Pakistan experienced a severe disaster due to extreme monsoon rains and glacier melts, described as a "monsoon on steroids" in 2022. The floods impacted over 33 million people, displacing many and devastating 3.6 million acres of crops in Sindh and Balochistan. Islamic Relief Pakistan (IRP), with donor support, provided relief and recovery aid to around 1.5 million people in Sindh, Balochistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). This Learning Review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of IRP's Flood Response and Early Recovery Programme 2022-23, assessing its successes and areas for improvement.
The Review specifically focuses on different aspects of accountability to people affected by crisis - i.e. decision-making; exercise of rights; acess to timely support; better preparedness and increased resilience; 'Do No Harm' support; feedback and complaints mechanisms; access to coordinated and complementary support; responsive support; community engagement; ethical and responsible resource management.
