The monsoon floods in 2010 created one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the history ofPakistan. More than 20 million people in 84 districts of the country were affected. The massivehumanitarian needs after heavy floods posed considerable challenges for the Pakistanigovernment, national and international humanitarian organizations, to plan an immediate androbust response to emergency needs of the flood affected communities. In spite of thechallenges, NCA planned to restore decent living conditions of 15,000 flood affected families(105,000 individuals) through WASH interventions integrated with cross-cutting issues likeprotection, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Gender Mainstreaming. The project was implemented in rural areas of district Naushahro Feroze, Sindh province. These interventionswere implemented together with the local implementing partner organization i.e. RDF. GLOW consultants were commissioned by NCA to conduct this third party evaluation of itsSwiss Solidarities (SwS) and HEKS funded project, “Sustainable WASH assistance to the 2010flood affected communities” implemented in Naushahro Feroze district, Sindh. 15,000 flood affected families in district Naushahro Feroze, Sindh have dignified access to safe and sustainable WASH facilities and services in accordance with Sphere standards; target population has improved capacities to better understand disaster risk management and risk reduction approaches and is better able to cope with future disasters; and most vulnerable population (women, girls, minorities, elderly and people with disabilities) in the target areas access WASH services without any intimidation, cultural barrier or abuse and feel empowered with protection of their fundamental rights.
