What is resilience in this context?
![Page 8: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Can we help these people to become resilient to future floods?

Recent FLOODS In Pakistan:
2010: 20m 2011: 8m 2012: 5m
![Page 10: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Challenges and priorities
• The problem of design (= vulnerability)
• Social fabric strong (happy people)
• Pre-existing poverty
• Do no Harm!
• Build on lessons from 2010, etc.
• Livelihoods: deeper into debt. What to do?
• Deal with emergency first
![Page 11: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Often destruction starts from the roof-down
![Page 13: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Both katcha (mud) and pukka (brick) houses collapsed These were built with international donor funds, and will all have to be taken down and rebuilt.

Large tent, £130 - £180 range. Limited adaptability – can’t be used to reconstruct the home.
And expensive!
An overview of “conventional” response
![Page 16: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
£18 / Unit
Cheap but not very good (not much protection and dignity)
![Page 17: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cheaper tent (£100)
Pretty useless though…
![Page 18: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In contrast – a DFID / IOM designed family shelter
£60 / family – including a solar light
![Page 19: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Whole families: better protection, enhanced dignity
![Page 20: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The “Roofing Kit” idea
• £58 per unit
• Used as temporary shelter
• Later to build a roof
• Double the value of a tent
• And half the price
![Page 21: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Roofing kit as seen from outside
Double value kit = good VfM

Keila, mother of four, built walls by herself Says “this is so much better than a tent”
![Page 24: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mustafa, project manager for HANDS, discussing options to further reinforce the walls so this house will be more flood resistant.

OK but what does it mean? Research: Protection for women? Economic savings? Potential for small businesses? Ref. Grameen Shahkti - Bangladesh
![Page 28: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Next phase:
Flood Resistant Shelters
Criteria:
• Low cost – replicable
• Respect local vernacular
• Must be flood resistant
Design improvement # 1:
• Extended roof eaves
![Page 29: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Thick walls with LIME
![Page 30: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Lime is the key
• Flood resistant for 5,000 years
• Good local production
• Cheap
• Sukkur Barrage & Rome
– as evidence
• Leading experts as advisors
![Page 31: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Hydraulic lime goes hard underwater. So let’s use it in the foundations and walls!
![Page 33: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
People build their own homes: bring training to them
![Page 34: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Raise the level of the house
![Page 35: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Keep what works well
![Page 37: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Offer training on range of different designs
![Page 38: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Engage whole communities:
• CBOs • Conditional cash transfers • The ability to listen
![Page 39: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Before and after
![Page 40: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
If we do nothing – what really happens?
![Page 41: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Key results – durable shelters
• 45,000 families (c.300,000 people) in durable homes
• £11m invested
• Equals £260 per family (all costs)
• Compares with £3,500 per family in Aceh
• Or £1,800 per family Punjab / Sindh Govt.

Livelihoods:
41,000 families helped to
avoid debt for wheat crop
87,000 families are helped
to start kitchen gardens
WHAT IMPACT?
![Page 43: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

Household economy
Cash helped
But cash can’t build
resilience
80 to 100% spend on
FOOD
Huge food price
increases!
“We don’t grow our own
vegetables”
“Of course we’d like to
learn”
![Page 45: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Kitchen gardens – introducing for the first time, focusing on women.
![Page 46: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The rationale for “joined-up programmes” – Shelter, WASH, Livelihoods – to build resilience
![Page 47: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
What next?
• Bring the Government on board
• Research and building evidence – 2010 to now
• Engage academia
• Validate the best strategy (VfM, technical)
• Link into the broader resilience strategy
• Innovate, test, research, validate
![Page 48: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Poorly designed
overflow from septic
tanks
A common sight all over
Pakistan
A serious public health
problem has been
created, not resolved.
![Page 49: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
This series of pictures portrays normal village life in many villages in Pakistan and how, with community mobilisation and low-cost, appropriate design, the transformation that could be achieved. This need cost no more than conventional WASH and early recovery projects.
Slide 1: A normal village in Sindh: little shade in the extreme heat, no kitchen gardens, high malnutrition, poor health and hygiene, deforestation, denuded environment, etc.
Residual water from hand-pump
lying stagnant
Overflow from septic tanks creating disease
With lack of fodder, goats roam free and eat
emerging trees and plants
![Page 50: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Slide 2: Hand-pump residual water directed to sunken “sponge” gardens, planted with bananas or other species; septic tanks linked to constructed wetlands; key tree species planted, rainwater collection initiated.
![Page 51: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Slide 3: Goats enclosed and controlled. Sunken beds below hand-pumps planted. Kitchen gardens have started; constructed wetland for septic tank operational; specific native trees planted around the compound, including mango / other fruits, neem and moringa species for multiple nutritional and health benefits.
![Page 52: Responding to floods in Pakistan 2011 - 2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051708/5883ddd31a28ab62358b5c1b/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Concept: DFID Illustration and artwork: UNHABITAT
3 to 5 years on, Moringa trees providing fodder for animals,
increasing milk production by up to 50% and weight gain < 35% While providing multiple nutritional and health benefits for people
Kitchen gardens saving 30 – 50% people’s income on food while improving nutrition
Constructed wetland system provides complete treatment for sewage waste while providing habitat for bamboo and other useful species
Increased shade, wind and flood protection, better hygiene, sanitation and nutrition, household income boosted. Overall resilience enhanced.
