People-centered approaches (feedback mechanisms, community engagement, etc)
In 2017, the Rural Rehabilitation Association for Afghanistan (NPO/RRAA) integrated women's security into relief activities. Beside the provision of shelter material and non-food items NPO/RRAA organized extra capacity development sessions and empowered women members of the families to speak out about their rights as internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees, their children's right to education, and their right to healthcare etc. Monitoring results indicates that those women who participated in training sessions are more able to go to related departments of local authorities at districts and provincial levels and claim what they are entitled to.
Cash-based programming
Rural Rehabilitation Association for Afghanistan (NPO/RRAA) used multi-purpose cash provision through mobiles to meet the real needs of IDPs and returnees which resulted in: (1) the families making the choice to use the money according to their needs (2) NPO/RRAA was able to open a new gate for cooperation with private sectors and take advantage of available technologies like mobiles; and (3) promoted transparency and accountability to our stakeholders like our donors, governmental authorities and target communities.
