Nearly 4000 individuals from flood affected districts participated through a total of 392 interviews (250 focus group discussions and 142 key informants’ interviews -which included community leaders/ representatives, women groups and local authorities etc). RPA was conducted by a stand-by roster of enumerators and data managers trained under the Protection Early Recovery Thematic Working Group 2 emergency preparedness plan. At the request of the government for relief assistance and technical assistance on a rapid needs assessment, the stand-by RPA roster was activated and deployed to the affected districts to collect the protection related data for 7 days. The overall goal of the RPA is to understand protection situations that flood affected populations in Balochistan are facing, with particular focus on the most vulnerable and to highlight protection gaps needed to be addressed. The RPA is also intended to incorporate key protection concerns into the flood response plan and formulate recommendations, including activation of the protection cluster and protection mainstreaming in other clusters to effectively address the expressed needs. Key Findings Lack of assistance and/or limited access to available assistance by vulnerable groups 92% of responses 3 indicated that their communities had not received assistance at all. Among those who reported that their community had received assistance, 55 indicated in the interviews that they encountered 1 Exact site names in database are not explicitly mentioned in the current report due to confidentially principles being adhered to, but such names are available in the central database and have been shared with the assessment survey committee. Such information can be further extracted based on needs/requests. 2 The Protection Thematic Working Group for the early recovery phase of 2010 floods was established in March 2011 and activated at national, provincial and district levels. The national group is co-led by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Rescue Committee (IRC). 3 In this report “a response” or “an interview” means the information shared through either a key informant or focus group Interview. For example, 92% of responses/interviews mean that 92% of 392 interviews reported that their communities had not received assistance. 4 problems of access to assistance, due to various reasons including inadequate or lack of information regarding available assistance. Respondents reported that access to services is particularly difficult for persons with specific needs, e.g. female headed households, elderly persons and persons with disabilities (physical, visual, intellectual and hearing) as well as those who do not have civil documents such as the computerized national identification cards (CNIC) have difficulties in accessing relief items. Safety and security 7% of responses indicated theft, robbery or internal-communal disputes/conflicts with nearby populations as their main safety and security concerns, in addition to other concerns. Women There is severe lack of privacy for females and lack of appropriate health facilities in the affected districts. 180 responded with privacy being their main concern. Children Respondents reported child labor one of the issues faced by the children. 25 instances of injuries have been reported for girl children while 28 for boys. 21 cases of child labour were reported for boys. Persons with disabilities ( physical, visual, intellectual and hearing) and elderly persons Respondents mentioned that persons with disabilities and elderly persons in their communities reportedly had problems such as lack of assistance in all districts, discrimination to access basic services, loss of mobility aids/assistive devices and access to specialized services. 65% of interviews indicated lack of assistance to elderly persons as the most pressing concern. Low protection response capacity Most of the districts currently affected have a low protection capacity. Specialized assistance, such as mobility and assistive equipments for children, women, elderly persons and persons with disabilities, is lacking generally. Furthermore, systematic monitoring, reporting, response and referral mechanisms are non existent in the affected districts making it difficult for those affected to access any assistance and services. 5 Recommendations In order to respond to the above protection concerns it is recommended that the Protection Cluster including sub-clusters on child protection and gender-based violence be activated to ensure provision of the main life- saving interventions, in order to: • Advocate to Food Security, WASH, Health and Emergency Shelter Clusters to make special efforts to ensure that vulnerable women and children, people with disabilities, elderly persons and ethnic minorities have equal access to assistance without discrimination and in accordance with humanitarian principles. • Establish protection monitoring and reporting mechanisms to identify the protection concerns affecting vulnerable groups including children, women, elderly and disabled, based on the finding of the RPA. • Ensure that affected persons are referred to existing services. • Establish and support a mechanism immediately to prevent and respond to violence, exploitation and abuse of children and women, including gender-based violence. • If need be, ensure usage of Standard Registration Form(SRF) and tracing forms for separated and unaccompanied children and establish mechanism immediately to identify, register, verify, reunify and follow-up on separated and unaccompanied children. • To establish coordination mechanism at the district levels to reach the affected population. • Build the protection capacity of government departments and NGOs working

During these floods, the ground communication systems were generally disrupted and information on flood extent and damage through ground reporting services was not available for taking timely decisions. To address the situation and to ensure continuous provision of current and timely information to the concerned stakeholder’s and decision makers satellite remote sensing and GIS technologies were extensively utilized. SUPARCO in collaboration with FAO started generating data on daily basis on flood extent, damage to households, infrastructure and crops besides undertaking detailed Damage Need Assessment (DNA). This fast track supply of information made it possible to reach out to affected and displaced masses for supply of food, medical care, relief, rehabilitation and follow up programs. In the aftermath of floods, monitoring of flood recession and ponding of water in the affected areas on decadal basis was also carried out for several months. All of this work was published by SUPARCO-FAO jointly in three reports (Reports 1 to 3).

  • Survey Report
    SAVE THE NATURE SURVEY REPORT BALOCHISTAN BLACK BEARIN PAB HILL, DISTRICT KHUZDARBALOCHISTAN [November2013] [ INTRODUCTION Balochistan, the largest province of Pakistan, has a rich floral and faunal diversity. Despite its global importance it has never been explored in detail nor been managed properly. The ecosystems are being degraded, depleted and deteriorated mainly due to the absence of appropriate management practices. As a result critical habitats continue to be degraded and many species of global importance have either become extinct or are critically endangered. The government has limited reach to the wilderness areas of the province, and little capacity or resources to undertake conservation activities. The extent of the issues is further augmented in these areas of the province due to inaccessibility and lack of human resources with the custodian department. Overgrazing; cutting of scanty vegetation by outsiders for sale as for fuel; indiscriminate hunting and trade in wild species are common practice especially in the bordering districts. Besides poverty and unawareness, the other most serious deficiency in environmental policy-making in the province lies in the lack of adequate and specifically trained human resources, able to generate new or to tap traditional knowledge needed for effective policy and proper implementation of the decisions. HABITAT AND LOCALITY OF BLOCHISTAN BLACK BEAR WADH Sub-Tehsil of district Khuzdar, Balohistan is very famous for its unique natural resources. It is predominantly inhabited by Mengal Tribe of Balochistan. The climate of the area is semi-arid with warm summers and mild winters. The target area, like rest of the Balochistan is also rich in mineral resources.

The present environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) study of the Promoting Girls Education in Balochistan (PGEB) project has been carried out in compliance with the national environmental laws of Pakistan and the World Bank Operational Policies (OPs). The ESIA delineates the environmental and social issues emerging from the PGEB project, identifies the potentially adverse environmental and social impacts of the project activities, and suggests appropriate mitigation measures to offset or reduce these impacts. The report also suggests guidelines for environmental enhancement opportunities available during various phases of project implementation to maximize the benefit to environment. The mitigation measures and guidelines have been organized in the form of an environmental and social management plan (ESMP) to be implemented by the Project Management Unit (PMU) of the PGEB project for avoiding or mitigating the significant environment and social impacts. 2. The scope of the study entails assessment of the environmental and social impacts of PGEB project activities in the selected 12 districts of the province including Kachhi, Loralai, Jhal Magsi, Khuzdar, Kalat, Lasbela, Jaferabad, Kech, Panjgur, Kila Saifullah, Pishin and Naseerabad districts. The project area spreads over from north to south of the province covering almost 138,011 square kilometers (40%) area of the province. The environmental and social assessment covers physical, biological and social impacts of project activities during various implementation stages from site selection and designing to construction and operational phase of the school buildings.
