Between June and August 2022, torrential rains and a combination of riverine, urban, and flash flooding led to an unprecedented and devastating disaster in Pakistan that led to a huge humanitarian crisis and set back Pakistan’s development trajectory considerably. With support from the Government of German through KfW Development Bank (KfW), UNDP has launched the Flood Reconstruction and Coordination Programme which aims to deliver results in the three concrete areas, i.e.,

(1) improved transparency and accountability of the financial resources being allocated for flood recovery through enhanced Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) systems; (2) improved governance mechanisms and capacities for resilient flood recovery; and (3) enhanced recovery support through reconstruction of houses and rehabilitation of community physical infrastructure.
