Shelter Repair Kit Assistance for Kurram Agency
March 1st, 2012 To June 30th, 2012


FRD has entered into an agreement with UNHCR to restore normal life in the areas of return for returnee IDPs both  of sectarian violence as well as conflict between military and militants The project will provide shelter repair kit assistance to 1000 returnee IDPs families which will facilitate more than 7,000 individuals to live a life of dignity. This shelter repair kit assistance is a bit improvised as compared to shelter repair kit assistance in other FATA agencies as it has an inbuilt component of improving the hygiene conditions through provision of wash room material as well as roofing material for a kitchen. As for some IDPs it is more than 4 years that they have abandoned their houses and have taken refuge in other parts of the country. The absence of proper maintenance and prevalence of active conflict has caused significant damage to housing. This is really important to enable these IDPs to have their own houses at the places of their origin.


It is planned to benefit the most vulnerable families who are in need of shelter and don’t have the required resources for construction/repair of their houses. After verification of vulnerable families by FRD social team, shelter repair kit will be distributed to each targeted family.As raising the walls of the shelter is the responsibility of the beneficiaries, technical persons of FRD will keep on providing on the spot guidance and peer groups meetings trainings to incorporate possible DRR measure in construction of their shelters. The social mobilization teams of FRD will organize village level committees of the beneficiaries. These committees will not only help in verification of the beneficiaries but will also lead the process of early recovery in their villages, additionally to speed up the process of construction, water will be provided through tankering in villages where there is a problem or shortage of water for construction.
Cash for work will be provided to each beneficiary in two instalments ie. Initial instalment of PKR.8,550 will be issued with provision of tool kits and final instalment of PKR.8,550 will be issued after completion of construction process.
FRD will be in close contact with coordination body, the return task force and other stakeholders to enable its project interventions meet the objectives of the project. The neutrality and impartiality aspect of humanitarian work will be maintained throughout the project.
This project will help bring the life back to normal as after having a proper home the returnee IDPs can focus on rehabilitation of their livelihoods and other productive activities.
