In 2009, SCA conducted an external environmental situation analysis (ESA) of all its operations in Afghanistan. For reasons of limited time and the inaccessibility of many health clinics at the time, SCA?s health programme was not covered by this ESA.

This environmental situation analysis (ESA) of SCA?s health programme is intended to supplement and complete the work carried out in the 2009 analysis and, in particular, to provide practical recommendations to the health programme.
