Afghanistan: October 2021 Humanitarian Response Update
This update provides an overview of UNFPA's work on the ground in Afghanistan during October 2021.
Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP)
AAP refers to the ‘commitments and mechanisms that humanitarian agencies have put in place to ensure that communities are meaningfully and continuously involved in decisions that directly impact their lives’. This was first launched by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee in 2012 as the result of the 2011 Transformative Agenda of making humanitarian programming at the field level more accountable to affected people.

Annual Report 2020 | UNFPA Asia-Pacific
2020 was an extraordinary year for all of us amid the COVID-19 pandemic, regardless of where we were in the world. For UNFPA - the UN sexual and reproductive health agency - this meant continuing to ensure that pregnant mothers deliver healthy babies, that women and girls continue to be safe from all forms of violence and harmful practices, and that women continue to have access to life-saving sexual and reproductive health supplies and services, including rights-based family planning.
With the compounding impact of humanitarian crises and climate change across Asia-Pacific, delivering our work amid the pandemic grew increasingly difficult. Yet, UNFPA country offices and colleagues across the region, together with our implementing partners, rose to the challenge, moving forward with innovation and resilience.
Our Annual Report 2020, ‘Delivering in a pandemic’, provides a snapshot of our results achieved across 22 Country Offices and our sub-regional office in the Pacific. These results are illustrated through stories from the ground that provide an in-depth perspective of the impact of our work on the lives of people, with a focus on the most vulnerable women and girls.
