Evaluation of the Early Recovery Support for Flood-Affected Families Project

Objective:

Evaluation of the Early Recovery Support for Flood-Affected Families Project

About Project 
The project aims to reduce morbidity and mortality in flood-affected families by improving access to safe drinking water, supporting livelihoods, and increasing resilience. Key interventions include enhancing WASH services, rehabilitating water channels, distributing livestock feed, and providing agricultural support. The focus is on vulnerable groups such as pregnant/lactating women, children under five, and people with special needs. CARE’s efforts will include improving hygiene practices, supporting irrigation channel repairs, distributing livestock feed and gardening packages, and providing wheat seeds and fertilizers.

Deliverables:

  • Improved WASH Services:
    • Install 100 new hand pumps and rehabilitate 100 existing ones.
    • Conduct 150 hygiene sessions and solid waste management campaigns.
    • Provide 1,000 vulnerable families with Hygiene and MHM kits.
  • Rehabilitation of Water Channels:
    • Engage 500 households in channel rehabilitation through Cash for Work.
    • Distribute 30 tool kits and pay a daily stipend of 950 PKR to workers.
  • Distribution of Livestock Feed:
    • Provide 1,400 farmers with 4 bags (40 kg each) of livestock feed.
  • Provision of Kitchen Gardening Packages:
    • Supply 1,000 households with gardening packages and one-day agriculture training.
  • Provision of Wheat Seed and Fertilizers:
    • Assist 1,660 households with wheat seeds and fertilizers (DAP & UREA) to restore farming livelihoods.

Services Provided:

Momentum provided comprehensive evaluation services by first developing an inception plan and detailed work plan for the evaluation. This included creating and refining tools for household surveys, key informant interviews (KIIs), and focus group discussions (FGDs) with community members. We also developed guides and conducted training for field teams to ensure effective data collection. Our services encompassed rigorous data collection, entry, cleaning, and analysis. Finally, we produced a detailed evaluation report, incorporating feedback and presenting the findings in a consolidated format.
