Result
2023 The Save the Children International (SCI) Strategy for Afghanistan builds on two projects that SCI has implemented in in the past with Sida support ( Education in Emergencies EiE, Sida contribution 12429. and Child Protection CP Sida contribution 52050137), added to other activities that the organisation has implemented in the country. Sida support the part of the SCI strategy in Afghanistan that correspond to the continuity of the result reached with the previous projects. The strategy is designed as a larger programme but without coordination with the national authorities. The Support to the strategy is channelized through an agreement with Save the Children Sweden (SCS) and is of a flexible character ,which provide the organisation with opportunities to make changes and adjustments when required. This flexibility is considered by Sida and the partner as a prerequisite to implement projects in the current volatile Afghan political context. Examples of results achieved Implementation during the period (June 2022-May 2023): SCI, as well as all other development partners in Afghanistan, has faced several challenges and delays in the implementation due to the Taliban increased restrictions on female participation in society (education, work, mobility etc) during the entire period, and exacerbated by different edicts from December 2022. It has been difficult for Sida to follow up results in the field during the year due to the challenging political context with increasing restrictions for operations. Sida and SCS has maintained a close dialog during the period, and meetings and communications has been taken place continuously. The United Nations and key donors has also coordinated weekly on aid provision through the Afghanistan Coordination Group (ACG), and associated strategic thematic working groups (STWGs). There has been an intensive work on the development of the Strategic Framework for Afghanistan for the period 20232025. The ACG agreed on a monitoring framework (Join Monitoring Framework) on April 2023, to which partner will report by sectors. SCI is committed to report to the education sector. SCI informed Sida that successful activities has been implemented in the areas of work. Several Community based education classes (CBEs) has been running since school start in March, and several child protection activities has been launched. SCI partners in Afghanistan Save the Children Afghanistan (SCIAf), Organisation of Human Welfare (OHW) and Help the Afghan Children (HTAC) have resumed the Sida financed activities in 5 provinces (Balkh, Jawzjan, SariPol, Faryab and Nangarhar) and will be able to achieve the planned goals for the year if the implementation continues been possible. In the current Afghan context, the implementation of the activities, in special the start of the school year with CBE classes in several provinces, is seen as a result itself. All CBE and preschool teachers have received the planned trainings including teaching methodology, CSG (child safeguarding), SEL (social and emotional learning), and others. Community education committees and school management committees are established as planned and the member of these committees are trained on CSG and CP. Hygiene kit, student kits, psycho social support kits (PSS), textbook and special education kits have been procured and distributed among the beneficiaries as per need. Students' and teachers' well being assessments are conducted during the year. On time and prompt preschool transition is made within the target provinces Child Protection (CP): SCI, HTAC and OHW have jointly resumed the project activities in different phases in order to provide the services to male and female beneficiaries in safe manner. SCI targeted 20 communities in each of the targeted provinces ( 10 communities in one district) Child friendly spaces/Community child center (CFS/ CCC) modality Impact assessment ongoing CP mechanisms in place to ensure children receive appropriate and holistic support through the case management process. Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) awareness to the targeted communities.
