1st May 2011 To 31st July 2011

The worsened security situation in South Waziristan Agency and the military operation against militants in the area caused hundreds of thousands of families from South Waziristan Agency to flee to stable districts and cities of the country. The long term conflict situation in the area and lack of proper maintenance in a scenario, where the country experienced worst rains and floods in 2010, caused heavy damages to the residential facilities in South Waziristan Agency.

FRD with support of UNHCR provided the support in form of shelter roofing material, One door one window and US$ 100 as cash for work to the vulnerable families who did not had resources to reconstruct their own houses.

Permanent One room shelter for flood affected population in Charsadda Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa
1st February 2011 To 31st December 2011

The worst floods in

the living history of the country hit the country in monsoon 2010. The floods

left millions of people across the country homeless. To respond to the needs of

the flood affected population for shelter FRD started construction of 1000

permanent rooms accompanied by a kitchen and wash room for the vulnerable

families in district Charsadda. The Project was supported by UNHCR with funding

from Japanese Government. The methodology of the project implementation had

been involvement of the beneficiaries in the decision making process. In each

village of intervention FRD formed one community organization of men and one

community organization of women. Both the organizations were provided

orientation on vulnerabilities and were asked to identify the vulnerable

families in the village who need shelter support. Both the organizations

prepared an independent list of the deserving beneficiaries and handed it over

to the field staff of FRD. In the follow up Field staff of FRD carried out a

door to door assessment of the identified beneficiaries and corrected if there

had been any vulnerable beneficiary left out. The door to door assessment of

FRD team members was meant to bring the neutrality and impartiality to the assessment

as well as verification of the assessments by the community. After the

beneficiaries selection the technical team of FRD provides technical guidance

and lay out for shelter construction. The shelter construction requires

contribution from beneficiaries in the form of unskilled labor and some

material below the plinth level. FRD provides material and skilled labor. The

design of all the shelters comply with basic disaster risk reduction measure

such as raised plinth level, framed structure and capacity building of the

beneficiaries in disaster risk reduction.

Keeping in view the dire need for the shelter in the area, and the progress of

FRD on the shelter, FRD has renewed its agreement with UNHCR, whereby UNHCR

supported an additional 700 families as well with regard to their

shelter. So total number of beneficiaries families for this project turns to be

1700 with a population of about 10,068 individuals. In all the selected 100% of

the women headed, Child headed and physically handicapped headed households

have been assisted.

Before closing of the

Project FRD had received so many requests from poor and vulnerable families who

could not receive the assistance due to scarcity of resources and a huge need.

FRD had identified some savings in its various heads and communicated with

UNHCR to allow for construction of additional shelter 43 for the

vulnerable families. UNHCR people were kind enough to allow for additional

construction of shelters and community infrastructure in two villages

In addition to improvement in drinking water quality FRD engaged a team of enthusiastic male and female hygiene promoters to contribute to positive behaviour change with regard to personal and communal hygiene. The hygiene promoters carried out hygiene promotion sessions on household level, neighbourhood and schools level.
