Hi! Let me start with what I can contribute to the project. I am from Pakistan and I live in Karachi so I am well aware of the situation in Waziristan and what is or is not being done about it. I can cover the following areas for you:
1)A brief background on the military operation and its consequences for the IDPs
2) Hard facts such as impacted areas, population in the impacted areas, average size of the families among other demographics, ratio of IDP camps to the population and other such useful statistics
3) Identification of the needs of the IDPs
4) Highlighting issues with the operational process of registration and verification of IDPs
5) Availability of basic services such as provision of food, medical care, counselling, etc.
6) Impact on children in terms of lost time at school, psychological consequences, etc.
7) Impact on disabled people and how it is being handled by authorities
8) Focus on the number of people involved in the humanitarian people as well as the cost. Herein lies a lot of challenges and opportunities both.
9) Access to impact areas is being hindered due to government's bureaucracy
10)Rehabilitation of homes and to whom the responsibility has been given
11)Challenges faced in terms of protection from crime, protection of children, women etc.
12)Logistics of the entire process will be assessed
Looking forward to hearing from you. We can discuss this further so you can tell me exactly what your requirement is.
