March 2017 – Pakistan continues to face multiple humanitarian crises, including conflict-induced displacement in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province; a large contingent of Afghan refugees; high levels of malnutrition; and vulnerability to natural disasters. Since 2009, the country has experienced significant displacement of people as a result of the military led security operations in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). An estimated 3.4 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in 2017. With GAC’s support, CARE Canada is providing livelihood support and increased access to drinking water for up to 26,600 conflict-affected and internally displaced/ returned populations in North Waziristan Agency in the FATA. Project activities include: (1) rehabilitating up to 18 water supply systems; (2) conducting up to 250 hygiene promotion sessions; (3) providing gender-sensitive cash-for-work and unconditional cash assistance to up to 6,000 people; and (4) facilitating the registration of up to 3,750 women and 1,600 men with the national government for the purpose of obtaining national identity cards.
