Multi sectoral tailored response to conflict affected internally displaced people (IDPs) and/or at risk communities in Ghor, Kabul and Hilmand respectively, with particular focus on hard to reach and/or complex operational districts in Afghanistan. ACF will implement activities in three provinces Hilmand, Kabul and Ghor. In Hilmand, a Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Nutrition and mainstreamed protection initiative will be implemented in 18 villages of which nine are in Nawa-e-Barakzaiy district and others in Lashkar Gah district (see annex for list of villages) because the majority IDPs and returnees continue to come in as result of the ongoing conflict in the various parts of the province. This initiative aims to increase access to safe and secure water in hard to reach areas through water points rehabilitation nd BSF distribution, and contribute to reducing incidence of water borne diseases most especially amongst children under 5 and thus child morbidity through hygiene kit distribution complimented by sensitisations [supported by ACF’s dedicated department to Mental Health and Care Practices (MHCP) and Nutrition teams at Health facility, School and community level]. In Hilmand, through AYSO as implementing and capacity building partner, 2 mobile clinics SAM, MAM, PLWs, IMNCI and Ante Natal and Post Natal Care (ANC and PNC) with mainstreamed essential care practices will be operational in Nawa-e-Barakzaiy district and neighbouring district with limited access to be confirmed (post security review). In working with AYSO, their capacity and skill will be enhanced for follow up sustainable implementation post partnership. In Kabul, treatment and prevention of acute malnourished children at HF level, and at community level, mother MUAC training and reinforcement of quality treatment of malnourishment in Kabul. ACF will further train national and international NGOs implementing Nutrition and Psychosocial actions in the health facilities of peri urban communities and directly with IDPs in KIS. This training will support the detection and referral of SAM to receive timely and appropriate treatment. This training will also reflect a broader protection and gender awareness to enhance detection of any human rights breech, and referrals for such cases will be made through ACF’s expanding thematic referral network. In Ghor, Nutrition support through one mobile clinic to reach SAM, MAM, PLWs using IMNCI consultations. ACF’s protection team working with Nutrition will utilise this access to also implement essential care practices including ANC, PNC and awareness at community levels on the rights of the child and parent. Through mobile outreach services to women, men, girls and boys directly affected by the conflict including IDPs, refugees, host communities in Hilmand and Ghor, and the provision of health, psychosocial, legal and safety services to GBV survivors and abused or exploited children, with a particular focus on children associated to armed groups and armed forces urban/peri urban communities in Kabul, ACF will also implement protection activities that maximise the impact of WASH and Nutrition services through mainstreamed protection and integrated essential care practices to tailor responses and access to responses to women, men, girls and boys with a particular focus on accessing the priorities of these groups first to ensure all responses are wanted, understood and in line with humanitarian response plan for Afghanistan 2018.
