Our goal is to support the affected people in Pakistan from the 2011 floods by providing temporary shelters, food, water, water purification machines, and helping to rehabilitate schools and clinics. We also aim to provide long-term support through supplying cattle, seeds, and fertilizers to help restore livelihoods. The floods have devastated many regions of Pakistan, affecting over 7 million people, destroying homes and farmland, and spreading water-borne diseases. We urgently need donations to help the millions of people struggling in the aftermath of this disaster.

This Thematic Paper is part of a Toolkit for Project Design (Livestock Thematic Papers: Tools for Project Design) which reflects IFAD’s commitment to developing a sustainable livestock sector in which poor farmers and herders might have higher incomes, and better access to assets, services, technologies and markets.
The paper indents to be a practical tool for development practitioners, project designers and policymakers to define appropriate livestock development interventions. It also provides recommendations on critical issues for rural development and also possible responses and actions to encourage the socio-economic empowerment of poor livestock keepers.

Flood has been considered as one of the very most recurring and frequent disaster in the world. Due to recurrent prevalence, the economic loss and life damage caused by the flood has put more burdens on economy than any other natural disaster.
