1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Under-reported by the media and thus less known to the outside world, Afghanistan’s humanitarian crisis is currently defined by some of the following statistics: • There are 235,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) in Afghanistan and 2.6 million registered

Afghan refugees in the region; • An estimated 7.4 million people (31% of the population) are food-insecure, of whom 5.8 million

are in rural areas and 1.6 million in urban areas; • 400,000 Afghans are seriously affected by natural disasters each year; • 15,000 people die of tuberculosis each year and one woman dies every half hour from

pregnancy complications; • Two million primary school-age children are not attending school—of whom 1.3 million are girls. Many parts of the country are inaccessible for humanitarian organisations, and the safety of humanitarian workers is also directly affected by the security situation in these areas. Since 2007, security has deteriorated significantly throughout the country, particularly in the southern and eastern regions (Kunar, Khost, Paktika) but spreading to other areas previously considered calm. Insecurity is clearly linked with the movement of insurgents into these provinces, the ongoing lack of development, and weak government institutions. Both the central and north-eastern regions, where the presence of NGO staff and programs are concentrated and where movement was previously perceived as relatively safe, have witnessed an increase in security incidents. Afghans in conflict-affected areas have increasingly faced challenges in accessing basic services, including education, healthcare, livelihoods and basic economic opportunities. Humanitarian actors have also continued to be affected by intimidation and kidnappings of national staff, which surged in April 2009. These conflict-based humanitarian needs are deepened by the extreme chronic vulnerability of much of Afghanistan’s population. Afghanistan ranks 174th out of 178 countries in the UNDP Human Development Index. It is highly prone to natural disasters: right now, severe flooding in the north and north-east of the country have exacerbated the already difficult situation of more than 22,000 households, resulting in loss of lives and productive assets. More flooding is expected as a result of continued rainfall and snowmelt during the months of June and July 2009, at a time when most agencies will have depleted their resources in the ongoing response efforts. Due to the severe under-funding of many planned projects, humanitarian organisations have not been able to fully address the effects of the previous two years of drought, which have affected the lives of 70% of the population in remote rural areas. Among the humanitarian needs described in the 2009 Humanitarian Action Plan (HAP), only the food aid component within the Food Security and Agriculture cluster has been almost fully funded, leaving most other clusters largely under-funded. One positive development in 2009 is the wheat harvest, which is forecast to be the best in 32 years thanks to abundant rainfall in March and April. With the further deterioration of the security situation that has taken place this year, there is a continued need to monitor the already fragile situation for existing and emerging vulnerable groups. For these reasons, and to continue assisting the Government of Afghanistan in addressing identified gaps, the need remains for continued funding of non-food humanitarian projects in the HAP. Thus, HAP objectives defined at the beginning of the year when the plan was launched remain valid: • Objective 1: Provide relief to conflict-affected and disaster-affected (principally drought-affected)

groups and individuals, including reintegration or resettlement support for IDPs, returnees, deportees and host communities.

• Objective 2: Monitor and advocate for the protection of civilians and for the respect of international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law.

• Objective 3: Mitigate food insecurity and treat malnutrition. • Objective 4: Improve preparedness for disasters and disease outbreaks, and related response. • Objective 5: Improve overall humanitarian access and response, including through strengthened

humanitarian coordination and capacity at national and regional level.


2

The HAP, which outlines the humanitarian community’s plans for 2009, was launched at the global level on 3 February 2009 in Geneva, with an initial request of nearly US$604 million1 to support 112 project proposals from 39 NGOs and eight United Nations organisations. This figure was later revised to $648 million with the inclusion of new projects. At mid-year, the requirements have been increased to nearly 666 million for 146 projects. As of now, the support provided by the international donor community to projects within the HAP amounts to $452 million (or 68% of the revised requirements). As part of the Mid-Year Review, clusters have re-prioritised HAP projects for urgent consideration by the donor community with a special emphasis on NGO projects, as many are still heavily under-funded.

2. CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT, HUMANITARIAN NEEDS, AND RESPONSE

Under-reported by the media and thus less known to the outside world, Afghanistan’s humanitarian crisis is currently defined by some of the following statistics: • There are 235,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) in Afghanistan and 2.6 million registered

Afghan refugees in the region; • An estimated 7.4 million people (31% of the population) are food-insecure, of whom 5.8 million

in rural areas and 1.6 million in urban areas;2 • 400,000 Afghans are seriously affected by natural disasters each year; • 15,000 people die of tuberculosis each year and one woman dies every half hour from

pregnancy complications; • Two million primary school-age children are not attending school—of whom 1.3 million are girls. Since 2007, security has deteriorated significantly throughout the country, particularly in the southern and eastern regions (Kunar, Khost, Paktika) but spreading to other areas previously considered calm, such as parts of the west (Ghor, Badghis), the north (in and around Kunduz) and in central provinces, such as Wardak and Logar, surrounding Kabul. Insecurity is clearly linked with the movement of insurgents into these provinces, the ongoing lack of development, and weak government institutions. Both the central and north-eastern regions, where the presence of NGO staff and programs are concentrated and where movement was previously perceived as relatively safe, have witnessed an increase in security incidents.3 Afghans in conflict-affected areas have increasingly faced challenges in accessing basic services, including education, healthcare, livelihoods and basic economic opportunities. Humanitarian actors have also continued to be affected by intimidation and kidnappings of national staff, which surged in April.4 The UN Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS) in February listed 93 out of a total 400 districts as ‘very high risk or extreme’ (over 23%). Compared to similar data collected in early 2008, this shows a steady increase in insecurity affecting humanitarian operations. This security reality continues to impede humanitarian access to vulnerable populations and response capacity, as humanitarian actors are often unable to travel to affected areas to verify information, assess needs and/or provide assistance. In line with the deteriorating security situation, United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) reported 800 civilian deaths as a result of ongoing armed conflict between January and May 2009. This is a 24% increase in civilian casualties reported for the same period in 2008. In April, 129 civilian deaths were reported to UNAMA as a result of armed conflict; 79 (61%) deaths were attributed to anti-government elements (AGEs), 32 (25%) to pro-government forces (PGF) and 18 deaths (14%) could not be attributed. In May, UNAMA recorded 261 civilian deaths – 163 by AGES (62%), 81 by PGF (31%), and 17 (6%) where responsibility could not be attributed. The South remained the region with the most casualties recorded. The deteriorating security situation may lead to greater displacement from conflict-affected areas, currently estimated at 235,000 IDPs.5

2 According to preliminary findings of the 2007/2008 National Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA). The NRVA is a multi-purpose household survey and the most important data-capturing exercise in Afghanistan, which provides critical poverty-based information and other socio-economic indicators at both national and sub-national levels. It is jointly conducted by the Central Statistic Office (CSO), the Ministry of Rural Rehabilitation and Development (MRRD) and WFP's Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (VAM) Unit. The on-going 2007/2008 NRVA is the third major data-collection exercise, following 2003 and 2005 NRVAs. 3 In the first such incident reported in the north since the fall of the Taliban, on 29 May the Taliban publicly executed a civilian man in Jawzak village, Qaisar District, Faryab. Attacks on journalists also continue to be reported, including the abduction by AGEs of seven civilians, five of whom were journalists from Aljazeera, in Kunar province, all but one of whom were eventually released. 4 UNDSS Afghanistan Monthly Security Assessment March 2009. UNDSS recorded 825 security incidents compared to 633, a 30.5% increase in levels of activity and remarkably higher than March 2008 (44.4%). In fact, in January and February 2009 more incidents have been recorded than for the same period in previous years, since 2001. 5 Following a profile exercise conducted by UNHCR in 2008, under the auspices of the Afghanistan National IDP Task Force. Precise data and statistics on the situation of IDPs are hard to verify since the majority of IDPs are in areas in the southern portion of the country that are difficult to access, mainly due to conflict. These include the estimated 80,000 affected by conflict in the southern and eastern provinces of Helmand, Kandahar, Uruzgan, Zabul, Nangarhar, Laghaman and Kunar. There are smaller numbers of IDPs displaced by fighting in similar circumstances in the Central, south-eastern, and north-western regions of the country, amounting to 9,901 (central: 4,915, east: 3,462 and south-east: 1,524). This total IDP figure also includes 52,422 returnees between 2005 and 2008 (all in eastern region), new drought-affected 6,598 (all in west region) and the protracted caseload of 166,153 (north: 1,843, south: 119,958, south-east: 12,341, west: 29,690 and Central: 2,321).


7

While the insecurity leads to displacement in some areas, the shifting zones of the conflict may cause some IDPs to return to their areas of origin from zones that have now become more insecure, including the South. 2008 saw the return of 600 IDP families from southern Afghanistan to their provinces of origin in the north-western part of the country. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ (UNHCR) initial expectations, that due to the increasing insecurity more IDP families in Kandahar and Helmand would opt to return to their provinces of origin particularly Faryab and Jawzan, is now becoming a reality this year with some 1,000 families already relocating from the southern region mainly to the north. Reintegration support, community reconciliation initiatives and shelter assistance will be the most-needed activities in these areas. Afghanistan is one of the world’s most landmine-affected countries. At the beginning of April 2009, there were 5,611 hazards remaining, affecting 656 square kilometres and 2,018 communities throughout the country. Although the number of victims has dropped by two-thirds since 2001, 55 Afghans per month still fall victim to mines and other explosive remnants of war (ERW), over half of whom are children. Approximately 2.7% of all Afghans are severely disabled, with mine and ERW accidents accounting for around 8.6% of this total.6 Due to the scale of the problem, the Mine Action Programme of Afghanistan (MAPA) is one of the largest such programmes in the world and in the last 20 years has cleared over 15,000 hazards. From January to March 2009 alone, the MAPA has cleared over 31 square kilometres of contaminated land, and destroyed 6,227 anti-personnel mines, 176 anti-tank mines and 217,743 ERW. Nonetheless, much remains to be done to reach the mine action benchmarks of the Afghan Compact and the Mine Ban Treaty. Mine action is not only an end in itself, removing the threat of mines, but is also essential for development. Until mines are cleared, a community’s ability to graze their animals, grow crops and access health and education services is severely limited. The deportation of Afghan illegal migrants from the Islamic Republic of Iran continued to rise during 2009. Between January and May 2009, a total of 173,968 individuals were deported from Iran, higher than for the same period last year. The vast majority (98%) continued to be undocumented single males who were working illegally in Iran, their deportation affecting family incomes.7 Assistance is provided to families and individuals identified through protection monitoring at the border, as vulnerable. These have accounted for less than 2% of all deportees. Due to the ongoing irregular migration from Afghanistan to Iran, as well as the decision by the Iranian authorities to implement a “No Go Area” for foreigners in certain provinces, the deportation of undocumented individuals and families, as well as some formerly registered refugees, remains likely. Thus the need for continued protection monitoring at the border points, combined with humanitarian and reintegration assistance for individuals and families identified to be vulnerable amongst those deported, will need to be maintained. For planning purposes, UNHCR expects the number of Afghan refugees repatriated from neighbouring countries, mainly Pakistan, in 2009 to remain at 220,000. So far however, return figures are considerably lower when compared to the same period last year. Return patterns and figures may be unpredictable, with Government policies, living costs and conditions as well as security likely to have an effect. As the decision to return is increasingly driven by factors in host countries, the reintegration process in future will likely be characterised by increased vulnerability due to insecurity, landlessness, homelessness and limited economic opportunities.8 Large parts of the country are inaccessible due to difficult terrain and climatic conditions, particularly in the central and the north-eastern regions. Each year with the approach of winter, trucks are mostly unable to reach at least one-quarter of Afghanistan’s 374 districts. Hence, the pre-positioning of food and other stocks prior to the onset of winter is a necessity. To be effective, this requires advance procurement of sufficient stocks to cover programme requirements for the winter and first months of spring. 6 Handicap International. 7 In 2007, the scale of deportations of irregular Afghan migrants by the Iranian authorities increased significantly to over 360,000. This trend continued in 2008 resulting in the deportation of 406,000 Afghans, a 10% increase over the previous year. 8 In 2008 some 278,484 Afghans were assisted to return to Afghanistan, 274,200 from Pakistan and 3,656 from Iran, and the remainder from elsewhere. Repatriation from Pakistan was driven by three main factors – the rise in prices of essential goods and services, the closure of the Jalozai refugee camp in Pakistan, and the sudden deterioration in security. In consequence, the number of returnees encountering severe reintegration difficulties increased, most visibly in Nangarhar and Laghman provinces where several spontaneous settlements of landless and homeless appeared. Some evidence of re-migration to the neighbouring countries of former returnees also emerged. Since 2002, 4.3 million Afghans have returned home with UNHCR assistance, but there are still 2.6 million registered refugees outside Afghanistan.

As a reminder of the vulnerability of Afghanistan to natural disasters, in April 2009 two earthquakes struck Nangarhar Province in the eastern region,9 in which 22 people were killed, 290 houses destroyed and 650 families made homeless. Although there were no reports of major infrastructure damage, and assistance was provided by a number of agencies and coordinated by local authorities,10

the quakes left the local population with a growing sense of insecurity towards natural hazards and highlighted the need for community-based disaster risk management. Based on the amount of snowfall recorded this year, current flooding is likely to rival that of 2005 in severity. Priorities identified for the ongoing response include emergency shelter, replenishment of depleted non-food item (NFI) stocks, timely assessments, and road and canal clearance. Serious spring flooding incidents are ongoing in the north-east (Baghlan and Badakhshan provinces), north (Jawzjan and Sari Pul provinces) and west. According to a number of assessments, largely conducted by provincial authorities, approximately 22,000 households in 13 provinces of the north, north-east and western regions were affected by floods during May. In the northern region alone, to date, 94 people have died, 5,000 houses have been destroyed, and another 3,500 houses have been damaged.11 The humanitarian response was conducted with the use of resources in-country, depleting the limited resources in stock. In some cases, particularly in the north-east, the provision of assistance was or continues to be delayed because of a lack of assessment capacity, damage to access roads and bridges, and/or insecurity. According to a recent AfghanAid assessment in some of the flood-affected areas, 94% of the households in Ghor province have low dietary diversity with very poor food consumption. In Samangan province the figures are equally alarming. The spring 2009 floods have further deepened food insecurity in the aforementioned areas. Over 5,525 hectares of agriculture land and about 4,200 fruit trees were destroyed, with some 22,000 livestock killed. Therefore new projects have been included in the HAP to target flood victims and prepare for expected flooding in the upcoming months. On the positive side, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) expects extraordinary harvests across the country this year, with an estimated yield 40 to 50% higher than last year.12 According to a report released on 2 June by the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) and FAO, Afghanistan will see its best wheat harvest in 32 years, as a result of heavy rainfall in March and April, the use of high-quality seeds, the timely control of pests and diseases, and a 20% increase in the area of wheat cultivation. The price of staple foods in local markets has also improved due to continued food assistance programmes, the importation of large amounts of wheat flour from Kazakhstan and the decrease of cereal prices on international markets. Wheat flour prices continue to fall in comparison with last year, but remain significantly higher than in 2007, before price hikes. Conditions in Afghanistan in 2009 have developed much along the lines predicted in the HAP. With presidential elections slated for August 2009, it is widely expected that the security situation will continue to deteriorate, with a resulting decrease in humanitarian access and assistance to affected populations for the remainder of the year. At the beginning of June, key elements underpinning the most likely scenario remain valid for planning purposes applying to the second half of the year: • Potential disasters like earthquakes, droughts and floods;

9 On 17 April, two earthquakes at 5.5 and 5.1 magnitude on the Richter scale struck Nangarhar Province in the eastern region of the country. 10 OCHA Afghanistan Situation Report #4 Flooding, 16 May 2009. 11 In the north, approximately 400 families in Mazar, 1600 families in Chemtal district of Balkh province, and 90 families in Faryab province requiring humanitarian support were assisted following floods in April. Assessments were ongoing following reports of new flooding in Baghlan and Balkh provinces as well. In the north-east, 800 households affected in Kishm district and 100 in Takhar province were also provided with assistance. In the west, assistance was provided to 2,000 families in ten districts of Herat province affected by floods in mid-April. Reportedly, another approximately 200 households in Farah province and 800 households in Baghdis province were also affected. Other agencies were in charge of the support as these areas are not directly accessible by aid agencies. During May, Provincial Disaster Management Committees (PDMCs) of Nangarhar and Laghman provinces estimated that a total of approximately 650 families were affected by floods in nine districts. Food, NFIs and emergency shelter were distributed and no gaps were identified in the response. 12 According to FAO, in the eastern region (Nangarhar, Lughman, Kunar), the percentage of precipitation is better than last year and the wheat-cultivated area is 10%more than last year, as is the expected yield (2.9 MT/hectare). The reasons for increasing cultivation areas of wheat are high price of wheat, good precipitation and eradication of poppy. In the western region (Herat, Ghor, Farah, Badghis), due to timely precipitation and good climatic conditions this year the winter wheat field condition is good and the spring wheat cultivation has already completed in low elevation areas while in high elevations of Ghor and Badghis are either on track or almost completed within the famers plans. Increase in the yield is expected to be good, especially under rain fed area with significant growth of wheat, chickpea lentil and other crops.

• Continued deportation of undocumented Afghans from neighbouring countries; • Reduced access to affected populations and presence of humanitarian actors, with efforts to

reinforce humanitarian response capacity and coordination taking time to deploy and roll out; • A deteriorating security situation as a result of armed conflict, with opportunistic criminal activity

becoming more widespread, and humanitarian actors and civilians are increasingly targeted or subjected to violence;

• Rural to urban migration and internal displacements throughout the country continues, and if conflict intensifies, displacement worsens;

• Mines, ERW and small arms remain a threat and hazard; • Continued drug trafficking; • A health situation that remains fragile with potential for acute outbreaks of diseases such as

cholera, acute watery diarrhoea and poliomyelitis. Access to reproductive health care remains a major concern especially skilled attendance at birth, emergency obstetric care and the limited capacity of personnel and supplies.

3. RESPONSE TO DATE, AND UPDATED STRATEGIC AND SECTORAL RESPONSE PLANS

3.A RESPONSE TO DATE Just as some of the core elements of the scenario devised in the HAP remain valid as planning assumptions, the strategic priorities that were agreed also remain valid and firmly plausible. Other elements, mainly those related to deteriorating security, are also following expected patterns. In some other cases, for the most part related to natural hazards including the severe winter, the harshest predictions have fortunately not materialized. Winter conditions in 2008/2009 were considered normal and government and international agencies were able to deliver pre-positioned resources in the most vulnerable areas. Due to adequate pre-positioning during 2008, agencies could deliver their winter 2009 assistance programmes in those areas without major setbacks. Strategic Objective 1: Provide relief to conflict-affected and disaster-affected (principally drought-affected) groups and individuals, including reintegration or resettlement support for IDPs, returnees, deportees and host communities.

As part of the efforts to provide relief to conflict-affected and disaster-affected groups and individuals, including reintegration or resettlement support for IDPs, returnees, deportees and host communities, agencies have been active in several fronts: • In terms of food distribution, WFP has distributed 115,500 MT of food to 3.7 million people since

the beginning of the year. • 112 schools were reopened in April by local communities and the Ministry of Education (MoE),

compared to 81 schools reopened in March, leaving an estimated 460 schools still closed because of insecurity (including attacks on schools themselves). The Education cluster continued to prioritize access to education in insecure areas, as well as education for returnees and IDPs, particularly in informal settlements where there is no formal or community–based education. Access to education continues to be affected by school closings due to direct attacks, including a missile attack on a school in Kunar, and children staying away due to fear of attacks.

• As part of the long-term solution for water and sanitation issues, including drought, the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) cluster partners continued to provide assistance through spring protection, piping, construction of water points and latrines, and hygiene education. Approximately 300,000 people have benefited from NGOs and UN agencies activities in WASH.

• The Emergency Shelter cluster members implemented various winterization assistance projects: IOM distributed charcoal and warm clothes; IRC carried out small-scale distribution in Land Allocation Scheme sites; CARE responded to immediate needs with mainly heating requirements in Barikap and Alice-ghan; the Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED) implemented cash-for-work, storages and training programmes for Government; and Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) distributed NFIs in Jalalabad, Herat and other places. UNHCR distributed winterization NFI assistance packages to nearly 212,000 Afghans throughout the country, also distributing to IDPs in Kandahar and Helmand provinces.

• UNHCR’s one-room shelter has been introduced as an emergency response in Kunar province in the eastern part of Afghanistan as an additional room to houses/shelters of host families. UNHCR continues to look into innovations for host families and has suggested that the one-room shelter could be introduced as part of the Emergency Shelter cluster initiatives, while at the same time recognizing different needs and approaches for the varying situations throughout Afghanistan.

Strategic Objective 2: Monitor and advocate for the protection of civilians and for the respect of international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law.

The objective of providing effective monitoring and advocacy on the protection of civilians and respect for international humanitarian, human rights and refugee law was addressed through the initiatives including: • UNHCR provided an update to the National IDP Task Force on the IDP situation in Afghanistan,

estimating the total IDPs in the country at 235,000 people, which includes both the protracted


11

caseload and the new conflict-induced displacements. Recent assessments by UNHCR and partners have identified 14,253 IDPs in Zhare Dasht camp in Kandahar province and 22,704 in Mukhtar camp in Helmand province; an additional 600 families have recently been displaced in Helmand for unknown reasons. Approximately 33,000 Kuchi nomads are currently settled on the outskirts of Kandahar and there is concern that they may be forced to move.

• Due to insecurity in Pakistan, UNHCR had to delay the resumption of repatriation of Afghan refugees from Peshawar for one month until 1 April. As of mid-June 2009, some 40,000 registered Afghans have returned and received UNHCR assistance, representing a reduction compared to the same period last year, so far.

• UNHCR, in collaboration with the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR) and other humanitarian actors, profiled IDP settlements in Herat and Kandahar as part of a larger exercise of profiling IDPs in the west and south. The exercise was completed in April and will produce more accurate information on specific IDP settlements to facilitate the identification of durable solutions.

• The Protection cluster adopted a more streamlined approach to protection issues, with a focus on serious protection problems involving civilians affected by conflicts. The cluster will also consider protection needs derived from natural disasters as necessary, in conjunction with relevant actors.13

• Issuance in February 2009 of the annual public report by UNAMA Human Rights Unit on the protection of civilians in 2008 in Afghanistan.

• The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) and an international NGO have joined the inter-agency Country Task Force for the Monitoring, Reporting and Response Mechanism on Children and Armed Conflict (CTFMRM) since the drafting of its first report. Meanwhile, the development of regional mechanisms is in progress.14

Strategic Objective 3: Mitigate food insecurity and treat malnutrition.

The mitigation of food insecurity and treatment of malnutrition continue as valid strategies of action, as malnutrition remained a critical issue in 2009 among children under five and pregnant and lactating women. This is partially a result of reduced access to health-care services during the winter, but also due to insecurity, drought, high food prices15 and the global financial crisis experienced last year. Some activities undertaken include: • Forty-four therapeutic feeding centres continued to operate in 33 provinces, and community-based

management of acute malnutrition will be expanded in Bamyan (by SCUS), Jawzan (by SC-UK and STEP), and Kandahar and Uruzgan provinces (by CORDAID and ADHS).

WFP conducted a food security monitoring exercise in December 2008, using information from interviews of 1,616 households in 34 provinces, in addition to various secondary sources. Available Food Security Monitoring System (FSMS) data suggested that: • On average, 35% of households eat below their daily requirement. This is a 5% increase from

the NRVA 2005. • Overall, 43% of the sampled households are characterized by poor food consumption scores. • 68% of Afghan households have poor food access, 21% have average food access and 11%

have good food access.

13 OCHA Monthly Humanitarian Update, Issue 5: April 2009 14 AIHRC was established on 27 July 2008 and is co-chaired by UNICEF and UNAMA. Additional members include UNHCR, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The CTFMRM drafted the first Report of the Secretary-General on Children in Armed Conflict in August 2008. On 21 November, the report was released in New York and was scheduled for review in December by the Security Council Working Group on Children and Armed Conflict (SCWG CAAC). This report covers the period from 1 July 2007 to 15 August 2008. The SCWG CAAC will issue recommendations to the Security Council aimed at exerting pressure upon parties to conflict to halt violations against children. 15 In April, the National Consumer Price Index, compared to March had decreased by 5.2%, with a drop in the food index by 8.2% points and non-food index by 0.4% points. Bread and cereal index reflected a decrease of 16.2%. Due to the recent decrease in food prices, the annual decrease in the national food index was 32.3% points. Among food items, bread and cereal annual drop is 73.1% points, whilst non-food index showed 7.4% points annual increased. During the month of April, the price of wheat flour continued to decrease following the import of large amounts of wheat flour form Kazakhstan by traders, government price stabilization programme, decrease of cereal price in international markets and continued food aid programmes. The prices of wheat flour in most of the main urban markets indicated following changes: • Decline of 5% compared to March 2009; • Decline of 45.3% compared to April 2008; • Increase of 49.7% compared to April 2007 (still very high compared to a normal year).


12

• Households in the west-central part of the country spent more than 75% of their incomes on food, while the average national proportion of income spent on food is 67%.

• Unusually high food prices and drought were the most commonly reported shocks experienced by sampled households.

Based on the 2007/2008 NRVA’s findings, WFP also undertook a cross-tabulation using the three food insecurity indicators (food consumption score, kilocalorie intake and food access) to further categorize the total food-insecure population into the following sub-groups: • total very highly food-insecure population is estimated at 2.5 million (11% of the population); • total highly food-insecure population is estimated at 1.3 million (5% of the population); • total moderately food-insecure population is estimated at 3.4 million (15% of the population). Badakhshan with more than 60% food-insecure is considered to be the worst province, followed by Ghor, Daikundi, Bamiyan, Balkh, Logar, Paktya, Khost, Laghman provinces with proportions of food-insecure populations between 41 and 60%. Strategic Objective 4: Improve preparedness for disasters and disease outbreaks, and related response.

Activities advancing the strategic priority of improving preparedness for disasters and disease outbreaks, and related response included: • Implementation of long-term WASH activities, which were halted during the winter, resumed in

April. Emergency water tankering to 5,000 returnee families—a total of 230,000 litres of safe drinking water per day—in Laghman and Nangarhar provinces in the eastern region continued and was scheduled to last until 31 May. Hygiene and sanitation education was also provided.16

• A nationwide polio campaign was undertaken in the second week of January. Unfortunately, successful implementation of the campaign in some districts of the south was delayed due to insecurity. As indicated earlier, this deteriorating security environment harmed the health status of the population, with recrudescence of polio cases since the intensification of the conflict in the southern part of the country. This outbreak is a latent check that, despite continued efforts and different innovative approaches, the polio virus continues to circulate in the region with security and access remaining the major challenges for successful polio vaccination and eradication campaigns. More than 200,000 children were not accessed during the January 2009 immunization round, mainly in Helmand and parts of Kandahar province and, as of 21 February 2009, two cases have already been confirmed, again in the south.17

• Emergency preparedness and response planning for the H1N1 flu outbreak were conducted. • The Emergency Shelter cluster, with support from the technical working group (TWG) revised the

shelter module/kit to ensure a format well adapted to the country’s reality (e.g. earthquake-resisting measures) and reviewed issues related to integrated technology and the use of local materials. However, considering the deteriorating security situation and its humanitarian consequences, the cluster realized the need for preparing shelter responses in case of a large displacement lasting more than a couple of weeks and with possible destruction of housing during conflict or natural disasters. The cluster acknowledges the need to provide solutions and implementation, with subsequent additional costs. This process has accelerated with the onset of severe flooding in the north and north-eastern regions and has proven even more necessary. The TWG is also working on a set of response “tools” that can benefit locations in the field in case of emergency.

16 OCHA Monthly Humanitarian Update, Issue 5: April 2009 17 Afghanistan is one of the last four countries in the world where polio has not been eradicated (with Nigeria, and neighbouring Pakistan and India). In 1999, 63 polio cases were recorded, with an almost even spread of reported cases between the southern, western, north-eastern and eastern regions. In 2004, confirmed polio cases had dropped to a mere total of four reported cases, all located in the south. In 2005, nine polio cases were confirmed after an outbreak of the most severe type of polio started in the second half of the year, at a time when local levels of violence rose drastically. In 2006, numbers went up to 31 while in 2007, 17 cases were recorded. In 2008, 32 confirmed polio cases have been recorded, 25 in the southern region, while the number of infected districts rose from 11 in 2007 to 13 in 2008. Most of the confirmed cases were reported in Kandahar Province followed by six cases from Helmand, five cases from Uruzgan and one case in Zabul.

Strategic Objective 5: Improve overall humanitarian access and response, including through strengthened humanitarian coordination and capacity at national and regional level.

The chief activities to improve overall humanitarian access and response, and to strengthen humanitarian coordination and capacity at national and regional level, have been: • Re-establishment of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

(OCHA) presence in Afghanistan, following the request of humanitarian agencies in 2008, with the deployment of staff and opening of an office in early 2009.

• Inter-agency assessment to Afghanistan led by WFP to identify long-term solutions for the sustainability of the Common Security Telecommunications System, as well as possible improvements to the system.

OCHA presence in Afghanistan As the humanitarian situation continued to deteriorate, the Special Representative to the Secretary-General (SRSG) highlighted the need for a dedicated and specialized coordination function. At his request, OCHA re-established its presence in Afghanistan in January 2009, following a 2008 request from humanitarian actors. While previous coordination mechanisms were supported by the Humanitarian Affairs Unit (HAU) of UNAMA since its inception in 2007, OCHA’s presence in country was deemed important by humanitarian stakeholders to provide dedicated coordination capacity to support the Humanitarian Coordinator, the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) and the humanitarian community at large. OCHA activities focus on three core functions: a) advocacy on behalf of vulnerable groups and those who assist them; b) resource mobilization to ensure adequate funding for needs-based programming; and c) coordination of needs/gaps identification and response to ensure adequate coverage and to prevent duplication of efforts. To date, OCHA has set up an office in Kabul and has sub-offices in Mazar-e-Sharif and Herat, with national staff deployed to Bamyan and Jalalabad. OCHA is expanding to have national outreach through visits to some locations (like Kandahar, Kunduz and within Central Region) and OCHA plans to open its next offices in Kunar and Kandahar as soon as arrangements for suitable office space, accommodations, and transport are finalized. Immediate OCHA priorities include information management and reporting, civil-military coordination, access monitoring and negotiation, inter-cluster coordination and support to individual clusters in improving coordination and implementing the HAP. OCHA will also seek to promote principled humanitarian action and advocate for compliance with the principles of humanity, neutrality and impartiality. Under-funding of projects The HAP, which outlines the humanitarian community’s plans for 2009, was launched at the global level on 3 February 2009 in Geneva, with an initial request of nearly $604 million to support 112 project proposals from 39 NGOs and eight United Nations organisations. It included unfunded project requests from the 2008 joint appeal, which had been prompted by the high food price crisis. As of mid-year, this amount has been increased to nearly $666 million. The support to date provided by the donor community to projects within the HAP amounts to $452 million or 68% of the revised requirements. The food cluster is 92% funded, but the majority of this funding only supports food aid - not food security and agriculture-based livelihoods recovery projects. The health and agriculture sectors are most severely under-funded.18 The total of available resources includes carry-over from 2008 ($208 million, largely by WFP) as well as Central Emergency Relief Fund (CERF) grants of $4.16 million, for which the HCT appealed under the Rapid Response Window to address time-critical, life-saving response programmes. It is noteworthy that in addition to the carry-over, donors have provided $244 million in new funding for this action plan. 18 See Table VIII, p. 25, which shows HAP requirements and funding to date per IASC standard sector. In the cluster groupings adopted in Afghanistan, agriculture is combined with food aid to form the Food Security and Agriculture Cluster; its funding is shown on Table I, p. 3. However the solid funding for food activities obscures the under-funding for agriculture on this table. In the IASC standard sectors shown on Table VIII, agriculture is separate from food.


14

The HAP is a valuable tool for coordinating activities and identifying vulnerable populations in need of assistance, and donors are encouraged to refer first and foremost to the peer-reviewed, coordinated project proposals in this appeal. In terms of funding priorities, it was agreed at the inter-cluster level in Kabul to prioritize unfunded NGO projects in the HAP over UN projects. Coordination arrangements The cluster approach was adopted in April 2008 and eight clusters were activated at national level by early August 2008. Later, a Logistics Cluster Working Group was also established and included as an additional structure within the cluster approach in Afghanistan. OCHA supported the fledgling group by assigning a logistician with WFP to help coordinate the group, which will discuss common logistics issues and identify possible improvements, such as those related to air transport and customs clearance, to the benefit of the humanitarian community in Afghanistan. The current coordination arrangements agreed by the HCT in Afghanistan following the cluster approach are as follows:

Cluster Lead – Co-lead Education UNICEF – Save the Children Emergency Shelter UNHCR – Care Emergency Telecommunications WFP Food Security and Agriculture WFP / FAO Health WHO Nutrition UNICEF / FAO Protection UNHCR – NRC/UNAMA HR Water/Sanitation UNICEF – DACAAR Logistics WFP

With OCHA present in the country, a series of other coordination fora are also in place on a more regular basis, either to discuss more general overarching issues or specifics governing implementation of projects within certain clusters. In that regard, on a monthly basis OCHA organizes: • UN NGO Donors meetings, as an information-sharing forum; • HCT meetings, which includes UN agencies and NGOs and acts as a decision-making body for

issues of humanitarian concern; • inter-cluster coordination meetings where common issues related to the clusters are agreed; • all clusters also conduct their own specific cluster coordination meetings on assigned dates

during the month. There is also a Civil-Military Working Group in place and another Working Group on Gender-Based Violence (GBV); the latter is currently undertaking a mapping of NGOs providing GBV-related services in Herat and Mazar. Because of the relatively recent establishment of the cluster approach in Afghanistan and since most agencies have been working on a developmental agenda, clusters have not yet been set up at the provincial level. There is a need to build on current agency presence and coordination structures in the provinces to assimilate the benefits of the cluster approach into the provincial coordination schemes, rather than endeavouring to replicate the Kabul model. While OCHA is setting up its presence in the provinces, there is a need to continue working with UNAMA HAU in taking forward that coordinating process and building linkages between coordination at the national and sub-national levels.

3.B UPDATED STRATEGIC PRIORITIES With the continuation of the underlying context, which, as reported earlier, matches the most credible scenario considered in the HAP for this year, the overall strategic priorities continue unchanged for the rest of the year.

3.C RESPONSE TO DATE PER CLUSTER AND UPDATED SECTOR RESPONSE PLANS EDUCATION 1) Progress in achieving the cluster’s planned outputs

Output Planned in HAP Achieved as of mid-year Increased educational access of children in ongoing, chronic conflict, with emphasis on girls and vulnerable children at least by 25% through the end of 2010.

1. Through MoE efforts, 30% of the closed schools were reopened (200 schools reopened out of a total of 651);

2. 1,900 IDPs and returnee children from conflict-affected areas are being provided with educational access in IDP camps;

3. 267 students (166 girls) in Kushki Khna district of Herat, where there is continued insecurity related to AGEs, are studying in supported community based education classes.

4. Psychosocial support training provided to 878 teacher counsellors in Helmand, Ghazni, Paktia, Loghar and Jawzjan.

5. Food assistance provided to more than 23,000 school children in insecure provinces (Kandahar, Helmand, Uruzgan, Zabul and Nimroz).

At least 50% of the children living in areas affected by natural disasters are supported to continue their education

1. 584,237 students and 12,246 teachers in warm climate areas continue education in winter period without any disruption due to the cold weather.

1. Non-Food Items (NFIs) were provided for the provinces as part of the preparedness /response for 2008-2009 winterization: 25,507 Bukhari; 27,843,188 kg firewood; 4,508 tents; 33,350 floor mats; 27,980 plastic sheets; 5,018 blankets.

2. 7,850 children and 50 teachers were provided with emergency education supplies and classroom tents after the earthquake in Shirzad district, Nangarhar.

3. Nine tents were provided to flood-affected schools in Faryab.

4. Children of flood-affected schools were provided with food assistance in Badakhshan and Takhar provinces.

Strengthened Education cluster capacity for coordinated emergency preparedness and response.

1. 631 staff of the Education cluster organizations will have participated in the Inter-agency Network on Education in Emergencies (INEE) Minimum Standards Training of Trainers (ToT) capacity-building workshop;

2. 160 MoE officials (30% female) will have been trained in INEE Minimum Standards; and

3. A total of 2,000 volumes of INEE handbooks will have been printed and distributed.

1. "Community-Based Disaster Risk Management" and "Participatory Assessment Disaster Risk" trainings to mobilize students against natural disasters were conducted in one male school and another female school in Faryab.

2) Changes in the cluster objectives: The Education cluster reviewed the stated objectives from the beginning of the year and agreed to changes in the objectives, as below: 1. At least 80% of school-age children in conflict-affected areas, with focus on girls, have access to

quality basic education until the end of 2010. 2. At least 90% of children living in the areas affected by natural disasters are supported to

continue their education. 3. Strengthened Education cluster capacity for coordinated emergency preparedness and

response (e.g. conducting capacity mapping of partners, training needs assessment and provision of appropriate trainings to the MoE and cluster partners).


16

3) Changes to the cluster’s projects • Due to the deteriorating security situation and its negative impact on education, more projects

are needed to support children’s access to education, with some focus on vulnerable populations (IDPs, returnees, girls etc). Disaster risk reduction activities at schools and communities in conflict-affected areas are also being planned.

• Due to the current success of the MoE in reopening schools, the education cluster is optimistic about achieving higher targets for the provision of educational access to children in conflict-affected areas. As educational access is provided, efforts to provide quality education (teaching learning process/facilities) need to accompany those efforts; MoE strongly urges partners’ support in this area. The “Back to School in Conflict-Affected Areas” project is included to support this requirement.

EMERGENCY SHELTER The Emergency Shelter cluster was activated in response to ongoing floods in the northern and western regions of Afghanistan. It is in regular contact with actors in the field and circulates requests for assistance to its members. Temporary shelter for storage, animals or people is normally the first need in a flooding situation. The cluster Technical Working Group will look into emergency response tools and ideally prepare a ‘tool box’ for the field that can be used in an emergency. The Emergency Shelter cluster has maintained its strategic objectives. However, it is reviewing its Terms of Reference (ToR), as they were prepared at the beginning of the cluster roll-out and adopted in June 2008. A year after its creation, there is a need to review the ToRs, which should be more practical and include objectives that are achievable and applicable in the field. EMERGENCY TELECOMMUNICATIONS Objectives within the Emergency Telecommunications cluster have not changed in the past six months and remain as stated. The project which WFP submitted as the cluster lead in the HAP, “Provision of Telecommunications training to the Humanitarian Community and Security Telecommunications Systems upgrade,” has been fully funded. Progress to date - An assessment mission was in Kabul from 1-19 May 2009 as part of the activities related with the project. Another technical mission from the manufacturer of the VHF network system, located on TV Hill in Kabul, is planned in the near future to identify problems with the UN-VHF interference in Kabul. The cluster is working with the Government to develop an agreement on the issue of telecommunications equipment licenses, import and export and UN use. FOOD SECURITY AND AGRICULTURE WFP continued monitoring the price of staple foods on local markets and has issued a monthly bulletin showing the trends. According to the latest report (April 2009), the average price of wheat flour on the main urban markets in April 2009 fell 5% from March 2009, 45% from April 2008 but was 49% higher than in April 2007 (normal year). The same trend was observed for wheat prices, which were 30% lower than in April 2008, but still 53% higher than in a normal year. The GoA shared a complete set of 12-month data collected under the 2007/2008 NRVA exercise and WFP analyzed the food security component. Analyses indicate that the total food-insecure population of the country is estimated at 7.4 million (31% of the country population). The number of food-insecure people in rural and urban areas is estimated at 5.8 and 1.6 million, respectively. According to the GoA, the 2007/2008 NRVA final report will be released in July 2009. The recent harvest forecast released by the MAIL and FAO indicates that the 2009 wheat harvest is expected to be the highest in the last 32 years, with a total cereal production estimated at 6.3 million metric tons (MT), up by 74% from last year. Out of this, wheat represents 5.1 million MT. Wheat yields are expected to be up by 63% and production estimated up 95% as compared to 2008. Increased production of staple foods and further reduction of prices of staples will bring relief for a million people, particularly large segments of the population mainly dependent on wage incomes, such as casual workers in urban areas and landless groups in rural areas. These groups, for whom the July 2008 joint emergency appeal was launched, had been mainly affected by high food prices and drought.


17

There will still be a cereal deficit estimated at 207,000 MT (of which 145,000 MT are wheat) out of a total cereal requirement of about 6.5 million MT. Through its Purchase for Progress (P4P) programme, WFP plans to procure some tonnage from the surplus areas. The GoA plans to establish a strategic grain reserve may also increase the national capacity to respond promptly to future shocks, with a range of new approaches. Among these, the GoA has considered market interventions and better management of inequalities in access to food among the country's population and regions, which will improve the food flows from surplus to deficit areas. Of this, wheat accounts for a majority of the produce, with yields up by 63% and production estimated up 95% as compared to 2008. Recent community-based assessments conducted by the international NGO AfghanAid in flood-affected villages in ten districts of Badakhshan, Ghor and Samangan provinces indicate that a large part of the productive community infrastructure of the subsistence farming and landless families, who survive on less than two jeribs of landholdings and small animals, has been decimated. As a result, the NGO AfghanAid has submitted a new project to assist 9,000 households, by involving affected families in the works that will provide immediate relief and develop temporary safety nets in the targeted areas. This approach aims at reducing immediate stress by providing cash for consumption and for the next cropping season for affected families as well as building productive assets in affected villages. In addition, ACTED has also submitted a proposal to assist flood-affected communities in Kunduz and Takhar provinces, mainly to mitigate the effects of floods on communities, restore damaged agricultural lands through the distribution of agricultural inputs and livestock, and implement cash-for-work projects that will enable farmers to replace lost assets. During the first six months of the year, the priority in terms of food assistance remained the provision of food assistance to areas affected by high food prices and drought in the country. Continued assistance to other food-insecure populations, supported by WFP under its regular programmes, through a range of relief and recovery activities was also imperative. With the above encouraging prospects, both in terms of harvest and staple food prices, WFP will implement the following pilot activities from now until the end of the year: (i) Voucher and Cash Programme – WFP jointly with the GoA and private sector will begin to

implement a voucher and cash programme in Kabul City. This programme aims to support the livelihoods of vulnerable families affected by high food prices. Improving their purchasing power will increase their resilience to shocks and will consequently contribute to strengthening the local market.

(ii) Mother and Child Health and Nutrition (MCHN) - in partnership with the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), UNICEF and WHO, WFP plans to provide approximately 37,000 children under two years of age with Ready to Use Supplementary Food for Children (RUSF) in selected provinces such as Herat, Mazar, Maimana and Kabul. The programme will also target children between 25 to 59 months, and pregnant and lactating women, and provide them with fortified blended food to prevent the life-long consequences of poor nutrition.

(iii) On-Site School Wet Feeding Programme - in selected schools in Jalalabad, Herat, Mazar, Faizabad and Daikundi provinces, this programme will target 100,000 school children who will receive a hot meal mixed with micronutrient powder. This will mitigate the multiple micronutrient deficiencies in school-age children.

(iv) Purchase for Progress (P4P) - WFP new Strategic Plan aims to shift the organizational focus from food aid to food assistance, as an agency that supports governments and the global efforts to tackle the challenge of hunger. Under this objective, WFP Afghanistan plans to initiate this year a pilot P4P programme and will start procuring local food from smallholders and low-income farmers that will enable them to be part of the WFP Afghanistan food supply chain. This programme aims to give farmers an opportunity to be competitive players in the agricultural marketplace. The P4P includes other components such as food transformation through the establishment of biscuit-processing factories for WFP school feeding and the processing of soybeans into wheat-soya-blend. These will be used for WFP health and nutrition programmes, but may start as from 2010.

Main outcomes of the HAP mid-term review process within the Food Security and Agriculture cluster are as follows: 1. WFP is 92% funded under its existing project and will continue to implement planned activities.

The 8% ($25 million) shortfall against WFP's 2009 needs is still needed for prepositioning


18

requirements, to ensure the sustained continuation of activities into the beginning of next year and considering inaccessibility during winter.

2. AfghanAid has withdrawn its initially submitted project which aimed at addressing effects of two years of consecutive drought, and has replaced it with a project proposal addressing the immediate to mid-term needs of people with depleted productive assets resulting from severe flooding.

3. ACTED is also submitting a new project. 4. Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and Danish Committee for Aid to Afghan Refugees (DACAAR)

have reduced their prior requirements. HEALTH Objectives: In general the health cluster priorities remain the same, except that pandemic influenza response has emerged as one of the top priorities for the country. In summary, health projects are poorly funded. Strong donor support is needed. The Health cluster with the support of OCHA conducted several donors meetings, in which Health cluster members actively participated. The Health cluster has played an active role in the joint efforts of humanitarian actors to dialogue with international military forces. These efforts resulted in some fruitful outcomes, such as the agreement on a mechanism to avoid the use of white land cruisers by the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). In addition, the health cluster is trying to strengthen the humanitarian health action in the south. In this connection humanitarian health staffing in Kandahar has been recognized as one of the top priorities which will be fulfilled soon. As per the consensus of the health cluster members, advocacy for health has been recognized as one of the important task of the health cluster lead, and WHO is very active in this field. A tri-cluster assessment of the humanitarian situation has been identified as an effective methodology of the situation analysis. In this connection assessment tools has been adapted and translated in local languages. The tools are ready to be used by humanitarian actors in all areas of humanitarian concern. CERF projects have been successfully implemented by the health cluster. These projects provided funds for life-saving emergency health interventions. The health cluster coordinator is working with NATO on guidelines for military engagements in health, in order to provide clarity to all NATO missions. The cluster is also preparing an open letter calling on all parties to the conflict to commit to the safety of health workers and facilities. Progress to date: Most of the health projects under HAP 2009 have not yet received any donor funding, thus hardly any progress has been made to achieve the three main objectives of the cluster (to contribute to improve the access to quality integrated health services for vulnerable populations in underserved areas; strengthen health cluster capacity for coordinated emergency preparedness and response to health emergencies including communicable disease outbreak response; and contribute to the reduction in morbidity and related mortality within the vulnerable populations with a focus on maternal and child health). NUTRITION Change in objectives and situation of the cluster: The objectives of the nutrition cluster response did not change dramatically since the formulation of the HAP at the end of 2008. With the deteriorating security situation in 2009, further disturbances in the provision of social services, including more difficult access to health services and the interruption of community-based nutrition-relevant services, are expected. The droughts in 2008 resulted in reduced harvests and widespread food insecurity. Combined with the rising food prices in 2008, this contributed to an increase in nutritionally vulnerable population. Food prices in Afghanistan as well as worldwide stabilised since early 2009. Floods in spring 2009 affected wide areas of Afghanistan, affecting access to communities as well as access to health services and food security. However, as funds to the nutrition cluster are limited, and access remains difficult, there are no representative assessments or survey results available that could reliably indicate the changes in nutrition, food security and health status. Progress by May 2009: The nutrition cluster included ten project proposals in the 2009 HAP, which were meant to be implemented as a package of activities, aiming at a joint or complementary implementation approach. These activities were designed to avoid technical or geographical gaps, ensure synergies, and achieve an effective implementation. An example is the implementation of


19

therapeutic feeding activities which should go hand in hand with the implementation of supplementary feeding. Joint programmes should tackle malnutrition through the improved use of local foods by supporting the rehabilitation of household-based food production through gardening. However, since funding was low and delayed, where available, the intended approach could not be put into practice. The planned budget included in the HAP for the provision of nutrition emergency activities for an estimated 1.2 million vulnerable and malnourished children and 550,000 pregnant and lactating women was $7.8 million. By June 2009 some of the activities were funded through the CERF and direct donor funds. With that funding, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and its partners supported therapeutic feeding programmes, micro-nutrient supplementation, breastfeeding counselling and nutrition education activities reaching out to between 250,000 and 300,000 children and between 100,000 and 150,000 pregnant and lactating women. As funds for micro-nutrient initiatives supporting the provision of micro-nutrients in crisis-affected areas received funding only in May 2009, implementation is still under preparation. The revised requirements for the Nutrition cluster at mid-year are $6.8 million, out of which nearly $1.3 million have been received to date. PROTECTION Numerous protection issues need to be addressed in order to enhance the safety and well-being of the Afghan civilian population, including improved access to life-saving assistance. The nature and composition of the humanitarian caseload varies over time given the wide range of shocks and threats to human survival that characterise vulnerability in Afghanistan. Issues that are acute and require urgent attention in 2009 continued to be: (1) protection of conflict-affected civilians, (2) protection of the rights of IDPs, returnees and deportees; (3) child protection; (4) prevention of GBV; (5) land, housing and property rights; and (6) mine clearance and mine awareness education. In 2008, more than 278,484 Afghan refugees were repatriated largely from Pakistan, and between January and May 2009 this total amounted to 26,885 refugees. The refugee camp/settlement of Jalozai in the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan, which once housed some 100,000 refugees, was closed in May 2008. The vast majority returned to eastern Afghanistan. Around 20% of these returnee families, mainly those obliged to return due to camp closures in Pakistan, have been accommodated in temporary settlements, since they were unable to return to their homes owing to the prevailing insecurity, difficult socio-economic conditions or disputes relating to land ownership. This caseload remains in urgent need of continuing humanitarian assistance. In general, sustainable reintegration is becoming harder to achieve due to a combination of insecurity, limited livelihood opportunities and erosion in asylum conditions in the neighbouring countries. On 19 November 2008, the GoA and UNHCR held an international conference on return and reintegration, with the purpose of mobilising support for return and reintegration-development activities, as outlined in the sector strategy on refugees, returnees and IDPs of the Afghanistan National Development Strategy (ANDS). WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE The WASH cluster response plan under the 2009 HAP originally targeted more than 1.7 million people affected by the drought and other natural and conflict-related disasters around the country. The planned budget to reach these people with water and sanitation services was estimated at $18.6 million. To date, donors have contributed $7.9 million (or 42% of the planned budget). These funds have allowed WASH partners to provide safe drinking water mainly through water tankering and, long-term water and sanitation measures such as community water points and systems, construction of sanitary latrines and hygiene education to about 780,000 people. The funding gap left the WASH cluster partners unable to provide timely response to about one million people, particularly in the 2008 drought-affected provinces. In these 22 provinces, people need drought mitigation measures in their home villages. If drought conditions continue this year, the severe shortages of drinking water may force displacement. This situation will be compounded by the lack of proper sanitation and poor hygiene practices that may lead to serious water and sanitation-related diseases like cholera and diarrhoea. The flood emergency in the north of the country this year also posed challenges to the sector, particularly in relation to people who were displaced from their home villages.


20

Under that reality, the objectives of the WASH Response Plan have been reassessed in the HAP mid-year review and revised to focus on: • integrated delivery of WASH services (package approach); • support to other types of water supply technologies such as renewable energy pumping and

rain water harvesting; • promotion of sanitation by construction of latrines adaptable to the situation with consideration

of community choices; • response to all natural and conflict-related disasters, and • consideration to gender issues and site selection for WASH facilities. Taking into consideration the revised objectives and priorities, in addition to the existing WASH projects included in the HAP, the cluster identified the need for additional projects covering additional response needed in areas under flood threat and areas that continue suffering the consequences of the 2008 drought and insecurity. These new proposed projects complement the existing ones and will largely cover flood response and conflict-affected populations, whereas existing projects were mainly targeting drought-affected areas. 4. CONCLUSION

The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan remains serious, with critical, outstanding needs that ought to be met in the second half of 2009. Despite prospects for an improved harvest, large segments of the population remain very vulnerable due to natural disasters, poverty and insecurity, and are in dire need of assistance and protection. The projects included in the 2009 HAP Mid-Year Review reflect how the IASC members in Afghanistan propose address these critical needs in a coordinated manner. Bearing in mind that the 2009 HAP is the first of its kind in Afghanistan since 2002, it can be taken as a starting point for future efforts to improve the coordination and efficiency of the humanitarian response in Afghanistan. Future endeavours will require a thorough baseline on which to measure achievements. OCHA launched its 3W (Who does What Where) database in early May, which will provide a partial solution to the chronic lack of information about humanitarian activities in Afghanistan and will also benefit future HAPs. As stated earlier in the document, the deterioration of the security situation in Afghanistan will have consequences both on the delivery of assistance and on the numbers of affected populations. Many within the humanitarian community are concerned that, in the months to come, security incidents to aid workers are likely to increase. The re-establishment of an OCHA office in Afghanistan will help address gaps in humanitarian coordination and increase advocacy for improved capacity and greater funding for emergency action. The preparation of a 2010 HAP will present a second opportunity for all humanitarian stakeholders to identify and demonstrate those needs in a more coordinated way.

Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP)

The CAP is a tool for aid organisations to jointly plan, coordinate, implement and monitor their response to disasters and emergencies, and to appeal for funds together instead of competitively. It is the forum for developing a strategic approach to humanitarian action, focusing on close cooperation between host governments, donors, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, International Organization for Migration (IOM), and United Nations agencies. As such, it presents a snapshot of the situation and response plans, and is an inclusive and coordinated programme cycle of: • Strategic planning leading to a Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP); • Resource mobilisation leading to a Consolidated Appeal or a Flash Appeal; • Coordinated programme implementation; • Joint monitoring and evaluation; • Revision, if necessary; • Reporting on results. The CHAP is the core of the CAP – a strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given country or region, including the following elements: • A common analysis of the context in which humanitarian action takes place; • An assessment of needs; • Best, worst, and most likely scenarios; • A clear statement of longer-term objectives and goals; • Prioritised response plans, including a detailed mapping of projects to cover all needs; • A framework for monitoring the strategy and revising it if necessary. The CHAP is the core of a Consolidated Appeal or, when crises break out or natural disasters strike, a Flash Appeal. Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, and in consultation with host Governments and donors, the CHAP is developed at the field level by the Humanitarian Country Team. This team includes IASC members and standing invitees (UN agencies, the International Organization for Migration, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and NGOs that belong to ICVA, Interaction, or SCHR), but non-IASC members, such as national NGOs, can also be included. The Humanitarian Coordinator is responsible for the annual preparation of the consolidated appeal document. The document is launched globally near the end of each year to enhance advocacy and resource mobilisation. An update, known as the Mid-Year Review, is presented to donors the following July. Donors generally fund appealing agencies directly in response to project proposals listed in appeals. The Financial Tracking Service (FTS), managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), is a database of appeal funding needs and worldwide donor contributions, and can be found on www.reliefweb.int/fts. In sum, the CAP is how aid agencies join forces to provide people in need the best available protection and assistance, on time.
