Emergency Medical, Nutrition and Protection assistance to hard to reach populations of Kunar province The intervention proposed by PU-AMI intends to provide an integrated approach to address comprehensive needs identified in Kunar province, in the eastern region of Afghanistan. With over ten years of experience in the area, in the implementation of health, nutrition and PFA activities, PU-AMI has acquired a sound knowledge of the needs of the populations. Strong of its historic and diverse presence on several regions of the country, PU-AMI has built a strong knowledge and understanding of the conflict dynamics as well as a comprehensive network with different stakeholders from communities to central government authorities.

In a mountainous and rural area where multiple AOGs affect the everyday life of the populations, access to essential healthcare is severely impacted. Numerous IDPs have left their area of origin to flee from conflict, which has dire consequences on their well-being, both at physical and psychological level. The Protection Community Assessment in Nangarhar, carried out by a variety of NGOs, including PU-AMI, and coordinated by UNHCR collected data in late 2016. This assessment highlighted some of the numerous protection concerns among IDPs, returnees and host communities. Given Kunar and Nangarhar are neighboring provinces with similar challenges (mountainous and rural terrain, bordering Pakistan, presence of AOGs, displacements), conclusions drawn for Nangarhar can be considered to also be applicable for Kunar province.
Furthermore, poverty and displacement also lead to a high malnutrition rate: with a 16.2% global acute malnutrition rate (Nutrition cluster data), the situation in Kunar province breaches the emergency threshold.

PU-AMI is a well-known and recognized humanitarian actor in the area and therefore benefits of access to hard to reach areas, where humanitarian needs are the highest.
PU-AMI has extensive experience and expertise in health, and will thus create, equip and maintain four FATPs (First aid trauma posts) to address emergency trauma needs in 4 existing HF while also establishing four SHC (Sub Health Centers) and one MHT (Mobile Health Team) through which primary healthcare, mother and childcare and immunization services will be provided.

The SHC and MHT will act as an entry point for the provision of nutrition and protection services. Indeed, the provision of protection services is still negatively perceived, therefore, the use of health as a motivation to gather beneficiaries is an ideal method especially since the need for psychological first aid or psychosocial services will most often not be identified by the beneficiary himself.

Special attention will be given to women, though the hiring of female staff in each team, dedicated PFA and PSS services, as well as to children U5, through the provision of nutrition services.
Provision of Mine Risk Education, Survey and Elimination of ERW in Conflict  ERW Affected Communities Three decades of armed conflict in Afghanistan have left widespread mine and ERW contamination across the country.  The current conflict in 32 out of 34 provinces created problem to all gender type of the residents includes men, women, girls, boys, and mine/ERW amp conflict victims, a huge percentage of the mentioned population have been displaced and fled their hometown, the number of casualties have been increased. 

The project intend to have two major component of crossed trained survey/EOD MRE where 5 teams will be deployed in 374 conflict and mine/ERW affected communities in 64 districts of 11 provinces by providing MRE training, survey of small ERW contaminated areas and destruction of spot ERW/UXB for 93,000 individuals, and the second component is provision of Mine Risk Education (MRE) for 106 mine affected communities in 26 districts of 5 provinces where 12 MRE teams will be deployed and will train a total of 115,200 individuals on dangers of mine and ERW to change their behavior.

Since OMAR MRE, demining and Survey/EOD teams are currently working in north amp northeast Takhar, Baghlan, and Kunduz, in south Kandahar, Helmand, Uruzgan, and Zabul, in southeast Ghazni, Khost, in east Kunar, Laghman, and Nangarhar, and in western Hirat, Farah, and Ghor provinces, the assessment done by OMAR field personnel shows that some of the most at-risk communities from mines and ERW contamination and conflict affected communities at the moment are living in the provinces of Kabul, Kapisa, Logar, Maidanwardak, Panjsher, Parwan, Helmand, Kandahar, Uruzgan, Zabul, and Nimroz provinces.  The assessment of the communities at risk also took into consideration and shows that the rising number of civilian casualties in the provinces.  This displacement caused to loss their basic right of health, sanitation water, food, school for children, women right, gender equality, and so on.
To mitigate the threat that poses to the lives and livelihoods of civilians, the tool used to do this is mine and ERW risk education and elimination of ERW.

By Implementation of this project in 11 out of 34 provinces 5 crossed trained and 12 CB MRE teams will be deployed to reach the above mentioned target by provision of mine/ERW risk education in IDP camps and host communities, and elimination of spot ERW to mine/ERW and conflict affected population not only to prevent further disability, but also will change their behavior to live in a peaceful environment and honoring the victims.

Provision of mine risk education training and elimination of spot ERW in the communities by EOD cross trained MRE teams which consist of a level iii EOD specialist as team leader, one male and one female trainers will reach all type of sex and gender such as women, men, boys, girls, and victims equally.
All member of the teams are qualified to conduct MRE training, the teams will regularly provide mine risk education sessions to the targeted population, when there is request or need for EOD survey, then they can respond to the task given upon completion of the survey and resume MRE operations.
Urgent Assistance Gaps and Reduce ERW Casualties Among Conflict Displaced /Civilians in North , North East and East  Regions of Afghanistan This project application is prepared in response to OCHA request for grant application to conduct humanitarian mine action (explosives ordinance disposal (EOD), Mine Risk Education (MRE), spot-clearance and survey of hazardous areas) in, Balkh, Faryab, Jowzjan, Samangan, Suri Pul, Badakhshan, Takhar, Kundoz, Baghlan, Nangarhar, Laghman, Kunar and Noristan provinces to assist recent war affected communities in urgent need. 

MDC used the information and data which was provided by OCHA, UNOPS and the result of MDC’s initial assessment. Based on the above mentioned data and assessments, MDC found that the civilian in the above mentioned sites including (women, girls, men, and boys) face continuously to the risk of ERW when returning to their own communities. The lack of knowledge about the ERW causes continuous loss of live, obstacles and disruption to access to education, health and other socio-economic activities. So, to provide safe land for the civilian, MDC proposes to deploy 8 (MRE/EOD/Survey/ Spot-Clearance) cross trained teams, 16 MRE teams and 1 mobile project office for 6 months. These teams will conduct the MRE, survey and marking, ERW clearance/disposal of hazards where the civilians are at risk. This will make sure that the impacted communities are educated on mine/ERW risks, the hazardous areas are surveyed and marked, and all known ERWs are disposed. As a result the number of mine/ERW victims will be reduced significantly and the socio-economic activities will be started. 

Each (MRE/EOD/Survey/Spot-Clearance) team is consist of 5 person. 1 team leader/Paramedic with function of command/control, leading and medical first aid provision to related team. Two MRE trainers (couple) for conducting mine/ERW risk education in targeted communities, EOD/survey operator for spot clearance and survey and 1 guard for keeping care of base camp of the team.

Based on our calculation and last 27 years experiences the mentioned resources will enable us to achieve the project’s goals and objectives efficiently and effectively. All the above mentioned resources will be deployed in compliance to AMAS, IMAS and application of the MDC approved SOPs.

MDC will conduct regular supervision, monitoring and quality control, of the project’s activities. The project teams will be supported efficiently and effectively in the field. The project will be managed effectively and efficiently at micro and macro levels. And the project progress will be reported to the donor on time based on requirement.
Responding to displacement-induced needs of women and men, boys and girls in 5 hard to reach Districts in Ghazni, Paktika, Nangarhar and Kunar through critical Health, WASH, Protection and Food security activities. The proposed project will address the spike in needs caused by displacement. Needs are mostly connected to three main factors: shock-induced poverty (that adds to precarious economic situations pre-shock) limited availability of resources and services in the area of destination, further stretched by displacement disintegration of the protection environment, including due to the shock and lack of protective networks. Needs identified through the needs assessments (Annex 2) conducted in August 2017 are multi-sectoral and include access to adequate quantity and quality of food access to clean water, safe sanitation and basic hygiene access to a protection conducive environment and access to basic health and trauma care. The proposed project aims at narrowing the gaps in the abovementioned areas by targeting the top 30% to 40% of those in acute need of humanitarian assistance these include: 5098 individuals targeted with food assistance 28157 individuals, 90% internally displaced persons (IDPs), - + 10% from the HC - targeted with basic health, trauma care and Psychosocial support 4923 individuals targeted with water purification, 2813 with WASH kits and 1750 with access to safe and dignified sanitation and 300 unaccompanied women, survivors or at risk of GBV, specifically targeted with all the services above, plus dignity kits and Women Friendly Health Spaces.
By delivering these services, RI’s project will contribute towards: responding to immediate humanitarian needs of shock affected populations reducing protracted displacement-induced vulnerabilities and improving conditions for conflict and displacement affected communities in hard to reach areas.
In addition to direct implementation of the project detailed above, and with the aim to improve the effectiveness of this project as well as the humanitarian community’s understanding of needs in hard to reach areas, RI proposes to conduct in depth assessments in Shelter/NFIs, GBV and Health, which were not possible to conduct during the August 2017 needs assessment. Data will be disaggregated by age and gender as appropriate. In addition, RI proposes to set up stocks of basic NFIs in Ghazni, difficult to reach from other provinces due to security constraints on the main road this makes it challenging to mobilise resources on time when urgently needed. Finally, by engaging existing community networks, a variety of stakeholders from different political and ideological backgrounds, and the existing aid and government structures in place, RI will develop an extensive risk register – to include also a context assessment, actor mapping, and thorough investigation of conflict dynamics – to inform a comprehensive access strategy that allows RI to directly reach vulnerable IDPs in the target Districts.
Emergency Medical assistance to underserved populations in Afghanistan The intervention proposed by PU-AMI intends to provide a tailored localized response to the specific health needs of undeserved population in Afghanistan, specifically in Nangarhar Province. In the Eastern Region conflict and population movements (either displacements or returns from Pakistan) are depriving thousands of people, particularly women and children, of essential primary healthcare services in their villages. In Nangarhar, conflict affected populations and returnees overlap in catchment areas of health facilities located in Jalalabad and surrounding stable districts, creating a burden on the delivery of services. PU-AMI monitoring of the health systems in the Eastern Region coupled with ongoing programmes, and regular discussions with communities and health stakeholders show that the health system is failing to provide adequate services to the resident and returned/displaced population, requiring a number of targeted and tailored interventions. PU-AMI, which has extensive capacity in the Eastern Region, intends to capitalize on its experience and provide the following support: Continuation of 4 mobile health teams (MHT) in Nangarhar province (Batikot, Kama, Rodat, Chaparhar, Surkhrod, Behsud)  in settlement areas for 67,200 IDPs returnees and host population, allowing easy access to quality primary healthcare - Support to Maternity and neonatology wards of Fatime-Tul-Zohra university Hospital in Jalalabad to increase the capacity and quality of services delivered, reducing the burden on Nangarhar Regional Hospital and increasing access for 22540 women beneficiaries of the growing urban population. The planned interventions intend to provide immediate relief and assistance to population in need, while at the same time being inscribed in a vision of integration and consolidation in the larger health system, for the proper sustainability and continuation of services after the end of the project.
Construction of Triage Area in Herat Regional Hospital As part of Mass Casualty Management (MCM) preparedness plan in the province of Herat, this project proposes to construct a much-needed triage area near the entrance gate of the Herat Regional Hospital. This will allow proper space for effective and efficient triage (classification) of victims in future mass casualty events and will allow prioritization of casualties and delivery of service to those in need of life-saving interventions.
Life saving trauma and referral services for conflict affected population in Parwan, Kabul, Ghazni, Kapisa, Paktia, Maidan Wardak Provinces. Within this project proposal, EMERGENCY aims at improving access to essential health services for civilians and conflict affected population, with focus on trauma patients and war wounded and a special attention to vulnerable groups as children, women and people living in white areas providing them life support services. Type of intervention addressed: emergency trauma 24/7 within FATPS (Ghazni, Andar, Kabul, Tagab, Ghurband, Gardez, Sheikabad), OPD trauma services 24/7 and surgical treatment for war trauma patients in Kabul EMERGENCY trauma center. The relevance of the intervention is due to a several increase of the following aspects: within FATPS activities, through a comparison of the overall situation between 2015 and 2016, acquired increase are related to the tot war referrals of 15.88%, the tot non war referrals of 32.87% and the tot patients stabilized and treated of 13.20%. Within Kabul EMERGENCY trauma center, tot patients admitted in 2016 are 8.37% more than those admitted in 2015.
Overall strategy is going to be focused on staff’s training, patients’ referral and treatment.
Provision of Education in Emergencies for returnee caseloads in Kabul and Nangarhar provinces The proposed action will target 5,300 registered and undocumented returnee students in Jalalabad, Behsud, Kama, Kuzkuner and Rodat districts of Nangarhar province and in the Kabul Informal Settlements (KIS), focusing on areas where education supply is insufficient to cater for the needs of returnee populations. Through intensive coordination with the Education in Emergencies (EiE) working group and Kabul and Nangarhar’s Provincial Education Departments (PEDs), as well as field surveys in local schools and informal settlements (ISETs), ACTED and Children in Crisis (CIC) have identified high unmet education needs, that expose returnee children to protection threats and reduce their ability to sustainably reintegrate into the Afghan society. 

ACTED will supply ten existing overcrowded schools in all five identified Nangarhar districts, including five girls’ schools, with the materials that they need to properly run classes and integrate returnee caseloads. These schools will benefit from the provision of separate latrine facilities for boys and girls (output 1). In addition, ACTED and CiC will work to set up 75 temporary Community-Based Education (CBE) classrooms in ten underserved ISETs in Behsud, Rodat and Jalalabad districts and in five KIS. These CBE classes will all be properly equipped, with separate latrines for boys and girls. Students enrolling in these ISETs CBEs will receive learning materials (output 2). 

A total of 85 local and returnee teachers will be recruited, trained and paid to teach in overcrowded schools supported by ACTED (10 teachers), and in ACTED and CIC’s CBE classes in ISETs (75 teachers) so that they are equipped and trained to teach CBE curriculum. ACTED will provide all schools with teaching materials for CBE. ACTED and CIC will then run 9-month CBE programmes in their CBE classes in ISETs. This project will particularly aim to promote girls’ education, and both ACTED and CIC will mainstream protection principles in all project activities.
    
ACTED will also advocate for the creation of provincial placement staff positions within Nangarhar and Kabul’s PEDs to conduct grade equivalency tests across the provinces in order to determine the education level of returnee students who cannot document their current level of education. Currently these placement tests require that the returnee students attend testing in Kabul. Aware that such a journey for a minor is both financially challenging as well as dangerous, ACTED will advocate for the setting up of a province-level placement mechanism for ensuring students are appropriately placed academically.
Response to immediate reproductive health needs of crisis affected population, returnees and IDPs. This project is designed to support delivery of emergency reproductive health (ERH) services to target population through procurement and distribution Inter-agency reproductive health kits for crisis situations. These kits are planned to be distributed to 15 health facilities in 14 provinces of Afghanistan hosting IDP/returnees. Following kits will be procured under this project:-
 

1.	06 kits 11A and 11 B to support caesarean section and other obstetric surgical interventions.
2.	05 kits 12 to support safe blood transfusion in emergency obstetric care.
3.	15 kits 9 to support suturing of vaginal and cervical tears.
4.	15 kits 10 to support vacuum extraction during child birth  
5.	15 kits 7 to support family planning
6.	15 kits 8 to support timely management of miscarriage and its complications. 
7.	15 kits 5 to support treatment of sexually transmitted infections
8.	15 kits 6A and 6B to support normal vaginal deliveries as well as stabilize obstetric complications such as eclampsia and hemorrhage
9.	10 kits 4 to support family planning through oral and injectable contraceptives.
10.	06 kits 3 to support management of immediate consequences of sexual violence. 
11.	30 kits 2A to support home based clean deliveries
12.	Distribution of clean delivery kits to pregnant women in Target areas. 
13.	Capacity building of health workers, with a focus on the delivery, management, and use of RH kits. 
14.	20 kits 1A to support family planning.

In view of the dynamic situation on the ground and limited access by UNFPA to all areas ARCS which has branches all over Afghanistan will be used as a partner for in-country storage and distribution of kits as when needed.
Provision of Mine/Explosive Remnant of War (ERW) Risk Education in Transit and Encashment Centres for Returnees in Afghanistan. The Danish Demining Group (DDG) is the specialised mine action and armed violence reduction unit within the Danish Refugee Council (DRC). Through the proposed project, DDG will contribute to an improved protective environment and reduced safety threats for approximately 140,000   vulnerable conflict-affected Afghan returnees. DDG will provide mine and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) risk education in Kabul, Jalalabad, Kandahar and Nimrouz to all documented and undocumented Afghans returning from neighbouring Pakistan and Iran, many of whom are believed to be forcefully deported under dire humanitarian conditions. 
Armed conflict and use of explosive weapons is widespread in at least 30 out Afghanistan’s 34 provinces. Afghanistan continues to report the highest number of casualties from mines and ERW in the world. Many of the returnees are unfamiliar of the current conflict dynamics, and lack knowledge of risks of explosive hazards, and are thus increasingly vulnerable to the mine/ERW accidents. Given these protection concerns, mine/ERW Risk Education provides life-saving mitigation against these risks, and equips returnees with essential information that shall aid them during their settlement journeys in Afghanistan.
Provision of WASH, Food Security (Cash transfer) and Protection assistance for IDPs and Returnees families in Khas Kuner district of Kuner province and Khugiani district of Nangrahar province The proposed project will provide Assistance under
 SO1 amp WASH Cluster Objective 1, 15 wells will be rehabilitated in Khas Kuner district and 25 wells in Khugiani district to provide drinking water for 800 returnee families. By rehabilitation and upgrading of 8 deep wells equipped with solar water pumps, water storage and pipe schemes for1600 returnee families and 300 host community families in KHas Kuner and Khugiani. Rehabilitation of springs, water storage and extension of pipe scheme in Khas Kuner. With the rehabilitation of these springs 350 IDP families will have clean drinking water. 

Sanitation: Construction material will be provided for the construction of 250 latrines for returnees whose latrines are destroyed or have no Latrine and who still experience open defecation. 

NCRO will provide hygiene awareness training and distribute hygiene and water kits to 350 new IDP families and 250 returnee families in Khas Kunert,  100 returnee families and 650 new IDP families displaced from Chaperhar and Agam district to Khugiani district. The hygiene and water kits will be distributed from CHF/DACAAR stock.

Food Assistance: This intervention is an immediate response (Cash assistance for 2 month food package) to 70 unassisted new IDP families in hard to reach parts of Khas Kuner and 681 new IDP families of Chaperhar and Agam living in Wazir Tangi, Kamboo, Perakhell, Khwaran, Mrdar dand, Sera Qala and Sordak inaccessible villages of Khugiani district.

Protection Assistance: NCRO will train 1200 persons (600 women and 600 men) from IDPs and returnees will have awareness rising workshops to reduce the Gender base violation among the new IDPs and returnees in hard to reach two targeted districts Khas Kuner and Khugiani
