1 2015 HUMANITARIAN STRATEGIC PLAN Pakistan HCT approved 6 February 2015 PERIOD: January 2015 December % million total population 1.58% of total population 2.9 million* people targeted for humanitarian aid in this plan Categories of people targeted: 1.6 internally 1.6 displaced million million persons displaced 2.05 million nondisplaced million people hosting internally displaced persons million returnees million million Undernourished pregnant and lactating women undernourished children under-5 Sources: Government, IVAP, Nutrition Sector/Cluster as of January 2015 * Total excludes returnees to avoid doublecounting. US$ million requested Refugee-related needs and funding requirements are reflected in the refugee response chapter but are not part of this Strategic Plan. Prepared by OCHA on behalf of the Humanitarian Country Team SUMMARY Strategic objectives 1. Reduce morbidity and mortality among the humanitarian caseload, including those in displacement and the undernourished to below emergency thresholds. 2. All humanitarian assistance for the humanitarian caseloads identified in this plan has a protection focus, ensuring inclusion and accountability to the affected population; taking into consideration the particular needs of men, women, boys, girls, older persons, people with disabilities, and others. 3. Support the return of internally displaced persons (IDPs) 1 in the transition from humanitarian to recovery and increase resilience among the vulnerable through targeted interventions. 4. Enhance future emergency responses through strengthened national and sub-national preparedness and response capacity focusing on the hazard-prone districts. Parameters of the response As stipulated in this humanitarian Strategic Plan, the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) will support all life-saving needs of IDPs in and off camps, with targeted programming where possible. Support will be provided for unregistered IDPs based on their vulnerability. The HCT, however, is unable to help the stayees, those who stayed in areas that were notified 2 and were not displaced, for a number of reasons including security and access. Support will also be given to hosting communities to provide for the humanitarian needs of the displaced population through increased access 1 International conventions refers to displaced persons who have not crossed an international border as internally displaced persons (IDPs); which the UN must conform to when discussing displaced people. In August 2014, the Pakistan Government issued a notification to refer to IDPs as temporarily dislocated person (TDPs). 2 Notification is a Government declaration by a relevant department. Government will notify an area for a natural disaster, security operation requiring evacuation, or spread of a disease. Notifying an area fast-tracks humanitarian assistance procedures and entitles people in or from notified areas to government. People must leave the area in areas notified for security operations; an area will be denotified to indicate it is safe to return.

2 STRATEGIC PLAN - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - Pakistan to community services, including educational services, health care, nutritional support and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). As for monsoon floods, assistance from the international community is expected to be limited, as was the case in 2014, given the growing capacity of Government of Pakistan to deal with the humanitarian impact on populations from the monsoon floods. The Pakistan National Nutrition Survey Report 2011 highlighted that 58.1 per cent of households nationally are food insecure. An estimated million pregnant and lactating women (PLW) and million children under five are undernourished. The HCT identified support to treat six per cent of severe and moderate malnourished PLWs and screening of undernourished children between 6 and 59 months. Community services will be supported through recovery programming. For some issues of concern, such as drought in Sindh, the underlying causes are chronic and will address nutrition needs and the other non-humanitarian needs will be addressed by recovery and development actors and not through this humanitarian strategy. In 2014, there were 1.6 million refugees the majority from Afghanistan and a minority from Somalia and other countries. The focus of UNHCR and refugee programme partners will remain on supporting the Government in implementing the regional Solutions Strategy for Afghan Refugees (SSAR), and its National Policy on Management and Repatriation of Afghan refugees, including protection, assistance and solutions initiatives. The Refugee Affected and Hosting Areas programme provides the framework to enhance asylum space at the community level. KEY HUMANITARIAN ISSUES 1 Displacement and returns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province (KP) and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) Approximately 1.6 million displaced people are in need of education, food, health, non-food items, shelter, protection, water, sanitation and hygiene due to insecurities in KP and FATA. 2 Food insecurity and undernutrition Severe malnutrition issues exist across Pakistan; exacerbated by natural disasters and insecurity. Nationally, an estimated 58.1 per cent of households are food insecure; Global Acute Malnutrition is ranked at 15.1 per cent and Severe Acute Malnutrition ranked at 5.8 per cent, exceeding global thresholds. An estimated 2 million people are food insecure in droughtaffected areas of Sindh Province with chronic drought or drought-like situation in effect since Natural disasters Extreme weather patterns contribute to floods, cyclones and droughts. In 2014, 2.53 million were affected by floods and 2 million people were affected by drought. Earthquakes have previously affected large numbers of people. 4 Public health concerns Many public health concerns are chronic, however, the main humanitarian issues are vaccine-preventable, including polio, and vector-borne illnesses and hygiene prevention. Pakistan is one of three countries globally with endemic polio. Targeted attacks against polio workers, misconception of local communities, and a lack of information and awareness continue to compromise polio eradication. While Pakistan has a comparatively low rate of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence and concentrated epidemic in key populations, there is a vast potential for HIV to spread. People living with HIV may lose or run out of medications during a complex emergencies situation, resulting in possible interruption in treatment. Access to care can be hampered either due to the destruction of a health care facility or the People Living with HIV relocate to another community including vulnerable and marginalized women and children. There are also chances that emergency can disrupt social service for days or even weeks which can impede benefits such as social services. This may lead to increased vulnerability for women and children. Common information service on HIV and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) prevention and care is essential to reach all vulnerable groups. 2

5 Pakistan - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - STRATEGIC PLAN STRATEGY People in need and targeted Based on the evidence provided by the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO), the HCT identified approximately 9 million people affected or in need: IDPs, returnees, refugees, and undernourished with additional people who were flood- and drought-affected. The humanitarian response for 2015 aims to assist an estimated 4.1 million people: IDPs, returnees, people hosting IDPs, undernourished PLW and undernourished children aged 6 to 59 months. People in need in situations that have chronic underlying causes will be addressed by recovery and development actors and not through this humanitarian strategy. Refugees will be covered by UNHCR under their strategic plan. An overview is available under the refugee response chapter. This HCT Strategic Plan will not cover refugee-related humanitarian activities and respective funding requirements.

Situation Pakistan will continue to face multiple humanitarian challenges in 2015 exacerbated by insecurity and chronic underdevelopment. Currently there are 1.6 million IDPs. It also faces a multitude of natural hazards but without adequate disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies in place they can turn into disaster situations requiring a humanitarian response. Community and individual coping mechanisms are being depleted in host communities and areas that face natural hazards. Donor funding is likely to remain the same or decrease, which will in turn affect the capacity of the humanitarian community to ensure an adequate humanitarian response. In December 2014, the Government proposed that some 125,000 households would return in 2015; of these, up to 89,000 families will be to Bara. Since the changing dynamic of the returns situation heavily impacts on the strategic planning process, the HCT considered two planning assumptions on returns; either returns in the second half or the first half of This allows flexibility in supporting people s needs while adapting to the Government s updated planning figures and acknowledging the uncertainites around returns. 3 The HCT uses a family size of six people per family. 4 The host family number is extrapolated from the IVAP data of 262,000 people living directly with a host family. 5

6 STRATEGIC PLAN - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - Pakistan Scope of the response The HCT agreed on the parameters and boundaries of the humanitarian caseload and response that will be supported under the HCT Strategic Plan 2015: IDPs, hosting communities, returnees, and two undernourished groups. The HCT also outlined the areas that will not be covered by the Strategic Plan either because the Government is responding to the emergencies or the response falls under recovery and development. The following details the scope of the Strategic Plan: IDPs: The HCT will support all life-saving needs of IDPs, in and off camp, with targeted programming where possible. For unregistered IDPs, limited support will be based on vulnerability. The HCT is unable to help the stayees for a number of reasons including security and access. Hosting communities: Support to the hosting communities will be through increased access to community services, including health care, nutritional support, WASH and educational services. Some services may be provided to hosting community families based on vulnerability, such as food packages and NFIs. IDP returns: As of late December 2014, the Government anticipates that 125,000 households will return 5. The numbers of returnees are fluid and constantly changing. Requirements may increase substantially going into The HCT aims to support all returning families for three to six months, depending on access. The humanitarian support will interface with the recovery and community resilience efforts. Nutrition: An estimated million PLW and million children under five years of age are undernourished. The HCT will support screening for undernourished children between 6 and 59 months, and PLW for treatment of severe and moderate malnutrition. The HCT will support six per cent of this caseload: 876,299 PLW and 1,359,334 under-five children. Community services will be supported through the interface with recovery programming. Preparedness, contingency planning and natural disasters: The HCT supports preparedness and contingency planning which complements efforts by Government and other actors. Humanitarian organizations have prepositioned resources in the event of a sudden onset emergency. Natural hazards have greatly affected rural and urban communities, often requiring a humanitarian response. Although the humanitarian community has provided limited assistance when asked, such as conducting rapid needs assessment for floods, since 2012 the Government has not requested international assistance for monsoon floods. The Government has led the response for floods and droughts and will most likely lead the response in For drought, the humanitarian community is focusing on undernourishment as the interface between humanitarian and long-term development assistance. Rationale The main focus of this strategy is to address humanitarian needs arising from the complex emergency in FATA and KP and address the life-saving needs of the most vulnerable groups of the undernourished population. The cluster approach is functional and applies only to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) response. The sectoral coordination mechanism is in place in Balochistan, Punjab, Sindh and at the national level. 6 The humanitarian community has developed specific vulnerability criteria under the Vulnerability Working Group (VWG) with the aim of providing concrete guidance on the way forward in moving from the current blanket assistance to vulnerability/needs-based assistance to all IDPs during displacement, while in displacement and during return. 5 At the time of the HCT Strategic Plan workshop on 26 November 2014, the KP Government projected 80,000 households will return, of these the HCT projected approximately 30 per cent (24,000 households) will actually return depending on the context. The numbers of returnees are fluid and constantly changing. 6 The cluster approach was enacted to strengthen humanitarian response to ensure high standards of predictability, accountability and partnership in all sectors or areas of activity. A cluster is essentially a sectoral group; they have the same objectives and activities with the aim of filling gaps and ensuring adequate preparedness and response. In the cluster approach, the cluster lead, and agency/organization that has formally committed to take on a leadership role within the international humanitarian community also take on the commitment to act as the provider of last resort in that particular sector/area of activity. (IASC Operational guidance on designating sector/cluster leads in major new emergencies, Ref 1.4.4) 6

7 Pakistan - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - STRATEGIC PLAN In the event of a natural disaster, the underlying assumption is that the national authorities will respond to the emergency. If the scale of the emergency is beyond the capacity of the government, they will request support. In this case the Strategic Plan will be amended or revisited to reflect the additional requirement to respond to the affected population needs. How will the strategy be implemented? Humanitarian coordination In Pakistan there are a number of national and international aid organizations. Within the UN system 22 UN system members operate in Pakistan. Many of the non-governmental organizations (NGOs), collaborate under the Pakistan Humanitarian Forum (PHF), the international NGO forum, or under the National Humanitarian Network (NHN), the national NGO forum. PHF has 58 members while NHN has over 180 members with the majority being communitybased organizations. Most, if not all NGOs, operate under the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) guidance in coordinating humanitarian response. In accordance to IASC and the Transformative Agenda, the humanitarian response is coordinated under the auspices of the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) and the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) and supported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). In Pakistan, the HCT is chaired by the HC with membership composed of head of agencies or deputy head of agencies from the UN system members, 13 are full members of the HCT while others may be invited to participate as needed, and members from PHF and NHN. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the International Federation of the Red Cross/Red Crescent (IFRC) 7 have observer status. Representatives of cluster lead agencies represent their cluster(s) and their own organization. The cluster approach that was activated in Pakistan since 2011 for natural disasters was deactivated in December Currently, the cluster approach is operational only in FATA and KP to respond to the displacement of families from FATA in the context of the complex emergency. Sectoral coordination is in place for the rest of Pakistan for natural disasters and general humanitarian response. Sectors provide technical support to the HCT via the National Humanitarian Coordination Mechanism (NHCM) at the national level, and the inter-sector/cluster coordination mechanisms at the provincial levels. The operational coordination of the Strategic Plan in FATA and KP will be undertaken through the Inter-Cluster Coordination Mechanism (ICCM) based in Peshawar. OCHA supports the NHCM and ICCMs. All activated clusters operational in FATA and KP are focusing on the complex emergency, however, the equivalent sector lead agency for Protection is not operational outside of FATA and KP. The absence of a protection lead agency for natural disasters implies the need to mainstream protection assistance into other sector activities for natural disaster response and general humanitarian operations in the areas outside of FATA and KP. Photo credit: WFP The National Nutrition Working Group (NNWG) chaired by UNICEF, coordinates the non-government nutrition responses across Pakistan. In addition to assisting registered IDPs, the humanitarian community will assist vulnerable unregistered IDPs identified using a vulnerability criteria developed by the VWG. The VWG was set up in January 2014 and tasked with developing vulnerability criteria based on existing IVAP indicators: to provide concrete guidance on the way forward to move from blanket to vulnerability/needs-based assistance; and to define vulnerability criteria based on existing IVAP indicators and conduct a desk review of costs. The set of criteria included approximately 10 vulnerable groups such as child- or female-headed households or households without a main income-generator over the age of Terms of Reference, Humanitarian Country Team, Pakistan, final and endorsed version 18 May

8 STRATEGIC PLAN - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - Pakistan HCT members are conscious of the need for targeted assistance. Snce 2013, HCT has made effort within VWG and elaborated on the vulnerability criteria. Most of the current humanitarian activities have existing targeting criteria (See annex 1: targeting criteria.) WFP and partners operating in General Food Distribution continue to make progress towards targeted food assistance. Gender Task Forces, led by UN Women, are operational in the Islamabad Capital Territory, Balochistan, KP and Pakistan-administered Kashmir (PAK). They meet periodically to assist sectors/clusters in ensuring gender is mainstreamed in their priorities, projects are gender sensitized and support is provided to assessments in data gathering by female enumerators, data analysis and evidence-based advocacy with the HCT and national and provincial government Disaster Management Authorities. Coordination and common services In Pakistan, OCHA and the HC provides operational coordination through a dedicated team of humanitarian affairs officers. Security coordination services is provided by the HC and the UN Department of Safety and Security. Humanitarian and security coordination helps enable operational effectiveness; focusing efforts to improve the overall operating environment for humanitarian action through coordination support. Coordination and common services contributes to all the strategic objectives by providing coordination and critical common services to other sectors and their partners. Further details are provided in the Coordination and Common Services chapter. Addressing cross-cutting and context-specific issues In any emergency there are cross-cutting issues to consider in developing a holistic response: inclusion of vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, persons with disabilities, children; consideration of gender issues; DRR practices; and communication with the target population. Vulnerable groups Vulnerable groups with specific needs require special consideration. Approximately 13.4 per cent of Pakistan s population are persons with disability 8 while 7 percent are older persons. Based on this estimate, out of 1,278,114 IDPs 9 and returnees an estimated 152,593 are persons with disabilities and 79,716 are older persons. A reported 87 per cent of services in the FATA and KP complex emergency are not inclusive of the needs of persons with disabilities 10. Only 26 per cent of respondents said humanitarian staff and Government provides services which help older persons and persons with disabilities while 88 per cent reported there are no support mechanisms or networks within the community for older persons and person with disabilities. Both vulnerable groups have specific needs that must be addressed across the sectors: provision of medical care, assistive devices, appropriate food for older persons and persons with disabilities; livelihood opportunities creation; and, access to education; and access-friendly infrastructure. Gender In order to track humanitarian funding that targets members of a population equally, the Strategic Plan will employ the use of a Gender Marker 11. The IASC Gender Marker is a tool that codes, on a 0 2 scale, whether or not a humanitarian project is designed well enough to ensure that women/girls and men/boys will benefit equally from it or that it will advance gender equality in another way. If the project has the potential to contribute to gender equality, the marker predicts whether the results are likely to be limited or significant. 12 It is a system that enables tracking of humanitarian funding to target members of a population equally. 8 WHO report on disability, UNHCR IDP fact sheet, September Protection Cluster detailed assessment, May The IASC Gender Marker is a system that was developed as part of the On-line Project System (OPS), a web-based database for UN agencies and NGOs to directly upload their projects and funding requests that tracks humanitarian funding.

9 Pakistan - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - STRATEGIC PLAN Through its Gender-Equality Policy, OCHA is committed to ensuring humanitarian action recognizes and responds to the different protection and assistance needs of boys, girls, men and women; and developing a system that ensures integrating gender equality programming into the Strategic Plan. In Pakistan, UN Women and OCHA will expand its joint efforts to support humanitarian partners to undertake improved gender analysis; gather and utilize sex and age disaggregated data; improve service delivery based on the distinct needs of boys, girls, men and women; develop opportunities for women to directly participate in developing and implementing humanitarian strategies; and ensure that monitoring and reporting capture gender-specific indicators. Accountability to affected people Project Code 0 1 2a 2b Category Projects are considered gender blind at the planning stage. Gender differences are reflected in only one or two of the three critical elements: needs, activities and outcomes, or where cohesiveness is lacking and contributes in a limited way to gender equality. The different needs of men compared to women (girls compared to boys) and are mainstreamed into the project planning. Projects reflect a project targeting a particular group girls, boys, women, or men disadvantaged because of their sex or their gender roles. The HCT is committed to accountability to affected people under the five IASC commitments as endorsed in December 2011: leadership/governance, feedback and complaints, participation, transparency and monitoring. The approach is integrated into each phase of the cycle. Programmes are designed to provide accessible and timely information to affected populations based on their assessed needs, such as information campaigns for the returns process to ensure people make informed decisions and do return voluntarily. In programming, organizations provide grievances and feedback mechanism, e.g. WFP desk, protection-related services and hotlines, enabling affected people to voice and receive a response to their views and complaints. This also provides an opportunity for organizations to improve their activities. Redressal is carried out through the appropriate mechanism, such as when someone is rejected from registering for identification s/he may have their case reconsidered. Timely and standardized assessments are another important facet in ensuring accountability. An effort will be made to share assessment findings with community elders and relevant government authorities. Targeted assistance ensures accountability. Needs-based programming enables improved services to the affected populations through the identification of vulnerabilities followed by the delivery of appropriate assistance. Communication with the target population In terms of participation and transparency under accountability to affected people, strengthening public awareness and community outreach through targeted and timely communication is important to ensure humanitarian assistance is known and accessible to people in need. Information sharing has emerged as a key requirement during response alongside the need for coordinated structures and standards for delivering humanitarian aid. The importance of improved two-way communication with target populations has been highlighted by IDPs and local stakeholders, such as clusters, ICCM, Returns Task Force and government authorities 13. This Strategic Plan, through the Humanitarian Communications (HComms) programme, will reach out to target populations with critical messages through multiple communication channels including radio, newspapers, print material, the Humanitarian Call Centre and community-based awareness sessions. Multi-sector information on available assistance and access to services will be disseminated in coordination with relevant clusters. Messages may relate to food distribution, health services, protection (gender-based violence [GBV], registration locations, timelines, locations of grievance desks, information on return processes), water and sanitation, and education. For 2015, the HComms will on supporting populations during anticipated returns, those remaining in displacement, and the newly displaced. Ongoing HComms activities have proven effective in raising awareness of mine risks for returnees, decreasing the incidence of beneficiaries seeling food assistance packages, and improving referral and grievance resolutions. 13 Rapid Protection Cluster assessment on North Waziristan displacement Bannu, FR Bannu and Razmak, Pakistan, June 2014; and Protection Cluster detailed assessment areas of return and areas of displacement, KP FATA, Pakistan, May

10 STRATEGIC PLAN - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - Pakistan Disaster risk reduction Pakistan is acutely vulnerable to disasters as a result of its geographic location, topography, hydrological configuration, extended fault-lines, and overall underdevelopment across the country. People s resiliency is dependent upon their ability to cope with regularly occurring natural events. DRR and emergency preparedness activities within the family and within communities are imperative to ensure that natural hazards do not become a disaster. Civil society organizations continue to work with children and communities on DRR activities. Government authorities are working with private and public entities in areas such as early warning systems, however, more work is needed for people living in flood zones, earthquake-prone and arid areas. In camps and camp-like situations, the existing drainage structures will not service heavy rain storms. Pre-positioning tents and commodities are needed in anticipation of damages resulting from these storms. The HCT provides DRR services by mainstreaming DRR action in each phase of the Humanitarian Programme Cycle (HPC). The HCT s multi-hazard preparedness planning will start early in the year with a risk analysis and review of the minimum preparedness actions. If the Plan is activated, an After Action Report (AAR) is carried out. Lessons learned are then integrated into the subsequent plan. The preparedness and response planning includes cluster/sector plans, stock lists and a communications crisis plan. How does this strategy complement longer term plans? This Strategic Plan outlines the humanitarian community s strategic response to humanitarian challenges in the country. It provides an interface and links with the UN One Programme ll (OPII), the UN document that details a fiveyear development strategy for UN agencies operating in Pakistan. Strategic Priority 3 for OPII aims to increase national resilience to disaster, crisis and external shocks of the OPII, which deals with DRR and resiliency issues. In this way, humanitarian responses interfaces with development planning and response. The humanitarian response connects with longer term recovery and development actors specifically in the areas of returns, undernutrition and drought. The humanitarian returns strategy outlines the immediate rehabilitation and recovery activities that must be carried out in the IDP return areas of FATA to ensure sustainable returns. Humanitarian support for return is time limited up to six months. Under the Cluster approach within the humanitarian realm, support to all IDPs and host communities will be provided from the CCCM, Community Restoration, Education, Food Security, Health, Logistics, Nutrition, Protection, Shelter/Non-Food Items, and WASH Clusters. In addition, return packages for returnees will be provided. Under the Returns Task Force Standard Operating Procedures, this package may include food, seeds and non-food items while some clusters may, based on need, provide post-returns support for three to six months. The Sustainable Returns and Rehabilitation Strategy (R&R Strategy), led by the FATA Secretariat with support from UNDP, is the interface between humanitarian returns, described in the HCT Strategic Plan, and returns sustainability through Pillars of sustainable returns and rehabilitation strategy: 1. Rehabilitation of physical infrastructure 2. Reinforcement of law and order 3. Expansion of government service delivery 4. Reactivation and strengthening of the economy 5. Strengthening social cohesion and peacebuilding UNDP. The R&R Strategy will be implemented over two years. Under the FATA Secretariat/UNDP project within the development realm, assistance will be provided under five umbrellas: rehabilitation of physical infrastructure, law and order, social and cohesion and peacebuilding, governance, and livelihoods. Government may provide additional cash compensation outside of the Strategic Plan and R&R Strategy. The two strategies are complementary in that they address the different temporal phases of return. These phases are the immediate humanitarian needs followed by longer term area-based programming. UNDP is supporting the FATA Secretariat with physical verification of damages and community consultations before sharing an updated strategy at the end of This strategy aims to encourage safe, sustainable, voluntary returns of IDPs to FATA. It is estimated to take 24 months to implement this strategy by the UN FATA Rehabilitation Project (comprised of UN agencies, private sector, communities and NGOs). Key areas for immediate rehabilitation of basic 10

11 Pakistan - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - STRATEGIC PLAN services in Bara Tehsil, Khyber Agency are electricity, roads, education, health and water. The other pillars will be implemented upon the return of the displaced population. 14 The objective of the humanitarian nutrition intervention is to return undernourished under-five-year-olds and PLW to a healthy weight. Complementing this is the longer term support to families with undernourished members with food security and livelihood support for longer term intervention. Current activities in place to support drought-affected communities are part of the OPII (development) activities. The situation will be monitored frequently and the response mechanism will be adjusted according to need. In Sindh, the provincial government created the Thar Development Authority and a Sindh Drought Management and Mitigation Policy in 2014 to deal with drought issues. Response monitoring To ensure that evidence-based approach is on track, the progress in delivering humanitarian assistance against targets will be monitored. The HCT will issue two Periodic Monitoring Reports mid-july 2015 and mid-january 2016 which is coordinated and drafted by OCHA based on sector/cluster inputs. These reports will serve as a mid-year review of sector indicators listed in this Strategic Plan and a final review of activities in the Strategic Plan. Sectors/clusters will be engaged in active monitoring in the implementation of this Strategic Plan and are required to report on their indicators as outlined in the sector/cluster plans section of this document as a means of rectifying and holding the duty bearers accountable for their work. Sector/cluster will establish sector/cluster monitoring plan, including selection of indicators to monitor sector/cluster objectives and activities, setting indicator targets, determining tools for data submission and reporting timelines, under the guidance of the sector/cluster coordinator. The coordinator represents the sector/cluster at the intersector/cluster coordination meetings. OCHA will facilitate and support sector/cluster and inter-sector/cluster in preparing the monitoring framework by liaisoning with the sector/cluster coordinator. Data collection, however, is the responsibility of the sector/cluster. The chair of the NHCM will coordinate the monitoring exercise: guide indicator selection and revisions as required, draft the humanitarian response monitoring framework, and compile information to measure progress. Sector/cluster coordinators will work with members to monitor and collect data on their indicators. The first Periodic Monitoring Report to cover January to June 2015 and the second to cover July to December Continuous monitoring will ensure better targeting. In turn sectors/clusters can also improve the targeting criteria. Process and participation The HPC provides the framework in which humanitarian organizations operate and the country humanitarian strategies are established. In Pakistan the cycle operates on an annual basis starting with the HNO providing the basis for strategic planning and the Periodic Monitoring Reports tracks and ensures progress and against targets. For the 2015 cycle, sector coordinators met initially in August 2014 to identify lessons learned from the HPC 2014 and build the foundation for the HNO. Inputs from the sectors/clusters at the NHCM and ICCM identified all the humanitarian needs of 2015 in Pakistan. At the HCT Strategic Plan retreat on 26 November 2014, the HCT identified the geographic and thematic areas members would work in for The Strategic Plan specifies the parameters and boundaries of humanitarian response the HCT will address.

The cluster will ensure coordination with other clusters in relation to inter-cluster activities and cross-cutting issues. It will actively monitor assistance to ensure multi-sectoral standard protection and basic services are provided in the three existing IDP camps Jalozai, New Durrani and Togh Sarai effectively and without duplications. The Cluster will promote sustainable solutions for the displaced families residing in the camps and upon their return to their homes. The Cluster anticipates the majority of the population will remain with host families while a much smaller but vulnerable segment (around 5 per cent) will continue to reside in camps. Emergency shelter and camp infrastructure (general site development and operations) are needed to adapt the camps reception capacity and to provide effective support to the displaced population in line with internationally recognized standards. Additionally, the construction and maintenance of purdah/partition walls is needed to protect the privacy of women's areas in the camps. In camps, tents are exposed to severe weather conditions. Seasonal assistance to adapt shelters for winter and summer is needed to protect IDPs. Additional interventions like electricity (lighting is particularly essential for women's wash areas), fencing, and access roads are also required. CCCM capacity-building workshops at district and community levels will be held to strengthen coordination capabilities and responsibilities at the ground level. Cluster Objective 1: Ensure building and upgrading basic facilities in Jalozai IDP Camp to accommodate new arrivals, facilitate regular participatory assessment (AGDM) for IDPs through strong networking with partners on building and upgrading the infrastructure including acquisition of land, develop shelter and provide assistance/services to the newly arrived/registered families.

The Community Restoration (CoRe) Sector/Cluster Plan for 2015 responds primarily to Strategic Objectives 3 (transitional solutions and returns for FATA IDPs) and 4 (disaster preparedness). Within the context of the complex emergency in KP/FATA, the CoRe members seek to enhance the resilience of IDPs and hosting communities of KP during the displacement period by promoting increased social cohesion between IDPs and host communities, improving access to basic services and infrastructure in the hosting communities and providing improved livelihoods opportunities for IDPs and host communities alike. In particular, these measures will seek to minimize the dependency of the targeted IDP population on humanitarian aid while providing them with skills and assets which will be instrumental in ensuring active participation of the IDP population in the return and rehabilitation phase. CoRe members will continue to work with the Provincial and District government structures in hosting areas to strengthen the capacities of the local government in monitoring and planning the community restoration response. To support mainstreaming of protection issues in this strategic plan, CoRe partners will work with the authorities and communities to support the grievance addressal and referral mechanism and provide legal assistance to vulnerable IDPs. In disaster preparedness, members will work in two key geographical areas: IDP hosting areas in KP, and 2014 floodaffected districts in Punjab and PAJK. Community restoration activities in support of Objective 4 will focus on strengthening the capacities of local government to understand and better prepare for future disasters, working with at-risk communities to develop their knowledge and awareness of hazards, vulnerabilities, risk and capacities and to develop plans to mitigate future risks and improve coordination and communication at a local level to establish simple early warning systems. Some very basic rehabilitation works will be carried out in the 2014 flood-affected areas. CoRe partners will focus on ensuring active participation of women across all proposed activities. Members will apply the vulnerability criteria when targeting in-need populations to ensure that vulnerable people including elderly, people with disabilities, people living with HIV, are included in the sector response. Disaggregated data on women and vulnerable groups will be collected to monitor progress in this regard. Members will adhere to harmonized rates for cash-for-work schemes. Complementing longer term plans By prioritizing capacity development of all actors, even in the humanitarian phase, the strategy seeks to empower people on various levels: 1) strengthen capacities of local government officials to improve response capacity for the existing emergency and strengthen preparedness capacity for future events, 2) empower members from the affected communities to voice their concerns and increase their communication and leadership capacities to ensure they are active agents of change, and 3) generate livelihoods opportunities for affected populations allowing them to contribute in the rehabilitation of their areas of origin but also increase their future chances of gainful employment. 22

23 Pakistan - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - STRATEGIC PLAN For the IDPs in particular, the community restoration strategy, which focuses on strengthening readiness for return to FATA, is complemented by the FATA Rehabilitation Strategy, which will ensure continuity of support to the IDPs once they return home. Response Monitoring CoRe will hold regular meetings with sector/cluster partners held at national, provincial and district levels to ensure effective monitoring. In these thematic meetings, possible overlaps and areas of collaboration will be identified to ensure a coherent and coordinated response. The sector/cluster who, what, where and when (4Ws) matrix will be updated on a monthly basis, and the sector/cluster will provide monthly updates to partners and the wider humanitarian community. Indicators will be tracked on a trimester basis in the appropriate formats. In addition, monitoring visits to the field to visit partners ongoing projects will help to assess the quality and the effectiveness of the CoRe partner s response.

The majority of these displaced children live in camps and host communities in KP and FATA. These children, whether they remain displaced or return to their areas of origin, will need educational support to bring normalcy to their lives, keep them away from harm, provide psychosocial support and equip them with life skills. The Sector/Cluster aims to reach 145,936 displaced and returnee children (approximately 50 per cent girls) in KP and FATA in Of the total target, the Sector/Cluster will reach 80,264 school-aged boys and girls in hosting communities (55 per cent); 29,187 in the IDP camps (20 per cent); and 36,484 (25 per cent) in areas of return. Based on US$ 50 per unit cost, a total of $7.3 million and an additional $900,000 to repair 300 schools ($3,000/school) in hosting and return areas is required to carry out the response. Enrolment in the complex emergency areas is already below the national average. In Khyber and Kurram Agencies, FATA; and Dera Ismail Khan, Hangu Kohat, Nowshera, Peshawar and Tank Districts, KP; there is a decreasing trend of children attending schools. Children s enrolment is affected by issues such as long distances to schools, students and teachers safety, non-availability of teachers and educational material, weak or damaged infrastructure, and lack of space in schools. Displacement has put an enormous strain on existing resources and facilities in hosting areas with poor learning environment, with classrooms either at full capacity or unable to accommodate more children. Low enrolment rates in areas of origin and the social norms and cultural barriers that undervalue education for girls have put the displaced population at risk of losing access to education. The Sector/Cluster response will focus on providing children and adolescents with safe, inclusive and quality educational opportunities in camps, hosting communities, and areas of return. Service provision will include setting up and sustaining existing camp schools including gender-sensitive latrines; teachers training on Education in Emergency (EiE), psychosocial support, life skills-based education; establishing and re-activating Parent-Teacher Councils and Taleemi Islahi Jirga (TIJs) or School Management Committees (SMCs); training of education managers on DRR; and training of district education officials of monitoring and inspection. In the areas of return, the response will include establishment of Temporary Learning Centres (TLCs) in emergency-affected damaged schools, minor school repairs, provision of teaching and learning material, teachers training and establishment or re-activation of school councils. Access to quality education will be increased through community mobilization and media campaigns to enrol out-ofschool children. Local communities and parents will be sensitized on child rights and the importance of children s education. To ensure accountability and sustainability of the activities, different stakeholders, including local communities, relevant provincial- and district-level government authorities, including education departments, camp authorities, members of PTCs and TIJs, will be involved to play an active role in this plan and delivery of activities. 26

27 Pakistan - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - STRATEGIC PLAN To provide a comprehensive response, the Sector/Cluster will maintain inter-sector/cluster collaboration with Health, Nutrition, Shelter, WASH Sectors/Clusters and Protection including GBV sub-clusters and thematic working groups for quality improvement of the education response, and to address children s holistic needs for overall child development. Interventions will ensure maximum enrolment of girls and boys in schools through the following strategies: a) Supporting camp schools in Jalozai, Togh Sarai and New Durrani Camps. b) Providing additional resources and support in terms of para-teachers, teaching, learning and recreational material, and school tents in primary and secondary schools in the affected host communities of KP and FATA. c) Providing capacity building support to government and para-teachers, and PTC and TIJ members on various topics: teaching in emergency, psychosocial support, life skills-based education, DRR, emergency preparedness and risk reduction. d) Reopening of damaged schools in the areas of return in FATA by establishing TLCs, minor repairs in schools, provision of school supplies, teachers training and activation of TIJs (School Management Committees).

In 2014, the number exceeded 1.6 million displaced in KP. IDPs in camps represent a small percentage of around 3 per cent of the whole displaced population. The rest live within the host communities in rented houses or with friends and relatives; placing a huge burden and strain on the host community. The Shelter Sector/Cluster objective is to assist displaced families with their basic needs. The target is to provide assistance for an estimated 860,000 IDPs, including 396,529 women and 465,490 children. Assistance will be provided to three categories of people: IDPs in camps, returnees, and IDPs living within the host community. IDPs in camps will be provided with new or replacement tents and tented shelters. Newly displaced families settling in the camps will be provided with standard NFI kits. All families in camps will receive winterized kits. As part of the first stage of their return, returnee families will receive standard NFI kits and transitional shelter or repair kits depending on the status of destruction of the houses. The Sector/Cluster will explore other options and types of shelter to replace tents with transitional shelters which will provide more protection and privacy for returnee families. Vulnerable IDPs living within the host community will receive transitional shelter or cash rental assistance. The focus will be on the female/child-headed families as the most vulnerable families. Complementing longer term plans The Sector/Cluster will work on implementing the country-level strategy in coordination and consultation with all stakeholders and will ensure coordination with other sectors/clusters in implementing the agreed strategy. The Shelter Sector/Cluster plan will be a contributing factor in achieving the second strategic objective with a protection focus by providing tents/tented shelters to give IDPs in camps more protection and privacy, and providing winterized kits as assistance to manage harsh weather conditions in the camps. The Sector/Cluster will explore different options to provide assistance to returnee families that offers a durable solution by providing transitional shelters instead of emergency tents. Response monitoring The Sector/Cluster will monitor all activities related to shelter and NFI assistance. The Sector/Cluster will ensure appropriate mechanisms are in place to monitor all projects implemented, ensure all planned activities are implemented, ensure the accountability toward the affected population, and ensure the agreed targets are achieved in this Strategic Plan. 31

Displacement brings negative impacts on the household assets, especially marginalizing the productivity of livestock assets and further aggravating food insecurity of affected populations. In IDP camps that host FATA-displaced families, there are zero or limited veterinary services and shelter, feed and watering facilities for livestock. Grazing areas around these camps are mostly barren and insufficient to provide sustenance for existing livestock. For displaced families, the possibility of retaining their animals determines the choice of living in or outside the camp. The Sector/Cluster strategy aims to address immediate hunger among IDPs and returnees, and improve and enhance nutritious food needs and the agricultural production and livelihood means that is severely susceptible. A range of assessment exercises have continued to advocate emergency food assistance as a key priority response for those still displaced or only recently able to return home as highlighted in many reports of these studies such as IVAP 2014, Detailed Food Security Assessment KP/FATA, and MIRA Bannu including assessments conducted by Sector/Cluster which specify the needs within this overall figure include 1.83 million IDPs and mostly residing with host districts of FATA and KP as Peshawar, Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, Kohat, Tank, Kurram, Nowshera, Jalozai Camp, Khyber, Lakki Marwat, Togh Sarai Camp, Hangu, Karak and New Durrani Camp. The Sector/Cluster has aligned its objectives and indicators with the humanitarian strategic objectives for the Strategic Plan The Sector/Cluster will assist these individuals in need of immediate assistance in terms of nutritionally balanced relief food rations, while protecting their food and livelihood assets through emergency livestock feed, medication, vegetable seeds, and milking kits. These are some of the critical activities identified for the response strategy of the Food Security Sector/Cluster to populations in displacement and ensuring sustainable and dignified return process. The Sector/Cluster strategy aims to address the most urgent food security and livelihoods needs of displaced families living inside and outside the IDPs camps and host communities in Bannu, D.I. Khan, Hangu, Kohat, Lakki Marwat, Nowshera, Peshawar and Tank districts of KP and returnees in Khyber, Kurram, North Waziristan, Orakzai and South Waziristan Agencies of FATA in their areas of return. 34

35 Pakistan - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - STRATEGIC PLAN Families displaced from their areas of origin or only recently able to return home are eligible for relief food assistance. This includes those displaced for protracted periods and still vulnerable and in need of external assistance. Monthly relief food distributions of a general family food basket consist of cereals fortified wheat flour or rice (80 kg), pulses (8 kg), salt (1 kg), and vegetable oil (3.7 to 4.5 kg). Emergency food distributions are maintained during the period of displacement, thereafter supplemented by a return package with an average duration of six months of assistance in the places of origin. The latter is crucial in facilitating the return process by ensuring that basic needs continue to be met despite adverse availability and access conditions at home, and allowing complementary recovery efforts to proceed unhindered by immediate food security concerns. Special consideration is given to provide food assistance to the most vulnerable groups in the communities, including the elderly, sick, disabled, children, pregnant and lactating mothers, and female- and child-headed households. FSC members ensure that general food distribution as well as all programmatic activities is conducted in a safe and dignified manner. Separate distribution counters and waiting areas are established for women at distribution points, and at which female staff are deployed. Assessment teams aim to include women where possible and beneficiary data is disaggregated by gender. In FATA areas, livestock is often the only asset women have real access to with some degree of control. This source of livelihoods if left unprotected would create a gender gap in the assistance and will have implications (in most cases) on the overall nutrition aspect of the food intake of these families. Since women and female-headed households as beneficiaries form a central component in the strategy, appropriate interventions targeting these women are a must and livestock is one of the most effective sub-sectors after agriculture. In their areas of origin, nutrition, dietary awareness and food preparation trainings are an excellent opportunity to reach women who traditionally prepare meals for families. Support to integrated homestead gardens (for growing vegetables, pulses and legumes) is a key component to support food security within these households in the short term. Agriculturedependent returnee families should be supported with agricultural and livestock support transitional return packages to ensure the rapid recovery of food security and livelihood upon return. Displaced populations have lost their prime livelihood options; relying more on negative coping mechanisms to deal with emergent contexts. Cash programming would meet the cash-based needs of the affected population and lead towards a resilient livelihood base in an emergency context. Complementing longer term plans This strategy provides an overview of the indictors and objectives of other long-term development programmes in Pakistan such UN OPII, disaster resilience, nutrition and economic growth. This strategy will help in populating the baseline data for long-term programme development in Pakistan. Following the Cluster exit, the existing structure of coordination and information management would be a potential source of human capital. Response monitoring The Food Security Cluster/Working Group ensures maximum coverage and avoid duplication through monthly 4Ws collection and will continue to provide an action-oriented platform to involve all stakeholders including Government and humanitarian partners to improve the timeliness, quality and impact of food security and livelihood assistance on the lives of disaster-impacted vulnerable communities, according to their needs and increase their resiliency. Food security-related key information is shared with Sector/Cluster partners on a regular basis with an aim to improve coordination, the quality of interventions and targeting for food security and livelihoods project interventions that will be coordinated closely with more resilient oriented livelihoods, which will focus on non-agricultural livelihoods opportunity. Improving the programme delivering quality, with sharpened attention to cross-cutting issues such as age, gender, diversity, vulnerability, protection, accountability to affected populations, will be the main priority area of the Food Security Cluster/Working Group. The Sector/Cluster will play an active role in motivating and encouraging FSC/FCWG members to use process and outcome monitoring tools that include gender, age, disability, protection and accountability. The Cluster/Working Group will continue to ensure that well-coordinated cluster partner assessments that will help in analyzing the food security situation with sex and age disaggregated data and engaging available referral mechanisms for people with disabilities and other specific needs including the use of appropriate feedback mechanisms by participating in inter agency initiatives. 35

Sector/Cluster response strategy: The Sector/Cluster s strategy focuses on increasing access and addressing critical health concerns in the affected districts of KP and agencies of FATA by ensuring effective coordination with national and local authorities, civil society and other relevant health actors. It also focuses on the early recovery needs of the returnee and stayee population in return areas of central Kurram, Orakzai, North Waziristan and South Waziristan Agencies. As a provider of last resort, the Cluster lead agency will ensure predictable actions to identify gaps and provide timely, holistic, appropriate, equitably distributed health services, including comprehensive primary health care through static and mobile clinics. Where appropriate, the lead agency will also ensure maternal neonatal and child health care, 15 PDMA

40 STRATEGIC PLAN - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - Pakistan strengthening of referral mechanisms and provision of mental health and psychosocial support, integrating agreed priority cross-cutting issues. Timely immediate assistance for the resilience of health facilities will be provided to ensure dignified access of vulnerable populations to adequate health services, medicines and supplies. The Cluster, in support to the provincial and FATA Directorates of Health, will ensure dignified and equitable access of IDPs, especially vulnerable groups like women, adolescent girls and boys, the older persons, and the disabled, to an essential package of life-saving primary health-care (PHC) services, including the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for reproductive health. This strategic objective will be achieved by rehabilitating, reconstructing and revitalizing damaged and destroyed health facilities, including water supply and storage structures. The plan ensures that government health facilities in affected areas are made operational by providing and strengthening the essential package of primary health care services, including medical equipment and supplies and providing necessary skilled human resource (male and female) via the gap-filling approach by Cluster members. The Cluster will maintain contingency stocks of key medicines for preparedness and response to alerts and outbreaks during any emergency situation, as necessary. Providing essential medicines will increase the utilization of underutilized public health facilities and the global standard of one consultation per capita per annum will be sought. Geographic stockpiling will be planned in accordance with district needs to enable immediate response to outbreak alerts. Coordinated health needs assessments will be conducted to identify critical gaps and needs and provide evidence for decision-making and planning. It will enable the Cluster to better achieve the provision of equitable, relevant and efficient health services and better resource allocation for the identified health needs, thus ensuring sustainability beyond humanitarian interventions. Information management activities will also be strengthened at all levels to guide decisions and monitor the impact of interventions. Support to provincial health authorities and community-based health teams will be ensured through the plan, to increase resilience by strengthening their capacities in risk reduction, emergency preparedness and timely and efficient response to disasters and outbreaks of communicable diseases. Community-based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) strategies will be rolled out to help in reducing, mitigating, preparing for and responding to public health risks and hence prevent avoidable mortality and morbidity. In the targeted IDP hosting districts of KP and FATA, the government does not have the resources or capacity to implement a Disease Early Warning System (DEWS) and WHO requires funding to continue supporting DEWS to respond to the epidemic threats in areas and populations at greatest risk due to: overcrowding, poverty, malnutrition, poor coverage of immunization and health services, unsafe water supply, and inadequate sanitation facilities. Provision of emergency mother and child health-care services would be ensured by equipping and strengthening selected service delivery points, including Rural Health Centres (RCs), Tehsil Headquarter Hospital (THQs) and District Headquarter Hospital (DHQ) to facilitate the provision of round-the-clock basic and comprehensive EMONC services. Members will establish a referral pathway to strengthen the community-based referral system by supporting the LHS, LHWs; provision of essential RH medicines, kits (RH/hygiene and new born kits) and equipment. They will also enhance the capacity of relevant staff in MISP and conduct other life-saving competency-based trainings to ensure the provision of quality RH services. Additionally, they will conduct RH/GBV information sessions for women, men and youth. Under-five clinics in all health facilities will be established where the Integrated Management of Newborn and Childhood Illness (IMNCI) strategy will be implemented and health-care providers would be trained on IMNCI, ENC and basic EmONC. Under-five children and their mothers living in IDP camps and hosting communities will be provided with a standard package of maternal, child health and new born care services (ANC, vaccination, multi micro nutrient supplementation and de-worming), NFIs (new born kits, clean delivery kits and LLINs), and information through Mother and Child Days/Weeks. Community-based health programmes (LHW and MNCH programmes) will be revitalized through the provision of supplies and incentives along with capacity-building so that the affected communities have access to basic maternal, new born and child health-care services at their doorsteps. The routine vaccination would be strengthened by increasing the number of vaccination sites and provision of necessary human and logistical support, with a specific emphasis on polio, measles vaccination, maternal TT and vitamin A supplementation. Moreover, mass communication and social mobilization activities would also be undertaken to enhance awareness of the masses on healthy practices and protection from diseases. Under the health promotion and protection initiative, the dissemination of key health messages, including risk awareness, mental health counselling, disaster management and First Aid support among the affected communities will be ensured to prevent major health risks among the affected population. The response will address major health risks; malnutrition; malaria and dengue fever; vaccine-preventable diseases, mother and child health; and promotion of health and hygiene among the affected displaced population. 40

41 Pakistan - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - STRATEGIC PLAN Health facilities are chronically under-staffed and under-resourced in many areas of Pakistan. Minimal supplies of essential medicine and supplies at all levels of health facilities become stretched to meet existing host community needs and the displaced population. With the addition of displaced families into hosting areas the overall health situation degenerates with overcrowded housing in host communities, poor nutrition, and general vulnerability in areas of displacement. Other factors include poor hygiene and sanitation practices breeding water-borne diseases, such as acute watery diarrhoea, dehydration and heat strokes. Critical support is needed in providing medicine, medical equipment, personnel and making basic repairs to ensure affected health facilities are fully functional. Winterized packages are needed to cope with cold weather and offset the challenge of living in tents in winter. In general, weak public health services and infrastructure practices exacerbate health problems with changes in weather conditions. Stagnant water from rains and floods, lack of winterized items and proper shelter result in airborne diseases, such as pneumonia and respiratory infections, and vector-borne diseases like Crimean Congo Haemorrhagic fever, malaria and dengue. The Cluster will continue to support the return population in the areas of return through establishment of ad hoc treatment centres, mobile health clinics, and provision of essential medicines and capacity building of health staff.

The various nutrition surveys conducted over the last three decades (National Nutrition Survey , , and 2011, and Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2007) depicts a worrying situation of malnutrition in Pakistan. Undernutrition is serious public health problem and associated with high morbidity and mortality in children and negative pregnancy outcomes among pregnant women. According to NNS 2011, an estimated 15.1 per cent children are wasted, with highest prevalence in PAK and Sindh, followed by KP and Balochistan (table 1). Table 1: Situation of Acute Malnutrition in Pakistan Although malnutrition rates varies across provinces, both GAM and SAM are above the national average and the international emergency threshold of 15 per cent and 5 per cent SAM rate except Punjab Province and Gilgit Baltistan 16. Stunting (43.7 per cent) and micronutrient deficiencies such iron and folate, vitamin A and zinc in children and pregnant women are above globally accepted thresholds. This has serious implications in terms of morbidity and mortality among target age groups. Poor child rearing practices resulted in low rate of exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding, a major contributor toward chronic malnutrition. According to the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey (PDHS) , the rate of exclusive breastfeeding among children less than six months of age is only 38 per cent, while only 19 percent children were reported with timely introduction of complementary bottle-feeding among children below two years of age is widespread. The survey also reported widespread use of bottle-feeding among children below two years of age The Management of Malnutrition in Major Emergencies, WHO, Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey, , National Institute of Population Studies (NIPS), Islamabad, Pakistan 46

Sector/Cluster members plan to reach 9 per cent of the total caseload 1.04 million: 230,302 SAM, 410,171 MAM children, 400,122 MAM PLW in 47 high priority districts. In addition to treatment of SAM and MAM cases, the services package also include prevention and treatment of anaemia and other prevailing micronutrient deficiencies among children (6 to 23 months) and PLW. Mothers and care takers will be counselled on Infant Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices at facility and community levels. Dedicated female staff will be hired and trained, breast feeding corners will be established in all supported health facilities and relevant IEC material will be produced. The Sector/Cluster lead agency will ensure close collaboration with the CCCM, Health, Food Security, WASH and CCCM Sectors/Clusters and Child Protection Sub-cluster and the focal point from the Gender Task Force to ensure all cross-cutting issues are mainstreamed and well-addressed. The locations of nutrition project interventions will be adjusted per the movement of the affected population to ensure service continuity. a) Community Outreach: Community Outreach Workers (COWs) will be trained to identify acutely malnourished children using mid-upper-arm circumference (MUAC), and will be responsible for referring clients to health centres or to agreed-upon locations of visiting mobile nutrition teams on assigned days. COWs will also communicate promotion messages on health and nutrition, follow-up with defaulters, and identify PLWs for Supplementary Feeding Programme (SFP) and care during pregnancy and in the immediate postnatal period. Simultaneously, COWs will identify cases of acute malnutrition in the community through active case searches. In each area at the village level a nutrition support committee of volunteers/mother support group will be formed and sensitized through regular meetings. In meetings, nutrition education sessions will be conducted to prevent malnutrition and promote healthy behaviour in childcare. Behaviour change communication through health, hygiene and nutrition promotion is the vital component for sustainability. This endeavour is designed to promote IYCF practices with more emphasis on exclusive breastfeeding and proper complementary feeding. COWs will work in close association with the community, form committees of females in the community and will conduct sessions to disseminate key messages. b) Targeted Supplementary Feeding Programme (TSFP): Children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) identified through community outreach will be registered with TSFPs and will be provided Acha Mum to take home twice a month. Every two weeks children in the TSFP will visit the nearest health facility, or other designated location; where they will have their nutritional status checked, and where they will be provided with Acha Mum, de-worming and micronutrient supplementation. Acute Malnourished pregnant and lactating women will also be included in the TSFP, as per Community Management of Acute 18 Caseload is based on prevalence and incidence estimates from NNS

48 STRATEGIC PLAN - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - Pakistan Malnutrition (CMAM) guidelines. Malnourished PLWs will be provided with Fortified Blended Food (FBF) and vegetable oil. The TSFP will be implemented with support from WFP. c) Outpatient Therapeutic Programme (OTP): Children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) with appetite and without complications will be treated with ready-touse therapeutic foods (RUTF) and symptomatic outpatient medications in the fixed health centres. The severely malnourished child will come to the health centre or designated location every week for medical examination and treatment, and to receive RUTF. Children without appetite and/or with complications will be referred immediately to inpatient care in stabilization centres until they are stable to be discharged. These children then continue treatment at home in the OTP with RUTF, with or without outpatient medications, as required. On discharge from the OTP, children will be referred to the SFP as moderately malnourished children. d) Stabilization Care (SC): Children without appetite and with medical complications will be treated as inpatients at stabilization centres, which will be established at district headquarters hospitals. Malnourished children with medical complications will be refer to stabilization centres from supported health facilities/otp sites for management of complications as per standard treatment guidelines and protocol. After stabilization, these children will be refer back to health facilities to be enrolled in OTP programme. Nutrition supplies (RUTF, F-75*, F-100 milk and plumpy nut) and medicines will be provided by UNICEF, while WHO will be responsible technical and operational support in all supported districts. The proposed nutrition interventions will be coordinated through the Nutrition Cluster/Working Group with other relevant clusters/working groups, including Health, Food and WASH, and implemented through sector/cluster members and departments of health. Nutrition members will prioritize activities that complement or help fill gaps identified by the government or in government-identified priority areas to meet the needs of target populations. All partners in the nutrition working group will closely coordinate their activities with UNICEF, WFP, and WHO in order to include supplies support in their plans for relevant components as per agencies mandates. The nutrition information system will be further scaled-up and implemented with close link to DHIS/Health Management Information Systems. Data will be consolidated on weekly basis and trend generated and will be shared with relevant stakeholders on regular basis. Joint monitoring visits, assessment and surveys will further strengthen the monitoring of nutrition emergency response in supported districts. Regular Sector/Cluster coordination meetings will be held at provincial and federal level to monitor progress, identify and resolve issues and avoid duplication of services in selected geographic locations. Complementing longer term plans The strategic objectives of this Strategic Plan are aligned with Pakistan Vision 2025, integrated nutrition strategy and provincial project cycle 1. The action will significantly contribute to overall government efforts and will complement longer term development plans. The intervention will also link with the UN OPII under Strategic Priority Area 6, food and nutrition security for the most vulnerable groups. The multi-sectoral nutrition strategy endorsed in all four provinces provide an overall framework to ensure programmatic and geographic convergence and linkages with other sectors. The interventions are positioned to address the critical gaps in implementing PC1 to ensure continued life-saving nutrition services. The capacity of Government counterparts will be strengthened in planning and monitoring of nutrition response to ensure quality services delivery and smooth transition from humanitarian to more focused development interventions. In line with the overall strategic approach of the humanitarian response, (i.e. respond to needs, reduce vulnerabilities and restore dignity, linking to development initiatives) members will implement priority nutrition interventions, including provision of life-saving nutrition services to acutely malnourished children, and PLW in high-priority areas. The target communities include on and off-camp IDPs, hosting communities in 12 districts of KP, and returnees in 6 FATA agencies, the flood-affected communities in 10 districts in Punjab (Chiniot, Gujranwala, Hafizabad, Jhang and Multan), 10 drought-affected districts in Sindh (Badin, Jacobabad, Kashmore, Mirpurkhas, Qambar Shehdadkot, Sanghar, Tharparkar and TM Khan and Umerkot), and 9 food insecure districts of Balochistan (Chagai, Kharan, Killa Saifullah, Lorali, Musakhel, Noshki, Pishin, Washuk and Zhob), and 5 flood-affected districts of Pakistan-administered Kashmir ([PAK] Bagh, Hattian, Haveli, Muzaffarabad and Neelum). 48

Due to the current crisis, many women and children experience various forms of violence and psychological distress, with increasing risks particularly when displaced. Cluster members will provide timely, safe and high quality child and gendersensitive preventive activities such as establishing early warning and monitoring systems through mobile protection teams, GV and child protection community committees and protective spaces through which assistance andservices can be channelled to prevent abuse and exploitation. The Cluster will strengthen mulit-sectoral referral services for the prevention and response of any type of GBV and address child protection concerns. Cluster members will support psychosocial wellbeing through community-based support to target population groups and by establishing protective spaces to facilitate access to assistance, appropriate information and services. Other preventive interventions will focus on advocacy and awareness-raising through appropriate humanitarian communication and information campaigns to minimize protection risks ensuring guidling principles are applied at all times for accountability to displaced people, host communities and returnees. Another key intervention will be outrach and engagement with Government an dother relevant actors to highlight key protection issues and encourage humanitarian, political an dother stakeholders to put appropriate prevention and response mechanisms in place. The Cluster will reinforce protection monitoring through mobile protection teams and seek to improve and strengthen its response mechanisms through grievance desks, strengthening referral pathways and community-based protection initiatives. Advocacy for humanitarian access to populations impacted by insecurity remains high on the agenda of the Cluster s response strategy. Protection coordination and capacity will be strengthened by developing key strategic partnerships at provincial and district levels, and at inter-cluster and cross-cluster levels. Protection mainstreaming within other clusters will be prioritized to expand the reach of the Protection Cluster s objectives and ensure that a rights-based approach is systematically and consistently applied. Considerable emphasis will be placed on developing protection tools and conduct of trainings to facilitate the work of district-level protection working groups and on improving information management to support protection assessments, evidence-based protection programming and thematic analyses. Finally, the cluster s strategic plan includes support for, and coordination with, all protection stakeholders, to seek practical ways to deliver protection assistance to vulnerable IDPs including women, children, older persons and people with disabilities. 53

54 STRATEGIC PLAN - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - Pakistan Complementing longer term plans The Cluster will actively support the pursuit of sustainable durable solutions, while responding to protection gaps and implementing community-based protection initiatives. This intervention is directly linked to strategic objective three as the Cluster will support the Sustainable Returns and Rehabilitation Strategy while increasing resilience among the vulnerable through targeted assistance. The Cluster will ensure that rights-based and age-gender-diversity approaches are ensured throughout the project cycle. Response monitoring No systematic monitoring has been undertaken of protection issues during displacement, but protection concerns continue to be raised with the Protection Cluster, especially regarding vulnerable groups. Monitoring and assessments are required to identify needs during displacement and to determine appropriate interventions such as advocacy, availability and access to quality multi-sectoral referral services, psychosocial support, the establishment of protective spaces for displaced women and children, and to address the specific needs of older people and people with disabilities. Monitoring at all stages of the displacement process is crucial to identify vulnerable groups and rights violations. Mobile protection monitoring teams and grievance desks will refer vulnerable IDPs to services, solve problems locally where possible and share information on persistent concerns with the Cluster for follow-up and advocacy. Monitoring during the return process is a priority to ensure that de-notified areas are safe for returns, and that decisions taken to return are informed and voluntary. Return intention surveys and post-return monitoring missions will be conducted, depending on issuance of NOCs, to support the return of the displaced populations in Cluster Objective 1: IDPs continue to benefit from and have equitable and non-discriminatory access to registration and protection services Supports Strategic Objective SO2 Indicator Baseline Target 1.

58 STRATEGIC PLAN - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - Pakistan WATER SANITATION AND HYGIENE SECTOR/CLUSTER Lead agency: United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) Contact information: Fida Hussain Shah (sfhshah@unicef.org) PEOPLE IN NEED 1.63 million $ REQUIREMENTS (US$) million PEOPLE TARGETED 648,000 # OF PARTNERS % 3.14% of the total requirement of $ million The WASH Sector/Cluster response in any humanitarian emergency forms part of life-saving interventions. The Sector/Cluster will respond to IDPs in camps, in host communities, and in areas of return in KP and FATA. As the situation extends into 2015, it is anticipated that IDPs will continue to reside in camps and hosting communities. WASH facilities are basic prerequisites in camps and must be maintained throughout the camp s lifetime. The burden on drinking water supplies and sanitation infrastructure will increase in places where IDP populations have taken, or are expected to take, refuge in host communities resulting in increased vulnerabilities to water, sanitation and hygiene-related diseases. The Sector/Cluster will provide gender disaggregated sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene services to IDP living in camps and host communities and returnees in areas of return, to prevent disease outbreaks. The Sector/Cluster will target critical needs based on the HNO, with a special emphasis on engaging communities in operating and maintaining WASH services, especially targeting children and women. The Sector/Cluster objectives will contribute to the three strategic objectives and will be guided by humanitarian principles and priorities, including Sphere Guidelines. The Sector/Cluster objectives will include: Ensuring access and provision of safe drinking water, appropriate sanitation, and promotion of safe hygiene practices to IDPs in camps. Support efforts to ensure access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities benefiting IDPs living in host communities and hosting population. Support provision of return package to returnees and implementation of living saving WASH interventions in areas of return as per sector/cluster objective 2. Ensure effective coordination of the humanitarian response programme in close collaboration with other sectors/clusters and Government, including ensuring complementarities of interventions. Enhance protection of affected communities from preventable illnesses, through routine water quality surveillance and disinfection and capacity building of local water service providers. WASH members will mainly focus on addressing humanitarian needs of complex emergency IDPs and returnees. Almost all projects will have life-saving interventions in the proposed activities. Given that the incidence of displacement will be due to insecurity the Sector/Cluster plan to develop and maintain core pipeline supplies of critical WASH items to meet needs that may emerge in The Sector/Cluster will ensure that all the WASH projects are rated as 2a on the gender marker score, meaning they are designed to adequately address gender needs. No project is rated as gender-blind. To ensure accountability to affected populations, all members were asked to involve the target population during all stages of the project cycle. 58

59 Pakistan - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - STRATEGIC PLAN Complementing longer term plans For WASH Sector/Cluster intervention in communities, community approaches for water and sanitation will be used at the time of implementation, where communities will be the focus of all interventions and government line department will be taken on board to ensure continuation of services after phasing out by the humanitarian partners. This complements all member development programmes. Response monitoring The Sector/Cluster will use two different sources for monitoring. The designated district focal people will be given responsibility to randomly verify the 4Ws data reported by members. Government counterparts will be asked to verify needs and gaps reported by Sector/Cluster members through their district offices.

Parameters of the response: The focus of UNHCR and its refugee programme partners will remain on supporting the Government in the implementation of the regional Solutions Strategy for Afghan Refugees as well as its National Policy on Management and Repatriation of Afghan Refugees, including protection, assistance and solutions initiatives. The Refugee Affected and Hosting Photo credit: UNHCR Areas programme will provide the framework for enhancing asylum space at the community level.

63 Pakistan - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - STRATEGIC PLAN Strategy The protection, assistance and solution needs of the world s largest protracted refugee population an estimated 1.5 million Afghan refugees in 2015, as well as smaller numbers of refugees of other nationalities will remain a concern for UNHCR as the mandated refugee agency and the humanitarian community. To complement the international support provided by UNHCR and partners, the Government of Pakistan has extended Afghan refugees Proof of Registration cards until the end of 2015, and provided land for several refugee villages and access of refugees to public schools and health facilities. Efforts to address the needs of Afghan refugees and their host communities and to advance durable solutions are undertaken within the framework of the regional SSAR. The second phase of the SSAR ( ) will need to be enhanced in the Afghanistan post-transition period. A portfolio of projects, focusing on access to education, healthcare and livelihoods, was developed in 2014 to facilitate the in-country implementation of the SSAR. The Government s National Policy on Management and Repatriation of Afghan Refugees of July 2013 is expected to continue to be implemented in the spirit of the SSAR. The Tripartite Agreement on Voluntary Repatriation further complements the framework. A draft refugee law is under consideration by the Government, which is also initiating an urban refugee policy. Proof of Registration cards of Afghan refugees expiring at the end of 2015 will need to be renewed to ensure continued legal status and temporary stay arrangements, and access to assistance provided by UNHCR and its partners. Voluntary repatriation remains the preferred solution in the world s largest repatriation operation, with 3.8 million refugees from Pakistan having been assisted to return to Afghanistan. The Tripartite Commission on Voluntary Repatriation s annual target of 150,000 refugees voluntarily repatriating may not be realistic in current circumstances unless factors enhancing return are created in Afghanistan, with improved security, stability, reintegration and development. As such, UNHCR is planning for voluntary repatriation of 40,000 refugees, with the possibility to cater for increased numbers as required. Assistance in key sectors will continue to be provided in refugee villages, such as water, sanitation and hygiene, education and health while also promoting access to state schools and medical facilities as part of multi-year strategies. UNHCR supports 174 schools, 53 satellite classes and 18 home-based girls schools to approximately 96,000 refugee children, predominantly in refugee villages. These schools receive teaching and learning materials and teachers benefit from trainings. Awareness campaigns as well as activities to create safe learning environments aim at increasing enrolment and decreasing drop-out rates of children, particularly of girls. In the absence of a national refugee legal framework, UNHCR and its partners continue to provide legal protection to persons of concern through the network of 11 Advice and Legal Aid Centres (ALACs) across the country. In addition to legal assistance, (for instance in cases of arbitrary arrest and detention as well as family and land disputes) ALACs also conduct legal camps and provide sensitization training to Government authorities, civil society, media, law enforcement agencies, legal fraternities, the judiciary and Pakistani communities on refugee rights and laws and the status of refugees in Pakistan. The Refugee Affected and Hosting Areas (RAHA) programme will provide community-based assistance for refugees and present and past host communities. An estimated 1 million host community members and refugees will be served by 2015 RAHA projects, adding to the 5 million who have benefited to date since As the Government of Pakistan has not established an asylum system, UNHCR continues to register asylum-seekers and conducts refugee status determination for some 8,000 individuals. An annual third-country resettlement programme by UNHCR caters for 2,200 of the most vulnerable refugees as a mechanism for international responsibility sharing. Pakistan is a pilot country for the UNHCR global Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) strategy for The country-level SGBV strategy for Pakistan focuses on enhancing prevention, as well as access to and quality of services, through stronger advocacy, partnerships and coordination; improved data collection and analysis; increased knowledge-management and capacity building; and community empowerment and participation. Given the fragility of transition in Afghanistan, with the drawdown of international forces and other security, political and economic factors, UNCT-led contingency planning will continue in collaboration with the Government for possible moderate influxes of refugees in case there is a significant deterioration in security. 63

68 STRATEGIC PLAN - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - Pakistan CORDINATION AND COMMON SERVICES CHAPTER Lead: United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Contact information: George Khoury (khouryg@un.org) $ REQUIREMENTS (US$) 8.55 million 1.97% 1.97% of the total requirement of $ million In Pakistan, OCHA, the HC, IOM and the UN security personnel provide coordination and common services to the humanitarian organizations operating in Pakistan. Humanitarian and security coordination helps enable operational effectiveness; focusing efforts to improve the overall operating environment for humanitarian action through coordination support. Coordination and common services contributes to all the strategic objectives by providing coordination and critical common services to other sectors and their partners. OCHA provides operational coordination, information management, humanitarian financing, and advocacy services to the humanitarian community to enable effective, accountable and principled humanitarian community's assistance to people affected by the complex emergency in FATA and KP and repeated natural disasters. In 2015, OCHA will continue to support the HC and the HCT to develop and implement a humanitarian strategy by managing the HPC, supporting leadership of the humanitarian coordination structures at national and provincial levels, and building national response capacity. OCHA s priorities are response coordination and supporting coordination mechanisms that effectively promote efficient and coherent delivery of humanitarian assistance to people in need. OCHA aims to support preparedness, advocacy, resource mobilization, civil-military coordination and enable access. OCHA will continue to advocate for the inclusion and interface of critical humanitarian and development issues within the appropriate UN and government developmental frameworks, including OPII, in particular in the areas of building resilience, maturing health care services, water management systems and durable solutions for displaced families. Under OP II, the UN system will link its humanitarian and early recovery operations to development priorities, including disaster risk management. Strengthening resilience takes time and requires a comprehensive, multisectoral and coordinated approach. OCHA builds capacity of government officials and national humanitarian partners on a range of topics related to disaster management, with a focus on vulnerable districts, through the inter-agency Capacity Building Programme. The UNSMS, guided by the Framework of Accountability, adheres to the three principles of engagement determination of risk, provision of adequate and substantial resources to manage risks, and development and implementation of security policies and procedures to achieve its goal to enable the conduct of UN activities while ensuring safety, security and the well-being of personnel and the security of UN premises and assets. The Designated Official, in Pakistan it is the Resident Coordinator/Humanitarian Coordinator, is supported by the UN Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS), the Chief Security Advisor, and the Field Security Coordination Officers (FSCO) deployed throughout the country. They are responsible for ensuring UN staff safety and provide security liaison support with the NGO community in all stages foreseen in an emergency. UNDSS ensures there is a security culture while providing support to UN staff and partners under the UNSMS approach of How to Stay as opposed to When to Leave. The FSCO network with security focal points of the UN Agencies, government officials and NGOs contribute towards a coordinated response to ensure that humanitarian operations can be undertaken in as safe and secure a manner as possible. UNDSS has Communication Centres and teams established throughout the country to enable an effective operational environment, informed by timely, accurate information sharing. IOM runs the Pakistan Security Awareness Induction Training that is mandatory for all UN staff and open to NGOs and donors. 68

74 STRATEGIC PLAN - INTERNAL DOCUMENT - Pakistan USEFUL TERMS 18 th Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan The amendment became an act of Parliament on 19 April 2010 after it was passed by the National Assembly on 8 April and the Senate on 15 April. The amendment devolved powers from the national to the provincial government, i.e. devolving disaster management to the provinces under PDMA. Other additions include restricting some presidential powers, renaming North-West Frontier Province to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, replacing the spelling of Baluchistan and Sind with Balochistan and Sindh, changing Pakistan to a parliamentary republic, and stating the state will provide free, compulsory education to children between 5 and 16 years. Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) The IASC is a global humanitarian forum established in June 1992 in response to General Assembly 46/182 to serve as the primary mechanism for inter-agency coordination relating to humanitarian assistance under the leadership of the Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC), who also acts as the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs. The IASC should be composed of all operational organizations with a standing invitation to the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and the International Organization for Migration. Relevant non-governmental organizations can be invited to participate on an ad hoc basis. The IASC is chaired by the ERC with members of the UN operational agencies as represented by the heads or their designate: FAO, OCHA, UNDP, UNFPA, UNHABITAT, UNHCR, UNICEF, WFP and WHO. Standing invitees are ICRC, IFRC, IOM, Office for the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Office of the Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of IDPs, the World Bank and the NGO consortia International Council of Voluntary Agencies, InterAction and Steering Committee for Humanitarian Response. The IASC s overall objective is inclusive coordination.in practice no distinction is made between members and standing invitees. Membership subject to continuous review with operational defined with the characteristics of provision of humanitarian assistance protection or material aid and deployment of staff to assist affected populations with immediate needs. Transformative Agenda The IASC Transformative Agenda is a set of concrete actions aimed at transforming the way in which the humanitarian community responds to emergencies. It focuses on improving the timeliness and effectiveness of the collective response through stronger leadership, more effective coordination structures, and improved accountability for performance and to affected people. The Transformative Agenda builds on the 2005 Humanitarian Reform Agenda which introduced new elements to enhance predictability, accountability and partnership; recognizing the need to tackle persistent weakness in the humanitarian community s collective response capacity. The Transformative Agenda focuses on three key areas: leadership, coordination and accountability. The Humanitarian Coordinator, the Humanitarian Country Team, country clusters and cluster lead agencies remain the prime actors supporting national response efforts, and the Transformative Agenda seeks to further strengthen these actors. Cluster Approach The Cluster Approach was introduced under the Humanitarian Reform Agenda. Clusters are groups of humanitarian organizations, both UN and non-un, in each of the main sectors of humanitarian action designated by the IASC with clear responsibilities for coordination. The core functions of a cluster at the country-level are: 1. Supporting service delivery by providing a platform for agreement on approaches and elimination of duplication; 2. Informing strategic decision-making of the HC/HCT for the humanitarian response though coordination of needs assessment and gap analysis and prioritization; 3. Planning and strategy development including sectoral plans, adherence to standards and funding needs; 4. Advocacy to address identified concerns on behalf of cluster participants and the affected population;5. Monitoring and reporting on the cluster strategy and results; recommending corrective action where necessary; and 6. Contingency planning/preparedness/capacity building where needed and where capacity exists within the cluster. Each cluster is also responsible for integrating early recovery from the outset of the humanitarian response. The Resident/Humanitarian Coordinator may recommend an Early Recovery cluster also be established. 74

It represents a commitment of cluster leads to do their utmost to ensure an adequate and appropriate response. It is necessarily circumscribed by some basic preconditions that affect any framework for humanitarian action, namely unimpeded access, security, and availability of funding. Where there are critical gaps in humanitarian response, it is the responsibility of cluster leads to call on all relevant humanitarian partners to address these. If this fails, then depending on the urgency, the cluster lead as provider of last resort may need to commit itself to filling the gap. If, however, funds are not forthcoming for these activities, the cluster lead cannot be expected to implement these activities, but should continue to work with the Humanitarian Coordinator and donors to mobilize the necessary resources. Likewise, where the efforts of the cluster lead, the Humanitarian Country Team as a whole, and the Humanitarian Coordinator as the leader of that team are unsuccessful in gaining access to a particular location, or where security constraints limit the activities of humanitarian actors, the provider of last resort will still be expected to continue advocacy efforts and to explain the constraints to stakeholders. For cross-cutting areas such as Protection, Early Recovery and Camp Coordination, the concept of provider of last resort will need to be applied in a differentiated manner. In all cases cluster leads are responsible for ensuring that wherever there are significant gaps in the humanitarian response they continue advocacy efforts and explain the constraints to stakeholders. In the case of emergency shelter, IFRC s commitments are described in an MOU between IFRC and OCHA. IFRC has not Comitted to being provider of last resort nor is it accountable to any part of the UN system It will, however, do its utmost to ensure an adequate and appropriate response as far as the network s capacities, resources, as well as the access and security situation allow. 20 IASC, Operational guidance on the concept of provider of last resort, 20 June
