Assistance to Conflict IDPs in North West Frontier Province (NWFP) - PAK091 Appeal Target: US$ 5,265,923 Balance Requested: US$ 2,272,076

Geneva, 25 June 2009

Dear Colleagues,

ACT International members Church World Service-Pakistan/Afghanistan (CWS-P/A) and Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) continue to respond to the humanitarian crisis in Pakistan where, according to the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) government Emergency Response Unit, 3.5 million people have been uprooted by the conflict between the government and militants. As of June 23rd, 261,525 displaced persons are residing in 27 camps, but the vast majority are living with host families or friends or in ad hoc shelters and rented accommodation. The strain on host communities is massive and there is an urgent need to identify more land for camps. The registration process for IDPs is on-going and numbers continue to fluctuate, with 1.9 million IDPs registered by the national authorities (IFRC, June 23rd). The humanitarian needs are enormous and expected to increase as the potential for conflict in Waziristan is causing further population movements. Furthermore, as the July monsoon approaches the situation and needs may be exacerbated.

This elaborated appeal replaces a preliminary version issued on 20 May 2009, with a full CWS P/A programme now included. Please note that inclusion of a full NCA programme is still under development and will also be included in the near future, replacing the still preliminary version already issued.

The CWS-P/A 12-month project for over US $4 million proposed in this elaborated appeal includes 6 main components of relief and recovery assistance to conflict IDPs primarily in host communities, rather than camps, in Swabi and Mardan Districts of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP): Food and Non- food relief items, Livelihoods, Education, Health, Advocacy, Quality and accountability Capacity Development (Sphere and HAP). CWS P/A is implementing this programme with five implementing partner organisations. ACT is a global alliance of churches and related agencies working to save lives and support communities in emergencies worldwide. The ACT Coordinating Office is based with the World Council of Churches (WCC) and The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) in Switzerland. Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 2 Appeal PAK091

b) Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) is an international non-governmental organization (INGO) with a long history of providing emergency relief, long-term development and advocacy NCA works with partners in more than 60 countries ranging through faith based, secular and government institutions. NCA has a long history of providing emergency relief and long-term development support in Afghanistan and Pakistan and has had a presence in Pakistan since 1981. Working as implementing partner to Church World Service within the WASH sector, NCA was operational in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) in response to the October 2005 earthquake. NCA’s engagement in the sector was continued through four local partners after the earthquake response. NCA also cooperated with CWS and its local partner in providing assistance to victims of the floods in Balochistan and Sindh in 2007.

In January 2007, NCA established a country program in Pakistan, thus separating the Afghanistan and Pakistan programs. NCA Pakistan is working with partners in the areas of WASH, Peace and Reconciliation and Gender Based Violence. Three of NCA’s core partners are working in the WASH sector: Taraqee Foundation (TF), Pakistan Village Development Program (PVDP) and Pakistan Community Development Program (PakCDP). These organizations have got accreditation from the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy and meet internationally recognized standards in terms of experience, expertise and capacity to manage large programs. All are already involved in various rehabilitation and development interventions in both earthquakes and non-earthquake affected areas of Pakistan.

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 5 Appeal PAK091

NCA’s particular emergency response capacity is within the WASH (Water/Sanitation/Hygiene) sector. The organization seeks coordination within the sector through participation in the Global WASH Cluster as well as local emergency response WASH clusters. NCA maintains an emergency preparedness roster of about 80 persons with emergency relief training and experience, particularly within the WASH sector. In addition, the emergency preparedness personnel provide a significant surge capacity within psychosocial intervention, project management, finance, administration, logistics and security. WASH specialists at the head office level provide support to NCA’s own programs within the sector as well as to its partners. Additionally, logistical support is provided through NCA’s head office.

II. DESCRIPTION of the EMERGENCY SITUATION

Background Operations by the Pakistan government against militants in the Swat District of North West Frontier Province and Bajaur Agency of the F.A.T.A. in late April have resulted in massive displacement of the local population. Heavy shelling, bombardment and continual cross fire in the area compelled civilians to flee their homes. People have had to move to safer districts of NWFP including Swabi, Peshawar, Nowshera, Dir Upper, Charsadda, Buner, Kohat, Dir Lower, Mardan, Mansehra, and Abbottabad. The military is now widening its operations to the south- west in Waziristan, and the humanitarian community is monitoring the situation as a further 500,000 people may be displaced. As of June 22nd 2009, a further 40,000 people were reported as starting to move as a military offensive in South Waziristan, as reported by U.N. officials. According to the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) government Emergency Response Unit, 3.5 million people have been uprooted by the conflict between the government and militants. As of June 23rd, 261,525 displaced persons are residing in 27 camps, but the vast majority are living with host families or friends or in ad hoc shelters and rented accommodation. The strain on host communities is massive and there is an urgent need to identify more land for camps. The registration process for IDPs is on-going and numbers continue to fluctuate, with 1.9 million IDPs registered by the national authorities (IFRC, June 23rd). The humanitarian needs are enormous and expected to increase as the potential for conflict in Waziristan is causing further population movements. Furthermore, as the July monsoon approaches the situation and needs may be exacerbated. The head of the UN refugee agency, Antonio Guterres, has said "I don't recall any internal displacement crisis in which so many people have moved in such a short amount of time."

The recent influx of IDPs from Swat, Buner and Lower Dir adds to the existing humanitarian crises. Before the situation deteriorated, the humanitarian community had established 11 IDP camps across NWFP, providing the conflict-affected population in these camps with shelter, food, water, sanitation and hygiene services, child and women-friendly spaces, education facilities, and non-food items.

Swabi, with a population of around 1.02 million (82% rural and 18% urban), has a total area stretched over 1,543 square kilometers, out of which 78% is hilly and 21% is plain land. This district borders Haripur, Mardan, Buner and Mansehra District, making it easily accessible for the people of their neighboring districts. Swabi has very low social indicators as compared to other districts of Pakistan. The overall economically active population is just

19.5% (Source: http://www.malgareeswabiwal.com). The literacy rate is 36% which is comparatively even lower among women. The total population living below the poverty line (earning less than one USD per day) is 45%. The main livelihood of people is agriculture and livestock which is 52.6% of the total economically active population. Having already low social indicators, the local government and local communities of Swabi do not have the required social and physical infrastructure and resources to accommodate the everyday growing influx of internally displaced persons from Buner, Swat and Dir.

Mardan with a population of around 1.4 million (80% rural and 20% urban) has a total area stretched over 1,632 square kilometers. It is bounded on the north by Buner district and Malakand protected area, on the east by Swabi and Burner districts, on the South by Nowshera district and on the west by Charsadda district and Malakand protected area.

Registered IDPs The Government Social Welfare Department with the assistance of UNHCR is carrying out the registration process for the recent influx of IDPs living in and outside camps. Eighty-nine (89) registration points have been established in five districts (Mardan, Charsadda, Nowshera, Peshawar and Swabi). Each registration point has 15- 20 registration counters including separate counters for females and special persons (Source: UN OCHA Humanitarian Country Team Situation Report # 26, May 19, 2009).

As of June 7th, 3,390,236 IDPs have been registered staying outside camps, 148,469 in new camps, and a further 86,778 in old camps set up previous to the recent influx this year.

III. DESCRIPTION of the SITUATION in the AREA of PROPOSED RESPONSE

Location of proposed response CWS P/A and NCA’s proposed assistance will be implemented in the Swabi and Mardan Districts of NWFP. Both members will be working extensively with IDPs in host communities. In Swabi, NCA locations include the Yar Hussain and Shah Mansur camps (with partner PVDP) and WASH assistance to IDPs. staying in schools and with host families.

NCA, with partner TF, will also work in the neighbouring districts of Abottabad and Haripur of NWFP.

Impact on human lives in the area of proposed response The humanitarian needs among IDPs are acute. The Government has requested the humanitarian community to provide assistance during the relief and recovery phases, including food and nutrition assistance, shelter, water, sanitation facilities, primary healthcare and education.

The majority of the displaced persons have taken refuge with family and friends, or in rented spaces. But they are spending much of their disposable income on rent, so there is very little left for food or other daily requirements. They are also living in temperatures of over 40 degrees so the risk of dehydration and disease is extremely high.

Strains on host communities The displaced population is in a vulnerable state, with many people living in makeshift settlements and in the homes of host communities. As the majority of the IDPs are given spaces in the homes by the host communities, therefore every home is over crowded and each host family is bearing the extra economic burden. A major concern is how to provide assistance to the IDPs living outside the camps. Even residing with relatives is difficult as the host areas do not have the capacity to provide adequate shelter, food, and other necessities to the mass influx of IDPs.

Although, local communities have welcomed and hosted a huge number of IDPs, owing to poor public and social infrastructure, as well as meager resources within the host communities, IDPs are facing grave challenges of shelter, shortage of food and non food items, shortage of public health services, suspended social and cognitive growth of their children because of lack of educational facilities; and no alternate livelihood skills to earn for themselves.

Food and basic non-food items People have lost their livelihoods and are living in abject poverty with shortages of food and non food items. In assessments in early May, the staff of NCA partners observed that 90% of the IDPs were without any basic assets like clothes, shoes, utensils, food, mosquito mats, coverlets for sleeping, and food for children between 2-3 years

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 10 Appeal PAK091

old. The food security situation is also very critical among IDPs living in the targeted Union Councils and districts who are without sources of income. The prevailing situation is mostly affecting women and children, especially the infants, who have additional special nutritional needs like milk.

Shelter Shelter conditions of the IDPs in host communities are highly hazardous. The majority of IDP families are sheltered in one small room measuring 12x12 feet with no water and sanitation facilities. The poor shelter and hygiene conditions have caused a massive out break of communicable and non-communicable diseases such as scabies, gastroentitis, malaria, respiratory tract infections, traumatic disorders etc. Owing to shortage of food, the IDPs especially women and children are also severely suffering from anemia and malnutrition. Additionally, the existing primary health care services in the host communities are deficient of human and other resources to meet the reproductive health needs of women.

Livelihoods IDPs in host communities have no livelihood opportunities to live on their own. Almost 90% of the IDPs have been deprived of their livestock assets and economic means. IDPs have a culture of extended families in which there are few earning hands. Male family members are either less skilled or have no opportunity to work in a new environment. The livelihood skills which the IDPs already possess are no longer relevant to their current conditions and new market. Without having their own agriculture and livestock related assets in host communities they can not earn for their families without having alternative livelihood skills. They know farming, livestock management, small scale grocery shop keeping or in some cases, driving. Most have no source of income and they are relying on the money they got from sale of their cattle and other valuables at the time of migration. Some people are working as laborers in fruit and vegetable markets or have set up makeshift stalls to earn their livelihood. Still they are not earning enough to meet food and other necessary needs of their family in a city where they have to pay high rents for housing, utility bills and other expenses.

Education Interestingly, 70% of school going children of IDP families was getting regular education before their displacement to Swabi. However, in their present host communities, neither the families nor the host communities have essential resources to meet the educational needs of internally displaced children. Hence socio-cognitive development and growth of internally displaced children has suspended for an unknown period of time. This has further added to the traumatic disorders of displaced children1.

Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and health In addition to that, those displaced along with the host communities are also facing sanitation problems as the existing sanitation facilities could not cater the need of additional IDPs. The provision of safe drinking water, sanitation facilities, and hygiene kits has, therefore, been identified as a priority by the Government so as to reduce the incidence of water and sanitation related diseases.

The massive influx of the IDPs have caused acute shortage of safe drinking water due to which there are greater risks of water related diseases outbreaks Water must be supplied while efforts are made to provide additional sanitation facilities in the host communities.

The health and hygiene conditions are terrible. The poor hygiene and sanitation conditions in host communities, spontaneous settlement and collective camps has lead to increase in diarrhoea, skin and eye diseases, respiratory infections and malaria. Widespread outbreaks of infectious and communicable diseases such as scabies, respiratory tract infections, malaria and gastroenteritis are reported. Hygiene conditions particularly of women and children are extremely poor resulting in increased water borne disease incidences. These families do not have enough financial resources to cater for their daily needs and neither have alternative sources of income to purchase food and basic commodities for survival.

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 11 Appeal PAK091

Trauma Children, being more vulnerable, are suffering from traumas owing to their exposure to horrific war scenes and loss of their educational opportunities. Many people are traumatized and children especially are suffering from fear, as per findings of NCA and partners on May 10th.

Assessments conducted CWS-P/A’s partners have done initial assessments in the proposed areas of response and findings have been shared amongst the different partners.

NCA/PVDP has done the initial assessment of the IDP camps in Swabi district. NCA team from PVDP/NCA visited Yar Hussain IDPs camp in Swabi on May 10, 2009 and again on May 20th, when PVDP arranged distribution of non-food relief items to IDPs in the camp.

NCA partners involved in WASH interventions are also doing assessments in areas where IDPs are living with host communities in coordination with UNICEF (heading the WASH cluster) and the concerned local Government authorities. These partners have been allocated areas by UNICEF and the Local Government in Mardan, Swabi, Abbottabad and Haripur districts to provide WASH facilities to IDPs living with the host families.

The Pakistan Humanitarian Forum (PHF) of which CWS P/A and NCA are members has also done a consolidated assessment of IDPs.

Security situation in the area of proposed response Overall security conditions of District Swabi have remained stable in the past despite being situated in NWFP province which is a security-risk province of Pakistan. A few international NGOs had been working in the district even before this emergency. INGOs including UN agencies have demonstrated a commitment to work for the recovery and rehabilitation of IDPs. The communication systems such as roads, telephones, electronic media are well in place and fully functional throughout the district.

The organizations which are carrying out relief operations in the district have so far not faced any incidents of terrorism or plundering.

CWS-P/A and NCA regularly coordinates with the relevant District Coordination Office (DCO), Commissioner, Camp Manager and the Emergency Response Unit (ERU) Coordinator to update the security protocol. The Local Authorities at the federal level are also kept in loop for coordinated efforts on security. CWS-P/A and NCA ensures following Travel SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) while doing programmatic interventions. Media, Law Enforcement Agencies, INGOs Security Forums and UNDSS security advices are also used by both CWS/P/A and NCA as the major source of information while designing the security plan for the proposed area of response.

Efforts will be made to remain vigilant and to follow local norms, particularly of the Pukhtoon culture, during the project implementation.

IV. ACT EVALUATION

An external ACT evaluation of the programme under this appeal will be commissioned by the ACT Coordinating Office, as per ACT policy for all appeals over US $5 million. Provision is made in the appeal budget to support this.

CHURCH WORLD SERVICE- PAKISTAN/AFGHANISTAN

The CWS-P/A 12-month project proposed in this appeal includes 6 main components of relief and recovery assistance to conflict IDPs in Swabi and Mardan Districts of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP): 1. Food and Non-food relief items 2. Livelihoods 3. Education 4. Health 5. Advocacy 6. Quality and accountability Capacity Development (Sphere and HAP)

I. IMPLEMENTING PARTNER INFORMATION

CWS-P/A will be implementing the food and NFRI, livelihoods, health and advocacy components of the project with and through five implementing partner organisations, while its own staff will be directly implementing most of the health component and the quality and accountability capacity development component.

CWS P/A implementing partners

a) SUNGI Development Foundation emerged in 1989 as a non-profit and non-governmental (NGO) public interest organization to: a) work for the rights of deprived and marginalized communities; b) integrate them into mainstream development process; c) actively advocate their livelihood and human rights; and d) to bring about the much needed policy and institutional changes in the state structures. The growing realization that top-down policy-making was marginalizing communities and contributed to the emergence of rights-based NGOs. At the same time, there was a need to address gender issues in a conservative society, as well as to address the severe ecological degradation in the area.

Sungi has a vast experience in providing humanitarian aid to Balakot during the 1992 Flood and Flash Floods, earthquake 2004, heavy rain and snow fall of 2005 in NWFP, Flood 2005 in D.I.Khan, earthquake 2005 in NWFP and AJK, and the 2008 earthquake in Balochistan. Sungi had also been vigilant on the human crisis of IDPs who were displaced as a result of counter terrorism against militants of FATA and PATA area. With financial support from Oxfam Novib two successful phases of relief assistance have been completed.

II. TARGET LOCATIONS AND BENEFICIARIES

Location for CWS P/A proposed response

The proposed recovery and rehabilitation response is planned to be carried out in the same two districts that were also targeted for distribution of food and NFRIs in the first phase of response. The proposed location is;

- Swabi District: 13 Union Councils (UCs) as indicated in Table 4. - Mardan District: two tehsils (Mardan and Takht Bhai)), as indicated in Table 52

The targeted UCs are located in the north of District Swabi and are close to bordering areas of District Buner and Mardan from where the majority of the IDPs were displaced they felt convenient to get sheltered in these communities. These UCs are thickly populated with clustered housings. The public infrastructure related to health, education etc. exist in these areas yet these public health and education facilities are already seriously deficient of human and technical resources to meet the needs of the native population. The already dilapidated and deficient social and public infrastructure cannot cater to the needs of the heavy influx of IDPs in these areas.

Since, majority of the relief and rehabilitation agencies are focusing on camps which are located far away from these target host communities, very few organizations have made efforts to provide food items to IDPs in these

2 Source: Sungi Foundation Assessment Report

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 15 Appeal PAK091

communities. Besides food-items, that too for only a small portion of IDPs, no other relief interventions have been undertaken by any government or non government agency at time of writing.

The project interventions will also cater to two tehsils (Mardan and Takht Bhai) of Mardan district (Sungi assessment report) where approximately 5,765 IDP families are located.

Needs Assessment and Targeting Process After the call for assistance by the Government of Pakistan, CWS-P/A collected the data of the IDPs of various Union Councils of the District Swabi & Mardan, through its IPs. CWS-P/A’s partner organizations have been working in the target area for quite some time. They have conducted a rapid assessment of IDPs in selected host communities and a camp. The rapid assessment included semi-structured interviews of Executive District Officer- Community Development (EDO-CD), officials of IDPs Registration Points, representatives of local NGOs, and Focused Group Discussions (FGDs) with IDPs (both male & female). Besides this, a detailed door-to-door survey was also conducted to enlist number of IDPs in host families, and to assess their issues and needs. Checklists and formats were developed to facilitate the data collection. The data collected through different sources was then triangulated to prepare an assessment report to serve the basis for this appeal. The team also gathered information

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 16 Appeal PAK091

from the secondary data sources such as OCHA updates, coordination meeting and District Census Reports (DCRs) of the target localities.

The assessment has revealed that the issues of IDPs are inter-related, be it of food, shelter, health, education or livelihood. To address this holistically, IDP Support Groups would be formed to take lead in relief and recovery interventions. The IDP Support Groups’ involvement in whole recovery process would help in integration of multi-sectoral responses. Prior to project implementation, a framework for ensuring integration and coherence of different sectoral responses would also be developed which would serve as monitoring tool for the project.

The target beneficiaries are identified with the help of locally selected community groups. The socio economic status of these beneficiaries is verified through random visits. These identified persons are then issued tokens/ coupons etc to receive different relief items. The project team frequently monitors the disbursement mechanism and the utility of those relief items by the target beneficiaries.

Criteria for the selection

• IDPs displaced by the recent conflict situation in Swabi in FATP • Priority focus on IDPs in host communities (rather than in camps). The majority of the IDPs are living in the host communities where, owing to the focus of donors and relief organizations attentions being on camps, their needs are great. • Most vulnerable groups with special attention given to destitute and women headed house holds, orphans and elderly people

• CWS-P/A will apply the Humanitarian Accountability Partnership (HAP) principles of impartiality, neutrality and equity. This approach will ensure an even and equal distribution of relief items to all needy households, thus minimizing the risk of conflicts between households, tribes, and ethnic groups.

• “Do-No-Harm” principle will be considered within a context of respect for human rights, prevention of stigma and discrimination as well as addressing gender-specific needs and gaps.

Most of the target beneficiaries are IDPs in host communities and conscious efforts will be made to identify most vulnerable amongst them. The selection of beneficiaries of Quality and Accountability component is different from that in other components. The detailed selection criteria is mentioned in the Implementation Plan of the Quality and Accountability section.

Number of Beneficiaries by programme component The situation is highly fluid and accurate numbers of IDPs and returnees difficult to obtain. Therefore the numbers of targeted beneficiaries for the different types of assistance are estimated based on assessments to date and with the understanding that close monitoring, coordination and targeting will be required closer to implementation.

The overall IDP and host community target population figures are given in detail in Table 4 above (approximately 30,200 IDPs and host population of 455,000 in Swabi District, and 5,765 families in Mardan District- see Table 5 above).

The target beneficiaries and their corresponding programmatic components are summarised in Table 6 below.

Total targeted for each component is estimated with the assumption that there will be some overlap in certain families or individuals benefitting from more than one type of assistance, according to verified needs.

ACTIONS TO DATE CWS-P/A initiated its Phase I response for conflict affected IDPs in Swabi and Mardan district, as proposed under the ACT Preliminary Appeal along with Norwegian Church Aid. The time frame for this first phase of implementation is for a maximum of two months starting from May 09. CWS-P/A has distributed food packages to 600 IDPs families in district Swabi. The amount for 300 food packages is already pledged by Canadian Food Grain Bank (CFGB). Furthermore, shelter kits have been distributed to 230 families of IDPs in district Swabi and Mardan. CWS-P/A undertook the implementation through its partner organizations; CHIP, SSEWA-Pak and Sungi Foundation.

CWS-P/A initiated its health intervention for IDPs at the start of April 09, with staff running a Mobile Health Unit (MHU) catering to the affected IDPs in the districts of Mansehra and Abbottabad. As of June 4th, 450 IDP patients have been given medical treatment with the provision of appropriate medicines. CWS-P/A has also conducted health awareness sessions and developed referral linkages for natal care of ante-natal females. Children under 5 years of age were also vaccinated by the MHU against common diseases.

CWS-P/A accomplished another major activity in the first phase as it collaborated with Strengthening Participatory Organization (SPO) and Sungi Development Foundation to organize a seminar “Voices of IDP” on May 27, 2009 with the representatives of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The objective of the seminar was to gather civil society actors to reflect upon the growing conflict situation in country especially in NWFP, sharing of IDPs stories and experiences, discuss issues and problems of IDPs and their possible solution, and increase the coordination among the organizations working for IDPs. Further, political and economic implications of growing number of IDPs and government ability to manage the problem also came under discussion. The seminar concluded on putting forward the recommendations including both long term rehabilitation and short-term relief support plans.

This now elaborated and scaled-up version of the CWS appeal programme proposes continued relief assistance, as well as support for recovery.

Sphere Minimum Standards will be the guiding touchstone while providing assistance in emergencies to ensure accountability, transparency and quality management in all programs.

III. PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION

CHIP: Overall implementation strategy: community mobilisation and participation

Around 26 IDP Support Groups will be formed in the targeted host communities to help in identifying beneficiaries for project interventions implemented by CHIP. The activities including food and non-food relief items, livelihood and capacity building will be done through participatory approach by getting facilitation from IDP Support Groups. They will also facilitate smooth communication among other tiers and stakeholders of the

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 19 Appeal PAK091

project. The IDP Support Groups will operate with a cluster of about 100 IDP families. The Community Based Organizations (CBOs) will ensure smooth implementation of project interventions at UC level or with a cluster of 2-3 IDP Support Groups. The CBOs will work closely with the IDP Support Groups which will eventually increase synergies between host community and IDP families.

Joint Monthly Meetings of IDPs Support Groups and Local CBOs ( 5 Communities for 12 Months) Quarterly Project Review and Planning Meetings Among IDP Support Groups, CBOs, SBRC and Project Staff

RELIEF: Food and NFRIs

Objective: To alleviate suffering and increase the resilience of conflict-affected IDPs in Swabi & Mardan districts through providing emergency food, shelter and non-food relief items to IDPs and facilitating their mobilization and participation in responding to the situation over the initial 3 months of response.

Activities: Phase I ƒ Provide one month relief ration packages (food and NFRI) to 600 families in Swabi District (COMPLETED) ƒ Provide shelter kits to 230 families in Swabi and Mardan Districts (COMPLETED) ƒ Provide 916 blankets to 916 individuals in Swabi and Mardan Districts (COMPLETED)

Phase II ƒ Provide three (3) months basic food rations to 4,500 IDP families (13,500 packages) in Swabi and Mardan Districts ƒ Formation of 26 IDP Support Groups in 13 host communities/ Union Councils (UCs) ƒ Establish networking among IDP Support Groups and partner CBOs ƒ Provide kitchen utensils (Non Food Items) to 2,000 IDP families ƒ Provide bedding (2 mattresses per family) to 1,000 IDP families

Implementation Strategy: The implementation of immediate relief will be done by CWS-P/A along with partners Sungi, SSEWA-Pak and CHIP. Facilitation will be provided to establish and/or strengthen the local community institutions to create a congenial and conducive environment for the IDPs’ relief and rehabilitation interventions. Since the beneficiaries are residing with host communities, the distribution of relief items will be provided according to the actual and specific needs of the host families. For example, some families already have kitchen utensils.

The affected target community will be given food packages as immediate relief. The package composition is made keeping in view the Sphere Common Standards i.e. it should meet the nutritional requirement of 2,100 Kcal

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 20 Appeal PAK091

(kilocalories) per person per day, and will be sufficient for one month for an average family of 6 persons. The food package distributed during the first phase of response was of slightly different composition, and has now been adjusted to adhere to WFP standard food package composition.

The immediate relief package comprises:

CWS-P/A is also providing Non-Food Relief Items (NFRIs) to the conflict affected IDPs families in district Swabi and Mardan. These NFRIs include bedding (mattresses), kitchen utensils set and soap (Safeguard) and one match box (as mentioned in Table 7) along with the food rations.

Distribution Mechanism for Food Items The food items will be distributed directly to IDPs in the host communities. Food distribution points will be set-up in each community within walking distance from IDPs’ temporary host locations. Prior to food distribution, a detailed survey will be carried out to register the potential beneficiary IDPs for the food program. During the survey and beneficiary identification process, IDP activists would also be identified to facilitate selection of beneficiaries according to the criteria as well as smooth distribution of food items. Tokens will be distributed to registered beneficiaries one day before the distribution to help ensure the right persons receive assistance and to avoid duplication of monthly rations received.

The identified IDP activists will be involved in the distribution of food items and non food items that would help in encouraging women headed IDP families and other vulnerable IDP groups to receive the food items with ease.

Exit Strategy: The project will aim to link of this immediate relief phase with the early recovery assistance in the later stage. However, this depends upon the future situation and the extension in stay of the IDPs.

LIVELIHOODS

Objective: To contribute towards improving the livelihood recovery potential for 500 conflict-affected male and over 400 female IDPs by providing them with opportunities to enhance vocational skills and income earning opportunities

Activities: a) Women Friendly Spaces ƒ Formation of 4 Women Friendly Spaces (WFSs) increasing women’s access to craft-making skills and income earning opportunities and enhancing their psychosocial well-being. ƒ Conduct gender sessions for female IDPs ƒ Provision of 400 craft production toolkits for female IDPs ƒ Provision of sewing machines for 400 female IDPs ƒ Conduct 20 training sessions on skill enhancement (embroidery and stitching etc) including hiring of a consultant trainer in WFSs b) Vocational Training Centers (Female) ƒ Formation of groups for vocational trainings ƒ Conduct community meetings ƒ Establishment of 8 Vocational Training-cum-Production Centers for 400 female IDPs ƒ Provision of sewing machines for 400 IDPs females ƒ Provision of toolkits for 400 IDPs females ƒ Facilitation of market linkages

c) Vocational Training Centers (Male) ƒ Establishment and running of 8 equipped Vocational Training Centers-Males (building construction trade related skills) for 500 male IDPs ƒ Provision of 500 toolkits with raw materials ƒ Hiring of 24 teachers for eight male VTC centers (3 teachers per centre) ƒ Provision of tools for training graduates

Implementation Strategy: This intervention will be managed by CWS-P/A’s partners CHIP and Sungi.

Women Friendly Spaces The Women Friendly Spaces (WFSs) will be established to provide space for women to come together for organized activities. The WFS’s will be established at four different locations, targeting approximately 400

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 22 Appeal PAK091

women. Skills will be identified of the women of IDP families visiting Women Friendly Spaces. On the basis of skills identified, the groups will be formed.

The women will also share information on issues like health, advocacy, education, human rights, skills, marketing, violence, reproductive health, and gender specific matters identified by the community females.

A Consultant will be hired for conducting skill training. The Consultant will design specific trainings on craft promotion skills, for these groups. The trainings will be including stitching, embroidery etc. Toolkits and raw material will be provided to 400 trainees. On completion of training, sewing machines will be provided to each trainee to support their livelihood. In addition, the intervention will enhance their psycho-social well-being

Vocational Training Centers (VTCs) The rent for female Vocational Training Center has been provided for in the budget while the premises for the male VTCs will be contributed by the local host community based organization (CBO) which is registered under the Social Welfare Act.

In order to ensure sustainability of livelihood related interventions, the Vocational Training Centers (VTCs) will be housed and hosted by local CBOs and IDP Support Groups.

Keeping in view the gender-segregated culture of the area, eight separate Vocational Training Centers for women will be established. The project will employ some of the few trained females (8 female trainers are charged in the budget) already identified in the target community, for imparting training to other females in cutting, stitching and basic embroidery skills.

Moreover, efforts will be made to link these established training centers with the local market for seeking business opportunities for women in embroidery. For facilitating market linkages for the women’s vocational training cum income generation centers, the local CBO and the IDP Support Group will take initiatives for tapping the job orders from local and adjacent communities. The 400 female beneficiaries will be provided sewing machines as a support to their earning of income after the completion of training session.

Eight (8) fully equipped training centers for 500 male IDPs in the target area will be established, offering courses on construction trade related skills (plumbing, masonry, carpentry, electrician, welding etc). These training topics are identified keeping in view of the demand for these skills in the job market, especially in the disaster stricken areas. The trained and qualified graduates will also be provided with a toolkit to carry out their work assignments.

The trained men and women entrepreneurs will sell the products made by these centers in the local and main market of Swabi. The project staff will also facilitate market linkages through participation of trained women in local and national exhibitions and other events.

Exit Strategy: The Vocational Training Centers (VTCs) established for men and women will be run by the local community based organizations. The local CBOs and the IDP Support Groups will be responsible for the management of these training centers. After the phase out of the project, the vocational training centers will be formally handed over to the CBOs which will mobilize resources internally as well as through nominal fee from the trainees to meet the operational cost.

The local CBOs who would be contributing in the project through building rent for the men’s Vocational Training Centers as well as management of these centers, would continue to run the VTCs after phase out of the project. The capital assets such as tools and equipments for training would be handed over to the local host CBO who would ensure the sustainability of these centers.

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 23 Appeal PAK091

As the women’s Vocational Training Centers have sewing machines as their main capital asset, these would be handed over to IDP Support Group of women who either continue running the centers for IDP women, if the IDPs are not relocated to their native cities even after phase out of the project. In case the IDPs are relocated to their native districts then the sewing machines would be given away among the deserving trained women IDPs who may run their own micro-enterprises in their native towns after the relocation.

EDUCATION

Objectives: • To provide increased access for 4,000 IDP children (male/female) to primary school through the establishment of 26 Community Schools in 13 UC host communities and 16 transitional schools in host communities, as well as livelihood opportunities for 84 IDP women teachers in Swabi District. ƒ To enhance partner staff and teachers’ skills and capacity to provide educational support to IDP children

Activities: ƒ Signing of MoU with the District Government ƒ Refurbishment of selected government schools (includes repairs, white wash, provision of required furniture and equipment as needed to host government schools where IDPs would attend evening classes) ƒ Establishment of 16 transitional schools ƒ Hiring of 84 male & female IDPs as teachers provided with a stipend for 12 months ƒ Conduct 4 Teachers Training workshops on Child-Centered Teaching Methodologies ƒ Provision of schools kits containing books & stationary, uniform and shoes to 4,000 students from IDP families ƒ Conduct 150 Recreational events in 26 community schools ƒ Conduct hygiene sessions in schools

Implementation Strategy: The education interventions will be undertaken by our partners CHIP and Sungi. Realizing the issue of summer vacation of two months (mid June-mid August 2009) in the schools located in the host communities, as well as overcrowded classes in the existing government schools in morning times, the project will set-up 26 community schools in identified government schools with classes held in separate evening shifts to provide education for displaced children. The existing educational facilities, located in 13 host communities, will be strengthened or refurbished, and an additional 16 transitional schools will be set up to cope with the influx of IDP children who need to be schooled. Overall, 4000 children will be supported.

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 24 Appeal PAK091

The interventions related to education and livelihood, have been planned in the host communities of district Swabi. The host communities have been selected on the basis of number of IDP families residing in specific location, the receptiveness of both the host communities and IDP families, assurance of support from the local community based organization and level of vulnerabilities of IDPs in the host communities. CWS-P/A’s partner organization (CHIP) has experience in developing physical and social infrastructure. It has also successfully experimented on developing inclusive infrastructure related to water, sanitation and education. CHIP will manage the refurbishment of schools through involving IDPs already skilled as mason, electrician, painter, carpenter etc. In this way the skilled IDPs would have livelihood opportunity in schools refurbishment.

84 teachers will be hired from amongst the IDPs families for these multi-shift community schools, providing a livelihood opportunity for IDP families while also enabling them to serve their communities.

The 4,000 selected students will be provided with the basic school kit required- books, stationary, a uniform and shoes- to be able to participate fully at school.

Recreational activities will also be organized in these community schools to enhance the interest of children in schools as well as help in minimizing the depression and anxiety created through the trauma of war experiences and subsequent displacement.

Exit Strategy: After completion of the project, these internally displaced children studying in community schools will be mainstreamed into the same schools or nearby schools to help them continue their education. The project (through CWS-P/A partners) will establish strong links with the District Education Department to ensure smooth mainstreaming of the internally displaced children in their next classes once the project time frame is over and if their stay in the host community is prolonged for more than one year. CWS-P/A will adhere to the “Do-No-Harm” policy by maintaining a balance in managing the children of host community and those belonging to IDPs families. It will also ensure indiscrimination among the students representing different social classes.

Existing health committees will be identified and re-reorganized and the health committees formed by other organizations working on health in the targeted area will be involved through community mobilisers for better service delivery to the community.

Please see Table 7 above for number and desegregation of health beneficiaries (host population and IDPs).

The relevant stakeholders (District Health Department, WHO, UNICEF, UNHCR, UNFPA, community and other organizations working on health in the target area) will be kept in the loop and strong links will be ensured for

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 26 Appeal PAK091

better service delivery. Prior MoUs will be signed with the relevant agencies to start the health services in the target Union Councils.

Hiring of competent project staff will be ensured and code of conduct about issues/ concerns regarding HIV & AIDS, TB, Malaria, Gender etc will be disseminated at the time of staff orientation. The supply chain will be maintained with strong logistical support to ensure smooth implementation of project activities at the field level. The project staff will collaborate with the relevant stakeholders in the health sector to create synergy for a larger impact.

Sheikh Shahzad Camp Shower Units The project will install 40 Shower Units in the identified Sheikh Shehzad Camp housing 1,354 registered families. This intervention will be outsourced to RH-AID (Rights and Health Alliance for Integrated Development) through an agreement with CWS P/A. Keeping in view the cultural norms of the IDP and host community, there will be separate shower units for women and children; each Shower Unit consists of four individual shower cabins, surrounded by a boundary wall for maximum privacy.

TABLE 9

Sheikh Shahzad Camp Profile S.No Description Camp Population / or number 1 Total Families 1,354

2 Total number of Peoples 8,065 3 Male 1,755 4 Female 1,874 5 Pregnant Women 38 6 Girls Under 15 Years 2,150 7 Boys Under 15 Years 2,002 8 Water Tank (400-500 Gallons each) 36 9 Toilets 100 10 Washing Pad 45 11 Sweeper 12

Considering the total population of women, girls, men and boys, if each person takes shower daily and 50 people use one cabin each day it is calculated that a minimum of 40 community shower units will be needed.

Each shower unit will consist of the following: • Boring for water supply (it may be 1 borehole for two showers depending on the situation on ground) • Electric water pump • 4 shower cabins (4x4 feet each) made of Bamboo and wood with internal pan flex/plastic sheet lining • 500 liter overhead water tank • Independent soak pit (approx. 10 feet deep and 6 feet in diameter) with cement slab/plaster on the top • Cement floor of shower units and 4 inch drainage pipes to the soak pit

The camps have been supplied with electricity and the pumps will be connected to these lines with the consent of the camp management.

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 27 Appeal PAK091

To ensure privacy each shower unit will have a 6 feet high boundary wall made of bamboo frame and pan flex /plastic sheet. This will enhance the use of showers by the women who otherwise cant carry water from a distance and don’t use the public bathing areas built next to the toilets.

CWS-P/A staff supervised by the management team is responsible for the implementation of the project in collaboration with all the relevant stake holders and Implementing Partners working in the health sector and other cross-cutting sectors to create synergies for a greater impact.

Exit strategy: Funding will be sought for longer term rehabilitation and development interventions for programs like Primary Health Care, TB DOTS, and HIV & AIDS to strengthen the local health structure. The need for assistance in the local health structure will also be identified by the assessment of health facilities in the conflict affected areas with the consultation of District Health departments, lead health agencies and community of the conflict affected areas.

There is possibility of having the military operation started in Shangla, and this will make the IDPs to move down to Mansehra district. The project is envisioning launch of some health interventions in the Mansehra district4.

The project will continue to assist the IDPs as long as the communities are displaced and reasonable funding sources are available. In case of repatriation of IDPs, the project will participate in the medical screening of the IDPs before they repatriate, and will ensure that repatriating community gets follow up health assistance. With the consultation of the District Health Department, all the medicines and other medical supplies of the project will be formally handed over to the health facilities supported by CWS-P/A. Linkages of the Health Committees will also be developed with the local health offices so that the community can benefit best from the available resources. Capacity building of the CWS-P/A project and government health staff working at the government health facilities is also part of CWS-P/A exit strategy. During the project period, trainings on Disease Early Warning System (DEWS), TB-DOTS and ultrasonography (situational-need based) etc will increase the capacity of the CWS-P/A project as well as of the government health staff and the impact would continue even if CWS-P/A exits.

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 29 Appeal PAK091

After selection of suitable site/ location, a Complaint Center will be established. The location will be preferably in Mardan district due to the heavy influx of IDPs in that district. The primary activity will be receiving and processing complaints and following them up till the complaint is resolved. The Center will, particularly, be made women friendly, so that their rights to security, safety, dignity and relief services can be guarded. The complaints will be received by the Center staff who will also collect them personally from the complainants. Female staff will interact with the female IDPs. The complaints will then be forwarded to the relevant organizations and follow up will be made to trail the progress.

IEC material detailing role, responsibility and support provided by the center will be produced and will be mass distributed among the stakeholders, especially conflict affected IDPs.

The Complaint Center will be staffed with a Project Coordinator (1) and the Complaint Officers (4). The details are mentioned in the Budget Notes, attached as an appendix.

The project will develop a comprehensive database for managing information from the Complaint Center. Training will be provided to staff on use of the database software (SPSS).

A bi-monthly newsletter will be published and circulated among targeted stakeholders highlighting findings, success stories, human interest stories and issues related to conflict affected IDPs.

Two seminars will be organized for a wider audience, on problems faced by the IDPs and their possible solutions. The Center will also use local media for lobbying on behalf of the IDPs regarding specific complaints.

A media campaign will be conducted to raise awareness amongst various stakeholders about IDPs and their concerns, and to broadcast public service messages for IDPs. Most of the IDPs of the conflict affected areas are suffering some form of trauma. Some are perceived be the general public as terrorists, due to the history of terrorist activities attached to this community in the recent past.

This campaign includes, the organizing of two media sessions to highlight the general trends of registered complaints and to bring those to the attention of different authorities. Three comprehensive articles will be published in the leading newspapers detailing the data recorded from the complaint center.

Understanding of the IDPs Issues and concerns, and their image with the wider public will be supported through different image building messages and panel discussions. Sungi and CWS-P/A will use Power Radio 99 FM for public broadcasting and information dissemination to a the wider public. It has a broad repertoire of professionals fluent in several languages, and is also responsible for airing more than 500 programs in these diverse languages.

CWS-P/A will develop public service radio messages for the IDPs, encompassing a wide range of topics like importance of hygiene, maternal health, and importance of education.

Research and documentation: CWS-P/A has 10 years of experience in conducting research, including on the role of minorities in the development of Pakistan, human rights issues, socio-economic issues in Afghanistan, gender and health issues. During the earthquake program in 2006, the organization conducted research with partners on advocacy and rights issues of the earthquake affected people and the role of government organisations like Earthquake Reconstruction & Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA) along with others involved in compensation.

CWS-P/A will conduct a comprehensive piece of research on key issues related to conflict affected IDPs and the whole dynamics of migration and security. Afterwards it will be distributed among the stakeholders including academia, local/ international organizations working in disaster/ emergency situation and also the organization working on IDPs. This intervention will create a knowledge base for mass utilization and hence, will benefit stakeholders addressing the issues.

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 30 Appeal PAK091

The project includes end of project learning publication to document the lessons from running a Complaints Center in such unique emergency situation. It will also reflect the type and nature of complaints and the implications and constraints faced in addressing these complaints. The publication will help in devising the improving mechanism as the project will be followed by a comprehensive evaluation. The publication will also be backed up by a documentary targeting the wider audience from the donor community as well as the local stakeholders to enhance the effectiveness of such interventions in future.

Implementation roles and management The advocacy component will be implemented jointly by CWS-P/A along with its partners Bedari and Sungi. The former partner will be managing the Complaint Center, while the latter will contribute in activities related to media campaigns. CWS-P/A will be responsible for activities in Research & Documentation, as well as in media campaign.

Signing of agreements with the partner organizations will be done detailing their interventions, implementation planning, coordination mechanism, progress and financial reporting.

Exit Strategy A detailed exit strategy of the project will be rolled out in the last quarter of the project. The activities for phasing out will include banners, posters, community meetings, advertising through newspapers and radio. It will also explain the criteria of addressing the pending applications in the Complaint Center, and will facilitate the complainants on how to make a follow up of the outstanding complaints.

QUALITY & ACCOUNTABILITY- SPHERE AND HAP CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT

Objectives: ƒ To improve the Quality and Accountability of humanitarian agencies to their beneficiaries by enhancing knowledge, skills and capacity of 540 humanitarian relief and development practitioners in Sphere and HAP through capacity building trainings and material dissemination ƒ To provide additional learning support to relevant agencies to meet Sphere and HAP standards at national level through advisory services ƒ To disseminate the project experience and learning from practice more widely through sharing with the participating organizations, Sphere and HAP-I and ACT Alliance

Activities: ƒ Conduct Sphere/ HAP capacity building workshops and training sessions for 460 humanitarian workers ƒ Develop and disseminate documents & publications (4,000) for Quality and Accountability ƒ Provide support to relevant aid agencies to meet Sphere standards through advising, training and coaching individuals who have been identified as focal persons within organization on Sphere, and how to conduct assessment and design monitoring and evaluation systems using Sphere standards and indicators, for their own organizational level. ƒ Conduct a seminar for 80 humanitarian workers to raise awareness regarding the significance of Quality Management and Accountability to beneficiaries ƒ Develop coordination and networking with line departments and humanitarian agencies • Regular communication with Sphere Project and HAP Offices, Geneva. It aims to provide current news/information (like case studies on best practices) regarding progress and situation to Sphere Project Office in Geneva for periodic newsletter. ƒ Monitoring visits to see the effectiveness of the capacity building process

Implementation Strategy: This intervention will be managed and directly implemented by CWS-P/A staff. The organization will conduct 35 training workshops for 460 humanitarian workers working in current crises and emergency for IDPs keeping in view the changing needs on the ground. Comprehensive tools and procedures of Sphere Capacity Development will be used during workshops on Sphere briefing and orientation; Monitoring & Evaluation; Rapid Assessment & Coordination; and Lesson Learnt workshops. There will be a range of workshops to be covered under this intervention. All these 460 humanitarian workers will also be the recipients of CWS-P/A’s various publications on Sphere, HAP and Quality Management and Accountability. Sphere publications will also be provided to those organizations who are not able to receive trainings so that they could at least benefit from Sphere material to enhance their learning to use it.

Sphere is about commitment to quality and accountability in humanitarian assistance. Based on our experience, the organizations committed to Q&A nominate their staff for Sphere training. However, when we receive the nominations, we do pay attention to the following, before accepting the nominees:

ƒ that the organization has a demonstrated experience in disaster response: ƒ that the nature of job and responsibilities of the nominated staff are related with humanitarian assistance, and will be in a position to apply Sphere practically. ƒ that the organization gives an informed commitment with the nomination to use the expertise of the nominees in applying Sphere

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 32 Appeal PAK091

To utilize the expertise of these organizations and the professionals, the CWS-P/A Sphere Focal Point Pakistan will strengthen the network of Sphere practitioners and trainers from these organizations. This core group of professionals and their organizations will be encouraged to get involved in Sphere Focal Point Project activities in Pakistan and plan and organise joint events. CWS-P/A will coordinate and facilitate the use of their expertise in terms of involving them for joint assessment, M&E, field-based support and training.

Coordination and Networking links will be established with other ‘Quality and Accountability’ initiatives such as Humanitarian Accountability Partnership-International (HAP-I), INEE, and with the Governmental bodies, contributing towards essential knowledge development in local context.

The project will disseminate Sphere material in local language during trainings. To increase the understanding of the local community, the training material has already been developed by CWS-P/A in different local languages (Pushto, Dari etc). The published material (leaflets, booklets and brochures) will be used as awareness raising tools.

A development framework will be designed based on Sphere Minimum Standards. Its focus will be on having standards for long term development approaches, including those applied in the recovery and rehabilitation phases of this response. It has always been debate and discussion during Sphere training workshops, coordination meetings with NGOs, UN and INGOs and implementing process of Sphere Minimum Standards that as Sphere is very useful to maintain quality of work so how can it be used in development projects. The Humanitarian Charter and the Minimum Standards contribute to an operational framework for accountability is based on the principles and provisions of international humanitarian law and international human rights law. So this framework of quality and accountability will include quality standards, principles, policies, key success indicators, guidelines, training and other capacity-building approaches that are generally used in development projects. The framework will include measurable performance indicators. It will give a direction how it can be used in disaster preparedness, DRR, humanitarian advocacy and development related interventions.

The framework will be used in the phase of recovery/ rehabilitation and reconstruction. As Sphere stops at crisis phase of project implementation, this framework will help agencies to continue effective use of Sphere Minimum Standards till the end of rehabilitation phase.

The project will be in regular communication with the Sphere Project Office and HAP Office’s in Geneva and will provide case studies on best practices for publication in the periodic newsletter.

Being Sphere focal agency, a regular technical support to relevant agencies will also be ensured at national level during the project implementation period

Exit Strategy: This new phase of the Sphere Focal Point (SFP) initiative is a continuity of activities such as representation, training, technical support, advocacy and the design of tools. SFP is already providing consultancy services to humanitarian agencies to improve their quality and accountability mechanisms to assess whether their work is as per Sphere Minimum Standards or not. It will be ensured through regular monitoring visits to see whether the selected projects are in compliance with Sphere standards.

Sphere/ HAP workshops have an application process that involved participants providing a completed application form listing prior experience with Sphere/HAP and an action plan for using Sphere/providing Sphere/HAP training in the future. Candidates will be asked to provide a letter of support from their manager to ensure they have permission to attend the training and the support to enable them to use what they have learned. Sphere/HAP team would conduct some field visits to understand how to apply Sphere/HAP in the specific Pakistani contexts.

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 33 Appeal PAK091

Monitoring visits will also be conducted to see that all the documents developed during workshops have been effectively incorporated into the quality management system of each organization/agency

Technical support for monitoring and evaluation at the organizational level and follow-up for Sphere orientation/ ToT graduates would be another initiative to further strengthening the capacity of them in specific area. Finally, capturing and sharing more concrete lessons learned would be helpful in advocacy and training activities.

To further promote and take a necessary “step forward” in quality and accountability in Pakistan, CWS-P/A would create and build the capacity of a small team of quality and accountability (Q&A) representatives with Sphere/ HAP knowledge within CWS-P/A. Having a small team of with Q&A expertise that meet regularly will make the SFP/HFP project less dependent on one individual and improve capacity for immediate Q&A response in a disaster situation.

V. MONITORING, REPORTING & EVALUATIONS

Monitoring procedures During implementation of the project, regular monitoring5 will be undertaken to check process, progress and performance of the proposed interventions. A detail list of qualitative and quantitative indicators will be used to ensure adequate compliance of the interventions. Keeping in view the indicators, Performance Measurement Plan (PMP) will be developed. Each indicator will be defined and explained. Sources and methods of data will be defined and data will be collected on pre-defined frequency. M&E team will collect and analyze data for each indicator following a checklist. Indicators will be tracked against specified targets.

Monitoring will also involve reviewing and planning of work on a regular basis, assessing whether activities are carried out as planned (including beneficiary selection), identifying and dealing with problems during implementation. Emphasis will be given to ensure application of Sphere standards and ACT Code of Conduct during the monitoring process. Monitoring of all planned project activities by the project staff will result in preparation of the consolidated reports, to be shared with all the stakeholders.

Both quantitative and qualitative methods will be used in designing the monitoring formats. The Do-No-Harm principles will be considered while designing the monitoring tools.

In addition, CWS-P/A’s project staff will ensure documentation, photographs, and video clips to show the overall process. Case studies will be developed by CWS-P/A staff to gain additional understanding of the impact of the project (positive and negative). Additionally, people’s living conditions will be monitored through frequent interviews and direct observations.

Reports will be compiled by the Disaster Management Programme (DMP) team at Islamabad with support from CWS-P/A’s Programme Development Unit (PDU). These reports will then be sent to the senior management for programmatic review and will afterwards be sent to ACT CO according to the ACT appeal reporting schedule.

II. DETAILS OF THE EMERGENCY

Pakistan Army’s operation against Taliban militants in Bajaur and Swat resulted in mass displacement from conflict zone. Heavy shelling, bombardment and continual cross fire in the area compelled civilians to escape from their villages. IDPs in hundreds and thousands moved to safer districts of NWFP like Swabi, Peshawar, Nowshera, Dir Upper, Charsadda, Buner, Kohat, Dir Lower, Mardan etc. IDPs came into these districts empty handed and faced acute difficulties to manage basic necessities for their very survival. These IDPs are now residing either in different camps arranged by the government with the facilitation of INGOs/ NGOs, host families or in a rented houses. Most responding agencies focused on camps for assistance and thus ignoring IDPs living in rented houses and with the host families.

The recent violence has displaced an estimated 330,000 individuals from Buner District to adjacent Mardan, Swabi and Charsadda districts6. The majority of those worst affected are children, who have witnessed violence, experienced displacement, and faced interruptions to education and health services. The displaced people have minimal resources and require safe drinking water, clothing, food, shelter and health care.

As of May 13, 2009, a total of 185,343 displaced families (1,271,625 individuals) have been registered. This includes 157,855 families (1,081,819 individuals) registered off camp, and 27,488 families (189,806 individuals) registered in 22 camps (11 old and 11 new) in 8 districts (Peshawar, Mardan, Swabi, Malakand, Nowshera, Charsadda, Kohat, Bajaour) of the province. The Social Welfare Department with assistance of UNHCR is carrying out registration process of all the IDPs living outside camps with families and friends. The position of IDPs reported by the Provincial Relief Commissionerate, Government of NWFP is as follows:.7

Total 157,855 1,081,819 27,488 189,806

A total of 22 registration points have been established which includes 15 registration points in district Mardan and 7 in district Swabi. Each registration point has 15-20 registration counters including separate counter for females and special persons8.

There are appalling health conditions in the areas stormed by IDPs. The number of diarrhea cases in Jalozai camp has remained high. The main reason for the increases in cases is congestion in the camps and unhygienic practices9.

ACTIONS TO DATE, AND EMERGENCY NEEDS: NCA is coordinating with partners to assess the immediate needs of the IDPs based in Mardan and Swabi districts.

The current capacity and emerging gaps, as estimated by the UN in its Coordination Meeting on 8 May 2009 are as follows:10

Clusters Ready to assist (Beneficiary) Gap Comments (Beneficiary) Shelter and NFI 300,000 500,000 On off distribution of NFI CCCM 240,000 0 Camps can be established Protection 800,000 0 Registration only WASH 135,000 665,000 6 months Health 125,000 675,000 Only medicines, 6 months Nutrition 100,000 700,000 Education 250,000 159,000 160,000 children in school going age group Food 250,000 550,000 Early Recovery 0 800,000 Livelihood etc.

Social Welfare Department (SWD) NWFP has deployed registration teams in Mardan, Swabi and Charsadda since last week. Eight registration centers are being established (five in Mardan district and three in Swabi district) which will provide daily updates to SWD/UNHCR on registration.

UNHCR has made arrangements to accommodate 1,000 new families in Jalozai camp. Jalozai phase-9 will be able to house another 5,000 families when site development has been completed. A joint inter-agency (UNHCR, WFP, UNICEF and OCHA) mission visited Mardan to assess the recent influx of IDPs from Buner and Lower Dir and the ongoing response. The mission met district officials and visited the newly-established Sheikh Shehzad camp.

Coordination efforts to handle the mass displacement have also begun in among the INGOs. On Friday 5 May, the General Coordination Meeting of INGOs took place in Islamabad to share details of the current situation and to discuss the immediate plans of the government and non-government organizations. In addition the established camps, four new contingency camps are in process. The four camps are expected to host a capacity of 60,000 individuals. A major concern is how to provide assistance to the IDPs living outside the camps. The majority of the displaced families are opting not to move to the established camps, but rather to reside with relatives or in rented housing. Even residing with relatives is difficult as the host areas do not have the capacity to provide adequate shelter, food, and other necessities to the mass influx of IDPs.

As of May 11, 2009, the INGOs member of the Pakistan Human Forum (PHF) in their assessment reports have reported approximately 80% families residing with host families, 15% in the established camps (school buildings have been declared as camps in district Mardan) and 5 % living on their own. Out of the displaced population, roughly 70-80 % are children.

NCA team visited Yar Hussain IDPs camp in Swabi on May 10, 2009. The staff observed that 90% of the displaced population is without any assets like clothes, shoes, utensils, food, mosquito mats, coverlets for sleeping, and food for children between 2-3 years old. Almost everyone is psychologically disturbed and children especially are still passing through phase of fear. NCAs partners are assessing the situation of IDPs living outside the camps on a continuous basis.

Cereal food and dry milk for children (2-3 years old) (1000 families with children 1,000 among the 4000 families) 2 Medicines for the health centers 4,000

PVDP will form relief committees at the IDP camps. These committees will be responsible to facilitate women to access available health services at the facilitation centers. These committees will also help in distribution of food and non-food items to the IDPs within the camp. Each committee will be comprised of 5-7 members. The committee will also ensure that it coordinates with the camp management to ensure no overlapping takes place in distribution of relief items to the IDPs by other organizations.

• Establishment of women and children facilitation centers at camp level: NCA will establish two facilitation centers at two main camps (Yar Hussain and Shah Mansoor) in Swabi district. The facilitation centers will be comprised of a female doctor with paramedic staff and a psychologist. The centers will provide separate place to both women and children where they will get regular check-ups and medication for reproductive health related problems such as pregnancy, natal and post natal care. These centers will also provide proper treatment to the children for general sickness such as skin diseases and diarrhea. In addition to this, counseling service will be provided to traumatized women and child living in the camps. These centers will also be used for distribution of relief goods provided by NCA to PVDP. The centers will provide proper referral services to patients that will require hospitalization in the Government Basic Health Units (BHUs) and hospitals. In this regard PVDP has conducted mapped of the available services in the nearby BHUs and civil hospitals specifically regarding women and children issues.

• Health hygiene sessions and how to better utilize relief items: PVDP staff will organize training sessions on health hygiene for women and children in the IDP camps. This training session will ensure that families are protected from water borne diseases and they are using boiled water particularly for preparation of cereal food children in hygienic way.

• WASH faculties to IDPs living outside camps: NCA will also provide WASH faculties to IDPs living outside camps. This in planned implemented in cooperation with NCA’s three existing WASH partners, PVDP, Taraqee Foundation and PAK-CDP. NCA has been working with these organizations after the earthquake in October 2005, and have good experience. NCA emergency department is already involved in providing the necessary assistance to the Representation in Pakistan. NCA is coordinating these efforts by participating in WASH clusters set up by UNICEF. NCA is deputing an international WASH expert from NCA’s emergency roster, with extensive experience from NCA’s earthquake response programme. NCA will assist partners by providing technical assistance, monitoring and evaluation, as well as strengthening the organizations’ finance and logistics departments.

As UNICEF is currently taking responsibility for WASH facilities in the camps, NCA will focus its interventions for IDPs living with host families. UNOCHA has identified a gap in the assistance in this sector to 665.000 people (as per 5 May, this figure is increasing substantially on a daily basis). NCA will also procure the necessary equipment in order to respond quickly in the WASH sector. Details of this intervention will be provided as soon as the assessments are completed.

IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS:

NCA’s immediate relief phase will be undertaken by NCA in coordination with its partner, PVDP. NCA already has an agreement with this partner. The partner will procure and distribute the necessary material. The woman’s’ center will be run by PVDP with close monitoring by NCA.

NCA WASH interventions will be planned jointly by NCA and its three partners, PVDP, Taraqee Foundation and PAK-CDP. Staff from NCA’s emergency roster will be deployed to NCA’s office in Pakistan in May. The

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 53 Appeal PAK091

planning phase has already started, with involvement of NCA’s emergency department in Oslo. Close coordination will be maintained with UNICEF Wash Cluster.

NCA already has established good relations with religious leaders of all faiths represented in Pakistan, both at the national level and at the local level in NWFP. NCA is looking at using these contacts in order to promote peace in the IDP population.

IMPLEMENTING PARTNER PROFILE:

Its head office is based in Peshawar with regional offices in Allai, Battagram, Batal, Balakot, Buner, Bagh, Charsadda, Dir, Kohat, Karak, Kohistan, Mansehra, Muzaffarabad, Shangla, and Swat. Activities in FATA are implemented through a network of local partners in Khyber, Mohmand and Kurram Agency. PVDP’s main program areas are Human and Institutional Development, Education, Primary/Reproductive Health Care, and WatSan. PVDP has undertaken several sustainable developmental projects in rural and urban areas of NWFP. PVDP over the years has not only gained substantial experience but has facilitated the formation and strengthening of its local partners network with more than 40 organizations in various parts of the province. PVDP is also recognized as a resource organization in the area of Human and Institutional Development and HIV/AIDS, providing services to various local organizations. The establishment of an information and knowledge resource center is one of the major achievements of PVDP in terms of its knowledge management campaign.

Pakistan – Assistance to IDPs 55 Appeal PAK091

The immediate relief phase of CWS will be accomplished from May-August 2009. This also includes reporting and documentation on post distribution of relief items. Provision of relief items would be carried out immediately through a participatory process after getting through random verification of host families. Re-verification of beneficiaries will be executed through the partner’s field team.

NCAs immediate relief phase will be for 3 months, until end July 2009, while the WASH interventions are planned for a period of one year. This will include support to IDPs when they return to their villages.

NEXT STEPS:

Keeping in view the increasing influx of IDPs in the coming days, this Preliminary Appeal will be followed by a comprehensive Appeal focusing on the relief and recovery component.
