UNDP Global Mission Statement:

UNDP is the leading United Nations organization fighting to end the injustice of poverty, inequality, and climate change. Working with our broad network of experts and partners in 170 countries, we help nations to build integrated, lasting solutions for people and the planet.

UNDP Afghanistan Mission Statement:

UNDP has been working in Afghanistan for more than 50 years on climate change and resilience, gender, governance, health, livelihoods, and rule of law. Under the broader framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in close coordination with other UN agencies, UNDP is supporting the Afghan people’s aspiration for peace, prosperity, and sustainability. UNDP is currently implementing its flagship crisis response programme, ABADEI (Area Based Approach to Development Emergency Initiatives), as part of the ongoing UN-led response to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and the breakdown of Afghanistan’s economy following the August 2021 shift in power. Key priorities that govern or provide direction for the position's work to show the link between the Unit priorities and position priorities/expected outcomes of an incumbent. The General Services Unit within the Operational pillar of the CO is responsible for the efficient, transparent, and cost-effective delivery of Administrative, Premises, Asset Management, and Logistics services in support of the Programme and CO operations which also includes support to other UN Agencies.

Project Background and Objective of the assignment:

The Area-Based Approach to Development Emergency Initiatives (ABADEI) Strategy has been designed as a response to the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan upon a call of the UN Executive Committee Working Group for Afghanistan.

The ABADEI Strategy is a tailored area-based integrated programming approach to support basic human needs, complementing short-term humanitarian life-saving assistance with safeguarding livelihoods and strengthening community resilience. It is centered around addressing worsening poverty and vulnerability, supporting community resilience and social cohesion, and enabling the rehabilitation of small-scale infrastructure vital for basic human needs. It supports the creation of immediate sources of income through cash-for-work (CfW), cash- for- market (CfM), small businesses and livelihood opportunities with a particular focus on agri-business and regenerative agriculture infrastructure and services (critical for food security) that are under threat. It is sensitive to the chronic and newly emerging vulnerabilities and marginalisation of Afghan women and girls and aims at providing them assistance in a manner that does not exacerbate their susceptibility to violence and deprivation of opportunities and rights.

The ABADEI Strategy is grounded in partnerships in order to maximize synergies and capitalize on existing capacities at the local level. It draws inspiration from the One-UN concept by combining resources, experience and the collective knowledge of UN agencies and development partners. ABADEI interventions will complement the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) and seek to address, through a resilience- building approach, key humanitarian concerns such as food insecurity, emergency needs for essential goods and services, and the effects of displacement on IDPs, hosts and refugee returnees.

The value proposition of Area Based Programming (ABP), which forms the core of context-sensitive needs-based targeting of the ABADEI Strategy, lies in its contribution to preserving human, social, cultural and institutional capital in a context of multi–dimensional crisis. It recognizes that while life-saving humanitarian assistance is essential to address urgent needs, it must be simultaneously accompanied by measures to reduce further displacement and the rapid rise of the humanitarian caseload. The distinguishing feature of the area-based approach is that it is an integrated response that addresses multiple vulnerabilities simultaneously to avoid the socio-economic collapse of the country, in a context of severe instability.

In the volatile circumstances of crisis, the political, security and operational risks of delivering assistance in Afghanistan will remain substantial. The ABADEI Strategy is therefore grounded in a thorough risk analysis, informed by the UN’s work on the ground, that includes a review of socio-economic and conflict trends and identifies likely scenarios for the next 36 months. No analysis can eliminate risk, but this will help the UN to design its work in a risk-informed way and mitigate the risks of delivering assistance in this unpredictable context.

The Project will mainstream gender by applying three approaches, such as (i) facilitate women’s improved access to essential services and opportunities for community-based economic activities and skill development, as well as strengthen community resilience and social cohesion within all interventions as feasible; (ii) targeted interventions for women and girls that enable strengthening women’s agency, voice, participation, and support to alter the existing social relationship where women are in a weaker position and mitigate the risk of GBV through regular safety planning, (iii) Continuous advocacy efforts will be made at the community and different community formal and informal institutions and platforms through all programme outputs of ABADEI, as well as capitalizing social cohesion pillar. The Project will support community leaders to include diversity, inclusivity, equity, non-discrimination and equality principles in local activity planning, implementation, dispute resolution, and resource management. The Project will also dedicate activities to increase the use of gender-disaggregated data, gender analysis and access and to mainstream gender equality and empowerment into the procedures and processes for the design, selection, and implementation monitoring of community interventions.

The Project has gender-specific results and activities such as support to women MSMEs, women’s access to health, energy, and community-based-vocational training and increased opportunities for women, girls and survivors and at-risk women to participate actively in alternative livelihoods or income generation activities supported with cash-based interventions (CBIs). The gender-specific results will be measured with both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Sex-disaggregated data of the resulting framework will provide a basis to assess the gender results with regard to the changes at the level of women’s Agency and voices, changed relational dynamics, and changes in the structures, especially norms and social institutions.
