ONGOING Projects/Programmes
CAMP and its sister organization, Regional Research Policy Institute (RRPC), signed a contract with Internews Network, an international media agency, in late September 2012, to conduct a media audience usage in selected areas of KP and FATA. Internews works to support conditions for stability and development in conflict-prone and other priority areas of Pakistan through the “Supporting Progressive Media Voices in Pakistan” program.
With financial support from the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany, and technical assistance from the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg, Germany, Community Appraisal and Motivation Programme (CAMP), initiated a seven-month research project titled ‘Rule of Law Programming in Pakistan’ in August 2010. Two detailed research assessments namely; Understanding Jirga: Legality and Legitimacy in Pakistan’s Federally Administered Tribal Areas and the Legal Environment in Pakistan for Registered Afghanswere conducted during this phase.
Funded by the German Development Ministry (BMZ) through HELP NGO Germany, the Disaster Management Project will be implemented in the flood prone and disaster affected villages of districts Nowshera & Charsadda of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The duration of the Project is 27 months; starting 1 July 2012 and ending on30 September 2014.
Funded by ADH through HELP (e.V), Germany, the project aims to improve the health status of the target population and strengthen capacity within the health sector in the flood hit areas of districts Peshawar, Charasadda and Nowsehra of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. During the one year timeframe, through this project CAMP will revitalize 11 government Primary Health Care facilities in the three districts and will provide trainings to 443 government health workers on maternal and child health care.
The aim of the third phase is to empower communities from the FATA (residents and diasporas) to better understand the political process with focus on the upcoming elections (2013), and to create momentum for needed change, which will ultimately help to bring peace in the area which will ultimately help stabilise Pakistan.
Through the Active Citizens Programme, CAMP has been working with the British Council to effectively deliver the National Social Action Project- 'ILMPOSSIBLE' – the word is a fusion of an Urdu and English word, which means education is possible.
FATA, despite the ongoing conflict both within and on its North Western borders, also faces internal infrastructure issues on a daily basis. Arising primarily from road traffic accidents, gunshot wounds and landmines/ unexploded ordnance, floods, it leads to adding more chaos in an already troubled region. Due to a lack of suitably skilled health workers and the necessary equipment, people are dying unnecessarily and being left with avoidable disabilities.
Funded by Swiss Development Corporation (SDC), the FATA Livelihood Development Programme (FLDP) started on April 1st, 2012. With over a decade of experience working in FATA, CAMP identified the two Agenciesfor implementing the FLDP, which are Khyber and Kurram agencies of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
Funded by the European Union (EU), the Peace Building project aims at promoting participatory approaches in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan. The timeline of this project is from January 2012 till early 2015. The objectives of the EU Peace Building project are to enhance the institutional & operational capacity of civil society organizations in mediation & dialogue and also to develop EU partnerships with & between non-state actors active in peace building at the operational level in KP & FATA.
Funded by PATRIP Foundation, Germany, in January 2012, CAMP initiated this project in Kurram, Khyber and Bajaur Agencies of FATA and Upper Dir of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The project aims to implement the following six schemes:
As a result of the security operation currently underway in parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas almost 100,000 IDPs were displaced, some of them are residing in relief camps as well as with host families in districts adjoining the affected areas.
As in most humanitarian crises, the most vulnerable groups, mother and child, pregnant women and elderly suffered the most. With approaching hot weather and monsoons, mosquitoes, acute diarrhea, gastrointestinal diseases, skin infections, stress and trauma are going to make life even more difficult for these displaced families
