Request For Shelter implementation
Country Context
Security Situation: Afghanistan's security landscape remains volatile with ongoing conflict involving various factions, including the Taliban and ISIS. The resurgence of the Taliban in 2021 significantly altered the power dynamics and exacerbated instability in many regions. This ongoing conflict contributes to widespread displacement and impacts the delivery of humanitarian aid.
Economic and Infrastructure Challenges: Afghanistan faces severe economic difficulties, compounded by high levels of poverty and unemployment. The infrastructure, including housing, healthcare, and education systems, is inadequate and often damaged or destroyed by conflict. This limits the capacity for effective shelter implementation and exacerbates the vulnerabilities of displaced populations.
Climate and Natural Disasters: Afghanistan is prone to natural disasters, including earthquakes, floods, and droughts. These environmental challenges further strain the already fragile housing situation and exacerbate the need for resilient and sustainable shelter solutions.
Protection and Solutions Situation: Protection Concerns: The protection environment in Afghanistan is challenging. Displaced populations face numerous risks, including violence, exploitation, and limited access to justice and essential services. Women, children, and marginalized groups are particularly vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. The lack of legal protection and secure housing contributes to these risks.
