Human Resource Development Agency (HRDA) is an independent, non-governmental, non-

political, non-religious and non-for-profit development oriented Afghan organization working

together with Afghan communities for improvement of different life sectors. HRDA is

presenting this report detailing its acheivements and implemented interventions throughout

2015 in four Southern provinces of Afghanistan as well its strong efforts and contribution for

the development of deprived Afghan communities.

During the reported year several sub-projects have been successfully implemented by

National Solidarity Program (NSP) in five districts of Kandahar province, the other projects

were focused on Child Protection, Women Empowerment, Literacy, Sexual and Gender-based

Violence and responses to the needs of internal displaced population. Throughout the year,

HRDA designed, implemented its activities compliance to the needs of entitled beneficiaries

and communities in line with its vision and mission.

This report is consisting the contents as HRDA Work Scope, Background, Vision, Mission,

Vision, Values, Strategic Objectives, summery of all implemented activities, its beneficiaries

along its lessons learned, findings, best practices and results. All progress reports of the

projects, reports of Monitoring and Evaluation missions, field visits reports and donor reports

are considered in the preparation of this annum report.

The towns have more economic facilities and growth of business activities while rural areas

due to their remoteness are deprived of facilities including education, health and private

sector activities. The poverty of the rural and overall deprivation of rural is more severe than

urban set ups. Similarly there are more uneducated people in rural areas than urban areas.

This distribution of rural and urban area on resources is a chronic challenge of the socio

economic and socio political arena of the country. We believe that today’s insecurity has a

root in the unequal distribution of resources between rural and urban areas. A wise

leadership of a development agency needs to allocate the resources to fill the above

mentioned gap. HRDA is happy to manage its resources to marginalized areas and more

deprived populations. Basing our actions accordingly, HRDA will be hopefully able to

contribute to the reduction of gaps. More important is that the agency to have transparency in

its work with the stakeholders particularly with local communities and project beneficiaries.

HRDA carried out its entire activities in strong coordination with line ministries, local

authorities and stakeholders in order to avoid duplication and maximize the utilization of its

resources as well as activities impacts.

Consequently, HRDA cordially thanks from the donors that supported us to implement very

important projects in the most challenging part of the country i.e. southern provinces

including Kandahar, Helmand, Uruzgan, and Zabul. We appreciate on behalf of beneficiaries

the contribution that affected positively in the lives of ordinary Afghans and acknowledge

their help to men, women and children and most deprived communities in the southern

region.

HRDA Strategic Objectives


of 33

Projects that were carried out during the year 2015 included:

1. National Solidarity Program (NSP)

2. Population Refugees & Migration (PRM)/CFS year one in Kandahar province

3. Child Protection Rapid Assessment (CPRA) in 5 provinces of south

4. SGBV-Tailoring Project for Women in Kandahar & Zabul

5. Transitional Shelter Project in Kandahar province

6. Shaping Afghanistan Future through Economic Empowerment (SAFEE) in Kandahar

The following section talks about each of the aforesaid projects from different perspectives.

And this section analyzes the each of the projects carried out in 2015.

The National Solidarity Program (NSP) was created in 2003 by the Ministry of Rural

Rehabilitation and Development to develop the ability of Afghan communities to identify,

plan, manage and monitor their own development projects. Through the promotion of good

local governance, the NSP works to empower rural communities to make decision affecting

their own lives and livelihoods. Empowered rural communities collectively contribute to

increased human security. The program is inclusively supporting all of the communities

including the poorest and vulnerable people. NSP strongly promotes a unique development

paradigm, whereby communities can make important decisions and participate in all stages of

their development, contributing their own representatives to form voluntary Community

Development Councils (CDCs) through a transparent and democratic process.

NSP Objectives

The key objective of NSP is to build, strengthen and maintain Community Development

Councils (CDCs) as effective institutions for local governance and social-economic

development.

NSP Project Cycles:

The NSP project cycle for each participating community has five phases. These are generally

completed within a two-year period.

Phase I:

The NSP Facilitating Partner (FP) assigned to the province (typically an NGO) contacts the

community to inform them of NSP and start the mobilization process.

National Solidarity Program (NSP) III Kandahar province

PROJECTS SUMMARY


of 33

Phase II :

The FP facilitates fair and open elections to establish a representative body known as the

Community Development Council.

Phase III:

The newly-elected CDC consults with the members of the community to reach consensus on

a list of priority sub-projects. These include sub-projects that can be carried out

independently and those that require NSP or other outside support. Together, these comprise a

Community Development Plan. Selected sub-project proposals are submitted to NSP for

funding.

Phase IV:

Upon approval, NSP block grant funds are disbursed to cover the purchase of materials and

services. The CDC undertakes sub-project implementation (often through committees) and

reports to the community on progress and use of funds. Programme partners monitor ongoing

sub-projects.

Phase V:

Program partners assess the technical quality of completed sub-projects and document

lessons learned.

HRDA having working background with War Child Canada since 2013, Child Friendly

Spaces CFSs is fourth project

implemented in Kandahar between

period of one year i.e. October 2014 to

September 2015 that is initially

designed for 3 year focused on IDP

children protection along with local

marginalized communities.

Regarding child protection, War Child

Canada conducted a child protection

assessment in Kandahar in December

2013 to identify child protection

strategies that work as well as gaps.

We consulted with more than 500 IDP

children to identify their child

protection concerns, needs for care and information. Our assessment found that a significant

proportion of boys (60.3 percent) and girls (58.3 percent) were aware of child protection

issues. Most children believed it “very

important” that they be protected from

war/conflict, diseases, maltreatment

from adults, and injuries, road accidents

and landmines. Generally boys are more

aware of these protection issues than

girls.

War Child Canada designed this project

based on its working knowledge of

Kabul, Kandahar, and Nangarhar

communities, discussions with other

NGOs working in these provinces that

no or insufficient numbers of other

actors provide the proposed social and

legal protective services for women and children.

The objectives of this project is to strengthen the ability of IDP, returnee, and host community

children, families, and communities in Kandahar province to protect and promote children's

rights through community-based safe spaces and child protection mechanisms.

Secondly to reduce attitude-based barriers towards IDP, returnee, and host community

women’s and children’s rights and their full participation in society in and Kandahar province

through training and awareness raising

Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) PRM-Year-1


of 33

The methods we used include a community-based consultative approach whereby

communities learn how to assess child protection challenges, how to respond, and how

important a role everyone in the community has in child protection – including children

themselves. Protection Mechanisms and Children’s Peer Groups are linked to these spaces,

and work.

Child Friendly Spaces (CFS) Goal:

To strengthen access, quality and use of social and legal protective services for

117,850 returnee, internally displaced, and host community women and children in

Kabul, Kandahar, and Nangarhar provinces in Afghanistan.

CFS objectives:

To improve access to social and legal services for IDP, returnee, and host community

women and girls in Kabul, Nangarhar, and Kandahar provinces through legal

representation and psychosocial support

To strengthen the ability of IDP, returnee, and host community children, families, and

communities in Kabul, Nangarhar, and Kandahar provinces to protect and promote

children's rights through community-based safe spaces and child protection

mechanisms

To reduce attitude-based barriers towards IDP, returnee, and host community

women’s and children’s rights and their full participation in society in Kabul,

Nangarhar, and Kandahar provinces

The women empowered project with the Sexual and Gender Based Violence awareness was

designed for the IDPs and Returnees affected

women of Kandahar and Zabul provinces. The

project covered 100 women (50 Kandahar & 50

Zabul) on the Women Rights Awareness, Business

Skills and Tailoring Skills. The project was funded

by the UNHCR and implemented by HRDA.

Attended IDPs and Returnees women who were

displaced and were settled and targeted the two

southern provinces received the trainings on the

“Women Rights Awareness, Business Skills and

Tailoring Skills” three main topics. As the result,

the project successfully started and completed on

the planned period also, finally handed over the

project and provided the trained trainees for the

community to serve as occupied individuals.

Project was extended based on per the necessity of

the trainees the project extended for two months

more which most appreciated from our side. Also,

in these two months the project had more

achievements and was very effective for the

trainees.

UNHCR and HRDA team conducted the joint

assessment team to identify the trainees based on

the SGBV project criteria. Consequently, the 100

female trainees selected based on the criteria and

enrolled in the SGBV centers both in Kandahar and

Zabul provinces

Daily lesson/activities plan was developed; the

entire SGBV training centers were organized for

the women’s right awareness session/business

skills sessions. In addition, a daily lesson plan developed for each training center which all

daily activities were planned for a specific time. Also, the women’s rights awareness sessions

were exceeded for two hours with an agreement of UNHCR protection team.
