In response to the unprecedented floods in Pakistan in 2010, six iNGO’s (Save the Children, Oxfam GB, IRC, CARE, Acted, and ACF) formed an alliance in order to maximize effectiveness in their response to the flooding. These iNGO’s submitted six proposals to ECHO as a package that was viewed as a collective with shared results areas. The expected deliverables of the project included:

  1. Targeted households receive sufficient food
  2. Households receive enough support to preserve asset base
  3. Best practices in a cash-for-work program are documented.

At the end of the six months of project intervention, a final evaluation was conducted.
