Editor's Notes
- From what we are presenting here, we cannot make statistical generalizations about the conditions throughout the affected areas. What we can say is that these were the conditions, needs and priorities of people living in the affected areas that the field teams visited and that what is reported is likely to indicate conditions elsewhere in the affected areas.

- The sample was purposive ; teams were sent to the most affected, accessible areas identified by existing information which included VAM data where possible, NGO information (in the case of GB) and information from the field (OCHA and UNICEF), most particularly in Sindh where the situation was changing rapidly in the lead up to the study and in the days when the field work was being carried out. The assessment prioritised getting information from affected communities and households rather than sampling rigour. Household and Group Community Surveys. There are two levels of information. Distinct questionnaires were used at the household and community levels based on where it was determined information needs would best be met based on consultation with clusters. Most of the information shared today will be from the Household level questionnaire. Male and Female Interviewers. At both household and community level. A range of different living arrangements were covered i.e. household surveys in homes, collective centres, and sites of spontaneous displacement Most affected areas determined by VAM and other field assessments At villages/sites a random quota of households sampled (ideally 10 households per village) sometimes influenced by time constraints. Systematic selection of households (every n th house)
- Total of 188 field researchers collecting information in the field in 4 provinces over 4 days.
- The initial plan was to include Baluchistan in the assessment however an absence of information on which to base the sampling and logistic constraints prevented it.
- Current water sources being used in the sites visited show a marked increase in the reliance on unimproved water sources. Overall for Pakistan the Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement Survey (2008) reported 92.8% of households had access to an improved drinking water source. The deterioration in the situation related to the use of unimproved sources was most notable in Sindh, which is significant as the situation continues to change there. Also of note here is that a around 10% of the population now report not knowing where their water is coming from, when they did know before.
- Overall water storage facilities are poor. This highlights that, even if people do have access to an improved water source, they may not have an appropriate, clean and safe way to store water. The majority reported either no storage, open storage or dirty storage vessels. The situation is worst in spontaneous settlements where it is below 20% of households that reported having closed water containers.
- Unavailability of food stock was an issue reported by households regardless of present living arrangements (ie in camps, collective centres, host families, at the site or damaged houses and in spontaneous settlements). Around 60% of households surveyed overall reported at the household level that they have no food stock. From the information the McRAM as collected province wise, the situation appears worse in GB in terms of food and of least concern in KPK.
- Women have better access to sanitary supplies in Camps than anywhere else. However overall less than 20% of women reported having access to sanitary napkins. This information would benefit from being put in the context of pre-flood situation.
- Across all kinds of living arrangements only around 20% or less of the households reported access to toilets that they perceived to be clean and functioning. The situation in relation to access to appropriate sanitation was worse in spontaneous settlements (as would be expected) but second worse where people were living at the site of their house. NB 43% of rural households do not have access to any kind of toilet facility in non-crisis times ...(Pointing to the need for appropriate education messages in camps about latrine usage.)
- Privacy for women emerged as a serious issue. Only around 40% of women feel they have adequate privacy to go to the toilet, even less than this report having sufficient privacy for bathing and even less again at only around 20% feel they have the privacy they require to breast feed their children.
- In contrast to the previous slide, more than half of the households visited reported that they had received food aid in the last 2 weeks....as expected, the lowest proportion of households receiving food aid was in Sindh. Also, not surprisingly, households residing with host families reported less access to food aid.
- At the community level distribution of infant feeding supplies was reported by both male and female groups. The above chart covers the responses of the female community groups.
- This question is about financial access which may not necessarily imply physical access. It shows that people are less likely to receive free health care if they live in their own homes (that may have been damaged by the floods) and in spontaneous settlements.
- The majority of people have access to some kind of health care within 1 hour of where they are residing. Further analysis of the data is required to determine the kind of health facility they have access to an comparisons with background information in order to see how this situation compares to pre-flood. Access is better in KPK than in other provinces.
- Households identified their own immediate priorities as food and shelter. This was the case across provnices (in spite of the fact that a high number had already received some kind of food aid). NB these are the priorities from the view point of the household, not based on analysis of their situation.
- There were several questions from different clusters about the nature of assistance households identified they most needed. All will be included in the final report, but only this one, from community restoration, is illustrated here. What appears consistent throughout all of these questions is that the primary need identified by households to get on with rebuilding their lives is cash. Other main priorities identified are repair and rehabilitation (including land reclamation in the Agriculture section) and material assistance (e.g. Housing materials).
- In relation to shelter, these were the three most often mentioned household concerns.
- A large proportion (57%) of households report losing between 75% and 100% of their income source (this relates to the fact that the majority of the households were rural and involved in farming/agriculture.
- To get the most out of this data, clusters need to tell us what you want. We have a team available to work hard for you but the best way is to sit with us, tell us what you would like to see from this data so that we can work on what is realistic given the nature of the information through the questions to best meet your needs....if you want the data to analyse with your own cluster expertise, it would also be best if you talked to us.
