Sangi Atash Drought Response Project In response to the current drought situation in Badghis Province, World Vision Afghanistan (WVA) is planning to conduct critical life-saving WASH interventions, focusing on Sangi Atash Cluster of Moqur District in Badghis Province in order to reduce the incidence of diarrheal diseases in children under 5.  The project will provide household water treatment (PUR sachets) and safe storage solutions for 6641 households / 70.394 community members (17,599 men, 17,880 women, 17,246 boys, 17,669 girls) currently consuming limited turbid flood water reserves and 3 solar-powered reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment systems in selected communities as a durable solution in order to avoid impending summer drinking water scarcity issues.  The RO systems will be constructed in locations with the following criteria: 1) Sustainable sources of surface water are unavailable 2) Groundwater is available 3) Groundwater is high salinity and requires treatment before consumption.  The RO units will be implemented in three central locations in Sangi Atash cluster, benefiting 3220 households /  34,132 people (8,533 men, 8,670 women, 8,362 boys, 8,567 girls).  Based on the capacity of the RO systems to produce approximately 34,300 litres per system per day, the 3 RO systems will provide 25 target communities with at least 3 litres of clean drinking water per person per day, meeting the SPHERE standard for basic survival needs of 2.5-3 litres of clean drinking water per person per day.  In summary, these actions will ensure that the target population has access to clean and safe drinking water, reducing diarrhea prevalence, particularly among children under 5. These interventions will contribute to Humanitarian Response Plan outcomes 1: Save lives in areas of highest need.
Integrated Health and Nutrition Response for drought and conflicted-affected IDP and Vulnerable Host communities in Herat and Badghis Province The project responds to the gaps in access to lifesaving health and nutrition services among approximately 200,000 new IDPs scattered across 9 IDP sites in Herat as well as 120,000 IDPs in Badghis. The project will also increase the availability of health and Nutrition services through supporting Static Referral Hospitals in Herat (Herat PD Hospital) to provide nutrition services. To achieve this, WV will take over 7 Mobile Integrated Health and Nutrition teams in Herat and Badghis IDP sites. These teams are currently being run by UNICEF and DoPH and will be transitioned to WV starting 1 January 2019. Further, WV will recruit 4 Doctors and 3 Nutrition nurses who will be seconded to Herat PD hospital and other referral hospitals in Herat as well as the other Referal centers around IDP sites. WV will also provide a 24 Hr Ambulance service in IDP sites in Herat. WV will also recruit a team of well-experienced health and nutrition personnel who will be a mobile supportive supervision team assisting MHNTs in service provision
Protecting livelihoods of vulnerable, drought affected households of Badghis and Herat Province Food insecurity in Afghanistan is on the rise. According to an Afghan living condition survey, food insecurity increased by 11.6 percent from 33 percent in 2016 to 44.6 percent in 2018. National level poverty also increased from 39.4 percent to 51 percent in Afghanistan from 2016 to 2017/2018. Continued conflict, cross-border movement, and drought have significantly impacted food and income sources of rural communities.
As of April 2018, the Government of Afghanistan oﬀicially declared a drought across the country following months of dryness. A precipitation deficit of up to 70 percent in most parts of the country has aﬀected the winter harvest and resulted in dire prospects for crop production in the spring and summer. According to the FAO Rapid Assessment of the 2018 Winter Dry Spell in Afghanistan, the October 2017 – February 2018 wet season was characterized by below-average rainfall and above-average temperatures. This led to very low snowpack formation in the mountainous regions, which is key for irrigation systems to function and provide water for the summer months. Lack of precipitation overall has prevented the recharging of key aquifers which support crop production. Preliminary reports estimate that 60–70 % of rainfed wheat production areas have suffered damages due to dryness.
The need to support the resumption of livelihoods of farmer affected by the drought cannot be understated. The proposed action intends to provide agricultural inputs to the farmers with rain-fed lands through distribution of certified seed (50kg wheat seed) and fertilizers (50kg DAP) to 8,500 households in places of origin to avert further displacement. The project’s target beneficiaries will also receive training on improved agricultural practices. Farmers have rated seed as a major need and this project will respond to the farmers felt the need. The proposed action will reach 8,500 households in Gulran, Koshk e Khona and Ghormach out of a total of approximately 60,000 households across these 3 districts. It should be noted that this project will reach approximately 10% of the population in the targeted location and huge needs will still remain.
The primary recipient of the proposed intervention will be vulnerable households whose subsistence and livelihood has been significantly affected, or have lost their food source and livestock due to drought and their life is at risk due to lack of access to essential food items. Female-headed households, elderly-headed households, people with large families and people with disabilities will also form the core of the primary recipients of the proposed intervention. The beneficiaries will be selected by their vulnerability criteria through customized assessment tool in coordination with the DAIL at provincial level. Community mobilizers will conduct a 100% door to door verification to select the beneficiaries who meet the vulnerability criteria.
Provision of essential shelter and NFI assistance in hard-to-reach areas of Kunduz, Faryab and Jawzjan provinces In line with the Common Humanitarian Fund’s (CHF) 1st standard allocation strategy for 2018, this project will reach at least 845 households, representing an estimated 5,915 beneficiaries across hard-to-reach and underserved districts of Faryab (Almar, Kohistan, Khoja Sabz Posh, Pashtunkot, Qaisar, Shirintagab, Dawlatabad, Bilcherag), Kunduz (Qala-i-Zal, Dashti-Archi, Chahardara, Aliabad, Khanabad) and Jawzjan provinces (Darzab, Qushtepa). 

In light of needs assessed by ACTED in these three target provinces, as well as of the current priorities identified by the Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items (ESNFI) Cluster, ACTED has designed a two-pronged intervention composed by the provision of emergency Cluster-approved NFI assistance to 420 households, particularly focusing on areas that cannot be covered by other humanitarian agencies and by the provision of cash for shelter upgrades amounting to 425 households that will receive a maximum of USD 300 each, as per current Cluster standards. 

ACTED’s NFI assistance (Output 1) will primarily aim to respond to rapid onset emergencies that will arise in the next few weeks and months across target provinces due to conflict or natural disasters, and will particularly focus on those areas where NFI assistance is found to be necessary and where no other partner can provide assistance due to lack of access or resources. The cash for shelters’ upgrades component (Output 2) will target vulnerable households whose shelter is in a poor condition, leaving them exposed to seasonal weather fluctuations that endanger their health and wellbeing, in identified districts that are currently underserved. This intervention is informed by ACTED’s knowledge and strong access in target districts, as well as by the rapid shelter needs assessment that was conducted by ACTED’s Appraisal, Monitoring and Evaluation Unit (AMEU) in December 2017 (see Annex 1). 

These two types of responses will encompass strong protection mainstreaming elements. ACTED will notably ensure that all beneficiaries are sensitized on their rights and sources of assistance available in their area of residence or displacement. ACTED will also endeavour to refer households requiring specialized protection assistance to local protection stakeholders, particularly the United Nation’s High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
Provision of essential health and nutrition services for drought- affected population in priority districts of Takhar province. Afghanistan has been experiencing severe drought conditions since the end of 2017.  According to the latest Emergency Food Security assessment (EFSA) findings a total of 21 out of 34 provinces have been affected by drought. As of September, 9.8 million people were estimated to be in Food Crisis and Emergency across Afghanistan (an Integrated food security Phase Classification Phase 3 and Phase 4) according to IPC’s October report. 
The proposed project aims to respond to the drought affected population through provision of integrated mobile health and nutrition services in eight priority districts of Takhar province (Taleqan, Baharak, Bangi, Rostaq, Chahab, Khwja Ghar Eshkamish and Hazarsomoch).
