Afghanistan Community Resilience and Livelihoods Project The main objective of this project is to provide short-term livelihood opportunities and deliver urgent essential services in rural and urban areas. This immediate assistance will first provide short-term employment and income (cash for work) to Afghans while also improving access to basic services such as clean water and sanitation. Women and vulnerable groups such as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and persons with disabilities, will be assisted. Second, the Project will support community-level systems and institutions for long-term resilience, sustainability and inclusive development. These community systems lay the groundwork for citizen engagement and a more accountable, transparent recovery. International experience confirms that in similar contexts of political transitions and conflict, it is critical to maintaining livelihood opportunities, investments in basic services, as well as non-government local institutions and systems, to preserve core development gains. The WB can play an important role in building community resilience and assisting the country throughout the emergency to recover to more sustainable development phases.  \n\nA total of 1.1 million households or 7.1 million Afghans will receive livelihoods and income through this project. An estimated 9 million Afghans in some 6,450 rural communities and eight cities will benefit from services essential to meeting basic human needs
Humanitarian Call Centre Awaaz Afghanistan Awaaz Afghanistan is Afghanistan’s first nationwide inter-agency humanitarian call centre.

In an effort to respond to the humanitarian crisis, and enhance accountability and two-way communication in Afghanistan, the World Food Programme initiated and funded the call centre, identifying UNOPS as the implementing partner, jointly funded by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. \n\nHealth and Medical Procurement for the Government of Cambodia\nSupport for the procurement of medicines, diagnostics, health commodities and any other goods assigned to the activities undertaken by the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and STD (NCHADS) and the National Center for Tuberculosis and Leprosy Control (CENAT) of the Ministry of Health of the Government of Cambodia.\n
"Leaving No One Behind" through Provision of Emergency Supplies to Vulnerable People in Afghanistan 24163-001 - "Leaving No One Behind" through Provision of Emergency Supplies to Vulnerable People in Afghanistan
Afghanistan Water Emergency Relief Project (WERP) in Afghanistan Emergency renewable power to service surface water irrigation in selected rural areas. This component will finance the provision of off-grid solar systems and, where applicable emergency energy efficient equipment to support surface water irrigation in the selected areas. This will include installation of solar pump systems, and battery systems in high priority areas. These solar water pump systems will be installed to supply for irrigation to meet the needs of farmers pumping the surface water in identified rural areas. Solar pumps used for irrigation purposes will only pump surface water from rivers that have permanent water bodies and not from seasonal rivers. A solar powered pumping system consists of PV modules, a pump set, electronic components (an inverter, power conditioner or pump controller, controls/protections, batteries where required and water sensors) and interconnected cables. The size of solar pumping systems will be selected after analyzing the relevant parameters such as irrigation surface, solar irradiation water demand, water source, design flow rate, storage and location.
Salaam Support Group Project III in Afghanistan Denmark supports UNAMA and the Salaam Support Group (SSG) project under the Peace and Stabilisation funds. Since the Taliban seized power, the\nSSG has primarily supported reconciliation and peace initiatives, with a focus on local-level cohesion, inclusive political settlements involving minorities, specifically the Hazara-community, as well as support to regional stabilisation efforts in areas with minority population groups.\n\nIn December 2022, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) requested UNOPS to form phase III of the Salaam Support Group project, UNOPS is requested to provide support in fiduciary (financial) management and financial reporting.  \n
Provision of HR Services to WHO This project is to provide HR services to the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Afghanistan. WHO Afghanistan has over 200 national staff in Afghanistan countrywide, who has not been covered under UN standard legal contract, posing significant risk and liabilities to WHO and their national personnel. Specifically UNOPS provides HR support for the provision of contracts to 69 national personnel in Afghanistan thus covering them under appropriate UN legal coverage, including providing two dedicated HR assistants in Kabul.
Emergency Healthcare Assistance to Afghanistan through the Provision of Ambulances and Lifesaving Medical Supplies Decades of conflict, natural disasters, and economic shocks in Afghanistan have critically affected people’s ability to access quality health services. People living in low-income households are particularly hard hit when it comes to access to medications – already in scarce supply and double the price compared to 2022. Further, the number of available ambulances is insufficient to cover the urgent needs of people living in remote areas, increasing their vulnerabilities.\n\nThrough a $1.9 million project funded by the government of Japan, UNOPS will procure ambulances, medicine, and medical supplies and deliver them to hospitals across the country. he project is set to improve access to emergency care services for some 34,000 people. The project will cover activities for a year.
Mine Action in Support of the United Nations Assistance Mission in  Afghanistan (UNAMA) Established in 1997, the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) leads, coordinates, and implements projects and programmes to mitigate the threats posed by explosive ordnance to the benefit of millions of people worldwide.\n\n\nIn line with the changed operational context and mine action role in United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), UNMAS Afghanistan renewed its Programme Strategy for the implementation of the Mission mandate and is in alignment with the UNAMA strategy.\n\n\nUNMAS provides explosive ordnance threat assessment to UNAMA including developing and sharing information management products; advises and coordinates mitigating measures - such as survey and clearance, explosive ordnance disposal, and risk education that are bilaterally funded by donors to humanitarian mine action organizations - against explosive ordnance threat, as a Mission component.\n\n\nUNMAS supports the coordination of the humanitarian mine action sector. In 2022, the UNMAS-led humanitarian mine action coordination center successfully carried out essential coordination functions including planning and prioritization, quality management, and information management, which backstopped impactful humanitarian mine action operations in the country, ensured humanitarian prioritization of mine action, and facilitated overall humanitarian response.\n \nConcurrently, UNMAS continued advocacy efforts for the importance of continuous support to mine action activities in particular through bilaterally funding, ensuring that mine action needs are well represented under multiple UN documents and engagement platforms. UNMAS as the lead of the Mine Action Sub-Cluster (MASC) in the country under the Mine Action Area of Responsibility (MA AoR) of the Global Protection Cluster, collaborated closely with other UN agencies and humanitarian organizations in the areas of planning, prioritization, information sharing, and operations, to support humanitarian delivery and access to essential services with a greater synergy.\n\n\nUNOPS supports the work on UNMAS in Afghanistan.\n

Support to the UN-led humanitarian mine action coordination in  Afghanistan The Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement in the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs (PM/WRA) supports UNMAS AfghanistanMedia and Civilian Protection and Prevention project. The operation of the UNMAS-led humanitarian mine action coordination center in Afghanistan enables immediate mine action coordination needs to be tackled while the de facto authorities remain unrecognized and under sanction by many in the international community. Its establishment paves the way to improve humanitarian access during this critical time, while protecting civilians and humanitarian workers from explosive threats, and facilitating population resettlement and livelihood development in the long run.
