9,000 xxx 213 families/1,554 individuals assisted with emergency shelter and tents.733 two-room shelters planned by UNHCR in 2013 for conflict induced IDPsBeneficiary selection is ongoing and shelters will be completed in the last quarter of the year.

Natural disaster and conflict-induced IDPs, newly displaced and affected people in 2013 assessed and the time taken from the initial survey to the delivery of assistance in days is reduced

Throughout Afghanistan, items purchased timely and pre-positioned in the provincial capital of all regions.

Depending on accessibility, vulnerability and needs, pre-positioning also made by some partners in some remote areas to ensure timely preparedness and response.

2-7 daysDepending on the geographical location and access (remoteness), assessments normally carried out within 2 days. After theassessments, the actors conduct a debriefing to discuss the assessment findings. Once the findings are confirmed by cluster members and the Government (PDMCs/DoRRs/ANDMA)2, the actors deliver the assistance to the affected population within 1-4 days, pending area accessibility.Overall compared to the past, the response period decreased mainly due to a better coordination created after the establishment of the Cluster.

Protection

Achievements and challenges in contributing to the strategic objectives

Protection of Civilians (PoC): Conflict-related violence continues to take a devastating toll on civilians in Afghanistan. In the first quarter of 2013, total civilian casualties increased compared to the same period in 2012. Between 1 January and 30 April 2013, UNAMA documented 720 civilian deaths and 1248 injured people, a 23% increase in total civilian casualties compared to the same period in 2012. Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) constitute the leading killer of civilians, while targeted killings are on the rise. Advocacy on key PoC issues (IEDs, ANSF accountability, civilian casualty tracking, etc.) continued through the high level quarterly PoC meetings with ISAF/NATO, ANSF, Ministries of Defence and Interior and the Office of Administrative Affairs of the President. During the first quarter of the year, the chairmanship of the quarterly meetings was passed to the Humanitarian Coordinator. These meetings are crucial to maintain a two-way dialogue on PoC concerns as ANSF increasingly assumes responsibility for security. The PoC Working Group (WG) advocated, with ISAF/NATO and the Ministry of Interior, for the deployment of a senior military prosecutor in the Afghan Local Police Monitoring Unit to reinforce this accountability mechanism and facilitate a meeting between the Afghan civil society and ANSF.

Mine Action: 558,289 people benefited from mine action activities (235,269 clearance beneficiaries; 323,020 mine/ERW risk education beneficiaries). Mine/ERW risk education and victim assistance messages were broadcast on 93 radio and TV spots. The delivery of 1392 (April 2013 to March 2014) target is still constrained by funding shortfalls: (1) $1.6 million for Mine/ERW risk education projects that would benefit one million people (mainly returnees and IDPs) and (2) $21 million for high-priority clearance projects.

SO 2. Increase access of affected populations to humanitarian aid and services, with special emphasis on vulnerable groups

Gender-based Violence (GBV): A functional GBV WG is in place in Nangarhar and two pilot referral mechanisms for GBV survivors - including one-stop assistance centres - have been launched in Nangarhar and Kabul hospitals. Outreach programmes offering psychosocial counselling and referrals for GBV survivors are ongoing in the KIS. Trainings for NGOs, public health workers, ministries, formal judiciary mechanisms and the police on gender responsiveness, awareness raising, case management and data collection have been dispensed. SOPs for health facilities have been developed; and standard data collection templates are under development with the Ministry of Women’s Affairs (MoWA). The GBV Sub-cluster (SC) has been instrumental in mobilizing civil society support for the full implementation of the Elimination of Violence against Women (EVAW) law, which is currently under threat. The

12

Page 13: Mid-Year Review 2013 - Afghanistan Cluster Reporting ... Web viewTemporary static and mobile health units ... Distribution of household water treatment units. ... Mid-Year Review 2013

most significant challenges are the lack of standardised data collection systems and reliable baseline data and negative perceptions of safe houses.

Child Protection in Emergencies (CPiE): The CPiE SC facilitated a series of workshops to build the capacity of sub-cluster members on Child Protection in Emergencies and to support members to programmatically align their projects with the CHAP 2013 priorities. Trainings include: IASC Guidelines on Child Friendly Spaces, GBV and CPiE in Emergencies, IASC Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergencies. The CPiE SC has recently established a Mental Health and Psychosocial Taskforce to address mental health and psychosocial needs in humanitarian settings and amongst crisis-affected communities. Of the 15 CPiE SC members, four have now established child-friendly spaces in IDP sites and are integrating these into community-based child protection initiatives.

UNICEF, through the Monitoring and Reporting mechanism (MRM) Steering Committee, continued to advocate with the Government of Afghanistan for the full implementation of the Action Plan on underage recruitment and the use of children under 18 years of age by ANSF.

Housing, Land and Property (HLP TF): The HLP Task Force conducted a mapping exercise on housing, land and property issues through its eastern HLP Task Force and its focal points in other parts of the country. The results will be collated into a fact sheet. In March, a workshop was organised on "Strengthening Housing, Land and Property Rights of Displaced Women", aimed at analysing and addressing the HLP situation of IDP women from a rights-based perspective, concentrating on inheritance and mahr (sum of money or property which a Muslim wife receives on marriage as a token of respect). A regional HLP TF is under development in the western region and focal points have been identified in the other regions. In terms of challenges: the HLP lacks a dedicated coordinator, suffers from inadequate member participation and the Government’s overall lack of political will to tackle land issues.

SO 3. Advocate and sensitise on the needs and concerns of the affected populations and enable early warning system development.

Internal Displacement: A second round of Provincial Consultations for the National IDP Policy was conducted in April in Hirat, Mazar, Kandahar, Jalalabad, Logar provinces, involving governors, municipal authorities, DoRRs, IDP representatives, host communities and regional IDP Task Forces, culminating in a National Consultation on 22nd May 2013. The draft policy will be tabled for approval by the Council of Ministers in June 2013, following which national and provincial action plans will be developed for implementation.

Regional IDP Task Forces conducted over 150 assessments of IDP caseloads and assistance was provided to over 8,000 families. Insecurity, ongoing armed conflict and consequent limited access to IDPs have been the key challenges affecting response. Mechanisms for regular monitoring, follow-up and tracking of caseloads need strengthening, particularly for mixed, prolonged or secondary displacement caseloads. The identification of protection and assistance needs of urbanised IDPs poses a significant challenge, as do the weak engagement and commitment of some humanitarian actors in certain regions

Victims of Trafficking: IOM and partners continue to provide direct assistance through a rehabilitation centre for national and foreign victims of trafficking, with a nationwide referral

(SO1)

system which includes return and reintegration packages and reunification schemes. Moreover, 69 victims of trafficking have been assisted.

Strengthening Coordination: The Global Protection Cluster Task Team on Learning conducted a five-day workshop on cluster coordination for regional clusters and sub-cluster coordinators. The Deputy Cluster Coordinator is currently conducting training on ‘Improving Safety of Civilians’ for NGOs in all regions of the country. The Aghanistan Protection Cluster (APC) has also worked closely with FSAC on protection mainstreaming. FSAC has developed a toolkit which is currently being rolled out and which will be tailored for other clusters’ use. As the security transition progresses apace, with the attendant socio-economic impact on civilians, the Cluster anticipates that the next six months and beyond will pose significant challenges to the protection environment within Afghanistan, requiring increased monitoring, analysis, networking and advocacy to inform effective protection programming.

* This is an estimate that has been carried over from the CAP of 2012. It includes those populations in conflict and insecure zones who are unable to and/or denied access to basic services such as food, water, health, education etc. These populations may also include IDPs and mine and natural disaster-affected communities. The Cluster conducts advocacy with various parties and stakeholders on behalf of this caseload, in particular through the PoC Working Group, as well as through the other Protection Cluster sub-clusters such as GBV, CPiE, HLP, Mine Action and the IDP Task Forces. Therefore we consider that the entire caseload is reached through these various advocacy initiatives.

**There was no facilitated return of IDPs by UNHCR during the first four months of 2013. However there were reports of the spontaneous return of 200 families in the south-eastern region, who returned to their place of origin after the inter-tribal conflict that had caused their displacement was resolved through the intervention of the elders.

*** As mine clearance uses Landscan data, the figure cannot be disaggregated.

**** MACCA uses the Afghan Calendar to record all data.
