For more information: babar.tanwir(a)shrrp.org (mailto:babar.tanwir@shrrp.org) Families in Keti Bandar are in dire need of affordable housing solutions that can withstand the risks they face living near the coast. With four creeks nearby, heavy rains and strong winds pose regular challenges to the community. In 2022 alone, approximately 3,000 households suffered damage or destruction due to these environmental factors. The bricks and concrete structures have shown limited effectiveness in the area, leading most households to rely on timber and ply board for housing. However, techniques used lack adequate resilience against multiple hazards, highlighting the need for more robust construction techniques. There is a strong need to develop cost-effective, multi-hazard resilient housing and settlement options tailored to the specific needs of the area. SHRRP and SPHF are fully supportive and ready to facilitate initiatives across a spectrum, from small-scale endeavors such as developing and testing technical solutions to larger-scale projects like constructing 3,000 resilient homes. If you're interested in supporting initiatives in Keti Bandar, please reach out to adeel.javaid(a)shrrp.org (mailto:adeel.javaid@shrrp.org) Information Management 24 partner organizations have reported their work on housing reconstruction as of 29 Feb 2024. Sectoral recovery partners presence reported on SHRRP 5W as of 29 Feb 2024. ** Partners’ Update ------------------------------------------------------------ In a two-day workshop “Beyond Housing: Ensuring a Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Recovery” at the Community Level in Balochistan was organized by UN-IOM from 21 to 22 February 2024. Emphasizing the need for a robust recovery coordination mechanism, SHRRP shared its coordination achievements and challenges from the Sindh Recovery efforts. SHRRP stressed the need of a settlement approach to collectively address the housing challenges with other sectoral needs for resilient recovery and sustainable development. Participants from various sectors of society, including government, academia, and development actors, acknowledged the significance of collaborative efforts and robust coordination as Baluchistan initiates its recovery activities. They emphasized that a collaborative approach and strong coordination will ensure synergy in resilience and sustainability efforts at every stage of the recovery process.

For more information: sadiafazli(a)gmail.com (mailto:sadiafazli@gmail.com) In Sindh, women play a crucial part in reconstruction of houses. They are actively involved in tasks such as cash management, material sorting, construction oversight, and safety assurance. Recognizing their significant contribution in the reconstruction process, Catholic Relief Services organized a one-day pilot training for women construction supervisors, aiming to empower them in construction leadership, promote gender equality, and strengthen resilience through multi-hazard reconstruction techniques. 18 women from all 9 villages of Deh Kamangar, UC Qazi Arif District Dadu, participated in this training. Additionally, these women received orientation on hygiene promotion, kitchen gardening, tree plantation, and other livelihood activities. To ensure the efficient management of both reconstruction efforts and other social services, these trained women will be engaged as "Community Volunteers" for a three-month duration, receiving a modest stipend for their facilitation. This training initiative intends to expand to other flood-affected areas with ongoing reconstruction activities. Training materials will be shared with relevant platforms for wider adoption.

Post-flood 2022, Muhammad was partially displaced for two months, living in tents. Struggling with health issues like arthritis and fever, Muhammad Nawaz's earnings were stretched thin to support his family and to educate his kids. The construction of their new home faced a setback due to a lack of bricks, hampering progress. CRS intervened, working alongside the Village Reconstruction Committee (VRC) to overcome this hurdle. Together, they mobilized the community, generating a remarkable display of solidarity, with over 3,000 bricks and 8,000 PKR donated swiftly by other households. This collective effort restores Muhammad Nawaz's hope, enabling him to resume building his safe haven. Muhammad Nawaz's family finds solace in their new home, a testament to resilience and community support, reflecting on their journey from hardship to stability. Muhammad Nawaz, a story of resilience, provides more motivation to organizations like CRS and SPHF in building resilient homes and sustainable communities in Sindh, Pakistan. Hurmat Bibi is a resident of Jhuddo Tehsil. In 2022, her house collapsed due to floods, leaving her with no place to live. The floods caused extreme poverty and devastation, making it impossible for her to rebuild. She found herself in a difficult situation, especially considering she has young daughters. Unfortunately, she has no arrangements for their safety and privacy. Living in a tent, she did not feel secure. After having a proper house, she can ensure the safety of her children. In the situation of heavy rains and floods, she can protect herself and her children from difficulties. She can arrange for privacy and take care of the upbringing of her daughters.

(as of 31 Jan 2024) SPHF organized a pre fact finding mission of Asian Development Bank (ADB) for Sindh Emergency Housing Reconstruction Project (SEHRP). The aim of the mission is to support beneficiary-driven and multi-hazard resilient reconstruction of housing units and infrastructure affected by the 2022 floods in selected districts of Sindh. As part of the mission, the ADB mission team had consultations with UN Agencies and I/NGOs partners working in the recovery process in Sindh province. ** Sindh Housing Recovery and Reconstruction Platform (SHRRP) ------------------------------------------------------------ Climate Resilient Settlement Plan launched by Mr. Shakeel Ahmed Mangnejo, Chairman, Planning and Development Department, Government of Sindh on 30 Jan 2024. E-report is available here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/11jBYVgmHWw8RfarxOvee1CHsyYRY-mVH/view) .

The 3rd Partner Coordination Meeting was organized by SPHF/SHRRP on 30 Jan 2024 to review progress, challenges and discuss solutions and strategies for resilient housing reconstruction and sustainable communities’ development. The meeting was followed by discussions on operations of technical working groups and the way forward for the upcoming priorities for partners to contribute to the post-flood recovery process through the working groups. Presentation slides are available here. 2nd SHRRP Strategic Advisory Group(SAG) was chaired by Mr. Khalid M. Shaikh, CEO, SPHF and attended by members (CRS, IOM, UNOPS, UN-Habitat, WHH, IRP, Muslim Hand and HelpAge International) and UNICEF as observers.

SHRRP maintains a directory recording mason training programs in Sindh, with participant details. Graphs summarize this data, aiding organizations in locating trained masons or assessing training coverage and gaps. Detailed directories are available upon request for housing construction endeavors.

Yet, Norwegian Church Aid (NCA) swiftly intervened, erecting 15 semi-permanent shelters using the "build back better" strategy. Beyond construction, they instilled Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) practices, engaging the community in the process. Villagers actively participated, fostering unity and ownership. Today, amidst scars of the disaster, Yousuf Chandio stands resilient, a testament to collective strength. As the sun sets, illuminating new homes, the village symbolizes hope, ready to confront any future trials. For more information, ghulam.sakina(a)nca.no (mailto:ghulam.sakina@nca.no) CRS in collaboration with SPHF, and SHRRP conducted a two-day pilot mason training in Deh Kamangar District Dadu, focusing on DRR for flood-resilient houses reconstruction. The program equipped 26 local masons with advanced skills, covering practical techniques, safety measures, green materials, and theoretical insights. To enhance effectiveness, suggestions include hands-on training in active reconstruction areas, emphasizing visual aids, balancing theoretical and practical sessions, providing IEC Mason Handbooks in the local language, including tools demonstrations, and setting a minimum 2-day duration for comprehensive learning.

Women's housing, land, and property (HLP) rights are crucial for their security and inclusion. Cultural norms and discrimination often hinder these rights, exacerbated by conflict and displacement.
