0. MAJOR CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE HIP
Fourth modification
With the dramatic increase in the numbers of the conflict-induced Internally Displaced People in Afghanistan, estimated at approximately 400 000 people, the humanitarian needs have increased in the country. For this reason an unallocated amount of EUR 385 000 is transferred from specific objective 4 (DIPECHO - DP/DRR) to specific objective 1 (Man-made crises) of this HIP. Conflict affected populations will be supported through multi-sector emergency assistance.
Third modification
An increasing number of civilians have been impacted by the expanding conflict inside of Afghanistan requiring immediate humanitarian assistance. At the same time, an increasing number of refugees and undocumented migrants have been forced to return from Pakistan. Furthermore, the number of Pakistani refugees in Afghanistan has remained stable, however a lack of funding has resulted in significant uncovered humanitarian needs.
In order to cover the needs of above populations an overall amount of EUR 2 900 000 had to be shifted from the allocation for Pakistan to the allocation for Afghanistan, all to the man made crisis specific objective. EUR 2 700 000 were shifted from the man made crisis specific objective of Pakistan and EUR 200 000 from the natural disasters specific objective.
Second modification
For Afghanistan, due to humanitarian needs related to the conflict and the very high number of civilian casualties, the humanitarian response in all cases takes the needs of conflict affected people into consideration. For this reason, an amount of EUR 10 115 000 had to be shifted from natural disasters specific objective to man made crises specific objective.
First modification
Despite the acknowledged high level of humanitarian needs, challenges regarding access, effectiveness of response and capacity to implement have resulted in a decision to decrease the amount of the allocation in this Humanitarian Implementation Plan for Disaster Preparedness, Disaster Risk Reduction, Resilience by EUR 489 000 from EUR 2 296 000 to EUR 1 807 000.
