  • Protection Cluster Mission to Kurram 22- 26 April 2014
    Protection cluster mission to Kurram 22- 26 April 2014 Marokhel village I. Background Kurram Tribal Agency is one of the most scenic and picturesque valley of Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA) of Pakistan, having the geographic distinction of sharing a border with Afghanistan on three sides. The Agency is bounded on the north and west by Afghanistan (the provinces of Ningarhar and Paktia respectively), on the east by Orakzai and Khyber Agencies, on the southeast by District Hangu and on the south by North Waziristan Agency. The agency is 115 kilometres long with a total area of 3,380 square kilometres. Kurram Agency takes its name from the river Kurram, which passes through it. The headquarters of the agency is located at Parachinar. Kurram Agency is the only tribal region in the country’s semi-autonomous seven tribal territories which has a large number of Shiites - the rest of the six tribal agencies are overwhelmingly inhabited by Sunni Muslims. According to official figures, its total population is 500,000, with 58 percent Sunni and 42 percent Shiite. The majority of the Shiites live in the upper part of the Kurram Agency, while Sunnis inhabit lower and central Kurram. The population of Kurram valley consists of a number of tribes, namely Turi, Bangash, Parachamkani, Massozai, Alisherzai, Zaimusht, Mangal, Kharotai, Ghalgi and Hazara. There was also a sizeable Sikh population but most of them have left the valley. Sectarian violence is not a new phenomenon in Kurram Agency where well over 4000 people have been killed in clashes between the Sunni and Shia tribes since the decade of 1980s.

    FEDERALLY ADMINISTERED FATA URBAN CENTRES PROJECT TRIBAL AREAS (FATA) (FUCP) Tribal Areas Rural-to-Urban Centres FATA Secretariat, Peshawar Conversion Initiative (TARUCCI) SPATIAL / STRUCTURE PLAN FOR PARACHINAR, KURRAM AGENCY FINAL STRUCTURE PLAN REPORT September, 2015 Spatial / Structure Plan for Parachinar, Kurram Agency Final Structural Plan Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: The FATA Urban Centers Project (FUCP), started with the assistance of World Bank, falls under the umbrella of Tribal Areas Rural‐to‐Urban Centers Conversion Initiative (TARUCCI). The FUCP aims to contribute towards the priority recovery and rehabilitation needs of FATA, identified under the Post Crisis Needs Assessment (PCNA) completed in 2010. It will become a vehicle for social and economic transformation in FATA through provision of better connectivity, employment opportunities, and a range of basic services in its towns and cities to enable them to become engines of economic growth. The TARRUCI has appointed planning consultants to assess the existing services available in the major towns of FATA and produce an overall planning framework that can be used to guide the immediate and long‐term development of the town. The primary objective of this consultancy is to develop spatial/structure plan for the development of Parachinar town, taking account of the projected population growth, possible economic development scenarios, the need to serve existing and future population and other relevant factors. HISTORY: Parachinar has a rich history and has been a summer residence of Mughal rulers, who used to make stop over while travelling between Delhi and Afghanistan. Due to cool temperatures even in summer, Parachinar used to attract many visitors from the plains as far as Peshawar, until the Taliban militancy and sectarian conflict made it an insecure area.

All volumes contain a separate section for programmes in Afghanistan and for Refugees in Pakistan. They provide a compilation of the activities of some 220 Non -Governmental organizations (NGOs) working for Afghanistan. Whilst most agencies are Peshawar -based, activities are also reported for agencies located in Islamabad, Quetta and regional centres inside Afghanistan. The time and effort to produce this annual publication has been enormous. Whilst ACBAR is not in a position to confirm the information provided, I am confident that this publication provides an excellent picture of the work being undertaken by the NGO community for Afghans. I would also like to thank the agencies for providing the data; Mohammad Zakir, the main person in ACBAR behind all the work and other members of the Programme Department.
