Geneva, 11 May 2012

The monsoon rains that started in the second week of August 2011, evolved into a large-scale disaster, causing damage in various parts of the country and further increased the difficulties of the flood-affected population. Decreased accessibility and disrupted communication links made the relief operations more challenging.  Sindh was the worst affected province where monsoon rains affected 22 out of 23 districts, whereas Mirpurkhas, Badin, Sanghar, Tando Allahyar, Tando Mohammad Khan, Dadu, Thatta and Shaheed Benazirabad were among the worst affected districts. According to National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) as of October 19, the monsoon rains had affected over 9.7 million people (35 percent women) in Sindh. 

ACT forum members in Pakistan are Church World Service, Pakistan/Afghanistan - CWS-P/A, ICCO and Kerk in Actie, Norwegian Church Aid – NCA and Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe – DKH and Christian Aid – CA.   CWS – P/A, ICCO and KerkinActie and NCA have, through this ACT appeal, provided assistance in the areas of food and non-food items, health, water and sanitation, shelter, food security and livelihoods.  CWS and ICCO and KerkinActie activities have now come to a closure as per the original approved dates.

This revision 1 includes a revision of the NCA proposal only, to take into consideration adjustments made to activities and budget in the crisis phase due to actual allocated funding at the time.  In the post crisis phase, NCA is including new, early recovery WASH activities (with a new partner) to support more families in need of humanitarian support.

NCA is also requesting an extension of one month only (closure date will be 31 December 2012 instead of 30 November 2012) to enable them to carry out the extra activities planned.
