Access to Quality and Safe Emergency Learning for Girls and Boys in Sar-e-Pul Province. The project will enable Afghan children to have access to education in such crisis time especially for the severely vulnerable and those from the displaced families and those who are have not been able to get access to education due to the war. CICA proposes an Education in Emergency project to respond to the education needs of the Afghan students and to ensure the displaced families and vulnerable host communities can access education and continue their learning in a safe environment. CICA will execute the project with in the guideline of its standard Educational Project mechanism.
The project goal is to directly target 6200 beneficiaries 50% girls and 50 % boys in Sar-e-Pul province. The Sar-e-Pul province districts include are SozmaQala and Gosfandi. The project will establish 30 TLS and 20 CBE in the SozmaQala district and 35 TLS and 20 CBE and build 12 tents to create a suitable study space in Gosfandi district of Sar-e-Pul province. Also, provide total 6200 out of school children with Teaching and Learning Materials (TLMs) to support them in school enrollment (3100 in Sozamaqala district and 3100 in Gosfandi). The project will engage communities by conducting awareness raising sessions on the importance of education and to make sure out of school children are registered at TLS/CBE classes to continue learning. Also, we will take into consideration the COVID19 pandemic, the proposed action enables COVID-19 preventive measures in accordance with the guidelines of the public health measures and CICA’s own Covid 19 policy. Schools and learning spaces will be provided with necessary protective material such as face masks and sanitizers and social distancing will be ensured for all in person activities. Realistic time is needed to start the project implementation, initial coordination with stakeholders and communities, selection and training of teachers, identification of venue and schools for CBE and TLS classes, enrollment of children, procurement of supplies and other preparatory activities and to ensure the project is concluded successfully according to the standard project plan CICA proposed a 12-month duration for the project to enable us to support students who are out of schools during the academic year.
Treatment of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) in children under five and pregnant  lactating women (PLW) in the prioritized provinces. Afghanistan is currently facing one of the most complex and protracted humanitarian emergencies in the world, with increasing food insecurity and high malnutrition rates. The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis, showed 22.8 million people – 55 percent of the population – estimated to be facing Emergency or Crisis levels of food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 and 4), including 8.7 million people one step away from famine (IPC Phase 4).  Across the country, 22 out of 34 provinces and 10 out of 11 major urban centres are classified in phase 4 emergency conditions. The Nutrition Cluster has prioritised all 34 provinces for the nutrition response due to the high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition across the country. The nutritional status of children under five and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) continues to be alarming in most parts of Afghanistan. An estimated 3.9 million people will suffer from acute malnutrition in 2022, including more than a million children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM), over 2,800,000 children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), and over 800,000 pregnant and lactating women (PLW) with acute malnutrition (an increase of 21 percent from 2021). The deterioration of the nutrition situation across most parts of the country is being driven by a series of complex and multi-faceted factors – including poor access to health services, acute household food insecurity, sub-optimal childcare and feeding practices, poor access to water and sanitation, as well as conflict and climate-related shocks. Despite the significant increase in the absolute number of children who received treatment for acute malnutrition over the past year, largely due to the increased number of service delivery points, a large proportion of children remain without access to nutrition services. Half of the districts in Afghanistan achieved below 50 percent of treatment coverage. Substantial expansion of the nutrition response capacity is required to fill the gap, to further meet the expanded needs, save lives, and preserve the development potential of children. With an allocation of USD 1.63 million from the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund, WFP will provide nutrition treatment services to 30,523 children under five and 9,466 PLW to rehabilitate their nutritional status and prevent them from further deterioration to severe malnutrition in prioritized provinces of Daikundi, Faryab, and Takhar within Afghanistan. With a view to provide immediate relief and prevent pipeline shortfalls for food commodities with long procurement lead times, WFP will use existing commodities from additional funding sources and AHF’s contribution will serve for pipeline replenishment purposes. As stated in the workplan WFP will be responsible for activities 1-3 activity 4 both WFP and its implementing partners will be responsible activities 5-8 will be the responsibility of the implementing partners and activities 9-12 will be carried out by WFP and its implementing partners.
COVID-19 response and case management Badghis MMRCA has implemented the Covid-19 project in Badghis province from 3rd May 2020 till 30th October 2021, after October 2021 there was no funds and donors commitment for the continuation of Covid-19 projects in Badghis. So this fund will help to resume the Covid-19 response and case management services to the entire population of Badghs province through a 20 beds Isolation ward/hospital including contact tracing, risk reduction and health education at the community level in Qala-e-Nauw district.  

The project is designed for six months from 15th May to 14th Nov 2022 and will cover the entire population of Badghis province including returnees, Kochis/nomads and IDPs. The project will mainly focus on the below activities

1.	Risk Communication /Public awareness and promoting healthy behaviors: This will be conducted through outreach sessions by dedicated staff and will be on daily basis, face to face sessions will be conducted separately with men and women, their feedback/complaint/concerns will be taken during health education sessions
2.	Early detection and surveillance of suspected cases 
3.	Contact tracing through community outreach
4.	Follow up of home quarantined people: 
5.	Taking samples for qualitative and quantitative testing at the hospital
6.	Case Management and isolation of COVID-19 suspected and confirmed cases:
7.	Infection prevention and control measures at the health facilities level
8.     Training to staff

The project will benefit 6600 population directly. 

Currently there is no commitment from any donor to support Badghis Covid-19 hospital but in case the World Bank supports COVID-19 hospital Badghis, in consultation with the Health Cluster, MMRCA will consider re-programming for the available balance.
Poultry support to vulnerable people to improve their income and food consumption score, with a special focus on female-headed households Afghanistan has faced unprecedented levels of hunger for over a year. Since September 2022, some nine in ten households have faced insufficient food consumption each month. This is more than the impending winter could cause food security to deteriorate even further, with weather conditions already disrupting some critical roads. Household incomes have continued to shrink. For the fifth month in a row, over half of households have watched their incomes decrease. These losses are widespread, with households of varying education levels and urban/rural settings all equally affected.

ADA will implement this poultry support to vulnerable people to improve their household income and food consumption score, with a special focus on female-headed households in the Dawlat Shah district of Laghman province. Under this project, we will target 1,043 households (7,300 individuals including men, women, boys, and girls). Each household will be selected through coordination with community elders and members and considering the eligibility criteria set by the FSAC. Each eligible household will be provided with a poultry package worth of USD 395 containing the following items:
1. Chickens - Qty x 30 (3 Roosters and 27 Hens)
2. Poultry Feed - Qty x 150 KG
3. Feeder - Qty x 3 Pieces
4. Drinker - Qty x 3 Pieces
5. Chicken Coop Support for Materials (25 Layer Pallets, 1 door, 2 windows, medicines, vaccines, etc.)
This will be for one-time support to the target project beneficiaries. Along with the in-kind poultry packages support we will provide technical training to the beneficiaries for enhancing their technical capacity Furthermore, we link these beneficiaries with the market and veterinary care facilities for selling their products in the market and receiving veterinary care facilities. 

It is worth mentioning that beneficiaries will be selected with a particular focus on female-headed households. Furthermore, beyond that different households will be selected based on the aforementioned criteria. Mostly at the household level, females are involved in backyard poultry and managing the business. However, in the context of Afghanistan, there are restrictions for women to visit the market for selling products or purchasing inputs Therefore, male family members will also be involved in business in terms of establishing market linkages, selling products in the market, and purchasing inputs for the continuation of the business.

This support will contribute to the increment of the target households' income and will directly affect their food security in a positive way.
Emergency Winterization Assistance in Maidan Wardak Province Given the current economic crisis combined with decades of conflict, increasingly severe climate shocks and a multitude of pre-existing needs, acutely vulnerable households remain unprotected and unprepared for the upcoming winter season. Accordingly, DRC will provide emergency assistance to 1,639 conflict and natural disaster affected households (11,473 individuals) in priority districts of Maidan Wardak province in the form of one-time unconditional, unrestricted cash-based winterization support (covering heating assistance, blankets, and winter clothing packages), complementing and closely coordinated with wider multi-sector emergency responses by DRC and partners. Specifically, cash-based winterization support ($331.10 package value) will be directly distributed to project participants (cash in hand) via a pre-contracted hawala dealer who has a reliable network of local agents and has a valid business license to enable rapid assistance to at-risk households to stock-up before the winter period, when mobility is restricted due to weather and road conditions, while allowing households the flexibility to use the cash to meet their most urgent seasonal needs. The project will be implemented in a context greatly changed by the sudden takeover of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) in August 2021 nevertheless, DRC will maintain a strong focus on protection risk sensitivity and protection mainstreaming, multi-sector integration, and consultation with and participation of affected communities, including women and girls.

All activities are closely aligned with the updated Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) and Joint Winterization Strategy, as well as the AHF cluster strategy for the Third Reserve Allocation (3RA) of 2022. Specifically, DRC will respond to critical needs and gaps identified by the Emergency Shelter / Non Food Item (ES/NFI) cluster in Maidan Wardak province, including by concentrating the response in districts with particularly severe winterization needs attributed to critical climatic conditions (altitude, temperature, and weather), prevalent food insecurity, remoteness and associated lack of humanitarian assistance, and susceptibility to shocks. DRC will target natural disaster and conflict-affected displaced people and acutely vulnerably host community members, prioritizing those who face life-threatening exposure to the elements due to their location of residence and lack of adequate shelter, and have critical multi-sector needs as well as insufficient income to afford fuel/heating themselves. With over two decades of operational presence in the Central region, DRC is well positioned to provide trusted, rapid humanitarian assistance informed by last year’s winter response that will enable acutely vulnerable families to prepare and recover from the winter season with greater resilience. The project will be tightly linked to other emergency and early recovery activities conducted by DRC and will contribute to a holistic and comprehensive multi-sector response.
Addressing the urgent reproductive health needs of crisis affected population, returnees and IDPs. The proposed project aims to respond to immediate lifesaving sexual reproductive health needs of people with limited access to reproductive health services through  improving readiness of health facilities to provide basic and comprehensive emergency obstetric care services through provision of lifesaving Emergency Reproductive Health supplies in Ghor, Faryab, Herat, Farah, Ghazni, Helmand and Wardak provinces.

About 25 percent of the population of Afghanistan do not have access to primary health-care services. Returnees, IDPs and remote host communities are the most vulnerable population with limited access to essential health services including lifesaving reproductive health and GBV/, psychosocial services. As a disaster-prone country, caseloads in flood-prone areas during spring and summer are expected to further strain existing facilities. 

Insufficient lifesaving reproductive health supplies in service delivery points including referral hospitals remain one of the major gaps in the health sector. Hence, procurement and distribution of these supplies will enable the provision of quality emergency obstetric and neonatal care as well as provision of other reproductive, maternal, neonatal, child, and adolescent health care services.


To address these gaps, there is need for immediate support for RH supplies and commodities [Inter-Agency Emergency RH Kits] to ensure availability of services at community-based and referral hospital levels. 
The proposed activities are aligned with the Response Strategy for this allocation and is an eligible action in accordance with the Health Cluster’s Key Priority Interventions: Activity 3 “Provide medical supplies, kits and equipment”.

The project will benefit 102591 individuals (84,125 women, 5,130 men, 3,078 boys, and 10,259 girls including 11,800 pregnant women) for a period of one year. 

The proposed target health facilities (regional, provincial and district hospitals) are selected as their services are overwhelmed due to increased demand for SRH services and the facilities’ low capacity for service delivery. In addition, the target provinces are home to high concentrations of IDPs which has further overstretched the already degrading capacity of health facilities.
Emergency Winterization Assistance in Maidan Wardak and Kabul Provinces Given the current economic crisis combined with decades of conflict, increasingly severe climate shocks and a multitude of pre-existing needs, acutely vulnerable households remain unprotected and unprepared for the upcoming winter season.

Essential primary healthcare and COVID-19 response services in Khost, Kunar and Laghman provinces HealthNet TPO (HNI-TPO) will provide essential primary health care and COVID-19 services to people living in under-served and flood-affected areas of Khost, Kunar and Laghman provinces. HNI-TPO is the current sole SEHATMANDI implementer for PHC and SHC services in the three provinces. The project will have six-month duration with a 3 to 4 weeks of preparatory (inception) period.

Primary Healthcare Services
The primary healthcare services will be provided through integrated Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNTs). The integrated MHNT services will consist of essential health, nutrition, psychosocial support and RCCE activities.
Khost: two MHNTs will provide the planned services in Nadirshah-Kot, Mandozai, Matoon Center (MHNT#1), Sabari, and Musa-Khail (MHNT#2) districts.
Kunar: two MHNTs in Ghaziabad, Shigal (MHNT#1), Khaskunar, and Marawara (MHNT#2).
Laghman: two MHNTs in Alingar (MHNT#1) and Alishang (MHNT#2).

COVID-19 response
The services will be provided through the provincial COVID-19 hospitals in the three target provinces (Khost, Kunar and Laghman). The services will consist of diagnoses, case management, laboratory services and PPEs. Each hospital will have 10 beds based on the current caseload.

The planned services will be coordinated with the existing SEHATMANDI health facilities currently run by HNI-TPO, to avoid duplication and missed opportunities in coverage. The project design is coordinated with the provincial Public Health Directorate and the provincial/regional WHO representatives. Coordination with PPHD, provincial/regional and central WHO and OCHA structures and other working groups will be maintained throughout the project implementation.

Access to and for the target community will be ensured through identification of the service delivery points for MHNTs in convenient locations in the target villages. The MHNTs structure will follow the recommended MoPH setup whereby female health workers (midwives, PSS officers) will provide the envisaged services to female clients. In addition to the intended health services, RCCE activities and mechanism for community feedback will be put in place to ensure two-way exchange of information. Addressing common mental health and psychosocial conditions will be an integral part of the MHNTs and COVID-19 hospitals.

The project will be supervised on day-to-day basis by the designated provincial officers while periodic monitoring from HNI-TPO country office will take place on monthly basis. The performance of MHNTs and COVID-19 hospitals will be documented and monitored through the recording of data on the planned indicators. The project will prepare and submit technical and financial progress reports to the WHO and OCHA through ReportHub and HERAMS. 


The World Bank may support the provincial COVID-19 hospitals in the next round of the Sehatmadi beyond June 2022 If the World Bank supports the provincial covid-19 hospitals in Khost, Kunar, and Laghman province from July 2022 onward, Healthnet TPO will re-program the available budget balance in consultation with Health Cluster and UNOCHA.
Providing life-saving information and dignity kits to adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women in Ghazni (center,  Qarabagh) and Herat (center, Injil,  Guzara) provinces. Afghanistan is currently facing the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. With 55% of the population in need of humanitarian assistance in 2022. According to a Global Citizen report, Afghanistan is the worst place in the world to be a woman. 

As per HRP 2022. The 2021 WoA Assessment shows that women had or perceived themselves to have less access to public spaces and services than men, with 31 per cent of female household members (interviewed across 16 provinces) reporting that at least one area in their settlement was unsafe for women and girls. Twenty-four per cent of the assessed households also reported that markets were unsafe for women and girls. Findings from a perception survey conducted in October 2021 confirm that there had been newly established rules and public announcements regarding the restriction of women’s movement outside the home without malaccompaniment (mahram) since August 2021. Lack or restricted freedom of movement will necessarily affect women and girls' access to services in a drastic way. This climate of fear, uncertainty and mobility restrictions on women will likely have a knock-on impact on women’s mental health, their ability to work, pursue education, seek life-saving services, and to participate in public and political life. At the same time, this will greatly make girls and women vulnerable to domestic and social level gender-based violence and increase their need for life-saving awareness and information.     

In direct response to this situation, CARE will implement this project with the aim of improving the health and protection wellbeing of women and girls in Balkh provinces. These locations were identified as highly in need of humanitarian support through CARE’s own needs assessments in December 2021. Additionally, these assessments recognized an ongoing lack of access to basic services, with acute gaps in access to health services, including SRH and GBV. Through this project CARE will distribute dignity kits to women and girls in areas with the greatest needs, as well as organize and provide the required orientation sessions. Through direct and indirect support, CARE will reach 71400 beneficiaries throughout the 6 month duration of this project.
