UN-Funded Rehabilitation Project in Chitral: Multi Year Humanitarian Programme (MYHP)

The consortium partners including UNICEF, FAO and WPF provided funds to AKRSP for the MYHP project for a period of 2 years (2016-2017).  The Project is focused on the themes of Natural Disaster Preparedness and Response and Recovery in Charun and Mukhow Union Councils of Chitral. In addition, three Revenue villages of UC Kosht (Muxgole, Murder and Mur Kosht) were also included where WFP did not undertake any intervention because the LoA of WFP had expired before inclusion of these villages. During the year 2016, WFP provided support to 1400 families in three cycles through Cash For Work, Cash for Training,  and support for Extremely Vulnerable Individuals ( EVIs) packages.

The UNICEF has provided support in Hygiene Promotion,  Sanitation,  WASH in Schools and  WASH in Health Facilities. Almost 63 % of target activities have been completed and 32,087 individuals have benefitted from the Project activities.
