PHPF in 2018 contributed $5.4 million through a Standard and a Reserve allocation. Although this represents a small share of the larger humanitarian funding allocated under a three-year FATA Transition plan for the KPMD, the PHPF allocations NEIL BUHNE had a positive impact on helping the affected communities rebuild their lives and enhance their resilience. Humanitarian Coordinator for PaKistan In the 2018 PHPF allocation, 70% of projects were implemented through NNGOs and 30% through INGOs. The PHPF 2018 allocation was aligned with the FATA Transition Plan 2018-20 and the New Way of Working (NWOW): the strategic framework aiming to foster sustainable conditions of return and durable solutions for returnees including through linKages with the development sector. The PHPF focused on bringing critical relief and responding to the most pressing needs, including women and girls and the most vulnerable populations. Through the projects funded by the PHPF, we contributed towards attaining a positive impact with the existing limited resources, and we continue to identify room for improvement in our future engagement with communities and partners and in our future allocations. The added value and comparative advantage of PHPF is the combination of flexibility and strategic focus with a robust accountability system, collective prioritization, the timely allocation of limited resources, thereby enabling humanitarian interventions in the most efficient way, and ultimately strengthening the humanitarian coordination and leadership. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the contributing donors for their continuous support and their trusted partnership. The contributions to the PHPF increased by almost $400,000 in 2018 thanks to the renewed contributions of the governments of the United Kingdom, Sweden and the new one of Canada. Their durable commitment continues to provide me with an effective and enabling tool to coordinate with our partners, so we can 5 Credit: OCHA PaKistan 6 PHPF 2018 ANNUAL REPORT PHPF ANNUAL REPORT 2018 IN REVIEW This Annual Report primarily presents information on the achievements of the Pakistan Humanitarian Pooled Fund (PHPF) during the calendar year of 2018. However, it also gives information on the achievements made through the allocations done in 2017-16. the achievement of PHPF is reported in two distinct ways: 1. Information on allocations granted in 2018 (shown in blue). This method considers intended impact of the allocations rather than achieved results as project implementation and reporting often continues into the subsequent year and results information is not immediately available at the time of publication of this annual report. 2. Results reported in 2018 attributed to allocations granted in 2017-16 (shown in orange). This method provides a more complete picture of achievements during a given calendar year but includes results from allocations that were granted in previous years. This data is extracted from final narrative reports approved between 1 January 2018 – 31 January 2019. Figures for people targeted and reached may include double counting as individuals often receive aid from multiple cluster/sectors. Contribution recorded based on the exchange rate when the cash was received which may differ from the Certified Statement of Accounts that records contributions based on the exchange rate at the time of the pledge. 2018 IN REVIEW: HUMANITARIAN CONTEXT 7 2018 IN REVIEW HUMANITARIAN CONTEXT Protracted Displacement Tribal Districts Transition FrameworK The KP merged districts (KPMD) have been affected by PHPF allocations contributed to the underdevelopment for long years.
