  • IVAP Analysis Report April 2015
    IVAP Analysis Report April 2015 IVAP is proudly funded by ECHO and DFID Background to KP/FATA Complex Emeregency The Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) is a semi-autonomous tribal region in northwestern Pakistan. It borders Afghanistan as well as Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan provinces. More than 5 million people have been registered with the government and/or UNHCR as an internally displaced person (IDP) at some point since 2008 due to violent clashes in the country’s northwest region made up of FATA and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. The 2014 military operations in North Waziristan and Khyber Agencies aggravated the situation, leading to the displacement of a further 233,000 families (approximately 1.4 million people). According to latest estimates from the UNHCR (2014), there are currently 1.6 million registered IDPs in KP/FATA. The vast majority of IDPs in KP/FATA chose to live in host communities (97%) rather than in camps for cultural reasons, including the privacy of females and difficult living conditions in the camps. The rest, who often have no other option, live in IDP camps (3%) (WFP). OCHA and other sources put the proportion of displaced families living outside of camps at 90% (OCHA, 18 June 2014; NYT, 20 June 2014; Al-Jazeera, 26 June 2014; IDMC, 12 June 2013, p.6). Displacement is difficult in Pakistan, which is ranked 146th on the list of 186 countries covered by the Human Development Index (UNDP, 24 July 2014, p.159). An estimated one fifth of its population are poor across the country, while in the KP/FATA a staggering one third of the population are poor (FDMA/UNDP, 2012, p.5; HDR, 2013, p.18; HPG, May 2013, p.21; UNDP, 27 October 2011).
