58 DRC / DANISH REFUGEE COUNCIL5. Building partnerships: coordinated approaches as a long-term solutionAs emphasized by literature on the situation of IDPs, urban displacement, and confirmed by the datacollected for this research, poverty in the KIS is multidimensional. However, the strong presence ofaid agencies is a rare chance to address the problems of the KIS in a holistic manner through bycreating links to ensure outcomes in terms of health, education and nutrition are reached. Ifdecorrelated, assistance faces the risk of remaining sporadic patch delivery of humanitarianintervention. Organizations involved in the KIS Task Force and active in the KIS for winter assistanceand/or routine activities listed in the table below highlight the potential for building partnerships overspecific issues.Table 9.

Greatercoordination would further allow mitigating the risk of cash-based initiatives diverting recipients fromother livelihood programmes. In the context of the KIS, an efficient way of addressing the issue oflivelihoods for DRC is the initiation of a consortium, with a partner NGO in each of the relevantsectors. DRC’s role as a monitoring agent may include:Conducting a multi-sectorial baseline study identifying the needs of beneficiaries, taking intoaccount seasonality and complemented by a market assessment.Conducting a feasibility study in consultation with communities, including household surveysand Focus groups discussions;Ensuring the clear repartition of roles between partnersElaborating a reporting systemFindings from this study show conditions for the implementation of cash-based approaches are metin the KIS. But despite the high levels of assistance in the KIS, cash-based approaches is still anassistance ‘gap’ that can be filled by DRC by building up on the existing CaLP initative, and createoperational links across several sectors to ensure transition from an emergency situation to adevelopment one.
CASH PROGRAMME REVIEW FOR IDPs IN KABUL INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS 59“Despite the accomplishments of the projects and increased involvement of organizations in theinformal settlement communities continue to live in conditions of extreme poverty and vulnerability.Whilst emergency response programmes remain needed – especially in the harsh winter period -there is a need for a fundamental shift in the approach of both humanitarian actors and municipal andnational authorities to adopt strategies that both alleviate the immediate humanitarian needs of thecommunities whilst taking steps to actively address the root causes of their vulnerability. Both – inkindassistance and programs with a mid-/long-term approach are needed in order to tackle theneeds of the most vulnerable population in Afghanistan. One of the biggest issues of families is thelack of cash, regular income and debt. Cash-based programs are therefore needed, their approachshould though not only give cash injections to the target family, but improve the general situation of acommunity and or tackle mid and long term solutions”.INGO Director, Kabul
