Mid-Year Whole of Afghanistan Assessment (WoAA) - Key Sectoral Findings (April 2022)
Context
Afghanistan has long been plagued by endemic poverty and decades of conflict, which have been further exacerbated by the impacts of COVID-19, natural disasters, and the political developments of August 2021. These factors have led to a convergence of humanitarian needs and vulnerabilities across the country. The Humanitarian Needs Overview projected that a record 22.4 million people would be in need of humanitarian assistance in 2022.
Following the political upheaval and subsequent economic crisis in 2021, the humanitarian situation rapidly evolved, necessitating a nationwide, multi-sectoral assessment to guide programming and prioritization efforts. To address this, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)-led Inter-Cluster Coordination Team (ICCT) conducted the fifth round of the WoAA (Mid-Year WoAA 2022), facilitated by the REACH Initiative.
Initially launched in 2018, the WoAA is timed to align with key milestones in the Humanitarian Programme Cycle (HPC). Its goal is to provide high-quality, representative data to humanitarian decision-makers and implementers about the sectoral and intersectoral humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable populations in Afghanistan.
