Goals of ERWG • To establish an overarching ERWG; • To bring all the Early Recovery stakeholders on a platform to map the activities, resources needs, and gaps with a view to foster inclusive and integrated decision making and reporting; • To make a strategic link between Residual Relief, ER and Longer Term Reconstruction • To offer strategic advice to key decision makers on the best options for ER
Specific Objectives of ERWG • Stakeholder Mapping (Location, Sector, Capacity, Budget, Reporting etc.,) • Strategic Gap Analysis • Economic Analysis • Information Management for Decision Making

Residual Relief Needs in SindhSituation update (March 2011) • Residual IDPs caseloads relying on humanitarian assistance in Sindh: more than 50,000 IDPs (excluding significant number of IDPs in spontaneous settlements and/or secondary displacement within their districts of origin) • Return process is ongoing but returnees face significant livelihood challenges(particularly in Qambar Shadakot, Jacobabad, Kashmore, Shikarpur, Dadu and Sewan Districts. In these districts, at least 9 UCs remain inundated) • Global Acute Malnutrition above 22%(from assessment conducted in December 2010) • Anticipated floods during Monsoon season - need for emergency preparedness in parallel to ongoing thematic humanitarian and ER responses
Major challenges in the context of OCHA phase out • Establishment of coordination mechanisms to respond to needs of on-going residual caseloads and rollout of ERWG • Ensuring durable solutions for IDPs remaining in camps and spontaneous settlements • Lack of emergency preparedness and contingency planning • Re-establishment of livelihoods across flood affected areas
Overall Humanitarian Situation General: • Hard to reach water catchment areas • Underlying structural problems – further exacerbated by the floods • Districts of Mianwali, Khushab and Rahim Yar Khan Small number of displaced: • 122 people in Layyah District and 431 IDP families in Muzaffargarh districs • Need for food, water hand pumps and latrines, temporary learning centres, permanent shelter solutions Free food distribution completed in all districts: • VAM initially identified 3.4M people in need of food assistance • 1.8 M have been reached by the food cluster • Only 185,000 people will be assisted through Food for Work • Flood Recovery Assessment (FRA) indicates that 33.5% of flood affected population in Punjab is food insecure
Overall Humanitarian Situation cont Shelter : • Roofing and other shelter material - TOP PRIORITY, less than 1% of one-room shelters completed (2,808 out of 301,211) Nutrition Survey: • Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rate 13.9% • Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) rate at 3.5% WASH: • MCRAM village profiling in four districts showed massive problem with sanitation and hygiene practices, with 93% of population affected • Need for clean potable water, improved sanitation and hygiene conditions Preliminary findings from protection: • 74% have had problems accessing humanitarian assistance • 69% of the people were forced to return home though they had nothing to return with in terms of shelter • WATAN cards: 65% of interviewed issued with watan cards Protection issues: • Sexual abuse, forced marriages, no rights for disadvantaged groups, land rights, ...
Hand-over to UNDP • MCRAM data provided to UNDP and clusters • UC ranking tool, critical matrix tool (Identifies gaps for humanitarian assistance) • Punjab Humanitarian Strategic Framework • Majority of staff in the districts remain with UNDP ensuring continued coordination • Contingency planning of UN agencies for new disasters • IM tools (district profiles, 3 Ws, contact lists, meeting schedules, maps, VAM assessment data)
