IOM Pakistan – IOM Triples Flood Appeal to US$114 Million

Press Briefing Notes: 20 September 2010
IOM is appealing to international donors for US$114 million to help over 20 million people affected by the worst floods in Pakistan’s history.

The appeal, designed to cover a wide range of relief and recovery projects to be implemented through July 2011, follows an earlier 3-month appeal launched in August for US$38 million.

 

To date international donors, including the US, UK, Canada, Sweden, Japan and the UN, have contributed nearly US$22 million to IOM’s initial appeal. This is funding activities including the provision of emergency shelter and non-food relief items, coordination of the Emergency Shelter Cluster, transport and logistics, mass communications and health.

 

The revised appeal includes projects across a range of sectors including:

  • Emergency and longer term shelter, and coordination of the Emergency Shelter Cluster ($70 million.)
  • Community restoration, including debris removal and repair of damaged infrastructure ($26 million.)
  • Staff and procurement support for the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) ($4 million.)
  • Logistics and transport for aid agencies and the NDMA ($3 million.)
  • Mass communications for disaster-affected populations ($3 million)  
  • Emergency health care and restoration of primary health care ($2 million.)
  • Distribution of tool kits to help people to restart their livelihoods and rebuild their houses ($2 million.)
  • Displacement camp coordination and camp management ($2 million.)
  • Prevention of human trafficking ($1 million.)
