    Parts of Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province andAzad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK)were badly damaged in the 7.6magnitude earthquake of 2005that claimed more than 74,000lives, leveled 272,000 buildings

    including 585 healthcarefacilities and 15,000 educationalbuildings and rendered some3.5 million people homeless.

    The destruction reached outover 30,000 square kilometers.

    As humanitarian response, TheUS Agency for InternationalDevelopment (USAID)committed to reconstruct 77

    buildings in the earthquake-affected areas of Azad Jammuand Kashmir (AJK) andMansehra district of Khyber

    Pakhtunkhwa (KP), that wereamong the most-damagedareas.

    USAID's PakistanReconstruction Program (PRP)was started on October 27,

    2006 as a five year $120 millioncontract for earthquake-relatedreconstruction. In June 2011,the program ceiling was raisedto $137 million to reconstructmore schools in both thedistricts.

    Now, all 77 buildings have beencompleted and furnishedincluding 15 basic health units, a

    large hospital, and 61 girls' andboys' schools (27 schools inBagh & 34 schools in Mansehra).

    4/28

    In addition to above grant,through additional funds ofUSD 43 million, USAID PakistanReconstruction Program is alsobuilding, Jacobabad Institute ofMedical Sciences in Jacobabadcity of Sindh province,academic blocks in 6universities of Pakistan,renovating Institute ofEducation & Research buildingin Punjab University andrehabilitating about 40 schoolsin flood affected areas in Sindhand Balochistan.

    A state-of-the-art Gynaecologyand Fistula Ward at Karachi's

    Jinnah Postgraduate MedicalCenter (JPMC) has alreadybeen completed, furnished, andhanded over to the concernedauthorities.

    USAID Pakistan ReconstructionProgram worked in close liaisonwith Pakistan's state institutionsincluding EarthquakeReconstruction and

    Rehabilitation Authority(ERRA), provincial educationand health authorities, localPakistani firms, and localcommunities.

    According to UN and OECDdata, the US Government is thelargest donor of humanitarianassistance to Pakistan whichreached out to all provinces ofthe country including Azad

    Jammu and Kashmir.

    This U.S. effort is part of abroader partnership betweenthe two countries to helpPakistan's infrastructural growthand enhance access to qualityeducation and healthcare.

    Across all these prioritysectors, USAID also seeks to

    enhance gender equality andstrengthen governanceprocesses.

    Build Back Better was the aimof the program focusingearthquake-resistant buildings

    built better than the onesdamaged in the 2005earthquake.

    Designs for these 77 buildingswere preceded by severalnecessary steps, including

    CONTEMPORARY ENGINEERING

    technical and social feasibilitystudies.

    Once sites were selected, thetechnical and design teams(comprising engineers,architects, land and quantitysurveyors, environmentspecialists, and socialmobilizers) developed the

    designs with community input.

    To meet international building

    codes, numerous steps weretaken such as; computermodeling techniques,independent design checkingand verification requiringcomputer-based calculations,several drawings and many

    5

  • 8/13/2019 6th Year Brochure 2013 PRP

    6/28

    construction specifications formaterial and equipment whichwas to be used.

    The social assessmentascertained the local needs anddemands for the new buildingand willingness of thecommunities to participate;while the environmental

    assessment looked atenvironmental considerations.

    Besides considerations toprotect natural life around sites,designs also provided septictanks and soakage pits toensure minimal impact to theenvironment.

    Durability and long termmaintenance were alsoconsidered to ensure thatbuildings serve theircommunities for a long time.

    Design of each building underthis program took into accounta complete study of genderanalysis, climate data, futurewater requirements, and

    sustainability and energyefficiency factors.

    All the buildings were designedto meet international standardsand provided access for thedisabled.

    The design criteria included allaspects related to electrical,civil, structural, andarchitectural specifications.

    For instance, the designconsiderations in electricalworks ensured adequatelighting and ventilation in allrooms and offices.In the civil works it ensuredproper sanitation, drainage ofrain water and provision of safedrinking water.

    It was ensured that all buildingsreconstructed under thisprogram were structurally safe

    meeting appropriate designcodes such as Unified BuildingCodes-97 (UBC 97).

    Architectural considerationsvaried according to the areaand the type of building.

    Everything in this project was

    very open and transparent, we

    knew the design, cost, construction

    schedule and quality of the

    material.

    Construction of the buildings isthe on-ground implementationof the design concepts based on

    the analytical studies such asclimate and genderconsiderations, and end-users'present and futurerequirements.

    All construction under theUSAID Pakistan ReconstructionProgram was carried out byPakistani contractors who werepre-qualified based on their

    technical and financialcapabilities, timely performancerecords, and their work

    experience in those areas.

    The quality of construction was

    supervised by constructionmanagement team ofengineers/inspectors hired anddeployed by the Program.

    From a pool of pre-qualifiedcompanies, the USAID projectselected contractors for eachsmall group of two-to-sevenbuildings and awarded contractsbased on competitive bidding.

    During the early years of theproject, local contractors were

    not familiar with theinternational health, safety,environment and construction

    quality control standards andprocedures.

    With assistance and guidancefrom the project's engineersand inspectors at every site,local contractors becameskilled at carrying outconstruction works that metinternational standards.

    STATE-OF-THE-ART CONSTRUCTION

  • 8/13/2019 6th Year Brochure 2013 PRP

    8/28

    Building schools and clinics inPakistan's earthquake areas ofKP and AJK proved challengingas most of the locations weredifficult to access, had limitedand restricted constructionarea, and had challengingweather conditions along withthe shortage of skilled laborand construction materials in

    these areas.

    This created a very demandingenvironment for theconstruction but project madeprogress as scheduled.

    In the earthquake area,construction has beencompleted on 77 buildings inAzad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK)and Mansehra district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province.

    These buildings include 34schools in Mansehra while 15basic health units, 27 schools and

    one hospital building in AJK; all ofwhich have been completed andhanded over to the provincialeducation and healthdepartments.

    9/28

    Long before the constructionstarted, the USAID program'ssocial team got communitiesready for construction.

    They started by public meetingswhere the communities,

    stakeholders, and end-users gottogether and discussed thedesign specifications accordingto their own requirements.

    For reconstruction in theearthquake-affected areas, thecommunities were led to formor re-activate SchoolManagement Committees(SMCs in AJK), Parent Teacher

    Councils (PTCs in KP), orHealth ManagementCommittees (HMCs).

    GRASSROOTS COMMUNITYINVOLVEMENT

    The goal of organizing localpeople was two-fold: firstly toprevent or solve many of thecommon community-relatedproblems in construction; andsecondly, for the committees tomonitor education and health

    services and share responsibilitywith the government formaintaining the new buildings.

    Community participation in thisproject was a systematic, step-by-step process.After introductory publicmeetings, the process moved onobtaining a detailed written

    agreement between thecommunity members andcontractors on community-related problems.

    9

  • 8/13/2019 6th Year Brochure 2013 PRP

    10/28

    Usually, such problems includeissues of land ownership, landuse, access across privateproperty, use of scarce waterand electricity resources, landfor dumping materials, behaviorof laborers and many othersuch factors.

    Facilitated by a team of social

    mobilizers, the writtenCommittee-ContractorAgreements also detailed howthe parties would communicatewith each other and howconflicts would be prevented orresolved.

    One of the main projectsuccesses is how socialmobilizers, engineers, othertechnical staff, the contractors'workers, and communitymembers worked together on adaily basis at the constructionsites.

    Detailed coordination, clear

    agreements, frequentcommunication helped keep theconstruction on schedule andbenefited the communities,schools, and health facilities inmany ways.

    Most of the schools built had afurnished library room for thefirst time but no books.

    LIBRARY CHALLENGE

    The SMCs and PTCs werechallenged by the project teamto donate at least one librarybook per student and it wasagreed that the staff andvolunteers of CDM Smith & theconstruction contractors,

    would do the same. There wasno project budget for this so allthe funds had to be raised.

    Again, the committeesenthusiastically accepted thischallenge and by the 7th year ofthe project the initial goalswere exceeded. Although poor,these communities donated23,000 books for their 18, 000

    students in KP and AJK.

    This number was matched bythe Project voluntary

    contribution of 44,000 booksfor these schools.

    When the funds were raised,the local book stores in theseremote locations could notfulfill the requirements for in

    such large quantities.

    The project team facilitated thecommunities by arranging twobook fairs (in 2009 and 2011) inKashmir where publishers fromaround the country werebrought and these events wereattended by an estimated33,000 people. Now in thesemany remote areas where

    there are no other public orprivate libraries, each of theseschools have a library.

    11

  • 8/13/2019 6th Year Brochure 2013 PRP

    12/28

    The 77 facilities designed andreconstructed under thisUSAID program occupy a gross

    covered area of over 1.1 millionsq. ft. in the remotest locationsincluding Forward Kahuta,Kaghan, and Naran with anaverage altitude of 5,500 feet.

    DESIGN & RECONSTRUCTION FACTS

    Approximately 213 localPakistani staff, 4 localarchitectural and engineering

    design firms, 12 localconstruction contractors, andover 250 local suppliers wereengaged by the program toaccomplish this goal.

    In this program, 61 schoolswere reconstructed whichcomprise of total 658

    classrooms, 121 sciencelaboratories, and 701 toilets.

    10,750 tons of steel was usedfor reconstruction of thesebuildings and over 8,000 designsheets were produced.

    USAID Pakistan ReconstructionProgram has reconstructed 61schools in the earthquakeaffected areas of district Bagh inAzad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK)and in Mansehra district ofKhyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP)

    province.

    RECONSTRUCTION OFEARTHQUAKE-DAMAGED SCHOOLS

    As the project ends this year, allschools have been completedand handed over to localauthorities in these areas.

    The schools reconstructedunder this program have

    18, 000 students from 556villages having population of800,000 people.

    Before this school was

    constructed we were sitting on

    stones on the ground, and in the

    rainy season it was a big problem.

    Now we have a beautiful building

    and a library with interesting story

    books.We love our school very

    much! Muneer Ahmed, student at

    GBMS Chaknari, AJK.

    In line with the US government'scommitment for better publichealth in Pakistan, the program

    also reconstructed healthcarefacilities in Bagh district of AzadJammu and Kashmir.

    Fifteen Basic Health Units(BHUs) were completed and arenow operational serving over300,000 people.

    These basic health units havebeen completed in some of the

    most difficult locations in thisarea with some sites at analtitude of 5500 feet such as Seri

    Piran, Chowki, and Kala Mula.

    A big hospital in Dhirkot tehsil

    of Bagh has been constructedwith an OPD facility to serve200 patients daily and benefit apopulation of 80,000 from theadjoining areas.

    It is a 51-bed facility having70,000 square feet area and 6wards including emergency,gynaecology ward, intensivecare unit (ICU), pediatrics, and

    outpatient department with sixadditional rooms for residentconsultants.

    In addition a prefabricatedbuilding of 5,000 square feetcovered area was provided to

    run the temporary Rural HealthCenter (RHC).

    The existing RHC building wasretrofitted and madeearthquake resistant.

    This Project remained uniquedue to its coordination with alldepartments including ERRA,DRU, PERRA and especially

    communities.

    This enabled the constructionto go smoothly and on time asthere were efforts for conflictresolution at every stage. Thisway the project succeeded incompleting construction well intime. Mr. Shahab, ProgramManager DistrictReconstruction Unit (DRU),

    Mansehra.

    During the earthquake 2005many schools collapsed or werebadly damaged. These schools

    did not have proper buildingsand collapsed causing most ofthe causalities. Now USAID hasbuilt earthquake resistantbuildings for 34 of theseschools in Manserha.

    They have given us good,beautiful, spacious and qualitybuildings having no parallel.

    Moreover, they furnished ourschools and provided books forlibraries. Education Departmentthanks USAID for this qualitywork.Mr. Salahuddin, ExecutiveDistrict Officer Mansehra.

    I presented project brochurein the session of AJK LegislativeAssembly which led to the up-gradation of some of theUSAID-built schools because ofspacious buildings constructedin accordance with internationalstandards. For example, GGIC

    Rerrah has been up-graded asDegree College which is a realbenefit for community and alsoGGHS Thub has been up-graded as an Inter-College in afar flung area. We thank USAIDthat after successful completionof the project, it has handed-over pre-fabricated buildings,containers, and other essentialequipment and furniture to theFirst Women University of AzadJammu & Kashmir in Bagh., Mr.Saradr Qamar-Uz-Zaman Khan(Minister for Health, State ofAzad Jammu & Kashmir).

    USAID reconstructionprogram was an extraordinaryand marvelous project ofreconstruction in district Bagh

    Community participation is a

    new trend which wasintroduced here andcommunities were practicallyinvolved in re-construction ofschools. Mr. Raja MohammadRoshan Johar (DistrictEducation Officer, Boys' Schools,Bagh, AJK).

    Temporary tent set up wasprovided for schools till the

    completion of schools in theUSAID project and after thatthose tents were handed-overto education department.

    Libraries have achieved a

    milestone and it's first ever thatUSAID project has establishedsuch unique libraries withqualitative and selective books.

    This project will beremembered ever in history.I don't think this constructionwill be matched by anyone inthe future because of uniquedesigns, earthquake-resistant

It was an AIDproject but local technicians,labors and even local resourceswere used which was another

    productive impact on businessand human resources.Mr. Sardar Mohammad SaleemKhan (District EducationOfficer Girls' Schools, Bagh,AJK).

    USAID completed projects ingiven time frame with excellentcoordination with DistrictReconstruction Unit (DRU) and

    other stakeholders. DRU ofBagh will always appreciate thecontribution of USAID in thereconstruction of schools andhealth facilities.USAID has constructed highschools and health facilities in

    Bagh with high quality standardsand has implemented ERRA'svision of build back better, Mr.Akhtar Dar (Acting ProgramManager DRU).

    When the earthquake struck,everybody rushed outside andI fell down in the stampede andthen my school buildingcollapsed. To my luck, I survivedbut got wounded badly. Sincethen we have been studyingunder the sky, but now I amgraduating. I am very happy tosee the new school constructedthousands of time better than

    the previous building.Muhammad Irfan, Student atGovernment Boys High School,Pinyali, Bagh (AJ&K).

    The difference between thisnew building and the one which

    collapsed is like the differencebetween the sky and the earth.I have never seen such a strongmixture of steel and concretedesigned in a way to sustainsevere quake shocks. Thanks for

    saving our future generations.Gul Zaman, Chairman SchoolManagement Committee atGovernment Boys High School,Dhal Qazian (Bagh).

    With the first jolt, I ran out ofoffice and school buildingcollapsed just behind me.

    Besides current worksunderway meeting the samestandards, earthquakereconstruction component ofUSAID's PakistanReconstruction Program (PRP)was an inspiring combination ofinternational design and buildstandards and local expertisemaking the project an example

    of global standards of qualitygetting in sync with localcontext.

    The project core team from theonset helped in establishingstandard operating procedures.They continued the process ofrevisiting and improving theseprocedures during the lifecycleof the project. A transparent

    and rigorous pre-qualificationand selection process for sub-contractors as well as for hiring

    LESSONS LEARNED

    local staff was instituted.Formal and informal trainingsessions were conducted forintroducing and making themconversant with internationalcontractual and technicalrequirements.

    The hall mark of this projectwas grassroots community

    involvement. Clear guidelineswere established on how thesocial and technical teamswould work to support eachother. Technical teams benefitedfrom engaged and activecommunities and participatoryassessment was performedregularly.

    Community and other

    stakeholders' inputs weresolicited and incorporated indesigns. This helped in their

    taking ownership of thesebuildings.Strong capacities of localpeople; their influences on eachother and local knowledgewere practically recognizedduring this project.

    The project worked with

    existing local groups or formednew community-based groupslike Parents-TeachersCommittees or SchoolManagement Committees(SMCs) for community anddirect beneficiary involvement.

    As part of the participatoryprocess, these local committeeswere encouraged to take

    responsibility for long termmaintenance of the newbuildings.

    The project had a social teamwhich helped coordinatebetween communities, theengineers, other technicalspecialists and managedexpectations on both sides.

    A project's Notice to Proceedwas not issued to thecontractor until that agreementwas made.

    This project experiencehighlights the importance ofcommunity involvement andparticipatory developmentprocess which at times is

    overlooked by infrastructuredevelopment projects.

    Taking this factor into accountat an early stage helps in savingtime that may be wasted due tounnecessary protests, workstoppages, and court cases oncethe construction starts.

    Construction material such assteel, cement, doors, windows,

    tiles etc which were subject toprice escalations, wereprocured by the CDM Smithdirectly and provided to sub-contractors as part of contract.This helped in reducing

    speculative bidding, costefficiency due to bulkprocurement, and maintaininguniformity and quality ofmaterial.

    Overall programming, planningand design criteria wereestablished in closecoordination with allstakeholders before embarking

    on large scale design program.

    The project team followed theinternational standards fordesign and construction.Facilities were designed for lowmaintenance costs.

    Sustainability was focused fromdesigning stage to constructionand durable materials wereused.

    Ease of replacement, cost andfuture availability were criteriafor selection of materials andengineered wood was usedinstead of natural solid wood asa consideration for theenvironment.

    This project has followedinternational seismic codeswhile designing the facilities.

    Reinforced block masonry wallswere used and clear entry andexit points were ensured forsafe evacuation in case of anyemergency.

    Special consideration was givento local norms and culture; suchas higher boundary walls forgirls' school etc.PRP-constructed buildings alsoavoided stone masonry wallsbecause those are more likelyto collapse during earthquakeputting the building and lives ofthe inmates at a higher risk.

    The designs used reinforcedblock masonry walls andreinforced concrete retainingwalls.

    Active stakeholder engagement,community participation, worldclass design standards, andearthquake-resistantconstruction, along with timelycompletion make this project asuccess story.

    This is a memorable gift from the American people. We are living in the most remote

    area in the forest and our old school building was ruined in the disaster of 2005.We were hopeless as everything was completely destroyed but now, thanks to

    USAID, we are getting education in a peaceful environment.
