2. Assessment Finding and Recommendation in brief:
Based on the information NRC received from ANDMA and UN- OCHA regarding heavy snow-fall which occurred
in Pushtan Kot district and Maymana city of Faryab province at 5:00 PM on dated 16 and 18 Feb 2017 affected
people in 20 villages Pushton Kot district and Maymana city.
Later on, PDMC’s meeting was conducted on 19 Feb 2017 in governor office regarding this heavy snow-fall
occurred in Pushtan Kot, Maymana city and other districts of Faryab province and it was chaired by Faryab
governor and in the meeting, it was agreed the joint assessment team should conduct assessment from snow fall
happened areas.
Following that, assessment teams was formed for a joint assessment and departure to the affected areas on 23 Feb
2017 and the joint team started assessments from 23 Feb to 1 March 2017 and this door by door survey lasted for 7
days. 56 out of 113 families selected as real affected families as they met the ERM beneficiary selection criteria. The
food and none food items of majority of the assessed households have been destroyed and are not enough for
another one-two weeks; those are assisted and helped by relatives and neighbors and community and the children are
at risk as they don’t get enough to eat or drink and are getting sick by plotted water/ environment.
At the moment, some affected families have been displaced to other areas and they are living in rented house and the
rest are living in host community. Their most urgent needs are NFI, Hygiene kit, shelter and food items. The market
is active in these affected areas and considering all these issues, UCT for food intervention was decided as best
delivery method by NRC. SCI is going to provide NFI for the 56 families.
Report indicates the average household size of this caseload is 5.86 person and 100% of the beneficiaries has listed
food as their first priority followed by NFIs and Others.
Recommendations:
Based on assessment team’s observations, the families are living in extremely bad condition therefore the team
recommended them for emergency assistance.

A) Food Security, Nutrition and Livelihood:
100% of the households are in dire need of food assistance with no stock. 34% of the beneficiaries have listed daily
labors as their first source of income while cleaners and teachers represent 23% and 9% respectively. 57% of the
households experienced their income being reduced after the shock. 32% of the households do not have access to
income generating activities. In total, 80% have an income of less than 5000 afs. 83% of the households are in debt
of up to 8,000 Afs while remaining 34% have incurred a debt of more than 8,000 Afs. 95% of the beneficiaries eat 2
meals per day. 5% reported that they eat complete meals only once a day. 100% of the assessed households report
that they use high coping mechanisms.
Recommendation:
Considering above data analysis, all the assessed families’ daily income have been affected after shock and it cannot
meet their essential needs so it was recommended for the affected families cash for food.
B) NFI:
During the assessment, the assessment team witnessed that all snow fall affected families are in urgent need of
cooking items kitchen and hygiene Items and their financial status doesn’t allow them to purchase all these basic

winterization items in terms of quantity and quality.
100% of beneficiaries have reported to have lost kitchen items. 98% of the assessed households reported losing
hygiene items. 46% reported losing blankets and none of the households reported losing water containers.
Recommendation:

the Children will be providing the 56 HH with NFI, hygiene kits and blankets, it is going to be a joint distribution
with NRC.
