Overview of cluster (needs/response/gaps)

The cluster partners continue to support the provincial and district authorities to effectively manage the IDP situation. Regular Core Cluster meetings are being held on a fortnightly basis at a Provincial (Peshawarr) and District level (Bannu). PDMA Bannu has also nominated a focal person to co-chair the District Working Group together with EHSAR foundation.

Given the prolonged stay of IDPs in the hosting areas, cluster partners have emphasized the need to increase support for the hosting districts in both KP and FATA. In addition to ILO and UNDP, ACTED and ACF International have also initiated initiatives to support the displaced and hosting population through cash for work and community infrastructure and awareness programs. Some organizations are still awaiting NOCs in order to initiate activities on the ground.

The Cluster partners have prepared an analysis of the community restoration needs for 2015 which will be included in the Humanitarian Needs Overview currently being nalized by OCHA.

More than 13,230 callers have been provided information or referred to appropriate channels through the PDMA Call Centre. The major concerns of the IDPs in the last month continue to be related to cash payments, registration issues, weather conditions and health and water and sanitation related issues.
