By the end of the year, some 652,000 Afghans had fled their homes due to conflict, 620,000 had returned to Afghanistan following a deterioration in the protection environment in Pakistan, and 11,418 civilians had been either killed (3,498) or injured (7,920) as a result of fighting between Afghan and pro-government forces and Non State Armed Groups (NSAGs). 06 The humanitarian situation in 2016 was defined by the increase in the geographical spread and intensity of the conflict, with more intense ground confrontations between government forces and NSAGs in civilian populated areas as well as aerial operations supported by the international military. In 2016, 33 out of 34 provinces experienced some form of ground fighting, and correspondingly, a record 229 districts more than half of the country reported conflict-induced displacements. Women and children in particular paid a heavy price for the conflict, with the latter making up one third of all civilian casualties, a jump of 24 per cent on those in Along with the unprecedented high numbers of civilian casualties, 2016 saw continued restricted access to health and education facilities with 119 conflict-related incidents targeting healthcare workers and clinics, including nine cases of military occupation or use of healthcare facilities by armed forces. New Conflict Induced Displacements (Thousands) In addition to the ongoing trend of increasing levels of internal displacement, from July onwards a surge in returnee populations of both registered and undocumented Afghans, mainly from Pakistan, prompted the launch of a US$152 million Flash Appeal One Million People on the Move and the activation of the CHF Reserve Allocation and the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) Rapid Response Fund to provide overstretched partners with additional resources and capacity. Complimentary humanitarian interventions directed towards returnee and Internally Displaced Population (IDP) included the provision of multipurpose cash grants, Emergency Shelter - Non Food Item (ES-NFI) support (including tents, blankets and kitchen equipment), food assistance and transportation support. In alignment with the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) of 2016, the majority of humanitarian assistance was delivered through the provision of life-saving medical care and emergency supplies of food, Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and shelter to an unprecedented number of displaced, both internally and cross border. A significant proportion of the displaced were supported with multipurpose cash grants enabling them to decide for themselves how best to meet their needs. In a context of likely increased IDP and returnee trends in 2017, it will be crucial that response and preparedness efforts link to longer-term initiatives that build community resilience including risk analysis, capacity mapping and early warning while simultaneously being sufficiently flexible to absorb new caseloads affected by sudden shocks HRP ACHIEVED AVAILABLE (US$) BENEFICIARIES REACHED 1M** conflict displaced 0.3M** nat. disaster affected 1.3M public health at risk $356M 3.6M* 0.2M Pakistani refugees 0.5M doc.& undoc. returnees 2M malnut. & food insecure * Although steps have been taken to reduce double counting of beneficiaries across the clusters, some duplication may still exist. ** Includes assistance to natural disaster affected and IDPs displaced prior to Jan 2016.

7 ALLOCATION OVERVIEW In 2016, a total of $39.8 million from the CHF improved the relevance and coherence of humanitarian response through two Standard Allocations and three Reserve Allocations, representing 11 per cent of the total contributions to the 2016 HRP received ($356 million), making the CHF the second largest source of funding for humanitarian action in Afghanistan for the third consecutive year. Approved by the Humanitarian Coordinator with the endorsement of the CHF Advisory Board, the allocation strategies ensured alignment of the project objectives and activities with the Cluster Objectives and the four Strategic Priorities of the 2016 HRP, with three per cent supporting the managing agent of the Fund. The Health Sector remains the largest recipient of CHF support receiving 35 per cent of the Fund in Since its inception in 2014, the CHF has increased and continuous support to health partners for the provision of life-saving trauma services in areas of active fighting with high numbers of civilian casualties, as well as health services to vulnerable populations in the underserved areas and affected by conflict and natural disasters and cross-border movements. Since 2014, the Humanitarian Coordinator has allocated approximately $31.4 million of the CHF to the Health Sector, in alignment with the prioritized needs of the annual HRP, representing 28 per cent of the total $112 million, followed closely by the Nutrition Cluster at 27 per cent.

9 Reserve Allocations July and August saw a significant spike in both voluntary refugee and undocumented Afghan returns from Pakistan prompted by increasing incidents of detention, forced evictions, police raids and harassment. Coupled with the unabated increase in the rate of internal conflict displacement, with over 245,000 people already displaced at this point, Afghanistan was facing a growing humanitarian crisis as highly vulnerable families faced the severity of Afghan winter, many for the first time. As the Flash Appeal was being developed for response to the substantial increase in the number of people on the move, the Humanitarian Coordinator approved $4.7 million from the CHF Reserve Allocation in September in response to the substantial increase in the number of people on the move and to avert a potential humanitarian crisis as the winter season Number of First Reserve Allocation Projects by Districts approached. Six international and two national partners focused on the critical needs under the sectors of Health, ES-NFIs, Food Security, Protection and WASH, for the most vulnerable undocumented returnees settling in the Eastern Region. Complimentary to the CHF Reserve Allocation, the Humanitarian Coordinator received approval for $9.8 million from the CERF Rapid Response window for IOM, UNFPA, UNHCR, UNMAS, WHO and WFP to provide life-saving critical interventions in areas of high return and prevent further deterioration of conditions at the border and transit centre. The Humanitarian Coordinator activated the CHF Reserve on two more occasions before the end of the year. In November, $43,611 in CHF support was allocated for UNHAS scale up of Humanitarian Aviation services to Torkham for Non- Governmental Organizations (NGO) and UN agencies responding to the humanitarian needs of the returning Afghan population. Then for the verification of assistance delivery, the Humanitarian Coordinator approved $50,000 for Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) to undertake third party monitoring of four CHF cash-based interventions under the First Reserve. 09 CHF funding EASTERN REGION $4.7m Watapur Narang Nurgal Narang Sarkani Mehtarlam Khaskunar Kabul Jalalabad Behsud Kuzkunar Kama Surkhrod Khogyani Chaparhar Rodat Batikot Shinwar Muhmand Durbaba

10 FUND PERFORMANCE GLOBAL CBPF OUTCOMES 1. Improve the effectiveness of the humanitarian response by directing funding towards priority humanitarian needs. Priority needs are identified through an inclusive and participatory process, which includes national actors (e.g. NGOs). 2. Strengthen the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, while leveraging his/her humanitarian coordination role. 3. Mobilize resources and support coordination in support of the humanitarian planning framework i.e. Humanitarian Response Plan. deterioration of conditions at the border and Transit Centres. With new donor governments of Switzerland and the Netherlands, resources totaling $62 million were mobilized for the CHF-Afghanistan pooled fund, with eight dedicated donors responding to the increasing humanitarian needs in Afghanistan, a 64 per cent improvement over These commitments represent 84 per cent achievement towards the Fund s target set at $74 million (or 15 per cent of the revised 2016 HRP funding requirement of $491 million) and 17 per cent of the 2016 HRP funding received ($357 million). 10 In 2016, the CHF-Afghanistan continued to prove its effectiveness as a strategic tool for a flexible and timely response to address new and increasing critical humanitarian needs, in accordance with the World Humanitarian Summit s Grand Bargain and the globally-agreed outcomes and principles for OCHA s Country-Based Pooled Funds (CBPFs). Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, $39.8 million addressed critical gaps and prioritized needs, particularly for the huge increase in IDPs, refugees and returning Afghans. The prioritization for the two standard allocations included consultations with cluster coordinators, and international and national partners, also represented on the CHF Advisory Board for the endorsement of allocation strategies. The Health Sector continued to receive the largest share of the Fund, $14 million in 2016, for the provision of life-saving trauma and basic health services in areas where no health care was being delivered, followed closely by the Nutrition Sector for essential nutrition assessments and the treatment of the acutely malnourished in high priority provinces. During the inclusive process for the launch of the Flash Appeal in September 2016, the Humanitarian Coordinator quickly activated the CHF Reserve Allocation providing $4.7 million for NGO projects focusing on the critical needs under the sectors of Health, ES-NFIs, Food Security, Protection and WASH, for recently displaced populations, in particular for the forced displacement of undocumented populations crossing the border from Pakistan and settling in Nangarhar province. In complementarity with the CHF Reserve Allocation, the Humanitarian Coordinator also directed $9.8 million of the CERF Rapid Response window for the UN agencies response to the Flash Appeal with life-saving critical interventions in the areas of food, health, ES-NFIs, nutrition, WASH and protection, at the point of arrival, and prevent a further

11 Fund Allocation by Organization Type ( ) GLOBAL CBPF PRINCIPLES 1. Inclusiveness: A broad range of humanitarian partner organizations (UN agencies and NGOs) participates in CBPF processes and receives funding to implement projects addressing identified priority needs. 2. Flexibility: The programmatic focus and funding priorities of CBPFs are set at the country level and may shift rapidly, especially in volatile humanitarian contexts. CBPFs are able to adapt rapidly to changing priorities and allow humanitarian partners to identify appropriate solutions to address humanitarian needs in the most effective way. 3. Timeliness: CBPFs allocate funds and save lives as humanitarian needs emerge or escalate. 4. Efficiency: Management of all processes related to CBPFs enables timely and strategic responses to identified humanitarian needs. CBPFs seek to employ effective disbursement mechanisms, minimizing transaction costs while operating in a transparent and accountable manner. 5. Accountability and Risk Management: CBPFs manage risk and effectively monitor partner capacity and performance. The call to reinforce and not replace national capacity and local actors is one of the key outcomes of the Grand Bargain of the World Humanitarian Summit. This initiative has placed the localization of aid high on the international humanitarian agenda, promoting change in the way humanitarian response is coordinated and delivered. Since 2014, the Humanitarian Financing Unit (HFU) of OCHA Afghanistan has maintained the inclusiveness of the CHF and routinely provided national partners with capacity building support, most notably during the eligibility process and during performance monitoring throughout the project cycle for those eligible partners who receive funding under an allocation. Strengthened by a growing number of national implementing partners, the CHF supports Afghan NGOs as its primary constituents, due to the comparative advantage over international partners in delivering assistance in remote and insecure areas, thanks to their acceptance by and knowledge of communities at the grass root level. By the end of 2016, there were 73 eligible international and national NGO partners (46 INGOs, 27 NNGOs) of the CHF, a 26 per cent increase over 2015, with 69 per cent of CHF funding allocated to 60 NGO projects (16 NNGO projects), compared to 57 per cent to 45 NGO projects (four NNGO projects) in NNGO INGO UN 5% 4% 16% 27% 68% 53% 43% 53% 31% Even for national partners, access can be an ongoing dangerous challenge in delivering the life saving support for the vulnerable populations needing assistance in Afghanistan s perilous landscape. The armed conflict continues to be a major constraint in many provinces, with insecurity delaying the delivery of relief and trauma health services. The rugged topography, extreme winter weather conditions, and disposition to natural disasters also continue to pose a significant challenge in carrying out assessments and response activities. The flexiblity of the CHF was desmonstrated through assistance in the form of multi-purpose unconditional grants, cash for food and cash for shelter, an increased share of the CHF was disbursed through cash based interventions totaling $7.3 million across all CHF allocations in 2016, compared to $6.6 million in Particular attention was given to access constraints, market functionality and the vulnerability of the beneficiaries to protect the lives and dignity of those affected. Cash programming emphasized the need for consistent close coordination with stakeholders at national and regional levels. The CHF also has the advantage of timeliness, to quickly allocate funds for life-saving interventions as well as for humanitarian needs that suddenly emerge or escalate during the year. The timeframes of the Standard Allocation and the Reserve Allocation are dependent upon the volume of the funding envelopes, the number of cluster/sectors included in the allocation, the responsiveness of the partners, and the quality of the submissions. Some delays cannot be avoided in order to ensure key stakeholders are involved and the quality assurance and accountability measures are in place. Enhanced by the ongoing development of the Grant Management System (GMS), the standard and reserve allocation processes in 2016 were efficiently completed in an average of 58 days and 38 days respectively, from the project proposal submission until date of cash transfer to the NGO partner. 11

12 12 The Fund s accountability procedures were enhanced in OCHA is now conducting financial spot-checks aimed to strengthen the financial capacity of the NGO partner as well as to detect any financial issues and prevent from additional controls at the time of the audit. The objective of the financial spot-check is to assess the soundness of the internal controls and the accuracy of the financial records by the NGO partner. However, a spot-check is not an audit and is performed only for ongoing NGO projects. This process should not be confused with the Partner Capacity Assessment which is conducted to establish partner eligibility to apply for funding, although the information collected at the time of Partner Capacity Assessment is verified and then rechecked during the financial spot-check. The most recurrent findings include non-compliance with policies in terms of cash management (payment by cash above the limits, min/max amounts of cash in hand ), lack of physical inventory of equipment/assets, lack of transparency in the recruitment of some staff, and no annual training plan and lack of training provided to the staff. One important note is that very often the controls are in place within the NGO, however they are not documented. In addition to the financial spot-checks, the CHF Accountability and Risk Management is continuously safeguarded through the eligibility process, field site and remote call monitoring, as well as reviews of narrative and financial reporting from partners, and the project audits. Furthermore, the third party monitoring pilot project of the cash programmes under the Reserve Allocation will provide valuable feedback and lessons learned to inform future CHF NGO Project Monitoring 91% 96% 60% In 2014, only two projects were not monitored. One was inaccessible due to security constraints and another was a nutrition assessment project that did not require monitoring. 2 In 2015, only two projects were not monitored. One was inaccessible due to security constraints and another was a nutrition assessment project that did not require monitoring. 3 as of , the 2016 projects implementation as well as monitoring are on-going in allocations and cash programmes. The recommendations and findings from all accountability and risk management process are uploaded into the GMS, in order to track progress and evaluate the partner s performance. The information about partner s performance will inform the decisions for adjusting the partners Risk Profile and the Operational Modalities applied to approved CHF projects.

13 STRATEGIC FOCUS ( ) Since its inception in 2014, the CHF has responded to address humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable women, men, girls and boys of Afghanistan, providing services to IDPs, returnees, and refugees, as well as to underserved communities, with the most notable and important contribution to the Health and Nutrition sectors. Over the period , the CHF supported 38 health projects implemented by 12 NGO partners (five national and seven international) and two UN agencies. Overall, $31.4 million has been allocated or 28 per cent of a total of $112 million in CHF contributions, with a significant increase of 60 per cent in health allocations in 2016 as compared to 2015 and 2014, consistent with the need for humanitarian response to the increasing intensity and geographical spread of the conflict. Concurrently, the CHF funded 27 nutrition projects implemented by two national and seven international NGOs, as well as three UN agencies. The majority of the $29.9 million allocated to the nutrition sector occurred in 2014, as compared to 2015 and 2016 due to the cluster prioritization exercise conducted to inform the allocation strategies.

In 2016, the CHF welcomed the support received from two new donors: the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The 2016 contributions amount to $62 million, exceeding 2015 contributions ($37.9 million) by 63 per cent. A significant percentage of these contributions ($24 million) were received during the fourth quarter of the year, with the understanding that unspent CHF funds are carried forward and enabled the Humanitarian Coordinator to effectively plan the subsequent year s allocations. 14 Regardless of the size of their respective contributions, all CHF donors are actively part of the CHF management through CHF Advisory Board participation. CHF offers the possibility of a flexible and rapid funds allocation where they are most urgently needed.

15 SUCCESS STORIES Afghan Development Association: Water saves life Mr. Mohammad age 67 is originally from the Bilwasna village of Darzab district of Jawzjan Province. He is an IDP beneficiary of the CHF funded WASH project of the national NGO Afghan Development Association (ADA). He presently lives in Nawabad-e-Eid Mahala area of Sheberghan and describes the importance of projects provision of clean water as follows: I have been in this village as an IDP due to fighting and internal conflicts in the village. I have a family of 5 members: myself, my wife, two sons and a daughter. I am the Head of the Community Development Council in Nawabad-e-Mahala. My economic condition is not as good, but I am compelled to assist my people and solve their problems One day, I was called together with other representatives of IDPs to join the delegation from ADA. After the consultation and required process, a team of WASH committees, government authorities and ADA staff selected this spot for well digging. Soon after, the well was drilled, made ready and handed over to the community. It was like a magic that our people have sufficient clean water for personal hygiene, bathing, laundry, and other needs with water on daily basis. Indeed, water saves life; it helps the IDPs to live a dignified life. The kind of welfare and lifesaving services such as the provision of clean water, bathrooms, latrines and hygiene promotion awareness have changed the life of these people. We assure you that all the people of this village have been admiring the on time support provided by your organization for the betterment of the poor and deprived people of Nawabad-e-Eid Mahala. Live a long life! Thank you so much for the efforts made. Terre des Hommes Ishtema: working with the community for the community Terre des Hommes (Tdh) is a Swiss NGO, funded by the CHF to respond to the emergency situation in Nangarhar Province. The project title Ishtema means working with the community for the community and focuses on Psychosocial Support (PSS) for children, Mine Risk Education (MRE), NFI distribution as well as social assistance for the most vulnerable families from host communities, IDP and returnees. The project covers 6 districts in Nangarhar, but extended activities in 11 districts of Nangarhar and Kunar Provinces to continue to serve host communities and IDPs but also to include refugees. The project empowered the community by creating and training Community Based Child Protection Committees (CBCPC). Mentored by Tdh mobile team staff, the members of the gender balanced CBCPC are active in their villages, provide awareness raising sessions on child protection and MRE on their own and refer the most vulnerable children and families to Tdh staff for specialized support. A member of the project s Community Based Child Protection Committee (CBCPC) explained, We learned a lot from the trainings of mine risks and child rights, and we trained other CBCPC members. A lot of people are excavating with shovels (to build houses) and children are collecting scrap so we brief them how to recognize unexploded devices and how to behave, who to contact. People are also trained to recognize the marks on the soil: red - dangerous, blue - unclear not to go and white clear, ok to go. Community leaders need to be informed and to use the hotline if they see a mine/unexploded device. We used the hotline already several times and it works well. For this particular case, children identified and reported a potential hidden explosive device (wrapped in a piece of cloth) in Durbaba district, thanks to the project s MRE awareness session delivered by the trained CBCPC members trained by the project.
