The 2010 Pakistan floods caused widespread damage, displacing millions of people. To help coordinate relief efforts, PMI Karachi is seeking volunteer trainers to provide PMDR training. Project Aid proposes sending 3 trainers to Pakistan in late September to conduct a Train the Trainer program on post-disaster PM based on PMI methodology. The training would educate 25 local PM trainers, who would then train up to 1,200 relief workers, improving coordination of relief activities among agencies.

What is the problem statement that needs to be resolved?
The 2010 Pakistan floods began in July 2010 following heavy monsoon rains
in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan regions of
Pakistan. Present estimates indicate that over two thousand people have died
and over a million homes have been destroyed since the flooding began.[3]
The
United Nations estimates that more than twenty million people are injured or
homeless as a result of the flooding,[
exceeding the combined total of
individuals affected by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir
earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. However, the death count in each
of those three disasters was significantly higher than the number of people
killed so far in the floods.[5]
At one point, approximately one-fifth of Pakistan's
total land area was underwater due to the flooding.
UN Secretary-general Ban Ki-Moon has asked for an initial $460 million for
emergency relief, noting that the flood was the worst disaster he had ever
seen. 50% of the relief funds requested has been received as of 15 August
2010.The U.N. is concerned that aid is not arriving fast enough, while the
World Health Organization reported that ten million people were forced to
drink unsafe water.[10]
The Pakistani economy has been harmed by extensive
damage to infrastructure and crops.[11]
Structural damages are estimated to
exceed 4 billion USD, and wheat crop damages are estimated to be over 500
million USD.[12]
Officials estimate the total economic impact to be as much as
43 billion USD

3. Introduction to Project AidIntroduction to Project Aid
2010 marks the 5 year anniversary since Project Aids formation following the 2004 Asian Tsunami which provided the catalyst for our creation.
It also 12 months since the Victorian Black Saturday bushfire disaster. These major events have marked challenges and lessons in the
delivery of project capability by not for profits (NFP), non government (NGO) and community organisations.
These events also serve as powerful reminders of the need for effective project management responses to these events over the short and
long term. The demand for effective project management within the humanitarian, development and community sectors remains present
and challenging. The Project Management communities role “giving back” to the wider community represents a valuable social
contribution.
Project Aid continues its vision and mission to expand project management capability through training, mentoring and project partnership. We
have come a long way and still face many new challenges to reach our objectives. It will be only achieved through the continuing
generous contribution of project managers and our supporters who believe in the cause.
2010 represents an exciting new chapter for Project Aid and the PM community to participate in these initiatives. We continue to build strategic
relationships, expand our delivery capability, mature our organisation, launch innovative programs and continually expand opportunities
for PM volunteer participation.
We will leverage new and innovative ways to engage Project Managers and this year will expand our onsite PM training interstate, launch online
PM training specifically for international development projects, increase fund raising to increase our organisation capability and promote
project partnerships.
Project Aid provides practical opportunities for PMs to participate in this sector, provide leadership in championing NGO, NFP Project
Management and building the bridge between the PM community, business and the Not for Profit, NGO and community organisations.
We remain positive and committed to achieving the vision of “bringing effective project management" to our partners.
Thanks for your consideration of our mission. Your Faithfully, Project Aid

14. Situation – Pakistan Flood DisasterSituation – Pakistan Flood Disaster
The recent floods in Pakistan have affected over 17 million people to date. It is
one of the largest natural disasters of our time.
A key element in coordinating relief activities is to reach as many people as
quickly as possible , using all available resources. Current relief agencies in
Pakistan include, the Government, the Military, International agencies, as well
as local NGO’s and Civil Service Organziations. There is little interaction
between the players, and efforts do not maximize the impact.
Coordination amongst these groups requires concrete project/program
management skills combined with real disaster management experience,
which is not readily available.
Identify the important strategic issues influenced by the case

15. Situation – Call for ActionSituation – Call for Action
The Karachi Chapter of the Project Management Institute (PMI) has
approached Project Aid for assistance in developing a Train the Trainer (TOT)
program at a national level.
The intent of this training is to build the knowledge base and capacity of local
leaders , who could then conduct ongoing trainings, interact with key decision
makers, and impact the long term planning for rehabilitation and reconstruction.
Identify the important strategic issues influenced by the case

16. Situation – Program ManagementSituation – Program Management
Program Management
Overall Program Design and structure will be developed jointly by PMI Pakistan
and Project AID. The program in Pakistan will be managed by a core group of
6 PMI members ( 2 each from the respective chapters of Karachi, Lahore and
Islamabad)
In addition to creating a core group of human resources with required skill sets,
it will be critical to quickly disseminate information on PM for Disaster
Management, availability of the resources and the benefits to key stakeholders
in the relief effort.
Identify the important strategic issues influenced by the case

17. Situation – Trainee SelectionSituation – Trainee Selection
Trainee Selection:
The initial training program is envisioned to consist of 20-25 participants who
will be selected based on:
Geographic location
•Access to and influence on key decision makers for relief programs
•Background in Development/Relief Work/Emergency Care
•Professional Expertise and Affiliation ( PMP’s, Medicine etc)
Trainee Commitments:
•Trainee will use the knowledge within his/or her organization and act as a
champion for Disaster PM
•Each Trainee will be requested to make a commitment to train at least 50 new
trainees ( 2 training sessions each) over the course of the next 6 months,
which will be organized by the PMI core group. This approach will disseminate
the knowledge to 1250 to begin with.
Identify the important strategic issues influenced by the case

18. Situation – Skills TransferSituation – Skills Transfer
In addition to creating a core group of human resources with required skill sets,
it will be critical to quickly disseminate information on PM for Disaster
Management, availability of the resources and the benefits to key stakeholders
in the relief effort. For that purpose, PMI Pakistan will coordinate a series of
roundtable discussions to be held pre and post trainings. Ideally the session
would benefit greatly from participation of members from Project AID, who
could share their first hand experiences as well.
Pre/Post Training Activities:
Roundtable of Key Disaster Relief Agencies for coordination efforts:
National Disaster Management Authority
UNICEF
OCHA
RED CROSS
USAID
Ministry of Health
eHealth Association Pakistan
Local Organizations Roundtable(s) – Conducted by geographic location
Sindh, Punjab, NWFP
