PESHAWAR, May 17 (APP): Sarhad Rural Support Programme (SRSP) in colla
boration with The Big Heart Foundation (TBHF) under a 10-month project “Support to Flood-affected C
ommunities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan” would rehabilitate c
ommunity-based infrastructure schemes in district Swat for the benefit of 1,500 households, 11,250 flood-2022 affected individuals.
Under the USD 150,000 project the poor and underprivileged affected c
ommunities of floods 2022 in Pakistan would be rehabilitated depending on damages assessment, said a press release issued here Friday adding that the type of infrastructure schemes would include drinking water, link roads, suspension bridges, protecti
on structures, sanitation, and irrigation channels.
The project would also increase economic resilience of c
ommunity to climate change while the local c
ommunity members would be rigorously involved in the implementation of the project through SRSP’s social mobilisati
on strategy and c
ommunity-driven approach.
The project was conceived to support c
ommunities and areas affected by the floods 2022. However, its implementation coincides with the current situation where heavy rainfall was causing problems. The implementation of the project was therefore timely and relevant, it added.
The 10-month project from January – October 2024 would be a remarkable venture to restore and enhance the living standards of the flood-affected people in district swat.
