Swat Youth Front facilitated a visit of 07 INGO's’ team leaded by Ms. Fatma an  of  Oxfam Pakistan Programme to earthquake-effected district Shangla. Soon after Swat Youth Front conducted a rapid assessment of those INGO's on the  basis of that assessment, a proposal was submitted to Oxfam in-order to provide quick relief to the earthquake affected communities in the area. Oxfam signed an agreement with Swat Youth Front as implementation partner and launched a

project under the title of “Pakistan Earthquake Response Programme”. Initially 3000 families of 06 Union Councils in District Shangla (upper) were selected for the provision of relief goods. i.e. Union Councils  Dandai, Bootyal, Ranyal, Shang, Opal and Sarkool. A group of 20 male and 10 female volunteers were involved to implement the project. 2569 families of the above mentioned union councils were provided  tents, Plastic sheets and blankets etc while the remaining 400-targeted families will be provided  relief goods within a copal of days.

 



Swat Youth Front established regional office at Besham. The services of relevant staff  and  volunteers   were hired to conduct assessment and other relief activities. seven  teams consist of five  members each were formed and  send to the selected areas for assessment.  for smooth and rapid response  to the affectees,    Committees of local stakeholders were formed in each village . After assessment and registration tokens were issued to the affected families and they were supplied relief goods from the Besham warehouse   on October 13,05.M On other hand in remote  areas distribution points were pointed out to ensure the  distribution  approachable for the affected people. During the period  Swat Youth Front tried to reach the most vulnerable and most affected families in the target area as per  criteria of the partner organization. Female volunteers swat Youth Front also took part  to provide  quick relief to the effected females segment of the society. Special attention and priority was given to female, widows, orphans, children and to  those who depend on women only.
The project was initially started  in 08 target union councils. Meanwhile  other agencies started relief activities in our selected two union councils of the project the then those two union councils were dropped to ensure the distribution more transparent and to avoid doubling. Coordination forum of all agencies was formed to help the  Oxfam officials.

1. OXFAM provide four hundreds tents  package on emergency bases soon  after the supply of tents suspended while the remaining items were supplied as per planning. Registration and identification of effectees were  continued in the target area. Meanwhile rainfall started and the people were living with with out any shelter. This critical situation SYF supplied plastic sheets instead of the tents on emergency bases. straggle for the affected communities by Swat Youth Front was contained .The then  issue was discussed with the Program manager of Oxfam. The tent supplied were started  in December 2005 again Meanwhile  governmental and nongovernmental agencies were provide tents and other relief items in our targeted areas. The previous assessment, registration and identification become useless hence Swat Youth Front started identification and registration approached again in the same  areas

2. During the activity some of the local community raised a traditional issue on December 8, 2005 regarding female employees of Swat Youth Front . Thus female related activities i.e. distribution of health hygiene kit was terminated  . Then thousands (1000) health hygiene kits were distributed through male volunteers.

3. Political interests of various groups particularly the newly elected Nazims , councilors and the runners  were trying to increase their vote bank through the distribution of relief goods. They were   hurdles  for the organization. But the organization strictly followed the policy and criteria for the needy people of the area with out personal priorities.
