Kabul Informal Settlement Profiling, November 2016
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.

Kabul Informal Settlement Profiling, November 2016
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%.

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.

The site was founded by 18 households returning from Peshawar, Pakistan in 2012. The following year, six IDP households displaced from Khanabad, Kunduz joined the site. In 2014, the settlement grew in size again, with 12 more IDP households moving from Charikar, Parwan province. This was the final reported influx of residents as there is no space for the settlement to expand. The central location of the settlement provides residents with a general sense of security, as well as access to health and education facilities. Residents reportedly plan to remain in front of Kardan University as they feel they have no alternative shelter options.

The settlement was then stable until 2016 when a further 21 households entered the site consisting of both IDPs from Tagab, Kapisa and returnees from Islamabad, Pakistan. The site is now at capacity, with no scope for expansion in 2017. Since residents do not pay to stay in the settlement and the site provides a general sense of security, no residents reportedly plan to leave Nasaji Tagab Camp. Residents also reported that they feel that they have no alternative shelter options.

In 2016, an influx of 250 households joined the settlement, with 220 IDP households moving from Surkhrod, Nangarhar and 30 households occupied by returnees from Peshawar and Quetta, Pakistan. Pul-e Shina is situated in a large area and so the population is expected to increase in 2017. All residents reportedly plan to remain within the settlement as it is free and secure, although health and education facilities are lacking.
