Delivery of lifesaving nutrition services for the underserved population in Afghanistan The humanitarian outlook for 2022 remains fragile, with 24.4 million people (59 per cent of the population) projected to be in urgent need for humanitarian assistance, compared to 18.4 million in 2021. With the onset of spring, highly contagious diseases such as acute watery diarrhea (AWD), measles, water-borne infections, and vector-borne diseases (e.g., dengue fever) are anticipated. Transmission and infection rates of these illnesses will likely be exacerbated by seasonal flooding which further deteriorates the nutrition situation.

A large proportion of acutely malnourished children remained untreated. Almost half of all districts have achieved below 50 per cent of treatment coverage. Substantial expansion of the nutrition response is required to meet newly arising needs and save lives.

Through this allocation, UNICEF provides therapeutic supplies (7,086 cartons of Ready to Use Therapeutic Food [RUTF] 2,000 cartons of F75 therapeutic milk 2,000 cartons of F100 therapeutic milk and 150 cartons of Rehydration Solution for Malnutrition [ReSoMaL]) required for treatment of 7,815 children (3,517 boys amp 4,298 girls) aged under-five with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) for the prioritized locations identified by the nutrition cluster. 
UNICEF will procure the therapeutic supplies through its Supply Division (SD). Supplies will be stored at national and regional warehouses in UNICEF and will be distributed to the implementing partners (Agency for Assistance and Development of Afghanistan [AADA], Healthnet [HN-TPO], Aga Khan Foundation [AKF], Solidarity of Afghan Families [SAF], Bu Ali Rehabilitation amp Aid Network [BARAN], Bakhtar Development Network [BDN], MOVE, Just for Afghan Capacity and Knowledge [JACK], Organization for Health Promotion and management [OHPM], Coordination for Humanitarian Assistance [CHS] and the AHF recipients under the nutrition cluster) on a quarterly basis. These implementing partners have strong capacity in implementation of nutrition services in the country.

UNICEF will use complementary funding sources provide therapeutic supplies for all beneficiaries in the target locations who are not targeted by AHF funding, and also provide trainings on the Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) for the health workers and field visit monitoring to complement lifesaving treatment services addressing the needs of children with acute malnutrition in the target locations.

Outpatient and inpatient treatment of SAM are integral components of the IMAM approach, that will be delivered by the Basic Package of Health Services/ Essential Package of Hospital Services (BPHS/ EPHS) and humanitarian IPs through fixed health facilities and mobile teams.

Furthermore, SAM treatment will be provided simultaneously with the treatment of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) supported by World Food Programme (WFP), where applicable.
Provision of Emergency Healthcare Services to the People Affected by Earthquake in Southeastern Afghanistan An earthquake of 5.9 magnitude occurred in the Southeastern Region of Afghanistan (Paktiya and Khost provinces) at 01:30 local time on 22 June 2022. An aftershock hit Giyan district of Paktika province at 10:00 on 24 June 2022. Most destruction, injuries and deaths have been reported in the districts Gayan, Ziruk and Barmal of Paktika province and the districts Spera and Shamal in Khost province. The latest information shows that at least 1,040 people have been killed and 2,949 were injured and are in need of essential healthcare services. As per latest information available 361,634 people are in need of support for health services living in isolated and hard-to-reach communities that were devastated by the earthquake (Annex 1). To complicate the situation further, affected provinces (Paktika and Khost) have shown an upward trend of AWD cases.  

To bridge the identified gaps in emergency healthcare delivery, with this project, WHO will provide trauma and emergency medical supplies to the main district, provincial and regional hospitals of the affected areas including Paktika (Giyan, Barmal, Urgun and Sharan districts), Khost (Spera and Matun districts), and Paktya (Gardez district) provinces. For better management of the referred cases, WHO will also provide essential biomedical and radiological equipment, and technical support for installation, inventory and maintenance of the equipment in the main referral hospitals of the south-eastern region (Khost PH, Gardez PH, and Paktika PH). Furthermore, 100 staff from the main hospitals of the target areas (DHs, PHs, and RHs) will be trained in Mass Casualty Management (MSM) and Trauma and Emergency Healthcare to improve the quality of the services, the training will be followed by WHO Emergency/Trauma Care Officer follow ups on completion of the MSM plans for the target hospitals. Moreover, this project will support 4 major blood banks of the region (one in each province) with refurbishment, provision of medical supplies and equipment. 

WHO will also support infectious diseases outbreaks detection, verification, and response activities through enhancing surveillance system by provision of medical supplies and deployment of Surveillance Support Teams (SSTs). 12 SSTs  (2 in each target district) will be deployed to earthquake affected six districts (Giyan, Barmal, Urgun and Sharan districts in Paktika province and Spera and Matun districts in Khost province) for early detection, investigation, and response to the outbreaks. Furthermore, as a part of response to communicable diseases outbreaks, case management kits and lab diagnostic kits will be provided to the main referral laboratories and hospitals. Case management of the severe cases of infectious diseases will be supported through the provision of full support to the infectious disease ward of Paktia Regional Hospital for 5 months.
IOM Contribution to the Afghanistan WASH Core Pipeline IOM’s proposed project is in alignment with the priorities of the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund’s 1st Standard Allocation 2022 Strategy Paper (“the Strategy”), the Afghanistan Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2018-2021 and the Afghanistan Flash Appeal Immediate Humanitarian Response Needs September – December 2021 (“the Flash Appeal”). The Flash Appeal identified that WASH supplies are at risk of humanitarian supply pipeline breaks due to funding shortfalls and import clearance delays. The ICCT Pipeline Tracking Report from March -– May 2022 identifies the high risk of pipeline break for the WASH sector (hygiene kits, water kits, and chlorine provision) as well as limited resources (i.e., 3,711 water kits available for a projected need of 429,265 kits) indicating that pre-positioning is required to contribute to the core pipeline management and ensure ongoing responses.

In response to the growing amount of WASH Cluster members, specifically NNGOs, and as a Core Pipeline provider, in collaboration and coordination with DACAAR and UNICEF, IOM propose to preposition materials for either regular activities and/or outbreak response utilizing its warehousing capacity.

The project aims to make available to any WASH cluster member, utilizing the regional and national processes, inclusive of:
-	Water Kits
-	Hygiene Kits
-	MHM Kits
-	Hand-pump repair spare parts, and
-	Soap

 In total it aims to support WASH Cluster members to reach 165,000 persons with WASH Materials.
Provision of NFI and Dignity kit  to Women and Girls in Balkh and in Kabul 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 male accompaniment (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. 
 
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, Kabul, and Kandahar. 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 NFI (provided by IOM) and as well as 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 1850 beneficiaries throughout the 6 month duration of this project. The NFI kits will be provided by IOM to CARE upon registration. IOM will also transport the NFI kits either to the distribution point or to CARE's provincial warehouses.
Child protection emergency response to earthquakes affected children and families in Paktika and Khost provinces. This project will support the immediate humanitarian and child protection needs of vulnerable children affected by the earthquake in Khost (Spera district) and Paktika (Barmal, Ziruk, Nika and Giyan districts) provinces. Targeted districts are potentially affected districts by the earthquake. TACT has the experience and capacity of planning and implementation of similar projects in the targeted provinces. 
The project activities include: 
1.	Scaling up provision of PSS through  20 child friendly spaces and home based services.
2.	Identification, registration, family tracing and reunification of 250 (50% girls) unaccompanied and separated children.
3.	Expansion of Child Protection through CP-awareness raising on access to basic CP services and child protection issues including prevention of violence, abuse, exploitations, family separation and PSEA. Some 12,000 caregivers and 28,000 children are targeted for this activity. 
4.	Community mobilization for protection of children and CP-Strengthen community-based CP structures one DCPAN and 5 CPCBM in each targeted district will be strengthen through this activity.
5.	Building the capacity of CP and other Humanitarian team's (including  educators ) to provide services.
The project will provide an immediate humanitarian assistance to the child protection needs in the emergency situation of earthquake in Khost and Paktika provinces. The proposed project is planned based on the CP sub cluster’s priority activities to address the disaster in these provinces. The targeted districts are the affected districts based on the UNOCHA assessments and situation reports. According to these reports, the child protection situation is critical in these locations lots of children have lost their families and caregivers, the access to health, education, and WASH services are not sufficient, and the psychosocial situation of children is damaged due to trauma caused by the earthquake. 
 TACT is an active member of the protection cluster and child protection sub cluster, and has good coordination with the active organizations in the context of child protection. TACT has functional field offices and experience of work in the targeted provinces. TACT will coordinates the project activities with the de-facto authorities, community elders, and other active actors in the field. The community participation in all phases of the project design and implementation is considered. 
TACT responsible staff for monitoring will conduct scheduled field visits to check that the process and procedures undertaken by the implementing team is appropriate and that fund utilization is in line with the progress made as well as to support counterparts and ensure quality implementation. In addition, regular internal as well as external audits are carried out to ensure procedures are followed. Official narrative progress, final reports and other reporting requirement for the project will be submitted as required and associated with financial reports.
Emergency winter food assistance to acutely food insecure people living in IPC Phase 3 and 4 Food insecurity in Afghanistan remains alarmingly high, with 18.9 million Afghans – almost half of the population – now experiencing crisis or emergency levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above) according to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). The key drivers are economic decline, drought, high food prices and the impact of the crisis in Ukraine. 

To complement WFP’s overall crisis response, WFP will use this funding to provide 6 months/rounds of unconditional, nutrition-sensitive in-kind food assistance to 225,405 acutely food-insecure people (32,201 households) in Ajrestan (IPC 3), Balkhab (IPC 3), Bazarak (IPC 3), Keshendeh (IPC 4), Malestan (IPC 3), Marmul (IPC 4), Onaba (IPC 3), Sarrawzah (IPC 3) and Ziruk (IPC 3) districts during winter and spring months. 

Households targeted for in-kind assistance in IPC4 areas will receive a monthly nutritionally balanced 92 kg food basket comprised of 75 kg fortified wheat flour, 6.8 kg vegetable oil, 9.4 kg pulses and 0.7 kg iodized salt. This covers 75% of the recommended 2,100 kcal per person per day for a family of seven. Households in IPC 3 areas will receive 50% ration, which equals a nutritionally balanced 61 kg food basket comprised of 50 kg of fortified wheat flour, 4.5 kg of vegetable oil, 6.2 kg of pulses (yellow split peas) and 0.5 of iodized salt. In total, WFP plans to distribute at total of 11,102 MT of food. It is expected that households in both IPC 4 and IPC 3 areas will meet the remaining micronutrient requirements (including some of the vitamins and minerals) through other food sources.

The food assistance will be provided for a period of 6 months and will support beneficiaries during the winter period, ensuring needs are met as the winter season negatively affects income prospects, food prices and places additional spending burden and demand on already vulnerable families. The support is also aligned with the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster’s (FSAC) response Strategy 2021 and recommended Guidelines on humanitarian response packages.
Rapid humanitarian assistance, protection, and capacity building to conflict-affected communities in Herat and Badghis for their recovery and reaching durable solutions.    This is a CCCM focused project. NRC serve  102,698 beneficiaries  through  continue running community centres and mobile site managing the sites in the west offering intersectoral services provided by multiple actors, in three locations. Multisectoral inter-agency mobile teams to reach more remote locations will support the community centres. The intervention will seek to address chronic protection problems in the three areas to address needs holistically thereby reducing overall community vulnerability. Since key services will be co-located in one space, services will be much more accessible to affected people. Importantly, the approach will place a significant emphasis on community and wider stakeholder engagement in order to plan responses that are suitable for the specific area of intervention and in order for partners to be fully accountable to affected people. The response is characterized by three key pillars: Communication, Community Engagement and Coordination. NRC will be responsible to develop and oversee implementation of the minimum required activities highlight within each pillar below. All activities will be implemented through an age, gender and diversity lens, ensuring that all groups in a community, be it host, IDP, women, children, men, elderly, and disabled are able to safely access, and in a dignified manner, the community center.

A key component of the community centres will be protection services, including emergency cash for protection cases, site risk reduction activities, protection advocacy, including the use of monitoring reports and snapshots for evidence-based advocacy purposes, targeted protection assistance (which could encompass individual protection assistance, community protection assistance), capacity building of communities, local authorities and stakeholders on protection and humanitarian principles.

The approach relies on the close collaboration, joint planning and information and data sharing by all actors engaged in the response. Therefore, in order to achieve the above, NRC will be required to work closely with all actors present in their area of intervention, and activities will be planned together, with common tools, SOPs and processes.
Shelter Assistance to Vulnerable Families in Hirat Province of Afghanistan The 8-month ‘Shelter Assistance to Vulnerable Families in Hirat Province of Afghanistan’ project will support 642 vulnerable households to preserve their immediate safety, wellbeing and improve living standards. 

The project will provide transitional shelter assistance and repair/upgrade of shelters to 642 vulnerable households Obe and Pashtun Zarghun districts in Hirat province for safer, dignified living condition and their wellbeing. 599 households in Obe and Pashtun Zarghun districts of Hirat will be provided with in-cash shelter materials and maintenance tools in a timely manner. 471 HHs will receive the equivalent of USD 330 for minor repairs through the provision of cash and vouchers, and 128 HHs will receive the equivalent of USD 550 for major repairs through the provision of cash and vouchers. 43 households in Obe and Pashtun Zarghun districts of Hirat will be provided within-kind transitional shelter support in a timely manner. The 43 extremely vulnerable households will receive in-kind support for the construction of transitional shelters. These households will mostly be headed by female, disabled, chronically ill or children and include no male able-bodied adult. They are considered unable to contribute to their own shelter construction in any manner. The whole construction cost is covered by the project at a cost of 1,472 USD per shelter as per the ES-NFI cluster guidelines on Transitional Shelter and labour cost for support to the vulnerable households will be provided separately to align with the cluster standards..

As the primary objective is to improve the living condition of the family or household, technical support and training are a compulsory part of the project and IRW Shelter Engineering teams and social mobilizers will therefore conduct a 2 day training on to masons and carpenters etc. 

The project is in-line with the ES-NFI cluster objectives (Objective 1.1 and Objective 3.2) and the Strategic Response plan objectives (SP1.1 and SP3.2). The project is also in-line with the ES-NFI Eligible Actions as defined in activity one and activity two the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund SA1 Allocation Strategy Paper 2022. 

IRW will directly implement the project. IRW has been present in Hirat province for more than 5 years and has an existing full office set-up and human resource capacity in the province consisting of around 50 staff. IRW has good acceptance among the communities and maintains regular coordination with local authorities, clusters, and other stakeholders in Hirat province. IRW is currently implementing long-term development programmes (07 projects) and humanitarian responses (including Ramadan food, Qurbani meat, and winterization package distribution) in Hirat. Every year, IRW distributes food packages to 3,000 to 4,000 households in Hirat under its seasonal/response projects and will endeavor to ensure vulnerable households from this project are included.
Winterization support to conflict affected, natural disasters affected and vulnerable host community families in Ghor Province In line with the AHF’s 2022 3rd Reserve Allocation Strategy paper, the revised HRP 2022 SO1, and the ICCT winter prioritization, Cordaid proposes to provide winterization assistance to 1,639 conflict affected displaced, natural disasters affected and vulnerable host community families to cover the winter period in priority 3 areas in Ghor  Province (Lal wa sarjamgal district). Based on the ESNFI recommended standard modalities for winterization, Project Participant will be provided with heating assistance, blankets and winter cloth packages prior to the winter. The project is designed based on the ICCT winter Prioritization and REACH Mid-Year Whole of Afghanistan (WoAA-2022) assessments.  96% of households reported reliance on inadequate heating sources, 42% of households reported having less than one blanket per household member, and 29% of the HHS are in need of NFIs. 46% of the households don’t have access to heating devices, and 73% don’t have winter clothes for all children.

Considering the timeline of the 3rd reserve allocation and based on WoAA finding In Ghor , 85% of the total papulation preferred method of receiving cash-based assistance, the project proposes the modality of Cash based winterization support that will be implemented in a well-executed transparent manner. This will increase efficiency and effectiveness of the project and ensure that the Project Participant have the freedom, dignity and independence to have full control over the assistance and make the decision to address their urgent and immediate winterization needs.Under this project, Cordaid and OHW  will cover 1639 HHs, each of the HHs will receive cash for heating materials (US$200), Cash for Winter clothing (US$ 74) and Cash for Blanket (US$57) through cash in envelop delivered through Cordaid FSP (Boloro) in a one-off payment. Attention will be made to the proper Project Participant’ assessment and selection which will be done through door-to-door assessment by a pre-selected Beneficiary Selection Committee (BSC) comprised of Cordaid, implementing partners and representatives of the communities. This is to make sure the most eligible community members are screened and selected according to agreed criteria. The project will be implemented with the technical support from Community Development and Research Organization (OHW ) who will be sub-contracted by Cordaid for this project.
