Beyond basic amenities
CHALLENGE Village Jehangirabad situated near river bank of Swat at a distance of round about 17km from Mingora. It has a vast fertile agriculture land & majority of people are farmers of cereal crops (Rice, Maize, Wheat), Vegetables (tomato, Onion, bringer, spinach) & Fruits (Peach, Apple, Persimmons, plumb). Nearly 250 H/H are settled here and farming is their main source of income. Not only local farmers are engaged in agriculture activities, but many other farmers from surrounding having lands on lease for such activities. The process of irrigation is conducted through canals/Nehar. The heavy rains which lead to devastating flood damaged one of the main irrigation channel known as (Brakho) with attached pathway. In this channel the water flow was not satisfactory, because the eroded soil from sides and weeds do not let the water to move freely, which create hardships for farmers to irrigate their lands. Before and after the flood the farmers used to cut down the path way to irrigate their lands on other side of the path way, because most of the irrigation systems were buried; terraces and protection wall required significant rehabilitation. Besides, it also created great drenches/hurdles for transportation and for the people going on foot especially at night. Also access to the market was very difficult for farmers, because the pathway was also eroded, due to which many times it occurred that the pulling cart & trolleys to go upside down. This leads to so many communal problems.
INITIATIVE LASOONA “Society for Human and Natural Resource Development” in collaboration with WHH launched a project “Sustainable
LASOONA Annual Report 2012 30 Food Security and Sustainable Livelihoods Program Case Study
Agriculture Rehabilitation to Ensure Food Security and Disaster Prevention” in order to improve the agricultural conditions of the flood-stricken people and area.
RESULTS According to the farmers of Jehangirabad, “the construction of irrigation channel side wall fulfilled their long-lasting dream. They further said that with the protection wall built on irrigation channel vanished the leakage, soil erosion and vanished weeds growing on the side of channel which lead to increase the flow of water. The existing work rehabilitation/ reconstruction of the channel has infested a new courage and revived the dormant determination in all of us, the farmers. We have heaved a sigh of satisfaction and pleasure as our popular occupation of farming will get restored and streamlined. The channel will also get paved/ cemented that will make the flow of water easier, quick and felicitous. So there would be double advantages of the work i.e. on one hand the channel would be rehabilitated and on other hand, the flow of the water will get easy and quick. These double advantages will certainly make double our agricultural yields and our economy would considerably get improved and we will get rid of the financial crunches.” Some eminent farmers of Jehangirabad were interviewed by LASOONA team to share the information/facts, they describe the situation that with the construction of farm road & underground culverts totally finished the disputes of farmers, drivers as well as common people, which were continued for the last so many years. The transportation of all types of Vehicles such as Tractor and pulling cart became much easier. Now crops, vegetables and fruit can be easily shifted to the market and will be safe from being rotten which results handsome increase in the income of the inhabitants of the area. The flow of water is now high, due to which fields can be easily irrigated. This increases productivity ratio. 150 directly and 100 indirectly H/H are benefited from this scheme. The people of the area paid special thanks to LASOONA Organization for valuable contribution and support.

Disaster Risk Management Program
LASOONA's focus on disaster risk reduction, relief and rehabilitation which was emerged in 2005 after the massive earthquake hit most of the districts of KPK and AJK. LASOONA's then experience in undertaking relief related activities encouraged the organization to contribute towards Disaster Risk Management of its constituency. However, soon after the earthquake and when relief was no more a priority theme, the organization tuned its interventions predominantly towards Disaster Risk Reduction. These skills and abilities to handle disasters became quite helpful while working for internally displaced people (IDPs) during military operation and then during floods in 2010. Program Goal To increase resilience of hazard prone communities and institutions by reducing vulnerabilities through support to strategies that enable them to better prepare for, mitigate and respond to natural disasters. Program Objectives:
∑ Empower vulnerable communities in high risk areas with resources and capacities to prepare for, respond and recover from disaster. ∑ To reduce the risks of loss of life, injuries, economic cost and destruction of natural and cultural resources that result from disaster. ∑ To provide emergency, relief and rehabilitation services to the communities to quickly recover from disasters.

LASOONA Annual Report 2012 47 Disaster Risk Management Case Study Minimizing Risks through Capacity building in CBDRM CHALLENGE Tanazgaah is a small hamlet of thirty houses located in village new Mankyal Union Council-Mankyal, District Swat. Livelihoods of the people were badly affected by flash floods in 2010. Steep slopes with frequent land sliding and soil erosion characterize the area. The area has witnessed frequent disasters in the near past in the shape of floods, heavy snow, land sliding and soil erosion. Despite the persistent risk of so many natural hazards, the people are not prepared to respond effectively and timely to any disaster. Precious lives have been lost in the past due to remoteness of the area, limited skills in search, rescue and lack of preparedness plans.
INITIATIVE For short and medium term food security and disaster prevention, LASOONA launched a two years project in flood affected districts of Swat, Shangla and Kohistan. Apart from other rehabilitation and recovery interventions, strengthening capacities of the local population on disaster risk management was one of the significant activities. In order to analyze the extent of vulnerabilities and existing local capacities of the people, hazard, vulnerability and capacity assessment exercises were conducted in each target villages. Assessment findings paved the way to carry out organized efforts to build local capacities and reduce vulnerabilities. In order to develop local capacity to manage risks, disaster management committees and emergency response teams were constituted and trained on search and rescue, first aid, preparedness and evacuation plans. The trained teams have also been equipped with DRR kits.It was the first week of November 2012 when a fire broke in the houses of Mr. Adil and his brother Muhammad Zahir Shah, both the houses were entangled in flames. It was a day time and most of the men were busy in the fields or doing labor.
LASOONA Annual Report 2012 48 Disaster Risk Management
No one was around to rescue women, children and livestock although few people from the neighboring houses tried their level best to control the fire but were unable to control it as they were not trained and equipped to deal the situation. The crowd gathered quickly. One of the villagers contacted the recently trained emergency response team if they could help the vulnerable. Majority of the team members were available in the village, while the DRR kit was placed in the main village, which is quite away from the hamlet Tanazgaah, once the member was informed regarding this accident, they rushed the DRR kit along and rest of the members to the place of fire. “When the Emergency Response Team arrived at the place of fire, they quickly arranged in 4 teams, one of the teams was assigned the task to rescue the women and children along with livestock and other precious things, the second team started collecting water from the nearby tap stand using plastic pipes, the third team separated the house from the portion where fire was flaming through axes and digger and one of the teams was busy in collecting sand and clay for extinguishing the fire” said by Mr. Adil The CBDRM committee quick response mitigated huge loss to human lives, livestock and other assets as one of the members rescued the family when they were standing beneath the wooden beam, which also got enflamed. As soon as the family was rescued after few minutes the wooden beam was zero ground, and if not recued in time that would have led to huge human loss. “I have lost one portion of my house which carried beds quilts/beddings, hey and utensils. I roughly estimated the loss, which is 730,000 rupees, but I am fortunate that my family members remained unhurt due to the rescue committee efforts. Today, my family members are alive, my livestock is here with me and above all there is shelter left to stay in with my family. I am thankful to LASOONA and rescue committee established by LASOONA.”, said by Mr. Adil

Climate Change and Environmental Management Program
Climate change and variability are among the most important challenges facing Pakistan because of our strong economic reliance on natural resources and rain- fed agriculture. People living in marginal areas such as dry lands or mountains, like Khyber Pukhtunkhwa and FATA, face additional challenges with limited management options to reduce its impacts. The area is characterized by limited economic resources and infrastructure, low levels of technology, poor access to information and knowledge, inefficient institutions and limited empowerment and access to resources are highly prone to adverse impacts. Realizing its importance LASOONA has included climate change and Environmental Management as a key programmatic area to design strategies which would enable the vulnerable communities/institutions to cope with the circumstances in terms of the speed of the effective response and the availability of choice of options to the climate change.
Program Goal: Responding to the challenges of global climate change: enhancing resilience and supporting adaptation of communities.
Program objectives ∑ Enhanced resilience of vulnerable communities to adapt to the impacts of climate variations. ∑ Vulnerable groups 'access to information and participation in environmental management processes is ensured by promoting community based bio diversity conservation

This will ensure sustainability to the activity and at the same time community ownership would also be promoted.

Knowledge Management
Knowledge Management ('KM') comprises a range of practices used by LASOONA to identify, create, represent, and disseminate knowledge. LASOONA understands Knowledge Management as the cultivation of an environment within which people are willing to share, learn and collaborate together leading to improvement. LASOONA vigorously pursued organizational objectives such as improved performance, competitive advantage innovation, lessons learnt transfer (for example between projects) and the general development of collaborative practices. Knowledge Management is frequently linked to the idea of the learning organization although neither practice encompasses the other. It may be distinguished from organizational learning by a greater focus on specific knowledge assets and the development and cultivation of the channels through which knowledge flows in LASOONA.
