Afghanistan - Multi-Sectorial Rapid Assessments 2021

Following the change in authority in Afghanistan on 15 August 2021, UNHCR introduced a rapid assessment methodology to quickly assess humanitarian and protection needs throughout the country as part of scale-up by UNHCR to respond to the unfolding crisis. The assessments were carried out between October - December 2021. The primary focus of the assessments were IDPs and IDP returnees who account for the majority of the households interviewed in these assessments. Nonetheless, as UNHCR takes a whole-of-community approach in its assistance programme, vulnerable host community members were also assessed, alongside a small number of refugee returnees, asylum seekers and refugees, as well as deported and spontaneous returnees under an area-based approach.The majority of the assessments were conducted in the Southern Region due to the fact that conflict increased over JuneJuly 2021 in the South and people were displaced into urban areas and could not be reached. When the fighting subsided following the change in authority on 15 August 2021, many families immediately returned to their places of origin. As their needs were assumed to be high, they were prioritized for assessment.

2021年8月15日阿富汗政权更迭后，联合国难民署（UNHCR）推出快速评估方法，作为其应对持续发酵的危机、扩大行动覆盖规模的组成部分，以快速评估阿富汗全国范围内的人道主义需求与保护需求。本次评估于2021年10月至12月期间开展。此次评估的核心受访群体为境内流离失所者（Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs）及其返国人员，该群体占本次评估受访家庭总数的绝大多数。尽管评估的核心聚焦于上述群体，但鉴于联合国难民署的援助方案秉持全社区参与的工作原则，评估团队同时对弱势收容社区居民开展了评估，并通过基于区域的评估框架，纳入了少量难民返国人员、寻求庇护者（asylum seekers）、难民以及被遣返人员和自发返国人员。
由于2021年6月至7月阿富汗南部地区冲突升级，当地流离失所民众被迫迁入城区且难以被评估人员接触到，因此本次评估的多数场次在南部地区开展。2021年8月15日政权更迭后战事平息，众多家庭随即返回原籍地，鉴于其需求预计较高，该群体被列为本次评估的优先对象。
