Multi-sector emergency drought response in Faryab province of Afghanistan The action proposed qualifies as an immediate multi-sector emergency response to the current drought with integration of gender and protection, developed around engagement with local communities and local authorities. 
The activities will revolve around two main sectors: 
-	Provision of emergency WASH assistance: access to safe water and hygiene promotion 
-	Implementation of protection activities, focused on prevention and response to GBV, outreach of victims of GBV, provision of referrals systems and case management and establishment of safe spaces for women. 
The intervention aims at integrating the two sectors to provide a comprehensive response to the communities affected by drought: WASH activities including provision of safe water and attention to health and protection assistance to GBV victims and gender activities will be mainstreamed in the entire implementation through community outreach, mobilization and awareness raising. Oxfam will implement these WASH and Protection response activities in close coordination with other organizations implementing emergency food security and livelihoods activities in the same locations which will further contribute to complementarity.
It is critical in this moment in time to provide immediate support in the areas affected by the drought: 
-	In order to prevent further displacement: a significant number of communities are leaving their homes searching for water and areas suitable for agriculture and livestock 
-	In order to ensure that the conditions of women and girls do not degenerate: deep poverty and deprivation have a heavy toll on women and girls, often more vulnerable and more exposed to risks, especially GBV. 
The action will be implemented by Oxfam and two local sub implementing partners, each one with specific sector expertise, in a logic of promoting local humanitarian leadership and of broader outreach of beneficiaries, leveraging on the connection and knowledge of the territory that the local partners provide. 
In a conflict-torn country, where insecurity and poverty have been impacting local population for long, it is critical to provide immediate support and support local communities in their quest for resilience and security.
Provision of Protection Services to Conflict-Affected IDPs in Badghis Province The project aims to provide protection services to conflict-affected populations in hard to reach districts (Ab Kamari and Qades) of Badghis province. The project is based on rigorous needs assessments performed through a UNHCR funded project " IPD Protection Monitoring and Emergency Response Project" in which CRDSA along with IRC, NRC and provincial DoRR representatives assess the protection needs of the newly displaced families in Badghis province which identified 15 villages including Dehestian, Tashboolaq, Branghariha, Khoche Zard, Chalanak ha, Surakhak, Sanglaw (Ab Kamari district), Chap rood, Khod amadaha, Arbab Ali, Khalifa Ayaz, Gharchaghai, Omar Big, Zad Saleh, Haji Qurban (Qades district) with extensive protection risks among women and children. Protection assistance through the project consists of two components namely GBV prevention/response and child protection. The first component (GBV prevention and response) is providing protection assistance to address GBV among the target displaced population and host communities in the 15 named villages. The component will contribute to the cluster objectives through 3 specific interventions including 1) provision of awareness regarding GBV and ways to prevent/respond it to 2360 newly displaced individuals 2) establishment of 15 Community-Based Human Rights Committees (CBHRCs) that will work to prevent and respond to GBV using community-based approaches in the respective communities based on a CBHRC model developed by CRDSA and 3) identification of 220 GBV survivors and providing case management services including psychosocial counselling and referral to specialized health, legal and safety services. The second component (child protection) is providing protection assistance to displaced and host community children in the 15 target villages. The protection assistance includes 1) positive parenthood skills awareness raising for 1200 parents to prevent physical and psychological violence (which is increasing in emergency situation) against children, 2) providing child-friendly spaces to 4000 children to minimize the effects of the emergency on their psychosocial well-being and development, and 3) supporting 600 children who are unable to attend the school by minimizing formal/familial barriers and providing of a school-entry kit (including stationaries and a bag).
Humanitarian assistance through child protection responses to minimize risks to drought affected populations in Herat, Badghis and Helmand provinces of Afghanistan. The IRC project focuses on addressing the protection needs of children affected by drought. The IRC aims to implement a 12-month community based child protection response for at-risk children in Helmand Province (Nad-e-Ali district: Loyg Bagh Markazi, Loy Bagh Sharqi, Shin Kalay, Noor Mohammad Charahi, Group 6, District Centre villages), Badghis Province (Muqur District: Zad Naser, Mazed,Jahan Dost, Zaghar,Lamaer villages and in Ab Kamari district: Qebechaq,Amir Housain and Khaja Pasta villages) and in Herat Province (Injil district: Saidae Village, and in Kushk-Robat Sangi district: Centre of the District Village) by establishing new and strengthening existing child protection committees and Safe Healing and Learning Spaces. Children will attend Social and Emotional Learning classes and caregivers parenting sessions to address  child protection risks.
Improving accessibility of underserved population (IDPs and marginalized communities) of Jawzjan province to quality health care and nutrition services through Mobile Health Teams and fixed BPHS health facilities. To successfully achieve the intended objectives and target indicators of this project, SAF will offer mobile health and nutrition services to the IDPs and hard to reach communities in Sheberghan, Qushtepa, Darzab, Faizabad, Mingajik and Khajadoko districts of Jawzjan province with main focus on  children and women, through five fully staffed and equipped MHTs. In this way, 1 MHT will cover IDPs in Sheberghan city and Qushtepa district, 2 MHTs will cover white areas in Darzab and Faizabad districts and 2 MHT will serve the in not covered areas of Mingajik and Khajadoko districts of Jawzjan. In addition, SAF will ensure Expansion of OPD SAM in 21 BPHS sub health centers (SHCs) and supply of RUTF, RUSF, SC, MNT, Amoxicillin/Mebendazole in the selected HFs and MHTs. The project management team (project officer, project assistant and finance officer based in the provincial office and one project focal point based in Kabul) will have the capability to efficiently and transparently manage the project with the help of management team of SAF at the central and provincial levels. Required IEC and health promotion materials will be distributed among the targeted population (IDPs and marginalized communities) by the project staff at the service delivery points. Simultaneously, functional referral mechanisms among the CHWs-CHS-MHT and nearest health facilities will be established. SAF will also formulate close coordination with authorities of the provincial hospital in the province by signing MOUs with them.  As part of this assignment SAF will consider the minimum gender marker code (1) within the proposed projects. SAF will ensure that gender equality and gender awareness activities are mainstreamed within the scope of project. Accordingly, the women, men, boys and girls of all ages will benefit equally from the proposed interventions. A total of 385,972 individuals in the host communities and 5900 IDPs will directly benefit from health cluster of the project. However, the entire population of Jawzjan province will benefit from the nutrition cluster of project.
Nutritional support to drought-affected people in Faryab province This project aims to respond to nutrition needs for Faryab drought-prone province. 
The overall objective of the action is reducing the incidence of mortality and morbidity related to acute malnutrition in children aged 0 to 59 months and pregnant and lactating women in drought-affected districts of Faryab province by improving their nutritional status through access to therapeutic and targeted supplementary feeding programs. The program will be implemented in Almar, Bilcheragh, Dowlat Abad and Pashtoon Kot districts of Faryab province. The proposed action will achieve this objective, by addressing acute malnutrition amongst children under five-year-old and pregnant and lactating women, through scale up the coverage of Integrated Malmanagement of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) services and increasing the access through community outreach by Mobile Nutrition Teams (MNTs).
Through this project, AADA intends to undertake the following key interventions:
In Faryab: Currently, there are 28 active BPHS Health Facilities (HFs) including 7 Comprehensive Health Center (CHCs) 9 Basic Health Centers (BHCs) and 12 Health Sub-Centers in target districts. Outpatient Department of Severe Acute Malnutrition (OPD-SAM) service is providing through all CHCs and BHCs, but Outpatient Department of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (OPD-MAM) is not available in any of them. Through this action, AADA will establish OPD-MAM in all 7 CHCs and 9 BHCs and both OPD-SAM and OPD-MAM services in 12 HSCs. Taking into account the extra staff workload in the HSCs and BHCs, there is a need to have one additional female nurse to be recruited and trained for each HSC and BHC (separate from MoPH staff establishment) to provide nutritional cares to the targeted beneficiaries. 
Takhar: 
Moreover, two MNTs will be deployed in Belcheragh and Dawlat Abad districts. The MNTs will provide OPD-SAM and MAM services for the management of acutely malnourished boys and girls (6 to 59 months) and pregnant lactating women in remote communities living in more than 3 hours walk from the nearest HFs. 
Each MHNT will comprise a team of professionals, including a male nurse (in charge of the team), a midwife or female nurse. The mobile teams will be located in the districts and will function from there.
Breastfeeding corners will be established in 12 HSCs and nine BHCs of Faryab and will manage by a female nurse to provide IYCF-E to mothers having 0-23 months children. 
AADA is currently present in Faryab provinces providing BPHS services having access to entire population including drought-affected districts prioritized in this call. The proposed action will target 73,207 direct beneficiaries including 24,285 women and 26,389 girls. AADA will implement this project in coordination with all relevant actors at the national, provincial and communities.
Emergency Winterisation Assistance to Drought-Displaced Communities and Vulnerable Host Communities in Herat and Badghis Provinces The Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund (AHF) fifth Reserve Allocation was launched after a revision of the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), which was revised based on a situational analysis outlining the extent of the drought emergency in the North and West of Afghanistan, and following presentation of an updated humanitarian context to UNOCHA and the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) in early November 2018. Findings from recent needs assessments indicate the urgent need to provide winterisation assistance as the temperatures begin to drop in Herat and Badghis. The Reserve Allocation was therefore released to directly respond to this high priority need.

The proposed project will target drought- displaced communities in Injil District (Herat Province) and Qala-e-Naw District (Badghis Province) for winterisation support that meet Cluster specifications. In order to promote ‘Do no Harm’ and ‘conflict sensitive’ programming, and considering the chronic poverty and extreme weather conditions, winterisation assistance (as a stand-alone life-saving support) will reach host communities, neighbouring the collective sites on the periphery of Qala-e-Naw District. The project, implemented directly by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), continuing recent and long-standing interventions in these areas, is aligned with the CHF Reserve Strategy priorities, and has been coordinated through relevant fora, notably the Afghanistan Emergency Shelter and NFI (ES/NFI) Cluster. 

NRC proposes to provide winterisation support of USD $100 (~ 7,500 AFN) for 10,461 drought-affected families (53,567 individuals) as markets remain functional in target project locations. This will fill existing gaps in ES/ NFI support to the affected population and complement activities currently being undertaken through other funding mechanisms.
Emergency health response in Badakhshan and Nooristan provinces In order to answer some of the needs of drought affected population in Nooristan and Badakhshan provinces, YHDO proposes an emergency health and nutrition response to 4 categories of drought-related effects: 1) general health problems 2) water-related disease 3) airborne and dust-related disease and 4) vector-borne disease. YHDO will also ensure the referral system to HF’s managed by BPHS implementer for emergency cases encountered in project locations. In Nooristan, the 3 districts targeted are: Paroon, Noor Gram and Wama. In Badakhshan, the 5 districts targeted are: Yaftal-e-Sufla, Arghanjkhwa, Zebak, Teshkan and Keshem. YHDO will enable the following activities: 

 Establishment of 5 sub health centers in white areas of the 2 provinces 
 Enabling referral system through 8 ambulances (5 cars in white areas and 3 for existing BHCs supported)
 Support to 3 existing BHCs (2 in Badakhshan and 1 in Nooristan)
 Support to 4 existing CHCs (3 in Badakhshan and 1 in Nooristan) 
 Counselling on feeding best practices and establishment of breastfeeding corners in the health facilities (12)

The total beneficiaries reached by the project will be 16 443 individuals, as per target calculations details attached to the proposal. YHDO has been operating in Badakhshan since several years and currently implement HIV NFM project funded by UNDP in the province. YHDO also have extended network in Nooristan and smooth access to the 3 central districts targeted. In both provinces, the impacts of the drought have been observed and quantified, especially in the last months. The severity of the drought is expected to increase and cause further famine plus potential displacement in the districts affected. 

YHDO is able to deploy teams quickly, as soon as recruitment and procurement processes are completed. The organization has office and permanent team in Badakhshan province and will be provided a working and storage space in Nooristan MoPH office.
WASH emergency response in Shaidaiee, Herat Afghanistan is now in the midst of a drought. More than two thirds of the country have been affected and as a result the drought has worsened the availability of drinking water. Existing response capacity is limited and most IDPs have insufficient access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities with people living in makeshift shelters. The project aims to improve the health and quality of life of drought affected IDPs in Shaidaiee settlement in Injil district in Herat province through provision of safe drinking water to 25,000 IDPs, access to emergency sanitation facilities, providing hygiene consumables and promoting hygiene behavior change. The project is fully aligned with the Afghanistan Humanitarian Response Plan (revised in May 2018), Strategic Objective 3, “People struck by sudden onset crises get the help they need, on time” and responds to the WASH Cluster’s  Objectives, the Strategic Advisory Group’s meeting and decision from November 12th, 2018, to continue ongoing WASH responses at IDP sites in Herat under AHF 6th Reserve Allocation. The WASH cluster requested DACAAR to continue much needed WASH services to the ECHO/ERM-8 caseload in Shaidaiee IDP settlement because ECHO’s response will end on December 14th. 
The project applies an integrated approach to reducing prevalence of water borne diseases by combining hygiene promotion with sanitation and access to safe drinking water. 
DACAAR will:
- provide water by tankering: 12 liters of clean drinking water per person per day for 107 days (until March 31, 2019) for 25,000 individuals, total of 32,100,000 liters
- provide 35 new water storage containers (metallic 3,000 liters each) for the increased response of water tankering
- install 350 new emergency latrines/baths for existing and new IDPs, serving a cluster of three families of the same extended family/tribe, in line with Sphere standards. Thus, assisting 1,050 families. In case the IDPs in Shaidaiee are forced to move to a different location, DACAAR will install latrines/baths in the new location. 
- repair existing emergency latrines/baths of IDPS in Shaidaiee. In case the IDPs in Shaidaiee are forced to move to a different location, DACAAR will not repair the existing latrines/baths and instead install additional new latrines/baths in the new location. 
- provide hygiene consumables 2 times to 3,500 IDP families and in case the need arises for additional hygiene consumable or complete hygiene kits, DACAAR will request those from UNICEF or other partners. 
- provide hygiene education sessions to 3,500 IDP families.
Life-saving emergency WASH response to drought displaced IDPs living in informal settlements in Injil area in Herat Province and Qala-e-Now area in Badghis Province The project aims to address the lifesaving WASH needs of people displaced due to drought from Badghis, Ghor and Farah provinces. These internally displaced people (IDPs) are currently living in informal settlements (IDP camps) in Injil District of Herat and Qala-e-Now District of Badghis. The caseload is already established through a number of inter-cluster and interagency assessment missions and response has been ongoing since early May in Injil, Herat and since early August in Qala-e-Now in Badghis. This proposal is based on the WASH cluster strategy-note for AHF 6th Reserve Allocation (RA) 2018 and the RA strategy paper for Afghanistan and is in accordance with the national WASH cluster strategy, target and priority for the revised Afghanistan HRP targets for 2018 and 2019.

The proposed action will target the displaced families, especially young children, women, girls, boys, the elderly and the disabled living in the IDP camps in Herat and Badghis provinces. The IDP camps in Herat Province are based in Kharitstan, and Regreshun and Shahrakb. While the IDP camps in Qala-e-Naw in Badghis Province are mainly located at Baghlar and neighboring area, Jarikosh and neighboring areas and Sanjitak. Since there is a continuous movement of IDPs from one location to another, the exact number of IDPs living in each camp is constantly changing. For this reason, UNICEF and WASH partners (from separate funding mechanism), will make sure that 100% of drought IDP caseloads in Herat and Qala-e-Now are covered. UNICEF as the agency of last resort will coordinate all this effort. It is also important to note that the government is keen to relocate Herat IDPs in different location then in the areas currently served. If this happens and when it happens, project will mobilize remaining resources to cover the WASH needs of the IDPs in new location. In coordination with shelter cluster, 334 IDP families living in Firoz Koh will also receive hygiene support through distribution of hygiene consumables.

UNICEF uses partnership cooperation agreements (PCAs) to engage and work with NGOs and CSOs. In this case, NGO Coordination for Afghanistan Relief (CoAR) has been identified to support implementation. However, other NGOs such as DAACAR, World Vision with whom UNICEF has PCAs might also be used if required. The PCAs cover the period up to the end of the country programme (2015-2019). Partnerships with government counter-parts is based on rolling work plans that are signed and revised/updated on annual basis. UNICEF will use any of the existing (Government or NGO) implementing partners to undertake the proposed activities based on comparative advantage that a partner may have.
Emergency Nutrition response for internally displaced persons and vulnerable host communities affected by drought and conflict. Due to drought and conflict, the nutrition situation in Badghis province has deteriorated. In mid-June 2018, World Vision International Afghanistan conducted a multi-sectoral assessment whose results of the nutrition situation relevant indicators are as follow: MUAC measurement results show a Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rate of 32.8% (24.8- 42.0 95% C.I.) Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) rate of 16.9% (10.7 - 22.8 95% C.I.) and Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) of 15.9% (10.9 - 25.4 95% C.I.). SAM and MAM is extremely higher among girls than among boys (42.3% among girls compared to 25% among boys). The prevalence of edema is 10.9%. Children 6 to 41 months have the highest level of SAM and MAM as compared to other age categories. The results show that 150 out of 342 women had a MUAC measurement of less than 23 cm, which means that 43.8% of pregnant and lactating women are malnourished.

In Herat, WV has been providing mobile Nutrition and Health services to 9,000 IDPs households and screening data shows the prevalence of GAM is 25% (9% SAM and 16% MAM). The needs among these new IDPs are high and these are compounded by the inability of these IDPs to access services from Health facilities in Herat. 

In response, WV proposes to provide lifesaving integrated nutrition services to drought and conflict-affected IDP in Herat and vulnerable host communities in Badghis.  The proposed intervention will primarily target under -5 children and PLWs among the IDPs and drought-affected population in 4 districts of ( Abkmary, Jawand, Muqur, Bala Murghab) of Badghis and two districts of Herat Province (Injil and Zenda Jan). As per consultation with regional Nutrition Cluster and in alignment with the Nutrition cluster priority districts. World Vision proposes provision of 9 Integrated mobile Nutrition teams  ( 4 for five districts in Badghis and 5 for new IPDs in Injil and Zenda Jan districts of Herat province) for acutely malnourished children and PLWs. In addition provision of preventative services ( IYCF in emergency) for children, under-5 and PLWs across the affected districts will be done through partnership with community health workers, Family Health Action Group members and health shuras. Using these approaches World Vision will be able to reach out to more people in need by improving the capacity of health care providers, community health workers, family health action groups and health shuras to implement the quality live saving IMAM, and IYCF in emergencies. There is a total of 7 districts which will be targeted by World Vision in Herat and Badghis provinces, the total estimated SAM cases which will be covered during the course of 9-month project life will be 4,975 children under-5 with SAM, 7,772 children under-5 with MAM as well as 2,908 PLWs with MAM.

World Vision has put a higher target for SAM and MAM coverage, 75% in the rural areas which the recommended target is 50%, therefore for the 9 months target, the project will stick to the same figure for six months.
