Emergency Shelter and NFI Assistance to Drought-Displaced Communities in Herat and Badghis Provinces The Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund (AHF) fifth Reserve Allocation was launched after a revision of the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), which was revised based on a situational analysis outlining the extent of the drought emergency in the North and West of Afghanistan, and following presentation of an updated humanitarian context to UNOCHA and the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) in early November 2018. Findings from recent needs assessments indicate the urgent need to provide emergency shelter and Non-Food Items (NFIs) assistance with the majority of the displaced populations living in the open and under makeshift shelters. The Reserve Allocation was therefore released to directly respond to this high priority need.

The proposed project will target drought- displaced communities in Injil District (Herat Province) and Qala-e-Naw District (Badghis Province) for an emergency shelter and household NFI support that meet Cluster specifications. The project, implemented directly by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), continuing recent and long-standing interventions in these areas, is aligned with the CHF Reserve Strategy priorities, and has been coordinated through relevant fora, notably the Afghanistan Emergency Shelter and NFI (ES/NFI) Cluster. 

NRC proposes to provide a combination of emergency shelters in the form of in-kind family tents for 6,350 vulnerable families (32,175 individuals) and unconditional NFI cash support of USD $85 (~6,375 AFN- distribution time market exchange rate to be used) for 2,775 households (13,755 individuals) as markets remain functional in target project locations. This will fill existing gaps in ES/ NFI support to the affected population and complement activities currently being undertaken through other funding mechanisms.

Based on assumed overlaps on provision of assistance in order to avoid double counting, the proposed project will target a total of 7,043 vulnerable households, reaching 35,637 individuals.
Running of 6 mobile health teams to address the critical and urgent needs of health care services for the drought affected population in the 3 priority districts of Nimroz Province The main objective of the project is to provide drought affected communities with emergency health services and psychosocial support to tackle with their critical and urgent needs. The beneficiaries will be the host communities, but also IDPs and returnees.  

To achieve these objective, MRCA propose to be in charge of the running of 6 Mobile Health Team: 2 in the district of Kang, 2 in the district of Chakhansor and 2 in the district of Chamburjak. These 3 districts have identified are primary priority districts according to the health cluster. 

MRCA will be in charge on the overall management of the project ensuring that the 6 MHTs have a complete and competent medical team (i.e 1 midwife, 1 medical doctor / nurse, vaccinator and 2 Psychological First Aid providers: 1 male and 1 female), following the MOPH guidelines and will ensure a global monitoring and date compilation. The MHTs will mainly focus on treatment or referral of the most common health problem present in drought affected areas (diarrhea, ARI, measles, snake bites, mental illness, etc…).  

The main services delivered through the MHTs will be: 
-	Primary health care (PHC) with a special focus on mother and child health, by ensuring the presence of one midwife in the MHTs
-	Provision of EPI services
-	Surveillance of vaccine preventable, DEWS and outbreak management
-	Psychological first aid (PFA)

In order to ensure the quality of delivered health services by the MHTs, the capacity of the recruited staff will be reinforced through various training on HMIS, infection prevention, EPI and disease warning system.   Weekly supervision will verify the efficiency of the services in place.
Drought response: Multi sectoral and integrated response to hard to reach and most vulnerable people in Helmand, Ghor and Badghis aiming to mitigate displacement and reduce negative coping strategies This project design is both multi sectoral (Nutrition, WASH and Protection) and integrated design. This design aims to build on past and current actions across those same sectors as well as Emergency response, by implementing sectoral responses and integrated responses not yet present in areas where other sectors are already reaching people. While past and current actions outside of this proposal were/are not drought responses, they have morphed in to drought response in that these needs have become priorities for all beneficiaries in those provinces in particular with limited developmental gains or systems of resilience to environmental risk factors, most notably drought at this time. This project aims to reach people prior to displacement as a priority, and support displaced groups made more vulnerable by drought and associated reduced resources. 
More explicitly, in Helmand: ACF currently reaches beneficiaries in Nutrition and essential care practices with current partner AYSO, in remote areas, therefore under this project proposal this partnership and associated capacity building is expanded to include mainstreamed CPiE, GBViE, water kit distributions. In compliment, with the aim of reaching people at their place of origin, water points for communities, child protection centers, case management of child protection and continuation of integrated GBV will be applied to strongly mitigate any development gains being lost as well as displacement.
In Ghor Similarly, in Ghor, ACF is already a very active stakeholder and partner with BPHS implementer in Nutrition and GBV therefore, an expanded partnership with CHA will support the establishment of child friendly safe spaces/breastfeeding corners across 3 districts. Rehabilitation of construction of water points, and where competition for water access between animals and humans is high, ACF will work with communities to facilitate priorities for human use and animal use appropriately. 
Badghis: Through implementing partner, AYSO, ACF will transfer with AYSO the capacity building from Helmand to Badghis in order to conduct outreach services through mobile Nutrition clinics including integrated PSS officers to reach people at their place of origin, complimented by training in Health facilities on PSS and IMAM and IYCF-E. 

In mitigating the following risks: 

	Maintained access in hard to reach areas across security impacted and winter impacted areas 
	Maintained good community access through close collaboration of communities and reaching through their support, and  
	Access to visit and monitor quality of service delivery and capacity building of partners in remote locations 

A comprehensive security access plan (see sections below) will be implemented, in coordination with a surveillance plan on nutritional needs to circulate findings to all Nutrition stakeholders.
Improved lifesaving trauma care services in high risk regions This project is in line with SO1 and SO3 of 2018-2021 Afghanistan Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP). Additional the Health context 11, and 12 of 6 Reserves Allocation strategy highlights the need for improved trauma care services as it mentions that the number of trauma cases reported nationwide increased by 14% (Report Hub, 2018). And the trauma facilities are overstretched, and occupancy rates are routinely over 200% (Emergency, 2018 and HMIS, 2018). And armed conflict in western and southern regions have high number of civilian casualties and moreover, there have been some damage to the health facilities. Lack of trauma care in drought affect areas is widespread."
Afghanistan continues to face immense humanitarian, social and political challenges. The current drought affected 9.8 million people in 21 out of 34 provinces are in humanitarian assistance, including almost 500,000 who are in urgent needs of essential and emergency health services (Health Cluster assessment, October 2018). The ongoing insecurity and recent drought is causing displacement among communities across Herat and Badghis. . Baghis, Faryab, Uruzgan are particularly affected by active conflict which add to the burden of drought on the existing overstretched health system. As consequence of the ongoing conflict, there is an urgent need for life saving and trauma care medical services as per the increasing in the number of trauma cases  over the last year nationally. The number of trauma cases reported nationwide has increased by 14% (Report Hub, 2018). 
This project includes activities to improve the trauma care and life-saving medical services by upgrading the provincial, district and one of the Comprehensive Health Centers in the priority provinces of drought and ongoing conflicts, with trauma care services and blood bank. In addition,  the project will focuse on improvement of the emergency response capacities in those provinces. Moreover, there will support to improve coordination both at national and sub-national levels. The beneficiaries will include the  patients will come to health facilities from the drought affected IDPs, host communities and other IDPs or returnees.
The direct beneficiaries will be a mix of host communities, IDPs, returnees and from nearby areas affected by war. The dis-aggregated data is not available, that is why other is selected to report all of the beneficaries of the project.
Support cluster response to drought-affected IDPs, through monitoring IDPs inflow and outflow, as well as intention survey, in Herat and Badghis In response to critical levels of internal displacement, caused by what is being described as the worst drought in Afghanistan in decades, through this action, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) will continue to implement flow monitoring to identify and register only the newly arriving drought-affected IDP caseload in Herat City, as well as in Qala-e-Naw in Badghis, and share the information with humanitarian partners to facilitate onward registration of newly arriving IDPs into humanitarian assistance programmes and expedite subsequent delivery of assistance. Additionally, DTM will also continue to track the outflow of IDPs returning to their places of origin or into secondary displacement, as well as conduct return intention surveys in locations of displacement to identify the intentions, motivations, needs and concerns of IDPs to enable partners to better integrate the concerns and requirements of potential returnees into return packages and into return strategies in areas of origin to deliver sustainable return solutions.
Health Emergency Response in drought affected areas ensuring life-saving trauma care services and improved capacities for outbreak response including CCHF The project will respond to the current humanitarian emergency in Western and Southern regions of Afghanistan as identified under the priority by the Humanitarian Country Team. A combination of prolonged conflict and acute environmental crisis of drought has strained the ability of existing public health services to beyond capacity, critically endangering the lives of the population.  While this current drought has placed a significant burden on the current health system, the project will address element of the Health Cluster response including: 1) disease outbreaks 2) trauma care 3) prepositioning of essential supply as part of a preparedness plan for the ongoing drought response .

The  ongoing conflicts and recurrent natural disasters expose the affected population of Afghanistan to high risks of public health outbreaks, the emerging and re-emerging epidemic diseases pose an ongoing threat to global health security, Currently, Afghanistan is recording the highest number of cases of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever in the past 14 years with outbreaks in the same geographic regions as drought. CCHF is a highly fatal viral zoonotic disease with case fatality ratio up to 40% (WHO, 2013).  The number of CCHF cases (347) shows significant increase (225% increase).  Cases have been reported in 29 out of 34 provinces with Kabul and Herat reported the highest numbers. The number of CCHF patients hospitalized  in Infectious Disease Hospital  during first week of September, 20132018 reached to 35 while the available beds were only 10.

In addition, this project will support urgent trauma care in Helmand province as one of priority objective under the Health Cluster.  The EMERGENCY Surgical Centre for war victims in Lashkargah is facing new challenges due to the worsening of the conflict, increase in mass casualties and severity of the injuries. The number of severe injuries has increased: average of operations per patient increase 9% (in 2017 is 2,3 operations per patient), average of length of stay per patient increased 22% (6,9% in 2017), major surgeries as amputation increased 19% compare to 2016.

This project will cover three priorities:
1)      Capacity building and scale up surveillance of CCHF in drought-affected districts
2)      Scale up trauma care in Lashkargah Emergency hospital to improve trauma care
3)      Procurement of essential medical supply to support emergency health services in drought affected population.
Increasing safe and dignified living conditions through provision of emergency shelter and cash for winterization to internally displaced persons (IDPs) affected by drought in Herat province. DRC, through this project, aims to deliver emergency shelter kits (family sized tent with necessary tools for pitching and 2 Tarpaulins) and winterization to support drought-affected internally displaced people who live in open spaces and makeshift shelters that do not provide dignity, privacy and protection from the elements.
DRC participated in the inter-agency joint assessments between May and July 2018, verified 11,802 displaced families (82,614 individuals) and distributed cash for food to a total of 7,122 families while the remaining caseload (4,892 families) was covered by Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). 
Through Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund (AHF) 3rd Reserve Allocation, DRC is carrying out the distribution of 2,200 emergency shelter kits. Through additional inter-agency assessments and verifications, the total number of internally displaced people rose by 10,000 households. As of November first, the total number of households living in informal sites in Injil district stood at 20186  (141302 individuals). DRC plans to distribute 4,326 family tents, procured by UNHCR, and cash for winterization to 7573 displaced families living at Injil IDP settlements in Herat province.
A team of community volunteers has been identified, trained on shelter program and in turn provide support to female-headed families, families with large number children, disabled and critical illness in the erection of shelters. 
To ensure service provision in a dignified manner, DRC has an accountability framework as part of its action plan to comply with common humanitarian standards (CHS) that will be used as a benchmark to guide its quality implementation along with ES/NFI cluster guidelines. Shelter is a key protection priority. This project will have a direct impact on the protective environment in informal IDP settlements. DRC will mainstream protection throughout project implementation to minimize secondary protection risks.

The project duration is 4 months, active from 24 November 2018 to 23 March 2019.

Provision of emergency shelter and cash NFI for drought-affected IDPs in Herat and Badghis provinces The project targets severely drought-affected populations in Badghis and Herat provinces through provision of emergency shelter kits and cash for NFI. The project is based on rigorous needs assessments performed directly by CRDSA protection monitoring teams in coordination with provincial ANDMAs and DRRD and is informed by insights and results from Afghanistan Intercluster Drought Impact and Needs Assessments (DINA-led by UNOCHA) for Herat, and Badghis province and Herat Drought IDP Assessment -HAP (conducted by IOM) as well as NRC Protection mission. The project entails 2 components including (1) emergency shelter kits assistance and (2) provision of cash for NFI. Both components together will provide benefits to a total of 13650 individuals (1950 drought affected families - including 3412 men, 2594 women, 3958 boys, 3686 girls) in Muqur district of Badghis and Injil district of Herat province. 
 
In component (1) emergency shelters kits CRDSA will provide 900 emergency shelter kits to 6300 people (900 drought affected families - 1575 men, 1197 women, 1827 boys and 1701 girls) in Sanjetak amp Chakarha informal IDP camp in Moqur district of Badghis province. 

In component (2) cash for NFI will be provided to 3850 individuals (550 drought affected families - including 962 men, 732 women, 1116 boys and 1040 girls) in Sanjetak amp Chakarha informal IDP camp in Moqur district of Badghis province and 3500 individuals (500 drought affected families - including  875 men, 665 women, 1015 boys and 945 girls) in Pediatric Hospital IDP settlement area in Injil district of Herat province.

The modality of beneficiary selection includes a two-step process in which in the first step beneficiaries were identified using the data collected using modified HEAT questionnaire (for drought) as part of the Intercluster Drought Needs and Impact Assessment led by UOCHA (where CRDSA was also a member in conduct of the assessment). In the second step, the identified beneficiaries were then further surveyed using the CRDSA/UNCHR Protection Monitoring Checklist. Specific beneficiary selection criteria will be applied during the implementation of the project. These criteria for emergency shelter kits beneficiaries include elderly headed families, female headed families, child headed families/families with child laborer, families with acute/chronic patients, families having new born infants and more than 3 children under 5 years old and the criteria NFI assistance include the ones for emergency shelter kits plus families lacking/shortage of blankets, lack/shortage of cooking tools, shortage of basic clothing.
Nutrition assistance for drought affected communities in Kandahar province In the proposed project, Save the Children will implement nutrition interventions in four priority districts of Kandahar province (Maywand, Khakrez, Shahwalikot and Zeray). Save the Children proposes to undertake the following key interventions: 
1. Establish five mobile nutrition teams to provide: Outpatient Department of Severe Acute Malnutrition (OPD-SAM) and Outpatient Department of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (OPD-MAM) services for the management of severely and moderately acute malnourished girls and boys (6-59 months) Treat acute malnourished Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) Promote Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices in PLW and care givers and Treat childhood illnesses (e.g. diarrhea, acute respiratory infections and malaria) in children under the age of five (boys and girls). Out of five mobile nutrition teams, two will be established in Maywand and one will be established in each of the Khakrez, Shahwalikot and Zeray districts 
2. Improve capacity of nine Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS) facilities in the identification, treatment and referral of SAM and MAM cases (Maywand: Two Comprehensive Health Centers [CHCs] Khakrez: One CHC Shahwalikot: Two CHCs and one Basic Health Center [BHC] and Zeray: One CHC and two BHCs) 
3. Establishment of breast feeding corners in nine BPHS facilities and
