Description

The Conflict Victims’ Support Program aims to provide equitable and transparent support to civilian victims of conflict related violence in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). Designed assistance packages should take into consideration medical, psycho-social, livelihood and long-term support needs of civilian victims ensuring the maximum service-delivery to the beneficiaries. Subject to the availability of funds, this is expected to be a three-year cooperative agreement valued at $25 million. Due to the nature of the program, USAID anticipates that at least 60 percent out of the total budget will be proposed as a direct assistance to conflict victims. The selected program will coordinate and collaborate directly with the KP provincial line ministries, particularly, the Department of Social Welfare and Women’s Development, the FATA Secretariat and others responsible for ensuring the delivery of basic services in the implementation of this program. All designed assistance packages should be closely linked, where possible, to other on-going USG programs in the FATA/KP. The program is expected to be heavily branded and marked through an intensive public communications and outreach program. For program design purposes, USAID is providing as a very basic definition of the civilian victims of conflict related violence, the target group for this program, as non-military, non-police, non-combatant, and non-civil-servant victims injured, disabled or killed as a result of military operations and/or terrorist related acts in the FATA/KP. Civil-Servants, while civilians, are excluded from this program because they and their heirs are covered through a Government of Pakistan scheme should they be injured or killed in conflict related violence.
