Needs Monitoring Framework (NMF): Key Findings Brief, March 2025 | Afghanistan

Rationale

This brief presents key findings from the Needs Monitoring Framework (NMF) quarterly assessment, designed to monitor Afghanistan’s dynamic humanitarian needs amid persistent challenges like climate change, economic crises, conflict and natural disasters. With an estimated 22.9 million people in need in 2025, traditional annual assessments are insufficient for capturing rapid shifts in localized needs. In response, the NMF was developed by the Assessment and Analysis Working Group (AAWG) to complement the annual Joint Intersectoral Analysis Framework (JIAF) by offering quarterly, district-level insights into multisectoral needs.
