Project Background : 

Goal: To support vulnerable households (HHs) and communities affected by conflict and natural disasters to meet their basic needs through increasing access to integrated, gender sensitive and age-appropriate MPCA, protection, health, nutrition and WASH services.

Theory of Change (ToC) : 

If life-saving humanitarian interventions such as MPCA, Protection, Health, Nutrition and WASH services are provided to targeted acutely food insecure populations impacted by conflict and natural disasters such as drought, floods and earthquakes then crisis-affected households will be able to meet their basic needs for health, nutrition, WASH, protection, and avoid the adoption of negative coping mechanisms, especially the ones that involve children and harmful household livelihood assets, and better protect themselves against the impact of natural disasters and conflict. 

Purposes:  

1. To enable most vulnerable households, affected by the multiple crisis in Afghanistan, to meet basic essential needs (food and non-food)
2. To reduce excess morbidity and mortality associated with malnutrition, lack of access to primary health care, and poor sanitation and hygiene.
3. To improve the safety, protection, and well-being of vulnerable communities, including women and children, and prevent the adoption of negative coping mechanisms.
4. To reduce excess morbidity and mortality associated with malnutrition, lack of access to primary health care, clean water, poor sanitation and hygiene.
