PAKISTAN-BALOCHISTAN IPC ACUTE MALNUTRITION ANALYSIS August 2019 – Projection Until November 2019 Report # 0001 | Issued in September 2019 PAKISTAN-BALOCHISTAN IPC ACUTE MALNUTRITION ANALYSIS August 2019 – Projection until November 2019 Report # 0001 | Issued in September 2019 Key Figures August 2019 SAM* 199,811 Number of cases 395,654 MAM* Number of 6-59 months children acutely malnourished 195,843 Number of cases IN NEED OF TREATMENT GAM* 395,654 Number of cases How Severe, How Many and When – Acute malnutrition is affecting around 0.4 million under 5 children, more than half of all children age 6-59 months in the 14 drought affected districts of Balochistan, making it a major public health problem in these districts. Of the 14 drought affected districts, 1 district has extremely critical levels of acute malnutrition (IPC AMN Phase 5) while 11 have critical levels of acute malnutrition (IPC AMN Phase 4) and 2 are in Phase 3 with serious levels of acute malnutrition according to the IPC AMN scale. Around 396,000 of the approximately 738,000 children of age 6-59 months are suffering from acute malnutrition during the drought period of May-August. 2019. Where – Panjgur district is affected by extremely critical levels of acute malnutrition and is classified as being in the highest phase of 5, according to the IPC AMN scale – where about one in 3 children under 5 are suffering from acute malnutrition. Although 11 other districts have critical levels of acute malnutrition (IPC AMN Phase 4), Kachhi, Pishin, Jhal Magsi and Dera Bugti districts have acute malnutrition levels that are close to IPC AMN Phase 5 thresholds. Awaran and Gwadar districts have serious levels (IPC AMN Phase 3) of acute malnutrition. Why – Although information on several contributing factors are limited, available information suggests that very poor quality and quantity of food consumed by children and high acute food insecurity are of major problems across all the 14 districts. Poor water and sanitation conditions and sub-optimal feeding practices (particularly exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding) are of major issues in most of the drought affected districts in Balochistan. Low vaccination coverage is also of concern in several districts.

Of the 14 drought affected districts in the province of Balochistan, one district is in IPC AMN Phase 5 (extremely critical levels of acute malnutrition) and 11 districts are in Phase 4 (critical levels of acute malnutrition) during the current period of analysis (May-Aug. 2019). Of the 34 districts in the province, 20 districts were not included in the current IPC AMN analysis, thus not classified. What’s in the table? Around 396,000 children of age 6-59 months in the 14 drought affected districts are affected by acute malnutrition – this is every second child in these districts is acutely malnourished. Total number of children with moderate and severe acute malnutrition is, 195,843 and 199,811 respectively. The top 3 districts with the highest number of acutely malnourished children are namely Pishin, Kech, and Killa Abdullah.

The current acute malnutrition situation is expected to get worse in 3 of the 14 drought affected districts namely Jhal Magsi, Kachhi, and Pishin and they are all likely to move from IPC AMN Phase 4 (critical levels of acute malnutrition) to IPC AMN Phase 5 (extremely critical levels of acute malnutrition) during the projection period (Aug.-Nov. 2019). Panjgur district, which currently is in IPC AMN Phase 5 is expected to remain in the same Phase during the projection period. All other districts will also maintain at their current IPC AMN Phases in the projection period. Regardless of their IPC AMN Phases, acute malnutrition will remain a major public health problem in all the 14 drought affected districts. It should be noted that, of the 34 districts in the province, 20 districts were not included in the current IPC AMN analysis, thus not classified. IPC ACUTE MALNUTRITION ANALYSIS PAKISTAN-BALOCHISTAN August 2019 – Projection until November 2019 Report # 0001 | Issued in September 2019 0000 IPC ACUTE MALNUTRITION ANALYSIS SITUATION OVERVIEW AND TREND ANALYSIS August 2019 – Projection until Nov ember 2019 4 Report # 0001 | Issued in September 2019 Current situation overview 0000 Acute malnutrition is a major public health problem that needs urgent attention and response in all the 14 drought affected districts of the Balochistan province included in the current IPC AMN analysis – more than half of all under 5 children in these districts are acutely malnourished. Panjgur district has the highest prevalence of acute malnutrition and is classified as being in Phase 5 according to the ICP AMN scale (with nearly 1 in every 3 children in the district is acutely malnourished). Eleven other districts are in IPC AMN Phase 4 with extremely critical levels of acute malnutrition and two districts are in IPC Phase 2 (acute malnutrition is in serious levels). Information on contributing factors are limited in most of the 14 districts. However, with the available information, major contributing factors to acute malnutrition are likely extremely poor quality and quantity of food intake by children and high level of food insecurity (according to the IPC Acute Food Insecurity analysis findings). Poor water and sanitation situation coupled with sub-optimal feeding practices (especially very low levels of exclusive breastfeeding and introduction of complementary feeding at the age of 6 months) are of major concerns in the majority of the 14 drought affected districts – see below for details on major contributing factors to acute malnutrition by district. Low vaccination coverage (particularly measles coverage) is also of concern several districts. Projected situation overview The critical level of acute malnutrition (IPC AMN Phase 4) is likely to get worse in 3 districts (Jhal Magsi, Kachhi, Pishin) and become extremely critical (IPC AMN Phase 5). The current level of acute malnutrition situation is likely to remain the same at extremely critical levels in Panjgur and critical level in 8 other districts of Balochistan during the projection period. Awaran and Gwadar districts, which at present have serious levels of acute malnutrition, will also likely to remain the same during the projection period. Although historical information on both outcome indicators and contributing factors is limited, the available information inferred with expert opinion suggests that most contributing factors to acute malnutrition are either expected to remain at the current levels (poor) or slightly deteriorate further in some districts during the projection period. The factors that are likely to deteriorate in some districts are diseases based on the seasonal changes and food consumption (both quality and quantity) because of the deterioration expected in the food security situation, due to prevailing high food prices. Trend Analysis Available information on outcomes that is comparable is limited in all districts, particularly in the recent past. However, it has been acknowledged that acute malnutrition has consistently been high in all districts of the Balochistan province. According to the National Nutrition Survey of 2018, the situation has further deteriorated in several districts. The current drought appears to have further deteriorated the acute malnutrition situation in the 14 affected districts included in this IPC AMN analysis.

QUETTA :BETWEEN FOUR REGIONS AND TWO WARS Haris Gazdar, Sobia Ahmad Kaker, Irfan Khan Collective for Social Science Research February 2010 Crisis States Working Papers Series No.2 ISSN 1749-1797 (print) ISSN 1749-1800 (online) Copyright © H. Gazdar, S. Ahmad Kaker, I. Khan, 2010 24 Crisis States Working Paper Buffer Zone, Colonial Enclave or Urban Hub? Quetta: Between Four Regions and Two Wars Haris Gazdar, Sobia Ahmad Kaker and Irfan Khan Collective for Social Science Research, Karachi, Pakistan Quetta is a city with many identities. It is the provincial capital and the main urban centre of Balochistan, the largest but least populous of Pakistan’s four provinces. Since around 2003, Balochistan’s uneasy relationship with the federal state has been manifested in the form of an insurgency in the ethnic Baloch areas of the province. Within Balochistan, Quetta is the main shared space as well as a point of rivalry between the two dominant ethnic groups of the province: the Baloch and the Pashtun.1 Quite separately from the internal politics of Balochistan, Quetta has acquired global significance as an alleged logistic base for both sides in the war in Afghanistan. This paper seeks to examine different facets of Quetta – buffer zone, colonial enclave and urban hub − in order to understand the city’s significance for state building in Pakistan. State-building policy literature defines well functioning states as those that provide security for their citizens, protect property rights and provide public goods. States are also instruments of repression and the state-building process is often wrought with conflict and the violent suppression of rival ethnic and religious identities, and the imposition of extractive economic arrangements (Jones and Chandaran 2008).

  • 1951-81 Population Administrative . Units
    1951- 81 POPULATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE . UNITS (AS ON 4th FEBRUARY. 1986 ) - POPULATION CENSUS ORGANISATION ST ATIS TICS DIVISION GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN PREFACE The census data is presented in publica tions of each census according to the boundaries of districts, sub-divisions and tehsils/talukas at the t ime of the respective census. But when the data over a period of time is to be examined and analysed it requires to be adjusted fo r the present boundaries, in case of changes in these. It ha s been observed that over the period of last censuses there have been certain c hanges in the boundaries of so me administrative units. It was, therefore, considered advisable that the ce nsus data may be presented according to the boundary position of these areas of some recent date. The census data of all the four censuses of Pakistan have, therefore, been adjusted according to the administ rative units as on 4th February, 1986. The details of these changes have been given at Annexu re- A. Though it would have been preferable to tabulate the whole census data, i.e., population by age , sex, etc., accordingly, yet in view of the very huge work involved even for the 1981 Census and in the absence of availability of source data from the previous three ce nsuses, only population figures have been adjusted. 2. The population of some of the district s and tehsils could no t be worked out clue to non-availability of comparable data of mauzas/dehs/villages comprising these areas. Consequently, their population has been shown against t he district out of which new districts or rehsils were created.

  • Balochis of Pakistan: on the Margins of History
    BALOCHIS OF PAKISTAN: ON THE MARGINS OF HISTORY November 2006 First published in 2006 by The Foreign Policy Centre 23-28 Penn Street London N1 5DL www.fpc.org.uk Email: [email protected] © Foreign Policy Centre 2006 All rights reserved ISBN-13: 978-1-905833-08-5 ISBN-10: 1-905833-08-3 PREFACE The Foreign Policy Centre is keen to promote debate about some of the worlds lesser known conflicts. The situation in Balochistan is one such example. This pamphlet sets out a powerful and well argued case that the Balochi people have been let down - by the British Empire, by the founders of modern India and by successive Governments in Pakistan. It is a fascinating analysis which we hope will contribute to constructive discussion about Balochistans future.

  • Repression and Revolt in Balochistan the Uncertainty and Survival of a People’S National Aspirations
    FEATURE Repression and Revolt in Balochistan The Uncertainty and Survival of a People’s National Aspirations ZEUS HANS MENDEZ ife with historical tensions, the region of Balochistan has erupted into insurrections against the Pakistani state since 1948. Convinced of being historically wronged, the Baloch view their fight as one against repression Rand for self- determination. Though residing in the same region, the ethnic iden- tity of the Baloch has remained in sharp contrast to the ultranationalism that defines the Pakistani state. Therefore, the Pakistani security forces, who see many of the Baloch nationalist groups as terrorists, have crushed any opposition or de- mand for reform. This, in addition to a deteriorating human rights scenario has further cemented Baloch opposition against Pakistan. Across the border in Iran, the Baloch face a similar fate, with extreme deprivation and marginalization by the Iranian theocracy. While undoubtedly possessing unique identities and aspi- rations, repression and ignorance on both sides of the border have resulted in a common desire for liberation. However, the fact that an international border separates two distinctive Baloch communities, one motivated by secular aspira- tions and the other by Sunni Islam, any progress toward a unified front is hin- dered. Drawing on such dynamics, this article will seek to highlight the fact that even though the fight for Balochistan is one of international significance, most observers have ignored the situation, leaving the Baloch in a drawn- out insur- gency with no support and an increased feeling of uncertainty. In this context, many have termed the Baloch freedom movement as dying or dead.
