This appeal was launched on March 31st 2010 to follow on from ACT appeal PAK091 supporting people displaced by conflict in 2009. The purpose of this programme is to contribute to the long-term recovery process for the 1.8 million women, men and children who were displaced. This includes both returnees and those who stayed behind during the fighting in their places of origin in the Swat and Buner Districts of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP). Church World Service (CWS) proposes recovery assistance to conflict-affected returnees and other community members in the areas of return including livelihoods rehabilitation related to food-production, education, and primary health care services in Buner and Swat districts over a 12 month project timeframe. For livelihoods work in Buner, CWS will work with local partner organization Lasoona. Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) proposes to assist 3,383 families in Swat and Buner to ensure their access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation, with a particular focus on access for women and girls, the elderly and disabled. Schools’ water and sanitation needs in the identified target areas will be included wherever possible. NCA will work with and through two local partner organizations: Pakistan Village Development Program (PVDP) and Pakistan Community Development Programme (PakCDP). Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKH) proposes to support at least 3,250 households in Swat to rehabilitate livestock-based livelihoods and small-scale home based business development as recovery assistance for female-headed households of conflict-affected returnees, as well as support for crop farming households. In addition, vocational training and start-up kits provision for young men and women is proposed. DKH will work with and through local partner NRSP (National Rural Support Program).

NCA works with partners in more than 60 countries ranging through faith based, secular and government institutions. NCA has a 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 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. 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 Pakistan Post-Conflict Rehab. Rev. 1 - PAK101 2 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 for psychosocial interventions, project management, finance, administration, logistics and security.

Additionally, logistical support is provided through NCA’s head office in Oslo. (For further information, please visit www.nca.no) For this ACT Appeal programme, NCA will work with
