ARAA Strategy Paper for Asset creation /livelihood for Persons with specific needs

SPEECH OF THE WRITER


In 2017, our war torn country experiencing an uncertain economic outlook,
despite of insecurity, the nation is entering to economic growth phase, but,
unemployment is on the rise, and ongoing insecurity hampers investment and
encourages many of the most productive and educated citizens to migrate.

There is almost no job security in Afghanistan and no choice for those who
are illiterate or unskilled such as Internally Displaced, illiterate women, and
widows, rural communities who displaced to cities due to any reasons of
pushing or pulling factor dwelling at urban vicinities or migrants who have been forced to flee due to
internal conflicts or encoura
encouraged
ged urbanization trends.

Afghans are suffering from major three problems of 1.violence, 2.migration/displacements 3. worst
socio economy ,which the causes can be measured from various dimension I.e. Rampant poverty,
recurrent conflicts and inter family dis
disputes
putes that causing displacement, refugee crises, ilitracy,
insecurity, involvement of youths to opposition groups, domestic violence against women, presence of
skilled worker from neighboring countries, consumption based sociosocio-economy,
economy, closing of domestic
factories due to lack of support and unpredicted insecurity incidents and worst socio
socio-economic
economic due to
lack intervention to bridge gaps between emergency and development in Afghanistan.

Based on UNDP 36% of Afghanistan population facing to poverty, and humahumann development index is
HDI rank 0.465.and other national reports of CSOs addressing 16 million jobless in the country.

The World Bank estimates that growth in 2016 will be below 2% percent and will remain low in the
medium term. Declining levels of interna
international
tional support have reduced demand and contributed to
deflation, which is likely to exacerbate an unemployment rate already at 40 percent.

Since years ago, ARAA is focusing on 4R strategies of Reintegration, Rehabilitation, Reconstruction


and Repatriation with the overall vision of public relief of all, therefore, In order to support
government of Afghanistan, the generous support of international donors need to be extremely utilized
in the manner, which is prominently sustainable with tangible impac
impact.

As per my studies of community development in Japan, the only way to empower traditional
economic of target community to create their own sustainable livelihood opportunities via focusing on
accepted development terminologies "Endogenous Development" w which
hich is a pure "Insider Approach"
gradually reduces poverty, especially among the most vulnerable groups and people with specific
needs.

Our aim of development this strategy paper, is to create traditional jobs based on lessons learned,
local market demand
demandss in western region of Afghanistan, ensure socio
socio-economic
economic growth, seeking ways
to link traditional skills of rural areas communities' to local markets and simultaneously, gradually
develop new forms of community employment and empowerment.

Sampleimpact story assisted by ARAA under PSN project


In this section we try to have a snapshot on the project effects to the
beneficiaries life, hereto for showing the project impacts we studied one of
the approved PSN life as following:
When the PSN project started, the PSN network referred some persons to
ARAA for covering under UNHCR PSN assistance; so, one of them was a
person who named XX 75 years old displaced from Ghor to Hirat province.
XX was a shopkeeper on his origin place and he had good income as he
could find 300Afs per a day. This person married four times with four women
that all they are alive but currently one of his wives lives with him.
Based on his information, he had lost his first wife at Hirat main hospital,
about his second wife; a local commander who named X forced him to
divorce his second wife and intimidated him to kill, in this time he forced to
come at Dara-e- Takht village of Cheshte Sharif district of Hirat province ,
when he was at Dara-e- Takht another local commander who named XY fine him about 50000Afs and
also he was forced to divorced his third wife, finally he forcedly displaced to Hirat province.
As the Person is an old man (75 years old), when he came to Hirat, didn t had a source of income and
his children had to color shoes at the city with less income.
The PSN network referred him to ARAA and when we went to for his assessment it was very painful
for us because his wife suffered from a disease and his children had to color shoes and also the PSN s
one eyes was blind, due to old age the PSN couldn't do physical hard works and he had to find the
cost of living of 7 family members. His children are eligible to go to school, but due to worst economy
he couldn t enroll his children to school.
After assessment we identified him as a PSN and the PSN approval committee, which was conducted
on 04.Oct.2016 at UNHCR approved his case for opening a small business (grocery shop), nowadays
his life become really better as he has about 200-400 Afs income per a day and the following show
are listed as impacts of UNHCR intervention to the PSN life:
Nowadays he can find enough food for his family members in dignified manner.
Now he can take a drug prescription for his wife that is really happy.
He is going to enrol his children to school in upcoming New Year.
Today s he can provide life facility/property for his family the income level has 25% increased.
His sanitation situation becomes good.
The PSN thanked from UNHCR PSN project and hoped to be witness more changes in his life.
