The devastating floods that hit Pakistan during the last monsoon rains (June –August 2010) ravaged homes and agricultural land and affected more than 18 million people. While the recovery process has started in several areas, there are large population groups whose livelihoods have been impacted to such a degree they will likely need some form of assistance for the coming two years, if not longer, to ensure day to day food security and to rebuild their productive assets.
Considering the prolonged effects of the monsoon floods and the still-unmet needs of the affected population, the Pakistan Emergency Food Security Alliance (PEFSA), formed by six reputable INGOs, namely ACF, ACTED, CARE, IRC, Oxfam GB and Save the Children, is determined to continue working as an Alliance in order to maximise effectiveness in the response. Oxfam GB has been appointed by the Alliance partners as the Coordinating Agency.
In January 2011, the Government of Pakistan had decided to shift the focus from relief to recovery and declared the relief phase of the response plan to be at an end. The Government announced that relief activities would continue in four districts of Sindh and one district of Balochistan until end of March 2011. As relief phase ends, United Nations, development partners and the National Disaster Management Authority constitute an Early Recovery Working Group to coordinate early recovery activities with a focus on 29 most-affected districts till December 2011.
The first phase of the PEFSA response has been completed by all agencies by April 2011 and now the Alliance is seeking funding from ECHO to implement the second phase of the program in the flood affected districts from June 2011 to March 2012.
The Alliance Partners have developed a common needs analysis, intervention approach and strategy. This includes common logical framework, target groups and programmatic modalities. The aim of the program is to support consumption of sufficient quantity and quality of nutritious food and promote the rehabilitation and restoration of self reliance of flood affected communities in a manner that upholds their dignity through cash transfer http://ping.fm/dyI4K
