$500,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jan 24, 2022 - Dec 31, 2022
Description:
December 2021 – Prior to the Taliban takeover, the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan was already one of the worst in the world. The recent escalation in conflict and the resulting upheaval in Afghanistan has worsened already significant humanitarian needs and further complicated an extremely challenging operational context. In 2022, an estimated 24 million people will require humanitarian assistance due to conflict, chronic food insecurity, displacement, the coronavirus (COVID-19) and climatic events. The United Nations (UN) Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs’ (OCHA) primary mandate is to oversee the coordination of international humanitarian responses, in partnership with national and international actors, facilitating the achievement of more coherent and effective humanitarian action. With GAC’s support, OCHA is working to providing multi-sectoral assistance and protection to crisis-affected communities in Afghanistan. Project activities include: (1) provision of emergency shelter, household items, and NFI assistance; (2) immediate food assistance and early agricultural and livestock support; and (3) primary health and trauma care, including reproductive, maternal, new-born, and child health care. Health assistance will be delivered through both static and mobile health service modalities
