Emergency transitional and shelter repair assistance in Patoo District of Daikundi Province The 2022 Afghanistan Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) aims to reach 22.1 million individuals across the country with essential life-saving humanitarian and protection assistance. "Timely, multi-sectoral, lifesaving, equitable, and safe support is delivered to crisis-affected persons of all genders and diversities to reduce death and morbidity," says the HRP's strategic objective 1. Multiple issues confronting Afghans, including La Nia-induced weather abnormalities, political transition, economic depression, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, are worsening millions of Afghans' pre-existing needs and vulnerabilities. The humanitarian situation for 2022 is still bleak, with 24.4 million people (59 percent of the population) expected to require immediate help, up from 18.4 million in 2021.
The primary goal of the 1st Standard Allocation 2022 is to raise desperately needed funding for life-saving humanitarian aid in Afghanistan. More than 70% of households reported living in a considerably or partially damaged or entirely destroyed shelter, according to the recently released "Whole of Afghanistan Assessments (WoA)" study. Given the high cost of shelter repairs and households' existing negative net income, rehabilitation is likely to be prohibitively expensive for most. Afghan families must choose between meeting their fundamental requirements and renovating their homes. Under this allocation, the ES-NFI cluster intends to provide humanitarian assistance to vulnerable persons who will be impacted by seasonal floods from April to June 2022.
AABRAR plans for Transitional Shelter (Average 7 member household) for a total of 45 HHs, Minor Shelter Repair for a total of 495 HHs, and significant Shelter Repair for 135 HHs to natural disaster households in District Patoo of Daikundi province. In addition, AABRAR has a very good presence in Central Highland region and providing emergency support services including winterization support, emergency shelters, WASH and other protection services in partnership with UNHCR and other donor agencies since 2019.
Based on the need assessment conducted by AABRAR in collaboration of ESNFI Cluster in Daikundi and Bamyan in February 2022, the response will be holistic and multi-cluster, and will scale up and address the AABRAR's existing response gap of the targeted HHs for transitional shelters and shelter repair (both minor and major). The suggested cash intervention for transitory shelter and shelter repair will close the gap that has been discovered. AABRAR will guarantee that the most vulnerable persons in need are prioritized among the impacted population categories and that the targeted HHs follow ES-NFI cluster requirements for natural disaster (flood) affected households to react to their shelter needs.
Moreover, due to availability and market functionality and beneficiary preference, AABRAR will give this support in Cash. Because other methods of cash transfer are challenging in the current situation, AABRAR has conducted similar interventions in the targeted location in the pasts. AABRAR will contract with the HAWALA system (FSP) for cash transfers to project beneficiaries. Each transfer amount should be based on the construction progress per residence in four installments or trenches for all categories even minors. AABRAR MampE and program team will supervise the transactions and cash transfers to distribution stations once AABRAR transfers money to FSP accounts. 
PDMs will be completed by the project team, and AABRAR’s MampE Department will conduct extra phone verification. AABRAR will exchange project information and participant profiles with AWAAZ Afghanistan, as well as integrate additional AAP activities, such as providing more communication channels for project participants to provide feedback and receive a response from AABRAR.
