Project Description

4/2 SCR proposes to utilize CERP funds to emplace a gabion basket flood control system in Newa Kalay.

Project Goals

The goal of this project is to significantly reduce the effects of flooding in the Newa Kalay community. Currently, the area has no way to prevent catastrophic floods from decimating their village. The installation of Gabion basket barriers will significantly decrease the effects of heavy rains. Newa Kalay is a community of approximately 40,000 in Spin Boldak District largely comprised of IDPs. Every year, rains deluge Newa Kalay and the resulting flash floods have washed out roads, walls, and buildings. This system will mitigate the effects of flooding, and strenghten GIRoA in this village.

According to the MAAWS-A, section 2, para A, the purpose of the CERP program is to enable commanders to respond to

urgent humanitarian relief and reconstruction requirements within their Area of Responsibility (AOR) by carrying out programs that will immediately assist the indigenous population. "Urgent" is defined as any chronic or acute inadequacy of an essential good or service that, in the judgment of the local commander, calls for immediate action.

Reasonable measures have been taken to ensure that no GIROA, NGO or other funding is available to relocate this business.
