Friendly Health Spaces (WFHS), psychosocial, legal services, referral of beneficiaries with protection
concerns to other service providers. Oxfam has achieved concrete successes in environments such as
Herat and Daikundi provinces and has an established presence in these provinces. To build on this
work, Oxfam will use the AHF 3rd Reserved Allocation-2020 funding to increase the scope and scale of
its protection activities, and to conduct awareness raising through media broadcasting in TV/radio
programming to a wider population. AHF 3rd RA 2020#s contribution to this project will support
returnees, displaced and host communities to undertake protection awareness raising, and train
community-based protection committees (CBPC) for sustainability of the project.
