Responding to emergencies

Pakistan is highly vulnerable to natural disasters because of its climate and geography. So, we dedicate a lot of our time to ensuring that we can respond quickly to emergencies when they happen. Having a team of experts on hand who are trained to work effectively in emergency situations is critical to our work.

Concern’s experience in identifying and assessing local charity partners was a key factor in securing the “Responding to Pakistan’s Internally Displaced” (RAPID) umbrella grant. This grant is funded by the office of US foreign disaster assistance (OFDA). This means we’ll be responsible for overseeing the disbursement of approximately 18 million US dollars in grants. This money will be distributed to organisations providing humanitarian assistance to people who have been forced to leave their homes due to flooding.

Pakistan floods

Nothing in living memory compares to the floods that hit Pakistan in July 2010. We initiated an emergency aid response and have continued our recovery programme in areas still affected by the floods. This video shows some of the ways we have helped so far.
