Baseline & Endline Survey for Emergency Livelihoods, Protection and Health Response Project for Vulnerable Conflict-affected IDPs in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Context and Background

CARE international in Pakistan (CIP) has been working in Pakistan since 2005 and has extensive programming experience in the country and proposed areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The organization has responded to all major disasters in Pakistan including: earthquake (2005), cyclones (2007), earthquake (2008), population displacement (2009) and floods (2010); operations centered on DRR, resilience and food security.
CIP has demonstrated its capacity to rapidly respond to emergencies, both natural and conflict induced, and has agreements in place with local partners and suppliers to ensure a rapid, cost effective, timely response. CARE International in Pakistan (CIP) with collaboration of local partner organizations designed a project to address the immediate needs of livelihood, protection and health of newly and protracted displaced vulnerable women, men, girls and boys in areas previously unaddressed by other projects, including DFATD funding in Peshawar Valley.  Primarily target of this project is newly arrived (in 2014) as well as protracted IDPs (displaced since 2012) from the FATA that are now residing in previously unaddressed UCs in Peshawar Valley and their host communities. 
 The project will be implemented in rural areas of Peshawar Valley where IDPs have most recently settled within host communities, the new UCs (Larama, Dag, Haryana, Kankola),  have been identified in coordination with clusters and government agencies with higher concentration of new IDPs/TDPs and less response from other humanitarian actors. The selection of beneficiaries will be based on vulnerability criteria that will be identified based on further beneficiary vulnerability assessment conducted during the project initiation. In broader terms, those without access to humanitarian assistance and struggling to cover basic household needs, such as the old, sick and disabled without caretakers, women-headed households and no wage earner, etc.  The vulnerability criteria will be finalized in consultation with the food security cluster, VOs/VCs referring to the above-mentioned points.
