Bridging the Humanitarian-Development Divide in Afghanistan
Cluster System has been activated in Afghanistan for 11 years
For 2019, Humanitarian needs are categorized on the basis of thematic area
Promote collective action and support inter-agency cooperation
Armed Conflict & Protection of Civilians
Population Movement & Forced Migration
Slow & Sudden Onset
Natural Disasters
Access of Basic
Services
One UN for Afghanistan (2018 – 2021)
Content
Five Ones: One Programme, One Budget, One Operation, One Leader, and One Voice
Thematic areas: Six areas where UN concentrates its development resources
Documents: Mutual Accountability Framework, Results Framework, and 2018 Annual Work Plans
Rationale
Government request: Initiated in
response to H.E. President Ghani’s
request for delivering as one
UN reform: Supported UN
development system reforms, including
focus on humanitarian-development-
peace nexus
Alignment: Strengthened alignment to
The Afghanistan National Peace and
Development Framework and
Sustainable Development Goals
• The global agenda, including humanitarian, development, and peace efforts
Two Views of the Sustainable Development Goals

Using Collective Outcomes to Bridge the Divide
A collective outcome is a commonly agreed quantifiable and measureable result or impact in reducing people’s needs, risks and vulnerabilities and increasing their resilience, requiring the combined effort of different actors. (UN OCHA)
Creating Collective Outcomes
SDG 3.13 –Collective Outcome?
Health Thematic Area – Collective
Outcome?
HEALTH CLUSTER ASSISTS GOVERNMENT AND PARTNERS
Life-saving Interventions Resilient & Responsive Health system
1- ensure access to basic health services to populations
at risk
2- expand access to
quality health services for
those impacted by protracted
crises
3- Enhance capacities to
detect outbreaks of
infectious diseases
4- Support MOH and local
partners to prepare for,
respond to and recover from emergencies
from all hazards
6- support foundations for developmental health policy
and plan, ensuring long-
term health system
recovery
5- Enhance coordination
among humanitarian &
development health partners
DROUGHT RESPONSE AS AN EXAMPLE OF COLLECTIVE OUTCOME
Joint planning around short and
longer term drought response
Focusing not just on the symptoms of
the problem (food insecurity and
malnutrition) but also the underlying
causes (health and WASH)
Cash for livelihoods programme
Joint ICCT and PMT on early
recovery and resilience building
A recognition that development financing
has been concentrated in urban areas
which may overlook needs of rural
population
The need to link data with analytical and
strengthen communication with decision-
makers and affected communities
Need to further examine existing financing
mechanism to highlight financing gap to
be filled by development donors.
INTEGRATED DROUGHT RESPONSE: AREAS OF ORIGIN
Immediate Priority (Oct 2018 – April 2019)
Prevent the 3.5 million severely food insecure as a result of drought from
slipping into further food insecurity i.e. IPC 4 into IPC 5
Area Based Convergence Approach
Most severely affected areas where there is a convergence of need that
contributes to malnutrition (>20% of population is severely food insecure;
GAM>15%; presence of acute illness/disease; poor WASH)
Co-location of response & services targeting the same population with
standard minimum packages
Points of entry
Household level
Sub-district/community level (e.g. WHO mobile health teams in Badghis)
District level
INTEGRATED DROUGHT RESPONSE: “CENTRES OF GRAVITY”’
Bedrock of response: severely food insecure population and/or selected health facilities and their
catchment areas serve as ‘centres of gravity’ around which an integrated drought response is
implemented
Joined up programming: ‘wherever you go, I go’
Area selection: address the most vulnerable communities and who is serving them – selected districts a
combination of available data, expert judgment & consensus
Targeting criteria: geographical (more people in smaller areas); severity (where needs are the
highest); vulnerability (children under 5)
Minimum assistance package: emergency food assistance (food or cash); livelihoods inputs; screening
& referral of acute malnutrition cases; IYCF; immunization & outbreak management; addressing
irrigation issues aligned with agricultural support; BSFP; hygiene kits; treatment of MAM & SAM) etc.
Humanitarian + activities: construction of storage reservoirs and resilience capacity: small (hum);
medium (dev) & large (gov)
• Agreement on a broad approach to bridging the humanitarian-development divide
• Operationalization of the agreed approach with multi-year planning, responses, and monitoring, beginning with joint ICCT and PMT workshop, HCT and UNCT.
• Looking beyond 2021, consideration of a single framework, encompassing humanitarian, development and peace efforts
Way Forward
