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 Nangarhar. 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, including 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 Nangarhar’s informal settlement factsheets. The majority of data was collected in January 2017, with seven settlements surveyed in December 2016. Throughout Nangarhar, 26 informal settlements were surveyed, assessing 408,210 individuals in 59,600 households.

Limitations • This project intends to assess every informal settlement in Nangarhar. 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: Nangarhar Province January 2017

Background

Located on the border with Pakistan, Nangarhar hosts more than 400,000 residents across 26 informal settlements, the first of which was established in 1990. Nearly half of these sites are owned by the Government of Afghanistan. The remaining residents live in privately owned properties located closer to health and education facilities. Around two thirds of the population are recent returnees from Pakistan, and a small number from Iran. The remaining third consists of IDPs

mostly moving from other districts in Nangarhar, though some travelled from the neighbouring provinces of Kunar, Laghman and Paktya. Ongoing conflict and the need for employment have significantly increased the number of households moving to informal settlements in Nangarhar. Since May 2016, the number of IDP households moving into settlements increased the total IDP population by 75%, while the returnee population rose by 27% during this period.
