Transitional Shelter Construction and Shelter repair/upgrade for conflict and natural affected HH in Ghor Province n Ghor Province, people are very vulnerable because of conflict and recurrent natural disasters such as flash floods and drought. Currently there is RAM ongoing in the province, therefore there is no up to date needs assessment currently available. However, the analysis done by the ESNFI over the last 4 years, as well as Cordaid’s presence/ observations in ghor province and PDMs confirm the high needs and gaps as mentioned in the 2022 standard allocation trategy. However, Cordaid together with partners RRAA and OWH will us RAM data as well conduct a rapid assessment (and market survey) at the onset of the project.As indicated in the allocation strategy, needs are in line with cluster priorities and are multi-sectoral, caused by increasing prices and food insecurity, loss of employment/ reduced employment opportunities and COVID-19. Currently the overall security situation of the western region of Afghanistan, including Ghor province is good, with visible improvement in the security situation from 2021 onward. The main security issues are local criminalities and kidnapping. But people in Ghor have been affected severely by previous conflict as well as natural disasters.People are relying on negative coping strategies, living in poverty, and have no means. Considering the high cost of shelter repairs, and people relying already on negative coping strategies, they may have no means to contribute money to house repair/construction. Most Afghan household have to make choices between meeting basic needs and repairing their shelters and are unable to sustain any major shock that severely damages or destroys their shelter.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. Cordaid and RRAA is a member of JMMI and also conducted the market monitoring for JMMI in Monthly basis in Ghor province which is still ongoing on a monthly basis. The overall objective of the project is to provide vulnerable people affected by Natural disasters and conflict in Ghor Province with dignified shelter solutions through conditional restricted cash transfers for shelter repair and transitional shelter, ensuring their well-being, privacy and dignity whilst mitigating their protection and health risks.
