The Saudi Contribution to the Humanitarian Response for Internally Displaced and Crises Affected Population in Pakistan Communi The Kingdom Of Saudi Arabia The Saudi Contribution to the Humanitarian Response for Internally Displaced and Crises Affected Population in Pakistan Community Infrastructure Restoration and Rehabilitation in 6 tehsils of District Swat PAK-09/ER-119 Progress Report As of March 20, 2013 A. Project Summary: Name of Project Community Infrastructure Restoration & Rehabilitation in 6 Tehsils of District Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan Initial Approved USD 5,397,300 Funds Additional Approved USD 2.2 M Funds Project Target Restoration and rehabilitation of 585 damaged community infrastructure schemes (Link roads, Small bridges, culverts, streets, drainage Channels) Geographic Focus Six Tehsils including Babozai, Charbagh, Kabal, Khwazakhela, Matta Khararai, Matta Sebujni) of District Swat Approximate 937,593 individuals including 453,407male and 484,186 female Beneficiaries B. Background Pakistan has seen waves of extremist violence since 2002 when the Taliban government in Afghanistan was toppled by a US-led coalition. Remnants of the Taliban crossed the porous Afghanistan-Pakistan border to take refuge in the Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA). Soon Pakistan saw an emergence of Pakistani Taliban who eventually built strongholds in the adjoining North-West Frontier Province (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa), and gained control of Swat Valley in 2007. In February 2009, the provincial government signed a peace deal with the militant group in order to stop their terrorist attacks. The ceasefire was short lived, and after a series of blatant suicide bombings, on April 27, 2009, the government launched military operations to drive out the Taliban from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa; this triggered a massive humanitarian crisis. The crisis between the militants and armed forces in Swat, Buner, Dir, and Shangla districts of Malakand Division forced over 2.3 million people to leave their homes. To compound these issues, many families abandoned their means of livelihood and during their displacement, accrued debt in order to meet basic needs. In July 2009, after the government regained control, the crisis-affected families were enabled a safe return home through the ‘Naway Sehar’ (Dawn of a New Beginning) project of the Pakistan and KPK governments, with the assistance of international humanitarian organizations. However due to a Community Infrastructure Restoration and Rehabilitation in 6 tehsils of District Swat-PAK-09/ER-119 –Progress Report as of March 20, 2013 1 prolonged gap in economic activity, the majority of crisis-affected families lacked basic income-generating options, and the displacements had depleted their minimal savings. Many families lost their source of income due to the destruction caused by the crisis, and upon their return, there were few opportunities for people to meet their day-to-day needs and revive their livelihoods. The magnitude of destruction was massive. Swat district suffered the most infrastructural damage, with some estimates comparing the levels to those witnessed after the 2005 earthquake. With the support of UNDP, the Early Recovery network undertook a Crisis Early Recovery Initial Needs Assessment (CERINA) that provides evidence-based information for priority interventions. This crisis followed by the 2010 floods, caused enormous damage to the economy of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK); in particular to the agriculture sector. Up to 97 percent of spring crops – mainly wheat but also fruits and vegetables – were lost, as fields ready for harvest were abandoned and became inundated. To compound this dire situation, many livestock – the main asset of rural families – died. An estimated 717,000 large and 726,000 small animals were lost in the crisis area, which represents 37 percent of the total large and small animal population. In addition, a large number of watercourses, terraces and embankments were also damaged, as were many buildings, roads, street, bridges and other infrastructure, including irrigation facilities, schools, hospitals, basic health units, government offices, veterinary hospitals and research facilities were either bombed or looted and vandalized. The impact of the crisis and floods further worsened conditions in the province already suffering from distrust of the local administration, inadequate access to basic services including access to health and education which were already insufficient for the local population. One of the worst hit sectors during the devastation of torrential rains and floods in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in floods 2010 is infrastructure, where some 2000 km of roads, 40 major, 40 medium and 90 foot bridges, whereas about 700 educational and 150 health facilities besides 158 government buildings were completely destroyed1. The damage to community infrastructure and collapse of the relevant institutions deprived communities’ access to basic services and facilities. Crisis Early Recovery Initial Need Assessment report, Post Crisis Need Assessment report of KP and FATA and Flood Early Recovery Need Assessment report suggest a two pronged approach (i) community based interventions targeting rural areas; and (ii) interventions through local Government/line departments in urban and rural areas. Full community participation with strong community mobilization is also strongly recommended. The report further highlights the importance of immediate restoration and rehabilitation of community infrastructure that will provide an opportunity for peace building within and among the affected communities. The goal of early recovery programming in community infrastructure is to restore community services, functions and processes, bringing them to normalcy. With the financial support of USD 7.6 million, from The Saudi Fund for Development, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, UNDP is implementing a “Community Infrastructure Restoration and Rehabilitation” project in District Swat, KP. Through this project, UNDP in coordination with the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is rehabilitating 585 damaged community infrastructures schemes (link roads, drainage channels, culverts, bridges, and streets) in six Tehsils of District Swat. The interventions will improve access to services and facilities for the local community and provide the infrastructure necessary for socioeconomic uplift in the area. 1 Early Recovery Need Assessment, Floods 2010 Community Infrastructure Restoration and Rehabilitation in 6 tehsils of District Swat-PAK-09/ER-119 –Progress Report as of March 20, 2013 2 C. Objectives To improve affected communities’ access to basic services and facilities by restoring and rehabilitating community physical infrastructure schemes. D. Rapid Need Assessment and Procurement Process To ensure ownership and to avoid duplication of efforts, series of meetings were held with different stakeholders including Provincial Reconstruction, Rehabilitation and Settlement Authority (PaRRSA), District Coordination Officer-Swat, Local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), relevant Development Partners and the communities. This was followed by a Joint ‘Rapid Needs Assessment’ of the proposed infrastructure schemes to assess the ground situation by a ‘Technical Committee’ comprising of engineers from PaRRSA, local CSOs and UNDP. This committee finalized the ‘Technical Specifications, Drawings and Bills of Quantities (BoQs) Formats, ‘Selection Criteria’ for the selection of CBIs, keeping in view the topography, climate and beneficiaries needs. In total 953 damaged schemes were identified. After detailed technical assessment, 585 severely damaged schemes were prioritized for rehabilitation. This was done in consultation with all relevant stakeholders. In order to solicit interest of the private construction firms, Invitation to Bid (ITB) was launched in two phases by the Procurement Unit of UNDP. This detailed document contained clear guidelines for the firms to apply for different packages. For ease of managing the procurement process and keeping in view the implementation capacities of the firms, the entire portfolio of 585 schemes was divided into seven packages. Detail is given in annexure-A. To further clarify the queries raised by construction firms, pre-bid conferences were also held. Criterion for selection was two-staged i.e. technical evaluation followed by financial evaluation. Technical committees comprising of civil engineers evaluated the bids based on the given criteria in the ITB. After getting SFD approval, UNDP has awarded contracts for the first phase to two construction firms namely M/s Hadaf International and M/s Akhunzada Fazal Jamil & Co, in the last week of September, 2012 for the rehabilitation of 207 Community Infrastructures Schemes, worth USD 1,027,256 million under Packages 1, 2 and 3. Details are as follows: Tehsil Wise Package Awarded to Construction Firms Total Description 1 2 3 Babuzai Charbagh Kabal Number of Schemes 27 41 139 207 Amount in USD 126,132 168,514 732,610 1,027,256 Contracts Awarded to M/s Hadaf M/s Hadaf M/s Akhunzada Firms International International Fazal Jamil & Co UNDP launched ITB for phase-II in November 2012 for packages 4, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3. 5.4, 6.1 and 6.2. Preliminary, technical and financial evaluations of two packages 5.2 & 5.3 have been completed to rehabilitate 103 schemes in UCs Arkot and Gowalria, Pri Kalay & Bar Thana in Tehsil Matta Sabujni. The rest of the schemes’ (275 schemes) procurement process will be completed shortly.

    Country Advice Pakistan Pakistan – PAK35880 – Swat Valley – PML-N – Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariah- Mohammadi – Landowners – April 2009 Army Offensive – Internal relocation – Asylum seekers 23 December 2009 1 Please provide a concise history of recent events in the Swat Valley, including the ‘Talibanisation’ of the valley and the April 2009 offensive by the Pakistan army to retake the valley. 2 What is the law and order situation in the Swat Valley since the April 2009 Pakistan army offensive in the valley? What has become of the Taliban leadership and militants in the valley since the offensive? Do they still pose a threat to the peace and stability of the valley? Origins of the Tehreek Nifaz e Sharia Mohammadi in the Swat Valley The terms ‘Taliban’ and ‘Taliban in Pakistan’ (TIP) are often employed by the Pakistani and International media as shorthand for a number of militant Islamic groups espousing the introduction of Sharia law, the creation of an Islamic state or the pursuit of violent jihad. It has been reported that a number of such groups currently operate in the Malakand district of North West Frontier Province, which includes the Swat Valley. In the Swat region itself, the primary movement since the early 1990s to the present day has been the Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e- Shariah-Mohammadi (TNSM). The February 2009 IRIN article ‘Pakistan: Origins of the violence in Swat Valley’ provides useful and concise information on the Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariah-Mohammadi (TNSM). On the subject of its origins IRIN states “[i]n 1992, Sufi Mohammad Khan established the Tehrik- e-Nifaz-e-Shariah-Mohammadi (TNSM) in Swat, as a party seeking an Islamic order.

COMMUNICATING A collection of successful local government initiatives under municipal CHANGE service delivery in Malakand Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH COMMUNICATING CHANGE A collection of successful local government initiatives under municipal service delivery in Malakand We measure our success not by the number of projects completed but by the positive change these projects bring in the lives of citizens. The restructuring of the local government system through the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Local Government Act 2013 is another major step forward in our efforts to make public goods and services available and accessible to everyone without any exception. We believe effective local governments work for the people and reflect their needs as closely as possible - and that is where communication is positioned to play a key role. For us, communication is an important medium to inform you about our priorities and achievements. At the same time, it goes far beyond that. We are strengthening two- way communication mechanisms to foster responsive local governments and informed citizens. Both are crucial for a meaningful dialogue. The five municipalities of Adenzai, Bahrain, Barikot, Kabal and Khwazakhela were established in 2010 as a result of re-configuration of the administrative setup in Malakand Division to address security measures and flood damages.

  • (Morels) of Utror-Gabral Valleys, District Swat, Pakistan by Muhammad Hamayun¹ and Mir Ajab Khan² ¹ Lecturer, Govt
    Studies on collection and marketing of Morchella (Morels) of Utror-Gabral Valleys, District Swat, Pakistan By Muhammad Hamayun¹ and Mir Ajab Khan² ¹ Lecturer, Govt. Degree College, Swabi, Pakistan ² Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan Address for Correspondence: Muhammad Hamayun, Lecturer in Botany, Govt. Degree College Kotha (Swabi), NWFP, Pakistan E.mail, M.Hamayun: [email protected] Abstract This paper is based on a research project carried out to study the collection and marketing status of morels in the remote HinduKush-Himalayan regions of Utror and Gabral, Pakistan. Eight species of morels were found to be collected in the project area during the months of March to July. Morchella conica and Morchella esculenta were the major species collected in the area. These morels are sold in the local markets of Madyan and Mingora, from where they are exported to France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Morels thus provide a vital source of income to the poor population of Utror and Gabral. Morel collectors include 38.0% women, 37.0% men and 25.0% children. Huge quantities of morels are lost each year due to improper storage and collection techniques. Key words: Morels; Marketing; Hindukush-Himalayas; Commerce Introduction of Study Site The Utror-Gabral valleys are situated in the north western part of the District Swat, Pakistan. The project area has unique flora as it occupies nexus of the three great mountain ranges i.e. Himalayas, Hindukush and Karakoram. The altitude of Utror is 2,225 meters and Gabral is 2,550 meters from the sea level.
