01: Introduction
1.1 Executive Summary:
HOPE87 conduc ted a Post Co nflic t Live lihood Assessment in its
op erationa l a rea of the projec t Hop e for the vict ims of c onflic t in Pakistan 1 i.e.
Tehsil Charbagh (Consisting o f four union c ounc ils, Charbagh, Gulibagh,
Ta leg ram and Kishawra), betwee n 12 Janua ry 2010 to 18 Janua ry 2010 with a n
estima ted population of 0.12 million peop le. The ob jec tive of this assessment is to
develop an understanding of the impact of conflict on livelihood patterns and
me asures nec essary for reha b ilita tion of livelihoo d in m ed ium term to the level of
pre conflic t.
This study is c om posed of tw o main com ponents. The first is a b ackground
study, focused group discussions, stakeholders consultation, secondary data
ana lysis, oral testimon ia ls and usage of PLA/ PRA te c hniques, provid ing a p ic ture
of the pre-conflict socio-economic situation, in addition to emergency andrec overy responses in the area . The sec ond is a partic ipa tory rap id a ssessment

their livelihood conditions during and after the conflict). A total of 1,570 people
(inc luding 34 % wo me n) were c onsulted in va rious stages of this study.
Income groups were divided into four groups primarily based on cash
income, education & skills and numbers of people working in one household.
The first incom e group s ma in sources of income a re fo rma l emp loyment and
foreign rem itta nc es (ea rning PKR 16,000 per mo nth a nd upwa rds). The sec ond
incom e group inc ludes househo lds whose prima ry inco me source is agriculture,
livestock, orchards, shop keeping & small businesses or skilled casual labour
(carpenters, masons, etc.) and by doing small jobs in other cities of Pakistan
(ea rning PKR 8,000 10,000 per month). The third inc ome group is predominantly
unskilled casual labourers working either in urban centres (e.g. in hotels/
resta urants, c onstruct ion , or fac tories) or in the villages e.g . carrying loads, or
doing ag ricultural work (ea rning PKR 4,000 - 6,000 p er month). The fourth and
the poorest income group consist of female-headed households with limited
support from extended family and rely on income from child labour,
zakat2(mandatory religious tax) and small amounts of casual work by the
women (ea rning PKR 1,800 - 3,500 pe r month).

life expenses.
o 42% people assoc ia ted with a gric ulture have fruit o rchards on their
land and have lost two seasons of yield with no or negligible returns from
these orchards. Whilst the orchards require regular maintenance like
c utting (inc ludes thinning , top p ing , ge neral c utting ), pestic ides spray, uses
of fertilizers & manures and hoeing, which was not done during the past
two seasons (due to conflict), with an estimated 72% decrease in fruit
p rod uc tion (p ro jec ted for next ha rvest sea son). This loss can be
substantially brought down by facilitating the owners by providing paid
lab our, use of fertilizers, pestic ides and p rop er c utting.
o The c om munity prioritizes the agricultura l inputs (inc luding orcha rds)
as their foremost need for the rehabilitation of their sustainable livelihood.
Provisions of qua lity seeds, fertilizers, pe sticides, small livestoc k, tra inings,
infrastructure rehabilitation (irrigation channels) and cash for work were
the key remed ia l ac tions identified by the c ommunity.

2009, humanitarian assistance was still provided to 1.1 million IDPs, host families
as well as to 1.6 million returnee s.6
Before the c risis d istric t Swat ha d b ee n a fertile va lley with adeq uate pure spring
water, blooming fruit orchards, good year round crop harvests, gift of natural
beauty, beautiful gorges promoting tourism and even skiing slopes and natural
resources. Swat s ma in econom y ha s been b ased on three spec ific sec tors
agric ulture, mining for em eralds and fruit orcha rds. When the milita ry op eration
aga inst Ta liban sta rted in Ma y 2009, the wheat c rop and the fruits, ma inly
ap ricots and p lum, were rea dy for harvest, which c ould no t be d one.
Upper Swa t is one of the mo st a ffec ted zone s of the conflic t a rea . Due to c lose

continued in uppe r Swa t for a longer durat ion, and the b an imp osed on
farmland cultivation to prevent miscreants hiding in the fields further
aggravated the situation and led towards deprivation of the area from relief
work and thus the affected people of these four union councils remained in the
penal com plex ag ain.
HOPE87, WFP and Mercy Corp are the first few relief agencies to have started
working in this area but mainly in the field o f WASH and Foo d a id , however the
essential livelihood component to Link Relief Rehabilitation and Development
work is still being neglected. Mainly inhabitants of this area may be put in
stayees (inhab itants who c ould no t leave during milita ry op erat ion), as both the
check posts i.e. Fizagat and Khwazakhella were blocked at the time when
displac eme nt oc c urred and ma jority of the p eop le c ould no t lea ve the a rea.
Keeping in view this background and the presence of HOPE87 in the area for
the p rojec t Hop e fo r the vict ims of c onflic t in Pakistan , HOPE87 cond uc ted a
live lihood assessment o f the a rea from 12th January 2010 to 18th January 2010.

02: Methodology
The m ethodolog y for this assessment wa s designed by keep ing in view the
humanitarian SPHERE Standards for food security and livelihood assessments in
disaster struck areas. A qualitative approach was used, with primary data
collected using household or key informant interviews, plus a number of focus
group disc ussions.
Enumerators carried out semi-structured interviews using a basic checklist of
livelihood issues to be covered, covering livelihood patterns before and after
the conflict, considering differences between geographical areas, livelihood
group s and sea sona l pa tterns. Information wa s ana lyzed and interpreted using
a c om b ination of the Household Econom y App roa ch7 and the Susta inab le

2.1 Stakeho lders Consultation:As a first step the assessment team led a stakeholder consultation process that
inc luded ind ividual meetings with a range of huma nitarian age nc ies and other
institutions9. The p rima ry stakeholde r at field leve l that inc luded farme rs and
community based organizations, local agriculturists, field staff of humanitarian
agencies and government line departments10 were also consulted.
Representation in consultation for the study design, field observations,
community needs and final reporting was put in place from these primary
stakeholders at field level. Whilst at district level the key stakeholders, the
Government line agencies for agriculture, livestock, small industries and banks11
we re a lso c onsulted a t ea c h leve l of the study.
2.2 Secondary Data analysis:Having roots in community through a local partner UQAB Welfare

239 respondents for key informant interviews/ in-dep th interviews.
40 focus group d iscussions.
2.3 Prelim inary Field Work:
Prior to designing the assessment methodology, the assessment team spent
seve ral hours reviewing sec ond ary data , disc ussing the expec ted outp uts of the
study with a range of stakeholders, and discussing field visits reports13. The
purpose of the visits and the day-long discussions was to have a sense of the
appropriateness of participatory methodologies in a post-conflict situation and
to g auge the following:
Is it fea sible to expec t p eople to mee t in g roup s?
How a pp roa chab le a re households?
What types of questions ma y be a pp rop riate and not appropriate?
What a re the best ways to app roa ch comm unities?
Who a re the com munity lea ders that c ould ma ke the introd uctions and b ring
people together for discussion?

2.5 Too ls designing and sequenc es:
The outc om e o f the stakeho lder consultation a nd the initia l field visits of Direc tor
Operations (HOPE87 Pakistan) resulted in development of tools for the
participatory livelihood assessments, to capture the elements of the livelihoods
framework that had not been covered in previous studies or by the secondary
da ta review.
The p artic ipa tory comp onent of the study w as designed to po rtray a picture o f
the situa tion in Tehsil Cha rbagh from the perspec tive of its inha b itants
themselves. In addition, by using local development professionals as facilitators
and analysts, the qualitative study benefited from the skills and interpretations of
those c urrently ac tive in help ing the a ffec tee s to imp rove their living. The
methods used were intended not simply to collect data but to provide a
structure for community members and facilitators to analyze their own
vulnerability, assets, livelihoods and coping strategies and priorities in an
interac tive fa shion. The to ols we re d esigned to build on ea ch other in an

interests. Thoug h the de sign o f the me thod ology c annot presc ribe o r pred ic t a ll
the possib le informa tion tha t w ill eme rge .
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, the teams were trained and sensitized
about the fact that the validity of information is proportional to the quality of
interaction between facilitators and participants. If participants (and facilitators
for that ma tter) do not unde rstand the ob jec tives of the assessme nt o r trust the
fac ilita tors, then the informa tion tha t em erges ma y not p resent the rea l picture.
2.6 Team com position, Training and imp lementa tion:
Team Composition: Four field tea ms we re constituted , where ea c h tea m was
led by professional developmental workers having sociology or social work as
the key qua lifica tion. Eac h tea m consisted of five m em be rs (One w om an, and
four men). An office based team of three professionals (One Program
deve lopment, one agriculturist a nd one IT professiona l) for da ta c lea ning,
consultation with the stakeholders, trends and aspirations compilation, data
analysis and report writing was also instituted. Data punching was outsourced

Implementation: The assessment wa s c onduc ted in 20 villages by four teams.
Each union c ounc il was dep loyed by one survey team, which c ond ucted survey
and foc us group d iscussions in their respec tive union c ounc ils in th ree days.
The key informant interview s we re c ond ucted in a ve ry dynamic w ay inc luding
initial consultation with the entire family members, including females and listing
of p re and post c onflic t a ssets as we ll as incom e sources and ma jor expenses ofa household . The entire fa mily me mbers were tha n inc luded in prioritiza tion of
needs & actions for the re-instating/rehabilitation of their livelihood
sources/means. Later a detailed key informant interview was conducted basedon the findings of detail discussions with them, following by re-confirmation from
the same family members. Moreover, it was endorsed by the family head by
his/ he r signa ture or thumb impression.
2.7 Analysis:
At the end of each site assessment, the facilitation team came together to
prepa re the ir site reports and to com p ile a summary, ba sed on the key them es
used in the original design of the assessment methodology. At the end of each
day, fac ilitat ion te am s came tog ethe r in b ase c am p to present and d iscuss their

03: Key Find ings
Overview:
A total of 1,570 individuals (239 persons as key informant interviews, 706 in
households consultations, 57 in PRA/PLA mapping and 568 in focus group
discussions) were consulted during the study. 240 community volunteers
partic ipa ted in basic p rofiling of ho useholds and villages. The b asic p rof iling of
villages (up to small hamlets) and households has been done for the 92% of the
area that leads towards a very clear and comprehensive picture of the area.
The study conta ins very spec ific a nd p rec ise information in som e c ases while
projection in other cases is based on sample size but was complimented with
these b asic profiles, to overcom e any short-co mings of sampling study.
3.1 Human Capital:
During the study 6,400 househo lds basic p rofiles (92% of the to ta l HHDs in Tehsil
Charbagh), 72 village profiles (92% of the total villages) were developed and
ana lyzed through MIS. Based on these inputs and key informa nt interviews results

3.2 Soc ial Capital:
Trad itiona lly dec ision ma king of the village is in ha nd of a few village elde rs
numbering three to four. The role a nd influence o f these p ersona lities in
dec isions such a s construction of schools and health fac ilities etc . for pursuing
personal agendas has resulted in many villages lacking facilities and thus
remained backward. During the 80s and 90s, due to sustained efforts of civil
society and donor agencies, the livelihood of the common person improved
due to interventions in educa tion, agriculture a nd livelihood extension p rog rams
resulting in a d iminished role fo r these d om inant persona lities. In the lower Swat
areas the lower middle classes are more active in community social work and
developmenta l initiat ives. How ever in up per Swat rura l areas like Kishawra and
Talegram , the p overty levels lea ve room for the dom inanc y of such Khans to
varied degrees.

talibanization adversely affected the role of village and community
organisations.
At the same time, traditionally, community participation is very strong amongst
the villagers i.e. the organization and arrangements of social events such as
funerals and w ed dings is ma naged by village com mittees. These c om mittees
are very pro-active since last 8-10 years, except for the last two years during
Taliban influence. One imp ortant aspec t o f soc ial c onnec tivity is ac tivities
related to irrigation channels. Participation in cleaning, dredging and
maintenance of irrigation water channels is voluntary. However, at the same
time, the collective decision among the villagers is deficient in the society,

Land Hold ing:
Average land holding per household is 15 Kanal (1 Kanal = 500 m 2 approx.), out
of which 78% (about 11.7 Kanal) is cultivable. 53% of cultivable land is water
channel/canal irrigated while the remaining is rain-fed. Both type of lands have
year round cultivation cycles and the farmers of this area are busy in the fields
for the whole year. For details see annexure III Farmers year and annex VIII for
c rop cycles.
For over a year now, majority of the fertile lands remained un-touched by the
farmers, resulting in decrease in yield and production. Furthermore these lands
now require extra efforts in terms of ploughing and fertilizers for rehabilitation
and com plete ly re-insta ting to the p re-conflic t levels.

fertility of their land. On average a farmer rears 6-8 big livestock animals of
different types such as buffalo, cow, oxen, sheep, goat, donkey and horse. At
the same time they keep 10-12 poultry as we ll. The milita ry c onflic t ha s resulted in
a huge decrease (69%) in livestock as the villagers sold their livestock due to
unava ilab ility of feed for these livestoc k and to ge t som e c ash for da ily expenses
during d isplac em ent.
The cultiva tion of a griculture lands a lso p rovide feed for the livestoc k and thus
decrease in production of crops also results in decrease of livestock rearing and

Restocking Livestock:
The key find ing dep ic ts c lea rly tha t livestoc k is the integ ral pa rt of fa rming in the

restoc king of livestock as follow:
o Provision of poultry for backyard poultry farming
This ac tivity will help in reha b ilita tion a nd d evelop me nt of ultra poo r families

Due to lack of awareness about livestock as valuable assets, poor families do
not see the importance of vaccination of poultry and livestock. However the
provision of inputs (awareness sessions, veterinary treatment like droplets,
