ProjectEmergency Response to Support Livestock Owners and Control Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Virus (CCHV) in Floods-Affected Districts of Balochistan Province - TCP/PAK/3901 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Between June and August 2022, flash floods caused by abnormally heavy monsoon rains affected 3.1 million people, killed at least 903 people and displaced more than 300 000 people in Pakistan. The Federal Government identified 76 of the 160 districts in the country as those most affected by the floods, with Balochistan province being the hardest hit. The province recorded 234 deaths as a result of widespread flooding, as well as significant livestock losses, and severe damage to crops, irrigation infrastructures, food stored for household (HH) consumption, seed and grain storages, agricultural tools and machinery. An estimated 108 149 acres of crops and orchards were damaged in 34 districts, equivalent to ten percent of total cropped land in the province. The livestock population was also severely impacted. By 23 August 2022, over 500 000 livestock had been lost at national level as a result of floods; of these 113 814 (23%) were in Balochistan. -
ProjectEnhancing Capacities for Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Towards Adaptive and Shock-Responsive Social Protection Amid COVID-19 - TCP/PHI/3807 2024
Also available in:
No results found.A significant proportion of the population of the Philippines lives in and out of poverty due to climate-related disasters, which represent one of the main threats to ensuring economic growth and poverty reduction in the country. Vulnerable households and communities are often most affected by disasters as they usually have fewer resources to build resilience. In the Philippines, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is the primary government agency mandated to implement social protection programmes. The DSWD also plays a lead role in the Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) landscape acting as the vice chair for Disaster Response of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. However, the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically changed the landscape of DRRM, pushing the government’s operational plan and the private sector to the limit and causing high mortality rates. The pandemic compounded the negative impacts of climate-related hazards that are frequently experienced in the country. To respond to this emerging challenge, this project was designed to provide technical assistance to the DSWD in implementing DRRM initiatives through high-end information technologies (IT) and infrastructure. The project aimed to strengthen institutional capacities to use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as an essential tool that would allow the enhancement of predictive analytics for humanitarian response (PAHR), map potential resources and capacities and track the displaced population affected by natural crises. Therefore, by implementing GIS, the project sought to create strategies with real-time data to mitigate future impacts for vulnerable communities. -
