3 Preface Under the FATA Transition and Recovery Programme (FTRP), UNDP has been working in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) since May 205 and has been contributing towards enabling sustainable returns and development of the region. Over the past one and a half year, we have supported social cohesion and peace building, infrastructure development, schools' rehabilitation, skills development, livelihoods creation and strengthening of state-citizen relationships. During this time, 649 Community Organisations have been formed, serving as a platform for the communities to identify, prioritise their needs collectively and devise strategies leading to increased community resilience and social cohesion. Furthermore, 5 public infrastructure schemes and 364 community physical infrastructure schemes have been rehabilitated benefitting 230,50 and 235,446 people respectively. UNDP is contributing towards livelihoods sustainability and local economic recovery of FATA. To date, immediate temporary employment opportunities have benefitted 3,025 individuals while community based livelihoods trainings, business management skills and technical vocational skills trainings have been provided to more than 3,500 individuals, and,802 youth respectively. Additionally, the activities of UNDP under its program have led to increased enrolment in schools by 6,564 students and provision of quality education to some 67,234 students. We are implementing FTRP in close coordination with the government, enabling us to develop supportive relationships with the Ministry of States and Frontier Regions, FATA Secretariat, FATA Development Authority, the KP authorities and various line departments. We provided critical support to the FATA Secretariat in the development of the Sustainable Return & Rehabilitation (R&R) Strategy, which was launched in 205 and focuses on 5 pillars: (i) rehabilitating physical infrastructure, (ii) strengthening law and order, (iii) expanding government service delivery, (iv) reactivating and strengthening the economy, and (v) strengthening social cohesion and peace building. Our work supports the R&R Strategy and the recommendations of the FATA Reforms Committee Report. The stabilisation and recovery of FATA is a very broad endeavour that cannot be accomplished by one partner in isolation. Our partnership with the United Nations agencies including Food and Agriculture Organisation, United Nations Children's Fund, United Nations Office for Project Services and World Food Programme allows us to build on the strengths of each other and deliver efficiently and effectively. UNDP highly values the support offered by civil society organisations, academia, private sector and other implementing partners. Together we are supporting the Government of Pakistan in enabling voluntary, sustainable and safe returns of the Temporarily Dislocated Persons to their areas of origin in FATA. We gratefully recognise the support by the Department for International Development - Government of the United Kingdom, the European Union, the Government of Japan, the United States for International Development for pushing forward the stabilisation agenda in FATA. In keeping with the commitments made under the new way of working, UNDP will continue working together with humanitarian and development partners, as well as the Government of Pakistan, to enable the people and institutions of FATA to move from humanitarian towards recovery and sustainable development in line with the Government of Pakistan's Vision 2025 and the Sustainable Development Goals.

6 Federally Administered Tribal Areas Transition and Recovery Programme Duration May years May 208 FATA Sustainable Return and Rehabilitation Strategy FATA has experienced instability since 200, when the situation worsened due to the emergence of militancy on either side of the Afghan Pakistan border. Since 2008, there have been waves of displacement within FATA and to neighbouring districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). In April 205, the FATA Disaster Management Authority reported that a total of 5.3 million people had been temporarily displaced from across FATA. Budget: Objective: 20 $ $ million USD The basic foundations are laid down across all Agencies and Frontier Regions of FATA to allow the TDP population of FATA to return home and have basic living conditions in their areas of origin. The influx of Temporarily Dislocated Persons (TDPs) to adjacent districts of KP with limited absorption capacity increased the stress on local infrastructure. Therefore, the already vulnerable TDPs had to face numerous challenges in meeting their basic needs related to health, education, livelihood, housing, nutrition, etc. The hardship of TDPs did not end even on returning to FATA as the previously existing infrastructure had been destroyed or damaged. Their new challenge is rebuilding lives in areas with limited functioning public and private infrastructure. In 205, the Sustainable Return and Rehabilitation (R&R) Strategy was developed by the FATA Secretariat with the support of UNDP to ensure that displaced people returning home could rebuild their lives and livelihoods.

10 Federally Administered Tribal Areas Transition and Recovery Programme Governance and Reforms FATA has always maintained a special status as it is politically, administratively and legally governed by the Frontier Crimes Strengthening law and order Expanding government service delivery Regulation (FCR), meaning it exists under separate system from the rest of Pakistan. As a result, the people of FATA face restricted rights, have little voice in the existing governance system, lack Bajaur Mohmand access to government institutions, formal justice mechanisms, public participation and socio-economic development Khyber opportunities. Weak governance and administrative setup led to FATA lagging in all development indicators compared to the rest Kurram Orakzai of the country thereby creating a sense of deprivation amongst the locals. However, after the establishment of the Committee on FATA North Waziristan Reforms, by the Prime Minister of Pakistan in November 205, there has been high level political endorsement of plans to reform FATA. Report of the Committee on FATA Reforms in 206 South Waziristan outlines many broad reforms to the governance of FATA, including the extension of the courts and fundamental rights, elected local governments, socio-economic development, and merger with KP afer a transition period of five years. UNDP is supporting the Federal Ministry of States and Frontier Regions (SAON) and FATA Secretariat by providing technical expertise to augment the state's institutional capacity, contributing to improved governance structures and the realization of long term stability. It is also providing technical assistance and capacity development to the FATA Development Authority (FDA), the FATA Disaster Management Authority (FDMA), the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Unit (RRU) and other line departments to improve service delivery and introduce participatory governance mechanisms.

12 Federally Administered Tribal Areas Transition and Recovery Programme Community Resilience and Social Cohesion Strengthening social cohesion and peace building The returning TDPs face severe challenges due to limited opportunities to be involved in self governance. There is a need to build the capacity of TDPs and increase their resilience towards crisis by providing them with a platform where they can work together to find solutions that will allow them to live in a safer, more peaceful environment. Such networks lead to Kurram Orakzai Khyber Bajaur Mohmand improved community welfare and social cohesion by providing them with a support system and through knowledge and resource sharing.

Specific emphasis has been laid on women engagement through formation of women COs. Further, two community platforms (CPs) have been formed to represent the existing smaller COs at local level. These CPs are serving as an interface with local authorities thereby bridging the gap between the state and its citizens. I am happy that female needs have been given importance while prioritising schemes. My house was destroyed making me and my family vulnerable to natural disasters. I was given nancial assistance by UNDP for repairing my house and to support my family.

It was especially hard for women due to non-availability of public services and livelihood opportunities within or near our village, which made them inaccessible for us. Under this programme we (women) were given the opportunity to voice our concerns collectively and supported to cope with our needs leading to increased social cohesion and resilience. In my village 6 community organisations have been formed under which women have been given skills development training for home based income generating activities.

14 Federally Administered Tribal Areas Transition and Recovery Programme Rehabilitating physical infrastructure Basic Services and Infrastructure In the last few years, FATA's already scarce basic infrastructure has been heavily damaged or destroyed due to which the returning TDPs are deprived of public services. The damage assessment carried out by FATA Secretariat indicates heavy infrastructure damage inflicted across all sectors including education, health, water, roads and irrigation. Lack of basic infrastructure and services adversely affects the human and economic development of FATA questioning the sustainability of the TDP's return process. UNDP is supporting the FATA Secretariat's Directorate of Projects and line departments in rehabilitating physical infrastructure to ensure access to basic services on their return through community engagement. UNDP has built the capacity of communities in identifying and prioritising their needs and finding durable solutions. Direct engagement of communities has helped strengthen the state-citizen relationship while ensuring sustainability of the interventions.

Prior to displacement, our village had an unpaved road but upon our return we found that it had been damaged, making it difficult for us speci cally women, children and elderly to travel. After construction of this link road we can now easily travel using our vehicles allowing us to reach our destination on time.

Currently, most of the people of FATA are dependent on unstable sources of income with a large majority of them being engaged in labour (unskilled and skilled) and agriculture. Agriculture as the main source of income has declined from 39% of all respondents to 25% with an increase in unskilled labour from 3% pre-displacement to 23% after displacement. About 7% households do not have any income source and solely rely on assistance. Further, limited livelihood opportunities led to reliance of a large number of households only on one income source, increasing their vulnerability. The unemployment rate among adults in FATA remains very high and 2 is lower for youth aged 5 to 24. The market infrastructure has also been highly damaged disrupting the local supply chains and links with external markets. Trade and business activity has decreased from 5% predisplacement to % post-displacement adversely affecting livelihoods of people and creating issues of food security. Achieving and maintaining stability in FATA requires provision of sustainable employment opportunities to both residents and returnees. In partnership with World Food Programme (WFP) and FATA Development Authority (FDA), UNDP has provided short term employment to recent most returnees for cash injection into the local economy. Further inclusive income generation opportunities have been provided to the locals while simultaneously laying the foundations for longer-term economic recovery.

18 Federally Administered Tribal Areas Transition and Recovery Programme Rehabilitating physical infrastructure Education and Peace Building The education sector suffered substantially due to crisis and displacement. In 204, the FATA Development Indicators Household Survey (FDIHS) reported the overall literacy rate to be 33% (49.7% for males and 2.7% for females) relative to a national average of 58%. The gross and net enrolment rates for primary education (ages 6-0) as 77.4% and 52.% respectively are well below the rates of 92% and 67% for KP. In short, the education system is not providing an adequate service to support long-term sustainable development. Parents do not prioritise participation in education for their children as highly as they might due to its perceived poor quality and the lack of opportunity for already educated children. Investing in school infrastructure and quality of education are important to increase school enrolment and retention. In partnership with United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), UNDP is supporting the Government of Pakistan in providing quality education by investing in school infrastructure, management and school learning. A bottom-up participatory approach has been adopted through increased community participation in school management to strengthen trust between communities and local government authorities.
