Implementation of Twining Program Phase-2 (TP-2)
OPHA signed a triple MoU with ACBAR and SAF organizations for the implementation of the TP-2 Program second phase
For the Twinning Program 2nd Phase a new MOU with the responsibilities of each party, ACBAR, OPHA as NNGO, and SAF as INGO has been signed in Nov 2019. In section 8 of each MOU, any specific agreements between the INGO and NNGO are listed. On April 6, 2017, a 2nd Phase Twinning Program Inauguration was held at DFID with the Twinning Partners. The Twinning Program Annual Tea Party to update and recognize participation was October 25, 2017.
Activities identified for the 2nd phase continue to focus on increasing NNGO’s membership in the CHF, participation in the humanitarian clusters, ability to access future funding, ability to conduct quality assessments, and the sharing of knowledge between NNGOs and INGOs.
In short
- Increase NNGO participation in the humanitarian clusters
- Build NNGO capacity to access the CHF and other humanitarian funds
- Increase NNGO ability to conduct quality assessments
- Give the entire humanitarian community more access to local knowledge
- Ensure all organizations involved follow international humanitarian principles
The Twinning Program is funded with UK Aid from the British people
The Twinning Program aims to address this by pairing NNGOs with Advisors that provide mentoring and guidance to their Afghan counterparts on institutional management, humanitarian practices, and strategy. The beneficiary of this project is the OPHA organization.
During the course of the implementation of twinning program phase-2, OPHA made remarkable progress in terms of developing the new policies, revision current policies, membership in different national and international networks, capacity building of organization staff, applying for OCHA Grand Management System GMS (GMS), obtaining the humanitarian ID and applying for due diligence process.
