The conflict in the federally Administered Tribal Agencies (FATA) and North Western Frontier Province (NWPP) of Pakistan and the consequent displacement of households and communities from their areas of origin has resulted in destruction, damage and depreciation of the housing stock. Just under 23,000 families (approx. 1 30,000 individuals) from Orakzai were registered as displaced in the neighbotnring districts of Hangu and Kohat. A rapid assessment took place in February 2010 in Kohat and found that 57% of IDP's are not registered and that 50% of the 1DPs population do not have access to sufficient water. Off-camp assistance in Hangu is provided mostly by the Pakistan Red Crescent supported by the International Committee of the Red Cross. Lack of adequate water supply had been identified. IDPs occupy/rent substandard houses, lacking basic facilities such water and latrines. Lack of latrines negatively affects women and girls. High concentration of IDPs was negatively impacting  on existing communities' resources in terms of water supply and facilities such as water points and community latrines in Mosques. The project will, in coordination with WASH Cluster, UNICEF, PDMA/PaRRS , the NWFP Ministry of Social Welfare and Women Development and local Government authorities, Red Cross Movement, provide WASH assistance to 2,500 of families the most vulnerable IDPs F living off camp in Hangu, NWFP, and their host communities, within a maximum period of three months. The intervention addresses the issue of increasing safe water provision to IDI's and host communities, providing sanitation to IDPs and conducting hygiene awareness campaign (where accepted by local population that do not feel threatened by such initiatives).The district of intervention is Hangu, North Western Frontier Province, Pakistan.
