March 2018 – Pakistan continues to face multiple humanitarian crises, including conflict-induced displacement; 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. More than 40,000 families still remain displaced in host communities and require humanitarian support. For those who are able to return, conditions are difficult due to significant damage to community infrastructure, water supply systems and educational and health centres. The country is currently hosting more than 1.3 million Afghan refugees and more than 600,000 undocumented Afghans. With GAC’s support, the Pakistan Humanitarian Pooled Fund provides timely allocations to national and international non-governmental organizations as well as United Nations agencies to address some of the most critical humanitarian needs in Pakistan. Project activities include: (1) supporting life-saving activities while filling critical funding gaps; (2) strengthening coordination and leadership within the humanitarian response; (3) improving the relevance and coherence of the humanitarian response; and (4) expanding the delivery of assistance in hard-to-reach areas. In 2018, key priority sectors include shelter, health, and water, sanitation and hygiene.
