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.

    Floods in Pakistan Pakistan Health Cluster Bulletin No 6 5 August, 2010 Out -patient consultation in a static clinic operating in Nowshera district-Photo by Syed Haider Ali-WHO-EHA Highlights: Around 1.6 million people have been affected overnight in Punjab. A multi cluster rapid assessment mission (MCRAM) has commenced on 5 August. Infrastructure damage is hampering access to public health facilities in multiple locations in Khyber Paktunkhwa. The flood waters continue to destroy South of Punjab while heavy rains crippled lives in upper Sindh. One alert of acute watery diarrhea was reported from Chendangari village of FR Peshawar area where 70 patients have been reported so far though unconfirmed sources WHO, Government and Health Cluster partners are continuing the health response and struggling to reach communities and individuals in areas which are inaccessible. Situation Overview and Current Scope of Disaster Exact figures of deaths are still not clear but at least over 1,500 people have lost their lives with over a thousand injured. Initial findings of a WFP assessment suggest that some 250,000 families or 1.8 million people would be in need of assistance in KPK alone. These figures may rise as more areas are becoming accessible. The number of flood affectees in Punjab province is reported to be nearly 1.4 million people. According to UNOCHA some 4 million people have been affected due to country wide floods in Pakistan. Currently the flood wave of Indus River is in Muzaffargarh district (Southern Punjab) and after devastating Kot Addu town, it has entered Kot Mithon.

  • Pakistan Earthquake Fact Sheet #2
    BUREAU FOR DEMOCRACY, CONFLICT, AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE (DCHA) OFFICE OF U.S. FOREIGN DISASTER ASSISTANCE (OFDA) Pakistan – Complex Emergency Fact Sheet #1, Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 October 23, 2009 Note: The last fact sheet was dated September 22, 2009. KEY DEVELOPMENTS • On October 17, the Government of Pakistan (GoP) commenced a military offensive in South Waziristan Agency, Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). As of October 21, the conflict had displaced approximately 133,800 people, or more than 19,000 families—representing 56 percent of the U.N.’s worst-case planning figure of 240,000 to 250,000 individuals. • The U.N. World Food Program (WFP) temporarily closed humanitarian hubs in North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) on October 21 due to security concerns. On October 22, WFP reopened the majority of the hubs following completion of various security-related adjustments designed to mitigate congestion and potential security risks. • Since FY 2008, the U.S. Government (USG) has provided more than $300 million to conflict-affected populations in Pakistan, including more than $106 million in USAID/OFDA funding. • In FY 2010, USAID’s Office of Food for Peace (USAID/FFP) contributed an additional $20 million in food assistance to conflict-affected individuals. The new contribution increases the total amount of USG-provided food assistance in Pakistan to $157 million, including $78 million in P.L. 480 Title II emergency food assistance from USAID/FFP, more than $35 million in USAID/OFDA support for local and regional food procurement, and $44 million in Food for Progress assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
