AADA has wide range of experience in managing more than 15 humanitarian response projects funded by CHF/AHF, WHO, WFP and UNFPA over the past five years. 
Under this project, AADA proposes providing of lifesaving trauma care services, health response to GBV and psychosocial support to conflict affected people, in hard to reach districts of Nangarhar, Ghazni and primary health care services Laghman provinces. 
The key interventions of this action include the following: 
Establishment of 8 First Aid Trauma Posts (FATPs) in the following health facilities where active fighting is heavy, security situation is volatile and are mostly under control of Armed Opposition Groups (AOGs).
Nangarhar Province: Nazyan Comprehensive Health Center (CHC) in Nazyan district, Mamand’s Basic Health Center (BHC) in Achin, Lagharji BHC in Kot and Sayab BHC in Hesarak districts of Nangarhar province.
Ghazi Province: Barakat BHC in Kahowja Omari district, Nawa CHC in Nawa, Zanakhan CHC in Zanakhan and Waghaz CHC in Waghaz districts 
Construction/rehabilitation: The planned BHCs infrastructure will be enhanced through the construction of an additional two rooms (one for male and one for female) to make them appropriate to function as FATPs. The three CHCs planned for FATP set up in Ghazni province will be renovated/extended and six partially damaged Heakth Facilties (HFs) in Nazeyan, Achin, Shirzad and Sorkh Roud districts of Nangarhar will be rehabilitated to enable functioning. 
All FATPs will be appropriately equipped with medical and non-medical equipment and vehicles will be rented and equipped to serve as an ambulance in 4 BHCs where the FATPs are established to ensure timely evacuation of war casualties from frontline and FATPs to referral hospitals. In CHC FATPs, the already existing ambulances (paid by BPHS project) will be utilized for referring trauma cases. 

Six Health Sub-center (now called as Primary Healthcare Center, PHC) and 23 Health Post (HPs) linked to HSCs are in dire need of support for upkeep with the AHF fund in Laghman. Under this proposal, AADA will maintain and ensure the smooth running of the Health Sub-Center (HSCs) in order for them to provide primary healthcare support to their local communities. The HSCs are in Alishang , Alingar, Qarghayee and Mehterlam districts which are currently being operated by Community World Service Asia (CWS-A) NGO the operations are due to finish on 31st March 2020 as such AADA will take over running these HSCs and HPs in order to provide services that will no longer be provided upon the ending of the current project with CWS-A.

FATPs will be staffed with two male and one female health professional (midwife/nurse) and will be trained on Basic Life Support (BLS) package, Gender Based Violence (GBV) response protocol and psychosocial counseling (PSS) to provide trauma care and GBV cases initial management (identification, referrals and follow up) and counseling services to the population in needs in the target area. To ensure project sustainability at least two BPHS paid staff (male and female) will be trained on the above subjects to continue services delivery after the project conclusion.
