An emergency relief set up, funded by German Foreign Ministry (AA) through HELP (e.V) was organized in Naseerabad Division; the worst affected area of Balochistan Province. Operating with one static health facility at IDPs camp city for the flood affectees at Dera Allah Yar – District Jaffarabad and 7 fully equipped mobile teams, the establishment rendered services to a catchment population of 611314 in Jaffarabad and surrounding areas consisting of not only the displaced but also members of the host community.
With financial support from the German Foreign Office, and legal as well as technical assistance from the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law in Heidelberg, Germany, CAMP aimed at conducting two detailed research assessments 
Maternal and newborn health outcomes in the region are appalling. The lack of skilled health workers contributes hugely to the problem. Supported by IDEALS UK our long-term partner, and in collaboration with the FATA Health Directorate, we began this initiative in December 2008: having recruited young women with the necessary academic qualifications, motivation and family support, their 20 month training programme to become the first community midwives to operate in Khyber Agency and adjacent Frontier Regions began in April 2009.
There is a huge burden of trauma within FATA, arising primarily from road traffic accidents, gunshot wounds and landmines/unexploded ordnance. Obviously the burden is currently much greater given the conflict and floods ravaging the region. Due to a lack of suitably skilled health workers and the necessary equipment people are dying unnecessarily and being left with avoidable disability. In conjunction with IDEALS, a UK based NGO, and the FATA Health Directorate, CAMP addressed these issues with the following interventions:
The figure of 17.42% of people in FATA being literate presents a very dismal scenario, but more pitiful is the female literacy which is less than 3% (1998 Census). This leaves most FATA youth with little or no education and inadequate coping skills. With little opportunities to access vocational or higher education they are practically unemployable for trades and jobs that require semi-or higher skilled workers, and as a result are vulnerable to exploitation and extremism.
Community Appraisal and Motivation Programme (CAMP) is a national non-profit and non-governmental organization established and registered in May 2002, under the Societies Act of 1860 (Registration No. 192/5/2946). We work with some of the most underprivileged communities in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan; responding to emergencies, improving access to quality health and education, creating livelihood opportunities and working closely with communities and government departments to promote human rights, peace and security.(Read more about CAMP)
