Humanitarian situation and needs:

At the 2012 Tokyo Conference, Afghanistan announced its road map toward self-reliance. However, great challenges remain to be overcome. Security, social and economic development, good governance, and justice are, among other issues, essential pre- conditions in order to achieve the country’s ambitious objectives. The withdrawal of the majority of international troops in 2014 as well as the recent change in government leadership has raised questions concerning the stability of the country. In fact, 2014 witnessed an increased level of violence with civilians paying the highest price, a rise in unemployment and criminality.

Rebuilding and strengthening the health-care system is still a priority in Afghanistan with the country-wide continuation of the implementation of the Basic Package of Health Services (BPHS) and the Essential Package of Hospital Services (EPHS) initiated in 2003 and 2005. PUI is a key implementing partner for both the BPHS and EPHS programmes.

 

Our action in the field:

PUI reaffirms its commitment to support Afghan people through a strategy based on its experience of the country and expertise in health interventions. Complementary to the implementation of the BPHS and EPHS programs, PUI has started health targeting for the conflict-affected and hard-to-reach population.

PUI will also seek to develop an integrated approach in its areas of intervention, with projects on food security, livelihoods and WaSH, to comprehensively respond to the needs of vulnerable populations.
