I)Organizational Context and Scope

In the 2022 Monsoon, Pakistan experienced an unprecedented amount of rainfall resulting in mega flooding, that submerged an estimated one-third of the country in water. Similarly, more than 33 million people have been impacted by the monsoon floods in the country since mid-June 2022.  The areas that have sustained the most severe damage are within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Baluchistan, and Sindh provinces. Consequently, till date, 72 districts across Pakistan have been declared ‘calamity hit’ by the Government of Pakistan (GoP).

The Community Resilience Activity-North (CRA-N) Project is designed to support community-level disaster risk reduction, resilience and conflict prevention activities within the flood-affected districts in all three provinces; In order to help the current flood-hit communities, CRA-North aims to address various needs of people ensuring that they ‘build back better’ with reduced vulnerabilities and become resilient communities.  CRA-North pursues a multi-disciplinary and community-participatory approach to work in close coordination with the GoP at the district, regional and national levels.
