Project Scope
The Rehabilitation and Reintegration Program for TDPs of (erstwhile) FATA is a five-years long 10 million EUR German government funded development assistance project which aims to improve the living conditions in five merged districts of KP including Khyber, Orakzai, Kurram, South Waziristan and North Waziristan. The core objective is to contribute to government’s efforts of sustaining the return of displaced communities by providing basic services and economic development support to returnee villages.

2. Local citizens (women and men) pro-actively participate in the identification, selection and realization of reconstruction and rehabilitation of social and physical community infrastructure. Local civil society is strengthened and their participation in decision making at the local level is tangibly enhanced.
