Mine/ERW Risk Education  ERW Survey and Spot Clearance Three decades of armed conflict in Afghanistan have left widespread mine and ERW contamination across the country.  The current conflict in seven provinces of Kandahar, Urozgan, Zabul, Helmand, Nangarhar, Kunar, and Laghman 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. 

Since OMAR MRE, demining and Survey/EOD teams are currently working in Kandahar, Helmand, and Nangarhar provinces, the assessment done by our field personnel shows that some of the most at-risk communities from mines and ERW contamination at the moment are living in the provinces of Kandahar, Urozgan, Helmand, Nimroz, Zabul, Laghman, Kunar, and Nangarhar 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.
Implementation of this project in mentioned location which is the provision of risk education in IDP camps and host communities,  and elimination of spot ERW to affected population not only prevent further disability by mine/ERW, but also will change their behavior to live in a peaceful environment accepting each other.
Life-Saving Emergency Trauma Care Services to Conflict-Affected People in Paktika Province through Sharana Provincial Hospital (PH) and Janikhel FATP International Medical Corps proposes to strengthen the emergency health and trauma care services in Paktika Province. The proposed program will increase access to quality emergency trauma care services through supporting a newly constructed Emergency Room (ER) in Sharana PH, reactivating and equipping the second Operating Theatre (OT) of the hospital, providing mobile trauma services and the establishing a First Aid Trauma Post (FATP) in Janikhel District. The proposed intervention will primarily serve the conflict-affected population in Sharana, Janikhel and Wazakhwa districts of Paktika. International Medical Corps will provide emergency medical supplies and medical equipment to the ER and OT of the hospital, as well as provide one standard ambulance equipped and supplied with all necessary items to provide first aid and basic life support for the most conflict-affected areas. International Medical Corps will also provide ten in-patient beds to the surgical ward of the hospital to be prepared for admitting more patients during mass casualties. International Medical Corps will also enhance the emergency services of the hospital by recruiting six professional nurses and six support staff who will provide crucial assistance to the ER, OT and mobile trauma services. Additionally, International Medical Corps will provide Mass Casualty Management (MCM) training to senior health staff, management and administrative staff of the hospital as well as related staff from the PPHD, private sector and local authorities to strengthen immediate care and the referral system, which will help the hospital to provide adequate and timely responses and care without unacceptable mortality and/or morbidity. International Medical Corps will also provide MCM simulation exercises to assess the existing capacity of the hospital in terms of mass casualty management, identify gaps for improvement, and mobilize local resources. Furthermore, International Medical Corps will construct a proper Triage Area for mass casualties, which will otherwise be used as a waiting area by patient attendants. International Medical Corps will also coordinate with WHO and PPHD to preposition standard Trauma Care Kits as a reliable, standardized, affordable and quickly available source of the essential medicines and medical supplies needed urgently in mass casualties
Build Coordinated Humanitarian Emergency Assessment Capacities in Afghanistan This project will build capacities for coordinated humanitarian emergency needs assessment using common tools for emergency response as well as soft skills for management and coordination of joint assessments, needs analysis and reporting, and protection sensitivity.

Capacity development on coordinated humanitarian needs assessments using the Humanitarian Coordinated Assessment Working Group (HCAWG)-approved common tool will be delivered through 15 national and regional trainings by three leading INGO partners of the Emergency Response Mechanism (ERM): Danish Committee for Aid to Afghan Refugees (DACAAR), Danish Refugee Council (DRC), and Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), as well as ToT material development and capacity development for dealing with large-scale emergencies.
PRRO 200447 Assistance to Address Food Insecurity and Under Nutrition The proposed project addresses urgent nutritional needs of the refugees from Pakistan settled in Khost/Golam camp and the internal displaced persons (IDPs) settled in Kabul and in Herat. The primary target group are children 6 – 59 months and pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Under the BSFP a total of 9,600 children and 4,800 PLW are expected to be assisted. Under TSFP in Hirat and Kabul a total of 33,100 children and 25,300 PLW will be reached with 2,308 MT of mixed food commodities: 86.4 Mt (Acha Mum), 297.9 MT (Wawa Mum) and 1,923.8 MT (Supercereal).  Acha Mum and Wawa Mum has as key ingredients: chickpeas, vegetable oil, milk powder, sugar, vitamins and minerals.  Acha is formulated for treatment of acute malnutrition, Wawa Mum is for prevention. The two RUSF will be procured from Pakistan while the supercereal (Corn/wheat/rice soya blend with sugar, vitamins and minerals) from Europe. The lead time to get these products in the country is in average three months. The BSFP and TSFP will be implemented by 3 National NGOs (ACTD, BDN and OHPM) and 1 International NGO (ACF). The activities will be run in close collaboration with other UN agencies, UNICEF, WHO, IOM UNHCR and MoPH/PND, CHF partners and other actors operational in the targeted locations.
The project has two distinct components: 
1. Treatment of moderate acute malnutrition: Targeting children under 5 and PLW in Hirat and KIS, screened and identified as moderately malnourished. The (MAM) children and PLW will be given a bi-weekly and monthly rations of Acha Mum and supercereal respectively in about 88 health facilities in Hirat and 15 mobile sites in KIS. The TSFP will be implemented by BDN and OHPM and ACF in Hirat and KIS respectively. Additional sites will be established based on an assessment by Partners and WFP if needs arises during the implementation period.
 2. Blanket supplementary feeding programme: The BSFP is planned to revert the trend in stunting (see below under ACF assessment reports) with the provision of nutritious complementary food (Wawa Mum) for all children under five and supercereal for PLW.  The BSFP will be implemented by ACDT who is currently supporting implementation of health and nutrition (including TSFP) services at camp with the financial and in-kind support of UNICEF and WFP. All children and PLW enrolled in the BSFP will receive a food ration of Wawa Mum and supercereal respectively for a minimum of six months.
 Behavior change communication (BCC) activities addressing infant and young children feeding practices, maternal nutrition, hygiene and sanitation will be provided to the entire targeted communities, but focusing on the project’s direct beneficiaries and their families.
Life saving trauma and referral services for conflict affected population in Parwan, Kabul, Logar, Ghazni, Kapisa, Paktia, Maidan Wardak Provinces. With this project proposal, EMERGENCY aims at improving access to essential health services for conflict affected population, providing life support services to people living in insecure areas.
The project's strategy is based on the support of the FATPs active in Parwan, Logar, Ghazni, Kapisa, Paktia, Maidan Wardak Provinces. The FATPs system ensures patients’ stabilization/treatment and when required, the referral of the war casualties cases to EMERGENCY's trauma centre or for civilian trauma to other specialized hospitals. To bring these essential services closer to the communities affected or at very high risk to be affected by conflict, is a life-saving intervention.
Multi-Purpose Cash PDM and Shelter/ Tenure Assessment for the Coordinated Response to Vulnerable, Undocumented Returnees in Eastern Afghanistan The project will simultaneously collect third-party, post-distribution monitoring, and shelter/ tenure needs assessment baseline data of previously identified, vulnerable, undocumented refugees who recently returned to eastern Afghanistan from Pakistan. The project enables a critical part of the CHF Accountability Framework for multiple, coordinated, cash-based interventions in Nangarhar and Kunar, and strategically fills a data gap that will inform the wider humanitarian response.
Shelter and NFI Response to Flash Flood and Landslide-affected/displaced Families in Takhar and Badakhshan Provinces Torrential rains and melting snow from January to March 2016 caused severe floods and landslides within 27 provinces in Afghanistan, affecting approximately 5,164 people, destroying more than 506 houses in Takhar and Badakhshan Provinces only. Further, heavy rains and melting snow in April and May caused severe flooding and landslide in Takhar and Badakhshan as well, as a result 11,660 persons were affected, 21 persons killed or injured and 1,666 houses destroyed or damaged. Concern Worldwide undertook several assessments between March and June covering all affected districts in Takhar and two districts in Badakshan. A total of 714 severely affected and displaced families of Motari sokhta, Puli Qaq, Qarabay, Gujorhal, Qazaq, Badamdara, Ahangaran, Sondozi, Shafaq, Kolabi, Nawa Abad, and Galakherman villages of Taluqan city, and Hafizan village of Rustaq district in Takhar province Ayor e bala and Ayor e payan villages in Yawan District in Badakhshan province were assessed. These families are predominantly agro-pastoral and landless laborers and have been relocated to temporary shelter camps.
Since March 2016, Concern responded initially with emergency shelter and NFI support in both provinces where access was possible. Further, in order to reduce the suffering of the 102 affected families in Taloqan, Rutaq and Yawan and which are part of the Cat/-A victims and 'priority relocation sites' as per Shelter Cluster classification, Concern has come up with this proposal which constitutes a part of its holistic approach to improve living conditions of the affected families. This project aims to: 1) provide permanent shelters to the 102 families or provide 3 months rental cost for the families whose shelters are not completed before onset of winter and provide support for winterization for 71 families which suffered partial damage of houses, 2) promotion of hygiene practices and 3) Strengthening of community's ability to manage and respond to local emergencies including post disaster reconstruction and recovery practices in order to build back better. In order to reduce the impact of severe winter on these displaced families and ensure the families return to normalcy.
Improving the Humanitarian Evidence Base and Promoting Humanitarian Action in Hard-to-Access Areas of Afghanistan Responding to critical gaps in needs data, which may reveal systemic biases in current humanitarian sectoral datasets that skew our understanding as much as overlooking the humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable female and male, children, adults, and elderly in remote, insecure, and under-developed areas of Afghanistan, this project proposes to address multi-sectoral data deficits in hard-to-access, under-served areas of Afghanistan. 

The proposed project includes a mixed-method, multi-sectoral needs assessment across five high-need, insecure provinces with lowest humanitarian presence, to understand variances of vulnerabilities and needs between ‘easy to access’ and ‘hard to access’ areas in more remote districts. The core tool will be built upon the Humanitarian Coordinated Assessment Working Group (HCAWG)- agreed household assessment tool for emergency caseloads and also some elements of the Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA), but will include further elements to address chronic humanitarian needs, such as malnutrition (including SMART anthropometric surveys), basic health, and food insecurity (following technical consultations with specialist agencies and clusters as appropriate), as well as protection issues that are difficult to uncover in surveys. 

The method will include a cross-sectional survey of 10,000 men and women across 20 provinces in five districts. It will also include further qualitative work, particularly for protection, including 50 focus group discussions, 20 key informant interviews, and 20 ‘direct observation’ missions. A significant analytical report will be released in October 2016, in line with the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO)/ Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) cycle followed by analytical outputs and research uptake activities over the remainder of the period, including engagement with the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), Clusters, and Humanitarian Response Teams (HRTs).

The project is informed by an ongoing pilot conducted by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) with ATR Consulting in Afghanistan through the NRC Innovation Fund, funded through DFID PPA. The model is piloted in Kunduz and Paktika Provinces, and the pilot data may be further included in the final reports to the CHF in addition to that mentioned above. NRC will also continue its partnership with ATR Consulting under this grant to conduct the multi-sectoral needs assessment across five high-need, insecure provinces. There will not be any overlap between current pilot costs and proposed costs, as the pilot is scheduled to have largely be completed by 4 July.
Food security support for farmers affected by wheat crop losses in Bamyan Province The proposed intervention aims to reduce food insecurity and facilitate livelihood recovery for agriculture dependent families affected by natural disaster related shocks (including flooding and wheat rust infestations) in Bamyan Province. Unconditional cash transfers sufficient to purchase two months of food will be distributed to 170 flood affected families in Bamyan Central, Sayghan, Yakawlang, Khamard and Shibar Districts, and 230 families in Panjab and Waras Districts, in order to fill existing humanitarian gaps in response to the April-June flooding in Bamyan. An additional 200 vulnerable female headed or landless families will be selected in Panjab and Waras for unconditional cash transfers to allow for two months of food purchase before winter.

Due to the high number of families in Panjab and Waras experiencing crop loss as a result of flooding and a recent wheat rust infestation, 1,100 farmers in these districts will also be selected for unconditional cash transfers to allow for purchase of two months of food and improved winter wheat seed and fertilizer in time for planting. 

In the spring, the same 1,100 affected farmers in Panjab and Waras will receive agricultural inputs (rust resistant spring wheat seed and fertilizer) to aid in livelihood recovery. Capacity building and awareness campaigns will accompany both the cash distribution to farmers before winter and the spring distribution of agricultural inputs in Panjab and Waras in order to encourage purchase and use of improved seed, as well as improved agricultural practices. Capacity building and awareness activities will also target women from the families of the 1,100 targeted farmers. Given the predominance of men in agriculture activities, it is assumed that not all families will have female representation in trainings. Based on prior experience in the project areas, Medair is targeting 550 women for capacity building.
Life-Saving Trauma Care Services to Conflict Affected Population in Kunduz,  Badakhshan and Logar provinces Save the children is currently implementing a CHF funded First Aid Trauma Posts (FATPs) project in Kunduz province. In this proposed project, Save the Children will enter into a sub-agreement with Care of Afghan Families (CAF)  to provide trauma care to the conflict affected population including first aid, triage, stabilization, emergency management and referral in the 9 districts broken down to 6 districts in Kunduz, 2 in Badakhshan and 1 district in Logar provinces. 

Save the Children aims to build on the current project and will continue to provide trauma care to the conflict affected population in six districts of Kunduz province. CAF will establish two stand alone FATPs in Tagab and Raghistan districts of  Badakhshan province and one stand alone FATP in Mohammad Agha district of Logar province to cover 126 villages.

Taghab, Raghistan and Mohammad Agha are amongst 24 priority districts identified by the Health Cluster for the 2016 second standard allocation by CHF. Based on the recent needs assessment conducted in August 2016, the data trend in the last five months (March – July 2016) indicated a gradual and constant increase in the number of conflict affected casualties in Kunduz province. The recent volatile security situation has caused such trend of conflict related casualties with substantial increase in trauma morbidity and mortality in the conflict affected vulnerable population. Considering the new emergency situation and in line with Health Cluster Objective 1: “Provision of effective trauma care and mass casualty management to conflict affected people.”  There is a crucial need for the continuation of life saving first aid trauma care in five existing FATPs located in Archi, Imam Sahib, Khan Abad, Ali Abad and Qala-i-Zal districts (one per district) of Kunduz province. In Chardara district of Kunduz province, FATP of the Comprehensive Health Center (CHC) will be relocated to Joma Bazar Basic Health Center (BHC) due to the increased number of trauma cases. FATPs will continue to facilitate stabilization, emergency management and referrals of conflict affected casualties from frontline to the referral health facilities. 
 
Save the Children in collaboration with CAF has been implementing the Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS) in Kunduz and CAF is the lead BPHS implementer in Badakhshan and Logar provinces. This structure will ensure coordinated actions between FATPs, BPHS and referral facilities between the two organizations. 

The proposed action will reach 50,559 direct beneficiaries including 20,209 women and girls. The timeline for such action is from 1 October 2016 till 30 September 2017. Badakhshan and Logar provinces from 1 October 2016 while Kunduz would be from 1 November 2016, following completion of the current CHF funded project. Save the Children and CAF will continue to implement this project in coordination with all relevant actors at the national, provincial and community levels to ensure effective and timely management of trauma cases.
Provision of emergency outpatient and tertiary healthcare, and psycho-social support services to returnees through Nangarhar regional hospital HNI TPO will provide life-saving healthcare and psycho-social support to returnees from Pakistan in Nangarhar province and in the region and IDPs affected by conflict, settled in Jalalabad city, Behsud and some parts of Surkhrod districts of Nangarhar province. The prime focus is the returnees from Pakistan where additional benefit will be reached to internal displaced people from the region and host communities. 

There are two prone approaches where firstly the services are provided by enhancing the capacity and facilities within the regional hospital, which is currently run and managed by HNI TPO. This include, the hospital is ready not only is able to meet the increased needs of the Jalalabad city due to high returnee pooling in the city but also better manage the case overload due to closure of Torkhum border and reduced medical tourism. The special focus will be to ensure the emergency, IPD, pediatric, gynecological and surgical services is elevated by increasing clinical staff, additional beds and provision of medicine and medical supplies, medical equipment. This will enable the hospital to meet the continues growing demand and increased workload due to high percentage of returnees settled in Jalalabad city. The hospital is facing many fold increase in consultations and bed occupancy is increased more than the beds available. A team comprising WHO, UNOCHA and ECHO visited the hospital in recent days whom observed the overload of the hospital and where discussion took place on needs of additional support to ensure the quality of care is not compromised and patients in dire need are not rejected due to not availability resources. 

Secondly the project will focus to ensure the returnees have access to basic primary healthcare, psychosocial and counseling services in Nangarhar regional hospital.  HNI TPO is active in the province since 1994 and has been the key organization for introducing the primary healthcare and launch of BPHS in the province. Currently the organization is providing the healthcare through the 550 beds Nangarhar regional hospital, one year training of psychosocial counselors and short term health facility staff on mental health in Nangarhar province and in the region. 

HealthNet TPO is the pioneer for Mental Health Integration into Primary Health Care and hospital services, currently providing one year counselors training and mental health training of health facility staff national wide, running family protection centers in six provinces with focus on GBV under funding from UNFPA and has extensive experience of working through mobile health team in Nangarhar and many other provinces, which are services to be provided to returnees.
Provision of emergency health services to victims of war in Laghman Province Creating no duplication, the proposed project will address SO2 of the 2016 HRP and priorities of the health cluster which will be done by providing effective trauma care and mass casualty management to conflict affected population in 4 districts of Laghman Province. 

The project will achieve this by upgrading the capacity of Mehtarlam Provincial Hospital so that it can sufficiently provide trauma trauma services to victims of war. In addition, 3 integrated FATPs linked with CHCs will be established in Alishang, Alingar and Dawlat Shah districts of Laghman Province. 

As part of PH upgrading, additional medical and non-medical staff as well as necessary medical equipment and supplies for trauma surgeries will be provided. In additional some additional medical and non-medical staff will be hired as part of the project after the infrastructure is expanded. The project will also aim to have properly equipped male and female emergency wards, triage rooms, as well as surgical supplies. As part of this, additional rooms will also be constructed as part of infrastructure upgrading efforts.

ORCD has identified this need because of the important distance between Mehtarlam and the nearby Regional Hospitals in, Jalalabad and Kabul which are already overloaded. Therefore, it is an apparent need that the provincial hospital in the hospital becomes referral point for most of the emergency war orthopedic surgeries requiring secondary care. 

The project will be implemented in coordination with the Swedish Committee for Afghanistan (being the BPHS and EPHS implementing NGO), GCMU, Provincial Health Coordination Committee (PHCC) and Provincial Development Council (PDC), all concerned provincial departments of the government as well as the Provincial Governor and other concerned governmental authorities in the province.
