Stay, Deliver and Protect (SDP)
Afghanistan continues to face a protracted humanitarian crisis. Armed conflict results in large-scale population displacements and a high number of civilian casualties. Insecurity causes significant challenges to humanitarian access and responses, especially where they are needed most. "Stay, Deliver and Protect" aims to facilitate humanitarian access and to promote protection of education, protection of civilians, psychosocial support and humanitarian coordination in conflict-affected communities.

Contesto | Due to ongoing conflict and drought, a large number of Afghans depend on life-saving humanitarian assistance, which is increasingly difficult to deliver. The highly fragile context in Afghanistan causes huge challenges to humanitarian access, to the presence of humanitarian actors and to the implementation of humanitarian responses. This is particularly the case in the locations under control of armed opposition groups. At the same time, these locations are often characterized by the most accentuated needs. Despite the measures taken by Afghan government, violations of International Humanitarian and Human Rights Law are frequent, with deliberate attacks on civilians. During January and September 2018 alone, 220’000 people were displaced due to the armed conflict. Between 2009 and 2017, UNAMA documented 28’291 civilians killed and 52’366 civilians injured. |
Obiettivi | Conflict-affected communities in hard-to-reach areas of Afghanistan are protected from physical and psychological violence and abuse, and are better equipped to pursue dignified solutions to address the consequences of their displacement through enhanced access to basic services, including safe education, and increased resilience and capacity to mitigate conflicts. |
