Introduction The work of REACH has two main purposes; to support humanitarian activities with thorough information during emergencies and to improve the limited knowledge and understanding about crisis-affected communities and their settlements. As such, REACH works in conflict and natural disaster areas, producing relevant and comprehensive information sources to improve targeted humanitarian assistance. REACH also aims to work directly with community support networks at the settlement level, encouraging a more thorough understanding of people’s needs. REACH work in Afghanistan looks at the ongoing and growing vulnerabilities of internally displaced peoples (IDPs) and returnees, mostly travelling from Pakistan and Iran. Across Afghanistan’s 34 provinces, 31 reported forced migration. In addition to regular natural disasters, such as avalanches, floods and earthquakes, conflict in Afghanistan lasting more than three decades has generated further vulnerabilities across the country. As such, REACH Afghanistan identifies information gaps and assessment needs throughout the country, collecting primary data on the situation of populations in need to target and inform humanitarian assistance.

Background Specific research in the context of Afghanistan has indicated the political, security and social volatility of the country. 2016 has seen a record number of IDPs and returnees, with more than 623,000 people forced to leave their homes due to conflict alone. Many of these displaced peoples moved to informal settlements across Kabul. An informal settlement has been defined by REACH as any area in which significant communities of vulnerable people reside, either on separated plots of land or integrated amongst the host community households. Characteristically, these sites have limited access to essential services, such as healthcare and schools, and overall financial vulnerability is prevalent. The recent surge in IDPs and returnees in Afghanistan has rapidly increased the populations of households in informal settlements across the country. To monitor these changing dynamics, REACH has begun Informal Settlement Profiling. This is a country-wide approach, initially concentrating on settlements in Kabul and Nangarhar, with initial information also being gathered in Kandahar, Herat, Kunduz, Balkh and Baghlan provinces. As such, REACH aims to identify both IDP and returnee populations by monitoring vulnerable forms of settlements and patterns of movement into and around Afghanistan, allowing key trends to be understood. By working directly with informal settlement residents, this project allows for the identification of the poorest and most vulnerable communities within the sites and across regions. Overall, Informal Settlement Profiling provides a broader framework through which specific sectors could be observed in greater depth, potentially helping future differentiation of humanitarian needs and durable solutions needs. Consequently, information will be gathered from each settlement on a monthly basis, intending to capture any significant changes in vulnerabilities and requirements, in an ever-changing environment.

Methodology A qualitative research methodology was used to conduct this study, carrying out Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) and using satellite imagery analysis, direct mapping data collection by field teams and participatory mapping. The initial stage of the project cycle identified provinces in Afghanistan with the largest influxes of IDPs and returnees in the last year, particularly focussing on urban and peri-urban environments. This resulted in the initial focus on Kabul and Nangarhar provinces. Secondary data review was then conducted, which included studies of previous reports and discussions with relevant stakeholders, such as local governments, humanitarian organisations and UN institutions, generating a list of key settlement locations within the provinces. Field verification surveys collected basic information on the general composition of each settlement, identified three main community leaders to take part in the KIIs and logged the coordinates of each site. In addition, further informal settlements were identified through a snowballing technique, mostly by speaking with settlement elder, expanding the original list of settlements found in the secondary data review. This provided the geographical baseline study for the project. The following stage of the research cycle involved more in-depth data collection, focussing on demographics and displacement histories. Enumerators visited each site and conducted the KII by asking the three identified informants a set of structured questions, who then offered one response. These questions asked about population demographics, the displacement history of residents, key community figures and significant waves of arrivals. Upon completion of this data collection, satellite imagery was gathered and direct mapping by field teams and participatory mapping with the KIs was carried out, providing geospatial information of the informal settlement. This document compiles all of Kabul’s informal settlement factsheets. All data was collected in November 2016. Throughout Kabul, 60 informal settlements were surveyed, assessing 64,644 individuals in 10,936 households.

Limitations • This project intends to assess every informal settlement in Kabul. However, new sites are being discovered throughout this research, while some settlements have closed due to evictions. Therefore, generalisations refer to this extensive sample of identified settlements, with new sites being added into later data collection rounds. • This research relies upon a community discussion with three key informants per settlement. As such, these informants answer on behalf of households in the community. Consequently, findings reflect the informed perspectives of these key informants and should be considered only indicative of the true population. This is particularly relevant for the number of households and individuals in the site. However, the estimations provided by the three informants offers a reliable and thorough representation of the demographic situation within the settlements.

Afghanistan Displacement and Returnee Response Informal Settlement Profiles: City of Kabul November 2016

Background

Since 2000, food, shelter, security and employment needs have brought more than 10,000 residents to 60 informal settlements in Kabul, the first of which was established in 2000. Nearly half of these settlements are provided for free by the Government of Afghanistan. However, these small sites are no longer able to expand, driving households arriving in the last five years to rent properties integrated in the host community.

Many IDPs originate from Kabul’s bordering provinces of Laghman and Nangarhar, although some households have made longer journeys from the north of Afghanistan. Most of the recent returnees are from Pakistan and Iran. Kabul has seen a surge in displaced people over the past six months, with informal settlement populations growing by more than 21%.

Informal Settlement Profile: Hesa 1 Karte Char Kabul District, Kabul Province, Afghanistan November 2016

Background

Displacement This informal settlement hosts IDPs and returnees in privately rented households behind Afghanistan’s Department of Education. However, the landlords do not receive any payment from residents. The entire population is comprised of Tajik communities. Most of the IDP residents moved from Kunduz and the broader Kabul province, while returnees previously lived in Pakistan.

This profile provides an overview of conditions in the informal settlement Hesa 1 Karte Char, located in Kabul district, Kabul province. This settlement is urban and its residents live in full mud houses.

Initially, four IDP households from Kabul established the settlement in 2002. Four years later, a second wave of IDPs entered the site, with 10 households travelling from Khanabad, Kunduz. In 2008, seven new households joined the site, comprised of IDPs from Emam Saheb, Kunduz and returnees from Peshawar, Pakistan. The site was then stable until June 2016 when three households again from Emam Saheb entered the settlement. The site is now saturated, with no scope to expand in 2017. The settlement is secure and residents have access to health and education facilities in the surrounding neighbourhood. Consequently, the population reportedly intends to stay within Hesa 1 Karte Char for the foreseeable future.

The site was established in 2002 when a group of 22 households returned from Peshawar, Pakistan. These residents have remained in the settlement since that time, and there have been no subsequent influxes due to the small size of the site. As the settlement is free, residents reported plans to remain in the site. The site also provides a sense of security provided by proximity to the police station.

Background

Displacement As one of Kabul’s larger informal settlements, Chaman-e-Babrak has been established in the central location of District 4. The land is owned by the Government of Afghanistan and so residents do not currently pay rent. The population is ethnically diverse with 50% belonging to Tajik communities, 40% from Pashtun populations, 5% from Hazara communities and the remaining 5% Uzbeks. Two thirds of the population are returnees from Pakistan and Iran, and one third are IDPs mostly from Laghman province, with some from Kunduz and Balkh.

This profile provides an overview of conditions in the informal settlement Chaman-e-Babrak, located in Kabul district, Kabul province. This settlement is rural and its residents live in partial mud houses.

The settlement was established by 37 households from Peshawar in 2001, and a further 40 households arrived in 2002. A year later, 30 more households travelled to the site, after which the settlement was stable for six years. In 2009, a smaller wave of households entered the site, adding three homes. Since 2009, spatial constraints have prevent the settlement from expanding further. Nearly all of the current residents reportedly intend to stay within the camp as they feel they have no alternative accommodation available.

The site was stable until 2016 when 12 IDP households from Emam Saheb, Kunduz province and 5 returnee households from Peshawar, Pakistan and Tehran, Iran, joined the site in October. However, the land is now at capacity, with no new households able to join in 2017. Nearly all residents reportedly plan to stay in the settlement as it is secure and there is access to essential services, including food and health care.

Informal Settlement Profile: Laghmani Camp Kabul District, Kabul Province, Afghanistan November 2016

Background

Displacement This urban informal settlement is one of two close to Hewadwal Blocks. The site was established on a medium-sized plot of privately owned land in an isolated area away from any Kabuli neighbourhood.

Pashtun communities comprise 70% of the population, with the remaining 30% consisting of Tajik communities. The majority of households are populated by IDPs from Laghman and Nangarhar provinces, with some from Kunduz province, although six houses are occupied by returnees from Pakistan.

This profile provides an overview of conditions in the informal settlement Laghmani Camp, near Hewadwal Blocks, located in Kabul district, Kabul province. This settlement is urban and its residents live in partial mud houses.
