Provision of primary health care winterization services in Khost, Kunar, and Laghman province ltpgtlt/pgtltpgtHNI-TPO will
implement the AHF project in three provinces – Khost, Kunar and Laghman – where
we currently implement HER projects. Based on a pre-proposal needs assessment,
the project is designed in consultation with PPHDs, regional clusters and AHC
(via EOI). The project will contribute to addressing the seasonal health needs
of people during the winter of 2023-2024. The support is planned in three
areas: (1) addressing services coverage gaps (2) enhancing the uptake capacity
of selected HER HFs and (3) enabling health workers to cater to the winter
caseload.lt/pgt

a six-month period by a dedicated team with due support from relevant
departments of HNI-TPO Kabul and the provincial HER project teams. The staff will
be selected from the relevant district or province to the extent possible to
ensure cost efficiency and staff safety. Female staff will be accompanied by
their legal Mahram to avoid objections from the community.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtThe program and other support
departments of HNI-TPO Kabul will oversee the project regularly. Due attention
is paid to the cross-cutting issues of gender, disability, protection, AAP, and
RCCE in the implementation approach. In view of the long experience of HNI-TPO
in the provinces, any access hindrances or other issues against smooth
implementation will be dealt with at the local level. When needed, issues
requiring higher level support will be solved through the support and
involvement of AHC, HAG, and UNOCHA.lt/pgt
