It has continued to highlight obstacles that exist in accessing health care and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies. Those working for this independent organisation do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations.

MdM currently works in 46 countries across all continents where it focuses on 4 priority areas: caring for the health of migrants and displaced persons, promoting sexual and reproductive health, combating HIV and reducing the harm and risks associated with drug use, crises and conflicts.

MdM has been working in Pakistan since 1996. The organization currently implements 3 main projects:

• A post emergency program focusing on access to health care for the populations afflicted by the conflict in KPK and/or natural disasters

Since May 2009, the Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa province (KPK, ex-North West Frontier Province) experienced several crises, following continuous military interventions in various locations which resulted in massive displacements of populations. MdM has been operating to provide access to health care services to both displaced and host populations in KPK.

The health system in KPK, and in particular in the areas where a large number of IDPs have settled, appears to be over-burdened and unable to respond to the increased demand. Indeed, qualified human resources are insufficient; most of the health facilities are partially damaged; drugs and equipment are often not available and the referral system is not functional.

MdM is operating in 4 districts of KPK (Kohat, Hangu, Tank and Peshawar) and implements both short-term or long-term response according to the needs and IDPs movements in the province.

• A long term program focusing on Gender based violence in Punjab province Violence against women (VAW) continues to be a major problem in Pakistan. Patriarchal values, embedded in tribal and feudal traditions, provide support to customary practices and to what are commonly known as honour killing, while perpetrators often escape punishment. Tracking cases of VAW remains a challenge in a country where the majority of cases go unreported, especially the ones related to domestic violence, still considered as a private matter.

The Social Welfare Department (SWD) of Punjab Province has dedicated a specific institution, the Dar-ul-Aman (DUA) i.e “House of Peace” in support to women victim of violence in early 80s. The DUA is a temporary shelter for those women who feel that their security is at stake or need an alternative residence, as under threat. In 2012, 11.871 women and 2.938 children have been admitted across the 34 DUAs of Punjab.

The collaboration between MdM and SWD related to the support to DUAs has started in 2004, when DUAs were existing in 8 districts of Punjab only. These shelter homes were rather overcrowded sub-jails facing challenging hygienic conditions, where care and support services for women and their children were not available and abuse of residents by staff was frequently reported. MDM has been piloting the effectiveness and acceptance of multidisciplinary services to DUA’s residents by providing medical, legal and psychological support while progressively scaling up from 8 to 34 DUAs (one per province districts). In 2012, MdM and SWD agreed to incorporate a protection component to the current project aiming at strengthening the existing reporting mechanisms of abuses occurring within DUA. The phasing out strategy the project has been extended accordingly until end of December 2014.

In addition, ACTED has been providing monitoring, evaluation, information management to a wide range of stakeholders in Pakistan to promote humanitarian coordination and effectiveness.

ACTED has been present in Pakistan since 1993, when it registered its first office in Peshawar. Since, we have developed extensive experience in programmes focusing on emergency response, local governance and community mobilisation, on and off-farm livelihoods support, education and vocational training, community-based rehabilitation and construction, shelter, water and sanitation and health and hygiene. In addition, ACTED has been providing monitoring, evaluation, information management to a wide range of stakeholders in Pakistan to promote humanitarian coordination and effectiveness.

In recent years, ACTED has provided extensive emergency and early recovery assistance to disaster-affected families in Pakistan. This assistance has included shelter construction, food distributions, the provision of clean water and sanitation facilities, hygiene campaigns and support for the resumption of livelihoods activities through the distribution of seeds, livestock and farming tools, the promotion of home-based micro-businesses for women and cash for work schemes including the rehabilitation of community productive infrastructure.

In 2001-2002, the organisation provided assistance over 20,000 displaced Afghan refugee families in Pakistan. ACTED was a leading actor in responding to the massive 2005 earthquake, which took 75,000 lives and affected over 100,000 others in eastern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).

In 2009, following the displacement of over three million people in KPK, ACTED provided support to IDP populations throughout Swat, Nowshera, Buner, Lower Dir and Upper Dir districts.

ACTED’s mission in Pakistan expanded into Punjab and Northern Sindh provinces following the unprecedented monsoon floods that swept across Pakistan in July 2010, claiming 1,700 lives, destroying close to 1.8 million homes and affecting a total of over 20 million people across the country. In 2011, as floods in lower Sindh affected a further 9.2 million people, destroying over 315,000 homes and leaving 43% of local populations severely food insecure, ACTED was able to immediately provide emergency relief to flood-affected families drawing upon its strong presence and experience of the local context.

Today, ACTED’s experienced team of 700 national staff and 11 international staff continues to support the relief, recovery and development needs of conflict- and flood-affected communities in four districts of KPK (Swat, Upper Dir, Lower Dir and Kohat), six districts of Sindh (Kashmore, Jacobabad, Shikarpur, Mirpur Khas, Sanghar and Umerkot), one district of Punjab (D.G. Khan) and two agencies of FATA (Orakzai and Bajaur), ensuring access to remote or complex areas and the relevance and effectiveness of our programmes.

Areas prone to or affected by natural disasters across the country will be targeted under the scope of this four-year programme, funded through Pillar One of United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID)’s MYHP for Pakistan. Preparedness activities will remain flexible and inclusive, incorporating standardized tools, standby arrangements, capacity development, partnerships, and prepositioning. Response will be timely and needs-based, informed by coordinated assessments and comprising Shelter/NFI and WASH distributions, service provision, and time-critical FSL support for livestock owners.
