Afghanistan — Community-Based Needs Assessment: Nangarhar, Round 1 (May — June 2018)

In coordination with the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR), in May through June 2018, DTM in Afghanistan piloted a Community-Based Needs Assessment (CBNA), intended as an integral component of DTM's Baseline Mobility Assessment to provide a more comprehensive view of multi-sectoral needs in settlements hosting IDPs and returnees.

Despite high incidents of conflict, 46% of houses were not damaged, 30% were moderately damaged, 18% were severely damaged and 6% were completed damaged. After Kabul, Nangarhar reported the highest percentage (14%) of households that were unable to afford rent in the six months prior to assessment. The main barriers to accessing housing were the unavailability of housing options, inability to build temporary tents or accommodation, and high rent costs.
