Parts of Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province andAzad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK)were badly damaged in the 7.6magnitude earthquake of 2005that claimed more than 74,000lives, leveled 272,000 buildings
including 585 healthcarefacilities and 15,000 educationalbuildings and rendered some3.5 million people homeless.
The destruction reached outover 30,000 square kilometers.
As humanitarian response, TheUS Agency for InternationalDevelopment (USAID)committed to reconstruct 77
buildings in the earthquake-affected areas of Azad Jammuand Kashmir (AJK) andMansehra district of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa (KP), that wereamong the most-damagedareas.
USAID's PakistanReconstruction Program (PRP)was started on October 27,
2006 as a five year $120 millioncontract for earthquake-relatedreconstruction. In June 2011,the program ceiling was raisedto $137 million to reconstructmore schools in both thedistricts.
Now, all 77 buildings have beencompleted and furnishedincluding 15 basic health units, a
large hospital, and 61 girls' andboys' schools (27 schools inBagh & 34 schools in Mansehra).

In addition to above grant,through additional funds ofUSD 43 million, USAID PakistanReconstruction Program is alsobuilding, Jacobabad Institute ofMedical Sciences in Jacobabadcity of Sindh province,academic blocks in 6universities of Pakistan,renovating Institute ofEducation & Research buildingin Punjab University andrehabilitating about 40 schoolsin flood affected areas in Sindhand Balochistan.
A state-of-the-art Gynaecologyand Fistula Ward at Karachi's
Jinnah Postgraduate MedicalCenter (JPMC) has alreadybeen completed, furnished, andhanded over to the concernedauthorities.
USAID Pakistan ReconstructionProgram worked in close liaisonwith Pakistan's state institutionsincluding EarthquakeReconstruction and
Rehabilitation Authority(ERRA), provincial educationand health authorities, localPakistani firms, and localcommunities.
According to UN and OECDdata, the US Government is thelargest donor of humanitarianassistance to Pakistan whichreached out to all provinces ofthe country including Azad
Jammu and Kashmir.
This U.S. effort is part of abroader partnership betweenthe two countries to helpPakistan's infrastructural growthand enhance access to qualityeducation and healthcare.
Across all these prioritysectors, USAID also seeks to
enhance gender equality andstrengthen governanceprocesses.

Build Back Better was the aimof the program focusingearthquake-resistant buildings
built better than the onesdamaged in the 2005earthquake.
Designs for these 77 buildingswere preceded by severalnecessary steps, including
CONTEMPORARY ENGINEERING
technical and social feasibilitystudies.
Once sites were selected, thetechnical and design teams(comprising engineers,architects, land and quantitysurveyors, environmentspecialists, and socialmobilizers) developed the
designs with community input.
To meet international building
codes, numerous steps weretaken such as; computermodeling techniques,independent design checkingand verification requiringcomputer-based calculations,several drawings and many

construction specifications formaterial and equipment whichwas to be used.
The social assessmentascertained the local needs anddemands for the new buildingand willingness of thecommunities to participate;while the environmental
assessment looked atenvironmental considerations.
Besides considerations toprotect natural life around sites,designs also provided septictanks and soakage pits toensure minimal impact to theenvironment.
Durability and long termmaintenance were alsoconsidered to ensure thatbuildings serve theircommunities for a long time.
Design of each building underthis program took into accounta complete study of genderanalysis, climate data, futurewater requirements, and
sustainability and energyefficiency factors.
All the buildings were designedto meet international standardsand provided access for thedisabled.
The design criteria included allaspects related to electrical,civil, structural, andarchitectural specifications.
For instance, the designconsiderations in electricalworks ensured adequatelighting and ventilation in allrooms and offices.In the civil works it ensuredproper sanitation, drainage ofrain water and provision of safedrinking water.
It was ensured that all buildingsreconstructed under thisprogram were structurally safe
meeting appropriate designcodes such as Unified BuildingCodes-97 (UBC 97).
Architectural considerationsvaried according to the areaand the type of building.

Everything in this project was
very open and transparent, we

Construction of the buildings isthe on-ground implementationof the design concepts based on
the analytical studies such asclimate and genderconsiderations, and end-users'present and futurerequirements.
All construction under theUSAID Pakistan ReconstructionProgram was carried out byPakistani contractors who werepre-qualified based on their
technical and financialcapabilities, timely performancerecords, and their work
experience in those areas.
The quality of construction was
supervised by constructionmanagement team ofengineers/inspectors hired anddeployed by the Program.
From a pool of pre-qualifiedcompanies, the USAID projectselected contractors for eachsmall group of two-to-sevenbuildings and awarded contractsbased on competitive bidding.
During the early years of theproject, local contractors were
not familiar with theinternational health, safety,environment and construction
quality control standards andprocedures.
With assistance and guidancefrom the project's engineersand inspectors at every site,local contractors becameskilled at carrying outconstruction works that metinternational standards.

Building schools and clinics inPakistan's earthquake areas ofKP and AJK proved challengingas most of the locations weredifficult to access, had limitedand restricted constructionarea, and had challengingweather conditions along withthe shortage of skilled laborand construction materials in
these areas.
This created a very demandingenvironment for theconstruction but project madeprogress as scheduled.
In the earthquake area,construction has beencompleted on 77 buildings inAzad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK)and Mansehra district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province.
These buildings include 34schools in Mansehra while 15basic health units, 27 schools and
one hospital building in AJK; all ofwhich have been completed andhanded over to the provincialeducation and healthdepartments.

Long before the constructionstarted, the USAID program'ssocial team got communitiesready for construction.
They started by public meetingswhere the communities,
stakeholders, and end-users gottogether and discussed thedesign specifications accordingto their own requirements.
For reconstruction in theearthquake-affected areas, thecommunities were led to formor re-activate SchoolManagement Committees(SMCs in AJK), Parent Teacher
Councils (PTCs in KP), orHealth ManagementCommittees (HMCs).
GRASSROOTS COMMUNITYINVOLVEMENT
The goal of organizing localpeople was two-fold: firstly toprevent or solve many of thecommon community-relatedproblems in construction; andsecondly, for the committees tomonitor education and health
services and share responsibilitywith the government formaintaining the new buildings.
Community participation in thisproject was a systematic, step-by-step process.After introductory publicmeetings, the process moved onobtaining a detailed written
agreement between thecommunity members andcontractors on community-related problems.
9
8/13/2019 6th Year Brochure 2013 PRP
10/28
Usually, such problems includeissues of land ownership, landuse, access across privateproperty, use of scarce waterand electricity resources, landfor dumping materials, behaviorof laborers and many othersuch factors.
Facilitated by a team of social
mobilizers, the writtenCommittee-ContractorAgreements also detailed howthe parties would communicatewith each other and howconflicts would be prevented orresolved.
One of the main projectsuccesses is how socialmobilizers, engineers, othertechnical staff, the contractors'workers, and communitymembers worked together on adaily basis at the constructionsites.
Detailed coordination, clear
agreements, frequentcommunication helped keep theconstruction on schedule andbenefited the communities,schools, and health facilities inmany ways.

Most of the schools built had afurnished library room for thefirst time but no books.
LIBRARY CHALLENGE
The SMCs and PTCs werechallenged by the project teamto donate at least one librarybook per student and it wasagreed that the staff andvolunteers of CDM Smith & theconstruction contractors,
would do the same. There wasno project budget for this so allthe funds had to be raised.
Again, the committeesenthusiastically accepted thischallenge and by the 7th year ofthe project the initial goalswere exceeded. Although poor,these communities donated23,000 books for their 18, 000
students in KP and AJK.
This number was matched bythe Project voluntary
contribution of 44,000 booksfor these schools.
When the funds were raised,the local book stores in theseremote locations could notfulfill the requirements for in
such large quantities.
The project team facilitated thecommunities by arranging twobook fairs (in 2009 and 2011) inKashmir where publishers fromaround the country werebrought and these events wereattended by an estimated33,000 people. Now in thesemany remote areas where
there are no other public orprivate libraries, each of theseschools have a library.

The 77 facilities designed andreconstructed under thisUSAID program occupy a gross
covered area of over 1.1 millionsq. ft. in the remotest locationsincluding Forward Kahuta,Kaghan, and Naran with anaverage altitude of 5,500 feet.
DESIGN & RECONSTRUCTION FACTS
Approximately 213 localPakistani staff, 4 localarchitectural and engineering
design firms, 12 localconstruction contractors, andover 250 local suppliers wereengaged by the program toaccomplish this goal.
In this program, 61 schoolswere reconstructed whichcomprise of total 658
classrooms, 121 sciencelaboratories, and 701 toilets.
10,750 tons of steel was usedfor reconstruction of thesebuildings and over 8,000 designsheets were produced.

RECONSTRUCTION OFEARTHQUAKE-DAMAGED SCHOOLS
As the project ends this year, allschools have been completedand handed over to localauthorities in these areas.
The schools reconstructedunder this program have
18, 000 students from 556villages having population of800,000 people.
Before this school was
constructed we were sitting on
stones on the ground, and in the
rainy season it was a big problem.
Now we have a beautiful building
and a library with interesting story
books.We love our school very
much! Muneer Ahmed, student at

SUCCESS STORIES AND TESTIMONIALS
Rehabilitation Authority(PERRA)
This Project remained uniquedue to its coordination with alldepartments including ERRA,DRU, PERRA and especially
communities.
This enabled the constructionto go smoothly and on time asthere were efforts for conflictresolution at every stage. Thisway the project succeeded incompleting construction well intime. Mr. Shahab, ProgramManager DistrictReconstruction Unit (DRU),
Mansehra.
During the earthquake 2005many schools collapsed or werebadly damaged. These schools
did not have proper buildingsand collapsed causing most ofthe causalities. Now USAID hasbuilt earthquake resistantbuildings for 34 of theseschools in Manserha.
They have given us good,beautiful, spacious and qualitybuildings having no parallel.
Moreover, they furnished ourschools and provided books forlibraries. Education Departmentthanks USAID for this qualitywork.Mr. Salahuddin, ExecutiveDistrict Officer Mansehra.

Bagh with high quality standardsand has implemented ERRA'svision of build back better, Mr.Akhtar Dar (Acting ProgramManager DRU).
When the earthquake struck,everybody rushed outside andI fell down in the stampede andthen my school buildingcollapsed. To my luck, I survivedbut got wounded badly. Sincethen we have been studyingunder the sky, but now I amgraduating. I am very happy tosee the new school constructedthousands of time better than
the previous building.Muhammad Irfan, Student atGovernment Boys High School,Pinyali, Bagh (AJ&K).
The difference between thisnew building and the one which
collapsed is like the differencebetween the sky and the earth.I have never seen such a strongmixture of steel and concretedesigned in a way to sustainsevere quake shocks. Thanks for
saving our future generations.Gul Zaman, Chairman SchoolManagement Committee atGovernment Boys High School,Dhal Qazian (Bagh).
With the first jolt, I ran out ofoffice and school buildingcollapsed just behind me.

Students' parents haveseen that new buildingreconstructed with USAIDfunding is according toearthquake code which has ledto shedding away their fears andretaining the same number ofstudents, Muhammad Farooq,Vice-Principal and SMC GeneralSecretary, Government GirlsHigh School Kheral Abbasian(Bagh).
We have seen so many first-time-ever initiatives under thisUSAID construction program inthis area. A first-ever approachof participatory development byengaging community intoconstruction, a first-ever bookfair and a first-ever celebration
of World Book Day. This is justlike giving something more thanjust building concrete.
Muhammad Saleem, teacher atGovernment Boys's HigherSecondary School, Bir Pani(AJK).The construction here atdifferent hilly sites presentedthe literal meaning of an uphilltask in its real sense.Government Girls MiddleSchool in Besuti has successfullybeen constructed at 6875 Ftaltitude, a BHU at BaniMinhasan has been constructedat a mountain 6586 feet abovesea level and similarly we haveconstructed another health unitat 6303 Ft height in Neela Butarea of Bagh's Dhirkot Tehsil.The average height of our allconstructed buildings is 5000 Ftand even local people were
amazed to see how we wereable to put manpower andheavy construction material
across sites located on thehighest mountains in this area.,Ali Akbar Javaid, DeputyConstruction Manager, Bagh(AJK).
This is first time thatcommunity was involved inconstruction, engineers gaveweight to our opinion, designwas according to our wishesand furniture was on ourselection. Reciprocating theirinitiative of giving usimportance, we extended everypossible help including provisionof extra land and water tofacilitate this construction.

Besides current worksunderway meeting the samestandards, earthquakereconstruction component ofUSAID's PakistanReconstruction Program (PRP)was an inspiring combination ofinternational design and buildstandards and local expertisemaking the project an example
of global standards of qualitygetting in sync with localcontext.
The project core team from theonset helped in establishingstandard operating procedures.They continued the process ofrevisiting and improving theseprocedures during the lifecycleof the project. A transparent
and rigorous pre-qualificationand selection process for sub-contractors as well as for hiring
LESSONS LEARNED
local staff was instituted.Formal and informal trainingsessions were conducted forintroducing and making themconversant with internationalcontractual and technicalrequirements.
The hall mark of this projectwas grassroots community
involvement. Clear guidelineswere established on how thesocial and technical teamswould work to support eachother. Technical teams benefitedfrom engaged and activecommunities and participatoryassessment was performedregularly.
Community and other
stakeholders' inputs weresolicited and incorporated indesigns. This helped in their
taking ownership of thesebuildings.Strong capacities of localpeople; their influences on eachother and local knowledgewere practically recognizedduring this project.
The project worked with
existing local groups or formednew community-based groupslike Parents-TeachersCommittees or SchoolManagement Committees(SMCs) for community anddirect beneficiary involvement.
As part of the participatoryprocess, these local committeeswere encouraged to take
responsibility for long termmaintenance of the newbuildings.

The project had a social teamwhich helped coordinatebetween communities, theengineers, other technicalspecialists and managedexpectations on both sides.
A project's Notice to Proceedwas not issued to thecontractor until that agreementwas made.
This project experiencehighlights the importance ofcommunity involvement andparticipatory developmentprocess which at times is
overlooked by infrastructuredevelopment projects.
Taking this factor into accountat an early stage helps in savingtime that may be wasted due tounnecessary protests, workstoppages, and court cases oncethe construction starts.
Construction material such assteel, cement, doors, windows,
tiles etc which were subject toprice escalations, wereprocured by the CDM Smithdirectly and provided to sub-contractors as part of contract.This helped in reducing
speculative bidding, costefficiency due to bulkprocurement, and maintaininguniformity and quality ofmaterial.
Overall programming, planningand design criteria wereestablished in closecoordination with allstakeholders before embarking
on large scale design program.
The project team followed theinternational standards fordesign and construction.Facilities were designed for lowmaintenance costs.
Sustainability was focused fromdesigning stage to constructionand durable materials wereused.
Ease of replacement, cost andfuture availability were criteriafor selection of materials andengineered wood was usedinstead of natural solid wood asa consideration for theenvironment.
This project has followedinternational seismic codeswhile designing the facilities.
Reinforced block masonry wallswere used and clear entry andexit points were ensured forsafe evacuation in case of anyemergency.
Special consideration was givento local norms and culture; suchas higher boundary walls forgirls' school etc.PRP-constructed buildings alsoavoided stone masonry wallsbecause those are more likelyto collapse during earthquakeputting the building and lives ofthe inmates at a higher risk.
The designs used reinforcedblock masonry walls andreinforced concrete retainingwalls.
Active stakeholder engagement,community participation, worldclass design standards, andearthquake-resistantconstruction, along with timelycompletion make this project asuccess story.

This is a memorable gift from the American people. We are living in the most remote
area in the forest and our old school building was ruined in the disaster of 2005.We were hopeless as everything was completely destroyed but now, thanks to
USAID, we are getting education in a peaceful environment.
