Responding to emergency livestock and agricultural needs in Badakhshan province The population already affected by the conflict between the former government of Afghanistan and the IEA, is now facing the devastating effects of the drought that was proclaimed in June 2021. As the country slowly recovered from the severe drought in 2018 and lingering effects that remained, which were aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict, this second drought in four years is expected to have a significant impact across a large part of the country, on both rain-fed and irrigated agricultural crop production, especially cereal production during the main growing and cultivation season (May to September), and on pasture conditions and livestock health. In addition, the effects of the drought are depleting many already poor and vulnerable households’ financial and asset reserves as they struggle and resort to extremely negative coping strategies, with the poorest and most vulnerable households incurring catastrophic levels of debt.

As Badakhshan is a province that relies heavily on rainfed agriculture, its population is particularly vulnerable to drought and more likely to be food insecure. Badakshan is one of the provinces with the highest percentage of population in IPC 3 and 4. For the period November 2021-March 2022, the percentage of the population in IPC 3 and 4 in Badakhshan is expected to be 10% higher than for September-October 2021 (from 55% to 65%). 

Due to its long-standing presence in Badakhshan, ACTED benefits from a good acceptance in the communities and an experienced team that has been involved in the implementation of many projects, including food security and agriculture interventions. Through this project, ACTED is going to provide crucial livestock and food security assistance through the distribution of livestock packages (made of animal fodder and dewormer) and home gardening inputs. The assistance will target 2,857 vulnerable livestock owner HHs (20,000 individuals) in 3 districts of Badakhshan (1,500 HHs in Kishem, 700 HHs in Tagab and 657 HHs in Shohada districts). ACTED will conduct trainings for all the beneficiaries on livestock health and home gardening techniques. This intervention will enable families to meet their needs in terms of livelihood and food security, giving them a crucial support to mitigate the effect of the drought and economic shock.
Livelihood assistance to the drought-affected population in Balkh province The prolonged multiple crises unfolding in Afghanistan have had devastating effects on people’s ability to meet their daily needs and to cope with sudden shocks. The recently updated Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis shows the food security situation has further deteriorated with worrying implications for the winter lean season ahead. An estimated 22.8 million people, or 55 per cent of the population, are expected to be in crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity (IPC 3+) between November 2021 and March 2022 (AHF Allocation Strategy). The targeted province, Balkh, is considered to be in the IPC 4, in an emergency situation (IPC Analysis) and FSAC has categorized the province as at a high priority due to the number of people in need and the multiple needs to be met. Afghanistan is highly prone to natural hazards, such as floods and droughts that have badly impacted on farmers’ production capacity and livelihoods sustainability. In Balkh, 70% of participants in a recent FAO survey have declared to have suffered from recent severe/moderate food insecurity, while 22% to be in an IPC3+ situation. From the same analysis emerges that 44% of the families are suffering because of the drought and 69% suffered a less than average harvest (FAO).
To respond to the above situation, DACAAR, as part of the proposed project, will provide food assistance to 19,600 affected people, as follow:

-  distribution of home-based kitchen gardening kits and  livestock packages to 19,600 beneficiaries in line with FSAC guidelines.


DACAAR will conduct social mobilization in coordination with targeted communities, CDCs and Shura elders and relevant local sectoral authorities to ensure that the most vulnerable drought-affected population is identified and selected.
DACAAR will select a safe distribution point in coordination with the target beneficiaries and will ensure that the day, time and location for the distribution of food packages are accessible and easy to reach. DACAAR will also ensure that measures are in place for safe and non-discriminatory distribution of the packages. In addition, DACAAR’s field staff will add to the knowledge, skills and experience of the beneficiaries through on-the-spot brief hands-on demo training prior to the distribution of packages so that the beneficiaries appropriately utilize the distributed items
Meeting the education and psycho-social support needs of crisis affected boys and girls in Kabul, Afghanistan no currently served by existing EIE partners' PIN proposes to establish 40 Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) for an initial 12-month period, that are able to offer emergency affected children access to recreation, Psychosocial Support (PSS) and eventually Community-Based Education (CBE) strategy aligned education packages. These TLS’ will run two sessions per day, morning and afternoon, each serving classes of 30 children, boys and girls and in total reach 2,400 children (1,200 girls, 1,200 boys). Children reached will be those affected by emergencies and need immediate assistance to access recreation and learning environments. A whole-community approach will be taken, ensuring that not only IDP children are reached but also those from vulnerable host communities, that without EIE support, would not enroll in school. 80 Learning Facilitators, 40 women and 40 men, will be recruited from within the supported communities and trained to MOE and EIEWG standards. Each TLS will be established within tents or community assigned buildings, and where possible and appropriate, attached to Hub Schools to support eventual transition for students to formal educational institutions. All 40 TLS will be set up with EIEWG standard classroom kits, recreation kits, teacher kits, hand-washing stations, heating solutions, and textbook and learning kits for children, as well as warm winter clothing. Schools that are not attached to Hub Schools will also be provided with latrines (estimated 30 TLS). Building on the experience and knowledge of MOE, EIWG, and other EIE partners, PIN will establish and train team members on the required tools, policies, and procedures for quality implementation, efforts will be made for a gender balanced team, appropriate in the given context. PIN will fill a critical gap in existing education access not already being met by MOE or other EIE implementers and will compliment and extend MOE’s CBE strategy. Children attending the TLS will be receive access to regular and structured recreational opportunities, PSS activities, and basic literacy and numeracy support.
Life-saving integrated nutrition intervention for drought-affected populations in Murghab district, Ghor province, and in Wardoj district, Badakhshan province The proposed action’s objective is to contribute to reducing child and women morbidity and mortality related to undernutrition in Badakhshan and Ghor, the two provinces most affected by drought in the country as per the Spring Disaster Contingency Plan for Afghanistan 2021.

Action Against Hunger (AAH) aims to increase the coverage of nutrition services with the provision of an integrated package of health, nutrition and Mental Health and Care Practices (MHCP) services aimed at children below 5 years and women of reproductive age (15-49 years old), with a focus on pregnant and lactating women (PLW), who are population groups vulnerable to undernutrition. 

The services will be provided through the deployment of two integrated mobile health and nutrition teams (IMHNT), one in Murghab district of Ghor province and one in Wardoj district of Badakhshan province. The IMHNT intervention sites will be identified in coordination with the BPHS implementers and the Provincial Public Health Directorate (PPHD) to avoid duplication of services and support the communities most affected by the drought and in urgent need of nutrition interventions. 

The IMHNTs will provide out-patient services for SAM and MAM cases, and will support referral for SAM cases with complications to in patient care through the cash for nutrition approach. These activities will be complemented by a community nutrition component consisting of empowering community members on undernutrition prevention and timely case identification and referral through Family MUAC approach. To offer a comprehensive package and obtain a more impactful response, in addition to prevention and treatment nutrition services, AAH will provide primary health care services for children under five and women of reproductive age (15-49 years old), care practices stimulation sessions, IYCF awareness and counselling and psychosocial support.

One of the principal category of beneficiaries for this project will be the children under 5 years diagnosed with undernutrition. Moderate and severe undernutrition cases will be eligible for outpatient services, and severe cases with complications who need inpatient care will receive cash for nutrition component as per nutrition cluster guidance. Children with common childhood illness will also beneficiate from our services, and children with complicated health conditions will be assisted to have access to proper treatment at upper level. 

Our reproductive health component will target girls and women of reproductive age through contraceptive methods, pre and post-partum follow up, as well as safe delivery for those identified with danger signs via   the cash for Health component. All these beneficiaries will be selected as per national guidelines and guidance from different technical working groups.
WASH Emergency Response to the Drought in Districts Farah and Anar Dara of Farah Province. The 2021 humanitarian context has significantly worsened since 2020. Multiple factors have caused it: increased violence across Afghanistan, fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic, the highest registered number of returnees from Iran, scarce rain and snow precipitation that are leading the country towards a drought. The number of people in need has reached the shocking amount of 18.4 million. Specifically, the WASH Cluster has identified 8.8 million of people in need for 2021 and the situation can become more fragile if the intra-Afghan peace talks will not achieve tangible results and with the announced of withdrawal of all international armed forces by the 11th of September 2021.
With the support of UNOCHA’s 2nd Reserve Allocation (2RA) and in line with Target set out by WASH Cluster and the Humanitarian Response Plan, AABRAR will respond to the WASH needs in our two targeted districts of Farah Province through construction of bore-wells, water supply providing by trucks as a last resort, distribute of hygiene kits and provision of hygiene education covering topics as Covid-19, personal hygiene, safe water transport and storage, handwashing and waste management. AABRAR will make sure that all the activities shall address WASH needs of the targeted conflict and drought affected communities including returnees, IDPs and host communities with the main aim to protect their lives, increase resilience and the living standards of the most disadvantaged communities. Also, activities of this project are designed to decrease and avoid the spread of water-borne diseases and support beneficiaries including women to maintain their health and dignity.

In addition, AABRAR shall construct 30 bore-wells fitted with hand pumps with the objective to deliver safe water to 450 families so that they could use for drinking, personal hygiene and cooking. Also, AABRAR will make sure the supply of safe drinking water free of contamination through trucks (water trucking) to hard-to-reach areas during emergency to 500 families as last resort. Similarly, AABRAR will also make sure the supply and distribution of hygiene kits and education to 2600 conflict and drought affected families in the targeted two districts of Farah province with the objective to reduce the risk of water-borne diseases and building awareness of safe hygiene. The targeted families shall also get education of safe drinking water, safe food handling and proper hygiene as well as adequate sanitation.
Moreover, throughout the project implementation period, AABRAR will coordinate activities of the project with all concerned stakeholders including WASH Cluster, DoRR, UNOCHA, district and provincial government and concerned local communities in Farah Province.
Livelihood support to IPC 3  4 people through seeds distribution and training The focus of the project is to provide sustainable livelihoods through provision of home gardening to 3000 vulnerable households in Balkh province of Afghanistan.

Right after the IEA took control of the entire country, ordinary people have lost their income sources, partly due lack of circulation of cash, partly due to lack of support by international community. In the absence of employment, weak labor force market, weaker purchasing power, most of the communities have started to either consume or sell their surplus commodity including their assets. This situation severely affected the target population in Balkh province, partly due to drought and partly due to continued armed clashes before 15 August and combined with the economic shocks in the country. The interventions will therefore, support the farmers both male and female to support them through livelihood packages so that they can support their families as well as to sell the surplus in the local market so that the project could contribute to the supply of chain in the province.

The interventions will take place in Balkh province, The project objective is Livelihood support through Home Gardening Trainings to affected people in Balkh. The project  will contribute to HRP objective SO 1: Save lives in the areas of highest need
This emergency intervention aims to assist over a period of 6 months, vulnerable HHs affected by drought and economic shocks in Balkh province. A total of 21000 people or 3000 flood-affected, vulnerable farming HHs in  Balkh province will receive Vegetable Kit(minimum 4 different types of vegetable see, basic tool kit including spade, rake and hoe) complemented by training on improved agriculture practices
Emergency health response for underserved migrant populations in potential drought affected areas in Afghanistan In line with the Spring Disaster Contingency Plan and the AHF 2nd standard allocation strategy which calls for “resourcing … [for] health facilities, scaling-up mobile health teams and health surveillance to deal with existing health needs.” Given that funding for Mobile Health Teams under the COVID-19 response has now been exhausted IOM will provide essential basic primary healthcare through a Mobile Health modality to ensure the extension of basic primary care inclusive of psychosocial support, child and maternal care, the provision of free medicines and emergency referrals to mobile populations. IOM will also seek to recruit vaccinators in close partnership with WHO and MoPH to ensure more equitable access to COVID-19 vaccinations, and social mobilizers to lead on associated Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) awareness raising campaigns for mobile populations, including returnees, IDPs, nomads (kuchis) and underserved host communities, which presently have fallen far behind settled urban populations despite mobility acting as a clear vector for transmission and their inclusive in the National Vaccination Programme as a priority grouping. In close coordination with the Provincial Public Health Directorates, the mobile health teams will be deployed in the affected districts of Herat, Nimroz, Kandahar, and Nangarhar provinces. To improve the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine and to mitigate vaccine related hesitancy, IOM will deploy vaccinators cum social mobilizers in hard-to-reach districts as identified by IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM). 


Overall health services through this project will benefit 225,000 persons in the targeted districts/provinces. IOM will reach approximately 25,000 patients with basic consultations and treatment. Through RCCE activities, approximately 200,000 persons will be reached. IOM also intends to extend vaccinations to mobile populations, however this will depend on the reception of vaccines which are constrained by overall availability in country and other contextual factors.
Provision of emergency agricultural support to vulnerable households in Daykundi The central highland provinces of Afghanistan, especially, Daykundi continue to face the negative impacts of insecurity, natural disasters, and economic shocks.

According to recent IPC report, the shortfall expected in the winter season will further affect the farmers and inputs’ prices are expected to increase further. Apart from this, the closure of health facilities will impact the food security situation of the province. As a result, the overall food security will further deteriorate in the province and it'll remain in phase-4. Hence, Daykundi province require emergency assistance to cope with overlapping challenges including a potential La Niña-driven drought. Based on a range of weighted indicators, the province has been classified with a high level of risk of drought among the 25 most affected provinces in Afghanistan with 65% of the population projected to be in IPC 3+ during the period November 2021 March 2022.

Thus, provision of certified wheat seeds, fertilizers and vegetable seeds to households in Daykundi, will support the farmers’ livelihoods and allow them to increase their agricultural yields in the coming cultivation season. Therefore, Afghanaid proposes to support 1000HHs (7,000 individuals) in Shahristan, 1,167HHs (8,169 individuals) in Miramor, 1,000 HHs (7,000 individuals) in Ishtarlay and 1,166 HHs (8,162 individuals) in Khedir with in-kind agriculture assistance for the spring season cultivation accordingly. 

The provision of agricultural inputs to 4,333 vulnerable smallholder farmers in Daykundi will alleviate food insecurity and increase the farmers’ income from sustainable agricultural production through these inputs for season to improve productivity and households’ income. The project is aligned with the AHF 3rd reserves allocation strategy, which indicates that the impact of natural disasters has affected an estimated 13 million people in Afghanistan, with Daykundi being in the five most severely affected provinces. It contributes to the Strategic Objectives 1 and 3 and will assist vulnerable households to ensure no regression from IPC 3 to IPC 4.
The proposed project will target 4,333 vulnerable smallholder farmers (30,331 individuals) with including female headed households living in the targeted area. The seed and fertilizers will be procured and provided by FAO and Afghanaid will distribute to the target households. The present response priorities are in line with past experience and capability and represents a scale up of relief and winterization emergency activities in the target area. 
Afghanaid is well placed to implement this project, we have operations in all target districts and excellent access and strong relationships with communities as well as district and provincial authorities. Afghanaid has extensive experience in humanitarian programming, with current and recent humanitarian assistance projects in multiple provinces including Daykundi, funded by AHF and FAO. These projects include emergency livelihoods, winterization, and shelter assistance responses, using both in-kind and cash modalities.
