ABOUT PROGRAM

Parts of Pakistan's KhyberPakhtunkhwa province and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) were badly damaged in the 7.6 magnitude earthquake of 2005 that claimed more than 74,000 lives, leveled 272,000 buildings including 585 healthcare facilities and 15,000 educational buildings and rendered some 3.5 million people homeless.

The destruction reached out over 30,000 square kilometers. As humanitarian response, The US Agency for International Development (USAID) committed to reconstruct 77 buildings in the earthquakeaffected areas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Mansehra district of Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa (KP), that were among the most-damaged areas. USAID's Pakistan Reconstruction Program (PRP) was started on October 27, 2006 as a five year $120 million contract for earthquake-related reconstruction. In June 2011, the program ceiling was raised to $137 million to reconstruct more schools in both the districts. Now, all 77 buildings have been completed and furnished including 15 basic health units, a large hospital, and 61 girls' and boys' schools (27 schools in Bagh & 34 schools in Mansehra).

In addition to above grant, through additional funds of USD 43 million, USAID Pakistan Reconstruction Program is also building, Jacobabad Institute of Medical Sciences in Jacobabad city of Sindh province, academic blocks in 6 universities of Pakistan, renovating Institute of Education & Research building in Punjab University and rehabilitating about 40 schools in flood affected areas in Sindh and Balochistan. A state-of-the-art Gynaecology and Fistula Ward at Karachi's Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Center (JPMC) has already been completed, furnished, and handed over to the concerned authorities. USAID Pakistan Reconstruction Program worked in close liaison with Pakistan's state institutions including Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA), provincial education and health authorities, local Pakistani firms, and local communities.

According to UN and OECD data, the US Government is the largest donor of humanitarian assistance to Pakistan which reached out to all provinces of the country including Azad Jammu and Kashmir. This U.S. effort is part of a broader partnership between the two countries to help Pakistan's infrastructural growth and enhance access to quality education and healthcare. Across all these priority sectors, USAID also seeks to enhance gender equality and strengthen governance processes.

CONTEMPORARY ENGINEERING

Build Back Better was the aim of the program focusing earthquake-resistant buildings built better than the ones damaged in the 2005 earthquake. Designs for these 77 buildings were preceded by several necessary steps, including

technical and social feasibility studies. Once sites were selected, the technical and design teams (comprising engineers, architects, land and quantity surveyors, environment specialists, and social mobilizers) developed the

designs with community input. To meet international building codes, numerous steps were taken such as; computer modeling techniques, independent design checking and verification requiring computer-based calculations, several drawings and many

construction specifications for material and equipment which was to be used. The social assessment ascertained the local needs and demands for the new building and willingness of the communities to participate; while the environmental assessment looked at environmental considerations. Besides considerations to protect natural life around sites, designs also provided septic tanks and soakage pits to ensure minimal impact to the environment. Durability and long term maintenance were also considered to ensure that buildings serve their communities for a long time. Design of each building under this program took into account a complete study of gender analysis, climate data, future water requirements, and sustainability and energy efficiency factors.

All the buildings were designed to meet international standards and provided access for the disabled. The design criteria included all aspects related to electrical, civil, structural, and architectural specifications. For instance, the design considerations in electrical works ensured adequate lighting and ventilation in all rooms and offices. In the civil works it ensured proper sanitation, drainage of rain water and provision of safe drinking water. It was ensured that all buildings reconstructed under this program were structurally safe

meeting appropriate design codes such as Unified Building Codes-97 (UBC 97). Architectural considerations varied according to the area and the type of building.

Everything in this project was very open and transparent, we knew the design, cost, construction schedule and quality of the material. SMC Chairman, GGHS Juglary.

STATE-OF-THE-ART CONSTRUCTION

Construction of the buildings is the on-ground implementation of the design concepts based on the analytical studies such as climate and gender considerations, and end-users' present and future requirements. All construction under the USAID Pakistan Reconstruction Program was carried out by Pakistani contractors who were pre-qualified based on their technical and financial capabilities, timely performance records, and their work

experience in those areas. The quality of construction was supervised by construction management team of engineers/inspectors hired and deployed by the Program. From a pool of pre-qualified companies, the USAID project selected contractors for each small group of two-to-seven buildings and awarded contracts based on competitive bidding. During the early years of the project, local contractors were

not familiar with the international health, safety, environment and construction quality control standards and procedures. With assistance and guidance from the project's engineers and inspectors at every site, local contractors became skilled at carrying out construction works that met international standards.

Building schools and clinics in Pakistan's earthquake areas of KP and AJK proved challenging as most of the locations were difficult to access, had limited and restricted construction area, and had challenging weather conditions along with the shortage of skilled labor and construction materials in these areas. This created a very demanding environment for the construction but project made progress as scheduled.

In the earthquake area, construction has been completed on 77 buildings in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Mansehra district of KhyberPakhtunkhwa (KP) province. These buildings include 34 schools in Mansehra while 15 basic health units, 27 schools and one hospital building in AJK; all of which have been completed and handed over to the provincial education and health departments.

GRASSROOTS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Long before the construction started, the USAID program's social team got communities ready for construction. They started by public meetings where the communities, stakeholders, and end-users got together and discussed the design specifications according to their own requirements. For reconstruction in the earthquake-affected areas, the communities were led to form or re-activate School Management Committees (SMCs in AJK), Parent Teacher Councils (PTCs in KP), or Health Management Committees (HMCs).

The goal of organizing local people was two-fold: firstly to prevent or solve many of the common community-related problems in construction; and secondly, for the committees to monitor education and health services and share responsibility with the government for maintaining the new buildings.

Community participation in this project was a systematic, stepby-step process. After introductory public meetings, the process moved on obtaining a detailed written agreement between the community members and contractors on communityrelated problems.

Usually, such problems include issues of land ownership, land use, access across private property, use of scarce water and electricity resources, land for dumping materials, behavior of laborers and many other such factors. Facilitated by a team of social mobilizers, the written Committee-Contractor Agreements also detailed how the parties would communicate with each other and how conflicts would be prevented or resolved.

One of the main project successes is how social mobilizers, engineers, other technical staff, the contractors' workers, and community members worked together on a daily basis at the construction sites. Detailed coordination, clear agreements, frequent communication helped keep the construction on schedule and benefited the communities, schools, and health facilities in many ways.

LIBRARY CHALLENGE

Most of the schools built had a furnished library room for the first time but no books.

The SMCs and PTCs were challenged by the project team to donate at least one library book per student and it was agreed that the staff and volunteers of CDM Smith & the construction contractors, would do the same. There was no project budget for this so all the funds had to be raised. Again, the committees enthusiastically accepted this challenge and by the 7th year of the project the initial goals were exceeded. Although poor, these communities donated 23,000 books for their 18, 000 students in KP and AJK. This number was matched by the Project voluntary

contribution of 44,000 books for these schools. When the funds were raised, the local book stores in these remote locations could not fulfill the requirements for in such large quantities. The project team facilitated the communities by arranging two book fairs (in 2009 and 2011) in Kashmir where publishers from around the country were brought and these events were attended by an estimated 33,000 people. Now in these many remote areas where there are no other public or private libraries, each of these schools have a library.

DESIGN & RECONSTRUCTION FACTS

The 77 facilities designed and reconstructed under this USAID program occupy a gross covered area of over 1.1 million sq. ft. in the remotest locations including Forward Kahuta, Kaghan, and Naran with an average altitude of 5,500 feet.

Approximately 213 local Pakistani staff, 4 local architectural and engineering design firms, 12 local construction contractors, and over 250 local suppliers were engaged by the program to accomplish this goal.

In this program, 61 schools were reconstructed which comprise of total 658 classrooms, 121 science laboratories, and 701 toilets. 10,750 tons of steel was used for reconstruction of these buildings and over 8,000 design sheets were produced.

12

RECONSTRUCTION OF EARTHQUAKE-DAMAGED SCHOOLS

USAID Pakistan Reconstruction Program has reconstructed 61 schools in the earthquake affected areas of district Bagh in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and in Mansehra district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province.

As the project ends this year, all schools have been completed and handed over to local authorities in these areas. The schools reconstructed under this program have 18, 000 students from 556 villages having population of 800,000 people.

Before this school was constructed we were sitting on stones on the ground, and in the rainy season it was a big problem. Now we have a beautiful building and a library with interesting story books.We love our school very much! Muneer Ahmed, student at GBMS Chaknari, AJK.

RECONSTRUCTION OF HEALTHCARE FACILITIES

In line with the US government's commitment for better public health in Pakistan, the program also reconstructed healthcare facilities in Bagh district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Fifteen Basic Health Units (BHUs) were completed and are now operational serving over 300,000 people. These basic health units have been completed in some of the most difficult locations in this area with some sites at an altitude of 5500 feet such as Seri

Piran, Chowki, and Kala Mula. A big hospital in Dhirkot tehsil of Bagh has been constructed with an OPD facility to serve 200 patients daily and benefit a population of 80,000 from the adjoining areas. It is a 51-bed facility having 70,000 square feet area and 6 wards including emergency, gynaecology ward, intensive care unit (ICU), pediatrics, and outpatient department with six additional rooms for resident consultants.

In addition a prefabricated building of 5,000 square feet covered area was provided to run the temporary Rural Health Center (RHC). The existing RHC building was retrofitted and made earthquake resistant. This building is much better than previous one. It is facilitating patients from far-off areas. Thanks to USAID for this great work., Zobia Yasmin, LHV at BHU Harighel

SUCCESS STORIES AND TESTIMONIALS

USAID has worked very well for post-earthquake reconstruction in Mansehra district. Project started the construction by involving all the stakeholders and partners and completed its work in the stipulated time. USAID will be remembered due to quality buildings and excellent social coordination among all stakeholders. This model should be replicated by every donor-funded construction because due to community involvement people own these schools and this ensures their durability and proper maintenance. Mr. Fayazuddin, Donor Coordinator, Provincial Earthquake Reconstruction and

Rehabilitation Authority (PERRA) This Project remained unique due to its coordination with all departments including ERRA, DRU, PERRA and especially communities. This enabled the construction to go smoothly and on time as there were efforts for conflict resolution at every stage. This way the project succeeded in completing construction well in time. Mr. Shahab, Program Manager District Reconstruction Unit (DRU), Mansehra. During the earthquake 2005 many schools collapsed or were badly damaged. These schools

did not have proper buildings and collapsed causing most of the causalities. Now USAID has built earthquake resistant buildings for 34 of these schools in Manserha. They have given us good, beautiful, spacious and quality buildings having no parallel. Moreover, they furnished our schools and provided books for libraries. Education Department thanks USAID for this quality work. Mr. Salahuddin, Executive District Officer Mansehra.

I presented project brochure in the session of AJK Legislative Assembly which led to the upgradation of some of the USAID-built schools because of spacious buildings constructed in accordance with international standards. For example, GGIC Rerrah has been up-graded as Degree College which is a real benefit for community and also GGHS Thub has been upgraded as an Inter-College in a far flung area. We thank USAID that after successful completion of the project, it has handedover pre-fabricated buildings, containers, and other essential equipment and furniture to the First Women University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir in Bagh., Mr. Saradr Qamar-Uz-Zaman Khan (Minister for Health, State of Azad Jammu & Kashmir). USAID reconstruction program was an extraordinary and marvelous project of reconstruction in district Bagh AJK.

Time frame for completion was shared and many schools were handed-over before the given schedule. Community participation is a new trend which was introduced here and communities were practically involved in re-construction of schools. Mr. Raja Mohammad Roshan Johar (District Education Officer, Boys' Schools, Bagh, AJK). Temporary tent set up was provided for schools till the

completion of schools in the USAID project and after that those tents were handed-over to education department. Libraries have achieved a milestone and it's first ever that USAID project has established such unique libraries with qualitative and selective books. This project will be remembered ever in history. I don't think this construction will be matched by anyone in the future because of unique designs, earthquake-resistant

16

construction and timely implementation. Mr. Raja Mohammad Roshan Johar (District Education Officer, Boys' Schools, Bagh, AJK).
USAID project's time frame for construction was marvelous as well as the quality of construction was extraordinary. Students were fully involved in the project in shape of drawing competition, library challenge and book fairs. It was an AID project but local technicians, labors and even local resources were used which was another productive impact on business and human resources. Mr. Sardar Mohammad Saleem Khan (District Education Officer Girls' Schools, Bagh, AJK).

Bagh with high quality standards and has implemented ERRA's vision of build back better, Mr. Akhtar Dar (Acting Program Manager DRU). When the earthquake struck, everybody rushed outside and I fell down in the stampede and then my school building collapsed. To my luck, I survived but got wounded badly. Since then we have been studying under the sky, but now I am graduating. I am very happy to see the new school constructed thousands of time better than the previous building. Muhammad Irfan, Student at Government Boys High School, Pinyali, Bagh (AJ&K). The difference between this new building and the one which

collapsed is like the difference between the sky and the earth. I have never seen such a strong mixture of steel and concrete designed in a way to sustain severe quake shocks. Thanks for saving our future generations. Gul Zaman, Chairman School Management Committee at Government Boys High School, Dhal Qazian (Bagh). With the first jolt, I ran out of office and school building collapsed just behind me. I turned back and was terrified to see rubbles around and so many students buried beneath. It was a horrific and bloody scene when we survivors found 86 students of this school completely dead and many were seriously injured. Had this building been earthquake resistant, many of the departed

USAID completed projects in given time frame with excellent coordination with District Reconstruction Unit (DRU) and other stakeholders. DRU of Bagh will always appreciate the contribution of USAID in the reconstruction of schools and health facilities. USAID has constructed high schools and health facilities in

17

souls would have not met this fate. Students' parents have seen that new building reconstructed with USAID funding is according to earthquake code which has led to shedding away their fears and retaining the same number of students, Muhammad Farooq, Vice-Principal and SMC General Secretary, Government Girls High School Kheral Abbasian (Bagh). We have seen so many firsttime-ever initiatives under this USAID construction program in this area. A first-ever approach of participatory development by engaging community into construction, a first-ever book fair and a first-ever celebration of World Book Day. This is just like giving something more than just building concrete.

Muhammad Saleem, teacher at Government Boys's Higher Secondary School, Bir Pani (AJK). The construction here at different hilly sites presented the literal meaning of an uphill task in its real sense. Government Girls Middle School in Besuti has successfully been constructed at 6875 Ft altitude, a BHU at Bani Minhasan has been constructed at a mountain 6586 feet above sea level and similarly we have constructed another health unit at 6303 Ft height in Neela But area of Bagh's Dhirkot Tehsil. The average height of our all constructed buildings is 5000 Ft and even local people were amazed to see how we were able to put manpower and heavy construction material

across sites located on the highest mountains in this area., Ali Akbar Javaid, Deputy Construction Manager, Bagh (AJK). This is first time that community was involved in construction, engineers gave weight to our opinion, design was according to our wishes and furniture was on our selection. Reciprocating their initiative of giving us importance, we extended every possible help including provision of extra land and water to facilitate this construction. Raja Habib, teacher at Government Girls High School, Jaglary (AJK). We have got every kind of books in our new library including books on general knowledge, social values, computers, poetry and novels. This is helping us improve our world vision and we are learning many new things to become better citizens. Rubab Fatima a student at Government Girls High School Chattar # 2 (Bagh). The number of students in our school was sharply dropping as we were being taught in the open air after earthquake

18

destroyed our school. We used to sit on stones and it was miserable for all of us during rains. Many of my school fellows left the school and some families migrated out of city for sake of education. With construction of this school, now the number of students has risen than even before the earthquake because it has been constructed so good with all facilities that it is attracting students not only from this village but from the nearby places also. , Arifa Kanwal, a student at Government Girls High School Chattar#2. This is a memorable gift from the American people. We are living in a most remote area in the forest and our old school building was ruined in the disaster of 2005. We were hopeless as everything was completely destroyed but now, thanks to USAID, we are getting education in a peaceful environment. Muneer Ahmed, SMC member GGMS Besuti.

Before this building we were studying on the ground under the sky without any chairs and roof.We are thankful to the American people for making such a good school for us. Now we have good classrooms with tables and chairs for us. We can now study even if it is raining outside. Our parents are also happy and we all thank USAID for this strong building., Arifa Kanwal, student of Government Girls High School, Chatter # 2, AJK

19

In this project we have set up school management committees that we now think are necessary because they act as coordinating bodies between the people and school management. They discuss how the education system can be improved, what kinds of difficulties are faced by the teachers and what types of problems contractors face during construction. These bodies help resolve all problems. , Gul Zaman, SMC Chairman GBHS Dhal Qazian, AJK

Community involvement reduces chances of misappropriation of funds and gives a sense of ownership to maintain these buildings. Engineers gave weight to our opinions in design and construction of this school. Everybody around here knows that this building was built with support from American people and their government., Raja Habib, teacher at GGHS Jaglari, AJK

ACHIEVEMENTS/RECOGNITIONS

USAID Pakistan Reconstruction Project received international recognition with Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) acknowledging (in November 2012) the design-build excellence of the project. The Institute conferred DesignBuild Award to CDM Smith for

designing and constructing earthquake resistant buildings. The award was received in November 2012 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The project has also received International Safety Award by the National Safety Council (USA) and five research papers

were written and presented in international conferences on different aspects of this project.

This earthquake-resistant building has raised students confidence to continue education., Riffat Mumtaz, Principal, Chattar # 2 School

LESSONS LEARNED

Besides current works underway meeting the same standards, earthquake reconstruction component of USAID's Pakistan Reconstruction Program (PRP) was an inspiring combination of international design and build standards and local expertise making the project an example of global standards of quality getting in sync with local context. The project core team from the onset helped in establishing standard operating procedures. They continued the process of revisiting and improving these procedures during the lifecycle of the project. A transparent and rigorous pre-qualification and selection process for subcontractors as well as for hiring

local staff was instituted. Formal and informal training sessions were conducted for introducing and making them conversant with international contractual and technical requirements. The hall mark of this project was grassroots community involvement. Clear guidelines were established on how the social and technical teams would work to support each other. Technical teams benefited from engaged and active communities and participatory assessment was performed regularly. Community and other stakeholders' inputs were solicited and incorporated in designs. This helped in their

taking ownership of these buildings. Strong capacities of local people; their influences on each other and local knowledge were practically recognized during this project. The project worked with existing local groups or formed new community-based groups like Parents-Teachers Committees or School Management Committees (SMCs) for community and direct beneficiary involvement. As part of the participatory process, these local committees were encouraged to take responsibility for long term maintenance of the new buildings.

22

Ease of replacement, cost and future availability were criteria for selection of materials and engineered wood was used instead of natural solid wood as a consideration for the environment. This project has followed international seismic codes while designing the facilities. The project had a social team which helped coordinate between communities, the engineers, other technical specialists and managed expectations on both sides. A project's Notice to Proceed was not issued to the contractor until that agreement was made. This project experience highlights the importance of community involvement and participatory development process which at times is overlooked by infrastructure development projects. Taking this factor into account at an early stage helps in saving time that may be wasted due to unnecessary protests, work stoppages, and court cases once the construction starts. tiles etc which were subject to price escalations, were procured by the CDM Smith directly and provided to subcontractors as part of contract. This helped in reducing speculative bidding, cost efficiency due to bulk procurement, and maintaining uniformity and quality of material. Overall programming, planning and design criteria were established in close coordination with all stakeholders before embarking on large scale design program. The project team followed the international standards for design and construction. Facilities were designed for low maintenance costs. Sustainability was focused from designing stage to construction and durable materials were used. Reinforced block masonry walls were used and clear entry and exit points were ensured for safe evacuation in case of any emergency. Special consideration was given to local norms and culture; such as higher boundary walls for girls' school etc. PRP-constructed buildings also avoided stone masonry walls because those are more likely to collapse during earthquake putting the building and lives of the inmates at a higher risk. The designs used reinforced block masonry walls and reinforced concrete retaining walls. Active stakeholder engagement, community participation, world class design standards, and earthquake-resistant construction, along with timely completion make this project a success story.

NEW PROJECTS

In June 2011, the program ceiling was enhanced to USD 180 million and the program was expanded to construction

and renovations works in different parts of the country. A snapshot of these projects is here:

Obstetric-Gynaecological Ward at JPMC in Karachi:


The state-of-the-art ward was completed and handed over to the concerned authorities in September 2012. The new building includes 60- bed hospital for in-patient treatment and out-patient wing designed to serve around 700 patients daily. Additionally, the facility includes a Learning and Teaching Center for JPMC students.

Jacobabad Institute of Medical Sciences:


Construction of the 133-bed hospital for the city of Jacobabad was launched in February 2013 and is scheduled to be completed in 2014. The hospital will include outpatient wards, emergency room, diagnostic center, intensive and critical care units, and operation theaters, as well as facilities for administration and support services.
24

The new hospital will serve 1.2 million people in Sindh and Balochistan provinces.

Buildings for University Faculties of Education:


USAID has allocated $15 million for the renovation or construction of seven buildings that will house faculties of education at different universities in different parts of the country. After designing, constrcution is underway for six universities including University of Hazara in Mansehra (KP), University of Karachi in Karachi (Sindh), University of Sindh in Hyderabad (Sindh), Sardar Bahadur Khan Women (SBKW) University in Quetta (Balochistan), University of Education in Lahore (Punjab) and Shah Abdul Latif University in Khairpur (Sindh). Additionally, the program is renovating the Institute of Education Research at Lahore's University of Punjab.

Flood Affected Schools:


Through another $10 million component of the program, USAID is constructing or rehabilitating approximately 40 schools that were damaged by the flash floods of 2010 and 2011 in Sindh and Balochistan provinces. Schools are being built in Mir Pur Khas, Umar Kot, Sanghar, Tando Allah Yar, Jaffarabad and Naseerabad districts.

This is a memorable gift from the American people.We are living in the most remote area in the forest and our old school building was ruined in the disaster of 2005. We were hopeless as everything was completely destroyed but now, thanks to USAID, we are getting education in a peaceful environment. Muneer Ahmed, SMC member GGMS Besuti.
