Project Scope 

The AusAID funded Expanded Early Recovery Project (EERP) was part of the overall efforts to support KPK government’s Post Conflict Needs Assessment (PCNA), Malakand Strategy and the National Flood
Strategy. The project, implemented by SRSP, was implemented in the seven districts of Malakand Division, namely Swat, Malakand, Lower Dir, Upper Dir, Buner, Shangla and Chitral. The project was spread over nine months (May 2011-Jan 2012) with a financial outlay of 255 million PKR. The overarching goal of the project was to rehabilitate lives, support essential infrastructure and thus build resilient communities in areas hit by floods and insurgency.
