About us

Desired start date: ASAP

Duration of the mission: 6 months

Location: Kabul

SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) is an international humanitarian aid association which, since more than 40 years, has been providing assistance to populations affected by armed conflicts and natural disasters by meeting their basic needs for food, water and shelter. Particularly committed to the fight against diseases linked to unsafe water, the leading cause of death in the world, SI's interventions provide expertise in the field of access to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, but also in the essential area of food security and livelihoods. Present in some twenty countries, the SI teams – 2500 people in total, made up of expatriates, national staff, permanent staff at HQ, and a few volunteers – intervene with professionalism and commitment while respecting cultural norms.

About the mission

The organization has resumed its program in Afghanistan in December 2021 and has established a presence in Bamiyan, Kapisa, Wardak and Kabul provinces.

SI currently has 70 employees (4 international employees) with an annual budget of 2m euro. In 2023, this budget should around 6 million, while the team should grow to 150 employees.

In 2023, SI will scale up its food security and WASH programs in Afghanistan, with a particular focus on the South-West. This program will be emergency based, responding to future shocks, in particular future natural disasters and epidemics outbreaks (Cholera). SI will also aim at building community resilience, reinforcing access to WASH services and infrastructure, while developing livelihoods in rural areas.



In 2024, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL intents to maintain its operations in Kapisa, Bamyan, Nimroz, Farah and Kabul provinces, aiming at addressing the most vulnerable and shock-affected households in remote districts, shifting to longer term programming, linking basic needs and resilience strengthening. With the recent influx of Afghans returnees from Pakistan, SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL will be delivering support at destination point, mainly in Kabul province. SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL will also continue to provide comprehensive solutions for WASH, FSL and winter assistance, working on covering immediate needs while strengthening the communities' resilience.

On the other hand, the country has always witnessed a certain level of criminality.

Living conditions are quite fair in Kabul, with possible access to all essential goods and services. The security situation can be tense, and travel is sometimes restricted, but it is possible to have a social life.

The security environment in Afghanistan remains tense, dynamic and volatile. While the risks associated with the conflict between the government and the armed opposition have disappeared with the victory of the opposition, third party armed groups (notably ISKP) continue to operate in certain provinces including Kabul and the possibility of the emergence of a new opposition cannot be ignored.
