Venue: LG & RDD, KP, PESHAWAR
The 61st meeting of WASH Cluster KP (4th WASH Cluster Flood Emergency meeting) was held on 17-08-2010 at 09:30 AM in the LG &RDD, Peshawar. In his opening remarks the chair Mr. Said Rehman CWC informed that from now onward Public Health Engineering Department KP will be jointly chairing the provincial WASH Cluster meetings with LG & RDD. Engineer Khan Zeb, Deputy Secretary (Tech) PHED jointly chaired the cluster meeting and Co-Chaired by Mr. Muhammad Masud, WASH Cluster Coordinator, KP. Meeting was attended by large number of WASH partners and their IP’s. After formal introduction, the cluster was given an overview of the WASH flood emergency response and priorities of the Provincial Government by LG&RDD, PHED & UNICEF respectively.
OVERVIEW:
Mr. Said Rehman:
The chair told that both PHED & TMA’s are major responsible public sector entities for provision of water supply and sanitation services in rural & urban areas; flood have caused damages in all the 24 districts, even Kala Dhaka is affected he added. He also said that PDMA has categorized the districts in three categories on the basis of extent of damages as 1st, 2nd & as 3rd category and the complete list will be circulated once formally received. He mentioned that power supply is cut off in all parts of Swat including Shangla & resultantly, no water supply scheme is energized through electricity there. However, TMA Swat’s tube wells have been made functional through heavy-duty generators, provided by UNICEF and UNICEF is also providing POL.
He also said that in Peshawar, Charsadda & Nowshera the major issue was that of disposal of dead animals; 16000 dead animals were reported; this issue was resolved to a great extent he added. He further said that in Nowshera urban area 15 tube wells are restored and in TMA Charsadda 11 out of 14 are functional & in Swat 36 out of 38 tube wells are being run through generators on rotational basis. He was of the view that the information from remote hilly areas (where large number of gravity water supply schemes would have been damaged) will be available in a few days.
About coordination amongst the WASH partners in some of the flood affected districts he said that it’s an issue as access is still limited and therefore we need strong coordination mechanism in these areas to fill the gaps in flood response.
Since large numbers of organizations are in the field providing almost similar WASH services such as water trucking, cleaning of streets and drains, removal of solid waste and distribution of NFI’s and hygiene kits to the affectees, therefore serious duplication issues have been noticed. It was also observed that both TMA’s and PHED are being approached for detail of support and resultantly casually prepared lists of supplies and support are passed on to different organizations with out specifying the areas and extent of support.
He also informed that the Provincial Government has also decided to divert their own resources and current ADP funds to the flood emergency response. Therefore it becomes more important for the NGO’s working in WASH flood emergency response to keep close coordination with PHED and TMA’s to ensure better utilization of resources and reach to the maximum affectees. He concluded that response is not of desired level & pointed out that through a random check on Sunday August 15, 2010 by WatSan Cell WASH officer, some villages such as Torlandey, Biar Gharai and Mioley of UC Mirzadher in District Charsadda were found to be with out clean water for days. He feared list of such deprived villages might be high and they needed to be accessed through active coordination and information sharing mechanism.
Engineer Khan Zeb, PHED:
The joint chair of WASH Cluster KP said that Public Health Engineering Department adopted a 3-pronged Restoration Strategy for flood damages, outlined as under;
1. Immediate restoration of water supply schemes with minor repairs in the main districts of inundation;
2. Urgent Cleaning & disinfection of water supply sources;
3. Water supply schemes with major repairs as civil work.
The joint chair said that in this effort PHED has signed MoU with UNICEF & PCRWR and started disinfection in 3 districts where inundation prevailed. He also informed the forum about the tentative damages of WSS received from the field as:-
1. 1000 plus million damages have been assessed for 963 schemes out of total 4000 schemes; however the cost has been rationalized to 692 Millions as the initial estimates are revisited and confirmed.
2. Referring to the restoration strategy he informed that in District Peshawar 13 out of 14 WSS, in Nowshera 7 out of 11WSS, in Charsadda all 40 WSS, in Mardan all 35 WSS, in Swabi 49 out of 65 WSS, in Abbottabad 41 out of 72 WSS, in Haripur 48 out of 56 WSS, in Mansehra 12 out of 40 WSS, in Batagram 5 out of 68 WSS, in Kohistan 2 out 6 WSS, in Shangla 3 out of 23 WSS, in Swat 4 out of 43 WSS, in Chitral 10 out of 38 WSS, in Dir Upper 12 out of 43 WSS & in Malakand 30 out of 63 water supply schemes have been restored.
He also said that Provincial Government has established “Flood Damages Restoration Directorate” & this directorate is working on preparation of cost estimates of losses to WASH facilities & will check quality of restoration and repair works. 1st meeting of the forum has been held and its minutes will be shared with WASH partners soon.
Action point: He requested WASH partners in the disinfection campaign of PHED for the restoration of water sources throughout the flood-affected areas.
Mr. Masood Aslam, WASH Cluster Coordinator
The Co-chair said that UN-Pakistan WASH response has been finalized; about funding opportunity, OCHA, DFID and CERF windows are available, he added. Quoting yesterday’s general coordination meeting in PDMA, he said that most of the WASH partners are providing their services on the main roads and flood affectees living off the roads are still deprived; WASH partners must look into the matter and focus on the issue raised in GCM.

Venue: LG & RDD, KP, PESHAWAR
The 61st meeting of WASH Cluster KP (4th WASH Cluster Flood Emergency meeting) was held on 17-08-2010 at 09:30 AM in the LG &RDD, Peshawar. In his opening remarks the chair Mr. Said Rehman CWC informed that from now onward Public Health Engineering Department KP will be jointly chairing the provincial WASH Cluster meetings with LG & RDD. Engineer Khan Zeb, Deputy Secretary (Tech) PHED jointly chaired the cluster meeting and Co-Chaired by Mr. Muhammad Masud, WASH Cluster Coordinator, KP. Meeting was attended by large number of WASH partners and their IP’s. After formal introduction, the cluster was given an overview of the WASH flood emergency response and priorities of the Provincial Government by LG&RDD, PHED & UNICEF respectively.

UPDATES:
WASH Cluster Coordinator reported that according to Government figures 1.5 million people are worst affected in floods & this figure might increase as still some areas are inaccessible such as Kohistan, Shangla & Dir; he explained that if we convert this figure of 1.5 million plus to house hold (Families) then its about 2, 50, 000 house holds and the planning response for such a huge number is quite challenging.
RESPONSE PLANNING FOR FUNDING:
WASH Cluster Coordinator sought views of the WASH cluster about the volume of financial assistance as “WASH Cluster appeal” for emergency response for the coming three months. This of course will be revised to up to Six months. He also said that in order to prioritize our WASH flood emergency response’ following order is proposed;
1. WATER TRUCKING: He said water trucking is required till the flood water recedes & some places will take more time; for water trucking at present we will consider 1.5 million people & which will be reduced as the water level recedes and some water schemes are restored.
2. NFIs: He said WASH NFIs (Bucket, Jerry can etc) & WASH Hygiene Kit ( as decided by WASH Cluster Working Group) are required for two lakhs & fifty thousand house holds; one hygiene kit average cost 15 USD he added.
3. TOILET CONSTRUCTION: He said flood affectees are living in public buildings and others under the open sky. Provision of toilets in these places is also required due to fact that it might take 3 to 6 months for minimum 1, 80,000 people to stay as their houses have completely vanished.
4. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL: He said due to flash floods clearing of areas from dead animals, flood clay & debris would be required on priority basis. For this purpose TMA’s and other organizations would require tractors, trollies and in some cases even heavy machinery such as executers.

• Toilet standards were explained to the forum for house hold & in emergency according to Sphere standards;
After detail discussion WASH Cluster agreed to the cost figure of 30 USD per person for emergency response. WASH Cluster partners can propose projects in the above 6 components/package areas;
FUNDING OPPURTUNITIES:
