, child protection, inclusiveness, functionality and quality education. Each School Shura will have 5-7 member with a priority to female activists and they will be oriented about their role and responsibility. Standards of quality education will be met through following Ministry of Education (MoE)’s curriculum text books and equipping the planned number of teachers with methodology skills, teacher kits to effectively facilitate the teaching and learning process, and provision of spaces to at least meet the minimum standards identified through Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergency (INEE), EiE Teacher Training Manual and MoE standardized teacher training manual (TTM). The project will facilitate access to quality inclusive education in a safe environment for the targeted out of school children for one year who will be encouraged, enrolled and registered to Afghanistan education system in case required capacity are available in nearest government school. The project will also enable them to pursue their education beyond the project duration by issuing them the roll (asaas) number. Based on the project exit strategy they will be mainstreamed to the existing formal education system to ensure these children continue their education beyond the project either in their place of origin or in their existing residence areas. In order to meet the need of entire out of school children in the targeted areas, AREP will also address needs of disabled children through providing special education materials and create enabling environment within the classes or in case there are sufficient number of children in each disabled category special classes will be establish to serve those children through sign language and brail and the required and updated support will be received from specialty school supported by other NGOs and government.

Each year, freezing winter temperatures, especially in high altitude locations drive the need for the provision of life-saving winter assistance as the majority of the affected persons do not have the financial capability to purchase items to support them during the harsh winter season. To reach the most vulnerable families, Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) has designed the lifesaving proposed project, which will be implemented in Bamyan, Panjab, Yakawlang, Waras, Kahmard, Shibar, Sayghan districts of Bamyan province. The proposed location for the winterization intervention is because of the vulnerability of the area to extreme winter conditions (temperature goes down to -12 degrees C) from November to March every year. The local economy is also very weak because of remoteness and the short crop season. Poor people cannot afford heating, blankets, winter clothes during the winter season while income goes down and family expenditure increases. The proposed project aims to ensure that 810 poorest and most vulnerable households, 5670 individuals (Men-1,152, Women-1,152, Boys- 1,728, and girls-1,728) are protected from harsh winter conditions through winterization assistance. In accordance with the joint winterization strategy, IRW will implement a complimentary response and provide a combined package of heating support and in-kind assistance to the same beneficiaries to holistically address multiple needs and to reduce the incentive to sell-off winterization assistance to purchase other needs. The project will follow both the voucher and the in-kind distribution modalities. In-kind has been chosen for the clothes and blanket distribution so as to ensure the best value for money and thus ability to reach more families. After confirmation from the community through focus group discussions, winter clothing kit as per ESNFI standard kit and standard blankets will be procured and initial market assessments suggest that by buying clothes and blankets in bulk from the provincial or national level will allow IRW to purchase more clothes for distribution than would be available at the district level through voucher provision. Vouchers have been chosen for the gas distribution so as to allow families to reimburse their vouchers at a time that suits them and as opposed to having to wait for a monthly distribution. Each household will receive the ESNFI standard Winterization Package of 1x $20 value voucher for Gas Cylinder and 3 x $60 value vouchers for gas over a period of 3 months. All vouchers will be distributed in one installment and will have a four month period of validity. Specific vendors will be contacted at the district level following standard IRW procurement procedures. The project will reimburse the vouchers' value to the vendors after verification. The target households will be selected based on the pre-defined set of criteria that prioritizes the most vulnerable households. Preference will be given to women-headed households, widows, orphaned families, elderly, people with a disability or chronic illness and people with low income. IRW will involve all sections of the target population (women, girls, men, boys, people with disabilities, and the elderly) through a participatory and inclusive approach. IRW will ensure that a complaints feedback mechanism is fully functional. IRW will closely work with the ESNFI cluster and relevant authorities to implement the project effectively and on time. IRW will also follow the “Do No Harm” principle that guides to ensure beneficiaries’ security and safety.Islamic Relief WorldwideIslamic Relief WorldwideAfghanistan Humanitarian FundDr. Saydul AlomCountry Director+93764217832Saydul.Alom@irworldwide.orgMohammad Golam SorwarHead of Programmes+93772647371Sorwar.Mohammad@irworldwide.orgMuhammad Abubakr MirzaFinance Manager +93780960641Muhammad.Abubakr@irworldwide.orgBamyan34.90732960 67.18944880Emergency Shelter and NFI123309.76186677.27309987.03Afghanistan Humanitarian FundIslamic Relief Worldwide154993.52Afghanistan Humanitarian FundIslamic Relief Worldwide130845.21Afghanistan Humanitarian FundIslamic Relief WorldwideXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/ESNFI/INGO/20072United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe Allocation Strategy Paper for the 3rd Reserve Allocation of 2021 details a complex set of needs among vulnerable populations. Intensifying conflict, drought in various parts of the country, and the Covid-19 pandemic have led to widespread illness and mortality, a deep economic recession, and starkly reduced income opportunities in these provinces, which in turn has depleted productive assets and reduced communities’ capacity to cope with shocks. Afghanaid’s recent needs assessment (attached as an annex) found that the vast majority of households in Ghor and Daykundi are unable to cover their basic needs and require urgent assistance to cover their shelter and heating needs over the winter season, which is especially long and harsh in these provinces. In line with ESNFI cluster priorities communicated to cluster partners, Afghanaid proposes to provide crucial shelter and heating assistance to 1062 vulnerable households (800 HHs cash for heating, 262 HHs cash for rent) in Ferozkoh, Ghor, and 450 households (350 HHs cash for heating, 100 HHs cash for rent) in Nili, Daykundi, which the cluster has selected as priority locations for this allocation. Based on communities’ preferences and a recent market assessment, Afghanaid proposes cash as the modality for this response. In Ghor, the intervention will provide 800 households in Ferozkoh with a ESNFI cluster standard cash for heating kit with a value of US$200 per household, and an additional 262 households with cash for shelter rent totaling US$225 per household covering at least three months of rent. In Nili, Afghanaid will provide 350 households in Nili with cash for heating (at US$200 per household) and an additional 100 households with cash for rent (at US$225 per household) which will cover at least three months of rent. Afghanaid will establish participant selection and distribution committees including representatives from local communities, such as the leaders of Community Development Councils (CDCs) and District Development Assemblies (DDAs), representatives of the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) and the Deportment of Refugees and Repatriations (DoRR), and Afghanaid. Participants will be selected according to ESNFI vulnerability criteria to ensure the vulnerable households most acutely in need are targeted, including displaced households, women-headed households and households with a large number of dependent children. The project team will work with Etisalat’s established mHawala service in both provinces to distribute the cash assistance from central distribution points in two tranches. Participants with limited mobility will be brought to the distribution point or receive the assistance at home. Afghanaid is well placed to implement this project, with over 19 years of continuous presence in Ghor and several years in Daykundi, current operations in both target districts and excellent access and strong relationships with communities as well as district and provincial authorities. Afghanaid has extensive experience in humanitarian programming, with current and recent humanitarian assistance projects in multiple provinces including Ghor and Daykundi, funded by AHF, WFP, and FAO. These projects include emergency food, livelihoods, winterization, and shelter assistance, using both in-kind and cash modalities. This intervention is expected to provide 10,584 vulnerable men, women, boys and girls with crucial shelter and heating assistance, helping target households meet their basic needs, reducing illness and mortality, and increasing participants’ capacity to rebuild their livelihoods by avoiding the sale of productive assets so that they are more resilient against future shocks. With the new administration potentially affecting the implementation of humanitarian projects, Afghanaid will actively engage local IEA actors to explain that we can only implement the project if we are given approval to employ and target womenAFGHANAIDAFGHANAIDAfghanistan Humanitarian FundJohannes JansenProgramme Development Officer+93728630493jjansen@afghanaid.org.ukNajibullah NamiqGrants and Partnership Development Manager+93799733944najeebullah@afghanaid.org.ukAyub KhanDeputy Director of Finance Administration+93790897166akhan@afghanaid.org.ukZodiac Maslin-HahnDirector of Programme Development+442035596647zmhahn@afghanaid.org.ukDaykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Emergency Shelter and NFI237333.22207666.57444999.79Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID355999.83Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID88999.96Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID358.85AFGHANAIDUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/ESNFI/INGO/20120United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe confluence of conflict and COVID-19 has left thousands of people unable to face Afghanistan’s freezing winter temperatures. Over a quarter of a million people have become displaced since last winter and now lack essential NFIs for winter survival. Additionally, the economic devastation of the pandemic has left highly vulnerable communities in the mountains without access to heating and fuel, especially in mountainous areas where temperatures reach as low as minus 17 degrees. This shock risks pushing families into adopting negative coping mechanisms. To respond to this crisis, Concern Worldwide is proposing urgent winterization support for 690 IDPs in Kunduz city as well as 200 returnees or host communities in some of the most frigid and underserved areas of Badakhshan – 100 households in Kohistan and 100 households in Tagab districts. In addition to being areas of acute, unmet need prioritized by the cluster, these are also areas where Concern has experience with similar projects, either last year or ongoing, and therefore has the access and organizational capacity to respond, as well as strong relationships with other humanitarian actors there. Concern aims to respond to the winterization needs of IDPs and other vulnerable communities in Kunduz and Badakhshan provinces through providing in-kind winter clothes and blankets for 690 IDPs in Kunduz city and at risk returnees and host communities of 100 households in Kohistan and 100 households in Tagab districts coupled with cash assistance for heating apparatuses (gas cylinder/ Bukhari stove) to the value of $20 and fuel for three months (180Kg of either firewood or LPG) to the value of $180, for a total package of $200 in accordance with cluster standards. The use of cash for heating and fuel support for 680 families in Kunduz city, 100 families in Tagab and 100 families in Kohistan will provide the flexibility to select their most appropriate appliances for their specific shelter type and is backed by recent market assessments and PDMs, while also being in line with cluster standards. To maximize efficiency, all support will be delivered in a single instalment, and while it is intended that the packages will be delivered jointly, households who do not meet the criteria for winterization packages in the district will receive only the relevant assistance. During assessments and distributions, Concern will mainstream COVID-19 risk communication and awareness messaging and materials―including COVID-19 kits and hygiene promotion ―as well as gender-sensitive behavioral change messaging to positively influence expenditure choices and coping strategies. Since the distribution is conducted in an enclosed space during winter, Concern will limit the number of beneficiaries per distribution and will provide masks to beneficiaries as well as project staff. Sanitizers will be procured for use by beneficiaries and staff during the distribution. Gender, age, and disability considerations will be integrated as much as possible to ensure the response is inclusive to all segments of a community, particularly People with Specific Needs (PSNs). The winterization response will pay special attention to children, the elderly, chronically ill, or those with limited mobility to deliver lifesaving insulation support to the most at-risk groups.

The Aga Khan Agency for Habitat Afghanistan (AKAH-A) aims to support the most vulnerable communities in Wardoj and Zebak districts of BDK with Non-Food Items (NFIs) and winterization packages. To assess the various risks to local communities residing in specific target areas, AKAH-A developed a comprehensive hazard and vulnerability methodology (HVRA), using a set of critical indicators which address proximity and access, exposure to hazards and vulnerability of households. This year AKAH-A developed a specific HVRA report for the target districts (see annexes). To date, more than 776 villages have undergone such assessments. Additionally, AKAH-A conducted a market assessment (see annexes) in BDK’s border districts in December 2020 with data available on KoBoCollect. All potential suppliers and vendors and the project’s available local markets have been identified. For this specific project, a general assessment of the market situation was conducted by discussing with district officials and vendors regarding their provision capacity for winterization support as well as voucher distribution capacity for beneficiaries. 655 most vulnerable families (4,585 people) living across 78 villages (24 in Zebak and 54 in Wardoj) have been identified as eligible for this project. The intervention oversees the provision of standard ESNFI winterization items, specifically, 1) cash assistance for fuel, 2) standard emergency winter clothes and blankets, and 3) cash assistance for rent. Aid during AKAH-A’s 2020 winterization project was fully through paper vouchers printed in Kabul and proved to be very effective and transparent. There will be specific AKAH-A codes or numbers on each voucher which will limit the possibility of fraud or reselling. The design will be given to the printing press along with the number of vouchers required. The heating component will be cash distribution through vouchers. During the very harsh winters and cold weather, locals have been mostly cutting down the forests for firewood as their often-inexistent salaries have rendered them dependent on the forest, which has overtime negatively impacted the environment. Through this heating package, AKAH-A will provide each family with $200 to be used to purchase correctly sourced wood or gas. In the remote areas like Zebak and Wardoj, 90% of the population uses firewood, animal dung and locally available materials instead of gas and fuel. Additionally, rental market assessments will be carried out to link vulnerable families to safer shelters and cash for rental assistance through vouchers will be provided once the rental agreements have been signed. The beneficiary selection and distribution will be undertaken in close cooperation with ANDMA, provincial level cluster partners at the regional level and district authorities, including CDCs. The process will be thoroughly monitored and reported to stakeholders. In terms of protection and monitoring, AKAH-A will create a feedback loop for the project through its long-standing partnership with AWAAZ. This will be in addition to AKAH-A’s 24/7 call centre used for any communication and coordination between the local stakeholders and the agency. Wardoj: 3177 people (1621M/ 1556F) or 454 HH will receive cash assistance for fuel through vouchers, standard emergency winter clothes and blankets. Of these 454 HH, 1057 people (151 HH) will get cash for rent through vouchers. Zebak: 1408 people (718M/ 690F) or 201 HH will receive cash assistance for fuel through vouchers, standard emergency winter clothes and blankets. Of these 201HH, 469 people (67 HH) will get cash for rent through vouchers.Aga Khan Agency for HabitatAga Khan Agency for HabitatAfghanistan Humanitarian Fund Planning and Program Senior Program Manageralinazar.nazari@akdn.orgAli Nazar NazariAhmad Fahim ShahabProgram Officer +93795653207ahmad.fahim@akdn.org Resource MobilizationSenior Programs Managermaia.ramzan@akdn.orgMaia RamzanBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Emergency Shelter and NFI123504.29195842.52319346.81Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAga Khan Agency for Habitat159673.41Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAga Khan Agency for Habitat150014.55Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAga Khan Agency for Habitat603.52Aga Khan Agency for HabitatUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/ESNFI/INGO/20122United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe full impact of the recent takeover of power by the Taliban on humanitarian needs is not yet clear. However, because of the high level of conflict during the past months, civilian casualties, and displacement reported until date have been considerably higher than previously, humanitarian needs including ESNFI needs are likely to have increased significantly. Assessments in Kunduz in July and Nangarhar in June and July, conducted prior to the Taliban take-over, confirm the gaps and needs mentioned in the ESNFI 3rd reserve allocation and are in line with the HRP 2021 and ESNFI cluster allocation priorities. Needs are multi-sectoral and exacerbated by the escalating conflict and COVID-19, driving up prices and increasing food insecurity. In the selected provinces, the conflict has caused wide-scale loss of lives and livelihoods, including abandoned fields, destroyed houses and infrastructure. Because of the conflict people were also unable to harvest. In Kunduz 95.5% of HH have a LCS ‘emergency’, lack NFIs as none of the HH reportedly had sufficient NFIs. Most of the interviewed people were living in make-shift shelters, increasing protection and health risks. In Nangarhar, there is a high need for shelter upgrades and NFIs as 93% and 76% of the people respectively still require shelter and NFI assistance. People lack jobs and there are limited livelihood opportunities and cannot afford to meet their daily basic needs. Previous assessments showed there were no HH NFIs. The take-over by the Taliban will reduce the conflict and some people will return to their place of origin. However, people’s reserves have been depleted long before and those returning tot their damaged shelter will not be able to afford repairs. With many people still living in makeshift shelters, and unable to return need urgent assistance. The lean season and winter are arriving in 3 months, and temperatures will drop well below zero in Kunduz in particular, making people even more vulnerable, especially women (incl. PLW), children, PWD and people with (chronical) illness. People need assistance now, enabling them to overcome the shock or return to their place of origin when possible, and get prepared for winter. In line with the AHF 3rd RA Strategy, HRP 2018-2021 SO1 and SO3, Cordaid together with partners RRAA and OWH propose to provide cash for shelter repair/ upgrade and cash for NFIs in priority areas Kunduz and Nangarhar. In Kunduz (Kunduz City, Khan Abad, Ali Abad) Cordaid and OHW will target with cash for repair 330 HH with category B damaged houses, and 240 HH with category C damaged houses. 660 HH will receive cash for NFIs. In Nangarhar (Achin, Speen Ghar, Nazyan), 220 HH with category B and 160 HH with category C damaged houses will be targeted by Cordaid and RRAA. And 440 HH will receive cash for NFIs. Following the ESNFI cluster recommended standard modalities, HH with category B damaged houses will receive $500 in 2 instalments and HH with category C damaged houses will receive $300 in 2 instalments as well. The level of damage is assessed by using a shelter score card. Selected cash for NFI HH will receive $105 in one transfer. The cash will be delivered in local currency through a FSP in the form of cash in envelop delivery mechanism (if banks and FSP are operational). The project is designed based on recent assessments and presence in both areas, showing clear needs and gaps for the proposed assistance. Cordaid and partners have been providing assistance in both areas already and are in coordination with other organisations. To avoid overlap and duplication, Cordaid and partners will coordinate the proposed response with other organisations on the ground, through its participation with ECHO ERM and UNOCHA including the clusters. This will also ensure complementarity of activities as people have multiple needs. Cordaid and partners will follow the Joint Operating Principles (annex 10) in the delivery of the assistance.

The project will be implemented in a context greatly changed by sudden takeover of control by Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan (IEA) in all implementation areas nevertheless, there will be a strong focus on protection risk sensitivity and protection mainstreaming, multi-sector integration, and consultation with and participation of affected communities, including women and girls. All activities are closely aligned with the updated HRP 2021, 2021 Joint Winterization Strategy, and the and AHF cluster allocation strategy for the AHF 3RA. Specifically, in Nangahar and Kunar DRC will respond to gaps identified by the ES/NFI cluster in response to conflict-displaced IDPs, while in Kabul, Zabul, Maidan Wardak, and Parwan, DRC will target targeting natural disaster and conflict affected displaced people and members of host communities, prioritizing those who face critical exposure to the elements through lack of adequate shelter, and have critical multi-sector needs as well as lack of income to afford fuel/heating themselves.

Before the winter season starts, 350 households in Gardez district of Paktia (250) and Sharana district of Paktika province (100) will receive USD75 x 3 months as “Conditional Cash for Rental Support” per household in one installment. While 600 households will receive USD200 per HH as “Cash for Gas Cylinder and Fuel Assistance” and in-kind blanket package (Equivalent to 40 USD) as one time assistance in Ghazni amp Jaghori districts of Ghazni province, Gardez district of Paktia province, and Sharana amp Orgun districts of Paktika province, where 120 HHs will be targeted in each target district. Considering the actual needs on the ground and the assumptions in place, the project will seek to target 90% of conflict affected population including IDPs and non-displaced, and 10% of host community households. As an active member of OCTs and other coordination forums in target locations, WSTA will closely coordinate the assessment/beneficiary selection, distribution and other activities of the project with new government, UN agencies, INGOs, NNGOs and other stakeholders to avoid duplication in response, and to address transparency and accountability within the overall process. The cluster recommended tools will be used for data collection, analysis and reporting while we will put additional tools to collect more segregated data as per Age, Gender and Diversity (AGD) approach. Women headed households, child headed households, elderly headed households, survivors of GBV and other protection incidents will be prioritized for the assistance if the needs were higher than the available resources. We will closely work with government line departments, beneficiary representatives and other stakeholders to identify and select our distribution points in target provinces, which shall be safe and accessible for men, women, children, elderly and persons with disability with enough facilitation in place. The COVID-19 protocols will be strictly applied throughout the implementation process to ensure safety of our staff, beneficiaries and stakeholders. Project visibility, reporting to cluster, AHF and government will be properly managed as per the requirements of each organization. We will use the services of AWAAZ Afghanistan and our internal hotline number to register the complaints and will ensure that the target communities receive our complaint leaflets during the assessments and distribution. We will also position a help desk at community level during the distribution processes to ensure the beneficiaries/affected population of concern can register their complaints and raise their concerns in real-time. With the support of OCT members and other winterization service providers at provincial level, we will form a distribution committee to avoid duplication and to further address transparency and accountability within the distribution process. The cash assistance will be delivered to the beneficiaries by contracted Financial Service Provider (FSP) in the presence of joint distribution committee members while the in-kind assistance will be distributed by our field team through selected distribution points. Our MampE and Project Control units will regularly monitor, evaluate and verify the project activities to improve the quality of our work, exercising a comprehensive lessons learned, and to address compliance. As thousands of families are on the move due to recent crisis in the country, the cash for rental support is considered conditional and unrestricted to ensure they have flexibility in their movements especially concerning their protection.

Authorities initially reported around 35,000 people had been displaced due to armed conflict in Khanabad and Aliabad districts in Kunduz province since 22 May. Between 22 May and 16 June, 35,000 people were assessed, and some 22,000 people have been verified as needing humanitarian assistance. Food, water, non-food items, hygiene kits and WASH assistance are the most urgent needs for the affected people. Distributions of humanitarian assistance are underway, reaching over 7,000 people so far. Fleeing with nothing more than personal possessions, many of these IDPs remain vulnerable. The situation is more pronounced for people staying outside in open spaces who are at risk of additional health and protection concerns. (Reference: UNOCHA Flash Update No.2 dated 16 June 2021) Affected IDPs and host communities from Conflict and Natural disaster in the Kunduz as mentioned in the need assessment survey report are living in open spaces and damaged shelters expose to protection hazards and upcoming harsh winter. In the said targeted area there are the high vulnerability level in the targeted areas and need support in order to increase the coping mechanism and reduce suffering in the upcoming winter 2021 - 2022. An estimated huge number of HHs were internally and externally displaced due to recent conflict and natural disaster (Drought) within/from the districts. Some of them have already returned back to their place of origin but due to the shrinkage of the existing resources they face critical issues and are severely vulnerable to the upcoming winter especially children, women, and people with disability and people with poor economic condition. Due to the limited resources, remoteness and accessibility, most people live in dire poverty. This project focuses on three key elements of OCHR’s emergency shelter program that are aligned with and included in the 2018-2021 Humanitarian Response Plan, including, (1) Cash for up-grading shelters for 205 HHs, integrated with (2) Cash for Rent (CfR) for 100 households in the north east region complimentary to shelter up-grading and also (3) Distribution of 900 ES/NFI Cluster standard winter assistance packages (blankets and winter clothing) to increase the coping mechanism and reduce suffering in the upcoming winter 2021 – 2022. This project will reach to 1205 HHs affected by conflict and natural disaster including IDPs returned to the place of origin as well as affected non-displaced HHs in Kunduz city, Char Dara and Qala-e-Zal districts of Kunduz province. The cash for shelter up-grading assistance will be provided to IDPs returned to the place of origin and non-displaced affected HHs, the CfR assistance will be provided to IDP HHs only, and Standard winter assistance packages will be provided to most vulnerable affected HHs expose to upcoming harsh winter. OCHR will select the target beneficiaries in a transparent manner to ensure that the most affected receive the assistance. The selection will be done in the presence of the community elders, local authorities and UNOCHA office based in Kunduz. OCHA is a coordinating body at regional there and OCHR experiences reveals that coordination with OCHA specifically help in avoiding duplication of the response. The project duration will be 6 months. OCHR’s goal is to empower people to live with dignity, able to respond successfully to disasters, risks, and opportunities. the experience of implementing various emergency response projects in the region, and knowledge in technical and managerial issues will give an extra advantage to OCHR in implementing this project. OCHR rolled out a similar ongoing project from START-FUND UK in Kunduz province providing ES/NFI items, Food, Nutrition and WASH assistance to 500 IDPs HHs. The project is recently completed on 20 Aug 2021.

The strategic objectives of the HRP focus on "lives are saved in the areas of highest needs." The multiple challenges facing the people of Afghanistan in spring 2021, including La Niña-induced climatic anomalies, intensifying conflict, new and protracted internal displacement, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, are exacerbating the pre-existing needs and vulnerabilities of millions of Afghans already dealing with the consequences of 40 years of war. The main purpose of the 3rd RA is to address and enable a timely, coordinated, urgent, and strictly needs-based humanitarian response. Further to respond to intersectoral potential needs holistically and calls for an integrated response with ES-NFI, FSAC, Nutrition, Education, Protection, Health, and WASH to mitigate the multiple and overlapping challenges facing the people of Afghanistan due to the intensifying conflict and ongoing COVID-19 challenges. The recent ‘Whole of Afghanistan Assessment’ (WoAA) revealed that 81% of Internally Displaced People(IDP) do not have adequate heating sources during winter, and 60% do not even have one blanket per person. In the 3rd Reserved Allocation, 18,389 families are in dire need of Emergency NFI Kits, particularly 5,143 families in Kunduz province and 583 families in Takhar province. ORD intends to provide NFI standard kits for 2,221 conflict-affected IDPs in Kunduz (Kunduz) and 583 families in Takhar (Taloqan). ORD has had a strong presence since 2018 and has delivered emergency responses. Currently, ORD is delivering cash assistance for People with Specific Needs (PSN) and NFI for recently displaced people in the partnership of UNHCR. In the current RA3-2021, ORD submitted a proposal to FSAC for Agriculture support and cash for food as ORD is pre-selected by the FSAC cluster and is in the allocation strategy. With this RA3 ES-NFI, the response will be holistic and multi-cluster and will scale up and fill the ORD's current response gap. ORD will ensure that the most vulnerable people in need are among the affected population groups prioritized for this action and 2,804 HHs (19,628 individuals) following ES-NFI cluster standards for conflict-affected people to respond to their NFI needs. ORD will use specific ES-NFI standard vulnerability criteria to identify the extremely vulnerable among the affected population. ORD will closely coordinate with the regional ES-NFI cluster, UNOCHA, and other partners for the identification of target communities and groups to avoid duplication. ORD project team will establish Beneficiary Selection Committees (BSCs) that will conduct a door-to-door assessment using the vulnerability assessment tool and select the beneficiaries based on the cluster standard criteria. In addition, ORD will provide this response in kind due to the NFI kit's standard item unavailability and market dysfunctionality. The beneficiary selection will be carried out using certain structured questionnaire/scorecard tools, which are usually being shared by the ES-NFI cluster for each modality. in case it is not available, ORD will develop a questionnaire and will coordinate it with the cluster and after their approval, we will use that tool for assessment and beneficiary selection. For the distribution of NFI Kits, ORD will provide a unique identification card to each eligible recipient, and in order to prevent any delay or problems in distribution, we will authorize an alternative person to receive the assistance. Furthermore, the project teams will carry out PDM, and ORD MEAL will perform additional verification by phone and as well share the beneficiary profile with AWAAZ Afghanistan for further accountability.

IOM will coordinate closely with partners with assistance in the same target provinces, including (but not limited to) DRC in Kabul, CWW in Takhar, and ORD, OCHR, CONCERN and CWW in Kunduz.International Organization for MigrationInternational Organization for MigrationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundGul Mohammad Ahmadi Program Manager+93 79 065 9573Gahmadi@iom.int David MavengereSenior Resource Management Officer+251929001380dmavengere@iom.intSusan PriceProject Development Officer+93794795117sprice@iom.intBaghlan35.80429470 69.28775350Ghazni33.55000000 68.41666700Kabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kunar34.84658930 71.09731700Kunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Emergency Shelter and NFI304442.271005746.771310189.04Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for Migration1310189.04Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for MigrationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/FSAC/INGO/20024United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSignificantly lower than average precipitation, intensifying conflict dynamics, and ongoing waves of Covid-19 infections have led to a crisis situation in Ghor province, which has seen widespread illness and mortality, a deep economic recession, and starkly reduced income opportunities as a result. The ICCT Spring Disaster Contingency Plan already noted Ghor as a high priority province, and the situation in the province continues to be severe as indicated by the latest IPC Acute Food Insecurity Analysis Report (issued in April 2021), food security is unlikely to improve in the near future, as IPC projects that Ghor will be in Phase 4 (Emergency) for the June-November period, and the approaching lean season will reduce income opportunities and food availability even further. Communities are already faced with depleted productive assets and reduced capacity to cope with shocks ahead of the winter season the FSAC Pre-Lean Season Assessment indicates that communities have faced more shocks and are more vulnerable than last year, with a large portion of households reporting reduced agricultural production. In line with FSAC priorities detailed in the Allocation Strategy Paper, Afghanaid proposes to provide crucial agricultural support in the form of in-kind wheat seed, fertilizer and vegetable seed packages for 3771 vulnerable households in Dolayna, Dawlatyar and Lal wa Sarjangal districts of Ghor province. The participant selection criteria will follow FSAC beneficiary selection priorities, focusing specifically on women-headed households, people with disabilities, and households with decreased or disrupted incomes. The full set of selection criteria will be agreed on by the participant selection committee detailed below. In line with FSAC instructions, FAO will provide the wheat seed and fertilizer packages for this response, whereas the vegetable seed packages will be procured by Afghanaid. Afghanaid will establish participant selection and distribution committees including representatives from local communities, such as the leaders of Community Development Councils (CDCs) and District Development Assemblies (DDAs), representatives of local government such as the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) and the Deportment of Refugees and Repatriations (DoRR), and Afghanaid. The distribution committee will oversee the distribution of assistance at centrally located, easily accessible distribution points. The committee will verify that assistance is only given to selected beneficiaries. Participants with limited mobility will be brought to the distribution point or receive the assistance at home. Afghanaid is well placed to implement this project, with over 19 years of continuous presence in Ghor, recent operations in all target districts and excellent access and strong relationships with communities as well as district and provincial authorities. Afghanaid has extensive experience in humanitarian programming, with current and recent humanitarian assistance projects in multiple provinces including Ghor, funded by AHF, WFP and FAO. These projects include emergency food, livelihoods, winterization, and shelter assistance responses, using both in-kind and cash modalities. This intervention will provide 26,400 men, women, boys and girls with crucial agricultural assistance, helping target households meet their basic needs, reducing illness and mortality, and increasing participants’ capacity to rebuild their livelihoods and avoid the sale of productive assets so that they are more resilient against future shocks.AFGHANAIDAFGHANAIDAfghanistan Humanitarian FundJohannes JansenProgramme Development Officer+93728630493jjansen@afghanaid.org.ukNajibullah NamiqGrants and Partnership Development Manager+93799733944najeebullah@afghanaid.org.ukAyub KhanDeputy Director of Finance Administration+93790897166akhan@afghanaid.org.ukZodiac Maslin-HahnDirector of Programme Development+442035596647zmhahn@afghanaid.org.ukGhor34.09957760 64.90595500Food Security38888.48119510.95158399.43Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID126719.54Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID30524.01Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID374.41AFGHANAIDUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/FSAC/INGO/20045United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan has experienced one of its deadliest periods in twenty years, seeing a significant rise on conflict since 01 May triggered by the withdrawal of foreign forces. 2021 has seen over 550,000 displaced by conflict with over 1300 individuals newly displaced to Mazar-e-Sharif, 59% of these estimated to be children . This, in a context where much of the population is experiencing the impact of drought likely to rival 2017/ 2018, exacerbating previous vulnerabilities, and threatening households’ livelihoods, food availability and affordability. According to the 2021 pre-lean season assessment, 20% of the population is severely food insecure, 20% marginally, 54% moderately and only 6% food secure. 38% of hh assessed reported poor food consumption and over 80% reporting use of crisis, emergency, and stress coping strategies The combination of conflict, drought as well as Covid-19, has led to 40% of the population in urban Balkh being classified as IPC 3 or above and 75% of those assessed reporting debt levels above 8,000 AFN per household The recent rises in food and fuel prices and freeze on the banking system will push these people into further need and stress. . Through the proposed project PIN will provide unconditional cash assistance to 1,350 households (9,448 individuals) in Mazar-e-Sharif city of Balkh province to buy food items/commodities. Based on the cluster standards and the allocation strategy paper, every eligible HH will receive USD 180 (equivalent AFN amount based on the exchange rate of the particular period) over a period of four months. The provision of this assistance will support eligible households to address their immediate food needs, either directly or by easing resource constraints to enable increased food security over a longer period. Pending re-start of the national banking system, a formal licensed digital payment institution will be the financial service provider, limiting protection risks to beneficiaries and allowing for remote top-up. Accessibility support will be provided for heads of households that are not able to reach the distribution sites. If the banking system does not recover PINs contracted Hawala will be used. The project harnesses the current functionality of Mazar-e-Sharif markets, but through regular market assessments prior to distribution PIN will ensure the relevance of the modality and adjust accordingly if needed. The market assessment results will feed into the CVWG-supported JMMI. After distributions PDMs will be conducted to assess the impact of the support and identify areas for better delivery protocols in further programing.

In Kunduz 15% of the population projected to be in IPC 3 and 4 while in Samangan province 35% of the is projected to be in IPC 3 and 4 between June – November 2021 (IPC Acute Food Insecurity Analysis Mar-Nov 2021). Results from FSAC Pre-Lean Season Assessment 2021, show that in Kunduz province 33.7% of HHs were found to be moderate food insecure and 0.2% are severely food insecure based on the findings of the Household Hunger Score (HHS). Only 37.9% of the population is showing an acceptable FC. In Samangan province food security is even worse with 19.4% of the HHs are severely food insecure based on Household Hunger Score (HHS) and only 12.3% have an acceptable FCS. Livelihood assistance will be provided to affected households in IPC 3 and 4 to protect their agricultural livelihoods and increase their shock absorption capacity. Wheat and other crops are anticipated to be adversely impacted by the dry-spell and potential drought. Farmers are also expected to have reduced income opportunities. In the last six months income for the HHs has reduced by 26.5% in Kunduz province and 54.9% in Samangan province (FSAC Pre-Lean Season Assessment 2021). This is particularly concerning for small holder farmers who are likely to consume all their harvest during lean season, leaving them without inputs for later cultivation. To enhance cultivation, household consumption and income generation through the sale of crops, HIHAO will support farmers with quality, improved drought resistant certified seeds for the upcoming spring-summer planting season. HIHAO through this project will provide Agriculture inputs such as certified seed, fertilizer Urea, fertilizer DAP and vegetable seeds to 3,000 farmers (1,500 men, 500 women, 500 girls and 500 boys) in the Aybak of Samangan province and Ali Abad and Chardarah districts of Kunduz province. In Kunduz we will target 2,000 households and in Samangan we will work with 1,000 households and one farmer will represent each household. A total of 21,000 individuals including women, men, boys and girls (14,000 in Kunduz and 7,000 in Samangan) who are the family members of the principal beneficiary will benefit from the project. At the beginning HIHAO will mobilize key stakeholders such as the Department of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (DAIL), representative of DAIL at the district level, district officials, District Development Assemblies (DDA), Community Development Councils (CDC) in the target geographical locations to inform about the project’s objectives, activities, target beneficiaries and selection criteria. HIHAO will mobilize the farmers into groups of 10 - 15 people and provide them training on: Land preparation, cultivation techniques, Seed quantity per jerib, use of fertilizers, Irrigation and timing, Integrated pest management, harvesting and storage. HIHAO will also provide vegetable seeds such as okra, tomato and eggplant to the 3,000 households. The project will be implemented over a period of 12 months. HIHAO will establish a dedicated project implementation team including a project Manager and six trainers (4 in Kunduz and 2 in Samangan) at the district level. HIHAO currently has its head office in Kabul and a regional office in Mazar-e-Sharif. The project will be managed through its regional office in Mazar. The project will be oversighted by HIHAO core team members including the Country Director, the Program Director, the Program Manager and CFO. HIHAO technical team such as capacity development manager, master trainers will provide support to the project and HIHAO MEAL unit will monitor the progress of the project.

The data sheet is attached. According to CAHPO assessment reports dated July 2021 “annex under doc”, in Nangarhar province, most of the newly displaced people are coming from Achin, Pachieagam, Dehbala and Surkhrod districts and are now primarily staying in Jalalabad, Behsud, Mommand Dara, Khogyani and Surhrod districts. Though the recent change of power and tangible reduction of conflict, the people stay displaced. As per MoRR they still have insufficient income due to several reasons (prolonged conflict in the past, COVID-19, drought, and unemployment) and impacts on livelihood activities, the majority of poor both urban and rural households are expected to be unable to meet all essential food needs The combination of past conflict, drought as well as Covid-19, has led to 35% of the population in urban Nangarhar being classified as IPC 3 or above. As mentioned by most people they can return after rehabilitation of the infrastructures. Through the proposed project CAHPO will provide unconditional cash assistance to 1,316 households (9,211individuals) in Jalalabad city to buy food items/commodities. Based on the FSAC cluster standards and the allocation strategy paper, every eligible HH will receive USD 180 full food packages of assistance. The intervention will be through unrestricted and unconditional cash distribution. Cash will be distributed in 2 installments of each USD 90 to cover 100% of the minimum food basket for 4 months. 1st installment after the beneficiary selection in the end of first month and 2nd installment on the 3rd month. The guideline of FSAC is attached. As per the FSAC cluster division, 1316 HHs with a total of 9211 beneficiaries in Jalalabad to cover to food basic needs will receive two full food package distributions through cash for food packages, for detail see annex. The provision will be in two installments in order to be most cost-effective and to avoid the distributions barriers. Money Service Provider(MSP) or Hawala that will be contracted by CAHPO to facilitate the distribution at CAHPO office. The usual distribution point will have proven access to work well for all beneficiaries to be able to travel easily. The distribution will be done based on the signed lists and tokens issued to the selected beneficiaries by the Beneficiary Selection Committee (BSC) through the Hawala system detail annex. Because of new administrative change in the Government, it has decided to distribute cash through MSP because we are sure that banking system will not work as normal as before for some months due to recent change. The project staff will collect the phone numbers of the beneficiaries to contact them for cash distribution. Beneficiaries should have NIDs or other certifications to check their identity correctly. Beneficiaries who have no NID will distribute verification card by BSC. Information will be shared with stakeholders regarding the required food items to be purchased. CAHPO team has experience to conduct awareness training on COVID-19. Awareness-raising will take place in all communities in separate male/female groups, as per CAHPO experience, the same female beneficiaries will receive the hygiene kit, who know the best use of it. Information leaflets will be distributed to ensure ongoing access to information will distribute. The project have mainstreamed themes related to the COVID pandemic and protection related issues. The COVID-19 and Protection sessions will take place at the distribution site according to WHO standards. Jalalabad has a big market area that makes it easy for people to supply their required food items.

The strategic objectives of the HRP focus on "lives are saved in the areas of highest needs." The multiple challenges facing the people of Afghanistan in spring 2021, including La Niña-induced climatic anomalies, intensifying conflict, new and protracted internal displacement, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, are exacerbating the pre-existing needs and vulnerabilities of millions of Afghans already dealing with the consequences of 40 years of war. The main purpose of the Afghanistan Spring Disaster Contingency Plan 2021 (SDCP) in response to potential drought and other emergencies is to address intersectoral potential needs holistically and calls for an integrated response with ES-NFI, FSAC, Nutrition, Education, Protection, Health, and WASH to mitigate the multiple and overlapping challenges facing the people of Afghanistan as spring approaches – including a potential La Niña-driven drought,1 intensifying conflict, and ongoing COVID-19 challenges. The ICCT conducted a multi-sectoral analysis for SDCP 2021 and ranked the 25 most-affected provinces as high, medium, or low risk, based on a range of weighted indicators including precipitation, malnutrition, wheat production, vegetation, reliance on agriculture, food insecurity, reduced coping index scores, water quality, availability and access, household debt, and access to health services. ORD intends to provide Cash distribution for 2 months full food basket each basket $90 per households according to CVAWG MEB guidelines and recommendation and Agriculture inputs distribution seed, fertilizer Urea, fertilizer DAP and vegetable seeds (Supporting CERF funding provided to FAO) in Faryab (Maimana), Takhar (Taloqan) and Bamiyan (Waras and Saighan) provinces, that are in the 25 priority provinces for the SDCP 2021. ORD has had a strong presence since 2018 and has delivered emergency responses. Currently, ORD is delivering cash assistance for People with Specific Needs (PSN) and NFI for the recently displaced people in the partnership of UNHCR. The AHF 3d Reserved Allocation 2021 fund will scale up and fill the ORD's current response gap, be holistic, and become a multi-cluster response to the vulnerable population due to the current conflict and drought. ORD will ensure that the most vulnerable people (whose vulnerability score is greater than six, the criteria for both livelihood and food security is incorporated in FSAC standard profile survey tool) in need are among the affected population groups prioritized for this action and 5,016 HHs (35,112 individuals) following FSAC cluster standards for drought and conflict-affected people to respond to their cash for food assistance to IPC phase 3 and 4 vulnerable, prolonged and new IDPs living in IPC phase 3 and 4 urban areas Agriculture support (improved wheat seed, fertilizers, vegetables seeds and training) to food insecure IPC phase 3 and 4 vulnerable farmers. ORD will closely coordinate with the regional FSAC cluster, UNOCHA, and other partners for the identification of target communities and groups to avoid duplication. ORD project team will establish Beneficiary Selection Committees (BSCs) that will conduct a door-to-door assessment using the vulnerability assessment tool. In addition, ORD will use the HAWALA system (SARAF) instead of M-Paisa for the cash transfer to beneficiaries as other means of cash transfer is difficult in the current situation, banking and M-paisa is dysfunctional each transfer value should be $12,690 for 150 HHs. ORD project team will conduct a market assessment for the functionality and accessibility of the basic food basket items. The project team will carry out PDMs and ORD MEAL will perform additional verification by phone and as well share the beneficiary profile with AWAAZ for further accountability.Organization for Relief DevelopmentOrganization for Relief DevelopmentAfghanistan Humanitarian FundMohammad Khalid SalimeeDirector+93799319429director@ord.org.afMohibur Rahman MohibHumanitarian Program Manager+93795855950pm.humanitarian@ord.org.afMohammad NasimFinance Manager+93786465971m.nasim@ord.org.afBamyan34.90732960 67.18944880Faryab36.07956130 64.90595500Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Food Security89142.05361520.55450662.60Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Relief Development180265.04Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Relief Development270397.56Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Relief Development1493.93Organization for Relief DevelopmentUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/FSAC/NGO/20046United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe most recent figures show in Balkh province the people who recently left their houses due to hard fighting and lost their assets and don’t access to food and other basic life services, they need emergency assistance to cope with overlapping challenges. Based on a range of weighted indicators, the province has been classified with a high level of risk of drought (2.5 score) among 25 most affected provinces in Afghanistan with 60% of the population projected to be in IPC 3+ during the period June-November 2021. Additionally, emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC 4) were recorded in the province, especially in rural areas, during the post-harvest analysis of August 2020 and March 2021. Small-holder farmers have long seen their food stocks exhausted after the long winter, and are already faced with the necessity of adopting negative coping strategies. In line with Food Security Agriculture Cluster (FSAC) priorities, OHW and its well organized and professional team will provide 977 HHs (6,842 individuals) in Balkh (Mazar) Province with in-cash assistance (value of 180 USD distributed for the equivalent local currency in AFN at project start) aimed at meeting household food needs for a duration of 4 months, as per cluster standards. The cash assistance will be distributed in two installments along a period of 4 months. Cash assistance has been envisaged as unconditional and unrestricted. The decision has been based on results from needs assessment and identification of food as the main household priority. Moreover, cash has been identified by target populations as the preferred assistance modality and markets have been assessed as accessible and safe for both males and females. Findings from winterization assistance PDM among the same communities point out how distribution in installments is the preferred modality, allowing households to plan for their expenditures. Furthermore, cash assistance will be carried out through the Hawala system, identified as the most viable and widely spread solution by OHWs’ Feasibility Study. The present response priorities are in line with OHW past experience and capability, and represent a scale up of relief and winterization emergency activities in the target area. OHWs’ recent interventions put an emphasis on livelihood enhancement with a focus on natural resources utilization, youth mobilization, WASH and shelter repairs and women empowerment fostering income generating activities. Thus, the action aims at enlarging OHWs’ reach by supporting vulnerable households in dire food insecurity with cash assistance.ORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFAREORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFAREAfghanistan Humanitarian FundGhulam Sakhi GulanCountry Director0728530102gsakhi@ohw.org.afAhmad Nasir EshaqzaiCountry Program Manager0728176040program.manager1@ohw.org.afShahabuddin HamdardOperation/ Finance Manager0728530107shamdard@ohw.org.afBalkh36.89091580 67.18944880Food Security87048.22172951.08259999.30Afghanistan Humanitarian FundORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFARE129999.65Afghanistan Humanitarian FundORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFARE129999.65Afghanistan Humanitarian FundORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFARE4560.62ORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFAREUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/FSAC/NGO/20112United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe AHF 3rd Reserved Allocation Strategy paper indicates that after a significantly lower than average winter precipitation and higher than average temperature associated with the La Niña expected to impact significantly across most regions, particularly in the western, northern, southern, and central highlands of Afghanistan, it is anticipated that the situation will impact on both rain-fed and irrigated agriculture, including cereal production, as well as pasture conditions. The 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan indicates that food prices are about 10-20% higher compared to the 5-year average, while the purchasing power of casual laborers and pastoralists has deteriorated almost 19% and 20% respectively over the last year. Overall, high levels of poverty and food insecurity are fuelling the adoption of negative coping mechanisms, presenting serious dangers to vulnerable people including elevated risks of GBV, early marriage, child labor, begging and recruitment by armed groups and additional debt accumulation. Without immediate, comprehensive anticipatory action, the already dire food insecurity and protection situation will be exacerbated by the consequences of the La Niña effect. This also applies in Kunar, Paktika, and Laghman provinces. In addition, heavy fighting in Laghman and Nangarhar provinces resulted in increased number of IDPs in Kunar with urgent need of humanitarian assistance. The IDPs are either renting or being hosted by friends. A growing number are also staying in the open in different parts of the city with lack of access to urgent needs, including food. Lack of access to proper seeds and fertilizers by farmers in Paktika and Laghman provinces has created cultivation issues, hence resulting in reduced product quality and volume. Farmers do not have access to improved agriculture inputs that can halt hunger and tolerate climate change impacts. Lack of access to fertilizers and seeds will negatively affect the households’ income and resilience against food shortages. They also lack the knowledge and ability regarding effective and proper use of improved seeds and fertilizers. Through the proposed project, AWRO will provide unconditional cash for food assistance to 1,113 shock-affected HHs (7,789 individuals – based on average family size of 7) in Asad Abad district of Kunar province to households in ‘crisis’ (IPC Phase 3) and ‘emergency’ (IPC Phase 4) food insecurity and those anticipated to be affected by flood, dry spell and other risks, as per the IPC analysis 2021. Based on the FSAC cluster standards and the allocation strategy paper, every eligible HH will receive USD 180 (equivalent AFN amount based on the exchange rate of the particular period). The cash provided will help the families provide food for their families during the tough situations. This will make sure the vulnerable households have acceptable food consumption score. The distribution of vegetable seeds, fertilizers, and wheat seed packages will ensure improved productivity, increased income, improved food availability, and enhanced access to livelihood. This will make sure that the target farmers have access to proper agri inputs to ensure proper cultivation. The training workshops provided will enhance the knowledge and capacity of the farmers in proper use of the seeds and fertilizers further contributing to increased production quality and volume. 1.

Afghanistan’s 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) shows escalating suffering and hunger, with 18.4 million people in need of humanitarian assistance and Afghanistan as having the second highest number of people in emergency food insecurity in the world (5.5 million people in IPC Phase 4) [1]. The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, published in April 2021, shows that over 14 million people (35 percent of the population) face acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or worse) between March and May 2021, including 4.2 million people facing emergency levels of food insecurity and requiring immediate assistance. The 2021 Pre-Lean Assessment, on which the IPC 2021 analysis is based, shows that Faryab province is estimated to be in emergency levels of acute food-insecurity (IPC Phase 4), with 54 percent of households experiencing poor levels of food consumption and 82 percent showing poor or borderline food consumption [2]. In Kandahar, 13 percent of households showed poor levels of food consumption, with 67 percent showing poor or borderline food consumption [3]. Further, 57 percent of households in Faryab and Kandahar provinces have to resort to emergency or crisis livelihood coping strategies such as the sale of productive assets and borrowing money to buy food [2]. The drought conditions driven by La Niña, lingering socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 and escalating levels of conflict are further compounding the food security situation of a population which was already on the brink of a hunger crisis. People’s purchasing power has decreased and average prices of basic food commodities have stagnated at high levels since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This has in turn resulted in reduced access to and affordability of food, eroded livelihoods, and increased levels of debt as a coping strategy primarily to buy food. In response to these needs, WFP aims to use this funding to provide unconditional, nutrition-sensitive in-kind food assistance to acutely food-insecure people in Faryab and Kandahar provinces. Faryab province has been classified as in IPC Phase 4 levels of acute food insecurity, while Kandahar is estimated to be in IPC Phase 3. WFP plans to provide a total of 1,022.8 MT worth of emergency in-kind assistance to 29,807 acutely food-insecure people (4,258 households) in Faryab and Kandahar provinces. Targeted households will receive a monthly in-kind nutritionally balanced food basket comprised of 46kg of fortified wheat flour, 4.55kg of fortified vegetable oil, 8.5kg of pulses, and 1kg of iodized salt. Households will receive in-kind food assistance for four months in two cycles of two months each within the project implementation period. WFP’s in-kind assistance is aligned with the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster’s (FSAC) recommended guidelines on humanitarian response packages. WFP aims to prevent people facing emergency levels of acute food insecurity from falling below acceptable levels of food security, bridge critical food gaps whilst increasing food consumption levels, as well as prevent vulnerable households from having to resort to negative coping strategies that would further compound their vulnerability to food insecurity. Food assistance will be provided with full consideration of COVID-19 preventive measures.World Food ProgrammeWorld Food ProgrammeCHAHumanitarian Action For People of AfghanistanAfghanistan Humanitarian FundCecilia GarzonHead of Programme+93706004857cecilia.garzon@wfp.orgMohammad Zabih AhmadiHead of Budget and Programming Unit+93706004883mohammad-zabih.ahmadi@wfp.orgFaryab36.07956130 64.90595500Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Food Security439088.40495911.60935000.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Food Programme935000.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Food ProgrammeXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/FSAC/UN/20114United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAgriculture is the main livelihood for nearly 85 percent of the country’s population and the main livelihood for people living in rural areas, making it important in poverty reduction and food security. However, smallholder farmers in rural areas of Afghanistan are the most affected, trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty, food and seed insecurity, combined with no physical and economical access to farming inputs. Declining soil fertility, increased use of marginal and fragile lands, frequency of drought and floods, lack of adoption of well adapted agricultural technologies and sustainable agriculture, escalating input costs and unstable market conditions for substantial farming inputs affects profitability and sustainability of the smallholder sector. According to FAO’s evidence, without assistance, these farmers most affected by drought need three to five years to recover. The window of opportunity to assist farmers for the upcoming winter wheat season is very narrow and time-bound. We need to scale up our support now as the planting season starts in September. Through this project, FAO will address the immediate humanitarian needs of vulnerable farming families in the Daykundi, Ghor and Laghman Provinces and prevent the loss of lives as a consequence of acute food insecurity, through the provision of season-critical agriculture inputs, as per the FSAC recommended responses packages. FAO will work with FSAC partners to assist drought-affected families to achieve enhanced resilience to future shocks through the introduction of improved wheat seeds that are more drought-resistant, complemented with training on good climate-smart agriculture practices, as well as awareness raising on COVID-19 safety measures. The aim of this emergency livelihoods protection intervention is to enable vulnerable smallholder farmers in the selected three provinces to grow wheat during the upcoming season through increased access to quality agricultural inputs. This improved farmer access is expected to contribute to higher yields, household food self-sufficiency and the generation of surpluses for sale, as well as reduced gap between domestic production and consumption in 2021. The Project expects to reach 8 852 farmers households (61 964 people) with inputs sufficient to produce wheat on two jeribs of irrigated land. The wheat production from the wheat seed package should be sufficient to cover household wheat consumption needs for one year. It is also expected that this will generate income from potential surplus wheat sold in the community and local markets, which in turn will generate income and livelihoods right along the food value chain. The wheat seed package, which contains 50 kg of certified wheat seed and 100 kg of quality fertilizers (50 kg each of diammonium phosphate and urea), under normal conditions, can yield about 1.2 MT of wheat per jerib. This is expected to result in gross production of 29 105 MT of wheat in 2021. The inputs will be procured and delivered by FAO to the distribution points and handed over to the FSAC NGO partners also funded under this reserve allocation, who will distribute the wheat seed packages to beneficiaries. FAO will be responsible for the procurement and quality control, coordination, technical supervision, technical training, and monitoring of the project, while NGO partners will be responsible for the selection of beneficiaries and distribution of inputs. FAO will sign Letters of Agreement with implementing partners to clarify the mutual roles and responsibilities apart from workplans and reporting aspects.

This intervention will fulfill critical gaps in the healthcare sector in these provinces, especially trauma care and PHC services which currently forces community members to travel long distances for such services. Services proposed here will also respond to the rising needs exacerbated recently due to fighting which has led to internal displacement/population movement across the country. Also, the third wave of COVID-19 has further revealed the need for health services in Paktika and Nuristan provinces. Considering the BPHS guideline and SPHERE standard for health services, this project will provide safe access to all and especially vulnerable groups, such as women, girls, people with disabilities (PWDs), children and elderly through the following activities: Provision of trauma care services through establishment of one new First Aid Trauma Post (FATP) in Kamdish district in Nuristan province. Provision of trauma care services through continuation of two FATPs (one standalone and one integrated) in two hard-to-reach districts (Giyan and Dila) of Paktika province Establishment of one new, integrated FATP in Yahyakhil district) in Paktika province. Establishment of one new, integrated FATP in Waza-khawa district) in Paktika province. Provision of timely/standardized referral system for trauma cases in both provinces -- IMC will provide and functionalize four ambulances (one for each FATP, three in Paktika and one in Nuristan) and equip to provide timely first-aid and basic life support as well as to evacuate patients and ensure access to the next level care. Continue support activities of the two existing Health Sub-centers (HSCs) in Gomal district of Paktika to provide emergency primary health care including reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH) services aligned with BPHS guideline. The WB has recently suspended financial support to the SEHATMANDI project in Afghanistan. This has affected the service delivery by the BPHS health facilities in Paktika province and resulted in lack of access to health services provided by public health facilities. To ensure the local population has access to emergency primary health services, as per Health Cluster recommendation , IMC would target 2 existing SHCs which were previously working under BPHs. - Proposed New SHC-1: in WazaKhwa (Paktika) will be activated in new location (the fix SHC of Gwashta in same district). - Proposed New SHC-2 (initially planned in Waza Khwa) will be shifted to Qarabdin in Yahya Khail district. Procuring medicines, medical supplies, medical equipment and non-medical supplies IMC will implement the project in close coordination with Health Cluster, PPHDs, MoPH, BPHS/EPHS implementing NGOs along with the support of local/targeted communities. International Medical Corps (IMC) is a US-registered independent affiliate organization of International Medical Corps UK (IMC UK), with which IMC UK shares the same name and charitable objectives and mission. IMC UK and IMC work together to deliver assistance programs in an accountable and effective manner in pursuit of their commonly-held charitable objectives. IMC UK will engage IMC to implement its programs in the field, with IMC UK oversight, according to the terms and conditions of the agreement that results from this proposal and the terms of the parties’ administrative service agreement.

MHTs will provide OPD services for the general community who require basic primary healthcare, midwives will provide ANC and PNC services to the pregnant women who visit the project health service and counsellors will provide psychosocial patients screening and counselling sessions to those in need. OPD will include the distribution of medicines for common ailments such as flu, sore throat, patient with intestinal, urinary and heart problems, diabetes, etc. And midwives will distribute supplements to pregnant women as well as the distribution of medicines, the MHTs will also provide immunization services of various vaccines such as measles, polio etc. to children maintaining cold chain standards during supplies and immunization process and register and report according to the National EPI and HMIS requirement. The MHTs will also distribute mosquito nets, newborn baby kits and covid-19 prevention kits to those that the team consider to be most in need. The MHTs will refer the critical patients to the BPHS or EPHS service points for better treatment and the PSS teams will also refer any severe illness of PSS cases to higher healthcare facilities when necessary. Support with the costs of transportation and medicine to a higher healthcare facility will be covered for those cases that are referred by the project. The project will also increase the awareness of the general community about prevention of infectious diseases including the prevention of COVID-19 through different communication channels. As Afghanistan has a strong conservative and religious society, the project will use IRW’s Faith Driven Approach (FDA) to mobilize people and to make them aware of why and how to protect themselves from diseases. Women and men community leaders, religious leaders, and community health workers and members of Shuras will be actively engaged. FM radio and other communication tools will also be used in order to have a wider reach. Cluster approved messages on COVID-19 and prevention of various types of communicable diseases will be disseminated through safe and sustained communications channels. IRW will engage with RCCE WG on a regular basis for setting the communication methodologies and tools. IRW will ensure coordination with RCCE WG to ensure a harmonized approach and feed into rumor tracking. This six-month project is designed as per the needs and gaps identified by the health cluster for the AHF 3rd Reserved Allocation 2021. The project will reach upto 64,664 direct beneficiaries and 20,000 indirect beneficiaries in targeted districts in Nangarhar and Balkh provinces. IRW has field offices and strong presence in the proposed provinces including community acceptance and government trust. IRW is already implementing projects from donors like AHF/OCHA and our other partners in these areas. IRW has already completed COVID-19 Emergency Response in the targeted provinces in Afghanistan in 2020, funded by AHF/OCHA.

The proposed response aligns with HRP’s strategic objective 1 (provision of life-saving services). PUI proposes a 6 months action in 2 provinces (Nangarhar and Kunar), targeting districts with higher needs being considered hard-to-reach or white areas (no or very limited services available), with less presence of other actors and/or with higher incidence of IDPs/returnees. The objective of the project is to strengthen life-saving health services (including trauma care), taking into account the current disruption of health services as a whole, as well as considering that trauma has never been part of the essential services provided under the BPHS program, creating significant health needs. The project will focus on improving coverage, access and quality of basic health services, allowing three CHCs to continue running their activities, beside supporting trauma care in hotspot identified HFs.. Specifically, by: (i) ensuring the functioning of the referral system in the 3 targeted CHCs, by staffing and providing supplies to the existing ambulances (ii) deploying surge health workers teams, which will be made available to district hospitals with a high incidence of trauma cases (iii) enabling the provision of life-saving primary health care services, including MCH, in 3 supported CHCs. With the aim to mainstream COVID-19 prevention, all staff will be trained on main prevention measures and equipped with the necessary PPE.

AADA has a wealth of experience in terms of implementation in more than 18 humanitarian response projects funded by CHF/AHF, WHO, WFP and UNFPA since the past six years. The key activities of this action will be based around three major interventions: (a) On the basis of demands from the community and new health authorities, the previously AHF funded First Aid Trauma Posts (FATPs) under 2020 1st Standard Allocation (concluded on 31 April 21) in Barakat BHC in Khawaja Omari, Nawa CHC in Nawa, Zanakhan CHC in Zanakhan and Waghaz CHC in Waghaz districts will be re-activated to continue with provision of lifesaving trauma care and psychosocial support to conflict affected people. (b) Deployment of four Rapid Response Teams (RRT) linked to FATPs to ensure timely evacuation of conflict casualties from frontline to FATPs and referring at risk pregnancies and severe illness and nearest hospitals (c) Due to extreme needs, enhancing the capacity of Qarabagh, and Muqur districts hospitals (DHs) by assigning additional specialized health work force, provision of surgery equipment and supplies to provide specialized trauma management services to massive casualties and conflict induced trauma cases referred from BHCs, CHCs and health sub-centers (HSCs). The FATPs will also support provision of primary health care services to health facility beneficiaries where the FATPs are established. Each FATP will be staffed with two male and one female health professionals (midwife/nurse) and RRT with one male nurse and support staff. TCUs at target DHs will be staffed with one male or female surgeon, two male nurses, two female nurses and two support staff (one male and one female cleaner to provide 24/7 services in the target location. TCUs buildings that significantly damaged due to airstrike will be rehabilitated to make it fully functional. All medical professionals involved in service provision will be trained on Basic Life Support (BLS), Psychosocial Support (PSS) and cross cutting subjects (protection mainstreaming, gender, accountability to affected population and PSEA). To ensure project sustainability at least two BPHS paid staff (male and female) in each targeted HF will be trained on the above subjects to continue service delivery after the project conclusion. The proposed action will target 70,657 direct beneficiaries including 31,759 women and 6,172 girls. The project implementation will be carried out in close coordination with the Provincial Public Health Directorate (PPHD), regional health cluster (RHC), and other stakeholders including communities and groups involved in different locations in the province.

The selection of the health facilities is based on the needs assessments conducted during the planning phase of this project. The four provinces experienced heavy fighting during the last months while Kunduz, Takhar and Baghlan provinces host high caseloads of IDPs. The presence of IDPs in these provinces overstretched the capacity of the health facilities. In order to ensure continuity of health service provision and to serve the most vulnerable people in need, the project aims to support the identified health facilities in the provinces with essential medical supplies as part of the lifesaving interventions. Key interventions: - Addressing the immediate gap of Reproductive Health (RH) supplies in health facilities affected by conflicts in Kunduz, Takhar, Baghlan and Balkh provinces. - Distribute clean delivery kits to visibly pregnant women who may haven't had access to receive delivery care services in the health centers and or hospitals in Kunduz, Takhar, Baghlan and Balkh provinces.

The situation is combined with frequent natural disasters, mass population movements, mass casualty incidents, and outbreaks of communicable diseases which have rendered Afghanistan as one of the world’s most complex humanitarian emergencies. The direct consequences of violence and the war-induced breakdown of public health, security, and infrastructure in Afghanistan has killed millions of Afghan civilians and seriously injured hundreds (Source: Oxfam International amp OCHA). The current fragile and unpredictable situation following complete take over of Afghanistan by Taliban, call for attention of the cluster partners especially health sector to prepare for uncertainties while ensuring resume of the essential health services in conflict affected areas. With recent situation and change of control towards Taliban, WHO remained the central point for supporting the health cluster member NGOs and the health system with supplies, equipment, medical and trauma kits. Meanwhile looking at the current situation with the international airports and flights are off for the routine air transport and will be off for at least 4-8 weeks time depending the country situation will increase the demand for supplies particularly emergency medical kits. Likewise, the additional need for emergency health in the areas in previously inaccessible areas is also a huge gap to be addressed. WHO during the months of June and July distributed 1180 IEHK basic full kits, 37 Trauma Emergency Surgical Kits (TESK ) full kits, 11 cholera full kits, 119 IEHK basic kits, 97 TESK kits, 17 cholera kits and 7 IEHK supplementary kits, looking the changed situation, WHO intends to the proposed AHF grant to ensure that the gaps of supplies and resumption of emergency primary health care is in place in the previously inaccessible and hard to reach areas. additionally, the blood bank services as being a very important part of the trauma care will also be part of the project with a specific focus on staff capacity building as the equipment and supplies are covered through other donors. In addition to the supplies, WHO will use the grant to refurbish some health facilities damaged during the recent conflict to ensure the catchment population have access to essential primary health care. likewise WHO will deploy temporary mobile health teams in the previously inaccessible areas to ensure people are benefited from the PHC services. in general, this project will contribute to decreasing morbidity and mortality of the people living in hard-to-reach and white areas by supplying essential medical kits and deploying MHTs in hard-to-reach areas, rehabilitation of health facilities damaged during war, and capacity building of healthcare staff. The beneficiaries will include all those patients will come to health facilities including IDPs, and host communities. Targeted Population: 1. Population in conflict affected areas 2. Populations in undeserved areas (conflict affected and remote areas) 3. IDPs 4. Host communities hosting high number of IDPs The calculation of beneficiaries will be based on the following records: 1. Health Management Information System (HMIS) data from Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) 2. WHO Health Information Management (HIM) data 3. Humanitarian data as collected by Health Cluster 4. Hospital records 5. Past data where applicable 6.

OCCD is already a BPHS implementing institution which means that it is accredited already with MoPH and meets all requirements for large scale projects implementation. OCCD is an initiative of senior Afghan staff whose vast and enriched experience is an asset to the country. The aim of the founders of OCCD is to transfer the experiences and expertise from several national and international organizations to a purely Afghan context in order to ensure the sustainability of efforts as well as provide opportunities for Afghans to use their full potentials in humanitarian and community development activities. The proposed action under this allocation aims to reduce the vulnerability of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and other vulnerable in host communities through provision of integrated lifesaving health and nutrition services in four priority districts of Badakhshan province namely Yamgan Teshkan, Tagab, districts as well as the IDPs in the Baghi Zeart area of Faizabad city. In the proposed project, OCCD intends to undertake the following key interventions: Health: Establishing and maintain three first aid trauma posts (FATPs) at Teshkan BHC (Teshkan district), Yamgan BHC (Yamgan district) and Yemgan BHC ( Yamgan district) to provide first aid, stabilization and referral service to conflict and not- conflict trauma patients. Medical and non-medical equipment are procured and installed and vehicles will be rented to serve as ambulances to ensure timely transportation of conflict wounded patients to nearest hospitals. FATPs will be staffed with three males and one female health professional (midwife/nurse) and the ambulance with one male nurse. and will be trained on Basic Life Support (BLS) and Psychosocial Support (PSS). Additionally, two staff from BPHS paid staff (male and female) will be trained on the above subjects to continue services delivery after the project conclusion. As of the proportionate reduction in the trauma cases due to recent power shift and disruption of the BPHS services, the FATPs will deliver primary health care services to the relevant catchment areas as well. Nutrition: Deployment of one integrated mobile health and nutrition team (MHNT) covering IDPs in the Baghi Zerat area in Faizabad city. MHNT will be providing Outpatient Department of Severe Acute Malnutrition (OPD-SAM), Outpatient Department of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (OPD-MAM), services to acutely malnourished boys and girls (6 to 59 months) and Acutely Malnourished Pregnant and Lactating Women (AM PLW), Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illnesses (IMNCI) to children under five years old age, primary health care including immunization to boys , girls , men and women IYCF-E counselling services and psychosocial support to IDPs and host communities. MHNT also will be providing Blanket Supplementary Food (BSF) to protect the nutritional status of children 5-59 months and PLWs. The MHNT will be staffed with one male MD, One midwife, one vaccinator, one nutrition counselor/nurse and a driver. OCCD will establish and maintain collaborative and cooperative working network with the BPHS/EPHS implementing NGO as well as other health/nutrition implementing NGOs in the project implementation site. OCCD will ensure the implementation of this project in close coordination with all relevant governmental counterparts and local actors at the national, provincial and community level.

Meanwhile, the activities will be coordinated with BPHS Health Facilities at the mentioned districts. in the specified provinces With the given prioritize SAF will consider Routine surveillance of and response to COVID-19, MAM, SAM and IYCF Nutrition for under 5 and pregnant and lactating women, AWD, measles and other diseases. The project management team (project officer, project assistant and finance officer based in the provincial office and one project focal point based in Kabul) will have the capability to efficiently and transparently manage the project with the help of management team of SAF at the central and provincial levels. Required IEC and health promotion materials will be distributed among the targeted population (IDPs) by the project staff at the service delivery points. Simultaneously, functional referral mechanisms among the CHWs-CHS-MHT and nearest health facilities will be established. SAF will also formulate close coordination with authorities of the provincial hospital in the province by signing MOUs with Sarepul and Jawzjan provincial hospitals while the provincial hospital of Faryab is run by SAF no MoU is required to be signed . As part of this assignment SAF will consider the minimum gender marker code (1) within the proposed projects. SAF will ensure that gender equality and gender awareness activities are mainstreamed within the scope of project. Accordingly, the women, men, boys and girls of all ages will benefit equally from the proposed interventions. A total of 9120 individuals in the IDPs communities will directly benefit from health cluster of the project. However, the 32480 beneficiaries in all 3 provinces will benefit from the services provided Health and nutrition clusters. MHNTs will provide nutrition services including community outreach, screening, case detection, referral , follow up, community awareness raising on nutrition services (MAM, SAM, IYCF) for targeted communities.

Based on analyses 27 provinces were categorized in emergency level. Low winter rainfall and high temperatures are anticipated to drive drought-like conditions over spring, affecting rain-fed and irrigated agriculture/livestock, as well as availability of water for drinking, washing and sanitation. The Cluster plans to reach 21 of the 25 provinces that most affected by the drought. More specifically, Nutrition’s response will be centered in 9 high priority (Farah, Herat, Ghor, Badghis, Khost, Faryab, sar-e-pul and Jawzjan), 11 medium priority and 1 low priority province. The Nutrition cluster has prioritized the activities as described response to potential drought and other emergencies. Strengthening the capacity of inpatient (IPD-SAM) services is also part of the priorities. 50% of children with SAM are targeted in 5 high affected provinces by drought for outpatient treatment, and 10 per cent of SAM cases for IPD-SAM services. Implementation of the inpatient management of SAM is through the BPHS and EPHS partners’ modality. Through AHF reserve funding WHO will provide inpatient therapeutic care for 3651 (1862 boys and 1789 girls) severe acute malnourished children with medical complications in 16 IPD-SAM centres which located in 5 high priority drought affected provinces Improved access and utilization of quality nutrition services to In-patient care for severely malnourished children with complications, which is in line with the strategic objective of the AHF to ensure provision of lifesaving acute malnutrition services for children and women in the affected areas, cluster HRP SO1 and spring disaster contingency plan. The project will involve two main activities: 1) Functional upgrading of IPD-SAM/TFU’s through provision of milk preparation kits, warm and cold chain system, bedside chairs, IPC ,and medical equipment. 2) Printing of TSS, MSS, 24 hours food intake carts, Mayo chart and IEC materials. 3) Providing training on management of acute malnutrition, breastfeeding for caregivers of malnourished children and IPC for health workers in the IPD-SAM/TFU’sWorld Health OrganizationWorld Health OrganizationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundDr Mohammad Qasem Shamsnational professional officer0093786253629shamsm@who.int Health EmergenciesTeam Leadabouzeida@who.intDr Abouzeid AlaaBadghis35.16713390 63.76953840Farah32.49532800 62.26266270Faryab36.07956130 64.90595500Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Hirat34.34194400 62.20305600Nutrition54868.26164604.76219473.02Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Health Organization219473.02Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Health OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/N/UN/20048United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan continues to experience very high prevalence of under-nutrition especially among the under-5 and pregnant amp women. Ongoing conflict, low access to basic services, and the impact of natural disasters and displacement have exacerbated the existing vulnerabilities of communities and resulted to even higher risks of acute malnutrition. According to recent nutrition surveys, 27 out of 34 provinces are currently above the alert thresholds of acute malnutrition based on WHO classification of wasting rates for children under the age of five (global acute malnutrition (GAM) ≥10 per cent with aggravating factors). Given the high needs resulting from the above circumstances, coupled with limited resources to address these needs in a comprehensive manner, the nutrition cluster in Afghanistan identified 7 priority provinces considered to harbour the highest burden and or risk of malnutrition. These provinces are considered to be exposed to high malnutrition rates, food insecurity at IPC level 3 and above, low coverage of acute malnutrition treatment programmes, and high risk of being affected by drought. The nutrition cluster therefore plans to strengthen treatment and prevention interventions. Therefore, as part of broader nutrition cluster response WFP in collaboration with UNICEF and in partnership with relevant BPHS and none-BPHS NGOs provides nutrition treatment services to moderately malnourished children and PLW to rehabilitate their nutritional status and prevent them from further deterioration to severe malnutrition. WFP also supports emergency blanket nutrition assistance to prevent acute malnutrition among vulnerable groups in shock affected locations. As the existing resources may not be sufficient to meet the increasing and emerging needs as a result of the drought and conflict, so the funding from AHF 2021 RA3 will be used to cover part of the needs in the prioritized locations. This proposal focuses on the procurement of specialized nutritious foods for treatment and prevention of moderate acute in children and PLW (Pregnant and Lactating Women) in the prioritized provinces and districts. With the US$ 620,000 from AHF 3rd Reserve Allocation WFP will procure 61 mt AchaMum, 158 mt Supercereal, and 16 mt WawaMum this quantity can cover MAM treatment needs for 6,738 children and 3,184 pregnant and lactating women in the 7 prioritized districts located in the 7 provinces (Badakhshan, Takhar, Kandahar, Ghazni, Herat, Jawzjan, Laghman). In addition, about 3,445 children and 1,715 PLW will be reached with blanket supplementary feeding. As soon as the funding proposal is approved, WFP will take advantage of its Global Commodity Management facility for advance financing and start commodity procurement to reduce procurement lead time. Additionally, WFP will take commodity loans from existing stocks to cover the immediate needs in the AHF targeted locations, which upon arrival of AHF related commodity the loan will be repaid.

The Nutrition Cluster has identified 67 districts within seven provinces (Badakhshan, Kandahar, Ghazni, Herat, Takhar, Jawzjan and Laghman) as drought and conflict affected areas with pre-existing emergency levels of acute malnutrition (more than 15% and/ or more than 10% with presence of aggravating factors), which would need continued provision of nutrition services. UNICEF, the sole provider of Ready-To-Use-Therapeutic-Food (RUTF) in the country, forecasted a shortage of RUTF for affected areas. To maintain the current scale of services in the target areas with an acceptable level of treatment coverage, UNICEF is seeking the support of the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund (AHF) to support provision of lifesaving therapeutic supplies (RUTF) to secure Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) treatment services for a total of 6,524 children in the target districts. UNICEF will procure the therapeutic supplies through its Supply Division. Supplies will be stored at national and regional UNICEF warehouses and will be distributed to the implementing partners (IPs) through Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) on a quarterly basis. The AHF project IPs are: BPHS IPs including Agency for Assistance and Development of Afghanistan (AADA), Healthnet TPO (HN-TPO), Aga Khan Foundation (AKF), Solidarity of Afghan Families (SAF), Bu Ali Rehabilitation amp Aid Network (BARAN), Bakhtar Development Network (BDN) and non-BPHS IPs including Save the Children International (SCI), Action Against Hunger (AAH), World Vision International (WVI). UNICEF will use complementary funding sources, including but not limited to the last AHF allocation, to provide therapeutic milk (F-75 and F-100 type) to complement lifesaving treatment services addressing the needs of children with SAM with medical complications in hospitals, in target districts within the five target provinces. Outpatient and inpatient treatment of SAM are integral components of the Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) approach, that will be delivered by the Basic Package of Health Services/ Essential Package of Hospital Services (BPHS/ EPHS) and humanitarian IPs through fixed health facilities and mobile teams. Furthermore, SAM treatment will be provided simultaneously with the treatment of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) supported by World Food Programme (WFP), where applicable.United Nations Children's FundUnited Nations Children's FundAfghanistan Humanitarian FundMelanie GalvinChief of Nutrition Section0799987620mgalvin@unicef.orgRichard LedburyResource Mobilization Manager0799987439rledbury@unicef.orgAlice AkungaDeputy Representative0799987101aakunga@unicef.orgBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Ghazni33.55000000 68.41666700Hirat34.34194400 62.20305600Jawzjan36.89696920 65.66585680Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Laghman34.68976870 70.14558050Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Nutrition201143.47198933.11400076.58Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's Fund400076.58Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's FundXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/N-H/INGO/20017United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs In response to the 3rd Reserve Allocation 2021 HNI-TPO will implement nutrition services in in priority districts of Kunar and Laghman provinces. The HNI-TPO is a Netherland-based international organization working in Afghanistan since 1994 in health, nutrition, MHPSS, communicable disease control, GBV, humanitarian services, capacity building and research. Currently, HNI-TPO is the BPHS/EPHS implementer in Kunar and Laghman provinces, and implements EPHS in Nangarhar. HNI-TPO has been implementing other humanitarian and vertical projects in Kunar, Laghman and many other provinces of Afghanistan. The recent fight and collapse of districts caused internal displacement in both Kunar and Laghman provinces. Most families leave their villages and settled in the capital of the provinces or some districts centers. They leave their livelihood, homes and all tools and they fled for rescue. In addition, potential drought put some districts of Kunar and Laghman provinces in a dire need for emergency nutrition services to prevent morbidity and mortality in children and women. COVID-19 pandemic third wave in the country deteriorated the situation and people access to the health facilities badly affected. The recent political changes will deteriorate the economy situation and families purchase power will decrease and prices of the food staff will increase. This will affect the already deteriorated nutrition and health situation in Kunar and Laghman provinces. Marginalized groups (women and children) will mostly affect from this situation. According to the HRP 2021, nearly one in two children under five and one in four PLW is now facing acute malnutrition and requires life-saving treatment services. Kunar and Laghman provinces population is scatter and distributed in valleys with harsh geographic location, transportation problems, and road block due to flood and land slide which caused to limit access to the available health facilities. Most of the health facilities are health sub centers which do not have nutrition services as per BPHS policy. According to the rapid assessment, the following districts will be targeted through 4 Health and Nutrition Mobile Teams (HNMTs): Asadabad, Ghazi Abad, Dara-e-Pich districts in Kunar province and Mehtarlam, Alingar and Alishang districts in Laghman province. One team will deploy in Kunar province which will focus mostly on Asadabad and will cover Ghazi Abad and Dar-e-Pich districts hard to reach areas too. 3 teams will deploy in Laghman province which will cover three districts. One team will assign for each district in Laghman province. Each MHNT will consist of 4 technical staff including one MD, one Midwife, One nutrition officer/nurse and one vaccinator. Project staff will train on the relevant topics. This project will provide OPD SAM and OPD MAM services. Under 5 years children and PLW screening, under 2 years GMP and RCCE regarding COVID-19 will be part of the project activities. In addition to the nutrition activities, these mobile teams will provide OPD, maternal and newborn care, family planning and vaccination services. Project will have one month inception period for staff recruitment, vehicles renting for HNMTs, provision of SAM and MAM supply form PND/UNICE and WFP, SDPs selection , kickoff , detail planning, receiving HMIS codes for HNMTs and project registration with the Ministry of Economy. This project will provide services to 89421 people and will regularly supervise and monitor by HNI-TPO provincial and country offices team. In addition the relevant stakeholders will be involved in all phases of the project.

Diminished precipitation during the La Niña period has triggered a water scarcity crisis. The President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan officially declared a drought on 22 June, indicating that 30 per cent of the country is exposed to severe drought, 50 per cent to serious drought and another 20 per cent to moderate drought. For many impacted communities, it has become a challenge to acquire enough water for drinking, hygiene and food production (agriculture and livestock). In the context of an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, insufficient water, including sanitation and hygiene, has placed communities at a heightened risk of infectious and waterborne diseases, including COVID-19 and Acute Watery Diarrhoea. Against this background, since the end of May, the number of people internally displaced because of conflict and in need of immediate humanitarian aid more than doubled, reaching 550,000 (Statement by Principals of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) on Afghanistan). In addition to this, undocumented returns are at record high levels, 638,000 into Afghanistan, since January (3rd Reserve Allocation 2021 Allocation Strategy Paper). In 2020, expanded demand and scaled-up outreach by the WASH Cluster have created an urgent need for replenishment of hygiene kits, handwashing stations and water kits. The water supply infrastructure needs repair and rehabilitation because of damage from conflict and disasters and increased strain due to low precipitation. All these factors have contributed to an increased displacement of the population and have dramatically raised the number of people in need of humanitarian interventions. To respond to the above situation, DACAAR, as part of the proposed project, will provide WASH assistance to 60,200 affected people, as follow: a. Rehabilitation of 300 non-functional water points and 6 pipe scheme systems and in case some water points are beyond repair, construction of new water point or as a last resort, emergency trucking of safe water. In addition, DACAAR will run a groundwater early monitoring system to collect and provide data on groundwater availability to better inform relevant stakeholders and their WASH programmes. b. Distribution of 600 hygiene kits to targeted beneficiaries alongside the provision of hygiene education covering topics as Covid-19, personal hygiene, safe water transport and storage, handwashing and waste management.

The project aims to improve access to safe water, provision of hygiene items and ensure community engagement to improve hygiene practices to ensure the most vulnerable and marginalized IDPs and host communities in underserved communities. The humanitarian response covers a critical gap in hard-to-reach areas by providing or expanding existing WASH facilities in drought affected communities. In addition, communities hosting IDPs or Afghan returnees whose WASH facilities are overstretched will be supported though WASH services. The project will be directly implemented by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), continuing recent interventions in these areas (Covid-19 response). The project is aligned with the AHF Allocation Response Strategy 3th RA and has been coordinated through relevant fora, notably the Afghanistan WASH Cluster. Targeting 7,500 vulnerable households (37,500 individuals – 18,750 males 18,750 female) in Nimroz Province, NRC proposes to rehabilitate/upgrade 15 existing water sources (boreholes and dug wells) through contractual services. In addition, 3,500 vulnerable families will be supported though restricted cash assistance for household drinking water. Further, 7,500 Non-food items (NFI) hygiene kits and 2,500 household water treatment systems (bio sand filters) will be provided though in-kind distribution to the targeted households. All of the WASH project hard interventions will be complemented with soft component of hygiene promotion by engaging of diverse community individuals and groups with emphasis on women and girls’ participation. The hygiene promotion activities will be specifically focusing on prevention of diarrhea and COVID-19. NRC will ensure that the cash-based programming under this project will follow both NRC’s Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) and the Cash and Voucher Working Group’s (CVWG) recommendations on cash delivery mechanisms. The project will implement gender sensitive WASH facilities and educate women and girls on good personal hygiene practices to prevent WASH related diseases. The project will also seek to reduce the effect of poor WASH and malnutrition that lead to health acquired infections and transmission of diseases including cholera/AWD and COVID-19 within target communities. The project activities will be implemented by WASH team composed of National WASH Engineer and Hygiene Promoter, having a good experience working in the area with both IDPs and host communities. They will be supported by WASH Project Manager in Heart and WASH Specialist and Advisor based in Kabul.Norwegian Refugee CouncilNorwegian Refugee CouncilAfghanistan Humanitarian FundAstrid SlettenCountry Director+93 731 285 965astrid.sletten@nrc.noThomas CorcoranHead of Programme+93 728 973 580 tom.corcoran@nrc.noRosemary MutieGrants Manager+93 728 932 070 rosemary.mutie@nrc.noNimroz31.02614880 62.45041540Water, Sanitation and Hygiene25641.02674358.83699999.85Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Refugee Council419999.91Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Refugee Council241491.86Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Refugee CouncilXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/WASH/INGO/20041United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsConsidering the strategic objectives of the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund (AHF), particularly those set under the 2021 AHF RA3, IMC proposes emergency lifesaving WASH services for areas with the highest needs in Kunar province. This package of WASH services will target conflict-induced IDP (Internally Displaced People) and drought-affected communities in three hard-to-reach districts, namely Shultan, Waterpur, and Nurgal. This package of services is designed based on IMC’s needs assessment findings conducted in these districts during February – June 2021 in collaboration with WASH Cluster members, local partners and authorities, and community members. The project will provide WASH services to a total of 14,280 individuals, including 4,284 women, 4,141 men, 2,856 boys, 2,999 girls from diverse social groups. The services under this package will provide safe drinking water, improve water quantity and quality in the target districts, establish water management committees and train their members, and promote hygiene. These services will help individuals and families to access, utilize and manage water in their communities and practice proper hygiene who have otherwise been forced to choose negative coping strategies such as drinking water from unprotected sources and adopting unsafe hygiene behaviors. This project will last 12 months and requires a around $ 357,226 budget. Below, a summary of the specific activities to be carried out under this project is provided. Construction of 4 solar-powered pipe schemes (1 in Shultan, 2 in Watapur, and 1 in Nurgal) Water table measurement : in order to know about the drawdown of the ground water and to know the static and dynamic level of the water . Provision of water kits for collection and storage of safe water and distribution of water treatment chemicals to the communities (at household level) Establish and train 4 water management committees to give the communities a sense of ownership and responsibility for project activities and maintain good communication among all stakeholders. Training of community members as mechanics for regular maintenance of pipe schemes and other WASH infrastructure after the project ends Conducting 3 rounds of hygiene awareness sessions and Distributing a total of 2,040 water kits. The intervention will take specific care to implement the program per the Sphere standard, ensuring safe access for vulnerable groups, such as women and girls, to the services.

IRC will ensure that all communal water points in the targeted communities are safely disinfected through chlorination of wells. Considering the recent military surge of Taliban, IRC will adhere to join operating principles and will adopt a careful approach while interacting and coordinating with other humanitarian actors in the area. The project is an effort to reduce additional strain on existing water sources placed by displaced population as a result of drought and conflict. The local communities will be mobilized and engaged exclusively from the onset. A compressive hygiene promotion component will also be implemented for adopting good hygiene practices to reduce diarrheal and water borne diseases amongst displaced population in Helmand and Paktiya. Lifesaving WASH support will be provided through the establishment or maintenance of water supply infrastructure, promotion of positive sanitation practices supplemented by technical support to households with no latrine to construct fecal disposal facilities from local available materials community-based hygiene promotion. The hygiene promotion sessions for women and girls will be conducted at household level in accordance with the local culture and will be supplemented by distribution of menstrual hygiene kits. The hygiene promotion sessions and promotion of installation of handwashing stations from locally available materials will be a crucial element in limiting of community transmission of COVID19. IRC will ensure that issues of protection and gender-based violence related to water scarcity and sanitation are addressed and mainstreamed through the project period by ensuring awareness raising on equal access to WASH Services for men, women, boys, and girls. IRC will ensure that locally available technology is used, and members of the community are trained on operation and maintenance of the infrastructure installed. The project will directly reach out to 51,300 community members whilst 30% of them will be Internally displaced persons (IDPs).International Rescue CommiteeInternational Rescue CommiteeAfghanistan Humanitarian FundVicki AkenCountry Director 0793400802vicki.aken@rescue.orgMohammed Nasir RizaeeDeputy Director Programs0793400804mn.rizaee@rescue.orgAyesha BatoolGrants Coordinator 0 729080006ayesha.batool@rescue.org AsiaRegional Grants DirectorGabrielle.LaPointe@rescue.orgGabrielle LaPointe Hilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Paktya33.70619900 69.38310790Water, Sanitation and Hygiene157677.02542255.12699932.14Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Rescue Commitee419959.28Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Rescue Commitee257451.28Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Rescue Commitee861.35International Rescue CommiteeUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/WASH/INGO/20075United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsUnderlying vulnerabilities for people in Afghanistan have been exacerbated by COVID-19, drought, and the ongoing conflict, leading to reduced access to WASH services and basic health care, a huge increase in acute malnutrition and emergency levels of acute food insecurity. Drought conditions have led to declining water tables, resulting in intermittent water supply or existing wells drying up. Below average winter precipitation led to prolonged and precarious water shortages and water quality issues in remote communities of Ghor, Badghis, Herat and Faryab among others, where IPC 3 and 4 conditions persist. The country having not yet recovered from the 2018 drought following low winter rainfall (low snow pack resulting in less water from snow melt) and high temperatures associated with a La Niña weather event, Afghanistan has faced severe drought with impacts across all regions of the country that was officially declared by the Government of Afghanistan on 25 June 2021. The severity of the drought has significantly depleted the limited water resources available to communities, for both people in their places of origin and for IDPs resulting in limited availability of water for drinking, washing and sanitation as well in affected locations. According to the rapid drought assessment by World Vision in Badghis, Ghor, Faryab 53% and Herat 96% of communities assessed reported a drop in water levels and stated that their sources of water have dried up due to drought this year. Pressure on water sources negatively affects household water availability and hygiene practices. Poor hygiene conditions have long contributed to communicable diseases in Afghanistan, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated preexisting WASH needs further since 2020. In Afghanistan, diarrheal diseases are the second most common cause of death for children under the age of five, after acute respiratory infections, which is highly attributed to limited access to basic hygiene and sanitation facilities. This situation, if not addressed, is likely to exacerbate not only the spread of COVID-19 but also put the most vulnerable populations at risk of other water related disease transmission. To respond to this dire situation, World Vision through this proposed project will provide approximately 28,000 people (8140 male, 7820 female, 6140 boys and 5900 girls) from highly affected districts in Badghis and Herat with lifesaving WASH assistance. Access to safe water, basic sanitation and hygiene will be improved through construction of 13 solar powered water systems benefitting 27,300 people (7936 male, 7625 female, 5987 boys and 5752 girls). Water quality testing and surveillance of water systems (at least 3 tests per water system), establishment and training of 13 water management committees on operation and maintenance of the systems will be done to ensure water safety as per WHO/ANSA standards and sustainability of water systems. Hygiene promotion (awareness creation sessions) and distribution of hygiene kits will also be conducted to promote good hygiene practices such as handwashing with soap coupled with COVID-19 prevention messages as a means to reduce the risk. This project design excludes rehabilitation of water systems because World Vision also received funding from UNICEF to support rehabilitation of nonfunctional water systems in Badghis as part of drought response. By providing clean drinking water and improved hygiene practices, diarrhea and malnutrition rates will decline, thus “saving lives in the areas of highest need” (HRP SO1). Provision of durable solar powered water supply networks to these locations that are frequently exposed to drought will ensure that "vulnerable people are supported to build their resilience" (HRP SO3).

Snowpack is low, resulting in less water from snowmelt, which has led to declining water tables across the country (FEWSNET 2021). Below average water tables are negatively impacting water quality at the source and increasing the risk of waterborne diseases. Communities with insufficient water at the household level are also unable to practice proven COVID-19 prevention measures such as frequent handwashing. In many rural communities, water tables have yet to fully recover from the 2018 drought and the current conditions foretell prolonged instances of water scarcity and issues related to water quality. In the absence of immediate WASH assistance, rural households living at places of origin may be forced to migrate to urban areas. Through the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund 3rd Reserve Allocation, CRS proposes to provide emergency WASH assistance to rural communities at places of origin in Ashterlay and Sangi Takht districts of Daykundi province, and Yawkawlang and Dar-e-chasht districts in Bamyan province to mitigate the risk of displacement, focusing on the following key activities: 1) Rehabilitation of existing water supply systems to include repairing boreholes, excavating wells, replacing handpumps, and conducting maintenance of gravity-fed pipe schemes 2) Development of new boreholes where there are no other immediate solutions to restore water access 3) Establishment and training of water management committees (WMCs) so that they have the capacity to uphold the continued operation and maintenance of the new and rehabilitated water supply systems. 4) Promotion of household water treatment methods including the provision of water purification tablets where appropriate until safe water access is restored. 5) Hygiene promotion activities that focus on critical handwashing times and incorporate key messages on disease prevention through Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE). For all activities, CRS will closely engage marginalized groups who are often not included in decision-making processes - such as women, adolescent girls, persons living with disabilities (PLwD), and the elderly - to ensure the intervention specifically addresses the WASH needs of whole communities. Intentional consultation with women and girls will ensure the project is sensitive to any gender and gender-based violence (GBV) concerns. Collectively, the project will provide target communities with sustained access to safe water, thereby meeting immediate needs while also building resilience to recurring droughts which are projected to increase in both frequency and severity. The project will assist an estimated 16,380 individuals living in 27 communities in Bamyan and Daykundi. CRS has worked in Daykundi since 2014 and Bamyan since 2010 and provided emergency WASH support in both provinces following a severe drought in 2018. The 2018 drought laid bare the vulnerabilities of communities across Afghanistan to the impact of extreme weather events, which are becoming increasingly severe. The proposed project builds on CRS’ existing operational presence in both locations, where CRS is able to leverage high levels of community acceptance and strong relations with government stakeholders and local leaders. Furthermore, the project will draw on extensive WASH experience from previous projects funded by donors such as USAID and German Ministry of Foreign Affairs (GAA). The proposed project will target communities that are not served by other humanitarian actors and align with CRS Afghanistan’s goal to help the people of Afghanistan realize their potential and live in dignity.Catholic Relief ServicesCatholic Relief ServicesAfghanistan Humanitarian FundAnne BousquetCountry Director+93790030515anne.bousquet@crs.orgJohn VarrieurHead of Programs+93728897237john.varrieur@crs.orgKatherine AsselineHead of Office Bamyan+93 728 897 214katherine.asselin@crs.orgAnne-Claire BenoitHead of Office Daykundi+93794723438anne-claire.benoit@crs.orgMahmood WahidiHead of Operations+93 79 410 1002mahmood.wahidi@crs.orgAndrew KaiserWASH Program Manager+93 0728897226andrew.kaiser@crs.orgBamyan34.90732960 67.18944880Daykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Water, Sanitation and Hygiene53653.51296672.38350325.89Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCatholic Relief Services210195.53Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCatholic Relief Services78766.59Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCatholic Relief ServicesXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/WASH/INGO/20269United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsDecades of conflict and natural disasters have damaged Afghanistan's already limited Water, Sanitation and Hygiene infrastructures. The proportion of the Afghan population with access to safe water remained among the lowest in the world especially because 73% of the population live in rural areas, where the access to Wash basic services is lower compared to urban areas (HNO 2021). Moreover, diminished precipitation during “La Niña” period (Afghanistan: La Niña Drought - Revised Emergency Appeal n° MDRAF007, Revision n° 1 - IFRC) has triggered an exceptional water scarcity crisis in 2021 resulting in the drought declaration by the President of Afghanistan on June 22nd, 2021. In an abnormal way since April before the peak of the dry season in summer (July-August), numerous water sources are drying up or becoming undrinkable. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect all the country, the lack of access to water, as well as hygiene equipment and practices, directly contributes to the spread of the virus and water-born diseases leading to infections and deaths. Furthermore, since the announcement of the withdrawal of the US Army for the end of August 2021, internal conflicts have increased as the IEA has progressively conquered more and more districts until the takeover of Kabul and thus of the entire country on August 15th, 2021. Due to this leadership transition and the collapse of the administration in place, basic services, financial system and markets have been affected in such a way that the already complex living conditions of the most vulnerable people in Afghanistan will more likely deteriorate further. Pre-existing humanitarian needs will, de facto, increase to a larger extent. Indeed, 8.8 million people in need are identified (WASH Cluster Drought Response Strategy 2021). Through a Wash Rapid Needs Assessment (RNA) done early October 2021 (Annex 02), PU-AMI identified prior needs thanks to the interview of relevant stakeholders of Nangarhar and Laghman provinces. In RNA findings, several water points were found damaged due to lack of maintenance and/or without resources. Poor hygiene practices were also highlighted in this RNA. Those identified needs will be addressed through PU-AMI’s response which is in line with this 3rd allocation and will include: water supply systems rehabilitation or set-up, household water treatment promotion, hygiene promotion focusing on handwashing. In that context, PU-AMI overall project objective is to ensure access to safe water while contributing to the improvement of hygiene practices for the vulnerable population living in drought-affected areas of Nangarhar and Laghman provinces. A total of 35 070 people will benefit from this action. To do so, PU-AMI proposes a 9 months action in 2 provinces (Laghman and Nangarhar) highlighted by the recent OCHA flash appeal, targeting districts with higher needs being considered hard-to-reach or white areas, with less presence of other actors and/or with higher incidence of IDPs/returnees.

The strategic objectives of the HRP focus on "lives are saved in the areas of highest needs." The multiple challenges facing the people of Afghanistan in spring 2021, including La Niña-induced climatic anomalies, intensifying conflict, new and protracted internal displacement, and the COVID-19 pandemic, are exacerbating the pre-existing needs and vulnerabilities of millions of Afghans already dealing with the consequences of 40 years of war. The main purpose of the Afghanistan Spring Disaster Contingency Plan 2021 in response to potential drought and other emergencies is to address intersectoral potential needs holistically and calls for an integrated response with WASH, ES-NFI, FSAC, Nutrition, Education, Protection, and Health to mitigate the multiple and overlapping challenges facing the people of Afghanistan as spring approaches – including a potential La Niña-driven drought, intensifying the ongoing conflict, and COVID-19 challenges. In the Spring Disaster Contingency Plan 2021 (SDCP), a total of 13 million is in need, 7.4 million people are planned to reach under all clusters. Specifically, the SDCP 2021, reported 2.7 million people in need of the WASH assistance and planned to reach 1 million people with a total funding requirement of US$26.6 Million. The WASH cluster under the 2021 3rd RA received funds to cover 32 provinces in high, medium, and low priority provinces. ORD proposes the WASH cluster prioritized activities including the Early warning system on drinking water sources, Safe drinking water access at community and household level, Water-efficient proper handwashing, and Agreed location on water points with the most vulnerable in Samangan, Jawzjan, and Paktika provinces. In the target locations, the Samangan province is on the high priority list and the remaining two provinces are also listed as priority target provinces of SDCP 2021. ORD has had a strong presence in all provinces of N/NE regions since 2012, in East since 2014, in SE since 2010, and in central since 2021 and currently has ongoing projects, the Paktika, Samangan, and Jawzjan ongoing projects are including shelter repair assistance under 2021 2nd RA and unconditional seasonal support food under WFP in Paktika province PSN and CBP under UNHCR, Independent monitoring (Quality assurance) of rural water supply projects under UNICEF, Sustainable Employment and Profit through Value Chain and Enterprise Development under NCA, Livelihood protection and minimizing the drought impacts under Caritas Germany in Samangan province four ongoing responses in Jawzjan province under UNICEF, UNHCR, and FAO. The AHF's 2021 3rd RA fund will scale up and fill the ORD's current responses gap, be holistic and become a multi-cluster response to the vulnerable population which is highly affected by drought, conflicts, and COVID-19 in Paktika, Samangan, and Jawzjan provinces. ORD will ensure that the most vulnerable and in need people are among the affected population groups prioritized for this action, with 3957 HHs (27,600 individuals) following WASH cluster standards for natural disaster and conflict-affected people to respond to their WASH needs. Moreover, the project beneficiary/waterpoints selection and distribution will be carried out in line with cluster standards the selection process will be carried out using certain structured questionnaire/scorecard tools which will be shared by the WASH cluster for each modality. in case it was not available, ORD will develop a questionnaire/data collection tools and will coordinate it with the cluster and after their approval, we will use that tools for assessment and beneficiary/projects selection.

The project, implemented directly by the Organization for Coordination of Humanitarian Relief-OCHR, continuing recent and long-standing interventions in these areas, is aligned with the AHF 3rd Reserved Allocation Strategy Priorities 1, and Afghanistan Spring Disaster Contingency Plan (March-June 2021) and has been coordinated through relevant fora, notably the Afghanistan Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Cluster and relevant local authorities. Targeting 1,373 vulnerable families (9,615 individuals) under the WASH humanitarian assistance, OCHR proposes to provide a combination of water supply, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities in targeted areas. The activities will revolve around the prioritizes include: 1. Water source surveillance and drying-up alerts, 2. Supply systems rehabilitation or creation, 3. Household water treatment promotion, 4. Hygiene promotion focusing on handwashing, 5. WASH for GBV risk mitigation, for the elderly and people with disabilities. It is critical in this moment in time to provide immediate support in the areas affected by armed conflict and drought: - In order to prevent further displacement: a significant number of communities are leaving their homes searching for water and areas suitable for agriculture-livestock and drinking water. - In order to prevent communities from falling into deeper poverty: some of the districts identified have been suffering from loss in agriculture and livestock for several season, and they are at risk of losing all their assets if not reached with emergency relief - In order to ensure that the conditions of women and girls do not degenerate deep poverty and deprivation have a heavy toll on women and girls, often more vulnerable and more exposed to risks, especially GBV. To meet the need for a sufficient and safe water supply, 30 existing broken wells will be rehabilitated and 30 new wells will be established. 160 individuals will have access to each water point. Placement of water points within the communities will reduce the burden on women and girls, who currently spend on average more than 20 minutes one-way to reach a water point. The continued functioning of the water points will be managed through local volunteer mechanics, who will be identified and trained in the operation and maintenance of the water systems, and through local caretakers. For water source surveillance and drying-up alerts, strategic well be selected and equipped drying-up alerts system and the aforesaid mentioned caretaker and mechanics will be trained to collect the data regularly and share with relevant stakeholders. Awareness sessions will promote both sanitation and hygiene awareness and practices leading to health risk reduction. 110 hygiene promotion sessions will focus on diarrhea prevention strategies, discouraging open defecation, critical times to wash hands with soap, menstrual hygiene management, and safe household water treatment. The most vulnerable 686 IDP families will receive hygiene kits. During kit distributions, orientation on the correct utilization of the items in the kits will take place. OCHR will mainstream cross-cutting issues such as PSEA, Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP), protection, gender, age, and disability and is an important requirement for WASH humanitarian response project.Organization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefAfghanistan Humanitarian FundGhulam Sadiq SafiDirector General+93700001985director@ochr.org.afFaisal RaofiAdmin/Finance Manager+93744046675adminfinance@ochr.org.afKunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Water, Sanitation and Hygiene56682.21170991.32227673.53Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian Relief91069.41Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian Relief91069.41Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian Relief7372.37Organization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/WASH/NGO/20221United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe project will assist the recent drought, conflict amp COVID-19 affected communities with urgent needs of Zabul (Arghndab and Tarnak wa Jaldak), and Hilmand (Sangin and Mosa Qala) as an emergency response. The droughts prolonged poverty contributes to a worsening humanitarian situation in Afghanistan. Over 18.4 million people require some form of humanitarian and protection assistance in 2021. As per the WASH Cluster strategy AHF 3rd RA, WASH is one of the crucial needs in the targeted districts. The IDP in these areas has further increased humanitarian needs during 2021. In Hilmand and Zabul only a few NGOs are functional as there were hard to reach (HRT) districts, very deprived communities. CAHPO with the collaboration of the community has collected information and wants to support drought and conflict-affected IDPs in the 4 remote districts' access to water, hygiene, and sanitation. As per the WASH cluster strategy CAHPO intends to ensure the provision of emergency water amp hygiene promotion to people with critical needs. Hygiene promotion with focusing on handwashing and distribution of hygiene kits as per the WASH Cluster standard. The aims are to enhance the health, dignity, and protection of vulnerable families’ men, women, boys, and girls. The project target 2250 households or 15750 individuals who will have access to water and receive hygiene promotion training. For sustainability, local mechanics and caretakers will be trained in support of water points. Water Management Committees (WMCs) will be established and trained in separate female and male groups (by female amp male trainers) to keep the water points functional. These groups will carry out the management and maintenance responsibilities once the water points will be handed over. In order to make the intervention sustainable a small water user fee for the maintenance of the water system will be collected and administered. As per the strategy, the activities prioritized include Water source surveillance and drying-up alerts, Supply systems rehabilitation or creation, Household water treatment promotion, Hygiene promotion focusing on handwashing, WASH for GBV risk mitigation, for the elderly, and people with disabilities. Awareness to beneficiaries will be given on hygiene and DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction). Protection, gender, age, disability, and COVID-19 will be mainstream. Totally 4500 people (one female and one male per HH), including traditional Shura members, will participate directly. The coordination with all stakeholders, especially with DRRD, district government, and Shura members is very essential, and also with provincial authorities and DoE. To be accountable to beneficiaries, CHS and the AWAAZ complaint mechanism will be applied. Though the recent change of power and context (reduction of conflict), the people stay displaced in the project area. As per MoRR the displaced HHs still have insufficient income due to several reasons (droughts lead to the reduction of water for an all-purpose, prolonged conflict in the past, COVID-19, and lack of employment) and impacts on the availability of drinking water. The people especially the poor in the rural HHs are expected to be unable to prepare water for their consumption. The combination of past conflict, drought amp Covid-19, has led to over 35% of the population settle in urban areas. As mentioned by most people they can return after rehabilitation of the infrastructures particularly WASH which is the first need. Because of the new administrative change in the Government, it has decided to work through the Shura members those who allowed by the new administration. The previous CDC will not work as normally as before for the time being due to recent changes. In addition, the project team consults the activities with the NGO commission of the new administration. Though, some of the issues are sensitive but the project team will try to advocate for them, e.g. GBV, access to wells for women.Community Action for Healing Poverty OrganizationCommunity Action for Healing Poverty OrganizationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundZabiullah GhazawiDirector General +93774723052cahpo.kbl@gmail.comMir Afzal Program Director +93799329337m.afzal@cahpo.comMohammed Shoaib NasemiFinance Manager+93793659196Shoaib.nasemi@gmail.comHilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Zabul32.19187820 67.18944880Water, Sanitation and Hygiene32921.34346457.86379379.20Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCommunity Action for Healing Poverty Organization99758.24Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCommunity Action for Healing Poverty Organization113813.76Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCommunity Action for Healing Poverty Organization113813.76Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCommunity Action for Healing Poverty Organization51993.44Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCommunity Action for Healing Poverty Organization239.24Community Action for Healing Poverty OrganizationUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs2916.73Community Action for Healing Poverty OrganizationUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/RA3/WASH/NGO/20415United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsForty years of war, recurrent natural disasters, chronic poverty, drought and the COVID-19 pandemic have devastated the people of Afghanistan. The recent escalation in conflict and resulting upheaval has only exacerbated needs and further complicated an extremely challenging operational context. Even prior to the events of 15 August, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan was one of the worst in the world. By the mid-year mark, nearly half of the population – some 18.4 million people – were already in need of humanitarian and protection assistance in 2021. Water scarcity further exacerbated due to diminished precipitation during the La Nina period. The government of Afghanistan officially declared a drought on June 22, 2021, where it was indicated that 30% of the country is exposed to drought, stating 50% to serious drought while 20% to moderate drought. So, it has become much difficult and challenging situation for conflict and drought affected communities to get access to safe water for drinking, washing and hygiene. In addition, poor hygiene conditions have much contributed to communicable diseases throughout the country, and the covid-19 outbreak has further deteriorated preexisting WASH needs since 2020. Lack of access to basic hygiene supplies and sanitation has placed communities at heightened risk of acute respiratory infections and diarrheal diseases specifically for children under five. If this situation is not addresses, then it is much likely to exacerbate not only the spread of COVID-19 but also putting affected population at risk of other waterborne diseases. To respond to this worse situation, as part of this proposed project, AABRAR will provide lifesaving WASH support to total of 19,210 affected people (5763 women, 5763 men, 3842 girls and 3842 boys) in the targeted communities of districts of Farah, Bakwa and Bala Buluk of Farah Province. The major activities under this intervention will be as following. 1) provision of safe water for drinking, washing and personal hygiene through construction of 10 boreholes fitted with hand-pumps, construction of 2 boreholes with solar operating system and emergency trucking of water as a last resort to the communities much impacted by conflict and drought. 2) Procurement and distribution of 1,700 hygiene kits to most vulnerable people with the aim to promote good hygiene practices including encouraging handwashing with soap. 3) Along with distribution of hygiene kits distribution, hygiene education will be provided to the targeted affected communities, which will cover key topics including covid-19, personal hygiene, safe water transport and storage as well as handwashing with antiseptic soap and waste management. Moreover, throughout the project implementation period, AABRAR will coordinate activities of the project with all concerned stakeholders including WASH Cluster, MRRD, PRRD, UNOCHA, district and provincial government and concerned local communities in Farah Province in order to ensure effective delivery of service and on-time completion.Afghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundWaheed ShahProject Manager0093 (0) 770615156waheedshah@aabrar.org.afDr. Abdul BaseerExecutive Director0093 (0) 775558885abdulbaseer@aabrar.org.afFarah32.49532800 62.26266270Water, Sanitation and Hygiene17729.55231666.05249395.60Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation99758.24Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation149637.36Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/APC/INGO/21129United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThis project will provide protection and MHPSS services to the highly vulnerable children in 4 districts of Maidan Wardak and 4 districts of Logar province. Children in Crisis requests 317.477 USD to provided case management, MHPSS, Family Tracing and Reunification (FTR), interim care and recreational activities to a total of 18,748 individuals in Puli Alam, Baraki Barak, Khoshi and Mohammad Agha districts of Logar province and Sayed Abad, Jalriz, Maidan Shahr, and Nerkh districts of Maidan Wardak Province. The districts prioritized considering the high protection need. With financial assistance of UNICEF Children in Crisis currently provides MHPSS, case management, multipurpose cash assistance, and recreational services through CFSs in all the targeted districts and provinces. The project promotes the physical and psychosocial protection of vulnerable conflict and crisis-affected children and women through (i) Case management services (which includes identification, intervention plan , provision of specialized MHPSS services, and referral services for vulnerable children (ii) Establishment and training of community based protection committees to identify, respond to protection risks and incidents and refer and follow up for specific services, (iii), Family Tracing and Reunification (FTR), interim care and reunification of UASCs. The project will provide case management service to a total of 960 cases, 80 vulnerable communities shall benefit from the functional community-based protection committees which shall be trained to mitigate and respond to protection risks of individuals and groups in the community 4562 individuals will benefit from the MHPSS services which will be provided by the project MHPSS counselors as well as specialized services which will be provided by the service providers. 80 UASC children at significant risk due to separation from caregivers will receive counselling, interim care and reunified with the care givers. Additional 12,586 individuals including (5,034 boys, 3,776 girls, 2,517 men and 1,259 women) will have increased awareness about child rights, child protection risks such as early marriage, child labor, trafficking in person, illegal migration and referral pathways. CIC will directly implement the project in Maidan wardak and in partnership with OFRD in Logar province, OFRD is a strategic partner with CIC on CP, education, and CTIP/Irregular Migration since last 3 years. The new strategic partnership between OFRD and CIC will lead OFRD’s further capacity building to work and serve as local Afghan NGO for Afghan people. Thus, OFRD has very rich working experience in the area of counter human trafficking/illegal migration and fight with BGV. OFRD was able to establish the Afghanistan Network for Combating Trafficking in Persons (ANCTIP) – www.anctip.org in July 2017. The Afghanistan Network for Combating Trafficking in Persons (ANCTIP) is assembled of Civil Society Organizations and Non-Governmental Organizations which established with the support of International Organization for Migration (IOM) in July 2017. The partnership of two organization will add value to the sustainability and impact of the project as general but more specifically in following areas: - OFRD expertise would be used to raise awareness on child protection issues but mainly trafficking in person, improve advocacy on combating trafficking in person and protection of children. Preventing, identification and response to the TiP more cases and more specifically cases of Bachabazi in two provinces. - Children in Crisis will build the technical but also organizational capacity of OFRD to ensure they apply for AHF partnership and pass due diligence directly or through ACBAR twining programme. - Being a local organization, OFRD has strong community acceptance and therefore would safely implement the sensitive TIP activities beside general child protection activities.Children in CrisisChildren in CrisisOrganization of Fast Relief and DevelopmentAfghanistan Humanitarian FundFraidoon AmiriSenior Programme Manager0093700160095fraidoon.amiri@street-child.orgHamidullah AbawiCountry Representative0093795767676h.abawi@street-child.orgLogar34.01455180 69.19239160Wardak34.35134940 68.23853390Protection241330.1873523.53314853.71Afghanistan Humanitarian FundChildren in Crisis188912.23Afghanistan Humanitarian FundChildren in Crisis125941.48Afghanistan Humanitarian FundChildren in Crisis21713.10Children in CrisisUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs2794.65Children in CrisisUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/APC/INGO/21201United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSince August 2021, HALO has received multiple urgent requests from community members and the new de-facto authorities in Farah, Helmand and Kandahar to address the extensive improvised mine (IM) contamination in the region. In response to these requests, and in alignment with the priorities of the Mine-Action sub-cluster, HALO proposes to implement a project focused on life-saving IM clearance and Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) to address the emergency needs of communities living and migrating near areas of heavy IM contamination. HALO’s activities will seek to improve human security and livelihood opportunities through the removal of improvised mines and the delivery of risk education in Farah, Kandahar and Helmand provinces through the following activities: Clearance of IM-contaminated land: Improved local security conditions across the country is increasing access to many new and once hard-to-reach and heavily mine affected communities. HALO will deploy five manual improvised demining teams (DT) and one mechanical demining unit (MDU) to Bala Buluk district of Farah province, and Arghandab district of Kandahar province for six months.Under this project, HALO’s activities will support the UN-HMACCA and the Mine Action Programme of Afghanistan (MAPA) to advance towards achievement of Afghanistan's international obligations under the Ottawa Mine Ban Treaty. A week of mobilisation and refresher training will be conducted prior to the deployment of teams to the task sites. Provision of EORE sessions to educate affected communities on the dangers of explosive items including improvised mines, and COVID-19: HALO will deploy three EORE teams (two of which will be mixed-gender) in Helmand and Farah provinces for six months. Deployment of one all-male EORE team will ensure HALO is able to deliver EORE in more conservative areas where it may be challenging to employ mixed-gender teams. A week of mobilisation and refresher training will be conducted prior to the deployment of teams to the affected communities. Despite the dangers posed by improvised devices and other explosive ordnance (EO), many continue to use known hazardous land and access routes out of economic necessity, risking injury and death to themselves. HALO will promote safe behaviour by informing the beneficiaries on the appearance and dangers of mines, including improvised mines, and other EO, common signs of contamination, and how to respond to and report contamination. In addition to delivering EORE messaging, the EORE personnel have been trained to deliver COVID-19 messaging which contributes to the national efforts to reduce the spread of the virus and help those affected. Sessions will be divided between approximately 75 percent EORE messaging and 25 percent COVID-19 messaging. HALO’s proposed project seeks to achieve the following outputs: 1. 13 hazardous areas released and removed from the national database (IMSMA) 2. At least 250,550 square meters of hazardous ground cleared of IMs 3. 4,117 (842 men, 820 women, 1,267 boys, 1,188 girls) individuals directly benefit from clearance, and 7,729 (1,722 men, 1,715 women, 2,140 boys and 2,152 girls) indirectly 4. 24,840 individuals receive EORE (4,620 men, 3,220 women, 9,500 boys, 7,500 girls) All beneficiary counting is in line with beneficiary definitions agreed between UN-HMACCA/DMAC and HALO.

In this context, as vulnerable populations across Afghanistan struggle to access basic needs such as adequate shelter, housing, land and property (HLP) rights are often not prioritized by people or humanitarian actors, but must be safeguarded. Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), returnees and host communities must be empowered and supported to claim and secure HLP rights. NRC, through its Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) program, aims to promote access to rights through emergency legal support to vulnerable populations. This will be done primarily through the provision of legal awareness, counselling and legal assistance on HLP and related rights, including the right to civil documentation. This is particularly important as inaccurate information on entitlements in the current dynamic legal context can exacerbate challenges and frustrate displacement-affected persons, leading to negative coping mechanisms. Further, NRC will undertake HLP assessments and disseminate evidence-based reports, and provide capacity building for informal justice actors to promote improved decision-making. The proposed actions will be implemented over a 12 month period in Northern Afghanistan – Balkh province (7 districts - Mazar, Dehdadi, Nahrshahi, Chemtal, Sholgara, Charbolak and Dawlatabad districts) and Kunduz province (6 districts - Kunduz, Chahar Dara, Qalaizal, Archi, Alibad and Emam Sahib districts) - and Central Afghanistan – in Kabul province (4 districts – Kabul (Central), Charasyab, Dehsabz, Mosawi). These are areas with high numbers of IDPs and returnees, and different drivers of displacement, where HLP needs are high, and where the humanitarian response is currently unable to adequately address the HLP needs. After the fall of the government in 2021, the political, social, and economic situation in Afghanistan has been seriously impacted, affecting the lives of people across the country and causing displacement, particularly marginalised populations such as women, children, and persons with disabilities. Major concerns continue for the human rights of Afghan population that got displaced into the urban and formal and informal settlements across the country. Serious violations and human rights abuses have been observed and reported among these displaced communities and overall in the country, as well as limited freedom of religion and expression and limited freedom of movement. To support the Afghanistan Protection Cluster in terms of identifying and reporting protection concerns, NRC will conduct protection monitoring to enhance evidence-based advocacy for the communities living in targeted formal and informal settlements. NRC will advocate to local authorities, UN agencies, donors, and other humanitarian partners to strengthen humanitarian coordination in regards to the humanitarian response. NRC will deploy dedicated protection field monitors to conduct protection monitoring. The field protection monitors will maintain a stable presence in the targeted communities, will be conducting regular protection monitoring visits following an agreed upon methodology for data collection (key informant interviews, household interviews), as well as analysis and reporting in Herat Province (Injil and Karukh Districts) and Kunduz Province (Kunduz City, Archi, and Qalaizal Districts) and in Balkh Province (Mazar city Chahr bolak, Nahri shahi, Dehdadi Districts).

This project will be a continuation of a current OCHA-funded Child Protection project activities by reaching more children, increasing the impact of the activities for the targeted children amp communities, and building on the relationships built with the community and key stakeholders and the in-depth local knowledge of the community’s needs. It will also include adaptations and innovations using learning from the current project to ensure it is appropriate and relevant to the needs of the affected population. The proposed project will reduce the negative coping strategies and build the residence by enhancing the wellbeing of children and families and by ensuring vulnerable children and families have timely and effective access to individual child protection assistance and improvements in their psychosocial wellbeing to increase their resilience to current and future shocks. Through proposed activities, WCUK will work closely with existing community structures to promote the ownership and sustainability of the intervention. The proposed project will also strengthen Community Based Child protection mechanism through capacity building training, coaching and mentoring, organizing joint awareness-raising campaigns, and strengthening coordination, referral, and linking CBCPCs with multi-sectorial actors such as education, health, food, livelihood, shelter, and water sanitation and this will help create a sustainable approach for longer-term services beyond the project period. WCUK will ensure the continuation of psycho-social activities through 12 child-friendly spaces across the three targeted provinces. These spaces will ensure children have a safe space to play, learn, and make friends as well as participate in structured and unstructured PSS activities that support their social and emotional learning and promote their resilience and well-being. WCUK will continue to manage and capacity build a team of trained caseworkers to provide Case Management to emergency-affected boys and girls including unaccompanied and separated children in the three target provinces to address child protection needs and reduced negative coping mechanisms. Operating help desks in the affected communities in the targeted areas where UASC cases can be identified and reported to the caseworker team for family tracing and reunification will be part of the project intervention. This project will also support the provision of cash assistance/protection assistance for the most at-risk individuals living in vulnerable households to enable them to access services and meet basic essential needs and respond to protection risks and reduce the risks of adopting negative coping mechanisms in the short term. The Cash Assistance is complementary to case management and community-based child protection work through this project to improve the protection of children and families and reduce negative coping mechanism such as child marriage, child labor and unsafe migration. The modality of cash delivery is one time off cash amounting USD 179 per individual as per the March CVA MEB through selected financial service providers (HAWALA). The project will also conduct cash feasibility assessment to determine appropriate and safe delivery of cash. The project will be implemented in close coordination with community-based child protection committee, child protection in emergency sub-cluster in respective provinces, and other humanitarian actors working in the same locations in order to efficiently fill the gap, link with the other ongoing programs, and strengthen the local capacity to respond to the child protection needs in emergencies in the long term.

The needs of the population remain high and since the approaches of former projects proved to be highly effective, Tdh proposes to embark on another project for vulnerable IDPs, returnees, and conflict affected population of Nangarhar province. The project intends to strengthen the resilience of these groups by reducing vulnerabilities through access to information on CP, by addressing specific needs through community delivered life-saving psycho-social services, the establishment of a case management system (protection) and by strengthening protection mechanisms through Community Based Child Protection Committees (CBCPC, consisting of influential people in the community such as teachers) and volunteers. These activities will be delivered in order to improve the coping mechanism of children and to detect most vulnerable children in need of further assistance. The separated and unaccompanied children will be provided with prevention and response through interim care in Jalalabad. The activities will be implemented by expert Tdh social worker and social animator in the districts mentioned below. The data collected during the planned activities will be shared with the clusters and OCHA regularly and, when relevant, will be shared with other partners for further support for the intervention area. The sustainability and relevancy of the proposed project will be reinforced by integrating lessons learned and impact analysis based on the assessment report. Child wellbeing centres will be run for children who are at risk of violence which will be a safe place for the children to go an engage in mental health boosting activities such as games and art and learning about their rights. These activities will be delivered to improve the coping mechanism of children and to detect most vulnerable children in need of further assistance. Any cases of separated and unaccompanied children will be provided with prevention and response through interim care in Jalalabad. Moreover, the project also has a cash for protection element where cash assistance will be used to address the protection needs of individuals or households.

Children and their families have little knowledge and understanding of child rights and protection. The proposed project aims to address child protection concerns and needs of the children including adolescent girls and to improve their wellbeing, and build their resilience against life-threatening risks of violence, abuse, exploitation, and neglect caused by conflict, disaster, economic hardship, displacement, and the COVID-19 pandemic, by increasing public awareness, establishing and strengthening community based protection approaches and provision of case management services including re-unification of the children with their families and communities in Shirzad, Achin, Momandara and Sarkhrood of Nangarhar, and Puli Alam and Mohmmad Agha districts of Logar provinces. War Child Canada through the proposed grant will support 9,720 children and their caregivers by establishing Child Friendly Spaces (CFSs) and case management services. War Child Canada with support from local communities will establish and equip 36 CFSs with required supplies, informal learning and recreational materials and engage 2,000 children with the provision of mental health and psychosocial counseling, life skills and informal education and structured recreational activities by trained CFS Volunteer Facilitators. War Child Canada will establish new and engage existing community-based child protection mechanisms (CBCPMs) and train the members (separately for women and men) on child rights and protection including PSEA strategies and tools. Following the orientation and trainings sessions, War Child Canada will support CBCPMs to effectively conduct active surveillance of child protection issues in the community and address those at the community level and refer cases to relevant service providers. CBCPM members and CFS volunteer facilitators will be engaged in community sensitization through parenting education and community dialogue. With an aim to reduce separation of children and other vulnerabilities that lead to separation including child labour, trafficking, early and force marriages and increased exposure to exploitation and violence including gender-based violence. War Child Canada through trained child protection and case management staff and by using case management SOPs and tools will register and provide case management services to the children including family tracing, counselling with children and families, and reunification of unaccompanied and separated children.

After collapse of the republic government and takeover of Taliban in August 2021, the protection situation deteriorated and the protection risks increased for Afghans especially for those who worked with former government, women, civil activist, vulnerable populations at risk including IDPs, returnees, etc.The proposed project aims to deliver “Cash for PSN- 200 USD per individual case” assistance to Person with Specific Needs (PSN) under Individual Protection Assistance (IPA), “Cash for Protection-264 USD per household” assistance to vulnerable households that have unaddressed protection needs. IPA aims to address protection risks that are time-sensitive and require immediate actions while “Cash for Protection” targets those households who have underlying and unaddressed protection needs, and the Cash for Protection aims to prevent their imminent exposure to further risks that may jeopardize their physical and mental well-being. For PSN, the cluster approved criteria will be used which ensures the individuals under specific needs receive the assistance to address their specific needs while cash for protection will mainly focus on general protection risks affecting the target households The project will initially target 200 individuals under “Cash for PSN” (100 in Kabul, 50 in Panjshir and 50 in Ghazni) and 520 households under “Cash for Protection” (220 in Kabul, 150 in Panjshir and 150 in Ghazni) in proposed target locations on need basis. We will initially target 70% IDPs in displacement or return situations and 30% non-displaced affected population in proposed target locations. The direct cash assistance will be delivered as one-off assistance through contracted Money Service Provider (MSP) in the presence of distribution committee formed with the collaboration of de-facto government line departments, OCT members, UN agencies, INGOs, NNGOs, community representatives and other stakeholders. Due to bank liquidity problems and feasibility of direct cash payments through contract MSP as we recently experienced in our CBI interventions, we prefer provisions of the assistance through direct cash modality through contracted MSP. The project activities will be closely coordinated with regional cluster focal points, OCHA field units, government line departments, UN agencies, IOM, INGOs, NNGOs and other stakeholders to address a collaborative humanitarian response in the target regions as well as to avoid any possible duplication in the response. In the beginning phase, a rapid market assessment exercise will be conducted in all target districts to ensure the local markets exist, are accessible, functional and have enough capacity to cover the needs of the population. The cluster recommended tool(s) will be used for beneficiary selection, vulnerability analysis and post distribution monitoring exercise. We will also use additional tools to prioritize as per vulnerability criteria to ensure those subjected to higher risks receive the assistance. We will closely work with government line departments, beneficiary representatives and other stakeholders to identify and select our distribution points in target provinces, which shall be safe and accessible for men, women, children, elderly and persons with disability with enough facilitation in place. The COVID-19 protocols will be strictly applied throughout the implementation process to ensure safety of our staff, participants and stakeholders. Project visibility, reporting to cluster, AHF and government will be properly managed as per the requirements of each party. We will use the services of AWAAZ Afghanistan and our internal hotline number to register the complaints, and will ensure that the target communities receive our complaint leaflets during the assessments and distribution.

DAFA will address the high priority hazards under this project, as per its accredited AIM SOP and release clear/hand over the land as cleared/safe to the communities for their immediate productive use. This proposed project aims to reduce AIM and ERW related deaths and disabilities enhancing socio-economic situation of the communities by: Releasing contaminated land using methods such as NTS, TS and Clearance, Raising awareness regarding Mine/ERW risks among 24000 individuals, Training community volunteers to continue spreading risk awareness across other communities during project and in future (when/where needed), Collecting Victim Data, Clearance of the AIM hazards will allow and enable the communities around to productively use the land for social, economic and rehabilitation purposes and it will pave the way for the development projects to come into effect. The clearance of AIM hazards will include: - Non-technical survey: The survey will ensure new hazards are identified through the standard NTS procedure and reported/record in order to be addressed in line with the prioritization system. Besides, NTS of the existing known hazards will help to identify the real boundaries of the hazards and reduce the waste of efforts covering no-hazard areas within the polygon. Clearance of AIM hazards: DAFA has distinct trained personnel trained and certified and AIM standard operating procedures accredited, able to address the AIM hazards expertly and efficiently. The AIM steps and planning is described throughout this proposal indicate our commitment and capacity of being able to address the AIM hazards and help the community people recover to a safe and conducive living environment and economic growth. - Explosive Ordnance Risk Education: DAFA couple teams will conduct EORE sessions in various communities in consultation with the UN regional offices and both tasked and ad hoc (as advised). The EORE teams will reach the vulnerable community people including women, girls, boys and men to help prevent AIM/ERW accidents. Female EORE trainer will mainly focus to reach the community women and girls and provide them risk awareness in order for them to remain safe and keep their children safe from the danger of AIM in their surroundings. Implementation of this demining/EORE project promises facilitation of enhanced yield of communities’ cultivation and traditional agribusiness Besides, this project will facilitate the returnees and humanitarian actors to donate for the ruined school reconstruction and un-sealed road rehabilitation and will pave the way for other reconstruction activities in the project areas and as well as the clear area will be utilized for firewood collecting and herding their animals.

According the Afghanistan Humanitarian Needs Overview 2022 there are 504,000 new IDPs, 758,000 new returnees and a total of 23.2 million vulnerable people in Afghanistan. The recent changes in the political situation of country alongside natural disaster and socio-economic background of targeted population makes them vulnerable for several psychosocial problems that may affect their current and future life. Current proposed project will support more than 20,000 men, women, boys and girls including people with disabilities in need of psychosocial services in two IDPs and refugee settlement in Nangarhar province. This project contributes in the achievement of HRP 2022 and Protection Cluster objectives. Throughout this project TACT will provide a set of psychosocial protect services for the targeted population including the provision of Psychosocial Support (PSS) services, referral to specialized services, raising the awareness of communities in the targeted population, using the local volunteer teachers to establish non-formal learning spaces and social emotional learning (SEL) for children, men and women. During the project period, TACT will do its best to encourage the engagement of community in all phases of the project design and implantation, and maintain effective coordination with de facto authorities, community elders, and religious leaders of the target area in the context. TACT will work hard on sensitive programming to address sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) issues.

IOM Protection programme support at risk undocumented returnees to return and reintegrate in safety and dignity through the provision of tailored assistance at border points and in provinces of return. Additionally, in light of the marked deterioration of security in Afghanistan, according to UNOCHA as of October over 677,000 individuals had been internally displaced in 2021. IOM will integrate the most vulnerable IDPs within its case management and protection monitoring response to mitigate protection risks and support integration in host communities or IDP settlements. Interventions will include: Protection screeners at Islam Qala (Herat) and border point will screen undocumented returnees and identify Persons with Specific Needs (PSN) – including women/children at risk, serious medical cases and persons with disabilities – who returned in need of protection post-arrival assistance. Such assistance will be delivered by Protection Monitoring and Case Management Workers in Herat and Nimroz transit centres, including the provision of information, referrals, and assistance including family tracing, emergency accommodation, and safe transportation by flight to returnees’ chosen final destination. Safe and dignified reintegration is supported in 11 provinces (Badakhshan, Balkh, Faryab, Ghor. Herat, Kabul, Kandahar, Nangahar, Nimroz, Sar-E-Pul, Takhar (second-level will vary)) through protection case management for undocumented returnee and IDP households which include PSN in their household. Following in-depth case assessments, households are supported through dissemination of key protection information, referral to local services, and one-off assistance such as cash for protection to meet immediate needs and mitigate protection risks, including risks of resorting to negative coping mechanisms such as begging, child labour/marriage. Regular protection monitoring (household surveys, key informant interviews and direct observations) is undertaken in coordination with the Afghanistan Protection Cluster to understand the protection environment for undocumented returnees. Monitoring takes place across all locations to track protection trends, monitor human rights violations, and support analysis to inform evidence-based advocacy for effective protection and wider humanitarian response across Afghanistan. This programme will target a total of 15,512 persons. This includes a total of 10,745 individuals reach with case management assistance, an overlapping 2,464 persons receiving post-arrival assistance at border points and 2,553 persons engaged in protection monitoring (2,220 persons overlapping with case management and 333 unique beneficiaries). Note: the 2,464 persons receiving post arrival assistance are fully counted as overlapping with the case management caseload. In reality the overlap will not be 100% but this will only be known during reporting.International Organization for MigrationInternational Organization for MigrationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundFloriane EchegutProtection Officer+93794177817fechegut@iom.intSusan PriceProject Development Officer+93794795117sprice@iom.intDavid MavengereSenior Resource Management Officer+251929001380dmavengere@iom.intBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Balkh36.89091580 67.18944880Faryab36.07956130 64.90595500Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Hirat34.34194400 62.20305600Kabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Nimroz31.02614880 62.45041540Sar-e-Pul35.67074730 66.04635340Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Protection999999.58999999.58Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for Migration999999.58Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for MigrationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/APC/UN/21259United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe conflict in Afghanistan exacerbates gender inequality, Gender-based Violence (GBV) and harmful practices – both directly and indirectly. The change in government directly impacts access to education, health, protection and basic services for women, girls, and vulnerable groups. Women and girls are at increased risk of violence in conflict due to displacement, breakdown of social structures, lack of law enforcement, potential further entrenchment of harmful gender norms, and loss of livelihood opportunities for both men and women. UNFPA leads key interventions in responding to the needs of women, girls and GBV survivors through Family Protection Centers (FPC) to provide integrated package of health and psychosocial support. FPCs provide free, confidential, and quality protection and health services primarily for women and girls. FPCs are female staffed facilities functional in hospitals at the provincial and district level. Among services provided at FPCs are in-house medical, psychosocial, and basic legal services optional referrals to additional GBV response services and follow-up care at community level. The need for such services has increased and therefore the need for the continuation is crucial for existing FPCs to respond to the emerging needs. Furthermore, FPCs distribute dignity kits to women and girls. Dignity kits contain hygiene and sanitary items, as well as other items explicitly tailored towards the local needs of women and girls of reproductive age in particular communities. Generic hygiene kits help people improve cleanliness (with items such as soap, sanitary materials, toothbrushes, and toothpaste). While dignity kits are similar to basic hygiene kits often distributed in emergency contexts, dignity kits serve a broader purpose and contain a wider range of items. Dignity kits help women and girls maintain their dignity during humanitarian crises. Preserving dignity is essential to maintaining self-esteem and confidence, which is important to cope in stressful and potentially overwhelming humanitarian situations. Supporting women’s self-esteem and confidence also assists them in providing care and protection to their children. UNFPA will maintain its existing partnership with IMC, HNTPO, and HEWAD to run 30 FPCs in 25 provinces: Daikundi, Jawzjan, Bamyan, Baghlan, Kunduz, Faryab, Samangan, Balkh, Kabul, Parwan, Kapisa, Farah, Laghman, Nimroz, Khost, Nangarhar, Ghor, Hirat, Badghis, Paktia, Takhar, Uruzgan, Helmand, Kandahar, Sar-E Pul. As part of UNFPA's partnership with IMC, HNTPO and HEWAD, UNFPA is committed to strengthening partner GBV capacity, and will be responsible for the overall provision of GBV and CMR-IPV training to partners. This will further complement UNFPA's humanitarian scale-up and include technical supervision from both an International and national staff focusing on training, coaching and supervision to ensure high quality interventions.

The situation is further exacerbated since the Taliban takeover in August 2021. The resulting political, social and economic shocks have led to a further deterioration in the protection and humanitarian situation in 2022. Under this project, UNHCR therefore seeks to respond to the needs of all persons within the targeted population groups under the 2021 and 2022 HRPs (Internally Displaced Persons – IDPS, refugees and returnees, vulnerable people with humanitarian needs and shock-affected non-displaced persons), prioritizing those with heightened protection risks or persons with specific needs (PSN). Specifically, the activities that UNHCR propose to undertake include: Assistance to 2,235 PSNs including 1,545 persons through cash, 400 persons through counselling, and 290 persons through in-kind assistance and referrals to other service providers. UNHCR’s PSN programme is an integral part of its Afghanistan Protection and Solutions Strategy. It aims to strengthen the protection environment for PSN amongst UNHCR’s persons of concern across Afghanistan, applying a whole-of-community approach. Assistance is provided on an individual basis to people assessed as having acute vulnerabilities. The activity will be implemented in following provinces/districts: Provision of Cash for Basic Needs to 1,805 individuals UNHCR systematically identifies individuals and groups with vulnerabilities at heightened risk or require an early intervention to as well as mitigate against negative coping mechanisms caused by the economic crisis as well the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, UNHCR will continue providing multipurpose cash to vulnerable families to address their basic and essential needs. Previously called cash for protection, this assistance reflects the broader scope of needs it addresses. Provision of Mental Health Psycho-Social Services (MHPSS) to 650 individuals The Whole of Afghanistan Assessment 2021 conducted by REACH in the context of the 2021 Humanitarian Programme Cycle, shows a high level of needs for MHPSS services. Sixty-six per cent of men and 61 per cent of women in assessed households reported at least one behavioral change in the past year, including aggressive or violent conduct by men and crying by women, boys and girls, with poverty and financial stress mentioned as factors. UNHCR will provide counselling through individual sessions, separately for men and women, and boys and girls as appropriate, in addition to family counselling and groups sessions to community members. These sessions will be provided in community centers and on-site during field missions. For the implementation of this project, UNHCR Sections - Programme, Project Control, CBI and Protection will be involved, however, the entire project will be led by Programme. UNHCR staff receive standard salaries and work on requested projects during the duration of their contracts. UNHCR staff salaries are provided by other sources. Further implementation support will be provided by partners namely ORD, WADAN, CHA, WAW and WASSA. Implementing partners are not provided with 7% PSC because the support costs have been provided within partner budget lines as laid out in the project budget document under the documents tab.

In 2022, Awaaz will continue providing a reliable two-way information relay between affected people and humanitarian responders to help combat the impact of the economic fallout, drought, sporadic flooding, conflict and COVID-19 as outlined in HNO 2022. Since its inception in 2018, Awaaz has handled more than 201,000 calls from all 34 provinces of the country. As a collective and cross-sectoral project, Awaaz provides a nationwide and toll-free hotline and can share location-relevant information with affected people in line with needs on an ad-hoc basis, as well as to monitor and share relevant information on emerging needs and issues reported from the ground with respective partners. Strengthening Awaaz as the central remote feedback channel is considered a top Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) priority and need in the country, which becomes even more crucial when areas become (temporarily) inaccessible due to conflicts or shocks inflicted by natural disasters. At full capacity, Awaaz can communicate directly with over 4,000 Afghans per month from the entire country, or indirectly with 28,000 Afghans (based on an average family size of seven). However, the number of indirect beneficiaries is likely much higher as one caller may be calling in on behalf of an entire community (i.e. community leaders). Functioning as a cross-network, toll-free call centre, by dialling 410, any Afghan with access to a mobile phone can speak to one of eight operators in either Dari, Pashto, Urdu or English, to access information on or lodge feedback about the ongoing humanitarian interventions around the country. Relaying this self-identification of needs and priorities to the humanitarian community (disaggregated by gender, age, location and needs) promotes the integration of beneficiaries’ feedback into the programme cycle and endorses the Grand Bargain’s commitment to the participation revolution. Additionally, Awaaz sets its AAP targets in line with the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) and the HRP’s efforts to support effective coordination through the Cluster system under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC). With the uncertain and unstable situation in the country, slow- and sudden-onset crises looming, a deterioration to the protection environment is anticipated during and beyond 2022. By communicating feedback in real-time, Awaaz can support humanitarian partners’ capacity to detect and respond to needs and provide lifesaving emergency interventions. As such, Awaaz requires funding from the AHF to continue providing the following vital services upon which the delivery of an effective, coordinated and accountable humanitarian response in Afghanistan depends: The immediate relay of accurate information that enables informed decision making, especially in times of crises, whether natural or man-made, when at-risk communities are further exposed to protection violations The rapid processing of urgent protection concerns, including allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA), as well as International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and International Human Rights Law (IHRL) violations The reporting of self-identified needs, priorities, and vulnerabilities that can help ensure programmes deliver immediate and effective assistance to prevent the loss of life The opening up of hard-to-reach areas especially in times of sudden crises to support the humanitarian community’s ability to assess and respond to needs in underserved areas The support of monitoring efforts to ensure assistance is provided in a principled and dignified manner to all populations in need, equally.United Nations Office for Project ServicesUnited Nations Office for Project ServicesAfghanistan Humanitarian FundEdrees OmedProject Manager+93 (0)728932760edreeso@unops.orgMikael Christensen Head of Programme+93 (0)728514099mikaelc@unops.orgLucie AnavPartnerships Specialist+93 (0)729101654LucieA@unops.orgNicholas GeorgeCountry Director Representative+46 703372272nicholasg@unops.orgMahboobullah MahboobProject Support Associate+93 (0)729101604MahboobullahMA@unops.orgAmjad MuhammadHead of Support Services (HoSS)+93 (0)728933147AmjadMu@unops.orgBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Badghis35.16713390 63.76953840Baghlan35.80429470 69.28775350Balkh36.89091580 67.18944880Bamyan34.90732960 67.18944880Daykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Farah32.49532800 62.26266270Faryab36.07956130 64.90595500Ghazni33.55000000 68.41666700Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Hilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Hirat34.34194400 62.20305600Jawzjan36.89696920 65.66585680Kabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Kapisa34.98105720 69.62145620Khost33.35850790 69.85974060Kunar34.84658930 71.09731700Kunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Laghman34.68976870 70.14558050Logar34.01455180 69.19239160Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Nimroz31.02614880 62.45041540Paktika32.26453860 68.52471490Paktya33.70619900 69.38310790Panjsher35.88333300 69.11666700Parwan34.96309770 68.81088490Samangan35.98072960 67.57085360Sar-e-Pul35.67074730 66.04635340Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Uruzgan32.92712870 66.14152630Wardak34.35134940 68.23853390Zabul32.19187820 67.18944880Protection722922.54722922.54Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Office for Project Services722922.54Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Office for Project ServicesXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/APC/UN/21343United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsUNICEF’s proposal will support 79,000 vulnerable children, including children with disabilities who experienced violence, with Child Protection (CP) response services. In addition, a total of 96,687 children and caregivers will be reached with awareness raising and information messaging on wellbeing. The 16 targeted districts of Helmand, Faryab, Kunduz and Baghlan provinces, in both Southern and Northern Regions, are rated high priority in the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2022, as there are limited child protection services and high numbers of children in need. UNICEF will continue to work with the de facto authority at the local level and non-government partners to reach children and their communities affected by conflict and disasters with child protection lifesaving interventions. These include: the provision of Mental Health and Psychosocial (MHPSS) services family tracing and reunification (FTR) including supporting orphans that are abandoned in institutions prevention of killing and maiming of children through Explosive Ordinance Risk Education (EORE), provision of gender-based violence (GBV) services and monitoring and reporting on the six grave violations against children in line with the UN Security Council resolutions 1612 (20050 and other subsequent resolution on children and armed conflict. The project will also provide case management for most vulnerable children, alternative care, winterization kits, referral to specialized services and other basic services comprising of health, nutrition and education. Cash assistance will form part of the case management for children at risk or victims of violations including grave violations. Sensitization and awareness raising on COVID-19 and other Child Protection (CP) issues in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) settlements and host communities will be an integral part of the project. During the project period, UNICEF will work with partners on sensitive programming to address sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) issues that are anticipated to arise due to the ongoing crises, and find innovative modalities (including adopting of alternative terminologies) to provide services to children victims of SGBV. UNICEF will work with other sectors to integrate MHPSS and strengthen referral of the children (boys and girls) and women victims of GBV to appropriate health services and education services. UNICEF through other resources will extend its Multipurpose Cash Assistance, and ensure that beneficiaries identified as the most vulnerable through the case management in this project will be supported. UNICEF will provide all needed technical and operational support based on its L3 mechanisms. UNICEF will facilitate the liquidity and cash whenever possible responding to the current situation. UNICEF is also negotiating access to beneficiaries with de facto authority. UNICEF strategize integrated programming the selected districts and provinces with education, health and social protection programme that will minimize the risk of exposing NGOs working only on child protection and implementing sensitive programmes, like child recruitment and GBV.

In addition, Afghanistan has faced severe drought with impacts across all regions of the country that was officially declared by the previous Government of Afghanistan on 25 June 2021.Afghanistan is experiencing a humanitarian crisis as violence and insecurity have brought more suffering and internal displacement for thousands of Afghans. Over half a million people have been internally displaced in 2021 alone – and the number of people forced to flee continues to rise. This recent insecurity and displacement have prompted a humanitarian crisis for the Afghan people, who have already suffered more than 40 years of conflict, as well as increasing natural disasters, chronic poverty and food insecurity. The resilience of returnees, the internally displaced and host communities is being stretched to the absolute limit. While children’s education was already compromised due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the whole of Afghanistan Assessment led by OCHA in 2021 findings indicated that only 51 per cent of school-aged boys and 41 per cent of school-aged girls were enrolled in school on average across all provinces surveyed. Approximately 927 schools and CBEs were closed due to the insecurity prior August 2021. Following the recent events and Taliban takeover of Afghanistan the situation for girls’ education remains uncertain, as adolescent girls are out-of-school in most provinces, pending policy change. Due to the socio-economic collapse, families are now at higher risk of resorting to negative coping mechanisms which deprioritize education, including child labor, early marriage, and other forms of exploitation and abuse. More than three decades of conflict have devastated Afghanistan’s education system. Completing primary school remains a distant dream for many children, especially in rural areas as well as for girls in poor and hard-to-reach areas of the country. It's estimated that between 3.2 and 3.7 million primary and lower-secondary aged children (ages 7 to 15) remain out-of-school (60% are girls), drop-out rates are high, and 22 percent of children who are on the enrolment book are permanently absent in primary grades ECW MYRAP-Afghanistan 2018-2021. The western region of Afghanistan, in addition to the long-term conflict, insecurity, remoteness, the drought conditions have further compounded challenges resulting in the high number of out of school children (OOSC) particularly girls. WVA's COVID-19 assessment conducted late in 2020 indicated 48% of children (60%) girls) in Herat province are not attending school however, this rate is as high as 80% in the conservative and hard to reach (HRT) areas of the province. Amongst other reasons, poverty, shortage of teachers especially female teachers, lack of teaching and learning materials, displacements and cultural norms (which deprioritize education for girls and long distances to schools for many children) are attributed to the high number of OOSC in general across Herat province. To address the needs, WV Afghanistan proposes to provide community based education to 5,250 (60% girls and 40% boys) out of school children (OOSC) at least 70% IDPs and 30% host communities in (Injil, Ghoryan and Kohsan) districts in Herat Province.

IRC will support a total of 6,300 clients, including 5,425 learners through 155 Temporary Learning Spaces (TLSs) in 4 districts of Helmand, prioritized as high needs by the Helmand Provincial Education Directorate (PED): Marja, Garamseer, Kajaki, and Sangin Districts. The location and targeting of TLS classes will be need based, linked to the evolving context, and will be linked to a Rapid Needs Assessment (RNA) to be undertaken immediately upon the commencement of funding. This RNA, in prioritized districts, will identify communities without any access to learning opportunities that require immediate EiE support. These include districts which have not historically received support due to inaccessibility or being Hard to Reach. Targeting will be linked to IRC’s existing CBE and TLS educational footprint in Helmand, currently supported by ECW and other donors, to ensure non-duplication, as well as leveraging of IRC’s existing staff capacity and operational presence and permissions. IRC will seek to support AHF eligible actions for EiE, including through the establishment and support to Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS), TLS teacher identification and training, light rehabilitation to formal schools in TLS catchment areas, and the provision of Teaching and Learning Materials for TLS learners and teachers. The goal of these activities will be to increase access to safe and relevant learning opportunities for out of school children in Helmand, specifically children in hard to reach and historically underserved districts and communities, and to support formal school locations to better retain and attract new students back into protective learning environments. Activities are directly aligned with the EiE Working Group (now Education Cluster) Strategy 2021-2022, the Afghanistan Flash Appeal 2021 objectives, and the 2021 HNO for EiE. IRC will directly implement programming in Helmand Province and will submit monthly 5W reports to the Education Cluster through the ReportHub for Helmand Province.

Education in particular has been affected by the recent upheavals, which have included the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that closed schools for months in both 2020 and 2021. Nearly 8 million children are out of school, including 60% girls (UNICEF, 2021). Displaced children and cross border returnees in particular are less likely to be in school as they often have gaps in their education, lack the appropriate civil documentation to register for school as well as live in less economically stable households or in households separated from their parents. Girls in particular face barriers to accessing education. There are cultural and community attitudes around girls’ education and pressures that keep them out of school. Formal hub schools often lack female teachers or gender sensitive facilities, which discourages girls from continued attendance. In response to these needs, CRS is proposing to provide access to quality education to shock affected children in Hirat and will target approximately 5800 girls and boys between ages of 7 and 13 in Karokh, Hirat City, Injil and Adraskan districts, which will contribute to SO3 of the HRP: Vulnerable people are supported to build their resilience. CRS will use the Community Based Education (CBE) approach and will establish CBE TLS, which will support children to complete one full grade over 12 months. CRS will assess and analyze gender roles, relations, and the differing needs and interests of boys, girls, men, and women, to identify barriers to access and to develop context-appropriate strategies in each community for overcoming challenges regarding education access and ensure that at least 60% of students enrolled are girls. CRS will establish and build the capacity of school shuras to support and the monitor the classes. Shura are key to the increased access to education for girls and CRS will work with the shura to raise awareness about the contribution of communities, importance of girls’ education and, education continuity beyond the project duration. The CBE TLS will be equipped with all learning materials and will also be provided winterization, considering that the classes will run through 12 months and Hirat is a cold climate region. In addition to supporting students to access education through CBE TLS, CRS will conduct assessments with clustered hub schools and support approximately 50 schools with light repairs that would increase the school’s capacity to accept students and parents’ willingness to send their children to school. To contribute to the objective of providing students with a quality education, CRS will train teachers on a range of topics, including student-centered learning, Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and psychosocial support, ensuring increased teacher capacity to deliver quality, inclusive, and gender-sensitive primary education responsive to the psychosocial needs of girls and boys in Afghanistan. CRS will coordinate with relevant education stakeholders throughout the implementation of this project, including the Provincial Education Department and District Education Department. CRS will also coordinate with other implementing partners to share lessons learned and avoid duplication. This includes World Vision International as WVI is also proposing to implement in Herat Province and Injil District. CRS and WVI education colleagues have coordinated and agreed that CRS will establish classes in Shaidayee, while WVI will cover Kahdestan. CRS and WVI will maintain regular coordination to avoid duplication and will crosscheck class locations to avoid duplication.

All 80 TLS will be set up with EIEWG standard classroom kits, recreation kits, teacher kits, hand-washing stations, heating solutions, and textbook and learning kits for children, as well as warm winter clothing. Moreover, once the sites have been selected PIN will conduct light rehabilitation works to ensure a safe and structurally sound educational space. The TLS will provide 2,800 crisis affected children (1,400 girls, 1,400 boys) with access to recreation, Psychosocial Support (PSS) and Community-Based Education (CBE) strategy aligned educational support, including numeracy and literacy support. Children reached will be those affected by crisis as well as those from vulnerable families that have fallen out of the education system due to the recent reduction in educational services in the city. 80 Learning Facilitators (40 women and 40 men) will be recruited from within the supported communities and trained to MOE and EIE Cluster standards. Each TLS will be established within tents or community assigned buildings, and where possible and appropriate, attached to Hub Schools to support eventual transition for students to formal educational institutions. 40 School Management Shuras will be established, one per site, and their members will be trained on the importance of right to education. Community Mobilisers along with Shuras will also be trained and supported to conduct community outreach in order to build acceptance and support among the target communities. TLS will also be used as the nucleus for identifying families in need of nutrition screening, assistance and supporting their referrals for treatment as part of PIN’s global struggle to decrease the prevalence of chronic and acute under-nutrition through multisectoral programming. By adopting the approach of expanding PINs existing EIE offer, efficiencies and quality standards will be maintained across the offer, creating a solid platform from which educational support can be developed in response to the emerging challenges and in support of the objectives of the 2022 HRP.

The project will increase access to quality education for emergency-affected girls and boys in remote and hard-to-reach areas and ensure inclusive and protective spaces for learning for all children by providing learning opportunities to 7875 children (3, 150 boys amp 4,725 girls) through the establishment and running of 225 temporary learning spaces in 4 high priority districts (2 in Herat and 2 in Badghis). WCUK will recruit and deploy 225 teachers (60 % female) to teach in the 225 temporary learning spaces in line with CBE policy. Teachers will receive training on the standardized TiCC (Teachers in Crisis Contexts) curriculum which includes topics PSS and Social and Emotional Learning. Teachers will also receive structured support from coaches/mentors on safe and supportive behavior management and classroom management, pedagogy, and other core subjects. Moreover, teacher peer-to-peer support will be provided via learning circles or support sessions facilitated by trained supervisors who will oversee the quality of the teacher’s performance. To reduce risks to female teachers, WCUK will be providing payments to cover transportation to and from the training venue. Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) will be equipped with PSS kits which include play-oriented/recreational materials suitable for a variety of age categories. The 12 days training that the teachers will receive, will include components on how to safely guide and support children to utilize these PSS materials and unlock their benefits. War Child will conduct minor rehabilitation on identified TLS to ensure that the spaces are safe and suitable to provide quality teaching and learning. The learning spaces will also be equipped with age-appropriate teaching, learning, and hygiene materials. The WASH facilities will also be built or rehabilitated in the TLS to promote hygiene practices. In addition, gender-segregated and accessible latrines for TLS will be constructed or rehabilitated. Feminine hygiene kits (for adolescent girls) will be provided to support the hygiene needs of girls. Community members and other education stakeholders will be mobilized to support out-of-school boys and girls in accessing and continuing their education in target locations by conducting community-level back-to-school awareness-raising campaigns with community leaders and parents on the importance of education to children’s development and wellbeing, with a focus on girls’ education. The proposed intervention will strengthen the capacity of communities and educational stakeholders to identify and mitigate risks in the learning environment. Training will be provided to teachers and Community Education Committee/School Management Committees members on child safeguarding and Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), and how to safely identify and refer children in need of child protection and education support services. WCUK will also conduct six risk mapping workshops with education stakeholders (SMCs, CECs, and EiE WG sub-national focal points), and through this process will identify the age and gender-appropriate community-based solutions to minimize threats to children’s access to school, such as girls’ safe journeys to school. In order to transition TLS students to existing CBE classes or hub groups or host community hub schools, War Child will provide support to existing Community-based Education (CBE) classes/learning.

Given the convergence of needs, SCI will provide a complementary response of EiE with minimum WASH standard facilities in the targeted districts. In Kabul (Mosai, Sorobi and Khakjabar districts), our activities will reach a total of 9,672 beneficiaries directly, including 992 adults (50% men and 50% women) and 8,680 children (50% boys and 50% girls). With funding under EiE, we will provide materials to enable children and teachers to safely return to rehabilitated community-based education (CBE) classes and hub schools construct handwashing facilities and gender-segregated latrines and provide classroom kits, student kits, hygiene kits, and textbooks. Save the Children will address a general shortage of key supplies needed to create temporary learning spaces, including tents, teaching and learning materials.

It will enable out of schoolchildren, those learners already registered can continue their schooling, and that children are protected from physical and psychological abuse while in school. The strategy adopted by this project includes the provision of 95 Community Based Education (CBE) and support to 45 formal primary schools (hub schools). The project will target 55 CBE classes and 27 hub schools in Ab-Kamari, Qadis and Moqur districts of Badghis province and 40 CBE classes and 18 hub-schools in Emam Sahib, Char Dara, Ali Aabad and Qala Zal districts of Kunduz province. NRC will reach 1925 (50%F) CBE learners, 55 (50%F) CBE teachers, 8186 (50%F) hub school learners and 90 (50%F) hub schoolteachers in Badghis province. Additionally, the project will reach 1200 (50%F) CBE learners, 40(50%F) CBE teachers, 5707 (50%F) hub school learners and 80 (50%F) hub schoolteachers in Kunduz province. On average, each CBE class will accommodate 32 learners. Other project beneficiaries include Shura members in Badghis and Kunduz provinces. Accumulatively, the project will reach 17884 beneficiaries (434 men, 432 women, 8509 boys and 8509 girls). Together with school management committees/Shuras (SMCs) and school leadership, the project will conduct campaigns to bring back children. The project will sensitise community members in the targeted provinces on the importance of enrolling both boys and girls in schools. This will involve setting out back to school campaigns through culturally acceptable means. During sensitisations meetings, the stakeholders will educate children, staff and community members on care and prevention from COVID 19. Through direct support and coordination of the provincial education directorate (PED), district education directorate (DED) and the Education Cluster, NRC will provide CBE classes/Temporary Learning Spaces (TLSs) with separate WASH facilities for girls and boys and provide School Improvement Plans (SIP) to rehabilitate partially destroyed WASH facilities and classrooms. The project will work with communities to clear designated areas of harmful objects and debris and renovate the destroyed classrooms. The renovations of classes will follow the Ministry of Education, Education Cluster and INEE standards. The intervention will prioritise local materials to support the local economy. Community leaders and the school community will have a significant role in this activity in line with the 'whole school' approach. The high cost of providing teaching and learning materials for children also limits enrolment and completion, resulting in early dropout. In the targeted provinces, parents cannot afford to buy reading and writing materials for their children. The project will provide teaching and learning materials, including teachers, classroom, learners, hygiene and Better Learning Programme (BLP) Kits. In cold climatic areas, the project will provide CBE classes with winterisation materials. At every point in their career, teachers need to have or be able to acquire the full range of subject knowledge, attitudes, and pedagogic skills to help young people reach their full potential. To realise this, NRC will train teachers on psychosocial skills, intensive pedagogy and child-centred methodology. Regarding providing psychosocial support to learners, NRC will implement its classroom-based psychosocial package called BLP. The NRC will implement the project for one year to complete the CBE academic year cycle and renovations of schools, which is time-intensive. The time will also enable NRC to document and share the project's learning, and mobilize resources for the transition of CBE grade 1 completers to grade 2.

War Child Canada proposes an Education in Emergency project to respond the education needs of the children and to ensure children from the displaced families and vulnerable host communities can access education and continue their learning in a safe and enabling environment. WCC will build on its ongoing Community-Oriented Project for Education (COPE) in Kabul, funded by AHF under the 2021 Third Reserve-Allocation. WCC aims to expand the same interventions to additional communities at 4 new districts (Shakardara, Mirbacha Kot, Kalakan and PD15) in Kabul to support out of school children with TLS and CBE support with taking an additional caseload in Bagrami district based on the needs of the populations under the Second Community-Oriented Project for Education (COPE-II) proposed for AHF funding under 2021 First Allocation Strategy. The project aims to directly target 15,820 beneficiaries with 10,000 children (50% girls) in PD15, Shakardara, Mirbacha Kot, Kalakan and Bagrami districts of Kabul province. The project will establish 120 Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) at the MoE schools, 40 Community Based Education (CBE) classes, provide additional 4,000 out of schoolchildren with Teaching and Learning Materials (TLMs) to support them in school enrollment, and will engage 160 TLS and CBE teachers with 40% to 50% women. In addition, project will also complement the ongoing procedures on protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) by ensuring that boys and girls, teachers and parent are protected from being sexually exploited and abused by engaging with and strengthening existing community-based protection systems as well as capacity building of School Management Shura (SMS) particularly in implementation of the PSEA tools. Teachers will be oriented to refer children for mental health and psychosocial support services when needed. The project will engage SMS in mobilization and sensitization of communities by conducting awareness raising sessions on the importance of education and the EiE response – SMS will organize school enrollment campaigns in their communities to ensure out of school children are registered at TLS/CBE classes to continue learning. Taking into consideration the new potential waves of the COVID19 pandemic, the proposed action also aims to integrate COVID-19 preventive measures in accordance with the guidelines of the MoPH, WHO and WCC’s own protocols. Schools and learning spaces will be provided with necessary protective material (face masks and sanitizers) and social distancing will be ensured for all in person activities. One other major intervention of the proposed project is to work on creating a protective and friendly learning environment for children both at schools/CBEs and homes through establishment and training of CBCPM members whose role will be to contribute to community education on child protection and to identify and address child protection concerns in their respective communities. According to the Afghanistan Education system, an academic year is minimum 9 months, and a sufficient time is normally required to start the project including staffing, planning for implementation, initial coordination with stakeholders and communities, selection and training of teachers, identification of venue and schools for CBE and TLS classes, enrollment of children, procurement of supplies and other preparatory activities. Of course, some more time is also required to integrate children at MoE schools and properly close out the project. Therefore, War Child Canada has proposed a 12-month project to be able to support out of school children throughout the academic year and effectively complete activities within the proposed timeline.War Child CanadaWar Child CanadaAfghanistan Humanitarian FundNayat KarimCountry Director0093 766558319 0092 3077773010karim@warchild.caWaseeullah MujaddidiHead of Programs+93766710361wmujaddidi@warchild.ca GrantsManager – FinanceFrishta Natiq Compliance HRKabul34.53333300 69.16666700Education490812.87161215.90652028.77Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWar Child Canada391217.26Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWar Child Canada260811.51Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWar Child CanadaXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/EIE/NGO/21060United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe project aims to reach 6,300 children (3,780 girls) in the southern region of Afghanistan (Kandahar and Helmand Provinces), the project will immediately contribute to meet the need of 2.6 million children (1,593,064 boys and 1,020,946 girls) in Afghanistan, in need of education in emergencies (EiE) in 2021 (and that figure is likely to remain constant into 2022) who are affected by the disaster, conflicts and displacement. The project focuses on ensuring access to quality inclusive and protective learning space to 6,300 out of school children through establishment of Temporary Learning Spaces (TLSs) through Community Based Education (CBE) approach within the targeted host communities, returnees, internally displaced people (IDP). The project will also build the capacity of 210 teachers (at least 60% female) (formal schools and TLSs classes) on education in teaching methodology and child protection (i.e. psycho-social support, children safeguarding support on displacement and abuse free environment for children etc.). Additionally, the training will also involve capacity building of thirty educational personal on EiE information management system including preparedness and response planning and strengthened capacity to fulfill their responsibility. The project will also establish, and support 210 TLSs classes facilitated by 210 teachers with priority to hire and train more female teachers (at least 60% female teachers). The project will provide 6,300 (3780 girls) out of school children with quality, inclusive and protective basic education opportunity. Through this project AREP in coordination with stakeholders will target around 210 smaller urban or rural settlements where IDPs and returnee’s including host community are settled and will establish a school Shura per classroom to improve students and teacher’s attendance, security, child protection, inclusiveness, functionality and quality education. Each School Shura will have 5 member in average with a priority to female activists and they will be oriented about their role and responsibility. Standards of quality education will be met through following Ministry of Education (MoE)’s curriculum text books and equipping the planned number of teachers with methodology skills, teacher kits to effectively facilitate the teaching and learning process, and provision of spaces to at least meet the minimum standards identified through Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergency (INEE), EiE Teacher Training Manual and MoE standardized teacher training manual (TTM). The project will facilitate access to quality inclusive and protective environment for the targeted out of school children for one year who will be encouraged, enrolled and registered to Afghanistan education system in case required capacity are available in nearest government school. The project will also enable them to pursue their education beyond the project duration by issuing them the roll (asaas) number. Based on the project exit strategy they will be mainstreamed to the existing formal education system to ensure these children continue their education beyond the project either in their place of origin or in their existing residence areas. In order to meet the need of entire out of school children in the targeted areas, AREP will also address needs of disabled children through providing special education materials and create enabling environment within the classes or in case there are sufficient number of children in each disabled category special classes will be establish to serve those children through sign language and brail and the required and updated support will be received from specialty school supported by other NGOs and government.

Despite signs of progress observed during the last years, particularly on increasing the enrollment rates, the system has been struggling to provide services to the children of the country, in particular, to ensure boys and girls could complete their primary schooling. The underlining reasons are insecurity and traditional norms and practices related to girls and women’s role in society. Other reasons can be in part a lack of female teachers, especially in rural schools, and forced displacement due to conflicts and natural disasters. COVID-19 pandemic further complicated children’s education situation in the country, where schools remained closed due to the pandemic, but also the insecurities before August 2021. The recent developments in the political sphere that has brought the country to the edge of a crisis, in particular increasing humanitarian needs of the country, the already poorest, conflict- amp COVID affected, and remote areas of the country, are the most impacted on the level of school enrollments where girls’ equal access is still lacking. Initial estimates of UNICEF indicate that while nearly 10 million children are in need of humanitarian assistance, over four million children are out-of-school in Afghanistan, 60% of them are girls, which need education in emergencies in 2021. Given the current context, this figure is likely to remain constant into 2022. To respond to the current challenges, OCCD puts forward this action that aims to enhance access of girls and boys in the underserved communities of Kandahar province to quality education. OCCD aims to improve the access of at least 4,600 conflict and shock-affected children in the hard-to-reach areas of Kandahar province. Districts include Shahwalikot and Khakrez. The action will support the provision of: (1) temporary learning spaces (TLS) in line with the standard community-based education (CBE) package to children aged 7 to 13 (2) capacity building of teachers through teacher training (3) services, including light constructions, as well as teaching and learning materials to public schools to allow children to return and can attend their classes and (4) community mobilization and outreach to promote education rights of children. The proposed action is informed by OCCD’s vast experience in humanitarian and development programs in the targeted province covered by this action. OCCD has been working in Kandahar in the past decade delivering services to underserved communities. OCCD has been working in Afghanistan without interruption since its establishment in 2013, focusing primarily on the health promotion domain. Nonetheless, the NGO has been also working in other sectors such as WASH, education, and livelihoods and has a proven record of accomplishment of working with disenfranchised communities such as IDPs and returnees. The action will be implemented in a timeframe of 12 months. This timeframe includes the time required to: ensure delivery of at least 40 TLS (153 classrooms) covering at least 4,600 students (50% of them are girls) train at least 153 teachers through teacher training approaches on topics such as student-centered primary education curriculum delivery, safety protocols, psychosocial support, and the Teachers’ Code of Conduct for emergencies and gender considerations support 5 public schools with educational materials as well as required rehabilitation/light construction works enhancing their capacity to accommodate more students. These schools will be used as TLS to the extend possible ensuring close work with the authorities to enhance operation of the school structures.

Already, the education of 9.3 million had been largely interrupted since 2020 due to COVID-19 related challenges and restrictions. An estimated 4.2 million children are out of school (60 per cent are girls), including children with disabilities, whose access to school is further limited by a combination of institutional, social, physical and financial barriers. Following the changes in governance of the country, children’s access to education has become further impeded. The public education system is at risk of collapse as teachers’ salaries – which were largely relied on international community development funding and support through the previous Government – remain unpaid. Moreover, with the new authorities have expressed that they are only capable of budgeting for 30 per cent of the teaching workforce under current revenue estimates, meaning that 10 million children may remain out of schools. To respond to the acute educational needs of children specifically in underserved areas, AABRAR and its partner Asia Community Development Organization (ACDO) will support a total of 8200 out of school and displaced children in Kabul and Kandahar to access basic education and psychosocial and social and emotional support. AABRAR and ACDO will support 4,200 (50 per cent girls) OOSC and 120 (50 per cent females) teachers through establishing 80 CBCs/TLSs in Paghman and Qarabagh districts in Kabul and 40 CBCs/TLSs in Takhta Pul and Arghandab districts in Kandahar and another 4,000 (50 per cent girls) OOSC and 144 (50 per cent females) teachers through enrolling to 36 hub schools 20 in Paghman and Qarabagh districts in Kabul and 16 in Takhta Pul and Arghandab districts in Kandahar. The temporary learning spaces (TLSs) will be equipped with required teaching and learning materials and hygiene kits, and winterization supplies. Students enrolled to hub schools will be provided with learning kits and the teachers will receive required EiE, PSS, SEL and other relevant trainings. Training of teachers will be conducted as per the INEE Minimum Standards, CBE Policy and Education Cluster requirements which will ensure teachers’ capacity to deliver quality, inclusive and gender-sensitive basic education in emergencies. In addition, the project will strengthen the community-based protection systems and will build capacity of School Management Councils (SMCs) to mobilize and sensitize communities through awareness-raising on the importance of education and EiE. SMCs will assist in back-to-school campaigns to make sure the OOSC are enrolled into schools/TLSs and have age-appropriate learning materials. AABRAR and ACDO through direct support and coordination of the provincial education stakeholders and the Education Cluster will provide CBCs with separate WASH facilities for girls and boys and will rehabilitate partially destroyed hub schools to enable them to absorb new children. AABRAR will conduct EiE activities in Kabul while ACDO will implement the activities in Kandahar province as ACDO is operating and implementing projects in in Kandahar, has dedicated and expert local staff and expertise to implement the proposed activities in the targeted (Arghandab and Takhta pu)l districts. AABRAR as lead organization will support and build the capacity of its partners and will be responsible to submit 5W monthly reports to EiE WG through the system for both Kabul and Kandahar provinces. .Afghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationAsia Community Development Organization (ACDO)Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDr. Abdul BaseerExecutive Director0093 (0) 775558885abdulbaseer@aabrar.org.afWaheed ShahProgram Coordinator0093 (0) 770615156waheedshah@aabrar.org.afLiaqat HayatSenior Finance Officer0093 (0) 787096753liaqathayat052@gmail.comKabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Education576769.83111571.87688341.70Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation275336.68Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation206502.51Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation206502.51Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/ESNFI/INGO/20587United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe objective of this intervention is to ensure winterization support in Bamyan and Ghor provinces for 1103 households – 7721 persons (1853 men, 1776 women, 2084 boys and 2008 girls). After conducting community meetings, AAA will assess appropriate and realistic gender and age disaggregation for the target population, prioritizing vulnerable women and girls and striving to reach 50% female and 50% male where possible. As per cluster recommendations, as well as our own humanitarian signature, the project will ensure that at least 32% of the targeting population are pregnant and lactating women. Based on cluster recommendation we will coordinate with the nutrition partner in the given districts to identify PLWs. During intervention and beneficiary selection, ActionAid will make conscious efforts to ensure that people living with disabilities, elderly, and children without adult care are not left behind. ActionAid’s winterisation support will be achieved through AAA staff presence in the distribution site when the Sarafa distributes cash. The support will be US$ 200 per household for heating and US$ 40 per household for blankets. The amount envisaged is in line with cluster guidance. In Ghor a total of 518 households will be supported and in Bamyan 585 households. This comes up to a total of 3626 people in Ghor and 4095 people in Bamyan. Cash has been chosen as opposed to in-kind distributions based on AAA’s market assessment and beneficiaries’ preference during the needs assessment, AAA’s recent positive experience in the country distributing cash as opposed to in-kind and on ESNFI Cluster recommendations for the area. Cash distribution will also allow beneficiaries to chose the kind of heating mode that they prefer rather than ActionAid deciding what kind of heating instrument and fuel they will use, this will also provide a boost to the local economy. Cash is an empowering and dignifying method of transferring beneficiary entitlement, it also reduces procurement timelines thereby ensuring that beneficiary entitlements reach the beneficiaries quickly. Cash distribution will be achieved through using the services of Sarafa with whom ActionAid already has a contract. Due to changes in context, cash liquidity is a serious challenge for everyone in the country. Banks are still not operating fully, in the districts targeted by AAA even in the past there were no adequate banking services since they are hard to reach areas. Thus, using Sarafas is the best way to ensure cash is available for the beneficiaries. AAA has already contracted a Non-Banking Finance Service provider (Sarafa) after due diligence and they have the ability to transfer cash to the district centers for the beneficiaries based on our requirements. The dates for distribution will be determined after beneficiary selection is complete and after notifying the beneficiaries through distribution of tokens. A senior ActionAid staff will vet all payments and all distributions will be done in coordination with relevant stakeholders and will be followed by PDMs. With the cash distributed, the targeted population will be able to choose what sort of heating means they purchase. Based on our needs assessment, we expect most people will choose Bukharies. Furthermore, to ensure we are mainstreaming protection concerns, the project will aim to increase knowledge amongst the targeted vulnerable households on existing referral pathways and protection services for survivors of SGBV, unaccompanied children and people living with disabilities in the two provinces. Operational, security, safety and financial risk and the corresponding mitigating measures will be in place risk registers will be regularly updated and communicated a detailed monitoring and evaluation plan will be implemented measuring indicators, applying lessons learned and documenting recommendations and sustainability/handover strategies will be explored for the project’s duration.ActionAidActionAidAfghanistan Humanitarian FundSudipta KumarCountry Director+93 799043656sudipta.kumar@actionaid.orgSalem YounesiFinance Coordinator+93 790905906Salem.Younesi@actionaid.orgBamyan34.90732960 67.18944880Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Emergency Shelter and NFI360978.81360978.81Afghanistan Humanitarian FundActionAid288783.05Afghanistan Humanitarian FundActionAid44933.47Afghanistan Humanitarian FundActionAid377.41ActionAidUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/ESNFI/INGO/20589United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsDue to the increase in climate change related environment changes, Afghanistan is now considered to be one of the most vulnerable countries in the world in terms of natural disasters according to the World Bank's Disaster Risk Profile. Compounded with harsh winter conditions, the effects of disasters are increasingly catastrophic across the country. Bamiyan, one of AHP and AHF’s top priority locations, is one of the most severely affected provinces in Afghanistan with communities having to endure extremely harsh winter conditions. As per AKAH-A’s 2021 HVRA report, latest rapid needs assessment and community interactions, Bamiyan Center and Shiber districts in Bamiyan province have been identified as among the most vulnerable areas of Afghanistan, with temperatures often dropping to -20 degrees Centigrade. With mountains covering nearly 90% of the province’s terrain, road blockages as a result of heavy snowfall on already poor-quality infrastructure within these districts are very common and can last up to 6 months every year. As a result, populations living outside of district centers are cut off from essential services such as markets, health facilities, schools and employment opportunities. Although the security situation has settled and normalized in Bamiyan since the change in government in August 2021, the population has suffered from aggravated vulnerabilities due to drought, the erosion of livelihoods and household reserves, as well as conflict-induced damage and destruction to people’s homes. Proneness to natural hazards and an increase in Internally Displaced People (IDPs) due to the recent political upheaval are current realities in the two targeted districts of this project. Limited access to markets and other basic services such as health, WASH and educational facilities as well as limited humanitarian actor access to the area are further issues faced by the population of Bamiyan province. Bamiyan province, including Bamiyan Center and Shiber districts, has been identified as IPC phase 4, Emergency Situation. In the latest September 2021-March 2022 report, 50% of the population of Bamiyan or 318,992 individuals are currently in Phase 3+, projected to rise to 60% (395,251 individuals) between November 2021 and March 2022. AKAH-A's proposes to support 945 households (6,615 individuals, including 32% of PLWs) between January and May 2022 with winter clothes and blanket packages as well as heating/fuel packages with the aim of diminishing the proportion of the Bamiyan population who will suffer through a harsh winter. The winter clothes and blanket packages will be distributed in kind and the fuel support will be distributed using cash through Hawala to project participants identified in Shiber as well as to those residing in remote areas of Bamiyan Center, and vouchers to project participants that have access to the district center market in Bamiyan Center. This project will directly benefit 945 households in total, with 550 households in Bamiyan Center and 395 in Shiber district.

Drought, political instability, and Covid-19 have led to widespread illness and mortality and starkly reduced income opportunities in these provinces, depleting households’ productive assets and reducing their capacity to cope with shocks and prepare for winter. Afghanaid’s recent needs assessment (annexed) found that numerous households in Ghor and Daykundi need urgent assistance to cover their needs through the especially long, harsh winter in these provinces. In line with ESNFI cluster priorities for this allocation, Afghanaid proposes to provide crucial heating assistance to a total of 1,520 vulnerable households (380 households per district) in Dawlatyar and Dolayna districts of Ghor, and Shahristan and Khedir districts of Daykundi, all of which have harsh winter climates and are noted as priority locations in the Joint Winterization Plan and the cluster’s priorities for this allocation. Based on community preferences and a market assessment, Afghanaid proposes cash as the modality for the heating assistance. The intervention will provide all targeted households with a ESNFI cluster standard cash for heating package with a value of US$200 per household, to cover the purchase of a heater and heating fuel for at least three months. In consultation with communities, the assistance will be delivered in a single tranche project staff will consult the communities on any anticipated protection risks. We will work with an established saraf (the local term for Hawala agent) in both provinces to distribute cash from central distribution points. Afghanaid will form participant selection and distribution committees, with local community representatives, such as leaders of Community Development Councils (CDCs) and District Development Assemblies (DDAs), and Afghanaid staff. Participants will be selected using ESNFI vulnerability criteria to ensure that households in most acute need are targeted, including displaced households, women-headed households and households with a large number of dependents. In line with ESNFI cluster priorities, Afghanaid will ensure that at least 32% of the selected households include pregnant or lactating women (PLW) we will work with partners assigned by the Nutrition Cluster to provide these PLW with additional assistance. We will also provide the 488 households with PLW (122 per district) with a cluster-recommended cash package of US$65 for winter clothing, and an in-kind blanket kit with a value of US$55. Afghanaid is well placed to implement this project, with over 20 years of continuous presence in Ghor and 5 years in Daykundi, current operations in all target districts, excellent access and strong relationships with communities. Afghanaid has extensive humanitarian programming experience, with current and recent humanitarian projects in multiple provinces including Ghor and Daykundi funded by AHF, WFP and FAO. The proposed winterization project would form part of a multi-cluster response complemented by our ongoing FSAC-funded agricultural assistance project in these districts Afghanaid is also developing a proposal for FSAC for food assistance to these and other districts, so as to meet target communities’ needs comprehensively. Afghanaid has approval from local authorities to deliver its programmes in the target areas, and will actively engage local IEA actors to explain that the project can only proceed if authorities do not interfere in participant selection and permit us to employ and target women. This intervention is expected to provide 1,520 vulnerable households (10,640 men, women, boys and girls) with crucial heating, clothing and blanket assistance, help target households meet their basic needs, reduce illness and mortality, and increase participants’ capacity to rebuild their livelihoods by avoiding the sale of productive assets, boosting resilience against future shocks.

The combination of structural poverty, rising unemployment, cyclic drought, 40 years of conflict and COVID-19 have constantly stretched the coping capacities of the Afghan population. The events of August 15 have triggered retrenchment of development assistance, an unfolding financial crisis and an unprecedented interruption of economic activities and essential services. The UN predicts that 97% of the population could fall under the poverty line (less than $2 a day) in the upcoming year. The recent Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis classifies all 34 provinces IPC3+ with 9m people projected to be in IPC 4 the highest number in the world (ICCT). The majority of Afghans have already depleted their food stocks and are pursuing emergency coping mechanisms such as selling of assets, child labour, child marriage and debilitating debt. This is all as Afghanistan moves in to its harshest winter months. As families in Provinces prone to the most extreme cold temperatures, including Kabul, struggle to find where their next meal will come from, their ability to prepare for the winter months and guard themselves and their families from the harshest impacts is depleted. Persons with disability, households with high dependency ratios and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) affected by acute malnutrition are most at risk from the winter elements. Women are also disproportionately impacted by the deteriorating situation. According to surveys conducted by GiHA, 95% of women surveyed report experiencing new public restrictions on their movement, 85% report family imposed restrictions on their freedoms, 95% report knowing of a female friend or relative losing their employment or livelihood, and 79% of surveyed women report knowing a women who has had difficulties accessing health services, especially PLW. These complex, and interrelated social phenomena at a time when job opportunities are rapidly declining, cost of living increasing, and vulnerable women's ability to access the services and support they need being curtailed by others, vulnerable households and those most at risk from the harsh winter elements do not have the financial means to meet their winterization needs, despite the items required being available in local markets. In response PIN will provide immediate winterization assistance to 1,529 of the most vulnerable households (10,703 individuals) in PD6, PD8 and PD16 of Kabul through unrestricted and unconditional cash assistance for heating/fuel support (AFN equal to 200 USD), winter blankets (AFN equal to 40 USD) and family winter clothing (AFN equal to 65 USD). 1040 of these households, and current beneficiaries of PINs Kabul cash-for-food intervention, will be provided with a full or partial package of winterization assistance informed by actual need. 489 of these households, 32% of the proposed projects total caseload, will have a household member that is a pregnant and/or lactating women affected by acute-malnutrition. These 489 households will be identified by the cooperating nutrition partner whilst PIN provides a full winter assistance package to these women and their households. To meet the immediate need, PIN will provide assistance to the 1040 hh before the end of December to ensure they benefit in the fullest from the assistance. In parallel, PIN will work with the cooperating nutrition partner on the identification of PLW affected by acute malnutrition and work with them to provide the assistance in a way that responds to their specific needs, characteristics and protection requirements by the end of January. PINs choice of cash assistance will support continued market functionality, enable beneficiaries to receive assistance as soon as possible, and increase their agency in how they use it.

The beneficiaries will be prioritized based on the level of need determined by a rapid needs assessment that will be conducted by the Norwegian Afghanistan Committee (NAC). The majority of the population in these hard-to-reach districts will soon be facing severe winter conditions with a lack of heating material, clothing and blankets. This winter season is expected to be more difficult for many due to the economic crisis in the country, the lack of job opportunities, the banking crisis and depreciation of the afghani, and many other issues including the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects. This proposed project will be implemented to improve the life conditions for many of the most vulnerable individuals (e.g., pregnant women, children and elderly people) throughout the winter season. The 2021-2022 Joint Winter Plan highlights significant needs over the winter due to aggravated vulnerability. Previous year trends indicate that by November, cases of hypothermia and acute respiratory infections and deaths directly and indirectly associated with cold weather are likely to increase. Lessons learned from past years’ winter assistance shows the urgency of providing targeted assistance early in the winter season. This will be critical as many people – particularly IDPs and returnees who reside in open spaces or in congested informal settlements – are left in poor, unhygienic and undignified living conditions with little access to basic services. The chosen modality for this assistance will be through direct cash transfers to the neediest households, which will enable target beneficiaries to access essential heating materials, clothing and blankets in the harsh winter season. This project aligns with NAC’s current programs to add emergency assistance to our “emergency cash assistance” to ensure that families and their children have access to heating materials to cope with the harsh winter season. NAC will ensure a gender-sensitive selection process and accessible accountability mechanisms, and the gender-balanced field team will ensure easy access by both genders. All project beneficiaries will be eligible to receive cash assistance through the direct cash transfer modality by a Financial Service Provider (FSP)/ local hawala dealers. The value of transfer will be USD 305 as single transfer (based on agreed ES/NFI standards) per household. NAC will contribute in areas where we are currently implementing our Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) funded 3-year program. Using our knowledge, experience and trained personnel, NAC will also provide the beneficiaries of the AHF project with: 1. Nutrition training: beneficiaries will learn about nutrition through messages and posters covering topics such as basic healthy cooking practices, how to best utilize vegetables, children’s diet diversification, and the use of staple foods. 2. Health training: beneficiaries will be informed about how to prevent and respond to communicable diseases, reducing the risk of spreading COVID-19, hepatitis, and other diseases that impact the lives of community members. 3. Responsible parenting training: beneficiaries will learn how increased spacing between childbirths will have positive effects on infant and maternal mortality rates and on children’s physical, social, emotional and cognitive development. Awareness-raising sessions on nutrition (food safety) and responsible parenting will be reported to NORAD. The trainings will help beneficiary households to understand the diversification of food items, nutrition and effective use of cash to provide the food commodities. NAC will ensure coordination and cooperation with other stakeholders in the proposed project target areas to avoid any duplication or overlap.

Each year, freezing winter temperatures, especially in high altitude locations drive the need for the provision of life-saving winter assistance as the majority of the affected persons do not have the financial capability to purchase items to support during the harsh winter. To reach the most vulnerable families, Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) has designed the lifesaving proposed project, which will be implemented in Panjab, Yakawlang, Waras, Kahmard, Shibar, Sayghan and Bamyan districts of Bamyan province. The proposed location for the winterization intervention is because of the vulnerability of the area to extreme winter conditions (temperature goes down to -12 degrees C from November to March every year. The local economy is also very weak because of remoteness and the short crop season. However local markets are functional particularly for the heating materials as these are essential items during harsh winter. Poor people cannot afford heating, blankets, winter clothes during the winter season while income goes down and family expenditure increases. The proposed project aims to ensure that 1,420 poorest and most vulnerable households, 9,940 individuals (Men-1988, Women-1988, Boys- 2982, and girls-2982) are protected from harsh winter conditions through winterization assistance. The project will include 32% Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLWs) as direct beneficiary. In accordance with the joint winterization strategy, the project will follow both the voucher and the in-kind distribution modalities. In-kind has been chosen for the clothes and blanket distribution to ensure the best value for money and thus ability to reach more families. Initial market assessments suggest that by buying clothes and blankets in bulk from the provincial or national level will allow IRW to purchase more clothes for distribution than would be available at the district level. Vouchers have been chosen for the gas/firewood/coal distribution to allow families to choose the heating materials based on the availability in the local market and suitable for their use. Each household will receive the ESNFI standard Winterization Package of 1x $20 value voucher for Gas Cylinder/local Bokhari (fireplace) and 3 x $60 value vouchers for gas/firewood/coal over a period of 3 months. All vouchers will be distributed in one installment and will have a four-month period of validity. Specific vendors will be contacted at the district level following standard IRW procurement procedures. The project will reimburse the vouchers' value to the vendors after verification. Instead of cash the vouchers will be used because banking system is not functional in the remote area, and it is risky to carry cash in these areas. Furthermore, it will ensure heating material and fuel are purchased by the voucher. The target households will be selected based on the pre-defined set of criteria that prioritizes the most vulnerable households who are left out from other winterization assistance because of limited allocations. Preference will be given to women-headed households, widows, orphaned families, elderly, people with a disability or chronic illness and people with low income. IRW will involve all sections of the target population (women, girls, men, boys, people with disabilities, and the elderly). IRW will ensure that a complaints feedback mechanism is fully functional. IRW will closely work with the ESNFI cluster and relevant authorities to implement the project effectively and on time. IRW will also follow the “Do No Harm” principle that guides to ensure beneficiaries’ security and safety.Islamic Relief WorldwideIslamic Relief WorldwideAfghanistan Humanitarian FundDr. Saydul AlomCountry Director+93764217832Saydul.Alom@irworldwide.orgMohammad Golam SorwarHead of Programmes+93772647371Sorwar.Mohammad@irworldwide.orgMuhammad Abubakr MirzaFinance Manager+93780960641Muhammad.Abubakr@irworldwide.orgBamyan34.90732960 67.18944880Emergency Shelter and NFI499354.56499354.56Afghanistan Humanitarian FundIslamic Relief Worldwide249677.28Afghanistan Humanitarian FundIslamic Relief Worldwide147026.69Afghanistan Humanitarian FundIslamic Relief Worldwide0.40Islamic Relief WorldwideUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/ESNFI/INGO/20671United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe project is designed to support the urgent Humanitarian Needs of IDPs, Returnees and Vulnerable Host Communities affected by conflicts and natural disasters in the target districts (Gurziwan and Bilchiragh) of Faryab Province. According to averaged Household Emergency Assessment Tool (HEAT) assessments in 2020, 64% of immediately shock-affected households reported living in makeshift shelters (including both mud houses and tents). In line with ES/NFI Cluster priorities as detailed in the Allocation Strategy paper, DAARTT under this action will respond to the needs identified under the AHF 1st Standard Allocation Strategy 2021, with the purpose to provide life-saving assistance to IDPs, returnees and vulnerable host communities in the priority provinces Faryab, identified by the ES/NFI Cluster. Under this action, DAARTT will cover the needs of 1,290 families (9,030 individuals) in the two districts (Gurziwan and Bilchiragh) of Faryab Province through provision of (Winterization Assistance – Them 2). Under the proposed action, DAARTT will provide $200/families to 1,290 families as Cash for Heating purpose and $105/family for the same 1,290 families for Winter Cloths and Blankets - targeting the most vulnerable people (IDPs, Returnees and Vulnerable Host Communities) in the targeted locations in Faryab Province. As the first step of the project implementation, DAARTT will conduct a rapid need assessment in the targeted communities to identify the most vulnerable people. Need Assessment will be conducted through Kobo system and report will be generated automatically. In the same time, a beneficiary selection and distribution committee will be established which will include representatives from local communities (e.g. CDC heads), Government departments (e.g. ANDMA, ARCS and DoRR) and DAARTT staff. Beneficiaries will be selected according to ESNFI vulnerability criteria to ensure the poorest and most vulnerable are targeted, including displaced people, women-headed households, widows, orphaned families, elderly, people with a disability and families with a large number of dependent children. On the top of this, pregnant and lactating women will also be give high priority during the selection. According to nutrition cluster, 32% (520 PLWs) of the beneficiaries will be selected as the PLW, who are identified under the Acute Malnutrition Category. This target will be included in the over target for women beneficiaries. The cash for heating will enable selected HHs to keep and maintain the normal temperature of their houses during the harsh winter season. Cash is used as markets are functional and heating equipment and materials are locally available. Prioritization is based on vulnerability and need for assistance. As there is a large percentage of HH with vulnerable groups/ PSN, DAARTT will ensure inclusion of these groups in the assistance through an inclusive approach securing their meaningful participation. As per DAARTT standards, gender, protection and COVID-19 are mainstreamed in the program design. DAARTT conducted a rapid need assessment in the two targeted districts, namely Bilchiragh and Gurziwan of the Faryab Province. In total, 29 villages were surveyed to identify the most urgent needs of the population. As per the findings from the report, 60% of the IDP families are residing in the centers of the two districts, who urgently need humanitarian assistance particular Winterization assistance. The assessment also revealed that 30071 persons are vulnerable, who need assistance. 4150 (2045 Males and 2105 Females) were unaccompanied children that composed 13% of vulnerable population in the targeted areas. Out of 30071vulnerable people 548 (1.8%) were infants, without mother. Majority of vulnerable groups related to older persons 5787 (19%).Danish Assistance to Afghan Rehabilitation and Technical TrainingDanish Assistance to Afghan Rehabilitation and Technical TrainingAfghanistan Humanitarian FundLars Pedersen (Mr.)Director+93 (0) 752004414director@daartt.orgZamarai AhmadzaiHumanitarian Program Coordinator+93 789 586 252ahmadzai@daartt.org Mir Aabed SadatChief of Finance and Administration+93777657708CFO@daartt.orgFaryab36.07956130 64.90595500Emergency Shelter and NFI483048.93483048.93Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDanish Assistance to Afghan Rehabilitation and Technical Training241524.47Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDanish Assistance to Afghan Rehabilitation and Technical Training241524.46Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDanish Assistance to Afghan Rehabilitation and Technical Training226431.46Danish Assistance to Afghan Rehabilitation and Technical TrainingUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/ESNFI/INGO/20753United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe project will support 17,500 shock affected individuals in 2,500 households ( 1,570 hhs in Badakshan province and 930 hhs in Takhar province , including of IDPs, IDP returnees and host communities. These households are affected by recent conflict, drought, economic crises and the approaching winter. As per the recent figures and findings of clusters, partners and ME these people are in bad humanitarian situation and require urgent humanitarian assistance particularly food, health and winterization support. Under this call ME will provide cash for winterization (heater and fuel/gas to 2,500 HH @200 USD per HH and cash for winter clothing and blankets package to the same 2,500 HH @105 USD in one installment through a mobile telecom company. The mobile telecom company will issued a sim card to the identified beneficiaries and the beneficiaries will received the cash from the agent of the mobile telecom company in the districts. As per plan the project will start on 20 January 2022 and with in the first one month all the targeted population will receive cash to fulfill their winterization needs and the cold and harsh winter had already arrived. The project is intended to cover 850 IDPs (households), 600 IDP returnees (households), 1,050 Households of host communities who had suffered from recent crises and shock. Out of the 2,500 HH the project will cover 32% or 800 HH having pregnant or lactating mothers will be prioritized. These households have greatly suffered from internal displacement as a result of conflicts, drought, on-going economic crises and loss of livelihood assets. The proposed project will cover Dasht e Qala and Baharak districts of Takhar province and Argo, Darayem and Warduj districts of Badakhshan province. The expected start date for the project is 20 January 2022. It is planned to deliver cash to households through mobile operating company for ensuring further safety and minimize potential risks. ME has a successful experiences of cash distribution through mobile companies in the past , even ME have an ongoing project of cash distribution for food project through mobile company. ME will conduct a regular monitoring and complaint registering mechanism system (which ME already have in place) throughout the project plus the end-line evaluation which will be conducted at the end of the project after the distribution that will figure out the satisfaction of the project beneficiaries. Mission East have run the regular monitoring and complaint registering mechanism already in place for all its projects where phone numbers are given to the beneficiaries from the very start of the project to register their complaint, which may start from the beneficiary selection period, apart from the phone numbers complaint boxes are installed in all the targeted areas with visual informative banners.Mission EastMission EastAfghanistan Humanitarian FundMohammad AslamCounty director +93 799 844 434mohammad.aslam@missioneast.orgIrene BronziniHeadquarter Program Manager+32 489070887irene.bronzini@missioneast.orgPrihambada JayalaksanaHead of Finance 00prihambada.jayalaksana@missioneast.orgMarthen MaloHead of Programs00marthen.malo@missioneast.orgBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Takhar36.66980130 69.47845410Emergency Shelter and NFI989916.92989916.92Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMission East791933.54Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMission East160468.11Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMission East1029.65Mission EastUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/ESNFI/INGO/21389United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsIRC’s proposed intervention will focus on the provision of a conditional cash-based shelter response, which has been identified by the Emergency Shelter/Non-Food Item (ES/NFI) Cluster as the primary need for current and anticipated populations displaced by conflict and natural disasters with the highest needs reported in the eastern region in Khogyani District in the Chamtala area of Nangarhar Province. IRC will leverage its current operational presence and ongoing humanitarian response activities to mobilize an immediate scale-up of assistance and reduce the current needs for conflict and natural disaster-affected and displaced populations. The intervention will provide cash for shelter repairs and upgrades as well as new shelter construction to affected households to address their emergency shelter needs from conflict and natural disasters and to be able to live in safe and dignified housing. The proposed intervention will address emergency response gaps with the assistance benefiting 1070 households (7490 individuals) through conditional cash for shelters in accordance with Emergency Shelter/Non-Food Item (ES/NFI) Cluster standards. Post distribution monitoring (PDM) findings from previous Afghanistan Humanitarian Funds (AHF) reserve allocations for similar types of assistance show a strong acceptance of cash as a means of shelter assistance. Given a functional market and construction materials being available in the local market, cash is the right response to addressing shelter needs. IRC has the requisite operational capacity to deliver cash safely and effectively to beneficiaries According to the Rapid Market Assessment (RMA) conducted by IRC, there are three markets available, and they are easily accessible by the beneficiaries. These markets are Khogyani district market, Surkhrud district market and the provincial capital city Jalalabad. This project will have a direct impact on reducing protection risks associated with harmful coping mechanisms, including child protection risks, in internally displaced population (IDP) settlements, and displacement areas. IRC will mainstream protection throughout project implementation to prioritize safety and dignity, avoid causing harm, and ensure meaningful access and accountability to affected populations. Shelter remains a key priority need of households after displacement, especially for women and girls. Lack of access to shelter can be particularly harmful to women who often face elevated protection risks during displacement. The proposed shelter intervention is targeted to the most vulnerable crisis-affected households, in which women and girls are often disproportionately affected. IRC will offer two shelter options for affected populations lacking access to adequate shelter, are living in overcrowded conditions, are displaced and being hosted or in rental accommodation but facing eviction, or living in informal settlements with inadequate shelter conditions. IRC will provide cluster-standard transitional shelters and support for households to repair their partially damaged shelters where applicable. IRC will assess affected households using the Household Emergency Assessment Tool (HEAT) to determine shelter needs and the most appropriate shelter response. Through the proposed shelter response, IRC plans to target 30 households approximately (210 individuals) through the construction of large size transitional shelters, 50 households approximately (350 individuals) through construction of small size transitional shelters, 890 households approximately (6230 individuals) through minor shelter repair, and 100 households approximately (700 individuals) through Major shelter repair in the Chamtala area of Khogyani District of Nangarhar Province.International Rescue CommiteeInternational Rescue CommiteeAfghanistan Humanitarian FundVicki AkenCountry Director+93(0)793400802Vicki.Aken@rescue.orgLuBna DurukanSr. Grants and Accountability Coordinator+93729080464Lubna.AlKhaldi@rescue.orgAhmad Reshad HamzaDeputy Grants Coordinator+93(0)729080248AhmadReshad.Hamza@rescue.orgNangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Emergency Shelter and NFI693118.78693118.78Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Rescue Commitee554495.02Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Rescue Commitee126206.45Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Rescue CommiteeXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/ESNFI/INGO/21403United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsDRC will implement a targeted nine-month emergency shelter response in Khogyani district of Nangarhar Province to ensure 1,070 of the most vulnerable shock-affected households have access to safe, dignified, and appropriate shelter. Specifically, DRC will provide shelter repair/upgrade to 970 households (6,790 individuals) whose shelters have been damaged in conflict and natural disaster, and transitional shelter to 100 households (700 individuals), whose shelters have all been destroyed due to conflict and/or natural disaster, further exacerbating pre-existing vulnerabilities and protection risks. Prior to implementation, DRC will conduct market monitoring using the ESNFI Cluster-endorsed tool to confirm that all required shelter materials are available and accessible in local markets. The type of assistance will be informed by detailed technical assessments to evaluate the extent of individual shelter needs and determine the appropriate response design. To ensure quality, timeliness, and safety of shelter activities, DRC engineers will develop a tailored BoQ for each shelter assessed and provide technical monitoring, support, and real-time coaching throughout implementation. To prevent the misuse of cash and ensure the intended objectives of the project are met, DRC will distribute the cash assistance in conditional instalments through pre-contracted financial service providers (FSPs) based on the signing of MoUs and progress of shelter repair or construction. DRC has been implementing shelter programs in Afghanistan for more than a decade, with proven technical expertise to effectively carry out the proposed activities in a time-sensitive and quality manner. The response will build on DRC’s comprehensive multi-sector response in the district through meaningful integration with ongoing emergency, food security, protection, and economic recovery activities.

Furthermore, droughts, other natural disasters, unemployment, economic crisis, and COVID-19 compounded problems for resident communities throughout Afghanistan. The large displacement of people is on and people are very uncertain about their future and security of lives. More than 400,000 people were registered as newly displaced since the beginning of May, 2021 that brings the total number of people displaced by conflict in Afghanistan in 2021 to over 550,000. By the start of 2021, the UN estimated 18.4 million people in need of humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan which is almost half of the overall Afghan population. In this critical juncture, AABRAR will save lives of 1,200 households (around 8,400 individuals) in the three targeted districts of Daykundi through cash assistance for heating/fuel and in-kind assistance by providing winterization kits (Standard Emergency Winter Clothing and Blanket Packages) as per the ESNFI Cluster standard. It is worth mentioning that all targeted 1,200 HHs will received both assistances (cash for heating/fuel and winterization kits (blankets and clothing). The selection of the targeted populations among districts in Daykundi are based on vulnerability of the beneficiaries. Standard winterization kits (in-kind) and cash for fuel/heating will be given to households who sustained their lives through daily income and are immensely affected by COVID-19, drought and conflicts. In order to reduce suffering from winter and health conditions, AABRAR will provide winterization kits in-kind and cash for fuel/heating to the targeted population. Beneficiaries are selected based on criteria such as: female headed HHs, families with pregnant and lactating women, people with disabilities, IDPs and returnees, elderly aged HHs, HHs with large family size (having more than 7 persons or large number of female members) and chronically ill HHs. Moreover, the priorities will be given to HHs having PLWs – in this regard based on AABRAR’s planning, at least 32% of the targeted beneficiaries will be families with pregnant and lactating women (384 HHs in number). The proposed project seeks to address the needs of 1,200 HHs with a period of four months. To target most affected geographic areas suited for project interventions, AABRAR will provide winterization support in three districts (Gizab, Nili and Kiti). 400 HHs shall be targeted in each of the stated district during 4 months project implementation period. AABRAR will contact ESNFI cluster, community and government departments to develop households’ inclusion or exclusion criteria to avoid discrepancies between actual and perceived vulnerabilities. AABRAR believes on strong coordination with stakeholders and we will work closely with ESFNI Cluster, DoRR, ANDMA, BSCs and local authorities for avoidance of the duplication in intervention. Moreover, selection of the beneficiaries for type of assistance will be assessed as per their needs through selection criteria. Project will continue sharing of the finalized list with communities, to validate selected HHs and to resolve conflict or issue if any. This process will facilitate support, raise awareness about the targeting process and inform community members of how to complain about and report any problems with the targeting and prioritization decisions once implemented. Project will continue developing and executing winterization kits (in-kind) and cash for heating/fuel after households’ validation by respective communities.Afghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundUmar Habib Project Manager 0093 (0) 767535514umarhabib@aabrar.org.afDr. Abdul BaseerExecutive Director0093 (0) 775558885abdulbaseer@aabrar.org.afNajibullah Abdul Khabir Finance Manager 0093 (0) 704096252najib@aabrar.org.afDaykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Emergency Shelter and NFI494090.69494090.69Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation247045.35Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation247045.34Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation7.49Afghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/ESNFI/NGO/20641United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsFollowing an escalation of conflict in Northeast region, many people had already been arrived in Kunduz city and surrounding areas, seeking safety from the conflict and other threats. According to Conflict Induced Displacement (as of 15 November 2021), the actual displacement between 1 Jan to 18 Oct 2021 is 100,156 individuals in Kunduz including 96,901 displaced to Kunduz city. Fleeing with nothing more than personal possessions, many of these IDPs remain vulnerable. The situation is more pronounced for people staying outside in open spaces who are at risk of additional health and protection concerns. Affected IDPs and host communities from Conflict and Natural disaster in the Kunduz as mentioned in the need assessment survey report are living in open spaces and damaged shelters expose to protection hazards and upcoming harsh winter (expose to -5 and below in coming months). In the said targeted area there are the high vulnerability level in the targeted areas and need support in order to increase the coping mechanism and reduce suffering in the upcoming winter 2021-22. An estimated huge number of HHs were internally and externally displaced due to recent conflict and natural disaster (Drought) within/from the districts. Some of them have already returned to their place of origin but due to the shrinkage of the existing resources they face critical issues and are severely vulnerable to the upcoming winter especially children, Pregnant and Lactating Women-PLWs, and people with disability and people with poor economic condition. Due to the limited resources, remoteness and accessibility, most people live in dire poverty. This project focuses on Theme 2: Winter support to address the needs of people most at risk from the harsh condition including the following interventions OCHR's proposes to support 625 households (4375 individuals, including 32% of PLWs) between December 2021 and Feb 2022 with winter clothes and blanket packages as well as heating/fuel packages with the aim to support of Kunduz population who will suffer through a harsh winter. The winter clothes and blanket packages will be distributed in kind and the fuel support will be distributed using cash through Hawala to project participants identified in Kunduz center, Qala-e-Zal and Chardara districts of Kunduz province in the north east region complimentary to or scaled up the current project interventions (2021 3rd Reserved Allocation) including (1) Cash for upgrading shelters for 205 HHs (2) Cash for Rent (CfR) for 100 HHs (3) Distribution of 900 ES/NFI Cluster standard winter assistance packages (blankets and winter clothing) to increase the coping mechanism and reduce suffering in the upcoming winter 2021–2022. This project will reach to 625 HHs (including 32% PLWs) affected by conflict and natural disaster including IDPs returned to the place of origin as well as affected non-displaced HHs in Kunduz city, Char Dara and Qala-e-Zal districts of Kunduz province. These standard winter assistance packages will be provided to most vulnerable affected HHs expose to upcoming harsh winter. As per the (2021 3rd Reserved Allocation) and to scale up our current interventions, OCHR has planned to upgrade its current activities and will select the targeted beneficiaries in a transparent manner as we have already visualized the most at risk/venerable HHs recently. And to ensure that the most affected receive the assistance. The selection will be done in the presence of the community elders, local authorities and UNOCHA office based in Kunduz. The project duration will be 6 months. OCHR rolled out a similar ongoing project from START-FUND UK in Kunduz province providing ES/NFI items, Food, Nutrition and WASH assistance to 500 IDPs HHs recently completed on 20 Aug 2021. And OCHR is currently implementing two similar ongoing projects in Kunduz funded by UNOCHA providing ES/NFI and WASH emergency responses to 1205 amp 1373 HHs in the targeted areas respectively.Organization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefAfghanistan Humanitarian FundGhulam Sadiq SafiDirector General +93700001985director@ochr.org.af Faisal RaofiFinance Manager+93744046675adminfinace@ochr.org.afKunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Emergency Shelter and NFI248816.46248816.46Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian Relief149289.88Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian Relief99526.58Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian Relief4537.35Organization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/ESNFI/NGO/20656United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAccording to the AHF 1st Standard Allocation for winterization emergency assistance, for the affected people by drought, natural disasters, COVID-19 is the main factor causing vulnerabilities during the winter season. CAHPO’s proposed intervention is an emergency delivery intended to ensure a timely and effective winterization response to needy people in priority areas in the mentioned provinces. The intervention will focus to meet the urgent humanitarian needs of IDPs and host vulnerable populations as well as those who return back and seeking to receive ESNFI assistance in provinces. Through the intervention, CAHPO intended to support 1050 affected families to save their lives through the provision of immediate delivery assistance with the provision of in-kind heating items, winter clothing, and blankets (Theme 1 amp 2 in this allocation). The project supports 7350 most vulnerable beneficiaries (4384 in Zabul districts Arghandab amp Tarnak va Jeldak, 2966 in Ghazni of Gelan). The number of beneficiaries for each type of activity will be determined based on the initial assessment in these two provinces, briefly mentioned under “needs assessment section below and for detail Annex 01 the assessment report. Providing support in kind is more favorable for many vulnerable families who will be targeted such as PWD, female/child-headed families, and elderly headed in the target areas, at least 32% of the total beneficiaries will prioritize Pregnant and Lactating Women in this intervention. CAHPO will distribute the project items at the nearest possible location to selected families and will coordinate with the nutrition partner agency about Pregnant and Lactating women. CAHPO will select and identify the beneficiary with the proper selection using the vulnerability Cluster Criteria. CAHPO male and female staff members will be involved to ensure the engagement of population in the selection process that the most vulnerable people in need are prioritized for the winterization, including female-headed household child-headed household disabled headed household elderly headed household very large family (9 members or more) very poor families families with chronically- ill members or having other pressing vulnerability. The project items will be procured under the supervision of the committee and will be delivered to identified beneficiaries by the distribution committee. CAHPO will properly coordinate the implementation process with all actors in the area as it was coordinated in the planning stage. Post-distribution monitoring will be conducted with a sample of beneficiary households. CAHPO integrates the CHS commitments to ensure that any negative impact that the project could have on women, men, and children will be timely identified and addressed by the project team. Complaints and feedback handling mechanism of CAHPO will give chance to all the people claim for their rights and benefit from the intervention. Coordination about the proposed activities and locations took place through relevant ESNFI and AHF partners during the proposal development to avoid duplication of services. CAHPO has been present in the targeted provinces since 2013, familiar in the areas through active communication among the community for humanitarian and development purposes which will contribute to the effective implementation of the project. COVID-19 pandemic is still a threatening phenomenon, all measures according to WHO and Health sector guidance will be considered during the implementation and awareness will be provided to beneficiaries. The project has mainstreamed themes related to the COVID pandemic and protection-related issues. The COVID-19 and Protection sessions will take place at the distribution site according to WHO and Protection Cluster standards.Community Action for Healing Poverty OrganizationCommunity Action for Healing Poverty OrganizationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundZabihullah GhazawiDirector General (93) 700030499cahpo.kbl@gmail.comMir Afzal Program Director (93) 799329337m.afzal@cahpo.com Mohammed Shoaib NasimiFinance Officer0793659196 shoaib.nasemi@gmail.comGhazni33.55000000 68.41666700Zabul32.19187820 67.18944880Emergency Shelter and NFI404567.00404567.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCommunity Action for Healing Poverty Organization202283.50Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCommunity Action for Healing Poverty Organization202283.50Afghanistan Humanitarian FundCommunity Action for Healing Poverty OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/ESNFI/NGO/20707United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe coalition of conflict and Drought has left most of people unable to face Afghanistan’s freezing winter temperatures. Around half a million people have become displaced since last winter and now lack essential NFIs for winter survival. Additionally, the economic devastation of the conflict has left highly vulnerable communities in displacement without access to heating and fuel. This shock risks pushing families into adopting negative coping mechanisms. The target beneficiaries of ADEO’s intervention will be the caseload who has not received winterization assistance and has been referred to ADEO for re-assessment/verification by ES/NFI Regional Cluster for Winterization assistance (Referral is Attached as Annex) The re-assessment/verification findings show a significant need of winterization assistance for vulnerable Conflict and Drought affected IDP and Returned IDP household. To respond to this crisis, ADEO is proposing urgent winterization support for both IDPs in Kunduz city as well as returned IDPs to their place of origin in districts of Kunduz province. The proposed intervention will primarily target the most vulnerable families who have been affected by Conflict and Drought in June - August of 2021 in Kunduz Province. The intervention consists of Cash for Heating, Winter Clothing and Blanket as a lifesaving activity The intervention will target 1180 IDPs and Returned IDPs households (8260 Individuals), through Cash and in kind modality contributions as they are unable to access markets for winterization NFIs. For the use of Cash distribution modality, ADEO conducted some focus group discussions among beneficiaries and they showed a strong preference for using Hawala as Financial Service Provider, the market check shows that Hawala system is functional in all the areas of intervention However direct cash distribution by ADEO has lower cost than Hawala and simplifies beneficiaries’ verification but due to security risk and Transparency of distribution ADEO intend to use Hawala. Banking system is not stable and withdrawal of cash is difficult and also it is not available in district level. Mobile money is not available in all area and beside this all the project beneficiaries don’t have access special elderly, pregnant and lactating women. The assistance will be delivered to the doorstep of those families who are particularly vulnerable and cannot collect from distribution points. To contribute with Nutrition cluster the intervention will target 377 Households with pregnant and lactating women PLW affected by acute malnutrition. ADEO proposes to intervene in Kunduz City, Aliabad, Char Dara, Imam Sahib and Khanabad districts of Kunduz province. During distributions and monitoring, ADEO will mainstream COVID-19 risk communication and awareness messaging and materials – including COVID-19 Kits and Hygiene promotion as well as gender-sensitive behavioral change messaging to positively influence expenditure choices and coping strategies. Since the distribution is conducted in an enclosed space during winter, ADEO will limit the number of beneficiaries per distribution and will provide masks to beneficiaries as well as project staff Sanitizers will be procured for use by beneficiaries and staff during the distribution. Gender, age, and disability considerations will be integrated as much as possible to ensure the response is inclusive to all segments of a community, particularly People with Specific Needs (PSNs). The winterization response will pay special attention to children, the elderly, chronically ill, or those with limited mobility to deliver lifesaving insulation support to the most at-risk groups. This project will fill existing gaps in ESNFI support and complement activities undertaken by other partners who are responding the same caseloads ADEO will monitor the implementation process through the life of the project and will have Post distribution monitoring after the completion of the projectAfghanistan Development and Education OrganizationAfghanistan Development and Education OrganizationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundSayyed Abdul TawabManaging Director+93708602222naqshbandy@adeo.org.afHamidullahRegional Manager+93799220036abdulhamidyawer87@gmail.comNoorullhaq HaqbinFinance Manager+93799428182haqbin.adeo@yahoo.comKunduz36.85993070 68.71549750Emergency Shelter and NFI475647.10475647.10Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghanistan Development and Education Organization237823.55Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghanistan Development and Education Organization237823.55Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghanistan Development and Education OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/ESNFI/UN/20672United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsTo save lives in the areas of highest needs, in line with the Emergency Shelter/Non-Food Item (ES/NFI) Cluster’s Winterization strategy, IOM proposes the distribution of Cash for Winterization, Blanket Modules, and Winter Clothing kits to internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other vulnerable groups in host communities. The cash assistance will be one-off assistance of the amount needed by a family of seven as per ES/NFI Cluster standards to cover, fully or partially, their basic needs. This will be complemented with in-kind assistance (distribution of winter clothing and blankets) based on assessed need. The assistance will be unconditional and unrestricted, in that beneficiaries will ultimately make their own decisions on how to use the money. Under the AHF 1st Standard Allocation, IOM will be targeting 3,975 families. Each family will receive cash for winterization complemented with in-kind winter clothing and blankets assistance simultaneously, in the following provinces: Daykundi (300 families), Ghor (425), Nuristan (350), Paktika (250), Wardak (300), Badakhshan (400), Badghis (500), Sar-e-Pul (350) and Hilmand (1100). The cash for winterization calculation is based on specific NFI needs that will contribute to meeting a Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB) as recommended by the ES/NFI cluster and outlined below. Cash-for-winterization (heater/fuel): a total of 3,975 families will be targeted under this component (3,975 families = 200 USD) post-distribution monitoring conducted by IOM for cash-for-winterization and NFIs for 2020/21 show over 90% satisfaction level, as it allows flexibility in utilization of cash to address the most urgent needs. IOM has established long term agreements (LTAs) with financial service providers and has also used the services of banks for disbursement of cash to beneficiaries. All modalities are undertaken in line with IOM Humanitarian Assistance Programme’s (HAP) Cash Based Intervention (CBI) SOP and the guidance of the Cash amp Voucher Working Group. In-kind blankets and winter clothing: a total of 3,975 families will be targeted under this component (3,975 families = packages worth 120 USD each) in Daykundi, Ghor, Nuristan, Paktika, Wardak, Badakhshan, Badghis, Sar-e-Pul, Hilmand. Beneficiaries will be reached through multiple, complementary methodologies including: (i) referrals from IOM HAP teams (ii) upcoming Joint Assessment Team (JAT) assessments led by IOM assisting recent conflict and natural disaster affected populations (iii) complimentary assistance of NFIs, emergency shelter and shelter repair tool kits depending on the needs of the families, backed by HEAT assessments data (iv) IOM field staff conducting house-by house survey using Kobo tools for data collection (v) referrals from IOM Cross Border Reintegration and Resettlement program (vi) Particular efforts will be made to cover the needs of Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLWs) which will also include close coordination with the Nutrition Cluster partners in the field and consulting clinics (BPHS) for registered PLWs. Eligibility criteria will be set as per ES-NFI Cluster strategy and AHF guidelines and requirements, including a focus on the inclusion of people with disabilities and prioritizing vulnerable women headed families for humanitarian assistance. IOM will also ensure to consider COVID-19 SoPs and system-wide access strategies to ensure staff security, as well as remain committed to reaching people most in need for assistance. The AHF 1st Standard Allocation will allow for additions to be made to the target project participants for winter assistance and increase the overall target project participants from 27,500 to 31,475 families with the full support package. IOM will strengthen coordinate efforts with partners and is flexible in relocating the proposed response should there be overlap with other partners aiming to intervene under AHF 1st Standard Allocation and considering emerging needs.International Organization for MigrationInternational Organization for Migrationnot applicableAfghanistan Humanitarian FundGul Mohammad Ahmadi Program Manager +93 79 065 9573gahmadi@iom.intDavid MavengereSenior Resource Management Officer+251929001380dmavengere@iom.intSusan PriceProject Development Officer+93794795117sprice@iom.intBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Badghis35.16713390 63.76953840Daykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Hilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Nuristan35.32502230 70.90712360Paktika32.26453860 68.52471490Sar-e-Pul35.67074730 66.04635340Wardak34.35134940 68.23853390Emergency Shelter and NFI1739554.731739554.73Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for Migration1739554.73Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for MigrationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/ESNFI/UN/21388United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsTo save lives in the areas of highest needs, in line with the Emergency Shelter/Non-Food Item (ES/NFI) Cluster’s 2022 strategy and projected need under HRP, IOM proposes the distribution of Cash for transitional shelter and shelter repair to internally displaced persons (IDPs), natural disaster affected/displaced and other vulnerable groups in Badghis and Kunduz provinces.

The backdrop of this humanitarian crisis was an already dire situation due to decades of war, economic decline, price increases, and rising poverty. In 2021, thousands of Afghans were displaced from their homes and original locations, continued to face the COVID19 pandemic and variants, the worst drought in 27 years, and the withdrawal of international forces which came as a major game changer for the country. In 2021, 24.4 million people – 55 per cent of the population – need humanitarian assistance in 2022, a staggering 30 per cent increase from 2021. Between September and December of 2021, the ES-NFI Cluster prioritized immediate Shelter and NFI assistance for 87,000 people across 12 high priority provinces, requiring $2.1 million. With the harsh winter season fast approaching, the Cluster needed $25.2 million specifically to mobilize early winter-season ES-NFI support (including winter clothing, emergency shelter improvements, heating and fuel, shelter repairs and rental support) to reach 671,000 people across 21 provinces prone to cold climatic conditions. All of these activities are already included in the HRP and the 2021/22 Joint Winter Plan. Due to aggravated vulnerabilities driven by the drought and erosion of livelihoods and household reserves as well as conflict-induced damage and destruction to people’s homes, the Cluster planned to reach more than 152,000 people with specialized winter assistance. Additionally, the Cluster aims to reach some 100,000 newly internally displaced people, beyond initial HRP projections, with emergency and transitional shelter, shelter upgrade, and household items assistance – requiring an additional $7.7 million. In contribution to the ES/NFI Cluster targets in 2021, UNHCR aims to provide: 1. Transitional shelter construction to 192 households affected by flooding and conflict. For this assistance and given the collapse of the banking system in Afghanistan, direct cash assistance will be provided to project recipients through UNHCR’s money service provider (MSP). Cash assistance will be provided to construct shelters and provided in instalments based on the progress of works. Here, the cash grant is $1,472, for average family sized shelter, and $1,852.6 for large family sized shelter - which will go directly to project recipients and 5% of the transfer amount will be paid to the MSP. 2. Shelter repair/upgrade to 1,622 households in need of major or minor shelter repairs due to flooding and conflict. For repairs and/or upgrade, a conditional cash-for-shelter repair support will be delivered allowing target populations to repair damaged shelters - USD 330 for minor damage and maximum transfer value of USD 550 for severe damage. This cash assistance will be paid in two instalments. The first instalment will be 63%. The first phase of repair works should be completed in six weeks. The 2nd Instalment will be 37% and all works should be completed within 10 weeks. Both above shelter assistance will be provided to persons of concern in Kandahar province (Kandahar, Maiwand Zari, Daman, Arghandab, Panjwai, Shawalikot), Kabul province (Kabul) Bamyan province (Bamyan), Jawzjan province (Sheberghan) and Nangarhar province (Khogyani). Regarding implementing partners, AABRAR in Nangarhar and Bamyan, ACHRO in Kandahar and BEST in Nangarhar, will all provide technical support and monitoring the quality of shelter construction undertaken by beneficiaries.United Nations High Commissioner for RefugeesUnited Nations High Commissioner for RefugeesAfghan Amputee Bicyclist for Rehabilitation and RecreationAfghan Community and Health Rehabilitation OrganizationOrganization for Relief DevelopmentAfghanistan Humanitarian FundDhan Bahadur SunuwarProgramme Officer+93 704 465 671sunuwar@unhcr.orgDinesh KankanamalageShelter Officer+93704996160thalpawd@unhcr.orgTony AsehExternal Relations+93702465611aseh@unhcr.orgBamyan34.90732960 67.18944880Kabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Emergency Shelter and NFI1248755.851248755.85Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations High Commissioner for Refugees1248755.85Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations High Commissioner for RefugeesXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/INGO/20547United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsWith the anticipation of harsh winter, Afghans are facing the worst humanitarian crisis since 2001 with over 22.8 million people reaching IPC3+ food insecurity levels since November (IPC,2021). Over 58% households already struggle to obtain food and 86% of them identify food as one of their three priority needs (REACH, 2021). At this very moment, agricultural households lack sources of livelihoods but are also acutely food insecure. While trends of increased food insecurity have regularly been observed during lean seasons and winter periods in Afghanistan, Afghan communities significantly reduced their resilience even prior to the beginning of the current lean season (SFSA 2021). Amongst the hardest hit are agricultural households in Balkh Province, one of the five most affected provinces according to agricultural data (SFSA 2021, FAO 2021). Indexes such as the Household Hunger Scale or reduced Coping Strategy Index are the highest in Balkh province of all Afghanistan (SFSA 2021). Over 89% of Balkh agricultural HHs report a reduction in this year’s harvest (FAO 2021). With the recent climate outlook and weak to moderate La Niña event, it is highly likely that lower than average precipitation and poor soil moisture conditions will result in yet another drought in 2022, i.e. 3rd drought in the last five years (FAO,2021). The situation is critical. Balkh agricultural households lack the necessary support, stocks and assets to cover their basic food needs in the upcoming winter months. In Balkh and Dawlatabad districts, over 50% of the households already rely on help or borrow money to cover their basic food consumption needs, 67% of them are already engaged in crisis or emergency levels of livelihoods coping strategies (PIN,2021). This project focuses on one of the highest populated districts of Balkh Province, Balkh and Dawlatabad districts, which are currently being underserved. PIN will provide cash for food assistance for two months to 2,764 vulnerable IPC 3 and 4 HHs (19,348 people, including at least 10,000 women and girls and 1,160 PWD’s) in agricultural and underserved districts of Balkh district (1,382 HHs/9674 individuals) and Dawlatabad district (1,382 HHs/9674 individuals) to support them in improving their food consumption and complement their depleted food stocks. Selected households will receive standard FSAC cluster cash based full food basket (AFN equal to 90 USD) for two consecutive months, totaling 180 USD (AFN equivalent) per beneficiary. Transfers will be provided in two rounds (one per month) of over the counter cash payments through a Hawala dealer. This target will be achieved through community-based targeting and beneficiary selection, localisation of underserved areas and applying the "whole of communities” approach. The project provides a flexible assistance modality through unconditional, unrestricted cash which ensures any assistance is provided in the timeliest manner in a way that increases the agency of those receiving it, allowing them to take decision on how to use the assistance to best enhance their food security and supplement other more positive coping strategies. This type of assistance reflects the feedback of the local population who overwhelmingly mention cash as to the most preferred modality of support (REACH/PIN, 2021). While unlikely and not supported by current data (WFP/PIN, 2021) and observation, in case the capacity of local markets to supply the required food products in enough quantities unexpectedly changes, PIN is prepared to divert to in-kind distributions modality. PIN has been operating in Balkh Province since 2001. For the last 20 years, PIN managed to operate in the majority of Balkh districts including Balkh and Dawlatabad, succeeding in building high acceptance among communities, local structures and stakeholders. PIN is also currently implementing cash-based responses serving 2000 HHs in Mazar-e-Sharif (covering food, shelter, winterization and NFI needs).People In NeedPeople In NeedAfghanistan Humanitarian FundLyndsey HandHead of Programmes+93 (0)729005621lyndsey.hand@peopleinneed.netJan SindelarDesk Officer for Afghanistan+93 (0)773340778jan.sindelar@peopleinneed.netKarolina HalirovaFinance Desk Officer+93 (0)773340778karolina.halirova@peopleinneed.netBalkh36.89091580 67.18944880Food Security693375.70693375.70Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPeople In Need554700.56Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPeople In Need106915.74Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPeople In Need1800.42People In NeedUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/INGO/20618United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe central highland provinces of Afghanistan, especially, Daykundi continue to face the negative impacts of insecurity, natural disasters, and economic shocks. According to recent IPC report, the shortfall expected in the winter season will further affect the farmers and inputs’ prices are expected to increase further. Apart from this, the closure of health facilities will impact the food security situation of the province. As a result, the overall food security will further deteriorate in the province and it'll remain in phase-4. Hence, Daykundi province require emergency assistance to cope with overlapping challenges including a potential La Niña-driven drought. Based on a range of weighted indicators, the province has been classified with a high level of risk of drought among the 25 most affected provinces in Afghanistan with 65% of the population projected to be in IPC 3+ during the period November 2021 March 2022. Thus, provision of certified wheat seeds, fertilizers and vegetable seeds to households in Daykundi, will support the farmers’ livelihoods and allow them to increase their agricultural yields in the coming cultivation season. Therefore, Afghanaid proposes to support 1000HHs (7,000 individuals) in Shahristan, 1,167HHs (8,169 individuals) in Miramor, 1,000 HHs (7,000 individuals) in Ishtarlay and 1,166 HHs (8,162 individuals) in Khedir with in-kind agriculture assistance for the spring season cultivation accordingly. The provision of agricultural inputs to 4,333 vulnerable smallholder farmers in Daykundi will alleviate food insecurity and increase the farmers’ income from sustainable agricultural production through these inputs for season to improve productivity and households’ income. The project is aligned with the AHF 3rd reserves allocation strategy, which indicates that the impact of natural disasters has affected an estimated 13 million people in Afghanistan, with Daykundi being in the five most severely affected provinces. It contributes to the Strategic Objectives 1 and 3 and will assist vulnerable households to ensure no regression from IPC 3 to IPC 4. The proposed project will target 4,333 vulnerable smallholder farmers (30,331 individuals) with including female headed households living in the targeted area. The seed and fertilizers will be procured and provided by FAO and Afghanaid will distribute to the target households. The present response priorities are in line with past experience and capability and represents a scale up of relief and winterization emergency activities in the target area. Afghanaid is well placed to implement this project, we have operations in all target districts and excellent access and strong relationships with communities as well as district and provincial authorities. Afghanaid has extensive experience in humanitarian programming, with current and recent humanitarian assistance projects in multiple provinces including Daykundi, funded by AHF and FAO. These projects include emergency livelihoods, winterization, and shelter assistance responses, using both in-kind and cash modalities.AFGHANAIDAFGHANAIDAfghanistan Humanitarian FundNajibullah NamiqGrants and Partnership Development Manager+93799733944najeebullah@afghanaid.org.ukDaykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Food Security182014.78182014.78Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID145611.82Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID36402.96Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID489.77AFGHANAIDUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/INGO/20693United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe project will provide emergency response to the multiple shock affected, severe and acute food insecure, displaced, extremely marginalized and vulnerable populations under IPC Phase 3 and above , in Zabul province to improve their household food security and increase their resilience to upcoming/unexpected shocks during lean season through provision of cash for food assistance. Through the proposed project Children in Crisis will provide cash assistance to a total of 14,910 individuals (2,130 households) in 6 districts (Shinkay, Shimalzai, Shah Joy, Daychopan, Kakar and Nowbahar) of Zabul province. Based on the cluster standards, and the allocation strategy paper every eligible beneficiary household will receive $90 per month for a duration of 2 months. The total amount of $180 equivalent to two months food need of an average size family of seven members would be paid one off by a third-party financial service provider. Children in Crisis will use mix of Hawala and ROSHAN MSDM services for cash transfer. None of the mobile companies had operations in some of the target districts, in those districts CIC will use Hawala agents for cash transfer, while in districts such as Shah Joy and Shinkay, where ROSHAN has network coverage, CIC will use ROSHAN mobile money services. This amount is based on the CVWG and FSAC cluster recommended food basket (calculated based on 2,100 kcal/person/day food need of an average size family and the market price of food items). Market price monitoring will be done before and after each distribution to verify the feasibility and appropriateness of the cash amount. Children in Crisis’ interventions will be guided by the Integrated Food-Security Phase Classification (IPC) and the Whole of Afghanistan Assessment findings, to provide standard assistance to address the need of affected population in a dignified and transparent manner. As per IPC, Zabul province classified at Crisis (IPC3) for the period October to November 2021. During the period November 2021 to March 2022, the food security situation in Zabul would further deteriorate as the provinces is projected to fall under Emergency Phase (IPC phase 4) which means in the fringe of a famine-like situation. Out of the total population of 494,813 people in Zabul 247,406 people are classified at IPC Phase 3 or above out whole 173,184 people are considered to be in crisis (IPC phase 3) and 74,222 persons in Emergency (IPC phase 4). Children in Crisis will integrate gender and protection across project cycle by inclusion of women, and girls in each phase of the project cycle. This will be achieved through regular negotiation and engagement with the IEA, religious leaders and the community representatives. The protection will be mainstreamed through analyzing all the potential risk toward program participants and applying appropriate risk mitigation measures. This includes assessment of all the beneficiaries considering do no harm and safe programming principles and approaches, identification and selection of safe and easily accessible distribution points, establishment of complaint and response mechanism and post distribution monitoring. Children in Crisis is committed to beneficiary data protection as per the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The contract wit financial service provider will include clauses on beneficiary data protection. In addition, Children in Crisis will share only password protected list of beneficiaries with only one focal point o the financial service provider. With Hawala agents, Children in Crisis will only share the hard copies of beneficiary list which will be collected back at the end of the distribution each day.Children in CrisisChildren in CrisisAfghanistan Humanitarian FundFraidoon AmiriSenior Program Manager0093700160095fraidoon.amiri@street-child.orgHamidullah AbawiCountry Representative0093795767676h.abawi@street-child.orgFarhad NabizadaFinance Manager0093799324325farhad.nabizada@street-child.orgZabul32.19187820 67.18944880Food Security497391.20497391.20Afghanistan Humanitarian FundChildren in Crisis397912.96Afghanistan Humanitarian FundChildren in Crisis74651.27Afghanistan Humanitarian FundChildren in Crisis1062.14Children in CrisisUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/INGO/20724United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsIn 2021 the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan deteriorated precipitously due to multiple intersecting crises and levels of food insecurity have risen to emergency levels. In 2021 the country suffered its second major drought in three years) and low winter rainfall and high temperatures coupled with the La Nina weather phenomenon reduced water access, and it is believed that the continuation of the La Nina will bring below-average rainfall for a second consecutive year. In total, crop production fell by 40%. (WFP August 2021). Additionally, the change in regime over the summer brought about serious economic disruption. The banking sector introduced strict limits on cash withdrawals which caused a serious liquidity crisis, job losses have been widespread and even before the change in administration, many civil servants hadn’t been paid in months. Inflation become rampant and the price of wheat flour rose by 31% (WFP November 2021). Furthermore, food imports have declined due to trade sanctions placed on the new regime, further increasing prices. The wheat deficit alone is estimated to be 3MMT. As a result, Afghanistan is seeing the highest numbers of acutely food insecure people in its history. It is predicted that over this winter 22.8 million people, which is equal to 55% of the population, will face acute levels of hunger, including the 8.7 million people in IPC phase four acute food insecurity. This is a 30% increase from the same season last year (IPC analysis October 2021). In Badakhshan in particular, 30% of the population are already in IPC phase 3, and 25 % are in IPC phase 4, and it is forecasted that over the winter this will rise to be 35% in phase 3 and 30% in phase four. (IPC analysis October 2021). Given the worsening crisis, and in line with strategic objective 1 of the Humanitarian response plan and theme 1 of the allocation strategy, Concern is proposing an intervention to support food security in Badhakshan, in line with the cluster priorities and specifically responding to Activity two of the FSAC cluster response strategy. Our intervention would build on two decades of experience in the region, a strong operational presence (including a field office in the province), and technical expertise as well as the needs and gaps outlined in up-to-date assessments. Specifically, we intend to distribute 2-month food baskets in the form of cash to the value of $90 each, in line with all cluster standards, to 2771 extremely food-insecure households (19397 individuals), i.e. those in IPC phase 4, in the districts of Arghanj kwah, Khash, Yamgan and Kuran wa Monjan in Badakhshan Province. Cash assistance will provide the flexibility for each household to choose the food items as per their households and accessibility to the district market, and avoids current supply chain issues (specifically with the procurement of wheat in large volumes). Since Concern is targeting remote and hard to reach districts we will also be supporting beneficiaries with transport costs to be able to access the market. The project will be guided by a cash and voucher assessment conducted by Concern. Selection and distribution will take into account all protection and gender guidelines to ensure it is consistent with human dignity. Post distribution monitoring will be conducted at an appropriate time after distribution. Concern is incredibly well-positioned to provide trusted, rapid humanitarian assistance that will address immediate food needs in efforts to save lives, improve people’s wellbeing, and reduce the use of negative coping mechanisms.

As the country slowly recovered from the severe drought in 2018 and lingering effects that remained, which were aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict, this second drought in four years is expected to have a significant impact across a large part of the country, on both rain-fed and irrigated agricultural crop production, especially cereal production during the main growing and cultivation season (May to September), and on pasture conditions and livestock health. In addition, the effects of the drought are depleting many already poor and vulnerable households’ financial and asset reserves as they struggle and resort to extremely negative coping strategies, with the poorest and most vulnerable households incurring catastrophic levels of debt. Due to its long-standing presence in Faryab, ACTED benefits from a good acceptance in the communities and an experienced team that has been involved in the implementation of many projects, including food security interventions. Through this project, ACTED is going to provide emergency food assistance delivered via cash support to 18,424 highly food insecure beneficiaries categorised as IPC 4 in Faryab (Dawlat Abad, Andkhoy, Qaramqul and Qurghan districts). The cash for food assistance will target 2,632 vulnerable HHs (658 HHs per district). This intervention will enable families to meet their needs in terms of food security for a period of two months, giving them a crucial support during the winter.

As per the Cluster Outcome 1.2, the project aims for shock-affected people to have minimum household food consumption of above 42.5. Based on the latest IPC report, a priority intervention is to support at-risk women and children in IPC Phase 4. Therefore, we will prioritise these target beneficiaries, as well as people living with disabilities, in accordance to principles of inclusivity. In Herat, the project will target two Districts – 1458 households in Shindand and 1000 households in Kushk-e-Kuhna. These districts were prioritized based on need and FSAC cluster recommendation to further coordinate with WFP on which specific districts to be covered since they are applying for the same province and activity. As suggested, WFP and ActionAid, Afghanistan (AAA) have divided the Herat province in order to reach the highest number of beneficiaries with food distributions. During the project implementation ActionAid will coordinate with WFP and other FSAC partners to ensure that duplication is avoided and complementarity promoted. AAA, with support from local volunteers, will be distributing food baskets to the targeted households based on cluster recommended amounts. In case adequate number of IDPs and returnees are not available, AAA will cover host communities who are equally vulnerable. To support a household of 7 people for one month, a food basket will contain Wheat flour 62 kg, Rice 24 Kg, Vegetable oil 9 Kg, Pulses 15 kg, Salt 1 kg. This is in accordance with the Afghanistan Minimum Expenditure Basket, recommended by the FSAC cluster. There will be 2 rounds of distributions, to ensure that each household will receive emergency food baskets for two months. Food will be locally sourced where possible. As per the IPC October 2021 Response priorities, in-kind food assistance will be pre-positioned at the on-site of the project, to ensure it will be delivered to IPC Phase 4 population who might be cut off by winter weather by local volunteers and staff. To ensure we are mainstreaming protection concerns, the project will aim to increase knowledge amongst the targeted vulnerable households on existing referral pathways and protection services for survivors of SGBV, unaccompanied children and people living with disabilities in the two districts in Herat Province. Operational, security, safety and financial risk and the corresponding mitigating measures will be in place risk registers will be regularly updated and communicated a detailed monitoring and evaluation plan will be implemented measuring indicators, applying lessons learnt and documenting recommendations and sustainability or handover strategies will be explored for the project’s duration.ActionAidActionAidAfghanistan Humanitarian FundSudipta Kumar BadapandaCountry Director +93 799043656sudipta.kumar@actionaid.orgMohammad Salem YounesiFinance Coordinator+93 790905906salem.younesi@actionaid.orgHirat34.34194400 62.20305600Food Security580000.33580000.33Afghanistan Humanitarian FundActionAid464000.26Afghanistan Humanitarian FundActionAid73918.91Afghanistan Humanitarian FundActionAid0.00ActionAidUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs1392.00ActionAidUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/INGO/20782United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe prolonged multiple crises unfolding in Afghanistan have had devastating effects on people’s ability to meet their daily needs and to cope with sudden shocks. The recently updated Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis shows the food security situation has further deteriorated with worrying implications for the winter lean season ahead. An estimated 22.8 million people, or 55 per cent of the population, are expected to be in crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC 3+) between November 2021 and March 2022 (AHF Allocation Strategy). The targeted province, Balkh, is considered to be in the IPC 4, in an emergency situation (IPC Analysis) and FSAC has categorized the province as at a high priority due to the number of people in need and the multiple needs to be met. Afghanistan is highly prone to natural hazards, such as floods and droughts that have badly impacted on farmers’ production capacity and livelihoods sustainability. In Balkh, 70% of participants in a recent FAO survey have declared to have suffered from recent severe/moderate food insecurity, while 22% to be in an IPC3+ situation. From the same analysis emerges that 44% of the families are suffering because of the drought and 69% suffered a less than average harvest (FAO). To respond to the above situation, DACAAR, as part of the proposed project, will provide food assistance to 19,600 affected people, as follow: - distribution of home-based kitchen gardening kits and livestock packages to 19,600 beneficiaries in line with FSAC guidelines. DACAAR will conduct social mobilization in coordination with targeted communities, CDCs and Shura elders and relevant local sectoral authorities to ensure that the most vulnerable drought-affected population is identified and selected. DACAAR will select a safe distribution point in coordination with the target beneficiaries and will ensure that the day, time and location for the distribution of food packages are accessible and easy to reach. DACAAR will also ensure that measures are in place for safe and non-discriminatory distribution of the packages. In addition, DACAAR’s field staff will add to the knowledge, skills and experience of the beneficiaries through on-the-spot brief hands-on demo training prior to the distribution of packages so that the beneficiaries appropriately utilize the distributed items Danish Committee for Aid to Afghan RefugeesDanish Committee for Aid to Afghan RefugeesAfghanistan Humanitarian FundIrshad AlamyarHead of Fundraisind and Communication+93(0)797011021irshad@dacaar.orgMarco PennisiGrants and Communication Adviser+93(0)797011019marco.pennsi@hotmail.orgNoorgulManager Finance+93(0)793407911noorgul@dacaar.orgShahwali SalarzaiDeputy Director and Head of Programme+93(0)799212374shahwali@dacaar.orgBalkh36.89091580 67.18944880Food Security682629.49682629.49Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDanish Committee for Aid to Afghan Refugees546103.59Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDanish Committee for Aid to Afghan Refugees128564.11Afghanistan Humanitarian FundDanish Committee for Aid to Afghan Refugees121.15Danish Committee for Aid to Afghan RefugeesUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/INGO/20791United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThis proposed project aims to provide life-saving assistance to address the immediate food needs of 3,050 households (21,350 beneficiaries) and will be implemented in four districts of Badakhshan Province (Argo, Kohistan, Yawan and Zibak). The beneficiaries will be prioritized based on the level of need determined by a rapid needs assessment that will be conducted by the Norwegian Afghanistan Committee (NAC) this will be conducted on the first month of project immediately after initial coordination and selection of communities completed. Most of the population in these hard-to-reach districts are classified as IPC phase 4 (emergency). This proposed project will be implemented to improve the food security of those classified as IPC phase 4 through the distribution of cash for food commodities, based on the cluster’s food basket. The chosen modality to deliver this assistance will be cash-for-food for the most food-insecure households, which will enable target beneficiaries to access essential food items for two months. This project aligns with NAC’s current programs to add emergency food assistance to our “food and work program” for food security to ensure that families and their children have access to food of sufficient quality and quantity to meet their daily basic needs. NAC will ensure a gender-sensitive selection process, accessible accountability mechanism and gender-balanced field team to ensure easy access by both genders. All project beneficiaries will be eligible to receive two months of cash assistance through the selected financial service providers (FSPs)/ local hawala dealers. The value of each of the two cash transfers will be USD 90 per month and will cover the full monthly food basket for a household of seven (based on FSAC standards). NAC will contribute in areas where we are currently implementing our Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) funded 3-year program. Using our knowledge, experience and trained personnel, NAC will also provide the beneficiaries of the AHF project with: 1. Nutrition training: beneficiaries will learn about nutrition through messages and posters covering topics such as basic healthy cooking practices, how to best utilize vegetables, children’s diet diversification, and the use of staple foods. 2. Health training: beneficiaries will be informed about how to prevent and respond to communicable diseases, reducing the risk of spreading COVID-19, hepatitis, and other diseases that impact the lives of community members. 3. Responsible parenting training: beneficiaries will learn how increased spacing between childbirths will have positive effects on infant and maternal mortality rates and on children’s physical, social, emotional and cognitive development. Awareness-raising sessions on nutrition (food safety) and responsible parenting will be reported to NORAD. The trainings will help beneficiary households to understand the diversification of food items, nutrition and effective use of cash to provide the food commodities. NAC will ensure coordination and cooperation with other stakeholders in the proposed project target areas to avoid any duplication or overlap. This proposed project will be implemented using cash-for-food based on the standard food basket of the FSAC cluster. NAC did a rapid market assessment before developing the concept note and proposal, and found that the markets with the capacity to supply the necessary food commodities are available both in the district centers and Faizabad provincial market – the largest market, with daily connections of food supplies from Taloqan (Takhar) and Kunduz provincial markets, as well as the Mazar-i-Sharif (Balkh) provincial market and Kabul market. NAC will form a committee to select the financial service provider(s) to deliver the cash to the target districts.

Drought, political instability, and the Covid-19 pandemic have led to widespread illness and mortality and starkly reduced income opportunities in these provinces, depleting households’ productive assets and reducing their capacity to cope with shocks and cover basic needs. The latest SFSA and IPC data highlight widespread food insecurity (Phase 4) and negative coping in both provinces. Afghanaid’s recent needs assessment (attached as an annex) found that numerous households in Ghor and Daykundi require urgent assistance to cover their food needs through the long and harsh winter in these provinces. In line with FSAC priorities for this allocation, Afghanaid proposes to provide crucial food assistance to a total of 2550 vulnerable households in Dawlatyar (500 HHs) and Dolayna (500 HHs) districts of Ghor, and Shahristan (520 HHs), Khedir (520 HHs) and Miramor (510 HHs) districts of Daykundi, all of which have harsh winter climates and are noted as priority locations for this allocation in the Joint Winterization Plan and the cluster’s priorities for this allocation. The latest IPC report classified both provinces as IPC Phase 4, indicating emergency-level food insecurity in the target locations. Based on communities’ preferences and a market assessment, Afghanaid proposes cash as the modality for this response. The intervention will provide vulnerable households with a FSAC standard cash for food package with a value of US$180 per household, to cover the purchase of food for two months. In consultation with communities, the assistance will be delivered in a single tranche project staff will also consult the communities on any protection risks they foresee. Due to the limited range of financial service providers (FSPs) available currently and for reasons of cost effectiveness, the project team will work with a reliable Hawala service in both provinces to distribute the cash assistance from central distribution points. Afghanaid will establish participant selection and distribution committees including representatives from local communities, such as the leaders of Community Development Councils (CDCs) and District Development Assemblies (DDAs), and Afghanaid staff. Participants will be selected according to FSAC vulnerability criteria to ensure the vulnerable households most acutely in need are targeted, including displaced households, women-headed households and households with a large number of dependent children. Afghanaid is well placed to implement this project, with over 20 years of continuous presence in Ghor and 5 years in Daykundi, current operations in all target districts and excellent access and strong relationships with communities. Afghanaid has extensive experience in humanitarian programming, with current and recent humanitarian assistance projects in multiple provinces including Ghor and Daykundi funded by AHF, WFP and FAO. The proposed food assistance forms part of a planned multi-sectoral response complemented by Afghanaid’s FSAC-funded agricultural assistance project in the same districts Afghanaid is also developing a proposal for ESNFI to provide winterization assistance to these districts, ensuring that target communities’ needs are met comprehensively. Further, Afghanaid has approval from local authorities to deliver its programs in the target areas, and will actively engage local IEA actors to explain that the project can only proceed if authorities refrain from interfering in participant selection and give permission to employ and target women. This intervention is expected to provide 2550 vulnerable households (17850 men, women, boys and girls) with crucial food assistance, helping target households meet their basic needs, reducing illness and mortality, and increase participants’ capacity to rebuild their livelihoods by avoiding the sale of productive assets so that they are more resilient against future shocks.AFGHANAIDAFGHANAIDAfghanistan Humanitarian FundJohannes JansenProgramme Development Officer+93728630493jjansen@afghanaid.org.ukNajibullah NamiqGrants and Partnership Development Manager+93799733944najeebullah@afghanaid.org.ukAyub KhanDeputy Director of Finance Administration+93790897166akhan@afghanaid.org.ukZodiac Maslin-HahnDirector of Programme Development+442035596647zmhahn@afghanaid.org.ukDaykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Food Security650000.00650000.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID520000.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID120136.54Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID214.00AFGHANAIDUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/INGO/20815United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsProject Summary : Afghanistan in addition to Covid-19 pandemic and drought, has also exposed and experienced very bad time in last decades with significant rise internal war and conflict in provinces before, during the withdrawal of foreign forces. The country context from economic and poverty prospective further stressed with lack of employment opportunity and other income generation activities. According to IPC 2021 post-harvest season assessment, 18.8 million people are estimated to be experiencing high levels of food insecurity in IPC Phase 3 and 4. This includes 6.8 million classified in emergency (phase 4) nationwide and 11.9 million (30%) in Crisis (phase 3). Laghman province is listed among 45 rural areas that is facing emergency level of acute food insecurity (phase 4). Out of 635,317 total population, 127,063 people (20% of total population) are classified in phase 4 and 158,829 people or 25% of total population are in phase 3. The WFP / VAM food security analysis in September 2021, report that the price of most food items increased after the recent conflict and political change. The price of wheat, wheat flour, sugar and cooking oil significantly increased in September compared to the last months. In Afghanistan, the price of high-quality wheat flour rose by 5.7% in September, this followed 8% increase in August. Compare to the same time in September 2020, this price remains 17% higher and also 34% above the 5-year average price at main city. At the provincial level, the prices are increased by 11% in Laghman province. The VAM assessment indicates that similar to the high price of wheat flour, supply disruptions and increase of exchange rate caused the price of low-price flour to raise by 4.6% compared to the last months in Laghman. Afghani currency devaluation and exchange rate continue to raise hitting a new record high at 95 AFN/USD. Along with other contributing factors, community purchasing power become very low and tend to use negative coping strategy. 29.8 % people income has reduced (since last four months none of the government employee has received their salaries, local production is not exported to Pakistan and it has been sold in low cost where it has affected farmers income. 58.6% of HHs has faced problem while raising animals during the last 6 months. 38.5% lack of pasture and fodder, 29.5% animal disease, and 46.8% not owning any livestock. 76.8% of them has faced difficulties during cultivation, out of that 45.6% could not access to non-certified and 74.4% people couldn't access to certified seeds, and 5.2% of HHs was not able to obtain fertilizer. 88.2% has borrowed money in order to buy food items 62.4% HHs having family member with disability, with visible percentage of disability head of households. The combination of conflict, drought as well as Covid-19, has led to 45% of the population being classified as IPC 3 + or above in Laghman province. Businessmen and ordinary people further pushed into need and stress due to freeze on the banking system. Through the proposed project, FGA will provide unconditional cash assistance to 1,763 households (12341 individuals) in three districts (Mehterlam, Alinghar and Alishang) of Laghman province to buy food items/commodities. The FGA response focuses on cash assistance as per food basket cost for a family of 7 members for one month, has been set at $ 90 to cover 2100 Kcal / person / day. Based on the cluster standards and the allocation strategy paper, every eligible HH will receive USD 180 (in AFN equivalent amount based on the exchange rate of the particular period) over a period of two months to cope with their food insecurity during the winter season.

The project is aligned with the AHF’s strategy of 1st Standard Allocation 2021, will directly contribute to achieve the HRP’s Strategic Objective-1 “Lives are saved in the areas of highest needs” As per IPC projection, within the period of November 2021 – March 2022, 25% (164,688 individuals) of population in Bamyan province will be fallen under phase-4, emergency food insecurity. Bamyan is one of the food insecure provinces in Afghanistan because of its mountainous territory, very limited agriculture land, low food/crop production, less economic and employment opportunities, and isolation from other areas. Main sources of income of the people in Bamyan province is subsistence agriculture and livestock. In 2021, agricultural productions, particularly potato products have been dropped to half due to the below-average precipitation in the last wet season, lack of enough water for irrigation and long winter seasons which ultimately negatively impact on agriculture and livestock productions. Income generation activities also reduce during the winter season due to the closing of labor markets and agriculture activities. In addition, the economic decline in the wake of recent political transition in the country have severely decreased the income of Bamyan residents. Poor families can’t afford basic food items for the family members during and after winter season. They need external food assistance to survive in the upcoming lean period. (Nov. 2021 to May 2022). FSAC standard food package in each month will be distributed among the selected 2,180 beneficiary households for two months period. Food Security and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC)’s recommended standard in-kind food basket pack will be followed, which each package contents: 62 Kg wheat flour, 25 Kg rice, 15 Kg pulses, 9 litter vegetable oil and 1 kg salt. The project team will select the beneficiaries in a systematic approach as per IRW’s standard practices which comply with the AAP WG’s standards. The poorest and most vulnerable households will be identified and selected as per FSAC selection criteria, in close consultation with target communities through an inclusive process. Each one of the beneficiaries will be provided with awareness on nutrition and WASH on monthly basis, so that to be able to improve food consumption and hygiene practices. Systematic monitoring and evaluation procedures will be followed to measure the progress and quality delivery of the project. Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) will be carried out among 10% of beneficiary households. Complaint and Feedback Mechanism (CFM) will be in place in every step of the project implementation. The project team will be working with the community elders, religious leaders, local authorities, community people, and beneficiaries as well for ensuring their effective participation. The project will be implemented in impartial and non-discriminatory ways to promote the dignity and integrity of the people who will be receiving humanitarian assistance. IRW will also follow the “Do No Harm” principle to ensure beneficiaries’ security and safety. The project team will take necessary measures to minimize risks associated with the project implementation. IRW has smooth access in the proposed districts in Bamyan as currently one project (funded by AHF-OCHA) is being implemented in the same locations. IRW will maintain coordination with government authorities, OCHA, FSAC and other coordination mechanisms.Islamic Relief WorldwideIslamic Relief WorldwideAfghanistan Humanitarian FundDr. Saydul AlomCountry Director+93764217832Saydul.Alom@irworldwide.orgMohammad Golam SorwarHead of Programmes+93772647371Sorwar.Mohammad@irworldwide.orgMuhammad Abubakr MirzaFinance Manager+93780960641Muhammad.Abubakr@irworldwide.orgBamyan34.90732960 67.18944880Food Security487743.45487743.45Afghanistan Humanitarian FundIslamic Relief Worldwide243871.73Afghanistan Humanitarian FundIslamic Relief Worldwide187390.70Afghanistan Humanitarian FundIslamic Relief WorldwideXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/INGO/20886United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan is this year currently experiencing its second severe drought in four years. Food production has been hit hard, livestock are highly stressed and rural livelihoods are facing increased threats. Already, 22.8 million, 55 % of the population- projected between November 2021 and March 2022 to be in IPC Phase 4 (Emergency) and IPC Phase 3 (Crisis) food insecurity phases. Of these, around 4.9 million people (52% % of the analyzed urban population) will face high levels of acute food insecurity in IPC Phase 3 or above. Sharp drops in income, surging food and other commodity prices, growing unemployment and severed remittances are expected to contribute to the deterioration of food security. No population group had a net positive income in 2021. More than half of all children under-five face acute malnutrition in 2021 Assessments show that more households have higher than average debt this year. This is increasingly concerning as food basket costs are steadily rising, constituting more than 82 per cent of the average household income. Ghor province has been classified in IPC 4 is currently experiencing acute food security emanating as a result of multiple key drivers which include the 2020/21 seasonal drought, the recent upheaval that took place in August 2021, COVID-19, loss of employment, reduced income household sources, inflation amongst others. 65% of Ghor’s population is classified in IPC3 as per the October 2021 post-harvest analysis. Of these 40% are in IPC Phase 4, which represents a dire food insecurity situation. The majority of its inhabitants are households either facing food consumption gaps that are reflected by high or above-usual acute malnutrition or are marginally able to meet minimum food needs but only by depleting essential livelihood assets or through crisis-coping strategies. According the latest SFSA results, 54.6% of the households in Ghor province have been affected by major shocks/events in the past 6 months and the major ones being Drought / dry spell (18.7%)Loss of employment (9.9%), Reduced income (26.9%), Severe sickness or natural death of breadwinner (non-COVID) (6.4%), Conflict induced displacement (3.2 %), amongst other shocks. The poverty rate currently stands at an estimated 45.6%. In line with FSAC priorities detailed in the cluster’s specific priorities in the updated HRP 2018-2021 the Allocation’s vision (Theme 1: Expanded humanitarian access and response in underserved and hardest-to-reach locations.) as well as OCHA’s September 2021 Humanitarian Flash Appeal, WVA proposes to provide emergency food assistance 18,421 vulnerable people (2,632 HH) in underserved districts of (Firoz Khor, Charsada, Pasaband and Saghar in Ghor province. WVA will provide food assistance through unconditional cash (4 months half ration) to acutely food insecure (IPC3) 18,421 individuals from 2,632 Households. As per cluster priorities for this allocation, the intervention will provide in each district with 4 standard half rations for a total of US 180 per household (2021 FSAC’s guidelines). To ensure and cost effective and rapid response, WVA already has a long term agreement (LTA) with a financial service provider who has experience in working in the selected areas. Distribution will be done over 4 rounds of 45 USD per HH per month. Participants with limited mobility will be brought to the distribution point or receive the assistance at home. This intervention will provide 18,461 vulnerable men, women, boys and girls with urgent live saving food assistance, to address their immediate food gaps whilst reducing illness and mortality as a result of the current food crisis. The cash will be provided over a period of four months (4 rounds of half ration distributions) through use of a reputable Hawala agent who already has a long term agreement with World Vison Afghanistan.

These households are affected by recent conflict, drought, economic crises and the approaching winter. The recent figures and assessments of clusters and of ME show that the identifies HHs are affected by high vulnerability and required urgent humanitarian assistance particularly under food security and livelihood. Under this call ME will provide in-kind livelihood assistance including livestock support and home gardening to 25,550 individuals . As per plan the project will start on 20 December 2021 and with in the first one and half month all the targeted population will receive livestock support as it is highly required during the winter period and in the following one and a half month they will received home gardening package so they could start growing vegetables as soon as the spring season approaches. The assumption behind the intervention is that the livestock support will allow HHs to navigate through the next three months providing food for their livestock and ensure that they will be out of the emergency phase followed by home gardening in the early spring season ensuring their food consumption rate during the three months of winter season. Households in Badakhshan process and store harvested hays and straws to feed their animals during the winter season and use the cultivated cereal and beans and dried vegetables, which they were not able to store this year. Therefore Mission East consider providing feed for their animals plus de-wormer as well as take this opportunity to introduce home gardening as alternative to the stored food which will increase the food consumption score as well as improve resilience of the local population to face recurrent food crisis during the winter season. The project will be run through professional staff who will provide technical guide on their animals’ health as well as growing vegetables during various seasons. This will boost their food consumption score sustainability particularly targeting children, elders, women and girls with low immune system. The further sustainability of the intervention through a post emergency set up will be ensured through the nexus approach with the development programming that Mission East is carrying out in the same districts of the intervention. This project will be directly implemented by Mission East through professional Mission East Staff, after the detailed assessment through which vulnerable HH will be identified.Mission EastMission EastAfghanistan Humanitarian FundIrene BronziniHQPM+32 489070887 irene.bronzini@missioneast.orgAslan MohammadCountry Director +93 799 844 434mohammad.aslam@missioneast.orgMarthen MaloHead of Programs00marthen.malo@missioneast.orgPrihambada JayalaksanaHead of Finance00prihambada.jayalaksana@missioneast.orgBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Food Security642974.77642974.77Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMission East514379.82Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMission East128594.95Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMission East934.12Mission EastUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/INGO/20912United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsCRS will support 18,921 individuals (approximately 2,703 families) in Ashterlay District of Daykundi province with food assistance through cash distributions. As access to Ashterlay communities is quickly reducing due to rain and snow, a single cash distribution will be held in March/April 2022 with this AHF funding that will be equivalent to 4 months half ration per FSAC guidelines. This food assistance is demanded by the current context and will minimize households’ negative coping strategies, such as reducing meals, selling off productive assets, or migration out of the community. The proposed intervention will target all vulnerable households (blanket coverage) in several valleys of Ashterlay, a highly food insecure district of Daykundi. Daykundi itself has received a food security score of Phase 4 locations per the October 2021 IPC report. CRS will use an unconditional cash transfer modality to distribute as high a ratio of the project award amount as possible to target beneficiaries. Details of the cash distribution are described below: Ration: Per 2021 FSAC Guidance, a full ration of cash assistance for a family of 7 consists of enough food to cover 2,100 kilocalories per person per day for 30 days. The total cash value of the full ration package has been determined by FSAC to be $80 USD. However, per 2021 FSAC guidance, “seasonal food support” should be designed as half rations for four months or a total of $160 USD per 7-person family. CRS is currently using this method in the target area. An additional transport allowance of $12 USD will be provided to each family on top of their half ration to ensure home-to-market travel is not a liability for resource-poor families. Money Service Providers: In the absence of banking facilities, CRS Afghanistan uses Money Service Providers (MSP) to facilitate cash transfers from CRS HQ office to Afghanistan to supply cash as demanded by its programs in the country. Cash has been successfully transferred this way to districts in Daykundi. CRS has carried out MSP-supported cash payments for projects funded by USAID, United Nations, DFID, private foundations, and CRS private resources. To select an MSP, CRS announces a tender and asks potential MSPs to participate in a competitive process to provide cash transfer services within the geography of operation. CRS selects an MSP based on the MSP’s competitiveness, financial capacity, and presence in the area of operation. All MSP are vetted Bridger checks and via USAID’s vetting process. CRS ensures the MSP holds a valid license to perform money services in Afghanistan and is registered with the local government. Distribution Day: Cash amounts (based on the number of individuals in the family) will be distributed to an assigned representative of each family. This ensures that large families, which often face the most food insecurity, receive the support they need. CRS staff, community shura, and MSP representatives are all present when each family receives their cash allotment. Cash payments are made in the community to avoid putting families at risk. Voucher cards are given to each family in advance so they can present these cards as their identification on distribution day. Monitoring: CRS monitoring staff carry out randomized exit interviews to immediately check-in on and document beneficiary concerns on distribution day. Post-distribution monitoring is carried out in person or by phone to verify the total amount paid to households and gauge their satisfaction level with the activity.

The 3 targeted provinces are classified at level 4 (Emergency) based on the latest IPC analysis a situation due to worsening over the coming period (November 2021 to March 2022) with even more people projected to reach Crisis and Emergency levels (levels 3 and 4) of food insecurity. Needs are extremely high across the 3 provinces with Badghis having currently estimated 60% (424,521 individuals), Ghor 65% (639,719 individuals), and Hirat 60% (1,205,299 individuals) categorized as acutely food insecure (level 3 – crisis or more). The recent REACH analysis, based on the Joint Intersectoral analysis Framework, also confirms that needs are more acute for Displaced households (26% of the total population classified at critical level, 4/5 and 38% at severe (3/5) level) than for Non-Displaced household (only 18% at critical level and 38% at severe level)This situation has several contributing factors starting with the continuing La Niña climatic episode bringing below-average winter precipitation for the second consecutive year, the impact of high and ever-increasing food prices, economic sanctions on the de facto authorities, growing unemployment (compared with an already very high unemployment rate starting level) and possibly, increased internal displacement. Moreover, reduced incomes, lower international and domestic remittances, and continuing obstacles to humanitarian assistance (many related to the financial crisis and limited physical access during the winter period) are expected to further contribute to the deterioration of the food security situation of Afghans households, and in particular of the most vulnerable ones. Under this project, the most vulnerable households in the targeted districts and villages will be selected based on food insecurity vulnerability criteria through an assessment guided by War Child’s Standard Operating Procedures as well as community consultations and will be provided with two rounds of cash transfers over the project duration. These planned activities will enable households to meet their basic food needs which will, in turn, contribute to reducing asset depletion and reliance on negative coping mechanisms for the duration of the project.

The beneficiaries will receive livelihood inputs support including animal feed, dewormer and home gardening. The selected clients will include drought affected farmers, households with pregnant and lactating mothers, households having under 5 children in home, households with lack of access to land and other sources of livestock, and other considerations, such as women headed households, household with school going children, people living with disabilities, and households with family members with chronic illness. The intended result is to increase food and livestock production and income of respective households to meet their immediate and medium-term nutrition and dietary needs and recover from shocks including drought, COVID and conflict. The project is expected to reduce the household food deficit critically by increasing production and productivity required to enhance year-round households’ food consumption scores and dietary diversity. In addition, the action will establish and strengthen platforms for community preparedness and resilience to climatic shocks to minimize its impact on agriculture and livestock production and productivity.

However, it was predicted that the harvest would be below-average due to precipitation deficit according to FEWSNET’s climate data, contributing to lower wheat and cereal stocks. In addition to that, the escalation of conflict led to disrupted harvests, extensive displacement and disruption to the markets. Considering the recent liquidity crises and failure of markets that is resulting to increased prices of basic commodities as such, it is reasonable to expect the food security situation to further deteriorate in the months following the projection period In summary, SC will transfer the cash by using the using existing service providers with signed framework agreement (Roshan and/or Azizi Bank). In addition, as backup plan, SCI-Af is in the finalization of contract with 3 hawala agencies. The hawala service will be used when the formal FSPs are with limited capacity. This project will provide crucial assistance to 2,600 food insecure households in Barkunar and Asadabad districts of Kunar province through cash for food. Cash for food will be implemented here and cash disbursed in two rounds of assistance (value of each transfer is USD90 according to Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB), The duration of response is from the period 1 January 2022 to 30 June 2022 and considering the high the planned cash distribution will be in the months of severe needs of households.

 Against this fragile backdrop, DRC is proposing a six-month project to support 2,750 acutely food insecure host and internally displaced households (19,250 individuals) in Achin, Shinwar, and Jalalabad districts of Nangarhar Province through the one-off provision of unconditional cash assistance (USD 160/HH) to cover households’ basic food needs over a two-month period. As per Food Security and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC) recommendation, DRC will distribute the two-month cash support in a single tranche via a pre-contracted financial service provider (FSP). The one-off provision of two months’ worth of assistance is designed to mitigates risks and burden related to traveling to and from the distribution point, especially for women, elderly, and people with a disability, and in rural areas where the target population is spread out. The total transfer value (USD 160/HH) is aligned with the FSAC cash-based food basket for Afghanistan (2021) and is based on the Cluster’s standards and guidance to cover two months’ worth of assistance (USD 80/month x 2).

 Target districts were identified in consultation with FSAC, in light of the high need for food security interventions documented by the latest IPC analysis, which found that target locations in Nangarhar have transitioned from IPC phase 3 (crisis) to IPC phase 4 (emergency) (IPC Nov 2021-Mar 2022).

 Cash was selected as the most effective modality to meet project participants’ food needs given the proven functionality and accessibility of markets and basic commodities for target communities. In addition, cash assistance was also found to be the preferred methodology of households according to recent Household Emergency Assessment Tool (HEAT) assessments conducted by DRC in the target locations and in line with FSAC recommendations. The proposed cash assistance will allow the target population continuous access to markets to purchase fresh, staple food, leading to an expected improvement in food consumption at the household level and reduced reliance on negative coping mechanisms. The multiplier effect of such cash interventions on stimulating the local economy will be critical in the country’s short-to-mid-term economic recovery. 

The proposed intervention directly aligns with Strategic Objective 1 (SO1.2) of the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2022, which aims to improve access to life saving nutrition services for people facing acute food insecurity and malnutrition. DRC will closely coordinate with target communities, national and provincial-level authorities, and emergency actors and ensure a principled approach to humanitarian assistance. Drawing from DRC’s extensive experience in protection mainstreaming, the project will apply a protection lens to all activities and maintain the Do No Harm principle throughout all stages of the intervention. DRC’s independent Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) Unit will support with participant targeting, verification, and project monitoring of activities, while ensuring accountability to affected people (AAP) is upheld through the establishment of two-way complaints and feedback mechanisms across all areas of operation.

Over 24 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance (HNO 2022), with over half of these being children (over 3 million of them acutely malnourished). Around 22.8 million people have reached acute levels of food insecurity IPC3 and IPC4, and over 62% of the population are facing borderline (44.6%) or poor (18%) food consumption scores (SFSA 2021). Marginalized and highly vulnerable communities in Maydan Wardak province have been particularly affected (SFSA 2021, PIN 2022). In order to respond the needs of IPC 3 and 4 agricultural households in rural areas of Saydabad and Jaghatu districts of Maydan Wardak PIN has designed an intervention aimed at 40,670 individuals in building their resilience, mitigate risks from current crisis, improve their shock resistance, protect their livelihoods assets and prevent their livelihoods from collapsing. Firstly, PIN will provide to 2,400 households (16,800 individuals) in-kind livestock packages (equal to 95 USD): 1,680 households (11,760 individuals) in Jaghatu district and 720households (5,040individuals) in Sayadabad district. Livestock packages consists of 100 kg animal feed, 200kg straw, 2 liters of de-wormer and transportation costs per package as per FSAC standards. Distributions will be complemented with two sets of technical trainings on animal health, feeding practices d drought mitigation measures to increase the benefits and efficiency of the provided assistance. PIN will also organize a deworming campaign, with the support of existing network of community based veterinary services in the targeted areas. The campaign will treat beneficiary households’ small and large ruminants from the liver fluke, small intestine worms, large intestine worms, lung worms etc. It is estimated that that 10,000 animals will be treated. Through this assistance, households will be able maintain their livestock, mitigate distress sell, ensuring the health of their most valuable and/or remaining animals (breeding stock) by stabilizing the animals’ body weight, ensuring survival rations of feed compensating for the degraded pasture land, and reduce the pressure on households’ budget. Secondly, PIN will equip 44,000 extremely vulnerable rural households (28,000 individuals) with vegetable kits (in the value of 50 USD): 1,200 households (8,400individuals) in Jaghatu district and 2,800 households (19,600individuals) in Sayadabad districts.. Kits are aligned will FSAC standards and will consist of 1 kg of seasonal vegetable seeds (4 different types per 250 grams such as eggplant, beans, okra, onion, cucumber, carrots, pepper and spinach) and necessary basic tool equipment such as spade, hoe and rake. Kitchen gardening introduces an alternative source of income and increases the nutritious diversity of households’ meals. Distribution of vegetable kits provided will be complemented with trainings, especially focusing on women, so as to maximize the impact of these activities. Trainings will effective crop protection and horticultural production, nutritional diversity, and storing/packaging. Vegetable kits will enable rural households to diversify their agricultural production, and engage women to grow nutritious products, diversify their agricultural production, and also diversify and improve their current food intake and food consumption. It is estimated that approximately 13,440 people will receive both livestock packages and agriculture kits, resulting in 31,360 people assisted by the project without double counting.People In NeedPeople In NeedAfghanistan Humanitarian FundJan SindelarDesk Officer for Afghanistan +93 (0)773340778jan.sindelar@peopleinneed.netLyndsey HandHead of Programmes+93 (0)729005621lyndsey.hand@peopleinneed.netKarolina HalirovaFinance Desk Officer+93 (0)773340778karolina.halirova@peopleinneed.netKlara MickalovaCountry Director +420 604 486 734klara.mickalova@peopleinneed.czWardak34.35134940 68.23853390Food Security691417.19691417.19Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPeople In Need553133.75Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPeople In Need136724.12Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPeople In Need479.38People In NeedUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/INGO/21400United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe population already affected by the conflict between the former government of Afghanistan and the IEA, is now facing the devastating effects of the drought that was proclaimed in June 2021. As the country slowly recovered from the severe drought in 2018 and lingering effects that remained, which were aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict, this second drought in four years is expected to have a significant impact across a large part of the country, on both rain-fed and irrigated agricultural crop production, especially cereal production during the main growing and cultivation season (May to September), and on pasture conditions and livestock health. In addition, the effects of the drought are depleting many already poor and vulnerable households’ financial and asset reserves as they struggle and resort to extremely negative coping strategies, with the poorest and most vulnerable households incurring catastrophic levels of debt. As Badakhshan is a province that relies heavily on rainfed agriculture, its population is particularly vulnerable to drought and more likely to be food insecure. Badakshan is one of the provinces with the highest percentage of population in IPC 3 and 4. For the period November 2021-March 2022, the percentage of the population in IPC 3 and 4 in Badakhshan is expected to be 10% higher than for September-October 2021 (from 55% to 65%). Due to its long-standing presence in Badakhshan, ACTED benefits from a good acceptance in the communities and an experienced team that has been involved in the implementation of many projects, including food security and agriculture interventions. Through this project, ACTED is going to provide crucial livestock and food security assistance through the distribution of livestock packages (made of animal fodder and dewormer) and home gardening inputs. The assistance will target 2,857 vulnerable livestock owner HHs (20,000 individuals) in 3 districts of Badakhshan (1,500 HHs in Kishem, 700 HHs in Tagab and 657 HHs in Shohada districts). ACTED will conduct trainings for all the beneficiaries on livestock health and home gardening techniques. This intervention will enable families to meet their needs in terms of livelihood and food security, giving them a crucial support to mitigate the effect of the drought and economic shock.

Furthermore, prolonged drought and domestic conflicts and clashes over the past two decades have badly affected both the availability and price of food items in national and local markets across the country. Based on the Afghanistan Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) issued in October 2021, Badghis province has been classified as IPC phase 4 (with 30% of population in emergency food insecurity). Jawand district remains a hard-to-reach and underserved area where IRC proposes to implement this intervention. IRC will provide standard packages of food ration for two months to 2,632 needy households (HHs) reaching 2,898 men, 4,042 women, 6,131 boys and 5,352 girls beneficiaries. IRC will provide the food assistance to the target households in line with the Afghanistan Food Security and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC) standard package. The 2,632 HHs (18423 individuals) will be identified from those affected by the current crisis and conflicts of the past two decades, particularly those classified in the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) phases 3 and 4, as well as those in urgent need of food assistance. The project interventions will be implemented in Jawand, which is an underserved and remote district. Each HH will receive a one-off food assistance standard package to meet the food needs of the target families for a period of two months. The beneficiaries will receive in-kind food assistance baskets for a duration of two months to enable them to meet their urgent food needs and avert hunger. This project aims to decrease levels of acute food insecurity by enabling the targeted households to access sufficient and diversified food. In addition, the food assistance will enhance households’ food consumption scores and dietary diversity scores, subsequently decreasing the ratio of malnutrition at the HH level. The proposed target locations for this intervention are distant with a small market in Jawand district, which cannot fully respond to the needs of the population in term of supply of the required food commodities. The food packages planned to be distributed to the target households will be in line with FSAC cluster standards. IRC will continue Master Service Agreement (MPA) with food item suppliers. The food packages will be delivered by supplier to the final destinations where the IRC Emergency Response team will distribute to the selected beneficiaries.

However, because of the high level of conflict during the past months, drought and employment decline, the human suffering level from different aspects of livelihoods are severely increased. According to the recent IPC analysis report, during September and October 2021 (the post-harvest season), nearly 19 million people in Afghanistan experienced high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above), an almost 30% increase from the same season last year (14.5 million people). The main drivers of acute food insecurity include drought and its impacts on crops and livestock, the collapse of public services, a severe economic crisis and increasing food prices. An estimated 6.8 million people in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) and 11.9 million people in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) require urgent action to save their lives, reduce food gaps and protect their livelihoods. For the first time, Sari-e-Pul has also been classified in IPC phase 4 both in project in current. The IPC current classification (September to October period) shows that 55% of people are in IPC phase 3 and above. Looking at various food insecurity driving factors, food security situation deteriorates in Sari-e-Pul in the projection period and % of people in IPC phase 3 above increases to 66%. In Sari-e-Pul, households’ food access during winter will further deteriorate due to: the continuing La Niña climatic episode bringing below-average winter precipitation for the second consecutive year, the impact of high food prices, and growing unemployment. Reduced incomes, lower international and domestic remittances, and continuing obstacles to humanitarian assistance (many related to the financial crisis and limited physical access during the winter period) are expected to contribute to the deterioration of food security in this province. Considering the above mentioned problems and in addition to tackle with the absence of cash in the markets and banks, RRAA preferred to implement this food security project in the form of cash assistance. To assist people during peak wintertime, under this project, RRAA is planning to support 970 HHs (6,790 individuals) (355 HHs in Sar-e-Pul, 235 HHs in Sayad, 200 HHs in Sozma Qala and 180 HHs in Gosfandi districts) who are in IPC phase 3 and 4. These vulnerable people will be assisted with 2 months’ full basket cash assistance. As the FSAC standard food basket value, each beneficiary household will receive 2 round of USD 90 assistance during the course of project. Cash will be transferred to field through Hawala system and by FSP and in total USD 174,600 will be directly injected to 970 HHs beneficiaries and market functionality is ensured in the target communities. Since many years, RRAA has been providing food and livelihoods assistance in Sari-e-Pul in its very well connected to the agencies present in the field and government de facto authorities. The project activities will be implemented in coordination with UNOCHA, WFP and FSAC partners present in the field.

The Afghan government has fallen and the new government structure is not formed yet which has hit the country hard in terms of social, economic, and political aspects. Afghanistan has experienced one of its lethal periods in twenty years, seeing a significant rise in conflict triggered by the withdrawal of foreign forces. The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, published in October 2021, shows that over 22 million people (55% of the population) will face acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or worse) between November 2021 and March 2022, including 8.7 million people in emergency and requiring immediate assistance. According to the IPC analysis, Kunar province is facing emergency level of acute food insecurity. The drought conditions driven by La Niña, the current political crisis and the emereging threat of ISIS in southern region conflict further compound the food security situation of a population which was already on the brink of a hunger crisis. In September and October 2021 (the post-harvest season), nearly 19 million people in Afghanistan experienced high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above), an almost 30% increase from the same season last year (14.5 million people). The main drivers of acute food insecurity include drought and its impacts on crops and livestock, the collapse of public services, a severe economic crisis and increasing food prices. Conflict along with COVID-19, unemployment, drought, and uncertain governance, has led the population of Kunar province to severe food insecurity. The recent rises in food and fuel prices and closure of the banking systems will push these people into further need and stress. APWDO, through this project, will provide cash assistance to 1,503 HHs (10,526 acutely food insecure individuals) in Kunar province to buy food items/commodities. Based on the cluster standards and the allocation strategy paper, every eligible HH will receive USD 180 (Comparable/equal amount of AFA) over a period of 2 months. The proposed assistance will help affected and vulnerable households to meet their immediate and long-term food needs. After the re-start of banking systems, an official digital payment institution will be the financial service provider which will help limit the protection risks to beneficiaries and allowing for remote cash delivery. Accessibility support will be provided for heads of households that are not able to reach the distribution sites. If the banks are still not functional, local Money Service Providers MSP” institution mechanism will be used. To ensure security and accountability and for remote top-up, APWDO’s first step will be to propose a digital app where the beneficiary households will have their accounts registered to receive two months of cash where the households will receive notifications about their cash deposit to their accounts who can later withdraw the amount from banks. This may be delivered through the local banks. If this modality doesn’t work (as banks lack enough money) the next step is to deliver the cash through local Money Service Providers MSP” institution.. The proposed project harnesses the current functionality of markets in Kunar, but through regular market assessments prior to distribution, APWDO will ensure the relevance of the model and adjust accordingly if necessary. The market assessment results will feed into the CVWG-supported JMMI. After cash distributions, Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM) will be conducted to assess the impact of the support and identify areas for better delivery protocols in the future.

The prices are going up day by day and income for people are decreasing, thus the food security of the households is negatively affected. A total of 22.8 million people in Afghanistan are projected to face high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC phase 3 or above) during November 2021 to March 2022 compared to 18.8 million during the previous period of September-October 2021. During the previous season 25 out of the 34 provinces of Afghanistan were affected by severe drought and it is anticipated that precipitation below average over the next winter season could continue to negatively impact food production and food access in the rain-fed agriculture zones in 2022. Increased conflicts during the 3rd quarter of the 2021 has caused displacement and has disrupted the livelihoods system. The finding of an assessment conducted in November 2021, shows that the average FCS score in Charbloak district is 21 while it is 22 in Chemtal district both falling in the poor category of FCS. In line with HRP 2021 strategic objective 1 (Save lives in areas of highest needs) and FSAC priorities, through this project, HIHAO will provide unconditional and unrestricted cash assistance to 1,830 households (12,810 individuals) who are in the IPC phase 3 and 4 as per the November 2021 – March 2022 IPC acute food insecurity analysis to procure food baskets. The project will be implemented in Charbolak and Chemtal districts of Balkh province over five months. In Charbolak district 6,650 individuals (950 HHs) will receive cash for provision of food and in Chemtal 6,160 individuals (880 HHs) will received support. The total amount of cash to be assisted is US$ 329,400 funded by OCHA/AHF. Each household with an average of seven members will receive an amount of equivalent to US$ 90 per month for two months in Afghan currency. It is based on the cluster standard for food basket which is calculated considering the recent market price data to provide 2,100Kcal per person per day. In order to mobilize and select eligible households, HIHAO will conduct a baseline assessment to determine the Food Consumption Score (FCS) of the households and those with the minimum score will be selected in the project Cash assistance has been envisaged as unconditional and unrestricted. The decision has been based on findings of a needs assessment conducted during November in both Charbolak and chemtal districts identifying that food is the priority need. Moreover, cash has been identified by 72% of respondents as the preferred assistance modality and markets have been identified as accessible and safe. The findings of the market assessment conducted by HIHAO indicates that market in both Charboak and Chemtal are accessible by both men and women and food items are available in the district market in sufficient quantities. Considering the current status of financial institutions and the limitations they are facing in terms of cash transfers and withdrawals, cash assistance will be carried out through the Hawala system, identified as the most viable and widely spread solution. HIHAO is also considering the alternative in-kind provision of food baskets in case any challenges arise for transfer of funds to the target participants which will be discusses with AHF and FSAC before any action is taken.

The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, published in October 2021, shows that over 22 million people (55% of the population) will face acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or worse) between November 2021 and March 2022, including 8.7 million people in emergency and requiring immediate assistance. According to the IPC analysis, Nangarhar province is facing emergency level of acute food insecurity. The drought conditions driven by La Niña, the current political crisis and conflict further compound the food security situation of a population which was already on the brink of a hunger crisis. Assessments of CAHPO conducted Jul-Aug show that even after harvest, 57 percent of households do not have food reserves that would last for 3 months. In urban areas, income loss (driven by economic shocks) has contributed to the rapid deterioration in food insecurity. 10 out of 11 most densely populated urban areas are anticipated to be in IPC 4. Additionally, the higher food prices are negatively impacting the purchasing power of lower-income groups across the country, reducing their access to food. Though the recent change of power and tangible reduction of conflict, the people stay displaced. As per MoRR they still have insufficient income due to several reasons (prolonged conflict in the past, COVID-19, drought, and unemployment) and impacts on livelihood activities, the majority of poor both urban and rural households are expected to be unable to meet all essential food needs. The combination of past conflict, drought as well as Covid-19, has led to 35% of the population in urban Nangarhar being classified as IPC 3 or above by the FSAC Cluster. Through the proposed project CAHPO will provide unconditional cash assistance to 1,865 households (13,053 individuals) in Surkhrod and Kama districts of Nangarhar province to buy food items/commodities. Cash distribution in 2 installments each USD 90 to cover 100% of the minimum food basket for 4 months chosen in consultation with FSAC Cluster. 1st installment after the beneficiary selection in the end of first month and 2nd installment on the 3rd month. The provision will be in two installments in order to be most cost-effective and to avoid the distributions barriers. Money Service Provider(MSP) or Hawala that will be contracted by CAHPO to facilitate the distribution at CAHPO office. The usual distribution point will have proven access to work well for all beneficiaries to be able to travel easily. Because of the new government issues with banking system, the Hawala that will be contracted by CAHPO to facilitate the cash distribution for food items at the distribution point will select by CAHPO in consultation with beneficiaries. The usual distribution point will have proven access to work well for all beneficiaries to be able to travel easily. The distribution will be done based on the signed lists and tokens issued to the selected beneficiaries by the Beneficiary Selection Committee (BSC) through the Hawala. The monitoring staff will collect the phone numbers of the beneficiaries to contact them for cash for food distribution. Beneficiaries should have NIDs or other certifications to check their identity correctly. Beneficiaries who have no NID will distribute verification cards by BSC. Information will be monitored frequently that will not affect by assumption and shared with stakeholders regarding the required food items they will receive. CAHPO team has the experience to conduct awareness training on Protection and COVID-19 separate for male/female, support with hygiene kits according to WHO guide. Nangarhar has a market area with many food suppliers and many Hawalas that make it easy to contract Hawalas to prepare the required cash for food items for beneficiaries.

Moreover, the poverty rate could increase by 25 percent as result of the contraction of Afghanistan real GDPs. The prolonged conflict, drought, political upheaval and COVID-19 could cause Afghanistan’s poverty rate to soar of 97% by mid-2022 (UNDP, 2021). Approximately 664,200 people have been displaced from January, 2021 to September, 2021 because of the escalated conflict and livelihood factors. Particularly, Kunar Province is facing as well the highest number of IDPs and returnees. Around 166,716 IDPs and 113,790 returnees reported in 2012-2020 (IOM-DTM, 2020). Based on the Integrity Food Security Phase Classification-IPC 3+ (October, 2021), 18.8 million people (47% population) is currently facing high level of acute food insecurity. Thus, it is projected to increase the number to 22.8 (55% population) of affected people in November, 2021 to March, 2022.According to the IPC analysis, Kunar province is facing emergency level of acute food insecurity. The drought conditions driven by La Niña, the current political crisis and conflict further compound the food security situation of a population which was already on the brink of a hunger crisis. To reach to most vulnerable HHs, AABRAR has devised a lifesaving project that will be executed in 2 districts of Kunar Province namely Shigal and Watapur Correspondingly, the targeted districts for food packages is due to the vulnerability of IDPs, returnees, and the most vulnerable host communities. Furthermore, the recent shocks of conflicts, COVID-19, economic crises, recurrent natural disasters and government transition have resulted weakness in the purchase power and economy of the residents of Kunar. The anticipated increase in food insecurity shows that the targeted province will move to (IPC Phase 4) in period of November, 2021 to March, 2022. In this critical situation, AABRAR will save lives of 1,504 HHs (10,528 individuals) thru providing the assistance of cash for food in targeted areas. AABRAR assessment team along with DoRR and ANDMA and other stakeholders will select the HHs in the targeted districts based on the vulnerability through proper selection mechanism of FSAC priorities. In line with FSAC Cluster priorities, cash for food packages to 1,504 HHs (10,528 individuals) in 2 targeted districts of Kunar Province will be provided. To break down it more comprehensively 752 HHs (5,264 individuals) in Shigal, 752 HHs (5,264 individuals) in Watapur, will receive in-cash assistance for foods. In addition, each HHs will receive a standard FSAC Cluster cash for food package of ($ 180 in 2 installments in 2 months ). Likewise, AABRAR team will deliver proper awareness sessions to HHs for using the cash for food assistance by following on PDM. The assistance of cash for food will be provided to those HHs who sustain their lives by daily income and are now massively affected by recent conflicts, drought, recurrent natural disasters and COVID-19. Moreover, the target beneficiaries from IDPs, returnees and vulnerable host communities for proposed project will be based on the criteria as: female HHs, PLWs, PwDs, HHs with large family size (having more than 7 persons or large number of female members), elderly aged HHs, and chronically ill HHs. Besides this, the finalized list of beneficiaries will be shared with relevant stakeholders in order to endorse selected HHs and to resolve any dispute. This will help AABRAR to enable support and raise awareness about the selection process and will enlighten members of community that how to complain and report any potential issue. The process of reporting, sharing and monitoring will continue and conclusion of project will come when 1,504 HHs received cash assistance for food.Afghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundDr. Abdul BaseerExecutive Director0093 (0) 775558885abdulbaseer@aabrar.org.afAdil KhanProject Manager0093 (0) 772076141adilmaftoon@aabrar.org.afZahid KhanFinance Officer0093 (0) 789327222zahidsadiq17@gmail.comKunar34.84658930 71.09731700Food Security396316.02396316.02Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation198158.01Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation198158.01Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/NGO/20817United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAccording to conflict induced displacement figures from 1 Jan 2021 to 18 Oct 2021, 667,938 individuals fled their homes due to conflict. A total of 34,704 out of 667,938 IDPS recorded in Kunar Province. Constrained humanitarian access hinders assessments, thus preventing verification of the full extent of displacement and undermining the provision of assistance and services. Displacement affects all individuals differently with needs, vulnerabilities and protection risks evolving over time due to exhaustion of coping mechanisms and only basic emergency assistance provided following initial displacement. food insecurity, often result in precarious living conditions that jeopardizes the well-being and dignity of affected families. As per the OCHA report a total of 14,217 people were displaced to Narang, Sarkani, Asadabad, Shegal, Nurgal, and Chawkay districts in Kunar province. The A La Niña drought in 2021 impacted food production and planting seasons in Kunar. Economic decline due to political transition and the consequent freezing in national assets, the economy crashed. The banking system suffered severe disruption, and the national currency lost 12.5% of value, leading to high unemployment and food prices. According to SFSA 2021, 83% of Kunar agricultural HHs reported reduction in this year’s harvest. With the recent climate outlook and weak to moderate La Niña event, it is highly likely that lower than average precipitation and poor soil moisture conditions will result in consecutive drought in 2022. Already 50% of the households already using emergency coping strategies which will further deteriorate during winter lean season. The latest IPC analysis published in Oct 2021, shows that over 22 million people (55% of the population) will face acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or worse) between Nove 2021 and Mar 2022, including 8.7 million people in emergency and requiring immediate assistance. According to the IPC analysis, Kunar province is facing emergency level of acute food insecurity. The drought conditions driven by La Niña, the current political crisis and conflict further compound the food security situation of a population which was already on the brink of a hunger crisis. This project focuses on Theme1: Expanded humanitarian access and response in underserved and hardest-to-reach locations Activity 1: Food assistance for IPC Phase 3 amp 4 people–cash or in-kind (Theme1) i.e. OCHR will ensure timely provision of (in-kind) food assistance for 1460 HHs in Narang (730 HHs) and Sarkani (730 HHs) districts to meet the immediate needs of people in Kunar province. This is considered as a complimentary involvement to OCHR’s ongoing interventions providing 1528 HHs with Food, WASH, Livelihood and COVID-19 support to most vulnerable communities in east region (Kunar and Nangarhar) funded by Christian-Aid, UNDP and GNI-A. OCHR has planned to upgrade its current activities and will select the targeted beneficiaries in a transparent manner as we have already visualized the most at risk/venerable HHs recently. And to ensure that the most affected receive the assistance. The FSAC beneficiary selection and vulnerability criteria will be ensured in the presence of the community elders, local authorities and UNOCHA representatives, while selecting beneficiaries,. The project duration will be 6 months. Having the experience of implementing various emergency response projects in the region, and knowledge in technical and managerial issues will give an extra advantage to OCHR in implementing this project. OCHR rolled out three similar ongoing project from GNI/UNDP in Kunar province providing Emergency Food, Nutrition and WASH packages to 2100 HHs recently completed. And OCHR is currently implementing two similar ongoing projects in Kunar/Nangarhar funded by UNDP, GNI and Christian Aid providing FSAC,ES/NFI, CDP and WASH emergency responses to 3156 HHs in the targeted areas respectively.

The project will initially cover 70% IDPs, 20% returnees and 10% host community households to ensure a community based approach. 250 multiple shock-affected households in Kahmard district, 300 multiple shock-affected households in Saighan district and 500 multiple shock-affected households in Shibar district will receive the standard in-kind monthly food package of FSAC (46 Kg flour wheat, 8.4 Kg pulses, 4.5 Kg Vegetable Oil and 1 Kg Iodized Salt) for 4 months in 2 distribution cycles. As an active member of OCTs and other coordination forums in central highland provinces including Bamyan province, WSTA will closely coordinate the assessment/beneficiary selection, distribution and other activities of the project with new government, UN agencies, INGOs, NNGOs and other stakeholders to avoid duplication in response, and to address transparency and accountability within the overall process. The cluster recommended tools will be used for data collection, analysis and reporting while we will put additional tools to collect more segregated data as per Age, Gender and Diversity (AGD) approach. Women headed households, child headed households, elderly headed households, survivors of GBV and other protection incidents will be prioritized for the assistance if the needs were higher than the available resources. We will closely work with government line departments, beneficiary representatives and other stakeholders to identify and select our distribution points in target province/districts, which shall be safe and accessible for men, women, children, elderly and persons with disability with enough facilitation in place. The COVID-19 protocols will be strictly applied throughout the implementation process to ensure safety of our staff, beneficiaries and stakeholders. Project visibility, reporting to cluster, AHF and government will be properly managed as per the requirements of each party. We will use the services of AWAAZ Afghanistan and our internal hotline number to register the complaints, and will ensure that the target communities receive our complaint leaflets during the assessments and distribution. We will also help desk at community level and during the distribution process to ensure the beneficiaries/affected population of concern can register their complaints and raise their concerns. With the support of OCT members and other humanitarian actors at provincial level, we will form a distribution committee to avoid duplication and to further address transparency and accountability within the distribution process. Our MampE and Project Control units will regularly monitor, evaluate and verify the project activities to improve the quality of our work, exercising a comprehensive lessons learned, and to address compliance. In the end phase, we will conduct a post distribution monitoring exercise to monitor and evaluate the impact of assistance on lives of our beneficiaries as per Age, Gender and Diversity and to ensure that the assistance are delivered in a transparent and accountable manner to target population of concern in compliance with the project requirements.

Droughts, collapse of Afghanistan government by Taliban, and freezing Afghanistan’s asset by the U.S have hit the Afghan population hard. According to a report of UNDP stating “According to the appraisal, this combination of factors could cause the baseline poverty rate, now at 72 percent “ and as well as this report expresses that 97 percent of the population is at risk of sinking below the poverty line. Likewise, The IPC has also highlighted the unprecedented food insecurity crisis in Afghanistan. Recent IPC report has stated, “Afghanistan’s food crisis reaches unprecedented levels as nearly 19 million people are highly food insecure due to prolonged drought, conflict and economic collapse.” This report has further highlighted that 55% of the population has faced acute level of food insecurity. Economic decline, conflict, and drought has been the major drivers of this crisis. These driving factors have affected the population of Wardak province too indicates that the Wardak province is in the IPC-phase4.In reference to the 2021 AHF 1st Standard Allocation and to the HRP 2021 Strategic Objective 1 (SO1): Lives are saved in the areas of highest need, STARS will target two districts- Jaghatoo and Dai Mirdad of Wardak province, which suffered more due to severe drought and disasters, with a particular target group of those families headed by women or disabled citizens. The proposed project will directly benefit 1,842 households, of which 12894 direct beneficiaries will be reached out. STARS will undertake a rapid household survey on community level to identify the target households. STARS will provide food assistance in form of cash to cover food needs of most vulnerable and affected food insecure households in the target area through cash transfer modality. The proposed project will cover 12,894 individuals, 7,926 in Jaghatoo and 4,868 individuals in Day Mirdad districts. The beneficiary’s breakdown has been calculated based on the provincial statistics and households’ data. The assistance will be distributed in two rounds, where each household will receive 90 USD full food package twice. This assistance will help the IPC Phase 4 located households secure their minimum food security packages for at least three months. STARS presence in Wardak Province has been for so long. Based on World Bank report " Prices for basic household goods, including food and fuel, increased substantially". Our information from the local market indicates that local markets are functional across the provinces, food items are available in local markets and the report of World Bank for prices increase is the ground fact. therefore, the food assistance in form of cash is the most appropriate model in emergency situations. The cash assistance is preferred because it will bring the local markets into motion and will purchase those food items that they really need. Immediate cash transfer is monetary assistance and will be in form of physical cash to targeted households that enables direct access to food from marketplace. Beneficiaries will receive life-saving assistance in form of cash in twice, as there is a risk of purchasing other items if distributed in one distribution. STARS will be distributing the cash for food in two rounds. In each round 90USD will be given to every household, STARS will use HAWALA system as Banking system imposed limitations. A spot-check at the end of survey for identification of beneficiaries will be conducted to ensure accountability and transparency. STARS monitoring team will be present in the sites while the cash is distributed. STARS will encourage the target households to purchase their food items in the local markets to ensure the market in local areas is boosted.

The targeted areas are Deh-Yak and Andar districts of Ghazni province jointly identified with FSAC as most vulnerable and highly food insecure areas in the province. The project targets 13160 persons including children, women, PWDs, elderly, women headed families to secure their immediate food needs for two months through cash for food programming and the total number of targeted households are 1880 Hhs who might be equally covered in the two targeted districts in close coordination of WFP specifically at household and village level to avoid duplication in assistance and bring complementation to the early started WFP operation across all districts of Ghazni province. AREP will facilitate the project following the below phases (1)- Community Mobilization/sensitization and beneficiary’s selection. (2)- Market Assessment (3)- Cash distribution (4)- Post Distribution Monitoring. Selected households will receive the FSA cluster standard of AFN cash equivalent of two months of complete food basket 90 USD a month, totaling 180 USD for two months, totally 1880 household will receive the assistance. The transfers will be made through a contracted Hawala, depending on on the rate of recovery of the banking sector. The cash assistance will be unconditional and unrestricted. Given the uncertainty of the context, and the scale of the need, this modality is deemed to be most effective and efficient at this time and provide recipients with greater agency in how they use their assistance to support their food security. Distribution will take place on sites accessible to all beneficiaries, including those with access challenges. Specific distribution points and/or times will be organized for women to ensure they have safe and culturally sensitive access to the support. So far AREP has assurance of acceptance of women project staff involvement in implementation. However, the situation is fluid and the humanitarian community, including AREP, is taking an iterative approach to ascertain the impact of IEA rule of law on engagement and protection of women in their receipt of humanitarian assistance. AREPs senior management will engage with UNOCHA and other actors to ensure women’s engagement in the project, maintaining the JOPs and Engagement Strategy, up to a point where it does not cause harm. Distribution will be conducted under observance of Covid-19 distribution protocols established by AREP and recognized by the humanitarian community, including the distribution and use of facemasks, hand washing facilities provided, limited sizes of groups and enforced social distancing. AREP has also developed a package MOPH approved Covid-19 precaution and prevention communication materials, that are aligned to RCCE standards. These will be rolled out during this project and the dedicated Community Health Worker will lead small and socially distanced dialogues with communities and beneficiaries. To minimize protection risks, supported households will be informed of the location, day and time of the distribution a day before. Where protection risks are greater, such as in the case of child headed households or mobility is lower such as in the case of elderly-headed households or beneficiaries with disabilities. AREP has been a leading humanitarian responder for crises and development interventions since 1996 and have been served many Afghan communities of similar vulnerability throughout the country. Currently AREP is implementing three emergency projects, one in Ghazni funded by Unicef and two in Paktia province, funded by FAO through FSAC.

The main drivers of acute food insecurity include drought and its impacts on crops and livestock, the collapse of public services, a severe economic crisis and increasing food prices. An estimated 6.8 million people in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) and 11.9 million people in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) require urgent action to save their lives, reduce food gaps and protect their livelihoods. In the current period, corresponding to the 2021 post-harvest season in the country, 18.8 million people (47% of the population) are estimated to be experiencing high levels of food insecurity in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis) and Phase 4 (Emergency). This includes 6.8 million (17% of the total population) classified in Emergency nationwide and 11.9 million (30%) in Crisis. Of the 45 geographical areas analysed (34 rural and 11 urban analytical domains), 16 rural areas (Badakshan, Badghis, Balkh, Bamyan, Daikundi, Faryab, Ghazni, Ghor, Hirat, Jawzjan, Kabul, Laghman, Nuristan, Samangan, Sar-i-Pul and Uruzgan) and five urban areas (Baghlan, Balkh, Faryab, Hirat and Kunduz) were classified in Emergency (IPC Phase 4), 24 areas in Crisis (IPC Phase 3), and none of the areas were classified in Stressed (Phase 2) or Minimal (Phase 1). Apart from that Bamyan province is one of the most remote and central highland in Afghanistan where there are high needs of the food, in IPC Phase 3 and 4 30% of the populations are in high needs of acute food. In line with Food Security Agriculture Cluster (FSAC) priorities, OHW and its well organized and professional team will provide 1,128 HHs (7,896 individuals) in Bamyan Province with in-cash assistance (value of 180 USD distributed for the equivalent local currency in AFN at project start) aimed at meeting household food needs for a duration of 4 months, as per cluster standards. The cash assistance will be distributed in two installments along a period of 4 months. Cash assistance has been envisaged as unconditional and unrestricted. The decision has been based on results from needs assessment and identification of food as the main household priority. Moreover, cash has been identified by target populations as the preferred assistance modality and markets have been assessed as accessible and safe for both male and female. Findings from winterization assistance PDM among the same communities point out how distribution in installments is the preferred modality, allowing households to plan for their expenditures. Furthermore, cash assistance will be carried out through the Hawala system, identified as the most viable and widely spread solution by OHWs’ Feasibility Study. The present response priorities are in line with OHW past experience and capability, and represent a scale up of relief and winterization emergency activities in the target area. OHWs’ recent interventions put an emphasis on livelihood enhancement with a focus on natural resources utilization, youth mobilization, WASH and shelter repairs and women empowerment fostering income generating activities. Thus, the action aims at enlarging OHWs’ reach by supporting vulnerable households in dire food insecurity with cash assistance.ORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFAREORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFAREAfghanistan Humanitarian FundGhulam Sakhi GulanCountry Director0728530102gsakhi@ohw.org.afAhmad Nasir EshaqzaiHead of Program0728176040program.manager1@ohw.org.afShahabuddin HamdardHead of Finance/ Operation0728530107shamdard@ohw.org.afBamyan34.90732960 67.18944880Food Security267496.36267496.36Afghanistan Humanitarian FundORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFARE133748.18Afghanistan Humanitarian FundORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFARE133748.18Afghanistan Humanitarian FundORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFAREXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/NGO/20967United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, published in October 2021, shows that over 22 million people (55% of the population) will face acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or worse) between November 2021 and March 2022, including 8.7 million people in emergency and requiring immediate assistance. According to the IPC analysis, Laghman province is facing emergency level of acute food insecurity. The drought conditions driven by La Niña, the current political crisis and conflict further compound the food security situation of a population which was already on the brink of a hunger crisis. As per the AHF 1st SA strategy paper, even after harvest, 57 percent of households do not have food reserves that would last for 3 months. In urban areas, income loss (driven by economic shocks) has contributed to the rapid deterioration in food insecurity. 10 out of 11 most densely populated urban areas are anticipated to be in IPC 4. Additionally, the higher food prices are negatively impacting the purchasing power of lower-income groups across the country, reducing their access to food. Through the proposed project, AWRO will provide in-kind food assistance to 1,880 shock-affected HHs (13,158 individuals – based on average family size of 7) in Qarghayi and Dawlat Shah districts of Laghman province classified in ‘crisis’ (IPC Phase 3) and ‘emergency’ (IPC Phase 4) food insecure, and those anticipated to be affected by flood, dry spell and other risks, as per the IPC analysis 2021. Based on the FSAC cluster standards and the allocation strategy paper, every eligible HH will receive in-kind food basket packages for two months. The in-kind food provided will help the families have food for their families during the tough situations. This will make sure the vulnerable households have acceptable food consumption score. 1. Qarghayi district 6,999 individuals in 1,000 multiple shock-affected HHs (1,504 Men, 1,891 Women, 1,699 Boys and 1,905 Girls) 2.

Right after the IEA took control of the entire country, ordinary people have lost their income sources, partly due lack of circulation of cash, partly due to lack of support by international community. In the absence of employment, weak labor force market, weaker purchasing power, most of the communities have started to either consume or sell their surplus commodity including their assets. This situation severely affected the target population in Balkh province, partly due to drought and partly due to continued armed clashes before 15 August and combined with the economic shocks in the country. The interventions will therefore, support the farmers both male and female to support them through livelihood packages so that they can support their families as well as to sell the surplus in the local market so that the project could contribute to the supply of chain in the province. The interventions will take place in Balkh province, The project objective is Livelihood support through Home Gardening Trainings to affected people in Balkh.

The strategic objectives of the HRP focus on "lives are saved in the areas of highest needs." The multiple challenges facing the people of Afghanistan in spring 2021, including La Niña-induced climatic anomalies, intensifying conflict, new and protracted internal displacement, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, are exacerbating the pre-existing needs and vulnerabilities of millions of Afghans already dealing with the consequences of 40 years of war. The main purpose of the AHF 1st Standard Allocation 2021 is to provide urgently needed funds for strictly prioritized life-saving humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan. The initially approved total value of this allocation is US$105 million including a specific allocation to national non-governmental organizations (NGO) of US$5 million. As of September, and October 2021, 19 million people are facing a crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC 3 and 4). Assessments denote that even after harvest, 57 percent of households do not have food reserves that would last for 3 months. In urban areas, income loss (driven by economic shocks) has contributed to the rapid deterioration in food insecurity. 10 out of 11 most densely populated urban areas are anticipated to be in IPC 4. Additionally, the higher food prices are negatively impacting the purchasing power of lower-income groups across the country, reducing their access to food. ORD intends to provide Livestock Protection Package (animal feed and deworming) and Vegetable Kit in the Daykundi province (Nili), which is in the 25 priority provinces for 2021. ORD has had a strong presence and has delivered emergency responses. Currently, ORD is delivering cash for food assistance in the partnership of NCA. The AHF 1st Standard Allocation 2021 fund will scale up and fill the ORD's current response gap, be holistic, and become a multi-cluster response to the vulnerable population due to the aftermath of conflict and the current drought. ORD will ensure that the most vulnerable people (whose vulnerability score is greater than six, the criteria for both Livestock Protection Package and Vegetable Kit is incorporated in FSAC standard profile survey tool) in need are among the affected population groups prioritized for this action and 2,430 HHs (17,010 individuals) following FSAC cluster standards for drought and conflict-affected people to respond to their livestock and livelihood support to vulnerable farmers. ORD will closely coordinate with the regional FSAC cluster, UNOCHA/AHF, and other partners for the identification of target communities and groups to avoid duplication. ORD project team will establish Beneficiary Selection Committees (BSCs) that will conduct a door-to-door assessment using the vulnerability assessment tool. In addition, ORD will provide this response in kind due to Livestock Package (animal feed and deworming) and Vegetable Kit Standard item unavailability and market dysfunctionality. The beneficiary selection will be carried out using certain structured questionnaire/scorecard tools, which are usually being shared by the FSAC for each modality. in case it is not available, ORD will develop a questionnaire and will coordinate it with the cluster and after their approval, we will use that tool for assessment and beneficiary selection. For the distribution of the Livestock and Vegetable Kit, ORD will provide a unique identification card to each eligible recipient, and in order to prevent any delay or problem in distribution, we will authorize an alternative person to receive the assistance. Furthermore, the project team will carry out PDM, and ORD MEAL will perform additional verification by phone and as well share the beneficiary profile with AWAAZ Afghanistan for further accountability.

The recently updated Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis shows the food security situation has further deteriorated with worrying implications for the winter lean season ahead. An estimated 22.8 million people, or 55 percent of the population, are expected to be in crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC 3+) between November 2021 and March 2022 (AHF Allocation Strategy). The targeted province, Nangarhar, is considered to be in the IPC 3 and 4, in an emergency situation (IPC Analysis) and FSAC has categorized the province as at a high priority due to the number of people in need and the multiple needs to be met. Afghanistan is highly prone to natural hazards, such as floods and droughts that have badly impacted farmers’ production capacity and livelihoods sustainability. The estimated population of Nangarhar is 1,896,240. According to IPC acute food insecurity analysis (November 2021-March 2022), 35% of the population is under IPC3 and 25% is under IPC4 situation in Nangarhar Province. Also, the total population under IPC3+ is 1,137,744 (60%). The estimated population of Chaparhar district is 68,347. The reports show, that the Chaparhar district faced dry weather, a lack of irrigation water, and has no cultivated wheat on most of the lands as well as facing drought. Furthermore, drought has not only affected wheat crops but most orchards, agricultural crops, and animal husbandry. Also, formers avoided the cultivation of wheat and other crops on rain-fed land due to lack of rainfall. The estimated population of Rodat district is 110,000. The reports show, that the Rodat district faced dry weather, a lack of irrigation water, and has no cultivated wheat on most of the lands as well as facing drought. Furthermore, drought has not only affected wheat crops but most orchards, agricultural crops, and animal husbandry. Also, formers avoided the cultivation of wheat and other crops on rain-fed land due to lack of rainfall. The Nangarhar Agriculture Department acknowledged the problems faced by farmers in Chaparhar and Rodat districts of Nangarhar Province due to drought. To respond to the above situation, RRAA, as part of the proposed project, will provide livelihood support to 7,140 affected people, as follow: - distribution of livestock packages (Animal Feed, Straw, de-wormer, and transport) to 7,140 beneficiaries in line with FSAC guidelines. - distribution of vegetable seeds and home-based kitchen gardening kits includes a minimum of 4 different types of vegetable seeds (Cucumber, Okra, Gourd, and Bitter Gourd) and a basic toolkit (spade, rake, hoe). The project activities will be implemented in coordination with UNOCHA and FSAC partners present in the field. Also, RRAA will conduct social mobilization in coordination with targeted communities, CDCs and Shura elders, and relevant local sectoral authorities to ensure that the most vulnerable drought-affected population is identified and selected. RRAA will select a safe distribution point in coordination with the target beneficiaries and will ensure that the day, time, and location for the distribution of food packages are accessible and easy to reach. RRAA will also ensure that measures are in place for the safe and non-discriminatory distribution of the packages. In addition, RRAA’s field staff will add to the knowledge, skills, and experience of the beneficiaries through on-the-spot brief hands-on demo training prior to the distribution of packages so that the beneficiaries appropriately utilize the distributed items.

An estimated 22.8 million people, or 55 percent of the population, are expected to be in crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC 3+) between November 2021 and March 2022, a nearly 35 percent increase from the same season last year (16.9m). 9 million people are projected to be in IPC 4 – the highest number ever recorded in Afghanistan. In rural areas, this is largely driven by the drought. According to the SFSA 2021, while trends of increased food insecurity have been regularly observed during the lean season and winter period in Afghanistan, Afghan communities significantly reduced their resilience even prior to the beginning of the lean season. Daikundi has been classified in IPC phase 4 for many consecutive years since the level of food insecurity is too high in this province. According to the IPC analysis conducted in October 2021, 65% of people in this province are either in crisis or emergency (IPC Phase 3 and 4) situation. SFSA 2021 data also show a worrying food security situation in Daikundi. According to this assessment, nearly 87% of people have either poor or borderline food consumption and only 13% of people have acceptable food consumption. In terms of HHDS, 73% of people consume only less than 4 types of food. To cope with the food consumption gap, 14% of people are resorting to emergency livelihood copping and 54% crisis coping strategies. According to the SFSA data, cereal stock for 87% of people lasts only less than 3 months. This means that during the lean season, all of these people are running out of food stock, and they need urgent food or cash assistance. Considering the high level of need, VOPOFA will support 12,250 individuals (1,750 households) in the Kiti and Kijran districts of Daikundi province with food assistance through unconditional cash distributions. VOPOFA will support this vulnerable food insecure households with 2 months' full ration cash for food assistance. This project focuses on 2 districts of Daikundi which have remained underserved for the past many years since very few national and international organizations worked there. The distribution will happen in two rounds/installments and beneficiaries will receive $80 (AFN equivalent) in each round of distribution as per the FSAC updated response packages guideline. The proposed cash basket provides 2,100 Kcal energy for one month for a household of 7 members. Cash is selected as the most effective and efficient modality for delivering the response to vulnerable households because the markets are functional in both districts of Kiti and Kijran. Food commodities included in the FSAC standard food basket are also available in the local markets. Based on the VOPOFA’s long experience in both districts, beneficiaries also prefer cash as the proper modality of assistance. On one hand, cash will enable households to meet their food consumption gap, and on the other hand, as a multiplier effect, cash will stimulate the local economy and market and will have its medium to long term impact on the livelihoods of people in the targeted areas. VOPOFA worked with various FSPs who successfully transferred money to various districts of Daikundi province. VOPOFA will select the right FSP based on their competitiveness, financial capacity, and presence in the area of operation. VOPOFA will ensure the FSP holds a valid license to perform financial services. Given the operational context, the best type of FSP is Hawala. Mobile ownership is so limited due to poor/limited network coverage, so mobile money is not possible. Additionally, private banks do not operate in Daikundi, especially in the remote targeted districts. Given the VOPOFA’s longstanding experience in the targeted areas, Hawala is the most convenient and efficient modality for cash transfer.Village of Peace Organization for AfghansVillage of Peace Organization for AfghansAfghanistan Humanitarian FundMohammad Ali HassaniProgram Coordinator +93 (0) 775107155me.coordinator@vopofa.orgDaykundi33.66949500 66.04635340Food Security426194.51426194.51Afghanistan Humanitarian FundVillage of Peace Organization for Afghans213097.26Afghanistan Humanitarian FundVillage of Peace Organization for Afghans213097.25Afghanistan Humanitarian FundVillage of Peace Organization for AfghansXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/NGO/21399United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAccording to the IPC analysis report published in October 2021, 22.8 million people are facing crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC 3 and 4). More than half of all children under-five face acute malnutrition in 2021. SFSA 2021 data shows that 57 per cent of households have food reserves that would last for only less than 3 months. In urban areas, income loss (driven by economic shocks) has contributed to the rapid deterioration in food insecurity. 10 out of 11 most densely populated urban areas are anticipated to be in IPC 4. Additionally, the higher food prices are negatively impacting the purchasing power of lower-income groups across the country, reducing their access to food. As per the Afghanistan Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) 2022, out of the total 664,000 population of the Kunar province, 237,000 are identified in “Severe”, and 135,000 in “Extreme” severity phase with urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Post-August, as direct conflict declined, the main drivers of humanitarian needs affecting physical and mental well-being are the lack of adequate food and livelihoods means, driving millions into crisis. t is likely that household food access between the end of winter and the following spring season will further deteriorate due to the continuing La Niña climatic episode bringing below-average winter precipitation for the second consecutive year, the impact of high food prices, sanctions on the de facto authorities, growing unemployment and possibly increased displacement. An estimated 8.7 million people in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) and 14 million people in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) require urgent action to save their lives, reduce food gaps and protect their livelihoods. Almost all the SFSA 2021 outcome indicators confirmed that the food security situation has severely deteriorated. 92 per cent of farmers reported a lack of seeds for the next planting. As a key food insecurity driver in urban areas, income has reduced for 97 per cent of households in 11 main urban domains. Furthermore, FAO collected additional data during August and September 2021 using a household survey to assess impact of multiple shocks on rural livelihoods. The survey highlights that while conflict has affected 40 per cent of households analyzed, the most-frequently reported shocks by rural households were drought and soaring food prices. As the conflict in the country was unfolding, Afghan farmers and livestock keepers were already suffering from the impacts of a drought and intensified conflict that hit the country during the main 2020-21 agricultural season – between June and August, 40 per cent of the farming households in the country faced disaster or crisis affecting their ability to raise income and/or to produce food for their own consumption. Through the proposed project, AWRO will provide Vegetable Kits and Livestock Packages to 1,600 shock-affected HHs (11,200 individuals – based on average family size of 7) in Assad Abad and Sirkani districts of Kunar province . The provision of the mentioned kits will aid in the food security of the target households through increasing livestock products, the families will also have access to fresh vegetables. The training workshops will make sure they are determined to continue growing seasonal crops within their households with proper and effective practices. Through this project, 6300 individuals (900 multiple shock-affected HHs) in Assad district and 4,900 individuals (700 multiple shock-affected HHs) in Sirkani district of Kunar will receive vegetable kits and livestock packages. FSAC’s livestock and vegetable packages will be used for assisting vulnerable households under this project.

Forty years of war, recurrent natural disasters, chronic poverty, drought and the COVID-19 pandemic have left more than 23 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. While all population groups across the country have been impacted, the consequences for women and girls have been most immediately felt. Humanitarian needs in Afghanistan were already some of the largest in the world. Now the situation is rapidly worsening by every measure. 22.8 million IPC phase 3 and 4 people in Afghanistan require humanitarian assistance. As per FSAC/FAO climate data, most of the country received below-average precipitation. Several provinces in the north, northeast, west, south, and east experienced precipitation deficits during the wet season this year. Wheat cultivation and production, especially in rain-fed areas, is directly dependent upon adequate and timely precipitation. Looking at the precipitation level and remote sensing data collected, it is estimated that the pasture condition will be below average and livestock owners will face significant challenges in feeding their livestock. To support the most vulnerable livestock owners, AABRAR is aiming to support 1,350 HHs (9,450 individuals) through provision of livestock packages (animal feed, de-wormer) and vegetable packages (home gardening). The IPC phase 3 and 4 food insecure livestock owners will be targeted and assisted in Alishang district of Laghman province. AABRAR will closely work with the communities while implementing this project. CDCs and Shuras elders will be involved in the implementation phase of this project with the aim to identify and select the most vulnerable affected households. FSAC standard livestock and home gardening packages will be used for assisting the targeted beneficiaries. AABRAR will select safe and secure distribution point in coordination with the targeted participants and other respective authorities in order to ensure that the day, time and locations for the distribution are accessible and easy to reach for all targeted participants including persons with disabilities. AABRAR will also ensure distribution of packages through non-discriminatory manner in the targeted locations. Our Community Mobilizer and other field staff will provide information sessions to the targeted HHs before distribution which will improve the knowledge and skills of beneficiaries regarding the appropriate utilization of the packages (items).Afghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundDr. Abdul BaseerExecutive Director0093 (0) 775558885abdulbaseer@aabrar.org.afAbdul NasirDeputy Director / Head of Program0093 (0) 787980837abdulnasir@aabrar.org.af Zahidullah SadiqFinance Officer0093 (0) 789327222zahidsadiq@aabrar.org.afLaghman34.68976870 70.14558050Food Security300370.40300370.40Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation150185.20Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And Recreation150185.20Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghan Amputee Bicyclists for Rehabilitation And RecreationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/NGO/21408United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan has been suffering from an upsurge in drought frequency due to a rise in temperature and a decrease in rainfall for approximately two years, severely damaging agriculture throughout the country. In Afghanistan, the winter wet season is critical for successful agriculture and food production throughout the year. The planting season for Afghanistan’s main crop, wheat, starts when autumn rainfall allows farmers to sow seeds. However, A La Niña drought in 2021 impacted food production. 25 provinces out of 34 were affected by agricultural stress related to the drought in 2021. Below-average cumulative precipitation during the wet season (October 2020 – May 2021) and above-average temperatures resulted in reduced snowfall and reduced snow-melt (vital for irrigation in many areas) and a reduced area under cultivation. As preliminary estimates, the 2021 cereal harvest is 20% below 2020 levels and 15% below the five-year average. The 2021 Seasonal Food Security Assessment (SFSA), undertaken by the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster (FSAC), revealed that drought represented a major shock for about 37% of rural households. (IPC ACUTE FOOD INSECURITY ANALYSIS September 2021 - March 2022) According to SFSA 2021, 34% of the households already using emergency coping strategies i.e. 33% spent saving, 39% sold HH assets, 3.8% sold animals, 90% borrow food or money for food, 7.3% sold income generation equipment 2% decreased agriculture expenditures, 42.3% decreased expenditure on health and education, 1.2% sold land, 15% sold last female animal, 5.6% begging, 39.3% rely on charity, 3.4% early marriage of daughters, 8.1% entire HH migrated. The combined impact of conflict and insecurity, acute drought – the worst for more than three decades – and economic collapse in the second half of 2021 have generated a hunger crisis of unprecedented proportions in Afghanistan, with some 22.8 million people projected to be facing acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above) by the start of 2022. This includes a staggering 8.7 million people in ‘emergency’ food insecurity (IPC Phase 4) - the highest absolute number in the world. (Humanitarian Response Plan-HRP Issued January 2022) In Nangarhar, 70% of participants in a recent FAO survey have declared to have suffered from current severe/moderate food insecurity, while 22% are in an IPC3+ situation. The same analysis emerges that 44% of the families suffer because of the drought and 69% suffer a less than average harvest (FAO). To respond to the above situation, under this proposal, OCHR will target 1,430 HHs in the Nangarhar province by accomplishing the following activities: - Distribution of FSAC cluster standard livestock package to ensure livestock wellbeing and resistance against diseases. - Distribution of FSAC cluster standard vegetable kit to address nutrition challenges in the targeted areas. OCHR will conduct social mobilization in coordination with targeted communities, CDCs and Shura elders, and relevant local sectoral authorities to ensure that the most vulnerable drought-affected population is identified and selected. OCHR will select a safe distribution point in coordination with the target beneficiaries and ensure the day, time, and location for the distribution of inputs. In addition, field staff will add to the beneficiaries' knowledge, skills, and experience through on-the-spot brief hands-on demo training before distributing packages so that the beneficiaries appropriately utilize the distributed items. CHS and AWAAZ complaint mechanisms will be applied to be accountable to the beneficiaries and implement all activities in an accountable, transparent way. The project is designed upon the recommendation of FSAC i.e. to support cluster objectives addressing IPC3/IPC4.

During July-September 2021, due to intensified conflicts and associated risks, thousands of families internally displaced from Bamyan to nearby provinces or within the province to protect themselves from the brutality of Taliban that they had experienced 20 years ago. Waras and Yakawlang districts of Bamyan province, are among those district where the affected population requires immediate food assistance so they can survive the harsh winter conditions and produce food to sustain for longer terms. This can be feasible through provision of animal feed, dewormer and home gardening to ensure they can rely on better source of food to fulfill their basic needs. The proposed project aims to deliver animal feed, dewormer and home gardening assistance to 12390 affected population in Waras and Yakawlang districts of Bamyan province. 6195 participants in Waras and 6195 in Yakawlang district of Bamyan will be targeted by considering 100% host/local communities as affected population of concern. It will be household level assistance, and WSTA will provide a livestock package to 1835 participant households which will include wheat straw, oil cake, wheat bran, dewormer aiming to support the well-being of the livestock to ensure they can overcome the ongoing drought conditions and be less subjected to diseases. WSTA will also provide a home gardening kit to 12390 participants to support their food and nutritional needs while increasing their resilience to sudden shocks. The kit includes 4 different types of vegetable and fodder seeds, and the participants will have the choice to select the types as per their preference, season, soil and climate adaptation. The kit also includes toolkit (spade, rake, hoe) . As an active member of OCTs and other coordination forums in central highland provinces including Bamyan province, WSTA will closely coordinate the assessment/beneficiary selection, distribution and other activities of the project with new government, UN agencies, INGOs, NNGOs and other stakeholders to avoid duplication in response, and to address transparency and accountability within the overall process. The cluster recommended tools will be used for data collection, analysis and reporting while we will put additional tools to collect more segregated data as per Age, Gender and Diversity (AGD) approach. We will closely work with government line departments, beneficiary representatives and other stakeholders to identify and select our distribution points in target province/districts, which shall be safe and accessible for men, women, children, elderly and persons with disability with enough facilitation in place. The COVID-19 protocols will be strictly applied throughout the implementation process to ensure safety of our staff, beneficiaries and stakeholders. Project visibility, reporting to cluster, AHF and government will be properly managed as per the requirements of each party. We will use the services of AWAAZ Afghanistan and our internal hotline number to register the complaints, and will ensure that the target communities receive our complaint leaflets during the assessments and distribution. Our MampE and Project Control units will regularly monitor, evaluate and verify the project activities to improve the quality of our work, exercising a comprehensive lessons learned, and to address compliance.

In September and October 2021 (the post-harvest season), nearly 19 million people in Afghanistan experienced high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above), an almost 30% increase from the same season last year (14.5 million people). Between November 2021 and March 2022 (the winter lean season), a further deterioration in food security is expected, with the number of people in IPC Phase 3 or above increasing to 22.8 million, a nearly 35% increase from the same season last year (16.9m). Out of 22.8 million people, 14 million will likely be in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and 8.7 million in Emergency (IPC Phase 4). The number of areas in Emergency is expected to significantly increase in the projection analysis period from 21 to 32 analytical domains. It is likely that household food access between the end of winter and the following spring season will further deteriorate due to: the continuing La Niña climatic episode bringing below-average winter precipitation for the second consecutive year, the impact of high food prices and growing unemployment. In Bamyan, its estimated that around 30% of the province’s population will be in emergency (phase 4) and over 35% in crisis situation (phase 3) through the project period of November 2021 – March 2022. This makes 65%, or nearly one million people, of the province’s population, being in in Crisis and Emergency .JCSSO hire a monitoring officer to monitor the CVA frequently, Daily, weekly and monthly, he/she will provide the report for better implementation .regarding cash feasibility (market assessment – safe access availability of goods , beneficiary preference) is considered and detailed at other part of proposal This project aims to address the immediate food needs and food insecurity challenges among most vulnerable families in the district of Panjab through unconditional cash transfer modality. Informed by best practices and previous experiences of JCSSO in this regard, the proposed unconditional cash transfers will enable households to have improved access to food and improved food consumption this will ensure sustained assistance to food insecure households through provision of predictable and reliable safety nets, lean seasonal support to stabilize vulnerable households. JCSSO proposes to reach 1425 household beneficiaries with unconditional and unrestricted cash transfer distributed via hawala-transfer for at least two months, for the period of winter hunger gap, averaging $160 for each household.(80*2=160 as the full cash basket) The payment will reach each household beneficiaries on monthly basis, averaging $80 for each household (based on cluster standard), which will be equivalent to its value in Afghani currency. Targeting and selection of needy beneficiaries to receive assistance through this project will be carried out through community consultations. Beneficiaries will be selected using the FSAC standard vulnerability criteria. Priorities will be given to shock affected vulnerable groups such as women headed households, person with disability, households with poor asset holding and high dependency ratio. The proposed activity will be implemented within a 6 months’ timeline.

The IPC report published in November 2021 indicates that an estimated 22.8 million people, or 55 per cent of the population, are expected to be in crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity between November 2021 and March 2022, a nearly 35 per cent increase from the same season last year (16.9 million). Situated in a seismic zone, mountainous terrain, harsh arid climate with freezing winters, abundant snowfall and heavy spring rains makes Afghanistan highly vulnerable to several natural hazards. Earthquakes, floods, flash floods, drought, landslides and snow avalanches frequently affect vulnerable people across the country. Nearly four decades of conflict and a low level of socio-economic development, combined with climate change and natural resource mismanagement, have resulted in widespread degradation of Afghanistan’s natural resource base. This has made a greater number of people further vulnerable. SOUND technical team along with representatives from PRRD has conducted project assessment in Khan Char Bagh and Khoja Sab Posh districts. The overall understanding from the joint assessment is that the percentage of poverties are very high and the communities are severely affected due to the harsh natural disasters (drought and floods) and conflict. Furthermore, in most of the areas the communities need for food assistance in terms of food security, and the severity is exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed project will virtually safeguard and protect the residents from natural disaster, save lives and improve the food security in the areas. Considering the high level of need, SOUND will provide 870 HHs (6,090 individuals) in Khan Char Bagh and 800 HHs (5,600 individuals) in Khoja Sabz Posh with cash for food assistance for two months full ration. The distribution will happen in two rounds/installments and beneficiaries will receive $80 (AFN equivalent) in each round of distribution as per the FSAC guideline. The proposed cash basket provides 2,100 Kcal energy for one month for a household of 7 members. SOUND intended cash assistance to be provided unconditionally to most vulnerable and HHs. The decision was made based on the findings of a needs assessment done in both Khan Char Bagh and Khoja Sabz Posh districts in November, which identified food as the most pressing need. Furthermore, cash was selected as the preferred aid modality by 72% of respondents, and marketplaces were rated as accessible and safe. According to the conclusions of SOUND's market evaluation, markets in both Khan Char Bagh and Khoja Sabz Posh districts are accessible to both men and women, and food items are available in sufficient amounts. Given the current state of banking institutions and the constraints they face in terms of cash transfers and withdrawals, monetary assistance will be provided through the Hawala system, which has been selected as the most feasible and extensively used method. SOUND assessment focused more on the availability/ capacity of the local market, in addition to the WFP and REACH/JMMI assessments findings.Services Organization for Unity and DevelopmentServices Organization for Unity and DevelopmentAfghanistan Humanitarian FundAminullah MuazamProgram Manager+93796078141sound.program1@gmail.comFaryab36.07956130 64.90595500Food Security387161.52387161.52Afghanistan Humanitarian FundServices Organization for Unity and Development193580.76Afghanistan Humanitarian FundServices Organization for Unity and Development193580.76Afghanistan Humanitarian FundServices Organization for Unity and DevelopmentXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/FSAC/UN/20785United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe 2021 La Niña event, which started in early October, is expected to continue through March 2022, following an already below-average season due to last year's La Niña event. This will likely result in another spate of drought condition, which could lead to reduced yields and crop losses for the winter wheat season in north-eastern and central provinces of Afghanistan, while reduced snowfall in mountainous areas may reduce irrigation water supplies in the spring months.  This is likely to result in a significant uptick in humanitarian needs in affected areas, with farmers and herders most affected by drought typically needing three to five years to recover. Between November 2021 and March 2022, the number of people in IPC Phase 3 or above is projected at 22.8 million, a nearly 35 percent increase from the same season last year (16.9 million people), with 8.7 million will likely be in IPC Phase 4. If the fast-growing crisis is not contained as a matter of urgency, there is a serious risk that the humanitarian system will not be able to avoid the risk that the most vulnerable are pushed from IPC Phase 4 into IPC Phase 5. Anticipatory action is needed now to protect lives and livelihoods. Accordingly, actions to safeguard food security by protecting agricultural livelihoods are critical moving forward into the 2021-22 winter and 2022 spring seasons. The window of opportunity to provide support is narrowing particularly for (1) marginal/vulnerable livestock keepers ahead of the harsh winter months and ( 2) season-critical agricultural inputs for backyard production of nutritious food (vegetables). This is given to these vulnerable food insecure households to safeguard their food security and coping capacities to effectively mitigate the adverse impacts emanating from the forecasted lower than average precipitation and higher than average temperatures leading to depleted soil moisture levels and poor pasture /vegetation growth conditions in the winter-spring months of 2022. Through this anticipatory action project, FAO will address the immediate humanitarian needs of vulnerable livestock keeping families and landless / marginal asset holding families in the Faryab, Ghor, Kunar, and Samangan Provinces - given the expanded humanitarian access and the underserved / unmet humanitarian needs in these provinces – to prevent the loss of lives as a consequence of acute food insecurity, through the provision of season-critical livestock protection inputs and agriculture inputs, as per the FSAC recommended responses packages. There is a need to invest in Early Warning Systems (EWS). The is due to multiple factors: - Ongoing La Nina event - Depleted technical capacities in national institutions on Early Warning System (EWS) coupled with lack of technical staff amongst de facto authorities at sub-national / local levels - the withdrawal of FEWSNET and World Bank investments on Drought-EWS from Afghanistan Through this project, FAO will aim to establish a community-based drought EWS. This will allow real-time monitoring of pertinent indicators on hydro-agrometeorological factors, agricultural livelihoods and food insecurity changes. This will inform the potential impact analysis and designing of early action advisories on plant/animal diseases’ management to be provided in a timely manner to herders and farmers / backyard vegetable cultivators. Underpinned by the anticipatory actions approach, FAO will work with FSAC partners - through this project - to assist drought-affected livestock keeping and landless / marginal asset-holding families to achieve enhanced resilience to future shocks through the provision of: 1. Livestock protection package consisting of: concentrate animal feed, fodder-crop seeds and deworming support and 2.

As a result, displacement has taken place within and outside the country. Between January and August 2021, it is estimated that over half a million people have been newly displaced due to conflict, 80 percent of whom are women and children, adding to the more than 2.9 million people already internally displaced due to conflict [1]. This transpires against the backdrop of a humanitarian emergency growing in complexity, and food insecurity increasing in scope and scale. The convergence of conflict, climate, economic and financial crises has resulted in a humanitarian catastrophe growing in complexity, scope, and scale, leaving almost 50% of the population unable to feed themselves. The recent IPC Post-Harvest Analysis Preliminary Findings [2] estimate that more than half the population of Afghanistan (22.8 million) will face acute food insecurity from November. Afghanistan is quickly becoming the world’s largest humanitarian crisis. This includes 8.7 million facing emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC Phase 4). This is the highest number of acutely food insecure people ever recorded in the ten years the UN has been conducting PIC analyses in Afghanistan. At the same time, Afghanistan faces economic collapse. International financial institutions have suspended Afghanistan’s access to funds and foreign reserves and assets, the local currency (Afghani) is at an all-time low, and prices of everyday items continue to surge. Between 15 to 25 August, the internal banking system was frozen, severely restricting the availability of cash. Though there has been partial reopening, the outlook remains uncertain, as restrictions on withdrawals and suspensions on key transactions remain in place. The freeze on foreign inflows includes Official Development Assistance, previously comprising over 42 percent of Afghanistan’s GDP and providing support to 75 percent of the government’s budget, exacerbating the ability of vast swathes of the Afghan population to cope with mounting economic stress and impacting the delivery of essential services. To complement WFP’s overall crisis response, WFP aims to use this funding to provide unconditional, nutrition-sensitive in-kind food assistance to acutely food-insecure people in Hirat, Nangarhar, Ghazni, Faryab, Parwan, Ghor, Jawzjan, Badghis, Sar-e-pul Wardak, and Zabul provinces. All of these provinces have been classified as facing IPC Phase 4 levels of acute food insecurity in the projected period between November 2021 to March 2022. WFP plans to provide a total of 8,455.7 MT worth of emergency in-kind assistance to 312,786 acutely food-insecure people (44,684 households) in the abovementioned targeted provinces. Targeted households will receive a monthly in-kind nutritionally balanced food basket comprised of 75kg of fortified wheat flour, 6.83kg of fortified vegetable oil, 9.38kg of pulses, and 0.75 kg of iodized salt. Households will receive in-kind food assistance for two months within a longer-term period of assistance which will be sourced from other donors. WFP’s in-kind assistance is aligned with the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster’s (FSAC) recommended guidelines on humanitarian response packages. WFP aims to prevent people facing emergency levels of acute food insecurity from falling below acceptable levels of food security, bridge critical food gaps whilst increasing food consumption levels, as well as prevent vulnerable households from having to resort to negative coping strategies that would further compound their vulnerability to food insecurity. Food assistance will be provided with full consideration of COVID-19 preventive measures.World Food ProgrammeWorld Food ProgrammeAFGHANAIDFUTURE GENERATIONS AFGHANISTANShelter for Life InternationalWorld Vision InternationalAfghan Development Association (ADA) Afghan Women Coordination amp; Promotion Organization + Noor Educational amp; Capacity Development OrganizationHumanitarian Action for the People of Afghanistan and Organization of Human WelfareRazi Social Development OrganizationWatan Social and Technical Serivces Association consortiumAfghanistan Humanitarian FundCecilia GarzonHead of Programme Unit+93 706004857cecilia.garzon@wfp.orgJorge Daniel DiazProgramme Policy Officer93-70-600-48-64 Jorge.diaz@wfp.orgJang Hwan BaeGovernment Partnerships Officer82 10 9910 8753jang.bae@wfp.orgBadghis35.16713390 63.76953840Faryab36.07956130 64.90595500Ghazni33.55000000 68.41666700Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Hirat34.34194400 62.20305600Jawzjan36.89696920 65.66585680Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Parwan34.96309770 68.81088490Sar-e-Pul35.67074730 66.04635340Wardak34.35134940 68.23853390Zabul32.19187820 67.18944880Food Security7583160.007583160.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Food Programme7583160.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Food ProgrammeXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/H/INGO/20670United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAccording the HNO 2021 despite substantial investment and scale-up of critical services through BPHS providers, mobile health teams and the establishment of trauma posts, easy access to critical care remains out of reach for many of the most vulnerable. According to WHO, there are approximately 9.4 health professionals for every 10,000 people in Afghanistan, of which only 1.9 are doctors.1 This falls dramatically below the minimum density threshold of 34.5 skilled health professionals per 10,000 people identified by WHO as being needed to provide the most basic health coverage. Things are particularly challenging in hard-to-reach areas where 27 per cent of assessed settlements report they do not have a comprehensive health center and 69 per cent report no access to medicine.2 While most vulnerable households assessed in the 2020 WoA indicated they do have access to a health facility,3 many report having to walk over an hour to reach the nearest facility. Long distances are particularly noted by non-recent returnee households and recent IDPs4 and present an exceptional barrier to elderly headed households and women given the cost of transport, the dangers of moving around in conflict zones and social barriers to female travel. In addition, social, health and economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be felt across all demographic groups and are undermining the coping capacity of an already vulnerable population, based on the AHF first standard allocation for 2021 the risk of COVID-19 has significantly increased in Afghanistan and in particular in Herat province of Afghanistan, where the diagnostic and curative services for COVID needs is not fully available. In line with the AHF 1st Standard Allocation for 2021, the proposed project aims to improve access to primary health care services including reproductive and child health care services as well as mental health and psychosocial support services through establishment of the Mobile Health teams in the priority provinces in western region of Afghanistan (Ghor and Badghis Provinces). In addition, the project supports case detection of the COVID-19 cases by secondment of professional health care staff to the COVID-19 laboratory as well as provision of PPE and IPC for the COVID-19 diagnostic and treatment centers. Based on the coordination meeting that was organized by DoPH participated by WV and other organizations (health partners) to improve the Trauma Care in Herat, WV was requested to provide equipment/other medical supplies and support ambulance for trauma patient referrals.

Each MHTs will be staffed by five technical staff (one doctor, one midwife, one vaccinator, one nutrition nurse and one MHPSS counselor) as well as two support staff inclusive of a cleaner and a guard. The health care services at mobile health team facilities will include outpatient consultation for common morbidities, routine immunization, minimum nutrition activities (e.g. IMAM management and IYCF counseling), , sexual and reproductive health services such as antenatal care, skilled delivery services, postnatal care, provision of mental health and psychosocial consultations, health and hygiene education promotion and response to emergencies and outbreaks including, acute watery diarrhea, measles and provision of essential pharmaceuticals and medical commodities. Other essential activities will include ensuring appropriate Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) protocols and measures, including early detection and prevention measures, COVID-19 prevention, staff training, provision of personal protective equipment (PPE) for staff and IPC supplies will be put in place across all health facilities. IMC will ensure that health facilities are regularly supplied with essential medicines and medical supplies as per the standard lists of the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH). All emergency cases that require advanced/dedicated services will be referred to the nearest higher-level health facilities, or provincial hospital as appropriate. IMC will maintain the 50 beds already established COVID-19 Hospital for COVID-19 patients, in coordination with Provincial Governor and/or Provincial Health Director, and health cluster focal point, WHO, UNICEF and other stakeholders. The hospital will provide four main functions a) health services to support COVID-19 case management b) Functional lab for COVID-19 testing, surveillance and case management support c) IPC measures and d) logistic/finance support. IMC will be actively engaged in all four functions and will work closely with the 50 bed Balkh COVID-19 hospital team. Cases will be monitored, and the level of risk will be communicated with all stakeholders including BPHS implementer to increase awareness and screening in BPHS HFs/HPs.

The province is included in the list of 25 high risks provinces which will more likely be worst affected by the dry spell as identified in the multi-sectoral need analysis and included in the Humanitarian Response for Spring disaster contingency plan. Being one of the least developed province with poor infrastructures, people have to travel mostly through difficult and muddy roads specially during winter. As one of the conflict and drought affected province thus the quick assessment and desk review conducted by MMRCA as Sehatmandi implementer in Badghis indicates the early effects of dry spell and recent political changes greatly affected the local population with most of them reportedly have been taking loans to buy food and other basic needs. As the water crisis unfolds, water availability for livestock and agriculture, as well as for drinking and hygiene is a challenge for the affected communities. The affected population in white and underserved areas may need to walk longer distance to reach water sources that are currently available and may need to expend additional resources to compensate for limited local water availability and/ or poor water quality. Those who cannot afford to purchase water may de-priorities water for sanitation and hygiene, which in turn will increase risk of infectious and waterborne diseases, including COVID-19 and Acute Watery Diarrhea. At the same time, limited existing or accessible healthcare is a high risk in the affected provinces. Scale-up of mobile health teams and health surveillance to deal with the health implications of the likely drought, disease and malnutrition in these locations will be important and the need will increase in the event of displacement. Data related to IDP numbers and locations was provided by provincial authorities. The proposed project will cover catchment population of 48,640 with limited or no access to primary health care in the five targeted districts (Bala Murghab, Jawand, Muqor, Qadis amp Abkamari districts). Difficult terrain, poor infrastructure and the distance people need to walk to reach the health facilities are some of the constraints which makes it very difficult for people to access basic health services. As per the available data of Badghis province around 83,000 people living in white areas where they have limited or no-access to health services. Johanniter International Assistance (JIA) amp Medical Management amp Research Courses for Afghanistan (MMRCA) through this project, aims to improve access and utilization of basic primary health care services and psychosocial support by the affected population through the 1.Establishment, equipping and staffing of 8 MHTs in Bala Murghab, Jawand, Muqor, Qadis amp Abkamari districts 2.Provision of psychological first aid and counseling to patients showing symptoms of psychological trauma and other psychosocial problems 3.Provision of emergency primary health services to the population living in remote amp underserved villages through MHTs. 4.Integration of COVID 19 response such as screening, contact tracing and referral in the package of services to be provided by the Mobile Health Team 5.Identification, Management and referrals of GBV survivors 6.Community Awareness raising on prevention amp transmission of COVID 19 infections, proper hygiene practices amp prevention of GBV. 7. Nutrition screening and treatment of acute malnourished children, referral of MAM and SAM amp orientation of PLW on breastfeeding amp Infant amp Young Children Feeding. The duration of project is 6 months and will start 1st of February 2022.JOHANNITERJOHANNITERMMRCAAfghanistan Humanitarian FundLouis MarijnissenInterim Head of Mission/ Sr. Programme Manager+93728882615louis.marijnissen@thejohanniter.orgKhangelani NcubeFinance Coordinator+93730706750khangelani.ncube@thejohanniter.orgAbdul RashidExecutive Director MMRCA+93786140561arwahab@gmail.comAhmad Walid MayarSenior Finance Officer+93795049493walid.mayar@thejohanniter.orgBadghis35.16713390 63.76953840Health500000.01500000.01Afghanistan Humanitarian FundJOHANNITER400000.01Afghanistan Humanitarian FundJOHANNITER100000.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundJOHANNITER146372.14JOHANNITERUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/H/INGO/21384United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsHealthnet International and Transcultural Psychosocial Organization (HNI-TPO) is a Netherland-based international organization working in Afghanistan since 1994.

(Assessment results attached). Based on available data and physical assessment, it was found that health system is collapsed after the event of August 15, 2021 with no partial service provision. During the last 4 months’ international communities/donors tried hard to revitalize the health infrastructure, but with short term commitment the partially opened HFs are not responsive to the needs of population. Coverage areas for the intervention of proposed project were selected in coordination with provincial stakeholders (PPHD, BPHS implementers and communities). Proposed project is designed to provide services to the remote and inaccessible population in Zabul and Bulkh through establishment of 8 MHTs in Zabul and 5 MHTs in Bulkh province. In coordination with Regional Health Cluster, PPHD, BPHS implementer and other partners, HADAAF selected, 7 districts in Zabul and 3 Districts in Bulkh for the intervention: A- Zabul Province: 1) Dai Choopan with 6,776 targeted population, 1 MHT is planned in Shoyee and its neighboring villages. 2) Shamal zai with 6,370 targeted population , 1 MHT in Qalai Rasheed and its neighboring villages. 3) Shajoy , with 4,683 targets, 1MHT is planned in Zargaran and its neighboring villages. 4) Shinkey, with 4,760 targets, 1 MHT planned in Lawara and its neighboring villages. 5) Khaki Afghan, with 5,712 Targets, 1 MHT in Hawari and its neighboring villages. 6) Qalat with 7147 IDPs, 1 MHT is planned 7) Arghandab with 9,597 targets, 2 MHT are planned As per Regional HC recommendation, there is strong needs to support current emergency services through Shajoy DH through capacity building, staffing and transportation of critical patients. B- Bulkh Province: 1) Nahri Shahi District: the project will cover 19000 underserved population through 3 MHTs 2) Charkint District: the project will target 7000 populations through 1 MHT. 3) Kaldar District: 8736 underserved populations will be covered by 1 MHT. The country is also facing a protection crisis where people’s rights to safety, security amp well-being are threatened due to political changes and collapse of infrastructure, the protection components are integrated to address protection issues. To ensure provision of full package of PHC services, all MHTs will be staffed based on standard staffing status for MHT with extra deployment of psychosocial counselor for counseling mental health issues and GBV victims. IPampC officer is proposed to ensure prevention measures including Covid-19 and RCCE promotion. Based on above explanation the project interventions are in the line with Health cluster SO1 and 2. The project will be fully functional providing services to the population after 1 month inception period, managed through provincial offices in Zabul and Bulkh provinces and supported by HADAAF’s HQ in Kabul. During inception period, all preparatory measures (coordination, recruitment, setup, procurement, training) will be completed. Following interventions are planned in project design based on cluster priorities: 1) Provision of emergency Primary Health Care, Mental Health/ PSS services amp RCCE in all MHTs. 2) Training/orientation of health Shura amp community leaders on RCCE and community outreach 3) Infection control and prevention at MHTs level and promotion of hygiene at community level and Provision of PPEs, Chlorine amp Spraying Pumps to MHTs staff to disinfect amp prevent infection.

Major diseases outbreaks are continuing and even day by day increasing from those major disease outbreak one of them is COVID-19. The de facto authorities position regarding COVID-19 program is also not clear and even unknown and the heavy movement of the people (IDPs) are reported, so all these will lead to the fourth wave of the COVID-19 in Afghanistan and Kunduz is one of the affected province, because it is central zone of the northeast region and there is heavy movement of IDPs and from other around provinces. JACK conducted rapid health need assessment in Kunduz province and held focus groups discussions with health facilities councils members both male and female in the community the community reflected that since the COVID-19 programs stopped there isn’t any place to refer and get the services of COVID-19 , and they are faced with challenges and this gap should be filled.

This project is also in line with health cluster response priorities to ensure timely, equitable lifesaving health care is provided to people in need, through a holistic approach to humanitarian health assistance that also enables the health system to perform its essential functions, respond to emergencies, prevent, detect and respond to outbreaks of communicable diseases of epidemic potential and protect the health of vulnerable populations. Building on existing IOM Migration Health programming, this project will specifically support: The provision of primary health care services through Mobile Health Teams (MHTs), including but not limited to reproductive and child health care services, Nutrition, mental health and psychosocial support services (Kunduz and Balkh), and COVID-19 vaccinations (Activity 1, AHF Strategy) The deployment of Rapid Response Teams for surveillance and response to infectious disease outbreak including COVID-19, acute watery diarrhea, dengue fever (Kandahar and Nangarhar) (Activity 2, AHF Strategy) and The functioning of COVID-19 treatment centers in one regional hospital including staffing, diagnostic facilities, and provision of PPE in Herat (Activity 3, AHF Strategy), run by implementing partner Relief Humanitarian Development Organization (RHDO), with technical support and oversight from IOM. These targeted provinces, selected as priority areas by the health cluster for the expansion of intervention coverage in 2022, are characterized by high return and displacement and are among the 15 identified with extreme severity of needs based on overall severity ranking (ICCT, Inter cluster need prioritization, Sept-Dec 2021). IOM stands ready to strengthen public health response capacities to save lives, while addressing migration and displacement drivers and mitigating mid-term impacts of the crisis in Afghanistan. The coordination with the provincial health authorities, sub-regional Health Cluster teams as well as relevant Sehatmandi and AHF implementer in Kunduz, Balkh, Kandahar, Herat and Nangarhar was done through, direct consultations respectively with JACK (Kunduz) , HNTPO (Kunduz amp Nangarhar ),HADAF (Balkh) and IMC (Balkh) . IOM is currently implementing Mobile Health Teams (MHTs) in Kunduz and Balkh, RRTs in Kandahar and Nangarhar) and COVID-19 treatment centers in Herat until February 28th. Thus, the overmentioned planned activities under the AHF-2021 SA-1 will start on March 1, 2022 and will continue for 6 months. There will be no preparatory period in the planned project as all arrangements (staff, building, equipment etc.) are already in place.

UNICEF will support community-based response through 26 multi-disciplinary Integrated Emergency Response Teams (IERTs) through rapid trainings and provision of essential commodities to detect, trace, and treat cases, provide referral support, as well as conduct risk communication and community engagement (RCCE). The IERT supported prevention and response activities will reach 454,571 people (M 134,660 F 129,951 B 96,830 G 93,130). The RCCE support would include house-to-house visits and mass awareness campaigns to disseminate preventive messages, while also receiving community feedback and will reach 2,272,855 people (M 673,300 F 649,755 B 484,150 G 465,650). Through these interventions, UNICEF will address approximately 43,488 AWD/Cholera cases (including approx. 34,790 mild cases) among the population living in the high-risk areas of the 6 target provinces. UNICEF will also support the establishment of Oral Rehydration Points (ORPs) at community level and Cholera Treatment Centers/Units (CTCs/CTUs) at facility level. UNICEF will implement proposed activities through implementing partners and contractual agencies. While they will execute activities, UNICEF will oversight the performance. UNICEF use existing staffs (Health, WASH, Nutrition technical extenders, zonal offices and staff at national level) as a project management team to closely monitor implementing partners and activities. To address roots causes of AWD such as food insecurity, increased malnutrition, and shortage of WASH services, this project is to complement with other UNICEF supporting initiatives such as BPHS, mobile health and nutrition teams and WASH and Nutrition projects in the same target areas to complement each and make synergy as a comprehensive integrated approach.

The recent changes in the Country’s government have brought new uncertainty around the provision of life saving services and the impact that economic decline will have on the already highly vulnerable population. The mistrust from the international community affects the potential for resource mobilization which culminated with the suspension of the Sahatmandi project funded by the World Bank (WB) that was providing Basic Package of Health Services (BHPS) funding to the former Government. While the WB is now looking into alternatives for channeling funds, health and nutrition facilities are at risk of closing down, leaving thousands of children with malnutrition at high risk of death. Months of intense conflict during the first half of 2021, have further impacted the availability of health structures and significantly reduced the capacity of the existing first aid trauma posts (FATPs) in Country. In 2021, countrywide trauma needs increased by 50% in comparison to the previous year. Even prior to August 15th women and girls disproportionately lacked access to trauma care, facing higher levels of morbidity and mortality, especially in rural areas and this trend is expected to further exacerbate under the new political scenario. Levels of malnutrition in Country continue to rise while Afghanistan is facing the second drought in the past four years. More than half of children under five faced malnutrition in 2021 with a 16 percent increase for severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and many nutrition services were interrupted during active fighting. Under the proposed 6-month project Relief International aims to support the provision of gender responsive immediate and lifesaving health assistance for trauma affected patients in urban areas in Kapisa and Parwan Provinces as well as primary health care through integrated health and nutrition support to children under 5 and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) living in IDP settlements and hard to reach (HTR) areas in Parwan province. Taking into consideration the high prevalence of GBV in Afghanistan and the need to protect survivors, GBV response will be mainstreamed into RI’s health programming, through capacity building of healthcare workers on protection principles, GBV and survivor-centered approaches, with a focus on confidentiality and do-no-harm principle. RI will also train female staff in PFA in order to provide psychological support to women at-risk or survivors of GBV. Health staff will provide immediate medical response to identified GBV survivors and will be trained on safe referrals to existing services. RI is working closely with the protection cluster to ensure we have an updated mapping of service providers and use the corresponding referral pathways. All activities will reflect COVID19 mitigation measures. Out of the total 18,200 beneficiaries target across all components, 7,100 will be women and 6,800 children. RI has worked in Afghanistan since 2001 and in 2019, the French NGO MRCA joined the Relief International Alliance as MRCA/RI-France, greatly expanding RI’s capacity to improve the health of communities throughout Afghanistan. MRCA began the implementation of health projects in Afghanistan in 1993, in collaboration with the Afghan Ministry of Health (MoPH) and with the aim to help facilitating national health services and capacity building through staff trainings. Building on strong technical expertise in Country and at Global level, during 2020/21 RI supported the running of 89 health facilities, 12 FTAP and 6 MHTs across Afghanistan with funding from WB, OCHA, UNICEF.

At the start of 2021, there were 18.4 million people in need of humanitarian assistance — the 4th largest humanitarian caseload globally. Initial figures indicate that this number will go up to 22 million in 2022. The ongoing escalation of humanitarian need is being complicated by the political events of August 15th and the resulting pause of long-term development funding by international donors to the “Sehatmandi” project delivering basic and essential packages of health services (BPHS and EPHS) across the country. Being the backbone of the Afghan health system, its cessation of services by September 11th had a devastating impact on health care delivery all over the country. Since August 15th the country wide security situation has stabilized and all 34 provinces are accessible to receive support through humanitarian assistance. This includes all white and underserved areas which now call for a large scale up of humanitarian assistance to support the delivery of primary health care services. At the same time mass causality incidents have been a regular occurrence and as a result, the demand for trauma care has increased, in 2021 alone it was estimated for some 310.500 people to require emergency trauma care. Its provision is almost exclusively delivered by humanitarian partners in Afghanistan, despite the high prevalence of mass casualty incidents, basic and essential surgical care remains outside of the seven major elements of the Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS). Preparedness for and capacity to respond to trauma incidents to avoid possible mortalities and morbidities by enhancing the trauma care services at the hospital and pre-hospital levels has remained a high priority. WHO is supporting 130 hospitals in emergency care, along with the provision of supplies and equipment, organization and planning, blood bank support, HR capacity building, mass casualty management, disability and physical rehabilitation and mental health support. The action presented in this project proposal aims to preserve the essential health service delivery in priority areas of Afghanistan through the provision of emergency and trauma medical kits to Health Facilities (HF) in areas with highest needs as they align with the AHF allocation strategy. Emergency medical kits will be delivered to HFs in Badghis, Helmand, Ghor, Samangan, Balkh, Uruzgar, Farah, Kunduz and Zabul provinces. Supplying HFs with essential medicines and materials and equipment to deliver primary health care services is in line with activity 1 of the strategic allocation. WHO will also deliver trauma care kits to HFs in Parwan, Kabul, Ghazni, Kandarhar, Herat and Kapisa provinces. These kits include essential medicines and equipment for trauma cases management. This activity is in line with activity 4 of the strategic allocation. In this presented action WHO will also support secondary care hospital through the recruitment of implementing partners to deliver primary and secondary healthcare services including trauma. Through the implementing partners general operating expenses, staff salaries and medical supplies will be supported in Ata Turk Hospitals in Kabul province. WHO is aligning with activity 1 and 4 of the allocation strategy. WHO will also support the in-patient management of complicated SAM cases with this action in order to fill the gaps within the existing essential health service delivery. WHO will support 44 therapeutic feeding units that SAM cases with complications are referred to by delivering medical and non-medical equipment and supplies. The centers are strategically located in 13 provinces all over the country in line with the nutrition part of the strategic allocation linking to theme 1 activity 1 and 4.

The focus will be on most vulnerable population, mainly women and children, in 6 districts in Ghazni (Abe-Band and Qarabagh Districts), Parwan (Siagerd and Bagram Districts) and Balkh (Sholgrara Districts and PD-5 and P-9 of Mazar-e-sharif City) identified in coordination with cluster representatives, Provincial Public Health Directorates, BPHS implementers and the assessment conducted by CARE. The three provinces are in the list of priority idetitied by the 1st Standard Allocation Strategy 2021. CARE has long presence in all the three provinces. The organization is currently providing health, psychosocial and nutrition services to the conflict affected population, IDPs and vulnerable groups. Beside health and nutrition CARE is providing livelihood, Multipurpose cash and education services, which make CARE more familiar with the local context and other essential needs of these communities. In all these three provinces, CARE has presence for more than a decade and has developed a very strong community TRUST and thus the access will not be a challenge for implementation. CARE conducted extensive coordination exercise and rapid needs assessments involving key stakeholders such as cluster/WHO representatives, the provincial public health directorates, the BPHS implementers, the district health officers and fixed health facilities and local communities. As a result, the most vulnerable communities and groups were identified in the high priority conflict and drought-affected white and hard to reach areas targeted by this project. From the needs assessment, lack of access to basic health and nutrition services was prioritized by communities assessed. The preparation phase will include closer coordination with community and provincial authorities and identifying the service delivery points (SDPs). This will be achieved during the first month of the project, by provincial team and project manager and other staff from central office of CARE. The purpose of the project is To improve health, psycho-social, GBV and nutrition wellbeing of targeted population (women, girls, men and boys) in selected districts of Ghazni ((Qarabagh.and Abe-Band), Balkh (Sholgara District and District # 5 amp9 of Mazar-e-sharif City) and Parwan Siagard and Bagram) provinces CARE will use two-prong approach to provide life-saving health and nutrition services in the targeted locations including the establishment of the 6 mobile health teams and supporting 6 fixed health facilities to which the MHTs will be making referral. Each mobile health team will be comprised of a team of professionals, including a medical doctor, a midwife, a nutrition counselor, a psychosocial counselor and a vaccinator. CARE will train the mobile health team staff with a package of life-saving primary health care and nutrition services in the humanitarian situation. Moreover, community focal points will be trained in each SDP (one male and one female) for community based intervention such as health and nutrition education, nutrition screening and referral. The mobile teams will be located in the districts ideally and will function from there. CARE has coordinated the selection of the new geographic coverage for this intervention with PPHD, BPHS partner to avoid duplication of activities and geographic coverage. In addition, CARE conducted a rapid needs assessment in the areas proposed by PPHD which confirmed the continued needs of the communities for an integrated nutrition and health services. Additionally, a very robust and practical data management, compilation, and reporting system with an effective monitoring mechanism will be implemented at both national and provincial levels.

In 2021 the situation devastated due to the drought conflict as well as nutrition and economic impact of the COVID-19. The recently updated Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis shows the food security situation has further deteriorated with worrying implications for the winter lean season ahead. An estimated 22.8 million people, or 55 per cent of the population, are expected to be in crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC 3+) between November 2021 and March 2022, a nearly 35 per cent increase from the same season last year (16.9m). Acute malnutrition is a public health issue that predominantly affects children under the age of five, as well as PLW. The Nutrition Cluster estimates that 27 out of 34 provinces are above the emergency threshold for acute malnutrition. At least 3.9 million people need acute malnutrition treatment services in 2021, including one million children under five with severe acute malnutrition (SAM), 2.2 million children under five with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), and 0.7 million pregnant and lactating women (PLW) with acute malnutrition. Stunting already stands at a staggering 41 per cent in Afghanistan and in the last drought year (2018), 74,000 children had died from acute malnutrition. World Vision (WV) Intends to deliver the required nutrition services through the establishment of seven Mobile Health and Nutrition teams (MHNTs) in Ghor and Badghis provinces (Ghor: Firozkoh,Taiwara, Dolaina and Badghis: Jawand, Qadis, Balamorghab). World Vision will focus on the provision of essential nutrition treatment for severely acute malnourished children by forming seven Mobile Nutrition teams. WV will also provide emergency lifesaving nutrition services in the hard to reach and uncovered areas using the IMAM protocol, facilitate community screening for malnutrition and support referral, provide financial support for the referral of SAM management and provision of , provide Winterization kits and clothing to PLW with acute malnutrition in liaison and coordination with ESNFI cluster for provision p of the IYCF services at the community and health facility level and integrate MHPSS and deliver the services through Mobile Nutrition teams. The project will focus on early action to avoid severe malnutrition by targeting the, borderline’ cases of acute malnutrition through prevention-oriented services such as counselling on optimal care practices to mothers of children who borderline in terms of their Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC). This approach can reduce the risk of rapid deterioration of the nutritional status of children with a MUAC result of 12.5-13.5 cm. This will be done at the MHNTs level by nutrition nurses and at the community level by community nutrition promoters. The adaptation mechanism will be taken into consideration during any capacity building efforts, IYCF promotion session based on the WHO/MOPH and WV Standard Operating Procedure for training, public gatherings, and IEC distribution under the COVID-19 circumstances. The project will focus on the provision of lifesaving referral for those cases that require inpatient services and will ensure that a transportation and treatment facility are provided for them. WV attends the EPR meetings on a weekly basis and will update the key actors including DoPH, UNICEF and WHO on the project progress the project report will be shared on a weekly and monthly basis to the key nutrition cluster focal points and DEWS surveillance focal points.

However, due to a need to cover a service gap in underserved pocket areas of the province, the project catchment area has been expanded to Qara-Bagh, Shakardara, Bagrami, and Deh Sabz districts. The seven districts total population comprises 94,790 people. The services will be provided through the deployment of three Integrated Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (IMHNTs). IMHNTs intervention sites will be identified in coordination with the BPHS implementers and the Provincial Public Health Directorate (PPHD) to avoid overlap and duplication of services and ensure fair resource distribution to the local affected population. The three IMHNTs will provide outpatient services for SAM and MAM cases without medical complications and will support the referral of SAM cases with complications to in-patient care. These activities will be complemented by a community nutrition component consisting of empowering community members on undernutrition prevention and timely case identification and referral through community promoters and the Family MUAC approach. To offer a comprehensive package and obtain a more impactful response, in addition to nutrition services, AAH will provide primary health care services for children under five and women of reproductive age (15-49 years old) as well as Mother, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) awareness and counseling support. AAH will also ensure the provision of winter kits and clothing for acutely undernourished lactating and pregnant women in partnership with the ESNFI cluster. The sexual and reproductive health services will target girls and women of reproductive age through the provision of basic Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services including contraceptives, antenatal, and postnatal follow-up, as well as referral of at-risk mothers for further support. In addition, SAM children with medical complications, under-five children with common childhood illness and medical complications, and pregnant women detected with complications or at risk of complications will be referred to upper health facilities for further diagnoses and medical support through the cash for health and nutrition support approach. Beneficiaries eligible for cash for health and nutrition service will be selected as per national guidelines and guidance from different technical working groups, as well as AAH Standard of Procedures (SoP) for cash for health/cash for nutrition. SAM children with complications or identified with danger IMNCI consultation and PLWs identified with danger signs during the antenatal care consultations will be benefited from the cash for health/cash for nutrition service. In addition, AAH will ensure capacity building and technical support to Ataturk, Indra Gandhi, and Maiwand hospital TFUs ran by the government in Kabul urban area to enhance the service quality and ensure that the TFUs meet the increasing demands through formal training, on the job capacity building and regular monitoring of the TFU program services. AAH has planned to conduct a National Nutrition SMART Survey under AHF 1st standard allocation on separate proposal code AFG-21/3481/SA1/N/INGO/21021. However, the NSS sample size is calculated per region/domain (8 domains) and does not include province-specific results. Therefore, AAH will conduct 1 SMART survey in the province as part of a baseline assessment to have a better understanding of the current nutrition status within the target catchment population, taking into account the current increasing malnutrition trend to safeguard timely informed programmatic decisions.Action Contre la FaimAction Contre la FaimAfghanistan Humanitarian FundReshma AZMIDeputy Country Director+93(0)798900526dcd@actionagainsthunger.orgKabul34.53333300 69.16666700Nutrition400123.74400123.74Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAction Contre la Faim200061.87Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAction Contre la Faim200061.87Action Contre la FaimUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/N/NGO/20991United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsProposed project in Zabul is to improve nutritional status of mothers and children integrated with primary health care services including OPD consultation, ANC/PNC and RCCE for health promotion and diseases prevention.

The project mainly focuses on children under five years and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) through six mobile health and nutrition teams (MHNTs), two in Panjshir and four in Parwan provinces. These MHNTs will provide nutrition screening, growth monitoring, IYCF counseling to PLWs, treatment of SAM (MUAC less than 11.5 or WHZ less than -3SD) and MAM (MUAC between 11.5 and 12.5 cm or WHZ between -3SD and -2SD) cases, micronutrient supplementation, and referral of severely acute malnutrition to a comprehensive nutrition center. Also, the MHNTs provide ANC, PNC, promotion of institutional delivery, IMCI, and immunization services by the trained midwife, nurse, and vaccinator in the catchment areas of each service delivery point. The MHT structure consists of a Male doctor/nurse, a nutrition counselor, a midwife, and a vaccinator to cover all the services provides by the MHNTs. The project management team (project officer, supervisor, and operation officer) can efficiently and transparently manage the project with the support and liaison of CAF-OPHA's management team. Required equipment, medical and non -medical supply, ambulance, IEC, and health/nutrition promotion materials will be provided to the project. Simultaneously, we will further support the referral of severely ill cases from the community to the nearest health facilities. Also, CAF-OPHA builds and maintains close coordination with the public health directorate of the two provinces by signing MOUs. As per the comments of AHF review committee, we coordinated with OCCD for deployment of MHNTs in Panjshir districts to prevent the overlaps. Also, we revised the scope of services (removed psychosocial counselor) at the MHNTs based on MHNT guideline and committee comments. We will hire vehicles to provide mobile services for the teams. As a cross-cutting matter in this assignment, CAF-OPHA will consider the minimum gender marker code within the proposed projects. We will ensure that gender equality and gender awareness activities are mainstreamed within the scope of the project. CAF-OPHA conducts regular supervision, monitoring, coaching, and mentoring of the MHNTs to ensure the quality of services as per the standards and project requirements. Accordingly, women, men, boys, and girls of all ages including the people with disability will benefit equally from the proposed interventions. A total of 129,718 individuals in the host communities of Parwan and Panjshir provinces will directly benefit from the project. This figure consists of 53129 males over five and 51574 females over five for OPD services, 2617 boys and girls under one years for vaccination, 7069 caregivers of children 0-23 for IYCF, 3211 children 6-59 months for SAM, 4279 children 6-59 for MAM, 2185 PLWs for acute malnutrition, and 5654 children 6-59 for MMNPs.

Meanwhile, the activities will be coordinated with BPHS Health Facilities at the mentioned districts. in the specified provinces With the given prioritize SAF will consider Routine surveillance of and response to COVID-19, MAM, SAM and IYCF Nutrition for under 5 and pregnant and lactating women, AWD, measles and other diseases. The project management team (project officer, project assistant and finance officer based in the provincial office and one project focal point based in Kabul) will have the capability to efficiently and transparently manage the project with the help of management team of SAF at the central and provincial levels. Required IEC and health promotion materials will be distributed among the targeted population (IDPs) by the project staff at the service delivery points. Simultaneously, functional referral mechanisms among the CHWs-CHS-MHT and nearest health facilities will be established. SAF will also formulate close coordination with authorities of the provincial hospital in the province by signing MOUs with Sarepul and Samangan provincial hospitals. As part of this assignment SAF will consider the minimum gender marker code (1) within the proposed projects. SAF will ensure that gender equality and gender awareness activities are mainstreamed within the scope of project. Accordingly, the women, men, boys and girls of all ages will benefit equally from the proposed interventions. A total of 6080 individuals in the IDPs communities will directly benefit from health cluster of the project. However, the 21653 beneficiaries in all 2 provinces will benefit from the services provided Health and nutrition clusters.

Based on combined GAM rates amp screening proxy GAM rates ranges from 8% to 34%, with 18 out of 34 provinces gt15%. Combination of drought, Food insecurity, weak access to health services, Covid 19, Economic crisis, high morbidities are the drivers which further deteriorating the nutrition situation in the country. According to the recent 2021 Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), the food security situation in Afghanistan is dire, with more than half the population– 22.8 million people considered as food insecure. The Nutrition Cluster estimates at least 3.9 million people need acute malnutrition treatment services in 2021, including one million children under five with severe acute malnutrition (SAM), 2.2 million children under five with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), and 0.7 million pregnant and lactating women (PLW) with acute malnutrition. Given the high needs resulting from the above circumstances, coupled with limited resources to address these needs in a comprehensive manner, the nutrition cluster in Afghanistan prioritized the most affected provinces considered to harbour the highest burden and or at risk of worsening malnutrition. These provinces are considered to be exposed to high malnutrition rates, food insecurity at IPC level 3 and above, low coverage of acute malnutrition treatment programmes, and high risk of being affected by drought. The nutrition cluster therefore plans to strengthen treatment interventions in these locations. Therefore, as part of a broader nutrition cluster response, WFP in collaboration with UNICEF and in partnership with relevant BPHS and none-BPHS NGOs provides nutrition treatment services to moderately malnourished children and PLW to rehabilitate their nutritional status and prevent them from further deterioration to severe malnutrition. As the existing resources may not be sufficient to meet the increasing and emerging needs as a result of the drought, inadequate health services and economic crises, the funding from AHF 2021 1st standard allocation will be used to cover the needs in the prioritized locations. This proposal focuses on the treatment of moderate acute malnutrition in children and PLW (Pregnant and Lactating Women) in the prioritized provinces using specialize nutritious foods (SNFs). With the US$ 3,587,735 from 2021 1st Standard Allocation, WFP will treat 59,527 MAM children aged 6-59 months using 535.7 MT of AchaMum @ 100 g/child/day and 20,270 pregnant and lactating women using 760.1. MT of Super Cereal (wheat soya blend with sugar @ 250 g/person/day in the 5 prioritized provinces (Samanagan, Badakhshan, Badghis, Parwan and Saripul provinces). As soon as the funding proposal is approved, WFP will take advantage of its Global Commodity Management facility for advance financing and start commodity procurement to reduce procurement lead time to ensure that children and PLW receive treatment in a timely manner. Additionally, possibly WFP will take commodity loans from existing stocks to cover the immediate needs in the AHF targeted locations, which upon arrival of AHF related commodity the loan will be repaid.

These factors, combined with the pause of funding for health and nutrition services in the country, have driven the need for lifesaving nutrition services, especially for children aged under-five. The Nutrition Cluster has identified seven provinces (Badakhshan, Badghis, Hilmand, Panjshir, Parwan, Samangan and Sar-e-pul) as drought and conflict affected areas with pre-existing emergency levels of acute malnutrition (more than 15% and/ or more than 10% with presence of aggravating factors), which require continued provision of nutrition services. UNICEF, the sole provider of Ready-To-Use-Therapeutic-Food (RUTF) in the country, is forecasting a shortage of RUTF and therapeutic milk (F-75, F-100 and Resomal) for affected areas in the second quarter of 2022. To maintain the current scale of services in the target areas with an acceptable level of treatment coverage, UNICEF is seeking the support of the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund (AHF) to support provision of lifesaving therapeutic supplies (RUTF and therapeutic milk) to secure Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) treatment services for a total of 28,076 children (15,442 girls and 12,634 boys) in the target provinces, using the AHF-supported supplies to replenish existing stocks. UNICEF will procure the therapeutic supplies (RUTF and Therapeutic Milk) through its Supply Division. Supplies will be stored at national and regional UNICEF warehouses and will be distributed to the implementing partners (IPs) through the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) on a quarterly basis. UNICEF will use complementary funding sources, including but not limited to the last AHF allocation, to provide therapeutic supplies to complement the lifesaving treatment services addressing the needs of children with SAM with medical complications in hospitals in the target districts in the seven target provinces. Other funding sources will support outpatient and inpatient treatment of SAM, which are integral components of the Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) approach, that will be delivered by the Basic Package of Health Services/ Essential Package of Hospital Services (BPHS/ EPHS) and humanitarian implementing partners through fixed health facilities and mobile teams. Furthermore, SAM treatment will be provided simultaneously with the treatment of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) supported by World Food Programme (WFP), where applicable.United Nations Children's FundUnited Nations Children's FundAfghanistan Humanitarian FundMelanie GalvinChief of Nutrition0799987620mgalvin@unicef.orgRichard LedburyResource Mobilization Manager0799987439rledbury@unicef.orgAlice AkungaDeputy Representative0799987101aakunga@unicef.orgBadakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Badghis35.16713390 63.76953840Hilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Panjsher35.88333300 69.11666700Parwan34.96309770 68.81088490Samangan35.98072960 67.57085360Sar-e-Pul35.67074730 66.04635340Nutrition2213064.302213064.30Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's Fund2213064.30Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's FundXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/N-H/INGO/20965United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe proposed project is designed in response to AHF 1st Standard Allocation 2021 to expand access to emergency life-saving integrated nutrition and basic health services in underserved and hardest-to-reach locations in Nuristan, Parwan, and Kabul provinces. HNI-TPO is a Netherland-based international organization working in Afghanistan since 1994 in health, nutrition, MHPSS, communicable disease control, GBV, humanitarian services, capacity building, and research. HNI-TPO has been present in the project target provinces since its operations in Afghanistan. HNI-TPO is implementing the Sehatmandi project in the eastern provinces, AHF humanitarian project in Kabul, and Health Response to GBV project in Parwan province. To address the needs and vulnerabilities of people, particularly children and women, in underserved and hardest-to-reach areas in selected districts of Nuristan, Parwan, and Kabul provinces, The proposed project will provide services through a total of 10 Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNTs) and health facility-based nutrition services through the placement of nutrition nurse and food distributor. In Nuristan province, 6 MHNTs will provide integrated nutrition services in selected villages of Kamdesh, Noorgram, Doab, Wama, Want-Waigal, and Parun districts. In Parwan province, 4 MHNTs will provide integrated nutrition services in selected villages of Salang, Kohi Safi, Siagard, and Shinwari districts. In Kabul province, health facility-based nutrition services will be provided through the placement of nutrition nurses and food distributors in 10 selected urban health facilities in Kabul city consisting of Rahman Mena DH, Sar-e-Kotal DH, Tani Kot DH, Qasaba CHC+, Khwaja Mosafer CHC+, Qale Muslim CHC+, Hood Khail CHC+, Asmaee CHC, Charaee Qambar CHC, Hesa Awal Khair Khana CHC. In addition, the provision of winterization support to women and children who are targeted under the project for the management of acute malnutrition will also be part of the project activities. The identified women will be referred to the provincial ESNFI partner organization to provide winterization packages. Furthermore, to ensure the continuation of some nutrition activities in the target areas, the capacity of relevant staff (MD, nurse, and midwife) in stationery BPHS health facilities will be built through IMAM training. The Service Delivery Points (SDPs) for MHNTs in Nuristan, and Parwan provinces, and the existing urban health facilities in Kabul city have been identified through a rapid field assessment, consultation with PPHDs, nutrition regional sub-cluster representatives, BPHS implementers, and other nutrition stakeholders active in target provinces. The proposed project will provide emergency life-saving integrated nutrition services to 101,776 vulnerable people, including 7,894 men 31,330 women 31,874 boys and 30,678 girls. The project will be implemented by a dedicated team and supported by HNI-TPO country and provincial teams/offices. , Healthnet International and Transcultural Psychosocial OrganizationHealthnet International and Transcultural Psychosocial OrganizationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundDr. Muhammad Naseem NaeemCountry Director +93788891688naseem@healthnettpoaf.orgDr. Najeebullah Alizoi Program Director+93789880821najeeb@healthnettpoaf.orgMr. Suleman ZaheerFinancial Coordinator+93788844072suleman@hntpo.org.afKabul34.53333300 69.16666700Nuristan35.32502230 70.90712360Parwan34.96309770 68.81088490HealthNutrition632700.63632700.63Afghanistan Humanitarian FundHealthnet International and Transcultural Psychosocial Organization506160.50Afghanistan Humanitarian FundHealthnet International and Transcultural Psychosocial OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/N-H/NGO/20935United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsOrganization for Community Coordination and Development (OCCD) is a non-profit, non-governmental, non-political and independent organization reregistered with the Ministry of Economy and Ministry of Public Health. OCCD is already a BPHS implementing institution which means that it is accredited already with MoPH and meets all requirements for large scale projects implementation.

More recently with the fall of the established government to the Taliban, and the exit of foreign support and militaries previously helping to ensure stability—additional challenges are being faced. Millions of people do not have the resources to obtain enough nutritious food to lead healthy lives consistently. Conflict and armed fighting continues to expose civilians, particularly women and children, to daily risks, population displacement (leading to reduced access to WASH services and basic health care), and disease outbreaks, constraining the country’s unstable economy. Even before the collapse of the Afghanistan government, the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) for Afghanistan 2021, lists rural communities as having limited access to safe water supply as well as poor sanitation and hygiene practices. The same report ranks 30% of both Ghor and Faryab provinces in IPC 4 emergency with IPC projections for Nov 2021 - Mar 2022 anticipating increases of more than 20,000 and 141,000 addition people in IPC4/ IPC3 respectively in Ghor and Faryab combined. According to the rapid drought assessment by World Vision in Badghis, Ghor, Faryab 53% and Herat 96% of communities assessed reported a drop in water levels and stated that their sources of water had dried up due to drought this year. Pressure on water sources negatively affects household water availability and hygiene practices. Poor hygiene conditions have long contributed to communicable diseases in Afghanistan, with diarrheal disease attributed to be the second most common cause of death for children under the age of five, after acute respiratory infections, which is highly attributed to limited access to basic hygiene and sanitation facilities. To respond to this dire situation, the proposed response will see approximately 16,520 people (4020 males, 4184 females, 4136 boys and 4180 girls) from highly affected districts in Ghor and Faryab supported with emergency lifesaving WASH assistance. Access to safe water, basic sanitation and hygiene will be improved through construction of 7 solar powered water systems (includes 02 RO systems) benefitting16,520 people (4020 males, 4184 females, 4136 boys and 4180 girls). Water quality testing and surveillance of water systems (at least 3 tests per water system), establishment and training of 7 water management committees on operation and maintenance of the systems will be done to ensure water safety as per WHO/ANSA standards and sustainability of water systems. Hygiene promotion (awareness creation sessions) and distribution of hygiene kits will also be conducted to promote good hygiene practices such as handwashing with soap coupled with COVID-19 prevention messages as a means to reduce the risk of infection for beneficiaries in target locations. Responding to the one of standard allocation themes (Theme 1: Expanded humanitarian access and response in underserved and hardest-to-reach locations) World Vision seeks to provide emergency lifesaving safe drinking water, improved sanitation and hygiene practices, diarrhea, AWD in some areas and malnutrition rates will decline, thus “saving lives in the areas of highest need” (HRP SO1). Provision of durable solar powered water supply networks and Reverse Osmosis systems to the target locations that are frequently exposed to drought and were affected by the recent conflict will ensure that "vulnerable people are supported to build their resilience" (HRP SO3). This being an emergency project, will see implementation of lifesaving activities for the first 6 months ( 15 Jan to 14 July 2022) while transitioning to recovery in the next period ( 15 July to 14th of October 2022).World Vision InternationalWorld Vision InternationalAfghanistan Humanitarian FundAsuntha CharlesNational Director+93 799-209-720Asuntha_Charles@wvi.orgJonathan ChifambaOperations Director+93 7994900407Jonathan-Chifamba@wvi.orgBiruk BeyenePrograms Director+93 797088426biruk_beyene@wvi.orgFaisal DaneshFinance/Grants Manager+93 792 494 002Faisal_Danesh@wvi.orgFaraidoon OsmaniGAM Manager+93 799861573Faraidoon_Osmani@wvi.orgFaryab36.07956130 64.90595500Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Water, Sanitation and Hygiene576739.66217789.80794529.46Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Vision International476717.68Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Vision International317811.78Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Vision International86194.91World Vision InternationalUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/WASH/INGO/20876United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe prolonged multiple crises unfolding in Afghanistan have had devastating effects on people’s ability to meet their daily needs and to cope with sudden shocks. The 2021 harvest is expected to be below average and the next lean season to be more intense and arrive earlier, leading to further deterioration in the food security situation across the country because the country is facing the second drought in four years and the worst of its kind in 27 years (OCHA). Unlike the last drought that was relatively localized in the western region, the current drought is impacting one-third of the country (all targeted provinces considered to be at medium risk as per WASH Cluster) (WASH Cluster Drought Response). Drought is not only a food security crisis – the drop-down of safe drinking water and water for handwashing have led to the spread of the AWD outbreak, particularly affecting children (ICCT). Increasing prices and the inability of people to find informal work due to the recent economic downturn may drive more people to move within and outside the country. While conflict is progressively becoming less of a driver, poverty is gradually rising as a key factor pushing households to displace (HNO 2022), hence households do not have the financial resources to rehabilitate water sources nor to procure the required hygienic items. The fourth wave of the COVID-19 epidemic is expected in the winter (IFRC) and five provinces have been affected by the AWD outbreak (WHO), thus the need to provide safe drinking water and hygiene education supported by the distribution of hygiene items. To respond to the above situation, DACAAR, in line with the AHF 1st Standard Allocation 2021, the Afghanistan Flash Appeal 2021 and the Joint Winterization Plan, as part of the proposed project, will provide WASH assistance to 46,665 affected people, as follow: a. Rehabilitation of 320 non-functional water points and 5 pipe scheme systems and in case some water points are beyond repair, construction of new water point. b. Distribution of 4,800 hygiene kits to targeted beneficiaries alongside the provision of hygiene education covering topics as COVID-19, AWD, personal hygiene, safe water transport and storage, handwashing and waste management. In addition, to strengthen hygiene practices and encourage handwashing with soap. c. Establishment of 2,400 handwashing facilities at the household level.

The country is facing the second drought in four years and the worst of its kind in 27 years. Unlike the last drought that was relatively localized in the western region, the current drought is impacting one-third of the country (all targeted provinces considered to be at medium risk as per WASH Cluster) (WASH Cluster Drought Response). Recent political developments with financial restrictions have pushed Afghanistan into an economic crisis. This had immediate repercussions across an economy already facing daunting development challenges (ECHO HIP). The increased poverty and lack of financial means will force many households to prioritize expenses, increasing the likelihood of insufficient hygiene items being bought by families in need. Proper hygiene education and availability of hygiene items are strictly linked with good health conditions because the use of soap and safe water storage capabilities are the best preventive measures for transmissible diseases. The lack of hygiene and functioning water systems has led to the recent outbreak of AWD that is involving communities in Kabul, Kapisa, Zabul, Kandahar, and Laghman provinces (WHO). COVID-19 continues to be a serious threat in Afghanistan. Different waves of the pandemic have torn through the country with the arrival of new variants and poor preventative measures in place. As of 5 December 2021, more than 157,000 COVID-19 cases were confirmed across Afghanistan and some 7312 deaths were reported (WHO). DACAAR proposed project aims to directly contribute to the prevention and containment of the COVID 19 and AWD outbreaks and to improve the overall hygiene conditions of at-risk populations by procuring, prepositioning, and making available WASH supplies as a core WASH pipeline supply in support of WASH Cluster partners. Given that this is a stockpiling project and the distribution of the supplies will be undertaken by other WASH partners, the target beneficiaries will not be assessed by DACAAR but by partners. DACAAR will report on the beneficiaries based on reports from WASH partners who accessed the stockpiles. DACAAR will procure and preposition 10,600 Hygiene Kits that will empower WASH Cluster partners to reach 74,200 people in need. DACAAR will also procure 10,600 kettles to boil water and 5,300 home-based handwashing stations. The Hygiene kits will be stocked in the following six strategic geographical hubs: Kabul Kandahar city Herat city Mazar-e-Sharif Kunduz city and Jalalabad with the potential of being moved to locations where the need is greatest. DACAAR will maintain sufficient flexibility to transfer supplies among the warehouses. Partners can readily access available stock of hygiene kits for use in their response projects based on approval from the WASH Cluster. Procurement of the items will be performed as part of a comprehensive Invitation to Bid (ITB) per each required unit, processed following DACAAR procurement procedures (attached) which is in line with AHF procurement regulations. The ITB process will include a market assessment enabling DACAAR to identify and contract the cheapest bidder who can deliver the highest quality of the required items. Procured items will be checked stringently to ensure the highest quality (e.g. given recent lessons learned from the sector on fake Dettol soap in the market). The following will be performed during the ITB to ensure the quality of the items procured - Physical Description: Based on experience and technical know-how, the assigned technical colleagues know the physical attribute of the quality required and check the delivered units accordingly. - Industrial Standards Certificate/ Proving Documents: - The bidders are usually asked for the required documents. - Legal Import: DACAAR buys legally imported items having proper custom.

This package of WASH services will target conflict-induced IDP (Internally Displaced People) and drought-affected communities in four hard-to-reach districts, namely Chemtal, Dawlat Abad and Nar-e-Shahi districts in Balkh province and Mehterlam district in Laghman province. This package of services is designed based on IMC’s coordination with PRRD and site visit findings conducted in these districts during November 2021 in collaboration with WASH Cluster members, local partners including DACAAR, NRC, ACTED, PU AMI, etc, authorities, and community members. The project aims to provide WASH services to a total of 18,550 individuals, including 5,750 women, 5,380 men, 3,525 boys, 3,895 girls from diverse social groups. The services under this package will provide safe drinking water, improve water quantity and quality in the target districts, establish water management committees and train their members, and promote safe hygiene practices. These services will help individuals and families to access, utilize and manage water in their communities and practice proper hygiene who have otherwise been forced to choose negative coping strategies such as drinking water from unprotected sources and adopting unsafe hygiene behaviors. This project will last 10 months, based on IMC experience in related field, the targeted activities require the cited timeframe to have quality work, smoothly and coordinated with all relevant departments with due consideration of seasonal risk. The project required time for recruitment process of staff, technical assessment, and design, furthermore, according to procurement policy to find qualified vender, the design water supply systems will be advertised through ACBAR website in addition, time is required for IMC HQ review and approval. As winter is arrived, the construction work may delay in the targeted locations especially in Balkh province where witness of heavy rainfalls and temperature drops up-to frost during winter season, therefore, technical recommendation related construction work does not permit to work under these circumstances. In addition, some other issues i.e. deployment of materials, unstable condition in the country will affect the project timeframe. According to cited reasons, IMC consider having 10 months’ timeframe for the implementation of the project and requires around a $743,990.73 budget. Below, a summary of the specific activities to be carried out under this project is provided. Construction of 7 solar-powered pipe schemes (1 in Chemtal, 3 in Dawlat Abad, 1 in Nahe-e-Shahi, and 2 Mehterlam) Provision of 2,650 water kits for collection and safe storage of water and distribution of water treatment chemicals to the communities (at household level) Establish and train 7 water management committees to give the communities a sense of ownership and responsibility for project activities and maintain good communication among all stakeholders. Training of community members as mechanics for regular maintenance of pipe schemes and other WASH infrastructure after the project ends Conducting 3 rounds of hygiene awareness sessions and conduct sanitation campaign Conduct baseline and end line KAP survey The intervention will take specific care to implement the program per the Sphere standard, ensuring safe access for vulnerable groups, such as women and girls, to the services.

The water and sanitation situation in Afghanistan is also one of the worst in the world with 68% of Afghans without access to adequate sanitation facilities and according to UNICEF, nearly 45% are still using unimproved water sources. The project proposes an appropriate and well-timed response to address immediate needs of extremely vulnerable affected IDPs and host communities in Gardez and Mirzaka Districts (Sayed Karam) of Paktia and Mahamud e Raqi, Kapisa central district of Kapisa Provinces through provision of adequate and sustainable WASH services at household and community-level. The project aims to improve access to safe water, improve sanitation, provision of hygiene items, hygiene promotion and ensure community engagement to improve hygiene practices to the most vulnerable and marginalized IDPs and host communities in underserved communities. The humanitarian response covers a critical gap in Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) potentially affected areas by providing or expanding existing WASH facilities in the affected communities. In addition, communities near to protracted IDPs whose WASH facilities are overstretched will be supported though WASH services provision. The project is aligned with the AHF Standard Allocation Response Strategy 2021 1st RA and has been coordinated through relevant fora, DACCAR and notably the Afghanistan WASH Cluster. Targeting 3400 vulnerable households (23,800 individuals) in Mahmud e Raqi district of Kapisa and Gardez and Mirzaka (Sayed Karam) districts of Paktia Provinces. NRC proposes to rehabilitate/upgrade 180 existing water sources (wells, hand pumps, and gravity-fed networks, solar-pumping etc.) through contractual services. In addition, 3400 vulnerable families will be supported hygiene kits, and chlorination as well AWD affected families will be support with mini WASH package which include rehabilitation or construction of household latrines. The items will be provided though in-kind distribution to the targeted households. All of the WASH project hard interventions will be complemented with soft component of hygiene promotion by engaging of diverse community individuals and groups with emphasis on women and girls’ participation. The hygiene promotion activities will be specifically focusing on prevention of AWD and COVID-19. The project will implement gender sensitive WASH facilities and educate women and girls on good personal hygiene practices to prevent personal WASH related diseases. The project will also seek to reduce the effect of poor WASH and malnutrition that lead to health acquired infections and transmission of diseases including cholera/AWD and COVID-19 within target communities. The project activities will be implemented by existing trained WASH team composed of National WASH Engineer and Hygiene Promoter, having a good experience working in the area with both IDPs and host communities. They will be supported by WASH Project Coordinator, WASH Specialist and WASH Advisor based in Kabul.Norwegian Refugee CouncilNorwegian Refugee CouncilAfghanistan Humanitarian FundMuhammad QasimActing Head of Programme+93 728973640muhammad.qasim@nrc.no Rosemary MutieGrants Manager+93 728 932070 rosemary.mutie@nrc.noKapisa34.98105720 69.62145620Paktya33.70619900 69.38310790Water, Sanitation and Hygiene497273.76497273.76Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Refugee Council397819.01Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Refugee Council80883.84Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Refugee CouncilXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/WASH/INGO/20922United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSince the last severe drought that Afghanistan faced in 2018, the population has been affected by the spread of COVID-19, recurrent natural disasters, increasing poverty and economic needs, and an intense conflict between the former government and the IEA. Now, Afghanistan is experiencing the devastating effects of a drought declared in June of 2021 but due to conflict, the change of authorities, financial systems collapse, security/political instability, many rural areas were unable to prepare for the drought as the harsh winter conditions approach. In late 2021, many households are still struggling to ensure consistent safe sources of drinking water while sanitation and hygiene conditions fall below the required levels to protect against COVID-19. In this context, this 6-month intervention aims to provide WASH services to 90,062 individuals across Balkh, Baghlan and Kunduz. ACTED aims to increase the supply and quality of water accessible to priority districts in these provinces through rehabilitation works to existing water sources and networks to ensure provision of safe water. Furthermore, ACTED will construct a number of new water sources in locations where gaps in water provision exist. All constructed and rehabilitated water sources and networks will be tested to ensure quality of the water. ACTED will rehabilitate 240 boreholes in Balkh with 80 boreholes per targeted district (Dawlatabad, Char Bolak, Chemtal) rehabilitated to reach 42,000 individuals. In Kunduz, ACTED will rehabilitate 85 wells across 6 districts (Dasht-e-Archi, Chahardara, Khan Abad, Aliabad, Imam Sahib, Qala-e-Zal) providing 14,875 individuals with more consistent provision of safe water. ACTED will also rehabilitate 3 water networks in Kunduz’s Khanabad (2 networks) and Aliabad (1 network) districts serving 650 HH. In Baghlan, ACTED will rehabilitate 2 existing water networks in Nahrin and Burka districts providing 1,000 HH with more consistent water supply. ACTED will construct new water supply infrastructure in Baghlan and Balkh including new wells, solar pumps and solar powered drinking water systems. In Baghlan, ACTED will construct 4 new wells in 4 villages across 2 districts, Dahn-e-Ghori and Baghlan Jadid. In Dahn-e-Ghori, Haji Naim village and Haji Habib, 340 HH will benefit from a newly constructed well connected to a solar pump system. In Baghlan Jadid, 380 HH in Temorian and Lagi ha villages will each receive a new well connected to a water supply system with a solar pump. ACTED will establish 6 solar powered drinking water systems with tap stands connected to a reservoir to service 5 highschools and 1 health centre in Balkh district, Balkh province. This will benefit an estimated 14,500 individuals that use these facilities. ACTED will install latrines for 300 HH in Kunduz targeting 6 districts (Dasht e Archi, Khanabad, Imam Sahib, Qala e Zal, Chahardara, Aliabad) with 50 latrines per district. In addition to the latrine construction, ACTED will conduct a hygiene promotion training and hygiene kit distribution for all targeted HHs to improve their hygiene situation. This will benefit 2,100 individuals in 6 districts. All activities will be adapted to the COVID-19 context to ensure the safety of staff and beneficiaries and to disseminate COVID-19 prevention measures. Risks related to access and community acceptance are mitigated by ACTED’s strong community involvement and acceptance from years of implementing in North and North Eastern Afghanistan. In addition to ACTED’s longstanding presence in the region, adherence to the policy of hiring staff from the local area as much as possible to promote acceptance, contextual awareness and support the longevity of the project. ACTED has coordinated with other WASH NGOs implementing in the targeted districts to ensure there is no duplication of activities.

The humanitarian context as summarized by the call for this allocation indicates that up to 66% of the country’s population is in a critical/catastrophic situation for water scarcity with high demand for clean water and hygiene with increased strain existing water supply facilities both in urban and rural settings as result population movements (rural to urban and returnees to rural settings), poor condition of the existing infrastructure owing to years of under investment and the effects of drought. The proposed actions in this project seeks to contribute towards SOP 1 of the HRP 2018/2020 by targeting hard hardest to reach areas while implementing activities as captured under theme 1 of this allocation vision. IRC Afghanistan proposes 6 months WASH response for the conflict affected communities in Badghis and Laghman Provinces project who are eligible for . activities under theme 1 of the vision allocation. The project seeks to strengthen access to safe drinking water by rehabilitating existing water systems/sources, constructing new ones in locations where no alternative safe source is available to the communities, and strengthening water source management mechanisms for the rehabilitated/constructed water sources by the target communities. A hygiene promotion component tailored to the needs of men, women, boys, and girls will also be implemented to raise awareness amongst the communities with a strong emphasis on AWD/Cholera prevention. Further targeted households considered at most at risk (e.g., households with malnourished cases, households with suspected AWD cases based on self-reporting, households with AWD cases discharged recently from health facilities, households with elderly members etc.) of AWD/Cholera infections will also benefit from distribution of hygiene and water kits. The project will be targeted in Badghis province covering Ab Kamari, Bala Murghab, and Qadis districts, and Alingur, and Alishang districts in Laghaman province. Considering the recent Government takeover by the Taliban, IRC will adhere to joint operating principles and will adopt a careful approach while interacting and coordinating with other humanitarian actors in the area. The target local communities will be mobilized and engaged exclusively from the onset. The hygiene promotion sessions for women and girls will be conducted at household level in accordance with the local culture. IRC will ensure that issues of protection and Gender Based Violence related to in adequate water access are addressed and mainstreamed through the project period by ensuring awareness raising on equal access to WASH Services for men, women, boys, and girls. IRC will ensure that locally available technology is used, and members of the community are trained on operation and maintenance of the infrastructure installed. The project will directly reach out to 63,000 community members whilst 30% of them will be Internally displaced persons (IDPs).

The 2021 harvest is expected to be below average and the next lean season to be more intense and arrive earlier, leading to further deterioration in the food security situation across the country because the country is facing the second drought in four years and the worst of its kind in 27 years (OCHA). Unlike the last drought that was relatively localized in the western region, the current drought is impacting one-third of the country (all targeted provinces considered to be at medium risk as per WASH Cluster) (WASH Cluster Drought Response). Drought is not only a food security crisis – the drop-down of safe drinking water and water for handwashing have led to the spread of the AWD outbreak, particularly affecting children (ICCT). Increasing prices and the inability of people to find informal work due to the recent economic downturn may drive more people to move within and outside the country. While conflict is progressively becoming less of a driver, poverty is gradually rising as a key factor pushing households to displace (HNO 2022), hence households do not have the financial resources to rehabilitate water sources nor to procure the required hygienic items. The fourth wave of the COVID-19 epidemic is expected in the winter (IFRC) and five provinces have been affected by the AWD outbreak (WHO), thus the need to provide safe drinking water and hygiene education supported by the distribution of hygiene items. In line with the AHF 1st Standard Allocation 2021, the Afghanistan Flash Appeal 2021 and the Joint Winterization Plan, the proposed project will provide WASH assistance to 51,450 affected people, as follow: a. Rehabilitation of 450 non-functional water points and 3 pipe scheme systems and in case some water points are beyond repair, construction of new water point. b. Distribution of 7,350 hygiene kits to targeted beneficiaries alongside the provision of hygiene education covering topics such as COVID-19, AWD, personal hygiene, safe water collection and storage, handwashing and waste management in addition to strengthening hygiene practices and encouraging handwashing with soap. c. Establish 8 handwashing facilities in public spaces. d. Establish DACAAR-run water surveillance early warning system for the targeted provinces e. Undertake regular shock chlorination of 800 unprotected wells.

The intervention also aligns with the WASH cluster response plan in the revised HRP 2021, where Nangarhar province is critical WASH needs and have limited access to WASH services. When beginning the project activities, NCA will cross-check the absence of overlap with other organizations in order to avoid duplication of activities in targeted locations. NCA's six-month WASH program will provide critical WASH services to the conflict, and drought-affected population, IDPs and underserved host communities in Surkhrod and Chaparhar Districts of Nangarhar province. The response will target Dawlatzai, Salozai, Qaratak, and Guldara communities in Chaparhar, and Tatang Kala Shahi and Bar Kakrak communities in Surkhrod district. The intervention will reach 25,820 IDPs (Men 9,218, Women 9,489 Boys 3,163 and Girls 3,950) and vulnerable host communities in the targeted locations. The proposed intervention aims to: 1) improve access of beneficiaries to a safe water supply 2) focus on influencing a change in sanitation behaviour through CLTS approaches and community participation resulting in the reduction of open defecation in target communities and 3) promote safe hygiene practices through proper handwashing. NCA and its partner will undertake WASH activities, including the construction of solar-powered pipe schemes, rehabilitation and maintenance of existing dysfunctional wells and water and sanitation systems (at two health centres and four public schools), water quality testing and the establishment and or support capacity of existing WASH Committees and authorities to operate, repair and manage water structures. Simultaneously, new wells will be established in areas where no other sources of water sources are available. The project will also include a robust capacity-building component for local authorities, IDP and host community members, and NCA and partner staff, involving training and support to undertake their WASH activities effectively. Hygiene Promoters will be engaged and supported to undertake hygiene promotion practices leading to health risk reduction. Hygiene sessions will focus on preventing diarrhea, discouraging open defecation, proper household waste management, wash handing with soap and water, menstrual hygiene, and household level water treatment. Two thousand families will receive vouchers for hygiene kits. Considering that the targeted people visit the local market regularly and they buy most of their goods from the local market we assume that the voucher assistance is the appropriate option. Each of the selected HH will receive a commodity voucher for Hygiene kit as per the WASH Cluster standard, which they will redeem with the supplier assigned in each of the targeted locations. Each of the selected HH will receive voucher for Hygiene kit once throughout the whole project. The targeted communities will be mobilised through (CLTS) to eliminate open defecation. Target communities will be trained to conduct OD analysis, take corrective action, In the meantime, latrines will be rehabilitated or constructed in two health hospitals and 4 public schools to increase access to adequate sanitation facilities. This application is in partnership with NCA local NGO partner under NCA civil society strengthening strategy that aims to enhance the capacity of national civil society orgs.

The project will directly target 33,000 people across the five mentioned districts. Kunar is one of the most neglected provinces in terms of WASH and other aid services, that is why the project will add so much value and will ease the suffering of the communities who are facing the scarcity of clean drinking water, proper hygiene, and other. The project is demand-driven OAWCK conducted a rapid need assessment (November 23-27, 2021) in Ghazi Abad, Bar Kunar, Watapur, Chapa Dara, and Dangam districts to identify the critical needs aligned to the cluster allocation strategies. As a result of the assessment, the following were the critical needs: 1. Drinking Water Approximately 98% of people drink contaminated water Water reduced by 50% in the water sources People travel between 1-4 KMs to collect drinking water 75% of people bring water through donkeys while 25% bring it on their shoulders 80% children while 20% women and men are responsible for collecting water 50% of people bring drinking water daily while 50% bring it on a weekly basis 85% of people do not wash their water reservoirs while 15% wash them every 3 months 90% of people do not filter water before drinking 2. Hygiene: Almost 100% of people were not aware of proper hygiene 92% of people use open air for defecation while 8% have their own latrine 90% of people do not wash their hands while 10% wash their hands after going to the toilets 25% of people refer to local health facilities, 50% use homeopaths, 20% buy medicine on their own, while 5% do not do anything if they fall sick 90% of people wash their clothes once in two weeks while 10% do it on a weekly basis 30% of people do not put their blankets/quilts under the sun for germicide, 40% do it yearly, 20% quarterly, while 10% do it on monthly basis – this is a local method used for improving the hygiene of blankets/quilts used for sleeping. The project is designed to respond to the above needs of the target communities. The needs are also aligned to the allocation strategy to ensure that we not only respond to the critical needs of the communities, but also contribute to the overall goal of the WASH cluster, and the AHF/UNOCHA. Project activities will be: Repair 24 boreholes Construct 15 new boreholes Upgrade 15 public spaces Forming and Training 10 WASH Committees Conduct an anthropological study to understand the local water management decision-making process Distribute hygiene kits to 2000 households Distribute minimum WASH packages to 250 households having SAM/AWD Conduct post-distribution monitoring Conduct 100 sessions on hygiene promotion, open defecation-free communities, and GBV/Protection. OAWCK is a Kunar-based local organization that is active in the province for over a decade now. OAWCK has access, good reputations, good relations with target communities, local authorities, and is very much familiar with the local context, cultural norms, and sensitivities which all collectively will contribute to the successful implementation of this project.

The droughts caused prolonged poverty that contributes to a worsening humanitarian situation in Afghanistan. Over 18.4 million people require some form of humanitarian and protection assistance in 2021. As per the WASH Cluster strategy AHF 1st SA 2021, WASH is one of the crucial needs in the targeted districts. The IDP in these areas has further increased humanitarian needs during 2021. In Helmand and Zabul only a few NGOs are functional as there were hard to reach (HRT) districts, very deprived communities. CAHPO coordinated with WASH Cluster regional level, local authority to support drought and conflict-affected IDPs in the remote districts' access to water, hygiene promotion. inline with the WASH cluster strategy CAHPO intends to ensure the provision of emergency water amp hygiene promotion to people with critical needs. Hygiene promotion with focusing on handwashing and distribution of hygiene kits the WASH Cluster standard. The aims are to enhance the health, dignity, and protection of vulnerable families’ men, women, boys, and girls. The project target 1800 households or 12600 individuals who will have access to water and receive hygiene promotion training. For sustainability, local mechanics and caretakers will be trained in support of water points. Water Management Committees (WMCs) will be established and trained in separate female and male groups (by female amp male trainers) to keep the water points functional. These groups will carry out the management and maintenance responsibilities once the water points will be handed over. In order to make the intervention sustainable a small water user fee for the maintenance of the water system will be collected and administered. According to the WASH Cluster strategy, the activities prioritized include Water source surveillance and drying-up alerts, Supply systems rehabilitation or creation of new water points, Household water treatment promotion, Hygiene promotion focusing on handwashing, WASH for GBV risk mitigation, for the elderly, and people with disabilities. Provide awareness to beneficiaries on hygiene and DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction). Protection, gender, age, disability, and COVID-19 will be mainstreamed. Totally 3600 people (one female and one male per HH), including traditional Shura members, will participate directly. The coordination with all stakeholders, especially with DRRD, district government, and Shura members is very essential, and also with provincial authorities and DoE. Accountability to beneficiaries, CHS, and the AWAAZ complaint procedure will be instrumental to inform the beneficiaries. Conflict reduced due to political change of power, still, the people stay displaced in the project area. As per MoRR the displaced HHs still have insufficient income due to several reasons (droughts lead to the reduction of water for an all-purpose, prolonged conflict in the past, COVID-19, and lack of employment) and impacts on the availability of drinking water. People especially the poor in the rural areas are expected to be unable to prepare water for their consumption. The combination of past conflict, drought amp Covid-19, has led to over 35% of the population settling in urban areas. As mentioned by most people they can return after rehabilitation of the infrastructures particularly WASH which is the first need of the families. Community Shura members are actively allowed by the new administration to assist the process. In addition, the project team consults the activities with the NGO commission of the new administration. Though, some of the issues are sensitive but the project team will try to advocate for them, e.g. GBV, access to water points for all including women and girls.

These 9 districts are among the 32 districts identified by the WASH Cluster that have the most need for this support. The project is mainly providing facilities for WASH practice among the most vulnerable, disaster affected and suffering communities from high cases of water and vector borne diseases. Gender, protection and safe programming is mainstreamed in this project design, implementation, monitoring amp evaluation phases across all activities. The project will directly support (12985 household ) 90990 people (11357men 23927 women 27398 boys 28308 girls), in the targeted 9 districts by providing access to safe water for drinking amp domestic use, sanitary latrine to those who need the most and finally by motivating them to change their behavior regarding hygiene at personal, family amp community level. The proposed project will enable the population to reduce health risks from water amp vector borne diseases, reduce the treatment cost and loss of earning/employment due to illnesses, decrease time spent fetching water amp most critically it will reduce challenges to the health amp dignity of women and girls’ due to lack of sanitation facilities. The project will be implemented in close collaboration with other stakeholders including the WASH cluster, MRRD, local government, community leaders, other NGOs and most importantly women amp men in the target communities. Besides hygiene awareness, women and men in the target communities will be provided with awareness raising on their human rights, especially in context of gender based violence, the ways of reducing GBV and ways of asking for support in case of any protection concerns (referral). In coordination with WASH and Health clusters, HAPA will integrate community, school, household level messages in its Hygiene promotion sessions for increased awareness about COVID19 and preventative measures to prevent the communities from spread of the virus. HAPA will integrate conflict sensitivity into the action, by conducting context and conflict analysis of the target areas. This is especially important as the location of water sources and selection of households for sanitary latrines can create potential new conflict or exacerbating existing tensions. Field based project teams will monitor community responses, changes to the context during the project period and adapt activities to ensure conflict sensitivity where necessary. This will be done via tried and tested transparency, communication amp accountability mechanisms .HAPA will also disseminate and share COVID19 message with beneficiary for raising awareness in all the target location. The standard messages developed by WHO amp MoPH will be used in local languages. The project will be directly implemented by HAPA in Kandahar, Zabul and Helmand provinces and Project Manager and Monitoring Officer from Kandahar as well as Programme, MEAL, Finance, Logistics amp Security department staff will visit them regularly and on need. All the components of the project in Kandahar, Zabul and Helmand provinces will be implemented by HAPA based on its cross root level access to targeted provinces and its districts. HAPA based on its professional experience in the field of WASH and received number of trainings in the field of WASH and other sectors by WASH Cluster technical staff in the past. HAPA has years of presence in Kandahar, Zabul and Helmand provinces and gained good community acceptance. Through this project HAPA will improve localization of aid, building the capacity of local WASH committees, amp early capacitating under this project. In this HAPA will reach more number of beneficiaries in previous hard to access areas.

The recent escalation in conflict and resulting upheaval has only exacerbated needs and further complicated an extremely challenging operational context. Even prior to the events of 15 August, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan was one of the worst in the world. By the mid-year mark, nearly half of the population – some 18.4 million people – were already in need of humanitarian and protection assistance in 2021. Water scarcity further exacerbated due to diminished precipitation during the La Nina period. The government of Afghanistan officially declared a drought on June 22, 2021, where it was indicated that 30% of the country is exposed to drought, stating 50% to serious drought while 20% to moderate drought. So, it has become much difficult and challenging situation for conflict and drought affected communities to get access to safe water for drinking, washing and hygiene. In addition, poor hygiene conditions have much contributed to communicable diseases throughout the country, and the covid-19 outbreak has further deteriorated preexisting WASH needs since 2020. Lack of access to basic hygiene supplies and sanitation has placed communities at heightened risk of acute respiratory infections and diarrheal diseases specifically for children under five. If this situation is not addresses, it is much likely to exacerbate not only the spread of COVID-19 but also putting affected population at risk of other waterborne diseases. To respond to the worse WASH situation, AABRAR recently conducted a rapid assessment to know the living condition of vulnerable HHs in the targeted conflict and drought affected communities of Farah and Ghor. The assessment has used FGDs approach for collection of data and has completed in depth analysis of WASH needs. 540 participants (87% male, 13% female) and key informants have participated in the assessment among the key informants, 8% were persons with disabilities. The assessment findings show, that situation of WASH needs further deteriorated since beginning of 2021, several communities in the targeted hard-to-reach areas are in dire needs of WASH services, they don’t have enough soft water for drinking, their existing water facilities either damaged, broken or dried. Hygiene is also a challenge, targeted population do not observe hygiene practice due to their weak financial position and poor hygiene education. To respond to this worse situation, as part of this proposed project, AABRAR will provide lifesaving WASH support to total of 62,650 affected people (18,795 women, 18,795 men, 12,530 girls, 12,530 boys) in the targeted communities of districts Anar-Dara, Pushtrud and Pasaband of Farah and Ghor provinces. The major activities under this intervention will be as following. 1) provision of safe water for drinking, washing and personal hygiene through construction of 25 boreholes fitted with hand-pumps, construction of 8 boreholes with solar operating system and repair of 40 broken and non-functional water-wells in the targeted locations. 2) Procurement and distribution of 6,600 hygiene kits to most vulnerable people with the aim to promote good hygiene practices. 3) Along with distribution of hygiene kits distribution, hygiene education will be provided to the targeted affected communities, which will cover key topics including covid-19, personal hygiene, safe water transport and storage as well as handwashing with antiseptic soap. AABRAR coordinated with all key stakeholders including UNICEF, RI, WVI, PRRD and other organizations working in the region through the Sub-National Regional WASH Cluster with the aim to improve collaboration and to prevent the risk of overlaps in the targeted districts of Farah and Ghor provinces. AABRAR will continue coordination with the mentioned stakeholders throughout the project implementation period.

There is also high risk of deteriorating hygiene and sanitation conditions resulting in sharp increase in malnutrition and diseases such as cholera, particularly in urban areas and informal settlements The Cluster plans to expand water provision through deepening and rehabilitation of hand-dug wells and boreholes, repair and set-up of hand-pumps, rehabilitation of solar, gravity and mixed water systems. Water trucking will be carried out as a last resort. These activities will be delivered in 14 priority provinces identified with acute WASH needs. The Cluster will further provide hygiene kits, water kits and bath and latrine sets to new IDPs in areas of displacement Considering the criticality of the WASH situation ADEO recently conducted a rapid assessment and focus group discussion and to observe the living condition of vulnerable Households who are conflict and drought affected communities and IDPs, the assessment conducted in 6 districts of Balkh and Baghlan province, totally 117 HHs assessed as sample and 18 Focus Group Discussions has been conducted The assessment finding shows, that situation of WASH needs further worsens since beginning 2021, specifically in the remote and hard-to-reach areas of the targeted districts, many communities are in dire needs of WASH services, they do not have enough water for drinking, their existing water supplies either damaged or dried, hygiene is also a challenge, people do no observe hygiene practice due to poor hygiene education So, to take the priority gaps and needs into account, through this intervention ADEO will construct 30 boreholes fitted with hand pumps and rehabilitate and improve 120 destroyed/damaged hand pumps boreholes/dug wells in (Keshende, Zari and Sholgara) districts of Balkh and (Dahana-e-Ghori, Baghlan-e-Jadid and Burka) districts of Baghlan provinces, for providing safe water for drinking, washing and personal hygiene for totally 3750 HH (26250 Individual, Men 5250, Women 5250, Boy 7875 amp Girl 7875) Each water point well will cover maximum 25 HH (175 persons) with a flow rate of 7.5 liters per minute. The range of water table is different from one location to another and the estimated average water table is around 40 meters, which the wells in this project area will be deepening average of 60 meters. In Balkh districts (Keshendeh, Zari and Sholgara) the water table is a bit shallow up to 30 meters. In the Baghlan districts (Dahan-e-Ghori, Baghlan-e-Jadid and Burka) the water table is deeper between 32 to 52 meters. From the WASH national guide, the water column should not be less than 10 meters. Due to droughts, the water table is going down and down, thus the project estimated water should be more than 10 meters Similarly, to response to dire needs of drought affected and potential AWD affected population often have limited or no access to safe sources of water. ADEO as a last resort, where other interventions are not feasible in some communities, will provide safe water through trucking, to ensure lives are saved and dignity of affected populations is restored Furthermore, ADEO will conduct Hygiene Education Session for 3750 family and will distribute hygiene kits as per the standard of WASH Cluster to 3750 families During Hygiene Education sessions, ADEO will mainstream COVID-19 risk communication and awareness messaging and materials, including COVID-19 Kits and Hygiene promotion as well as gender-sensitive behavioral change messaging to positively influence expenditure choices and coping strategies. Since the Hygiene Education is conducted in an enclosed space, ADEO will limit the number of participant per session and will provide masks to participants as well as Hygiene promoters and also sanitizers will be procured for use by participants and staff during the sessionAfghanistan Development and Education OrganizationAfghanistan Development and Education OrganizationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundSayyed Abdul TawabManaging Director0093708602222naqshbandy@adeo.org.afMohammad NasimProgram Manager0093794002515program.adeo@yahoo.comNoorullhaqFinance Manager0093799448182finance.adeo@yahoo.comBaghlan35.80429470 69.28775350Balkh36.89091580 67.18944880Water, Sanitation and Hygiene494216.95494216.95Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghanistan Development and Education Organization247108.48Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghanistan Development and Education Organization247108.47Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAfghanistan Development and Education OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/WASH/NGO/21049United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsOrganization for Community Coordination and Development (OCCD) registered with the Ministry of Economy is a non-profit, non-governmental, non-political, and independent organization. OCCD is already an active WASH cluster member. The proposed action is informed by OCCD’s vast experience in humanitarian and development programs in the two-targeted provinces covered by this action. OCCD has been working in Kapisa and Badakhshan in the past decade delivering services to the underserved communities. OCCD has been working in Afghanistan without interruption since its establishment in 2013, focusing primarily on the health promotion domain. Nonetheless, the NGO has been also working in other sectors such as WASH, education, and livelihoods and has a proven record of accomplishment of working with disenfranchised communities such as IDPs and returnees. Through this project, resilience to disease and illness will be tackled through improvements in WASH infrastructure as well as through improving health and sanitation practices. OCCD aims to improve the health and wellbeing of at least 15,000 conflict and drought-affected people in the provinces of Badakhshan and Kapisa by reducing the prevalence of waterborne and water-related diseases, e.g. Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD), cholera, etc. This will be achieved by increasing access to sustainable safe water sources and improving sanitation and hygiene practices. The percentage of people with access to safe drinking water will increase from 40 percent to 65 percent, and 50 percent of households will have an improved understanding of good hygiene behaviors as opposed to the current baseline of less than 25 percent. In addition, the project aims to reach the result that up to 70 percent of target communities will eliminate open defecation. Work associated with this project will include: (1) Providing good quality and increased quantity of water through boreholes, equipped with hand pumps or mechanized systems with taps (2) Rehabilitation and improvement of drinking water systems such as wells, hand pumps (3) Conducting regular shock chlorination campaigns of unprotected wells and networks (4) Providing appropriate sanitation facilities in households, and schools (4) Conducting health/hygiene education and distribution of hygiene kits as a key element to promoting good health and well-being in the targeted communities and (5) Promoting the elimination of open defecation in target communities through CLTS technics. A full CLTS is not feasible due to the nature of the project (emergency) and the timeframe (only 6 months). In line with the WASH cluster’s “kite strategy”, to which OCCD is part, the project will continue to adapt the approaches facing the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes addressing the acute vulnerabilities in the context of the COVID-19 crisis, but also taking into account the current humanitarian crisis contributing to mitigating the COVID-19 transmission and stigmatization, and promoting and build-up on handwashing campaigns. The resilient WASH services will be delivered to women, men, boys, and girls living in hard-to-reach areas of Badakhshan as well as in overcrowded settlements of Kapisa. As stated above, lack of clean drinking water, absence of proper sanitation facilities, and lack of hygiene awareness as major factors contributing to the spread of diseases, which in turn negatively affect household resilience. The action will be implemented in a timeframe of 6 months. This timeframe includes the time required to: ensure access to safe and protected water sources improved through the construction of 20 water points and rehabilitation of 40 well safe potable water practices are ensured through the distribution of chlorine and Chlorination campaign and hygiene and sanitation awareness, including on waste management, is delivered to around 15,000 people across the target communities.Organization for Community Coordination and DevelopmentOrganization for Community Coordination and DevelopmentAfghanistan Humanitarian FundNoor Mohammad Noori Deputy General Director +93 (0) 794 088 633dm.director@occd.org.af Najeebullah Wahedi General Director +93 (0) 777 777 450gen.director@occd.org.af Badakhshan36.73477250 70.81199530Kapisa34.98105720 69.62145620Water, Sanitation and Hygiene480254.52480254.52Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Community Coordination and Development240127.26Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Community Coordination and Development240127.26Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Community Coordination and Development15527.36Organization for Community Coordination and DevelopmentUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/WASH/NGO/21156United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsIn Dec 2021, Rehabilitation Association for Afghanistan (RRAA), carried out a needs assessment on the urgent and unmet water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) need of 18 communities in the Dehrawood, Chora, and Trinkot districts of Uruzgan province, with the aim on contributing to reducing the incidence of child mortality and morbidity brought about by the water-borne disease. After assessment and data analysis number of 8 communities in three districts include (a),(Gara Yoghochar Shila, Qalach Blak Awal, and Liblan Usmanzai villages of Dehrawood district, (b) dang kalay, Hajyan kalay, harmistan Markazi kalay villages of Trinkot district and (c), Etefaq Masjed Kalay and Kalach Haji Ali Mohammad villages of Chora district are selected to be covered through this project because selected districts have no access to sufficient quantities of safe water, engage in open defecation (OD) due to the lack of suitable sanitation facilities, have little knowledge on proper hygiene and nutrition practices in emergency situations and to facilitate the provision of WASH services for 25% overcrowded settlements in the targeted villages. The proposed project will reach 20973 population including of men 6502, women 8807, boys 2936 and girls 2728 (2483 families) among which 5342 individuals are overcrowded population ensuring that they have: 1) improved access to a safe water supply 2) improved access to adequate sanitation facilities 3) opportunities to practice safe hygiene and nutrition behaviors. Water sources in the target areas are unsafe, as they can be both unprotected (where they present a hazard to people and animals in the area), contain contaminated water, and be over-stressed. To meet the need for a sufficient and safe water supply, existing broken and open wells will be rehabilitated and protected, solar-powered pipe scheme will be installed. Up to 170 individuals will have access to each water point. Placement of water points within the communities will reduce the burden on women and girls, who currently spend on average more than 30 minutes one-way to reach a water point. The continued functioning of the water points will be managed through local volunteer mechanics, who will be identified and trained in the operation and maintenance of the water systems, and through local caretakers. The implementation of the CLTS approach and installation of lockable latrines, with handwashing facilities, it will mitigate the spread of WASH-related diseases, ensure the privacy and security of women and children, and provide easy access for disabled persons and the elderly. Targeted households with disability and elderly people will receive WASH services accordingly. Awareness sessions will promote hygiene awareness and practices leading to health risk reduction. Hygiene sessions will focus on diarrhea prevention strategies, discouraging open defecation, critical times to wash hands with soap, menstrual hygiene management, safe household water treatment, and, food hygiene. 2000 families will receive hygiene kits. During kit distributions, orientation on the correct utilization of the items in the kits will take place.

The project will directly target 28250 people across the five mentioned districts. It is important to note that OAWCK coordinated with the regional cluster and they recommended the new project should be implemented in the new villages of Watapur, Ghazi Abad, Chapa Dara, Bar Kunar, and Dangam districts. OAWCK has an ongoing project from UNOCHA/AHF in the same process, however, the target communities/villages are different for both the project. For this new project, OAWCK conducted an assessment in 50 new villages to identify the needs. The reason behind selecting the same districts is the high needs, vulnerability, and marginalization of these districts. Kunar is one of the most neglected provinces in terms of WASH and other aid services, that is why the project will add so much value and will ease the suffering of the communities who are facing the scarcity of clean drinking water, proper hygiene, and other. The project is demand-driven OAWCK conducted a needs assessment (Jan 12-18, 2022) in 50 new communities/villages of the five districts to identify the critical needs aligned to the cluster allocation strategy. As a result of the assessment, the following were the critical needs: 1. Drinking Water 80-98% of people drink contaminated water from rivers, streams, and open wells Water reduced by 50%-80% in the water sources People travel between 1-3 KMs to collect drinking water 65% of people bring water by animals while 35% bring it by themselves 85% children while 15% women and men are responsible for collecting water 76% of people bring drinking water daily while 24% bring it on a weekly basis 89% of people do not wash their water reservoirs while 1% wash them every 3 months 93% of people do not filter the contaminated water before drinking 2. Hygiene: 80%-100% of people were not aware of proper hygiene 89% of people use open air for defecation while 11% have their own latrine 83% of people do not wash their hands while 17% wash their hands after going to the toilets 75% of people wash their clothes once in two weeks, 20% do it on a weekly basis, 5% wash it on a monthly basis The project is designed to respond to the above needs of the target communities. The needs are also aligned to the allocation strategy to ensure that we not only respond to the critical needs of the communities, but also contribute to the overall objective of the WASH cluster, and the AHF/UNOCHA. Project activities will be: Drilling15 new boreholes using the rotary drilling machines and compressor drilling machines Constructing 15 community latrines in five districts Upgrading WASH services in 15 public spaces in five districts Establishing and Training 5 WASH Committees Distribute hygiene kits to 2500 households Distribute minimum WASH packages to 250 households having SAM/AWD Conduct post-distribution monitoring Conduct 100 sessions on hygiene promotion, open defecation-free communities, and GBV/Protection. OAWCK is a Kunar-based local organization that is active in the province for over a decade now. OAWCK has access, good reputations, good relations with target communities, local authorities, and is very much familiar with the local context, cultural norms, and sensitivities which all collectively will contribute to the successful implementation of this project.

The proposed project is a pipe scheme and hygiene promotion project. SEARCHO is based in Kunar and knows the needs and issues around WASH needs of the communities. SEARCHO, however, conducted a detailed needs assessment to identify the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene needs of the communities. As a result of the assessment, the prominent needs were clean drinking water, and lack of community toilets. The other issues around poor hygiene, and women and girls protection are by default in the target communities. We have designed the project in response to the current and critical needs of the communities. The project will construct 8 pipe schemes that will provide clean drinking water to the target communities at their doorsteps. Currently, women, girls, and children are bringing water, as indicated in the assessment report, from locations that are very far and insecure from a protection point of view. The pipe scheme is a longer-tern and durable solution to the needs of the community. The project will construct 26 community toilets in the three districts to reduce environmental contamination and also reduce health diseases in the most vulnerable people of Nari, Dara-e-Pech, and Nurgal districts. The project will also distribute 2400 hygiene kits to the most affected and vulnerable households in the communities to take care of their hygiene and will also raise community-level awareness-raising on hygiene promotion, clean environment, women’s rights, and prevention of gender-based violence in the target communities (120 community sessions will be conducted on hygiene promotion and Covid prevention, and 120 community sessions on GBV, women's rights, and women's protection). The project is designed based on the following needs and gaps identified in Nari, Dara-e-Pech, and Nurgal districts by the detailed assessment conducted from Jan 18, 2022, to Jan 23, 2022: Dire need of clean drinking water Lack of WASH facilities and Water Supply Systems Poor hygiene and health condition Low knowledge of hygiene Low knowledge of women’s rights, women’s protection, and GBV Poor malnutrition Poor knowledge on the issues caused by open defecation Considering the needs listed above, SEARCHO will respond to the critical and urgent needs of clean drinking water, poor sanitation and hygiene, and awareness of women's protection. These were the most critical needs among the listed needs. The project will directly benefit 25374 people through its services of pipe scheme, hygiene kits distribution, and community awareness-raising on personal hygiene, women’s rights, and gender-based violence. The project will be implemented in Nari, Dara-e-Pech, and Nurgal districts of Kunar province. These districts were with the highest needs in Kunar province, these districts were recommended by the regional cluster, and Kunar Directorate of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (DRRD). As mentioned above, SEARCHO then conducted a needs assessment to identify and confirm the specific needs in the target communities in these three districts. SEARCHO has been working in Kunar, Nuristan, Nangarhar, and Laghman provinces since its inception. The organization has however implemented projects in other provinces – currently implementing a project in Balkh province – but the major focus of our intervention is the eastern region because of the high needs, marginalization, and remoteness of the areas. SEARCHO has good access, good relations with community elders, and good relations with local authorities which will ensure successful implementation of the project. In addition, SEARCHO has systems, policies, procedures, and competent human resources in place to ensure the successful implementation of the project.

This project aims to distribute 6,700,000 USD of supplies for use by WASH cluster partners including UNICEF partners under the Core Pipeline Supply Hub if UNICEF Country Office agrees to the modality to distribute supplies to non-UNICEF partners, which is currently under review. Under this action, AHF will support 15% of the 2022 HRP WASH cluster target budget for critical supplies. UNICEF will undertake the delivery of supplies to UNICEF warehouses in Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, Balkh and Nangarhar provinces, although the supplies themselves may be distributed and used in any Province and District where needs are identified by WASH Cluster Partners in both urban and Hard to Reach areas. The Core Pipeline Supply Hub is a collaboration between UNICEF as the Cluster Lead Agency and the WASH Cluster and the WASH Cluster partners, with UNICEF undertaking the supply planning, procurement of supplies (raising sales orders and purchase orders), quality assurance of supplies, distributing supplies to UNICEF warehouses, undertaking warehouse management of supplies, reviewing the validity of partner requests for supplies (along with the WASH cluster), authorizing distributions, developing the administrative partnership requirements with partners for distributing the supplies to affected populations with accountability (e.g. verifying they have the means and resources to distribute supplies, undertake inclusive community engagement and identify the most vulnerable and provide hygiene promotion activities), administering and monitoring the distribution of supplies and following up with partners for reporting, organizing UNICEF and third party monitoring and reporting to internal and external audiences and the AHF - as such it is a collaborative and coordinated effort to address the needs identified in the HNO/HRP. This proposal is based on the Allocation Strategy Paper for AHF 1st Standard Allocation (1SA) 2021 for Afghanistan Activity 19: WASH core pipeline procurement and stockpile (hygiene kits, soaps, handwashing devices, latrine/bath sets, chlorine powder, household water treatments, water testing, dosing pumps, water network spare parts, etc.). It is in accordance with: the national WASH cluster strategy targets, priorities for the Afghanistan 2018-2021 revised HRP Flash Appeal: Afghanistan: Immediate Humanitarian Response Gaps (September - December 2021) WASH cluster targets and response gap Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC 2022) drought contingency plan COVID-19 pandemic preventive and mitigation measures as outlined in the 2020/21 response framework of the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) WHO and the latest update on the AWD/disease outbreak scenario and HRP for 2022 which targets 3,942,068 people with critical WASH supplies with a budget of 43,857,176 USD. Under UNICEF's HAC, the project targets 30% of the 9,210,951 people to be reached with critical supplies target. While the project is only 6 months in duration the Core Pipeline Supply Hub is demand driven, that is, WASH Cluster partners must request, collect and distribute supplies based on identified needs of affected populations. As such the supplies procured and warehoused under this project may continue to be warehoused and distributed after the 6-month implementation period.

In total it aims to reach 51,750 persons with WASH services. IOM has conducted KAP (157 HH surveyed) and Water Point/Source (674 locations) assessments in November and December 2021 in Herat, Nangarhar and Kabul. To address a portion of the WASH needs assessed, in collaboration and coordination with other WASH Cluster members, community members and leaders, as well as local representative, IOM proposes the following: - Rehabilitation of water supply systems with a focus on repair/reconditioning/upgrade of handpumps and protection of existing hand-dug wells, to restore urban and hard to reach populations’ ability to access safe, affordable and sustainable sources of water. This activity will be guided by exhaustive assessments of the water systems to determine cost-effectiveness and value for money of the interventions. Linked to AHF WASH Activity 2, Theme 1, targeting 6750 households in Herat and Nangarhar provinces identified through the completion of assessments and in coordination with actors working in the province, to confirm a lack of duplication and collaboration through the exchange of data. - Upgrade WASH services, and clean and disinfect water supply wells/boreholes in AWD/cholera hotspot locations in public spaces (markets, gathering events) and institutions (health facilities, schools), coupled with provision of hand hygiene infrastructure and risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) messaging on infection, prevention and control (IPC) for AWD/cholera and COVID-19. Linked to AHF WASH Activity 11, Theme 3, and Activity 15, Theme 3, targeting 643 households in Kabul province based on current AWD/cholera outbreak. - Support improved hygiene practices through provision of hand hygiene infrastructure and hygiene kits (inclusive of menstrual hygiene management (MHM) items). The distributions will be combined with hygiene promotion activities to reduce the risk of transmittable diseases, including cholera/AWD and COVID-19. Linked to AHF WASH Activity 6, Theme 1, and Activity 16, Theme 3, targeting 1429 households in Herat and Nangarhar provinces, based on high WASH needs and limited WASH partner presence. - Ensure the long-term sustainability of interventions through the procurement and pre-positioning of WASH supplies to enable ongoing water supply rehabilitation and provision of WASH items. Linked to AHF WASH Activity 19, Theme 3, and expanding IOM’s current core pipeline coverage in Kabul, to Nangarhar and Herat provinces, to anticipate future WASH needs. Additionally, replenishment of the WASH core pipeline will be coordinated with UNICEF and DACAAR to establish the most appropriate prepositioning ratios across the country with consideration of WASH Cluster member activities and population needs. IOM intends to conduct these activities across the three identified provinces (Kabul, Herat and Nangarhar), due to their high WASH needs, and, in the case of Herat and Nangarhar, limited WASH partner presence. However, the project has the potential to scale-up to other provinces identified by the WASH Cluster as having WASH service gaps and high WASH needs such as Badghis in the West, Balkin in the North and/or Paktika in the South East. See Annex for a full breakdown of target locations, beneficiaries, and correlating activity descriptions, including potential expansion provinces and targets. AHF Activities 5, 6, 15 and 16 are also in direct correlation with those already undertaken by IOM in the health sector, which will allow for improved communication and data collection, as well as encourage a multi-sector response to address holistic public health needs.International Organization for MigrationInternational Organization for MigrationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundAngharad PAGNONWASH Program Management+14043800510apagnon@iom.intRashid KHANRashid Khan+92 345 9207616rkhan@iom.intDavid MavengereSenior Resource Management Officer+251929001380dmavengere@iom.intSusan PriceProject Development Officer+93794795117sprice@iom.intHirat34.34194400 62.20305600Kabul34.53333300 69.16666700Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Water, Sanitation and Hygiene1394127.241394127.24Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for Migration1394127.24Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for MigrationXM-OCHA-CBPF-AFG-21/3481/SA1/WASH/UN/20918United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfghanistan has been facing complex crises in the past and has recently seen a severe deterioration of the situation since May 2021. The recent events have generated more than 600,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and exacerbated disease outbreaks. Afghanistan is currently facing a complex confluence of crises including residual conflict and associated high levels of population displacement severe drought, food insecurity and malnutrition (up to 50% of children at risk of acute malnutrition) the COVID-19 pandemic outbreaks of other infectious diseases (e.g. measles, acute watery diarrhea, dengue) risk of upsurgence of polio cases and major economic decline. Out of a population of approximately 40 million persons, there are 18.4 million people (46% of the total population) in need as of January 2021, with over 500,000 persons displaced. It is estimated that there will be approximately 24 million persons in need by January 2022 a 30% increase from 2021. The Taliban have not been recognized by the international community and international funding has been put on hold for most programs, exacerbating existing fragility and increasing the economic downturn. The current situation presents substantial operational constraints to the UN’s efforts to maintain existing programs and to scale up the response to increasing humanitarian needs. The Afghan economy and the health sector have been mostly dependent on external financial support and development funding for years. Destruction of the health facilities' infrastructures due to recent conflicts coupled with lacking funding for reconstruction have resulted in poor physical condition of the health facilities including the environmental health measures. The proportion of Afghans who can access safe drinking water and sanitation are one of the lowest in the world, Water Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH) at the health facility level is no exception, in 2021, out of the 8.8 million people in need of WASH assistance, almost 1.2 million could be related to WASH at health facility level (HNO 2021), as a result, inadequate WASH services continue to be a major issue in Afghanistan which threaten the quality and safety of healthcare. An assessment was conducted by WHO though its sub-offices in West, South, South-East and East Regions. For better data collection, a WASH assessment checklist was developed and shared with Sub-Offices, relevant PHDs and target health facilities authorities both in hard and soft copies. Filled checklist were returned to the Sub-Offices and WASH needs shared with the WHO-Country office. More than one hundred health facilities were assessed and 69 health facilities were selected for this WASH intervention. WHO as a normative agency for WASH at the facilities and as part of its global mandate is focusing on enhancing WASH, and medical waste management system in health facilities to ensure safe and hygienic environment in health facilities. Based on WHO assessment and in accordance with the allocation strategy and WASH cluster priorities, through this grant, WHO will support WASH facilities in 69 priority health facilities (6 DHs, 40 CHCs, and 23 BHCs) located in Badghis, Ghor, Hirat, Hilmand, Uruzgan, Zabul, Kandahar, Paktika, Paktiya, Nangarhar and Laghman provinces. The health facilities will be supported through rehabilitation and boring of water wells and water supply piping networks, rehabilitation and construction of toilets, rehabilitation and construction of septic tanks, installation of hand wash basins, establishment of medical waste management facilities (ash pit, sharp pit etc.), installation of waste incinerators and procurement and supply of waste collection containers. WHO will implement and supervise the activities on the ground directly and will not sub-contract to any international and national NGOs. Through this AHF Standard Allocation Fund, WHO will provide sustainable WASH services in 16 vulnerable provinces for approximately 86,700 people.World Health OrganizationWorld Health OrganizationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundKhalid Khan BilalNational WASH Officer0093704142921bilalk@who.intDr. Abouzeid AlaaWorld Health Emergency Team Leader0093783961828abouzeida@who.intMirka KoneExternal Relation Officer00491739301091konemi@who.intBadghis35.16713390 63.76953840Ghazni33.55000000 68.41666700Ghor34.09957760 64.90595500Hilmand31.36364740 63.95861110Hirat34.34194400 62.20305600Kabul34.53333300 69.16666700Kandahar30.99606790 65.47573600Laghman34.68976870 70.14558050Nangarhar34.17183130 70.62167940Paktika32.26453860 68.52471490Paktya33.70619900 69.38310790Uruzgan32.92712870 66.14152630Zabul32.19187820 67.18944880Water, Sanitation and Hygiene2348367.312348367.31Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Health Organization2348367.31Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Health Organization
