ChallengesDonors’ commitment at the early stages of Early Recovery is critical for the restoration of livelihoods Some districts of Sindh and Balochistan remained inundated after the floods which made the

efficiency for irrigated agriculture for the 2011 Kharif cropping season risky Indebtedness in flood-affected areas, so income generation activities should be focused Lack of long term institutional arrangements between line departments in flood affected provinces

Response StrategyFirst Priority Area: Five districts of Sindh and one of Balochistan still severely inundated by flood waters in November, 10 not able to plant a 2010/2011 Rabi cropSecond Priority Area: Districts of Kashmir, KP, Punjab and additional districts of Balochistan and Sindh not able to plan a 2010/2011 Rabi cropThird Priority Area: Rehabilitation of FMWCs in all severely flood affected districts of Kashmir, KP, Punjab, Balochistan and SindhFourth Priority Area: Livelihood restoration of small farmers in all severely affected districts of Kashmir, KP, Punjab, Balochistan and Sindh

ChallengesThe upcoming season can hinder the construction process and the monsoon rains can cause further destruction and disrupt reconstruction activities To ensure that the commitments are actualized, that parity among the provinces in terms of commitment of the ORS is reached, and that not-registered activities also follow technical guidelines to enable “build back better”. Local resources to rebuild are limited and knowledge on how to rebuild better against the risks of floods and earthquakes is not widely disseminatedTo ensure all IDPs affected by the floods, living in temporary conditions such as camps and secondary settlements, return to their places of origin

Response StrategyOnly completely destroyed (CD) houses are being targeted to provide support to people without permanent shelter A household with a destroyed house shall be supported with an approx. 20 sq.m large One Room Shelter as a first Early Recovery core room, which will be later extended towards a houseThe Transitional Shelters that do not comply with DRR shall not be promoted or supported.Early Recovery shall be cost efficient by applying well known construction methods and the use of local materials. To promote ownership and to lower costs, beneficiaries shall participate according to their capacity. All material and labour shall be provided to extremely vulnerable households
