The main objective of the project is to ensure that
the returning population have adequate access to clean water, sanitation
facilities and basic life-saving knowledge of hygiene practices to reduce the
risk of waterborne diseases in their areas of return. Returnees will be
provided with safe drinking water, will have access to adequate sanitation
facilities or mobilized for improved sanitation coverage, and will be reached
with appropriate hygiene messages as required by UNICEF's IPs.
UN-Habitat's proposed project will pay special
attention to the provision of immediate WASH assistance addressing the
lifesaving needs of 3000 most vulnerable returnee families (18,000 individuals
including 5,284 women, 5,069 men,
3,820 girls below 18years of age and
3,677 boys below 18 years of age) in the Upper Kurram Area of Kurram Agency in FATA, Pakistan.
WASH assistance will be coordinated with the WASH
Cluster and will be harmonized among all the beneficiaries targeted by the
cluster partners under this CERF funding. At the minimum, WASH assistance will
cover:
·
Rehabilitation of existing water supply systems
(public and community owned)
·
Rehabilitation and installation of hand pumps
·
Water quality monitoring and surveillance and water
treatment
·
Rehabilitation of sanitation facilities at
community level
·
Provision of sanitation kit to most vulnerable
families to support the construction of basic latrine to minimize the health
risks associated with open defecation
·
Provision of health and hygiene kits to all the
families
·
Support to community-based hygiene promotion using
multiple communication methods targeting men, women, elderly and disabled.
The CERF life-saving criteria for WASH
interventions emphasize on provision of minimum requirements of water,
sanitation and hygiene standards in emergency situations. The criteria will be
incorporated in the project design to ensure assistance for most vulnerable
families.
UN-Habitat will engage a team of management, social
mobilisation, engineering and monitoring to speed up a timely deliverance of
life saving WASH services to the returnees.
