EWB-DK has two roles in this project, one is to act as a link towards the Danish civil society donorand the second is to support the Karwan Development Foundation (KDF) in its continuous admirableeffort to implement Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction activities in the Mian Essa community

EWB-DK has had the pleasure of working with KDF executive board and project staff forapproximately 21 months, which has been a learning experience for EWB-DK. We have during thisperiod of time developed our working relationship, through focus on communication, understanding ofdifferent perspectives on project activities and nally through a shared value to make the projectactivities matter for the people of Mian Essa. Because of our experiencing in working together, we havenow reached a level of partnership that is unique in terms of openness between our two organizations

and in terms of transparency in decision-making. In the future we will work to further develop ourpartnership through even more focus on communication and through denition of clear roles andresponsibilities between our organizations

The activities carried out during phase 1, have varied from structural mitigation, training sessions,mobilization of Mian Essa community volunteers and advocacy. It has not been our intention to meet allthe needs of the community we simply do not have the funding and we believe that the best way tohelp, is to support the community to develop its own capacity to provide for itself. At EWB-DK weunderstand that this approach can be frustrating at times for the community, because needs are notmet instantly. However, by being engaged in the community over a long period of t ime, we hope thatlong term capacity building will prove to bring sustainable development to Mian Essa, in a way thatenables the community to meet their own needs

At EWB-DK we are grateful that we have been given the chance to continue with the implementationof Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction activities in the Mian Essa community. We in EWB-DK arelooking forward to continue this work and contribute to an even more disaster resilient Mian Essacommunity

Danish Muslim Aid feels very privileged to be part of this great project. Prepared-ness against disaster is one of the key elements in being able to handle disasters, ifand when they strike, and if any community has had any training in this respect,they are so much better equipped to handle the situation, in case it will becomenecessary

Recognizing the fact that we are working in an area, which has very strong localtraditions, we do not expect or even intend to make a total change of behavior inthe community, but simply to lend a hand to the local community in respectfulrecognition of the local traditions and culture, hoping that this will be benecial.

Pakistan is ranked among top ten countries worst hit by the natural disasters in theshape of earth qua, rains and oods. There is an increased frequency of oods for thelast four years in the country due to changing and unpredictable weather patterns. In arecent policy note by World bank. The incumbent Government had been advised toimprove the disaster management structure at federal, provincial and district todownward levels to ensure timely response in case of any natural disaster. This is not
