CCCM – Provision of coordinated multisector response and protection for displaced people/communities residing in informal settlements and communal settings in Balk, Kunduz, Takhar, Badakhshan, and Baghlan provinces. UNHCR reports that 3.4 million IDPs are displaced across Afghanistan. Some 710,000 individuals were displaced since January 2021 (OCHA 2022). More than 320,000 displaced families are living in across 1,131 informal IDP sites (REACH 2020). Herat, Jalalabad, Kunduz and Mazar are one of the highest IDP concentrated cities where more than 81,428 displaced families are living across 108 informal IDP sites in urban and rural contexts (REACH 2022). Through this proposed intervention UNHCR will undertake the following: 
1. CCCM activities and multisector service provision (protection, shelter, and livelihood) targeting 276,283 internally displaced persons, returnees and host communities living in informal settlements, IDP sites and urban settings in Balkh (13,650 individuals), Kunduz (28,826), Takhar (21,063), Badakhshan (74,200), and Baghlan (138,544) provinces. CCCM activities will be conducted in coordination with existing partners in these provinces (ACTED and NRC) – Area Based Approaches (ABA) - and will involve service provision and coordination at site level through mobile CCCM teams and/or community centers. 
Through establishing 05 mobile CCCM teams or community centers, UNHCR will coordinate the provision and access to basic services and protection in accordance with CCCM standards to safeguard the dignity of people and their equitable access to basic services. 
2. Undertake (i) 05 capacity building sessions for 100 individuals on CCCM (ii) set-up complaint and feedback mechanisms, (iii) identify persons with socio economic vulnerabilities and provide multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA) to meet their most pressing basic needs, and (iv) undertake community mobilization providing literacy and embroidery courses for 50 displaced women and girls. UNHCR will provide monthly multipurpose cash assistance (MPCA) for 450 households with basic needs at a rate of $140 in line with the Afghanistan CVWG MEB and other guidance uploaded with this submission for a period of 6 months in two instalments. The MPCA will address socio economic vulnerabilities of Persons of Concern and mitigate protection risks. 
3. Provide shelter assistance through cash for transitional shelter construction to 150 HHs and shelter repair/upgrade to 400 HHs. The Cluster standard cash grant for transitional shelter of $1,879 per large family shelter will be distributed in line with cluster guidance. Cash for repairs/upgrade amount of $550, maximum, for severe damage will be distributed to 400 assessed HHs. The grant will cover labour and purchase of material paid in two instalments, first 63% for initial repair works to be completed within six weeks. The second instalment is 37% for all works to be completed within 10 weeks. Further information in BoQs. The cash transfers for MPCA and Shelter are delivered through a contract Money Service Provider (MSP/Hawala) in USD currency to enable recipients mitigate possible currency fluctuations. The MSP will receive as commission 5% of the total cash distributed.
4. Following assessments of vulnerabilities, socio-economic scoring, and skills sets, livelihoods assistance will be provided including business management and basic accounting courses to 20 heads of households, vocational training (mechanics, tailoring, carpentry) for 20 heads of HHs through functional institutions in project locations or UNHCR partner. Based on market assessments, start-up kits will be provided to 100 heads of HHs for income generating activities including animal husbandry (20 heads of HHs) and poultry (for 100 heads of HHs).
