- Nature of the consultancy:
Category A Consultancy: Support the development, delivery and implementation of the CCCM Program in Pakistan for the floods response through development of implementation and monitoring plans, technical tools and guidelines, partnerships, as well as provision of capacity building for staff and implementing partners.
- Project Context and Scope:
Since the mid of June 2022, up to 33 million people have been affected by severe monsoon weather. The storms and heavy rains have caused widespread flash floods and landslides, with severe repercussions for human lives, property, housing, and infrastructure. Estimates range from 20 per cent of water systems to be damaged in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 30 per cent in Balochistan and up to 50 per cent in the hardest hit areas of Sindh and Punjab provinces. Limited access to water and disruption of water distribution networks have increased the risk of unhygienic practices, leading to waterborne diseases.
